A rare opportunity

Chapter 204 Pan Jiangshan

Li Yu and the other two got out of the car and walked, while Butler Zeng and the four guards left first to find a place to stay.

There weren't many shops on the street, most of them were warehouses, and the rest were wine shops and inns. Most of the pedestrians coming and going were in groups, going to and from warehouses or going in and out of wine shops.

Li Yu and the other two strolled around for a while, but after all, there was nothing exciting to see. Moreover, although the goods in the warehouse were dazzling, none of them were sold in retail, so Wu Linger felt bored.

Just then a guard came back and told them that they had found a place to stay, so they immediately decided to go to the inn to rest.

Yingbin Building is the largest and most luxurious inn in Xiangcheng. Because of its luxury, the price is extremely expensive. The room rate for one night is almost ten or even a hundred times that of some ordinary inns. Most businessmen go out to make money, and they don’t pay much attention to food and accommodation. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one is willing to spend such a high price to stay for one night. Therefore, most people who live in Yingbin Building are either rich or noble!

Originally, the housekeeper Zeng did not want to stay in the Yingbin Building, because Liu Meng was a frequent visitor here. But after a round, the medium-sized inns were full, and he did not even like the small inns. Thinking that he would only stay for one night and would not alarm Pan Jiangshan, he immediately drove the carriage into the Yingbin Building.

What he didn't expect was that when he drove the carriage into the yard of the inn, he was discovered by a city guard sent by Pan Jiangshan to find Liu Meng's whereabouts. He immediately rushed back to Pan's house to report to Pan Jiangshan.

Although the price of this guest house is expensive, it is really worth it. It is different from other inns, which are divided by rooms but by independent courtyards. Each independent courtyard has several or even dozens of guest rooms. It is like a family courtyard, spacious and private.

Zeng Guanjia and the lobby shopkeeper were very familiar with each other, so without saying anything, the shopkeeper took out the key of the courtyard where Liu Meng lived and handed it to Zeng Guanjia. As for the deposit, he didn't mention it.

When Li Yu and his friends arrived at the reception building, Butler Zeng had already ordered a banquet and was waiting for their arrival.

As soon as everyone sat down, they heard someone outside the door shouting:

"Brother-in-law, are you itching for trouble? You sneaked to Xiangcheng by yourself and didn't even inform me."

When the housekeeper Zeng heard this, he was so frightened that his soul flew away! He thought to himself: Isn't this life-threatening? What I fear is coming! Why is he here!

Seeing the pale face of housekeeper Zeng, Li Yu knew who the person was. But for a moment he didn't know what to do, so he could only look at the Plum Blossom Fairy.

The Plum Blossom Fairy immediately whispered to the housekeeper Zeng:

"Isn't Yu'er your master's friend? Just tell the truth."

After all, the housekeeper Zeng is an old hand, and has seen a lot! He immediately went out with a smile on his face and said:

"Uncle, why are you here? Please come in!"

"Haha! Why am I here? My sister has already sent someone to give me a good scolding! Liu Meng! I've come to your door in person, and you dare not come to greet me? I must beat you up today!"

Pan Jiangshan yelled angrily.

"Uncle, calm down! Uncle, calm down! Who told you that the master is here? Maybe he recognized the wrong person?"

Butler Zeng advised.

"What the hell did you say? You still dare to lie to me now? Could it be that this guy really has two beauties hidden like my sister said?"

As he was talking, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Li Yu saw a majestic man rushing in!

The big man was also stunned when he saw Li Yu and others! He looked around and didn't see Liu Meng, so he thought he was hiding. He immediately waved his hand to the city guards who came with him and said:

"Search! Search for me! If you find that bastard Liu Meng, I'll skin him alive!"

Upon hearing that, the city guards rushed into each room like wolves and tigers and started rummaging through the drawers and cabinets. Li Yu and the other two immediately pretended to be terrified and stood aside.

Butler Zeng kept saying nice things to Pan Jiangshan, but Pan Jiangshan just glared at him! Then he sat down at the table angrily, picked up his wine glass and started eating and drinking!

When the city guards returned one after another, Pan Jiangshan couldn't help but frowned! He immediately waved to the housekeeper Zeng and said grimly:

"Tell me! Where did you hide that kid Liu Meng? Don't make me angry!"

"Uncle! The old man is really not here!"

The housekeeper Zeng said in a crying voice.

"Stop talking nonsense! Liu Meng didn't come, so what are you doing here?"

Pan Jiangshan said angrily.

Butler Zeng hurried over to Li Yu and said to Pan Jiangshan:

"Uncle! We are here on your orders to send this Master Li here!"

"What? Are you saying you guys are here to escort this kid? Where did Liu Meng go?"

Pan Jiangshan asked doubtfully.

"Uncle! This Master Li is the master's best friend. This time we went to the border of humans and demons to collect the goods thanks to Master Li's help. This time the whole family is returning to Qingcheng Mountain. The master is afraid that they will get into trouble on the way, so he asked us to escort them! As for where the master is now, how do we know? Shouldn't he be in Jiushan City?"

Butler Zeng said hurriedly.

Pan Jiangshan's eyes rolled around, thinking: That's not right! My sister said that Liu Meng has already arrived in Xiangcheng, so why did this housekeeper Zeng say that he is still in Jiushan City? Someone must be lying! My sister wouldn't lie to me, so the one who lied must be this housekeeper Zeng!

According to the time when the messenger arrived, the departure time of the housekeeper Zeng should be later than that of the messenger, or at most they should have departed at the same time, which means that they should know that Liu Meng is not in Jiushan City! So why did he lie? Was it just to conceal Liu Meng's affair, or was there some other purpose? Where is Liu Meng? At least the housekeeper Zeng should know it! If you want to find Liu Meng, you must rely on him!

Immediately said calmly:

"Oh? So you really don't know where Liu Meng went?"

Butler Zeng said hurriedly:

"I really don't know! If I knew, I wouldn't dare to hide it from you, uncle, even if I had the courage of the universe!"

But I was thinking in my heart: Liu Meng has already gone to the underworld, or maybe he has been reborn. Even if I tell you, you won’t be able to find him!

Pan Jiangshan glanced at Li Yu and the other two, then stood up and walked out the door. As he walked, he said:

"What a weird thing! Where on earth is Liu Meng hiding? I'm so pissed! When I find him, I'm going to skin him alive!"

When the housekeeper Zeng saw him, he finally put down his heart that had been hanging in the air! He sent him straight to the gate of the inn before returning to the courtyard where Li Yu and the others were.

When Pan Jiangshan saw that Butler Zeng had returned, he immediately ordered the two city guards who followed him to dispatch personnel to keep a close eye on Butler Zeng and his group, and at the same time search the entire city for Liu Meng!
