Those who were closer heard Lin Chang'an's words and walked over to the black chicken.
He grabbed the black chicken from the ground and examined it.
When the vendor saw someone taking the black chicken, he shouted anxiously.
What are you doing?
"This black chicken is ours, why should we take it?"
The man holding the black chicken was no pushover either.
When he saw that there were actually tiny silver needles in the chicken's beak, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"That child was right after all, there really are silver needles?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, people gathered around, vying to get close to the man in black to find out what was going on.
He angrily slammed the black chicken to the ground.
With a loud bang, the vendor owner was quite startled.
"Okay, so I was wondering how my chickens, which I raised to be so fat and trained for so long, could have been pecked to death by your chickens."
"So you resorted to such despicable means?"
Give me back my silver!
The man in black angrily stretched out his hand and demanded that they return the money.
The stall owner was terrified by the sight of this force.
She whispered in the vendor's ear, "Husband, what should we do?"
"What do you mean, 'what to do'?" he roared. "Nonsense!"
"Alright, alright, we're not doing business today, everyone get out of the way!"
With that, he turned around to collect the other things.
He had just picked up a basket when his wrist was grabbed, causing him to tremble in pain and drop the basket to the ground.
Mo Qing's eyes widened slightly. "Doing business is all about integrity. You not only oppress the people, but you also cheat. Now that you've lost, you won't admit it!"
"Any one of these is enough to send you to jail!"
Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—though merchants came last.
However, the Holy Kingdom has always valued integrity and has extremely strict requirements for merchants.
The Regent has always despised dishonest people. Over the years, the Holy Kingdom's economy has been among the best in the five kingdoms, all thanks to the Regent's efforts.
"Mo Qing, take him back!"
His cold voice carried a ruthless killing intent.
Even the ordinary people present were terrified.
Such ruthless decisiveness and utter disregard for sentimentality can only be demonstrated by one person in the Holy Kingdom: the Regent, the most beloved younger brother of the current Holy Emperor!
It is said that when the Regent was still unmarried, the Holy Emperor was even more anxious than the Empress Dowager and the Retired Emperor, and made many arrangements for him, but was ultimately rejected without mercy.
"Yes, Regent!"
The vendors were completely terrified.
He knelt down with a thud.
"The Regent?"
This man was dressed in casual clothes, but his brown eyes were filled with cold killing intent. Even in ordinary clothes, his noble status could not conceal his imposing presence.
"You really...are..."
"Regent...Regent?"
Yao Qianshu immediately jumped out, pointed at the vendors on the ground, and said, "Are you scared now?"
"Quickly return the silver to Chang'an!"
“You cheated him out of 120 taels of silver. He won today. The silver you just put in your pocket was also his.”
"Take it out."
Lin Wanwan licked the milk bottle and then bit the teething stick.
"Pot~ Dad~"
"Hit!"
She stretched out her little fist and punched the vendor.
Upon hearing Lin Wanwan's words, the Regent felt a strange sense of accomplishment, as if he had been praised.
A barely perceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.
He then said, "Mo Qing, if he doesn't give us the money, chop off his hands, then kill him and throw him into a mass grave to feed the dogs!"
Mo Qing was utterly astonished.
Your Highness, are you openly protecting your son outside?
This crime of deception, at most, will only result in a jail sentence...
"Yes, Your Highness," he replied in a loud voice.
The female vendor standing nearby was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt down.
"Regent, spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, I did not do it on purpose. I will return the money I owe you."
"My husband left them at home. May I go and get them?"
Lin Chang'an didn't believe her.
Those two are cunning and shrewd; he was tricked by the proprietress back then.
He said arrogantly, "I don't believe you for a second!"
"Where is it? I'll send someone to get it!"
Upon hearing this, the stall owner's wife exchanged a glance with the stall owner and could only helplessly pound her head in frustration.
"It's at the very end of Gufang Road, at the entrance of the alley. There's a willow tree in front of the house, and a few chickens are kept in front of the willow tree. That's the place."
The Regent said coldly, "Mo Qing, go find him."
"yes."
The people nearby, hearing that the regent was punishing evil in the street, all clapped and cheered.
"Clap clap clap!"
"The Regent is mighty!"
Those who had been deceived before now realized they had fallen into their trap.
Enraged, they reached out and kicked them.
"I'll beat you to death! You dared to cheat me! You've swindled all my hard-earned money!"
"It's all your fault. You made me get beaten by my dad for days when I got back."
"Yeah, kill them."
Serves you right.
Oh, so this boss has a mistress.
[He lived right next door to them, served the wife, and then went to his mistress's house in the middle of the night~]
[Tsk tsk...]
[Even more audacious than my scumbag father...]
They brought it right to my doorstep.
The regent listened to that childish, innocent voice.
I was taken aback.
How does this little girl know these things?
She doesn't care about people who cheat and swindle, but she only cares about people who keep mistresses?
He opened his mouth twice but couldn't utter a single word.
Why does this second sentence sound like an insult?
