Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

"Boss lady, according to the laws of the Imperial State, you'd be serving three days in jail."

Zhang Dongyang's gaze fell on Ye Mo's most impressive feature, and a few flashes of fervor appeared in his eyes.

He had connections with high-ranking officials in the capital and often engaged in acts of bullying men and women.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a beautiful woman as Ye Mo. Her eyes were incredibly beautiful, containing both a seductive allure and the shy, budding charm of a young girl. Looking directly into them was captivating.

Of course, what he liked most was her full and firm breasts. He had been to Miaoyu Tower many times and had rich combat experience.

He would bet that this woman could give him more pleasure than any courtesan in the world; not only was she voluptuous, but her deep, beautiful soul was also of the highest quality.

Zhang Dongyang's filthy gaze finally drew a hint of displeasure from Ye Moyu's face, and her red lips spoke in a slightly cold voice: "Then I'll offer five hundred Star Origin Coins, how about that?"

Five hundred Star Origin Coins!

Standing to the side, Xiao Wu's expression immediately changed drastically, and his body stiffened.

Keep in mind that 500 Star Sources is more than half a year's income for the inn, and they just gave it away so casually.

Then all their hard work at the inn over the past six months has been wasted, hasn't it?

Although Xiao Wuxin thought about it, he didn't dare to step forward and say anything.

After all, Ye Mo, as the boss, had spoken. What else could he say?

I just feel sorry and sorry for Ye Mo. The inn was never intended to make a profit, or rather, the proprietress herself didn't want any income.

She initially started this inn for two reasons: first, to provide food for travelers who couldn't afford to eat, and second, to give people like Xiao Wu, who were poor and desperately needed work, a way to survive.

If five hundred Star Origin Coins are taken out at once, the inn's income and expenditure will definitely be unbalanced in the future, and the proprietress will have to rely on needlework to make up for the losses again.

"Five hundred Star Origin Coins?" Jiang Yueming muttered to himself as he chewed on a pastry while standing on the second floor.

In the memories of the previous incarnation, five hundred Star Origin Coins could only buy a wooden broom for the Jiang family.

However, if a single broom from the Jiang family is worth more than half a year's income for an inn, then the same applies to the world.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer; a single meal for a rich person can equal several years' income for a farmer.

"Damn, this world is so unfair! How the hell does this work?!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yueming felt a surge of inexplicable anger and couldn't help but utter a few words about traditional Chinese culture.

He took a few big bites of the pastry, a determined look in his eyes, and said, "Once I build the fourth one, I'll be rich too! I'll enjoy the extravagant lifestyle of the wealthy!"

In his previous life, he was actually just an ordinary person, a commoner exploited by life.

Since I have a special advantage in this life, I must climb to the top of this world and change my social class!

He wants everything he couldn't get in the original world!

Below, Zhang Dongyang shook his head upon hearing Ye Mo's terms, saying, "Five hundred Star Origin Coins is too low. How about we compensate with ten thousand Star Origin Coins?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Ye Mo's eyes, and her beautiful face darkened slightly: "Sir, it's not very nice of you to ask for such an exorbitant amount. Even if I sold my little inn, I couldn't come up with ten thousand Star Origin Coins."

Ten thousand Star Origin Coins are enough to buy a hundred inns like this one; Zhang Dongyang is clearly making things difficult for people on purpose.

But Ye Mo also knew that no matter what, she would be at a disadvantage. If she really reported it to the authorities, she would be the one at a disadvantage.

"What? Looks like the landlady doesn't agree?" Zhang Dongyang raised an eyebrow and said with a teasing smile.

He wanted to push Ye Mo to the brink of despair step by step, and then take her into his room for pleasure.

"Young Master Zhang Dongyang, what you're doing is illegal."

The scholar at the left-hand table in the inn slowly stood up to confront Zhang Dongyang directly, and said, "Under the laws of the Imperial State, what you're doing will land you in jail."

Zhang Dongyang was taken aback at first, then looked at the scholar and sneered, "I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be last year's poor, failed scholar."

The scholar's name was Zhao Lingjie. He was the only scholar in Zhao Family Village outside Pingjing City. He lost both his parents at a young age and was raised by the villagers.

Now, I want to pass the imperial examinations and enter the imperial court in order to serve my hometown and revitalize the countryside!

Unfortunately, I failed the exam last year. As a student who failed the exam, I couldn't escape the ridicule and mockery of the rich kids in the city.

Since those disciples didn't have to take exams, they lived a life ten thousand times better than these scholars, so when they had nothing to do, they naturally used the scholars for amusement.

"Yes, I did fail the exam, but my conscience is clear, and I will not bully the weak," Zhao Lingjie said in a deep voice, his face stiffening.

Zhang Dongyang's words clearly hit a nerve; failing the exam was not only sad for him, but also filled him with deep guilt.

He has let down the entire village who have nurtured him!

"This is interesting. Zhang Dongyang has powerful backers. Zhao Lingjie dares to confront him head-on, isn't he afraid of retaliation?"

"Well, no matter what, he had the guts, and I, Da Niu, admire him."

"What an idiot! Zhang Dongyang's uncle is a high-ranking official. Does Zhao Lingjie even want to take the imperial examinations anymore? He doesn't even understand this basic shrewdness!"

Hearing the whispers of the surrounding diners, Zhang Dongyang stared smugly at Zhao Lingjie and sneered, "Zhao Lingjie, did you hear that? Believe me, I can arrest all the men in your village and send them to the frontier with just one word!"

At this point, Zhao Lingjie's pupils contracted, his teeth clenched, and his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.

But he couldn't utter a single word; it didn't matter if he was insulted or killed.

But he had to consider the lives of everyone in the village!

After a long while, Zhao Lingjie bowed deeply to Ye Mo and said with deep sorrow, "Miss, I'm sorry."

He then silently walked back to the table and drank heavily in silence.

"It's alright, thank you for your kindness."

Looking into Zhao Lingjie's eyes as he drank heavily, Ye Mo felt a surge of gratitude.

Jiang Yueming took in the whole scene, her gaze suddenly falling on the bowl of noodle soup, a confident smile quietly curving her lips.

He understood the situation and knew how to break the deadlock.

As for the diners, they also witnessed a foolish overestimation of their own abilities.

The difference between having no background and having a background in this world is vividly demonstrated at this moment.

"Speak, what exactly do you want?" Ye Mo's voice was icy cold.

Upon hearing the beautiful woman speak, Zhang Dongyang made no attempt to conceal his intentions, smiling as he said, "I don't mean anything by it, I just wanted to invite you to my home for a visit, what do you think?"

Ye Mo resolutely refused his request, sneering, "If I say no, will you immediately report me to the authorities and have me arrested?"

"Arrest? Not really. If you say no, then I'll have to ask my uncle, Commander Li, to invite you in for a visit."

Zhang Dongyang squinted, pondering how to spend the night with Ye Mo.

He was certain that under such oppressive power, Ye Mo would obediently submit to him.

Ye Mo knew Zhang Dongyang's plan, but her beautiful face showed no fear. She simply asked indifferently, "Is your uncle, Li Chengwei, a very high-ranking official?"

"Not much, but enough to catch you, and even if we can't catch you..."

Zhang Dongyang suddenly glanced at the inn and said with a deep laugh, "This inn no longer needs to exist!"

"You dare!" Ye Mo's bright eyes turned cold instantly, and she shouted sternly.

Zhang Dongyang had indeed grasped her lifeline, but at the same time, he had touched her sore spot.

This inn absolutely cannot be allowed to have any problems. If something happens, Xiao Wu and the others will lose their jobs, and then what will happen to their families?

Therefore, she was determined to protect the inn!

"Alright, send someone to the city and fetch my uncle!"

Looking at Ye Mo's expression, Zhang Dongyang knew her attitude was clear, so he didn't waste any words and directly ordered his entourage to follow.

He wanted to see if Ye Mo, a mere commoner, could possibly fight against an official.
