The man who came to the rescue first comforted his father-in-law, who was lying on the ground, and then pointed at Yunling with an arrogant expression and cursed her as if she were some heinous criminal.

Yunling didn't have time to argue with them, and said directly:

"In that case, let's report it to the authorities."

"Report to the authorities? You have someone in your family who works as a yamen runner in the county government. It's pointless for us to go."

Yunling's right eyelid twitched suddenly, and she responded calmly:

"You know who I am, which is why you waited here to do this, hoping to extort money from me, isn't that right?"

All eyes immediately turned to this person, who glanced around and then shouted:

“I…I…I have seen you before. The day you and your aunt brought back the human traffickers, everyone in the city saw it. I know who you are, so what’s so strange about that?”

"I see. Then let me ask you, is the yamen runner more powerful or is Master Qin more powerful?"

"Of course, Master Qin is the most important."

"Since Master Qin is so powerful, what does my aunt have to do with this case, whether she is a yamen runner or not? Are you afraid that if you go to the county yamen, Master Qin will expose your true colors and give you thirty lashes?"

The man's expression clearly showed panic; his finger trembled slightly as he pointed at Yun Ling and denied it:

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Whether I'm lying or not, a trip to the county government will tell. If you ask me, next time you want to extort money from people, you'll have to put in more effort."

Yunling shook her head, clicked her tongue, and continued:

"If you want to create the appearance of a fall injury, you need to make marks on your legs and arms as well. Otherwise, the doctor will know you're just fooling people at a glance, without even taking your pulse."

"Secondly, if you want to extort money from me by saying that my carriage is fast, then that person should lie down about fifty to eighty meters away from my carriage, and should not cry out in pain, but should just open their eyes half-asleep, instead of walking over to sit down in front of my carriage. That would also be deceiving people."

Do you really think she's ignorant?

Yunling was a real person who had been hit by a car. Although it was a motorcycle, the other party was going too fast. Before she could even react, she was thrown more than 50 meters away in an arc.

She was completely dazed at the time, but she could open her eyes a crack. However, after the doctor pushed her into the emergency room, she had no memory of it at all and it took her more than three months to recover.

Seeing that most people present agreed with Yunling's statement, the man quickly changed his tune:

“Your father-in-law was standing here originally. He saw your carriage and was so frightened that he fell and injured his leg. You can’t leave here now. You can’t leave without paying fifty strings of cash.”

Oh, looks like they've changed tactics. They can't get away with wronging her, so they're trying to extort a lot of money from her. They're really treating her like a pushover.

Yunling responded without any politeness:

"If you're so easily frightened by my carriage, don't come out into the streets. Otherwise, you'll be scared by this and that, and your grave will be overgrown with weeds by next year, with every root whispering those three words: 'Damn it!'"

"According to the laws of the Great Dynasty, if a carriage is traveling normally on the road and a passerby deliberately fabricates a scene to extort money, the passerby is fully responsible. If the dispute becomes unresolved and delays the carriage owner's business, the passerby will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and fined one hundred strings of cash."

The man kept glancing into the distance, completely bewildered. He couldn't read a single word, so naturally he had no idea what kind of laws or regulations were involved. Just as he was hesitating, someone gave him a "heart stimulant."

"This law is real. Our dynasty's traffic laws have always been biased towards pedestrians. However, if pedestrians use this law as a shield to extort innocent car owners, they will also be punished. Even if you take this to Bianjing or Kaifeng Prefecture, it will be the same."

Xie Sinan had been enjoying his drinks at the tea stall next door, and he had witnessed the whole process firsthand. He was surprised to find people trying to scam him here, which was truly disheartening.

Upon hearing Xie Sinan's words, the people sitting at the tea stall, no longer remaining indifferent, began to speak up:

"The old man was just having tea in this seat when he heard that person call him. He didn't even finish his tea before walking outside and slowly lying down."

"Yes, I just heard that person say something like, 'Someone's here.'"

"This father-in-law is quite the old fox. He's done this countless times in Qingshui Lane. Every time, he takes advantage of his white hair to bully the young and shameless people."

"..."

These people, one by one, revealed the truth of the matter. Upon seeing this, the man and his father-in-law naturally lost face and could no longer stay. Fearing that Yunling would turn around and cause them trouble, they hurriedly stood up and ran away.

After watching the play, the crowd gradually dispersed.

"Yunling, I'm so glad to have met you."

"goodbye."

"Hey, hey, hey," Xie Sinan grabbed the deck with one hand, leaped up, and landed steadily next to Yun Ling. "Yun Ling, I just helped you, so you can't just throw me away after you're done with me."

"If you really wanted to help me, you would have spoken up when that person started cursing at me."

Shessnan laughed:

"I'm always looking forward to watching this show, and I believe you have the ability to handle this staged accident. Hey, you seem to remember our country's traffic laws quite well, and you can even incorporate other things into them. You're quite impressive."

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Xie Sinan turned slightly to the side, looking at Yun Ling with a hint of displeasure, and said:

"Are you still pretending now? This fashion show, with those bras, panties, menstrual pads, and cotton pads, isn't that just modern stuff?"

Yunling did not reply, but instead drove the carriage around a corner and into Pingli Lane.

Xie Sinan lowered his voice, turned slightly towards Yun Ling, and said softly:

"Don't be afraid. We're from the same place, so I won't hurt you. I just came to this godforsaken place all by myself and wanted to find someone I know to get closer to."

As he spoke, he leaned his head on Yunling's shoulder, but Yunling pushed him away. She couldn't sense any malice in Xie Sinan, but that didn't mean they were kindred spirits.

"You've stuck this to the wrong person. We're not from the same place."

"You still won't admit it? I already told you I wouldn't hurt you. If the people here find out about this, we'll definitely be burned as monsters. If I really wanted to hurt you, I would have made a fuss the moment you made those underwear."

Yunling's fingers tightened. She had considered this possibility. If she were truly mistaken for a monster, she would still have her supernatural abilities as a trump card.

“It’s not that I don’t acknowledge it, it’s just that I’m not from the same place as you.”
