Chapter 431 447. Help from colleagues 25
The guards were unmoved. He had seen many such pleas for mercy. "Go away quickly. The villagers nearby are not allowed to enter. You should go back to the village and stay there. The adults have already started to think of ways to help you solve the problem.

With so many of you pouring into the city, where are the places to accommodate you?
Don’t queue up for those behind you, your household registration is in a nearby village, leave now.”

Village chief Mao's face changed. Their registered residence is also in a nearby village. If they are not allowed to enter the city, how can they survive?

Just now on the road, he heard that the temple is now overcrowded and it is impossible to squeeze in.

Zhang Yaowen watched for a while before realizing why the speed was so slow. Anyone from the nearby villages would be expelled, and only merchants and passers-by would be allowed to enter the city.

At this time, the old man who had bumped into him before had already walked over to face the yamen runners and said, "My lords, I came to the city to visit my child who is studying in the academy. I wonder if I can get in."

"Bring me the household registration." The bailiff didn't dare to act as arrogantly as before and quickly stood up and asked.

No one knows whether the boy in this family has passed the imperial examination. Otherwise, if ordinary servants like them offend someone, they may lose their jobs.

Village chief Mao quickly handed over his household registration, and the yamen runner asked him to register the academy his son attended, his surname and name, then waved his hand and let Village Chief Mao in.

Village Chief Mao used the sleeves of his robe to cover a silver coin and said, "My family is behind us..."

The bailiff thought about it for a while, and finally nodded, "Then go back and line up, and when it's your turn, you can go into the city together."

We have already made an exception here, so we can't let them cut in line, otherwise they will be too obvious a target.

Village Chief Mao quickly nodded his thanks and trotted back to the team.

Zhang Yaowen looked at this scene and didn't say anything. After all, he was a resident of another place, so moving to the city wouldn't have any impact on him.

I turned around and returned to the team. At this moment, the team in front was moving slowly, but also moving forward.

The atmosphere in the family in front seemed to be a little off. Everyone looked nervous, and even the child was sitting obediently on the donkey cart.

This looked very unusual. Zhang Yaowen and the others had doubts in their minds, but they did not go over to talk.

When it was the old man's family's turn, the yamen runners only let them into the city for show. Those who were waiting for news on the sidelines did not dare to say anything.

When Yun Tutu and the others arrived, each of them paid two cents and entered the city safely.

"Let's find an inn first." It was very troublesome to enter the city today, and they didn't want to waste time queuing every day. In addition, they had the silver given by Luo Meng, so they simply chose to stay overnight.

Under the guidance of passers-by, they arrived at the inn.

However, the business of this inn is quite good, with people coming in and out in the lobby and upstairs.

"Dear guests, what would you like to eat today?" The waiter stood at the door enthusiastically, welcoming people in. The business was very good today. There were only two tables in the corner, and the dishes had not been cleared away yet. "Wait a moment, the woman will clear this table right away."

A few quick-handed ladies collected all the dirty dishes and quickly wiped the table clean.

The waiter waited for them to finish packing, then wiped his shoulders with the towel again, and then invited Yun Tutu and the others to take a seat. "We need to eat and stay at the hotel, please help us arrange it."

"Would you like to stay overnight?" The waiter looked a little embarrassed. "Today's rooms are full. How about we go to another place?"

If it were in the past, he would definitely not give away the business he had just acquired, but there were really no rooms here. Even the shopkeeper had to vacate the rooms of their employees to do business, so they could only spend the night in the lobby.

"Business is so good, it seems that you have a lot of merchants coming and going here." Zhang Yaowen also pretended to be ignorant, "I wonder, besides yours, which big inn has vacancies?"

The waiter blinked and said, "Dear guests, to be honest, the rooms in the inns in Nanyue City are quite tight. I don't know which inn has vacant rooms. Why don't you go and ask first?"

The kitchen is already very busy now, and having one less table of food will give everyone some time to catch their breath.

This was the first time he saw a waiter who took the initiative to chase away customers. Yun Tutu lowered his voice and asked the waiter, "Then the rumors we heard on the way here are true. Are there really monsters here?"

The waiter looked around nervously and said, "Sir, please don't say that. We don't have such things here.

As for why the business is so good during this period, we don’t know. You should go to other stores as soon as possible, otherwise you won’t be able to book a room if it’s too late.”

The waiter didn't say anything else after he finished speaking, and immediately took two steps back. He was really afraid that the young master in front of him was saying something and he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Zhang Yaowen couldn't figure out whether the monster was real or fake. It was so hot here and it didn't seem like a sign of impending danger.

The few people didn't bother the waiter anymore and turned around and walked out. If they wanted to find out what was going on, they really had no choice but to stay here.

The prerequisite now is to find a place to stay as soon as possible, because they don’t know whether there is a curfew here.

After searching for several inns, they finally found a dilapidated old inn in a remote corner. But even so, the business here was very good, and only the last two rooms were booked by them.

After solving the accommodation problem, they came to the lobby again, and saw the shopkeeper standing in the lobby with a smile on his face to entertain guests. They thought the inn was about to go bankrupt, but unexpectedly it suddenly became popular.

Maybe because this place is relatively remote, people speak more unscrupulously. As soon as Yun Tutu and his friends found a seat and sat down, they heard talking coming from the next table, and the volume was quite loud.

"Have you heard? That murderer killed several people in a nearby village yesterday. Many people are afraid to stay in the village because of this incident. But this is not a long-term solution. We can't have a home without a way to go back."

"What can we do? Do you dare to go back? The murderer won't break into the house to burn and kill people now, but who knows if he will break in when there is no one to kill."

"Alas, this is not a solution for us. We have to spend money on food and lodging if we stay in the capital every day. If we continue like this, our family assets will be exhausted and we will have to go home."

"Why did I hear someone say that a monster was killing people? Is this a murderer or a monster?"

Yun Tutu and Zhang Yaowen were drinking water. Wow, there are two versions of this.

"No matter which one it is, we can't afford to offend them," the man who said this shuddered, "Why don't we rent a room together? I'm afraid more people will come to the city soon, so we can hold on for a while longer."
