No taboos

Chapter 181: Distant Relatives

Before the fire master even entered the main hall, he cursed, "Qiao Er, if you've lost your mind and are trying to deceive everyone, I'll beat the shit out of you!"

After cursing, he took a step into the main hall and suddenly froze.

Everyone behind him also saw clearly what was happening in the main hall.

The chaotic noise disappeared in an instant, and everyone looked at the two crafts that had finally returned to normal, their eyes moistened - it must be because the wind in the main hall was too strong and it blinded my eyes.

The two ancestors finally stopped going crazy!
We are saved.

The fire master grabbed Qiao Er, the shop assistant, and said, "Go find someone who needs medicine right now!"

Qiao Er was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Where can I find someone to ask for medicine in such a short time?
Qiao Er suddenly looked at Lang Xiaoba and said, "Captain Lang, could you give me some medicine to try?"

"What are you talking about!" Lang Xiaoba got angry. Are you cursing me for being sick, or cursing my family for being sick?
Qiao Er apologized repeatedly and walked out with a sad face. Soon, he pulled a familiar clerk over from the shop next door.

"Help me, just ask for some medicine."

There happened to be a sick person at the man's home, so he knelt down in front of Liang Xin Cheng and said, "My third aunt's mother-in-law, my fourth cousin's mother-in-law, has been ill for seven or eight days. I want to ask for some medicine for her."

Then he took out ten copper coins from his pocket and placed them on the scale.

After hesitating for a moment, he added two more.

There can’t be any more!

In the past, people from the Sanniang Society would throw out such people who came to ask for medicine without even having to pay with two crafts.

If everyone were like you, would we, Sanniang, be left with nothing?
When his son was sick, he went to a distant relative to ask for medicine, which originally cost hundreds of taels of silver, but now he could get it with just a dozen cents.

But this time, no one from the Sanniang Society moved, staring at the two artifacts.

Liang Xincheng hesitated for a moment.

In the past, it would have smeared all twelve copper coins on the scale onto the man's face!
Then he hit him hard with the scale rod.

Are you here to entertain your Master?
But today is different.

That person is watching from the side.

We must maintain the image of being a hard-working person.

The scale pan sank, and two copper coins flew out and were returned to the owner.

Your relative is worth only ten cents in your heart at most.

The extra two cents are the face you give to Qiao Er.

The drawer of the Medicinal Cabinet opened with a clang. Qiao Er hurried to check and found a pill inside. He took it out and handed it to the owner, saying sincerely, "Thank you!"

Sanniang would cheer up: "It's done, the craftsmanship is really done!"

The fire master was very excited: "Hurry up, hang up the sign, our Huode Jishitang is reopened!"

At this time, everyone noticed that Xu Yuan was standing aside with a group of people from the Extermination of Filth Division.

The Great Fire Master then bowed and said, "My Lords, it is unfortunate that we are unable to greet you today. If you have any questions, please come back another day."

Qiao Er, show him away! "

Qiao Er gestured toward the door, a smile plastered on his face. "Sorry, sorry, I'll escort you all out."

Xu Yuan remained calm, nodded, and walked out of Huode Jishidi Hall.

Xu Yuan had just gone out, and Lang Xiaoba and the others were still in the main hall behind him, when they heard a series of clanging and banging sounds behind them.

The Fire Master, Wei Yunhua, and the others howled in surprise, "Hey, hey, hey, why is the fire starting again..."

Lang Xiaobay turned around and immediately smiled.

I saw the scale bar chasing and whipping the fire master.

The Fire Master didn't dare to resist and fled with his hands covering his head.

But the beating from the scale bar was very tricky, and soon redness and swelling appeared on the back of his hands, arms, and face.

Xu Yuan turned around and stood outside the door, watching with a faint smile on his face.

Chenggan beat the chief fire master and then went to chase and beat the other fire masters.

The first to bear the brunt of the attack was Wei Yunhua. Even worse off than the Fire Master, she copied the Fire Master's actions by holding her head with both hands, only to have the scale bar hit her legs.

Wei Yunhua was immediately beaten to the point of limping...

"What's going on?" The Fire Master cried to the sky.

Qiao Er was standing at the door, he was seeing off the adults from the Extermination of Filth Department.

Suddenly, he shuddered all over and thought: These two ancestors started making trouble when the people from the Extermination of Filth Department came last time.

They came again today, and the two ancestors stopped making trouble and went back to work.

As a result, the fire master drove them away, and the two ancestors started making trouble again...

Qiao Er tentatively called out to the two artifacts, "Stop fighting! I'll bring the masters back right away."

As soon as he said this, the beam of the scale hung in the air motionless.

Wei Yunhua had fallen to the ground under the scale beam, with a long red mark on his face and his entire face swollen.

Qiao Er was also dumbfounded: Is it really because of these people from the Quhuisi?

The fire master was also confused: What does it mean?
Qiao Er quickly bowed to Xu Yuan and said, "Sir, please come in."

Xu Yuan smiled and left!

Fu Jingyu and others followed him out of Huode Jishiditang.

Lang Xiaoba was the last one, sneering at the bewildered Sanniang Society members in the room, "You leave when you're told to, come when you're told to? How dare you, huh!"

Everyone in the Department of Extermination of Filth walked away proudly. This time, even the Cabinet of Hundred Diseases couldn't stand it anymore. The drawers were opened with a bang, and everyone in the main hall, including the Chief Fire Master and Wei Yunhua, were all put in!

The scale rod plunged into the ground with an angry hiss.

The bustling Huode Jishidi Hall suddenly became dead silent.

...After a while, a head suddenly popped out of the door.

I peeked inside and saw that the main door was open and there was no one inside.

This is a good opportunity to use your stealing skills!
Huode Jishiditang is very profitable, and there must be a lot of silver in the counter.

He came in on tiptoe and was touching the counter when suddenly there was a rustling sound and a drawer of the general medical cabinet opened.

"Eh--"

The thief only shouted once before he was sucked into the drawer by an irresistible and terrible force.

Boom!

The drawer was closed again, and peace returned to Huode Jishidi Hall.

……

A full hour later, the Fire Masters and their men were finally released.

Everyone's eyes were dull.

It took a while before someone's eyes moved and he slowly regained some energy.

The fire master frowned and called out to several people: "Qiao Er, Wei Yunhua, Tao Yu, Zheng Linchuan, follow me."

"Everyone else, clean up and close the door."

After the fire master and his companions left, the remaining congregants were packing up their things when they suddenly noticed: there was a stranger among us!

"Huh?" Everyone gathered in a circle, blocking the guy in the middle.

The thief shuddered and squatted down silently, holding his head.

Everyone was beaten up by the two craftsmen and was full of anger, so this was a perfect opportunity to vent their anger!
At once, all the punches and kicks were thrown towards the center of the circle.

The unlucky thief: “Ah——”

……

The fire master took his men to the back hall, to his own room.

"Qiao Er, tell me, what exactly is going on?"
