The shopkeeper looked at Ye Xiaoxiao and for some reason, he always felt like he was being seen through.
In fact, Ye Xiaoxiao was also using mind reading to listen to the shopkeeper's inner thoughts.
"My dear guest, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and then smiled faintly.
"Boss, I don't understand. You're obviously the most powerful person in West City, so why do you let a fat guy bully you?"
Through observation during this period, Ye Xiaoxiao has discovered that Li Mo is just a nominal city defender.
And this shopkeeper is the person who has the closest connection with the entire West City and everyone in the capital.
Hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's question, the shopkeeper was suddenly shocked.
[How did this woman know my identity? Did Lord Li leak some information?]
[No, she's a woman, there's no way she could see my hidden identity, unless...]
[I know, she must be trying to trick me. What a sinister and cunning woman.]
When the shopkeeper thought about this, he immediately gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.
"What are you talking about, young lady? I'm just an innkeeper, how can I possibly compare to the mayor of a city?"
"Yes, I admit that I have been working for the Lord City Lord all this time, but I just wanted to curry favor with him."
Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips. Since she had already learned the information she wanted to know, she was too lazy to ask any more questions.
"Wang Xiao, take good care of this shopkeeper. If he doesn't obey, punish him severely, regardless of life or death."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was a little scared and started shouting immediately.
"You are lynching people. Do you still respect the law?"
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Shangguan Lingyun, and the smile on her face made the shopkeeper feel even more terrified.
"Wang Fa? You actually mentioned Wang Fa to us. Do you know who he is?"
The shopkeeper looked at Shangguan Lingyun again. Although Shangguan Lingyun looked extraordinary, he was not like an ordinary young man.
But no matter how he guessed, he didn't dare to think about the current emperor.
After thinking about it, he quickly came to a conclusion.
"Even if you are the uncle of the current emperor, you cannot disregard the law and arbitrarily carry out lynching."
"I'm telling you, if you really attack me, I'll go to the capital and file a complaint with the emperor even if I lose everything I own."
The shopkeeper originally wanted to scare Ye Xiaoxiao and the others, but who knew that he would hit a wall without realizing it.
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Ye Xiaoxiao burst into laughter.
"You're blind, you want to sue me, right? Fine, then I'll give you a chance."
"Wang Xiao, go and serve our shopkeeper well."
Although the shopkeeper was unwilling, he was no match for Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao dragged him away in a few seconds, and soon, screams were heard.
Shangguan Lingyun hugged Ye Xiaoxiao in his arms and coaxed her softly.
"Why waste your time on him? He's just a small fry anyway. We can deal with him when Commander Zhou comes back."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded and glanced at Shangguan Lingyun who was sticking close to her. She immediately spoke out to stop his next move.
"I have something serious to tell you."
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips, hugged the person and went back to their room.
"Your husband also has something important to tell you."
"Shangguan Lingyun, I really have something urgent to say. Please let me go first."
Ye Xiaoxiao spoke anxiously. Shangguan Lingyun did not let her go, but looked at her with a teasing look.
"Since you are in a hurry, then you can tell me first."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the well-behaved Shangguan Lingyun with confusion.
[Did I misunderstand him? Wasn't he going to do something with me?]
"Never mind, let's get down to business first. However, should I tell him about my mind-reading abilities?"
[If I tell him, he'll be wary of me. What if he thinks I'm a monster?]
[No, no, I can't tell him about the mind-reading ability yet. So I'll tell him about the news sent by the people from the Number One Village.]
[But we have always been together, is it too deliberate to say this? ]
Just when Ye Xiaoxiao was struggling to figure out who was behind this, Shangguan Lingyun spoke.
"Why don't you say anything? If you don't know how to say it, then I will say it first."
Ye Xiaoxiao was stunned, then nodded.
Let him speak first and see what he thinks.
Shangguan Lingyun saw this and said.
"Just now, on our way back, the secret guards sent us a message saying that they already knew who was behind this."
Ye Xiaoxiao was a little confused, "How come I don't know when the secret guards will arrive?"
"But that's not the point. Who is the person behind this?"
Shangguan Lingyun couldn't help laughing. "It's the Jingzhao Yin and the Dali Temple Minister."
"How did they find out? Did these two reveal something?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded. "A large number of counterfeit coins have appeared in the capital in recent days. Combined with the information sent by the Ye family and the No. 1 Manor in the World, it has been basically confirmed that these counterfeit coins all came from the Maoshan Gold Mine."
"And by taking stock of the shop's buyers, they've discovered that those who use counterfeit currency are all related to these two people."
"So, after we finish dealing with things here, we must go back to Beijing first."
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he stared at Ye Xiaoxiao with burning eyes.
With just one glance, Ye Xiaoxiao understood what he meant and smiled awkwardly.
"Since the herbs have been collected, I will naturally go back with you."
