Chapter 625: Collision

The shopkeeper was also a smart person. He understood immediately and said, "I'm just outside the door. If Miss Meng and Miss Meng have any instructions, just ask someone to call me outside the door. I will come in as soon as possible and wait for the two ladies' instructions."

Then he stepped back and stood quietly outside the door.

So Meng Shisanfang replied: "Really."

Meng Meijing was silent for a while, then asked, "Will Protector Guo help?"

"What do you think?" Meng Shisan threw the question back to Meng Meijing.

Meng Meijing was silent for a long time this time, and then said uncertainly: "I think it's uncertain."

"What's the suspense?" Meng Shisan asked with a faint smile.

"Guo Duhu was able to achieve the feat of following the emperor, which shows that he has a unique vision and is also a person who can plan big things." At this point, Meng Meijing paused and organized her words in her mind, "To put it bluntly, the matter of County Magistrate Shi is a case of not fearing power and being harmed. Looking at the entire Wei Dynasty, I am afraid that such examples cannot be listed in days and nights. If Guo Duhu wanted to intervene, he would have intervened long ago. And with Guo Er's sincere friendship for Miss Shi, I think he also wanted to follow her father's path. But in the end, he took great pains to ask my sister, which must be because Guo Duhu did not agree."

Her words were well-reasoned and, although not certain, certainty was evident in her words.

Meng Shisan was very satisfied with what he heard: "Your analysis is correct, but it's still a little off."

Meng Meijing quickly asked: "Which point?"

"A small move affects the entire body." Meng Shisan made it clear that the Shi Jue incident was not a single incident, but a major incident involving official corruption. "You just said that there are countless such incidents in the entire Wei Dynasty. If Protector Guo really takes action, then it can definitely be resolved, but saving Magistrate Shi's life will bring endless troubles to the Guo family."

Meng Meijing nodded: "That is to say, Sister's suggestion is actually effective, very effective, but it is extremely difficult and almost impossible to convince Guo Duhu to lend a hand."

"That depends on how Protector Guo makes the judgment." Meng Shisan did not say anything definite. After all, people are always different. Maybe Guo Jingxian is a good official who is loyal to the emperor and loves the people.

The best set of ruby ​​headpieces in the store was bought by Meng Meijing last time. Although it was broken and has been taken back for repair, it will still take time.

When she tried to choose again, Meng Meijing picked out several sets but still couldn't find any that satisfied her.

Meng Shisan didn't care about it. Whenever Meng Meijing asked her to take a look and express her feelings, she would just take a look and say yes.

In short, she just accompanied Meng Meijing to buy a gift for her. As for what kind of gift it was, she thought it was all right.

Meng Meijing called the shopkeeper into the private room and asked him to change the jewelry twice again. Looking at the tray full of fashionable jewelry, she finally decided on a set of head ornaments made entirely of pearls.

When Meng Shisan heard the price, she raised her eyebrows. She knew that the last time she bought the ruby ​​headpiece, she had already spent all of Meng Meijing's money. If she bought it again now, she wanted to know what Meng Meijing wanted to exchange for it.

So, under the gaze of Meng Shisan, Meng Meijing happily took out a purple-blue purse and poured out the two large gold ingots inside.

"This……"

"Guo Er gave it to me!"

Meng Shisan then remembered that Guo Rong had indeed said that no matter what they bought today, the expenses would be charged to Guo Rong. He thought that it would be fine after they left, but he didn't expect that Guo Rong had already given the purse to Meng Meijing.

This Guo Rong is a trustworthy person.

After buying the gifts, Meng Meijing was happy and satisfied. Like a happy little rabbit, she skipped and hopped behind Meng Shisan and walked out of the gold and jade store. Meng Shisan smiled and let Meng Meijing skip around her like a little girl who had never been out of the house.

The accident happened at this moment.

A drunk man suddenly bumped into the two sisters. Meng Meijing was immersed in the joy of finally handing the gift to Meng Shisan, and did not notice at all that Jixiang, who was holding various other small jewelry boxes in his hands, screamed in fright.

Baozhu also had her hands full of small jewelry boxes, including a set of priceless pearl head ornaments. When she heard the auspicious sound, her heart almost stopped beating.

Only Meng Shisan was quick-witted. The moment the drunk rushed towards the two of them, she grabbed Meng Meijing, who was still jumping, by the waist with her left hand and forcefully pulled Meng Meijing towards her.

At the same time, her body cooperated with the demon soul's self-preservation instinct and quickly flashed to the other side.

The two sisters and the drunkard passed each other almost tightly together.

After successfully avoiding the attack, the drunk man seemed to be somewhat sober. He turned a corner, turned back, and bumped into the two sisters again with his teeth bared.

Meng Shisan frowned. She now understood clearly that this drunkard was not a real drunk. He just reeked of alcohol and was pretending to be drunk in order to do something wrong.

Without thinking any more, she reached for the black jade belt with her right hand and took out the silver vine whip hidden in the wide belt. Before the drunk got close to them, she swung it out and hit the drunk with a snap.

"Ah——" the drunk man screamed, and glanced at the torn clothes on his chest and the bloody marks on his skin and flesh. He stepped back in horror and dared not rush forward again.

Meng Meijing had recovered by now: "Who are you? Why do you keep bumping into us!"

Meng Shisan asked directly: "Who ordered you to do this?"

The drunk saw that the two sisters had discovered his intention. Meng Shisan had a long soft whip in his hand. One whip would leave a bloody mark on his body. Although he could still endure the pain, if he was whipped twice more, even if he took the reward money, it would not be enough to heal his wounds.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to withdraw.

Since the task cannot be completed, the reward money cannot be obtained.

The drunk began to back away.

"Do you think that if you don't say anything, nothing will happen?" As if he had seen through the drunk's plan, Meng Shisan pointed directly at the drunk's most important concern, his own life, "Since you came here to jeopardize me and my sister, you have no way back. If you retreat, you will only die faster."

"Don't scare me!" The drunk was caught in the trap, but he refused to accept it. "I didn't mean to offend you! Don't frame me!"

The area near the Imperial Street is an important place.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in this area is either powerful or a desperado.

As for the drunk in front of him, Meng Shisan looked at him and listened to him, but he didn't care about either of them: "Look behind you, and you will know if I scared you."

As soon as she said this, not only the drunk man turned around to look, but everyone present looked in the direction she was looking.

Seeing that it was the Imperial Guards, Meng Meijing said, "The Imperial Guards arrived quite quickly."

Meng Shisan hummed, and then saw Zeng Chongqi and Ding Lan'an. She said calmly, "Not only did they come quickly, but they also came at the right time."
