Chapter 124 Little girl, what are you going to do?
"What medicine?" The shopkeeper raised his hand, signaling the staff to calm down, and asked in a cold voice, "What medicine?"
Li Mumu still smiled innocently, "It's just that I took a drug that makes me sleep. That's what it says in the picture book."
The shopkeeper's expression became a little more nervous. He naturally would not think about what the little girl in front of him was thinking. Could it be that the adults noticed it?
A group of corrupt officials are surprisingly careful.
Li Mumu pretended not to notice these people's eagerness to try. She even saw the kitchen knife behind one of them. These people's acting skills were not good enough and they needed to practice more.
"Sketchbook... Hehe, have your family members eaten yet?"
Li Mumu knew he wanted to find out if his family had consumed the drugged water. "Yes, they did. A lot."
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that these people would be fast asleep in less than two quarters of an hour. Then he could rob their belongings and then someone else would leave.
They were all exiles and could not stay, so they had to keep moving forward. Once they left, he would bring his people back to do business and wait for the next corrupt official to be exiled here.
If you meet ordinary people, you will naturally do business as you should.
Those who were exiled here must be extremely bad officials. Wasn't any of the previous ones like this?
“What a strong medicinal smell!”
The shopkeeper came back to his senses after hearing Li Mumu's childish voice. His heart was lifted again. "What did you say?"
Li Mumu repeated, "What a strong smell of medicine."
"Where...where is the medicine?" a burly man said in an unnatural voice.
Li Mumu recognized him as the chef of this inn, and the Li family’s meals were prepared by them.
She sniffed hard, and everyone in the inn followed suit.
"No!"
"I didn't smell it either."
Showcase also looked at Li Mumu with a confused expression, "Little girl, what's that smell of medicine? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Mumu tilted her head, "It's in the air, hehe, it's the kind of medicine that makes you sleepy when you smell it..."
"Impossible, the medicine is in the drinking water..." The cook had just finished speaking when the shopkeeper slapped him on the back of the head and called him an idiot.
Li Mumu pretended to be surprised and looked at everyone.
The shopkeeper frowned, probably still upset about finding such a stupid teammate. "Since I told you to listen, it doesn't matter. Your master is almost asleep by now anyway."
"Then uncle, are you going to kill people to silence them now?"
Li Mumu thought she might as well give him a chance.
The shopkeeper sneered, "We only want property, not life. Killing you would be too easy for you. We should let you experience the suffering of the common people who have to endure hunger. Besides, you are just a little girl and can't cause any trouble."
Li Mumu breathed a sigh of relief. This way, she wouldn't have to kill anyone. "Then why did you guys steal our things?"
"Because your family is a corrupt official, the things you brought are ill-gotten gains."
Li Mumu thought that these people should be similar to those described in the novel. "But my family is not like that. My grandfather and my uncles are all great generals who protect our country..."
"Nonsense! Why were they exiled here? They must have embezzled military funds. The soldiers are starving. Even after defeating Zhang, the common people are the ones who suffer. You are even worse than those corrupt officials."
Li Mumu looked at the few people who hated evil and said with a smile, "That's not the case. They were implicated by my father."
"Then your father must be a bad guy." said the shopkeeper.
Just when he thought Li Mumu would refute, he unexpectedly nodded.
"That's right, my dad is a bad guy, he is really bad."
"This..." The shopkeeper was speechless.
"Uncle, you may not know this, but my father has hundreds of taels of silver notes hidden on him."
The tall clerk was surprised and delighted. "What? There are still banknotes?"
Li Mumu nodded. It was hidden in the lining of his clothes. "You must search it later. Don't leave him a single cent."
"Little girl, I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who would sacrifice your own family for the sake of justice. Do you want to stay in the inn and work with us?" another waiter said jokingly.
The shopkeeper glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Boss, tease her for fun."
The shopkeeper turned around and continued to look at Li Mumu, who made him feel that something was wrong. "Okay, but I want to buy shares?"
"Invest in shares?" The shopkeeper didn't understand what she meant.
Li Mumu gestured to the shopkeeper to try the spicy hot pot, "Uncle, try it, it's not drugged."
Seeing that he was cautious and didn't eat, Li Mumu picked up some potato chips and put them into her mouth, eating them with relish.
"Boss, how about I try it?" The cook couldn't help himself.
The shopkeeper didn't say anything. After all, if he fainted when he was about to leave, they would be left without a backbone.
"It's delicious, so delicious. How was this dish made?" The chef danced with excitement.
It was really jumping, Li Mumu felt the wooden boards under her feet were shaking.
"My second aunt can also cook many delicious and novel dishes." Li Mumu said with a smile: "Uncle, with my second aunt's cooking skills, this store can make a lot of money."
The shopkeeper took a deep breath. He wanted to rob them of their money, but she said she wanted to help him make money.
What's this routine?
"Little girl, what on earth are you doing?" the shopkeeper asked fiercely with a cold face.
Li Mumu was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled and snapped her fingers.
When everyone was wondering what she was doing, one of the guys suddenly closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
Then, there was another snap of the fingers, and another guy fell to the ground.
The rest of the people were already panicking. Just when Li Mumu was about to snap her fingers for the third time, she shouted, "Stop! Who are you?"
Li Mumu smiled and said, "He's a wanted criminal of the imperial court, but uncle and I are really not bad people."
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Li Mumu said: "I want to cooperate with you!"
After seeing Li Mumu's skills, the shopkeeper knew that he was not as skilled as her. "I think your family members are fine. You can kill them or chop them up as you wish. I, Peng Wanli, will not hesitate."
Li Mumu smiled and emphasized again, "Murder is against the law. I've already said it, we just want to cooperate with you, uncle."
"What to cooperate on"
Li Mumu pursed her lips and said, "You robbed my father's house."
"This...did I hear it right?" Peng Wanli couldn't understand what she said.
"No, and then he robbed my grandfather's things."
"Then... then why did you go to so much trouble?" The cook stamped his feet anxiously.
Li Mumu smiled, "Didn't I tell you? I want to invest in this shop."
Peng Wanli took a deep breath. The chef looked silly, but the food he cooked was delicious. He praised his cooking skills so much, so he must be very talented.
But he still couldn't figure it out.
