Remember in One Second [800 ♂ Small/Say → Net
There was no pop-up window for free reading!
The man was at least in his thirties or forties. Being ridiculed by a girl who was much younger than him, he couldn't hold back his anger.
He stared at Lin Mengya fiercely and spat. "Bah! Don't think that I won't hit you just because you're a woman! Instead of staying at home to serve your man, you come out to show your face in public. I can tell that you're a restless woman! "
Cai Ru's pretty face darkened at his words.
"Be more respectful. If you dare to say these dirty words to my miss again, I'll ask your wife to serve you well for the rest of your life!"
Cai Ru was really good at martial arts. She glared at the man with a very fierce look, which made the man take a few steps back.
"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. Either you leave the Sacred City voluntarily today, or I'll go to the sheriff and let him judge for you."
Lin Mengya just wanted to sneer when she heard the man mention the sheriff.
Did he think that she was a newcomer who could be easily fooled?
If she really went to the sheriff, she didn't know who would be the unlucky one.
She immediately said, "Okay, then let's go to the sheriff. I'd like to see if there's still justice and morality in this world. "
The man shrank his head and hurriedly changed his words. "Do you think the sheriff will care about such a small matter? Besides, you have no evidence. Even if you go to the sheriff, you can't get anything out of it. "
But she raised her eyebrows, looking as if she was unmoved by his words.
"If there are no rules in this world, nothing can be accomplished. Whoever broke the rules today will have to bear the consequences. Any of you can help to invite the sheriff here. I'm not going to let today's matter rest. "
She looked around and saw a few people in the crowd were avoiding her eyes. She knew that they must have instigated this matter, and they might have colluded with each other.
Ha, did they want to trick her just because she was not familiar with this place?
Didn't they know that she was the toughest person in the world?
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The man was just a small businessman. How could he really make a big deal out of it?
Left with no choice, he could only scold, "Consider this old man unlucky, I'm not going to play with you today …"
He didn't dare to say the last few words.
After all, Cai Ru was glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey. If he dared to disrespect her again, she would give him a beating with the aim of paralyzing him.
"Before doing anything, it's best to use your brain first. There are some people you can afford to offend, but there are also some people you can't afford to offend."
Her voice was deep, but it was also a warning to the others.
In the end, those who wanted to watch the fun, those who wanted to take the opportunity to stir up trouble, and those who were confused and didn't see the beginning gradually dispersed.
She keenly sensed that there seemed to be a lot of eyes watching her.
Being famous was like being fat. She had always wanted to keep a low profile, but now it seemed that she had been ruined by that little spice merchant.
Anyway, they would attract the attention of these people sooner or later. But now, they had to be more careful.
When she moved out of the guest house, she deliberately made a fuss so that everyone knew about it. Especially that little spice merchant, he was so angry that he almost died from anger when he looked at her.
In the end, the man took his partner and hid in the house, avoiding the ridicule of the others.
In fact, there was no businessman who didn't know this.
It was just that the man was slightly inferior. Before the girl could counterattack, he had already shown his cowardice.
Lin Mengya had enough of showing off, so she turned around and left with her men.
However, she felt a gaze from the second floor, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
She looked up, but there was no one there.
She could only leave with her men, and didn't care about it.
The location of the shop was not bad. Although it was not big, it was enough for these people to stay.
Most importantly, it was a corner.
When the door was fully opened, they could see the situation on the two main roads around.
It could be said that this was the best place to monitor the surroundings.
There was a small courtyard at the back, which could only store some goods and other things. The rest of the room was for them to stay in.
Lin Mengya personally checked the inside and outside to make sure it was safe.
After everyone had settled down, she asked someone to put up a notice outside the house.
It was written on the notice that in the first three days of the opening, all the spices bought would be given half a catty free if they bought one catty. However, it was only limited to the first 15 people every day. They had to line up here at a certain time every day to pick up the plate. After the line was full, there would be no such discount.
Then, she asked someone to set up a small table outside and put the spices out for everyone to see.
The reason why she asked for the travel permit from the Ma family was not only because Ma Beichen would give her more convenience, but also because the Ma family was indeed a good place for producing high-grade spices.
As soon as these things were put out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
In order to ward off the cold, the local people always used star anise, pepper, cinnamon and other spices when cooking.
Therefore, the good goods in her hands became the target of competition for people to buy.
After Lin Mengya made her presence known, she solemnly introduced the new rules.
The local people immediately ran back and told their relatives and friends.
The next day, when they officially started the sale, there were many more people than expected.
Everyone was busy answering the customers, and even she had to follow them to calculate the accounts and collect the money.
It was not until noon that she could take a breather.
At this time, the craze of buying in the morning had just subsided. She was sitting at the counter and calculating the accounts, when she heard a voice coming from the door.
"May I ask if Mr. Bai is in the store?"
This was her alias. Cai Ru also used the alias Yue Gui.
She stood up and said, "Yue Gui, go and see who is at the door."
When Cai Ru came to the door, she saw the man of the family of three standing at the door, looking into the store.
"Oh, it's you, uncle. Please come in."
Cai Ru's attitude was very polite, so that the man didn't realize that she had already seen through their identity as spies.
The man smiled cautiously at first, but when he saw Lin Mengya, he was so excited that he rubbed his hands on his clothes.
"Mr. Bai, I didn't expect you to be here."
"Have a seat." Her attitude was not gentle, but not too cold.
The man seemed a little restless. When he saw her, he wanted to say something but stopped.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes. She knew that he must have something to say to her, but she just made small talk and didn't say anything.
In the end, the man pretended to sigh and said with some envy, "I knew that Mr. Bai was a capable man. Now it seems that I was right. If I were half as capable as you, my family wouldn't have to starve. "
See, he was getting to the point, wasn't he?
Lin Mengya then pretended to ask slowly, "Uncle, is there any trouble in your family?"
Seeing that Lin Mengya fell into the trap, the man immediately put on a sad face.
"Alas, the problem of poor people like us is that we don't have enough money. Before, we wanted to come here to seek shelter from the villagers, but we didn't expect that our homesickness has been exhausted. Unexpectedly, the cold last night made my child's mother sick again. I really have no choice, so I want to find a job. At least I can make a living for my wife and child. "
Lin Mengya didn't smell any cold medicine on him. It could be imagined that this was just an excuse.
She pretended to think it over. Seeing her hesitation, the man gritted his teeth and knelt in front of her.
"I shouldn't have come to disturb you, Mr. Bai. But I'm also unfamiliar with this place. Except for you, I really don't know who else can help me. I don't have anything else, but I have enough strength. I don't ask you to give me money. At least give me some food. "
"Oh, please get up. I can't do this."
She immediately went to help him, but the man insisted on not getting up.
Lin Mengya had to let him stay "reluctantly".
"In my shop in front of here, there is a lack of a night watchman. But you have to know that there are rules here. You can live here with your family first, and I'll take you to do the paperwork tomorrow. "
The man immediately kowtowed to her to express his gratitude, but Lin Mengya dodged him easily.
Seeing the man leave, Cai Ru was a little worried.
"Master, isn't it blatantly planting a spy in our shop?"
She smiled. "It's not a good thing. Just wait and see, it will be useful sooner or later."
Seeing the mysterious expression on her face, Cai Ru knew that everything was under the master's control.
When it was dark, the man brought his family here.
The family of three looked quite honest, and even the child was too obedient.
Because the backyard had been occupied by the servants, she suggested that since they were the night watchman, they could live in the front.
Anyway, they could make do for the time being with a few more quilts.
Towards this, the man expressed his endless gratitude.
From chatting, she learned that the man's surname was Li, and he was just an ordinary citizen of a small fief.
Of course, Lin Mengya didn't believe these words.
After dinner, she sat in the room and stared at the lights in a daze.
Behind her, Cai Ru also understood that her master was worried about His Highness, so she didn't disturb her, but just gave her a blanket.
When she was thinking about the possible hiding place of Long Tianhao, her ears moved.
"Cai Ru, listen to the front yard. Is there any movement?"
Cai Ru also listened carefully. They slowed down their breathing, and soon they heard it clearly.
It seemed that someone was rummaging in their pile of goods, and the movement was very careful. If they didn't listen carefully, they would think that it was a mouse.
Cai Ru pointed outside, then quietly opened the door and went out.
Lin Mengya continued to listen, and after a while, Cai Ru returned.
"They have left. I don't know who sent them, but they seem to have hidden something in our pile of spices. Master, do you want to take it out? "
She thought for a while and asked, "Did the three people in the front hall respond?"
Cai Ru shook her head.
"Then let them be."
"But what if they want to hurt us?"
Lin Mengya curled up the corner of her mouth and said faintly, "That depends on their abilities."
