Bai Erlang thudded upstairs from downstairs, "We've checked the back, it's similar to this side. Don't mention the bedding, some rooms don't even have complete tables and chairs, and there are several chairs in the hall missing arms and legs. I say, how long has it been since anyone stayed at this post station?"
Ren Ergou could only force a flattering smile. Bai Shan pointed at the inn diagonally opposite and asked, "Is that inn run by your Post Station Steward?"
"Yes," Ren Ergou said foolishly, "Sir, this post station hasn't had anyone stay for several years. Most officials who come here stay at the inn across the road."
Bai Shan then asked, "I see there's another inn next door, who's running that?"
Ren Ergou scratched his head and shook it, "No idea, but Shopkeeper Zhang is in charge next door."
Bai Shan was new here and had no idea who Shopkeeper Zhang was.
Manbao directly asked, "Who is Shopkeeper Zhang?"
