The innkeeper didn't believe it and thought if the waiter took advantage of his inattention and sneakily returned to the inn at night, he would call the innkeeper to stay at his home the next day and watch him closely.2
However, what he did not expect was that on the second day, when he was counting the wine, he still lost it as before. This time, the innkeeper was still unconvinced, as if his waiter had colluded with an outsider and gave the key to the wine cellar to someone else to steal the wine.
Thus, that night, the innkeeper didn't leave and directly stayed at the entrance of the wine cellar. He stared at the place closely. He wanted to see if there was anyone else who could enter the wine cellar to steal the wine in front of him.
The innkeeper's actions weren't without purpose. If there wasn't a lack of alcohol in this situation, then it meant that his waiter really had a problem. At the very least, the loss of alcohol was closely related to him.
If the liquor could still be lost under these circumstances, then … That was impossible, unless he saw a ghost or the innkeeper was blind. At least in the innkeeper's heart, this was what he thought.
However, the most amazing thing was that the innkeeper personally stared at the wine cellar for an entire night without closing his eyes. He had actually lost two jars of wine on the second day.
This time, the innkeeper really couldn't sit still. Although he temporarily believed that this matter was not because of the waiter, this matter was definitely not something that he could resolve. That was why he came to the deacon's office to deal with this matter.
At this time, Ye Xuan was standing in front of the entrance of the wine cellar. He first looked at the entrance, then looked around and asked: "There's only one entrance to this wine cellar?"
"Right, there's only one entrance." Hearing Ye Xuan's question, the innkeeper replied without even thinking. Then, he smiled and said, "Previously, when the law enforcement officers from the Deacon Board came, they were asking the same question as you."
The innkeeper's words had a hidden meaning. To put it bluntly, this question was no longer a problem. If there were two doors, I would have just told you directly, so could you ask a different question?
Ye Xuan, as a "smart person", naturally understood what the innkeeper's words meant. He bitterly smiled in his heart and didn't mind. He took a deep breath and looked toward the entrance again.
However, the moment he turned his head, he suddenly discovered that the waiter behind the innkeeper had an appearance of wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he stared at the waiter and smiled: "Shop boy, do you have something to say?"
At this time, the innkeeper also turned around and looked at him. He first glanced at Ye Xuan, then looked at the innkeeper and said, "Innkeeper, actually, there is more than one entrance to this wine cellar."
