The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 166 Please eat melons and watch the show

A burly man with a face full of flesh rushed over with a dozen of his followers and pushed the people who were queuing to buy broken rice to the ground.

Some people wanted to get angry, but when they saw that it was the bully who had been paying protection fees on the streets for years, the people could only swallow their anger, get up, and limp to the side.

The burly man in the lead looked up at the brand new plaque and glanced at the gangster next to him.

The bastard immediately shouted towards the Sanqingling Rice Shop, "Who is the owner? Get out now."

"I'm the boss. Can you show me how to roll?"

"Show your mother..." When the gangster heard someone asked him to show him how to get out, he immediately got angry and started cursing.

However, when he turned around and saw that the person who asked him to demonstrate was actually a beauty, he immediately reached out to touch her face with a lustful look.

Although the people who were still waiting to buy rice were afraid of the gang of thugs, they were not afraid of Xie Lan being molested and were about to step forward to stop them.

The young man who had kowtowed to Xie Lan just now rushed forward and stood in front of Xie Lan.

"Whoever dares to ruin my good deeds, get out of the way."

Seeing that the gangster was about to kick the young man, Xie Lan quickly pulled him away, then spun around to the gangster's back and kicked him in the butt.

With a thud, the gangster fell flat on his face.

Xie Lan still felt that it was not enough, so he raised his hand, pinched a talisman and threw it at the gangster, "Aren't you going to get out of here? Hurry up and don't block the road."

Although Xie Lan was beautiful, the gangster was also angry when she kicked him down in front of so many people.

Just as he was about to get up to teach her a lesson, he suddenly discovered with horror that his hands and feet were no longer under his control.

Not only did he fail to get up, but he curled up into a ball with his hands around his feet and rolled from the entrance of the Sanqingling Rice Shop to the side of the road.

The onlookers burst into laughter when they saw that the gangster actually rolled over.

"Black Mule, are you fucking crazy? Stop it now."

The burly man in the lead didn't understand any mysterious arts, so he didn't notice what Xie Lan had done and thought that his subordinate was bewitched by Xie Lan's beauty.

How could he know that it was not that the black mule did not want to stop, but that his body was completely out of control and he could not even make a sound.

I could only roll forward uncontrollably while desperately shouting for help in my heart.

Zhang Feiba saw that he had been shouting for a long time but the black mule not only did not stop, but rolled farther and farther away. He was so angry that he yelled at the thugs around him.

"What are you standing there for? Go and stop the black mule."

"Yes, Brother Ba, let's go stop the black mule right now." Five or six gangsters nodded and bowed in response, then turned around and chased after the black mule that was rolling away.

I thought that with so many people taking action, it would be easy to stop the Black Mule.

Unexpectedly, those people tried their best, but not only failed to stop the mule, but were knocked to all directions by the black mule.

Seeing that the black mule did not stop after knocking down several thugs and continued to roll forward, and even did not stop after being hit on the head by the sharp stones on the ground and bleeding, Zhang Feiba finally realized that something was wrong.

"Did you do anything to make the black mule run away?"

Xie Lan did not deny it and nodded openly, "Yes, it was indeed me who told him to get out."

Zhang Feiba narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "I underestimated you."

He originally wanted to get angry, but it was the first time that Zhang Feiba saw such a beautiful girl, and he felt itchy and planned to collect the protection fee and then find a way to get her.

"Since you are a girl, I won't bother with you about this matter."

Just as he was about to turn around and go into the store, Xie Lan stepped forward to block his way, "You don't care, but I do."

Zhang Feiba has been bullying this street for many years, and this is the first time someone dares to block his way. His face fell, "What do you mean, young lady?" Others are afraid of this bully, but Xie Lan is not afraid at all, "Shouldn't I ask you this?"

Although Zhang Feiba was unhappy, he still suppressed his anger because she was beautiful. "This is none of your business."

"But you came to make trouble in my store."

Zhang Feiba was stunned. He was busy checking the situation in the store and did not hear Xie Lan say that she was the boss.

"Is this your store? Are you the owner of this Sanqingling Rice Store?"

"Replace it if it's fake!"

Zhang Feiba looked at her suspiciously, but when he saw that she didn't look joking, he believed it.

"Since you are the boss, please pay this month's money."

Xie Lan guessed that this group of people came to collect protection money, but she just pretended not to know, "What money?"

“The girl is new here, so it’s not surprising that she doesn’t know.

This Zhengfu Street is under the management of me, Zhang Feiba. All shops on the street must pay eighty taels of management fee every month."

Xie Lan glanced at him from head to toe and said in a cold voice, "Forgive my ignorance, but which military commander are you in charge of? Or did you receive an imperial decree to collect this management fee?"

Zhang Feiba simply relied on the fact that his sister was married to the Dali Temple Secretary as a concubine, and that's how he gathered a group of thugs and collected protection fees under the guise of management.

How could he be a commander's man, let alone someone who was ordered to collect protection money?

“Although I am not from the Five Cities Military Department, this Zhengfu Street has always been managed by me, so naturally I am the one who collects the fees.

This is the rule, and everyone on this street knows it. If you don’t believe it, you can ask the shopkeeper or clerk of another shop to find out whether it is true or not.”

Xie Lan sneered, "Since you are not from the Five Cities Army and you don't have an imperial edict, why should I pay you that shitty management fee?
What is rule or not is decided by me, Xie Lan, not by a hooligans like you."

Zhang Feiba felt embarrassed after being contradicted by a girl again and again. "Girl, are you going to drink a forfeit for not accepting my toast?"

"I don't like drinking alcohol. I only like plain water."

Zhang Feiba's face turned completely cold, "In that case, smash this store for me!"

Although Xie Lan is beautiful, Zhang Feiba also has to collect the protection fee, otherwise how can he survive on this street in the public eye?

Seeing a group of thugs rushing towards the store, Tiechui, who had been waiting impatiently, finally got Xie Lan's permission to take action.

He immediately jumped up and beat a group of thugs until they cried for their parents.

When Zhang Feiba saw this, he became even more angry. He brought so many people here, but they couldn't even beat a woman. It was a great shame and humiliation.

"They are all good-for-nothings. They are useless at the critical moment. I still have to take action."

Zhang Feiba scolded his thugs, pulled out a machete, turned around and rushed towards Tiechui.

Tiechui kicked Zhang Feiba away.

Seeing that he was still struggling to get up, he immediately drew out his sword and walked towards him step by step.

Xie Lan saw that Tiechui was about to kill, and quickly raised his hand to stop him, "The store is open today, so we shouldn't see blood."

Tiechui frowned, "Girl, are you just going to let them go like this?"

How could Xie Lan let go of such a group of thugs?

Seeing the customers rushing to buy things in the store and the onlookers looking at the hooligans anxiously, Xie Lan smiled and waved at everyone, "Today is the opening of our store. I'm here to treat everyone to a good meal and a good show."
