"My betel nut."
Jin Yanzhi was so angry when someone knocked over his betel nuts. The thought that they cost over a hundred coins and that his sister-in-law had worked so hard to make them made him want to curse.
When Jin Yanzhi looked up and saw that the other person was dressed as a yamen runner, he instantly recalled the scene of being whipped by Scarface Zhang!
Jin Yanzhi's face turned pale, and he took several steps backward, not even daring to pick up the betel nuts that had fallen to the ground.
The head constable, Lü Baosheng, stretched out his hand at them and shouted angrily, "Show us your identification!"
As long as they dare not set up stalls anymore, they can get a tael of silver for free. This job is practically like picking up money.
Jin Yanzhi swallowed hard. The joy of making money just now vanished instantly, replaced by fear. He and his fellow prisoners were exiled criminals. If they were found out that they were out making money, wouldn't they be doomed?
"grown ups."
When Cheng Qiqi realized that the other party was a yamen runner and that he had ill intentions, her heart sank.
She stood up, grabbed the black tea-flavored betel nut next to her, and generously stuffed it into Jin Yanzhi's hand as if it were candy: "Yanzhi, why don't you hurry up and invite the adults to try our black tea-flavored betel nut?"
"Ah, oh."
Jin Yanzhi looked at the extra areca nuts in the basket. He wasn't stupid and immediately understood Cheng Qiqi's idea. He took the black tea flavored areca nuts and handed them over: "Sir, my sister-in-law made black tea flavored areca nuts. They taste delicious. Please try them."
As Jin Yanzhi delivered food to several yamen runners, he painfully counted the coins: five coins, ten coins, twenty coins...
Heartache!
Jin Yanzhi's heart ached terribly, but on her face, she still smiled like a flower.
It's unbearable to look at.
Cheng Qiqi silently turned her face away and stepped forward, saying, "Sir, we have only been in Lingnan for a short time, and this is our first day selling betel nuts. We are unaware of the rules, so please forgive us."
As Cheng Qiqi spoke, she took out a money pouch.
Jin Lizhi, who was stunned to the side, immediately understood. He took the money bag and quietly slipped it into Lü Baosheng's hand. Jin Lizhi had done this countless times on the way to exile, before the Marquis of Zhongyong woke up!
only……
This money bag is full of heavy copper coins, probably a hundred or two. So today's hard work is probably for nothing. I just don't know if these people can satisfy their appetites.
"Just arrived?"
The moment he got the money bag, Lü Baosheng knew it contained at least two hundred coins. He stuffed the heavy bag into his pocket and said in a deep voice, "Even newcomers need to show their identification."
Another one who takes money and does nothing?
Jin Lizhi was furious, but their status as prisoners meant they couldn't confront the officials directly. He was worried, but there was nothing he could do.
Jin Yanzhi clenched his fists tightly, enduring the pain he had learned from past mistakes.
"Sir, we are willing to pay money every month from now on." Cheng Qiqi thought to herself, "The world is bustling with activity, and everyone is after profit."
"Show me your identification!"
Lu Baosheng drew his knife without hesitation, showing no remorse for accepting a bribe. With a single stroke, he cleaved the table in two!
The remaining unfinished betel nuts were all scattered on the ground, and even the prepared clam shell paste fell to the ground and shattered.
"careful."
A deep voice sounded behind Cheng Qiqi. Jin Mozhi reached out, grabbed Cheng Qiqi's arm, and pulled her back, instantly protecting her behind him.
"If you can't produce identification, you're a lowly person, an unregistered resident, arrest them all."
Lu Baosheng spoke as if in anger, and with a gesture, the six constables behind him surrounded them in a fan shape.
"Sister-in-law, what should we do?"
Jin Yanzhi was in a panic. If he were still the second young master of the Marquis's mansion, this yamen runner wouldn't even be worthy of shining his shoes!
Now, all I can do is cower behind... Heitu.
"Sister-in-law, do you think I have some money here?"
Jin Lizhi was startled and whispered to Cheng Qiqi.
"No need."
Cheng Qiqi shook her head. This person was deliberately trying to cause trouble. She was anxious and hoped that there would be news from Chongshan soon!
Their status as exiled prisoners meant that, in severe cases, they were prohibited from engaging in business and earning money.
However, in places far from the emperor's reach, money can make the devil turn the millstone. As long as they pay protection money, they can set up stalls and do business here.
Cheng Qiqi's idea was good, but the only thing she didn't expect was that she would be harassed after only half a day of setting up her stall.
"He's just a constable. Did he even consult his superior? Does the inspector know how arrogant you are?"
Jin Mozhi looked coldly at the betel nuts scattered all over the ground, which Cheng Qiqi had been making since she got up early in the morning!
"Dare to talk back? Hit me!"
As he spoke, Lü Baosheng immediately directed his men to take action.
Six constables against three men?
That couldn't be simpler.
"If we can't beat them, let's run away." Cheng Qiqi stepped forward with a worried look on her face and whispered in Jin Mozhi's ear.
Jin Mozhi turned around, and her beautiful eyes seemed to see right through him, filled with worry. He smiled slightly: "Just them?"
Jin Mozhi's eyes were filled with mockery, as if he were mocking their overestimation of their abilities.
Wow, that's amazing?
Six against one?
Cheng Qiqi was puzzled for a moment, but when she saw the six constables surrounding her, she decisively found an opening and retreated.
"Sister-in-law, I'll protect you."
Jin Yanzhi stood protectively in front of Cheng Qiqi. Before leaving home, his father had instructed him to take good care of his sister-in-law, and to beat him up if she lost even a single hair!
He didn't even dare to think about it; if something happened to his sister-in-law, he was afraid he would be finished when he went back!
"Sister-in-law, I'll go help."
Jin Lizhi rolled up his sleeves, eager to help.
As soon as Jin Lizhi finished speaking, Heitu kicked each of the constables away!
So handsome.
Those amazing long legs!
Cheng Qiqi was stunned. When she encountered the bandits before, she was too flustered and only thought that Hei Tu's long legs were superior. Now that she was closer, she could feel the power in every punch and kick from Hei Tu!
The six constables were like useless pieces of crispy skin in front of him.
He was good at fighting and had a nice voice, but unfortunately... he was a eunuch.
Cheng Qiqi felt a pang of regret for a moment, then heard Lü Baosheng's furious voice rang out: "You dare to hit people from the yamen? I will arrest you all!"
After uttering those harsh words, Lü Baosheng turned and tried to run away.
Jin Mozhi leaped forward and kicked Lü Baosheng in the back.
Snapped.
Lu Baosheng fell to the ground, and the money bag in his arms also spilled out. The copper coins in the money bag hit the ground and rolled away, scattering in all directions.
"My money, my money!"
Lu Baosheng looked at the money scattered on the ground and scooped it into his pocket like a precious treasure.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
A strong voice rang out, and the onlookers who had just witnessed Heitu fighting seven opponents immediately turned to look at the voice.
