*Bodyguard here is referring to a job from ancient times, their duty was to escort and transport goods from one place to another safely. Like a shipping service.

No one knew how, but Boss Sun was getting along with Yan Wang. The inn had already closed as of this moment. Yan Wang was in a good mood, carving a plaque for him on the spot. He was personally stepping on a bench to hang it on the door; the bench was missing one leg, shaking on its own even with no one touching it.

Boss Sun laughed aloud and said, "Your shopkeep is very well trained. No need for you to worry your pretty little head. What are you asking about the refugees for? Nowadays, with the foreign dogs occupying Jiangnan, there are many people drifting everywhere. It isn't worth much even if they lay dead all over."

Xu Ling said, "I heard that there are a hundred thousand refugees in Jiangbei. Our host asked us to come and explore the canal coast. We wanted to accommodate these refugees by building factories and taking them in as workers. Traveling all the way here only to find so little people, where else are we supposed to find workers?"

Boss Sun had drunk half a kilo of yellow wine, his face was red, and his eyes were fluttering. He looked at Xu Ling drunkenly and grinned, showing his yellow teeth and saying, "What, want to dig for information from me?"

Xu Ling: "..."

Chang Geng took the hammer and nailed the sign into the entrance of the pub. He leaped down, smiled, and shook his head. The three-legged bench remained motionless from beginning to end. Master Xu grew up reading books, not knowing about the outside world, afterwards, he entered the court to be an official. He had always been inside the capital; how could he know how to deal with these hardened and experienced men in the pugilist world?

Boss Sun looked at Chang Geng and slurred his words, "White dragon in fish clothing, the shopkeep is not simple."

Xu Ling was breaking into a cold sweat due to fright for a moment, but Chang Geng took the bottle handed over by Boss Sun without a care and drank half of it, "What are all these talks about white dragon or black dragon, some people are bound to run into ghosts if they walk too much at night. I am that ghost."

Boss Sun looked at Chang Geng in a meaningful way for a long time, then laughed, "Why did the Imperial Officer find me?"

Chang Geng had his cover torn down by someone else, yet his face remained unchanged. "Nothing. Just thought that Boss Sun's small pub business is too good. There are only two or three tables of guests every day, but batches of drinks, vegetables and rice were delivered one after another. Can you finish eating them all?"
