Summer Rice Flower Road:
"It's broad daylight, in plain sight, with so many people watching!
"Were these the people who overturned the table just now? Were these the people who broke the dishes? Is there anything wrong with asking them to pay for it?"
The waiter was speechless and choked. He obediently squatted down and touched the big man's clothes. He actually took out a large silver ingot:
"These are enough, but it seems a little too much..."
Xia Daohua said, "The extra is for your lady boss and you guys to calm down. If there's any left, you can share it with all the frightened guests today."
The onlookers cheered loudly - they just wanted to watch the fun, watch a fight, and they could get paid for it?
The waiter didn't dare to make a decision on his own, and hurriedly reported to the shopkeeper behind him. The shopkeeper's smile was a bit stiff - who knows where these guys come from!
It’s not certain whether I can afford to offend him!
But this young man who brought his girl to dinner clearly didn't intend to pay for it...
As if seeing the embarrassment on the boss's face, the "young master" smiled kindly:
"Boss, don't worry. They broke your store's things in broad daylight. No matter who they are, they should compensate your store."
After saying this, Xia Daohua walked out holding the hand of Linghua, who looked aggrieved and sad, while coaxing the child as if no one was around: "Good girl, don't cry, you'll turn into a harlequin cat if you cry any more! Let's go to another restaurant and continue eating, okay!"
The officer holding the chains felt the veins on his forehead throbbing as he watched this scene.
This was the first time they had met someone who looked down on them.
But why does this young master look so kind?
Could it be that he has some important background?
The weird-looking stick in his hand has such amazing lethality!
The police officers, mingling in the marketplace, naturally had their own way of survival. They had their own set of criteria for judging who they could and could not offend.
Xia Daohua has a kind face and a sweet smile. She has a little girl with her and takes good care of her. It is obvious that she is from a good family.
Compared to those burly men of unknown origin, such people should obviously be easier to bully.
The problem was, those big men had already collapsed and hadn't woken up yet. Especially the one who led the fight, he was already foaming at the mouth...
This suddenly made the officers' judgment criteria seem less reliable.
Seeing that no one stopped her, Xia Daohua smiled and took Linghua's hand, walking away slowly.
Everyone watched them leave Jingweiju, and after walking a few steps, they stepped into another restaurant called "Yanzilou".
But just looking at the decoration, you can tell that the cost of living in Yanzilou is even higher than that of Jingweiju.
Xia Daohua took Linghua to the private room on the second floor. This time she planned to have a good and quiet meal there, and also to comfort the frightened Linghua.
When the officers saw the two men actually went into someone else's house to continue eating and drinking, they immediately regretted letting the fat sheep escape. However, looking at the big man still unconscious on the ground, they still didn't dare to act rashly.
In the end, the officers only gave the shopkeeper a lecture and extorted a bag of copper coins.
Then he asked for some cold water and poured it on the unconscious men lying on the ground to wake them up.
Unexpectedly, when those big men saw Xia Daohua disappear and only a few arrogant servants were left in front of them, their faces suddenly turned purple.
Seeing that everyone in his group was covered in dust and dirt, he had undoubtedly lost face in front of others. He could not help but get so angry that he turned around and beat up the officers.
The shopkeeper tried hard to suppress his laughter while shouting from afar: "Stop it! Stop it! If you keep hitting, someone will die!"
But he just sang from a distance and didn't dare to come forward.
After the officers were beaten black and blue, the men walked away.
The angry and humiliated officers once again took out their anger, which had nowhere to vent, on the shopkeeper who was hiding behind the counter and laughing.
The shopkeeper knew that he was being taken out on, but he dared not say anything. He could only put on a smile for a long time and said a lot of nice things.
In the end, he took out another bag of copper coins and respectfully sent these troublesome plague gods away.
Xia Daohua took Linghua to eat the signature dishes of Yanzilou, plus a few snacks that Linghua had never eaten before. She made the little girl laugh through her tears, and she became bright and sunny again, and then she let out a sigh of relief.
It was unclear what faction the group that had attempted to kidnap her and Linghua belonged to. They were probably merchants in the grain trade, I suppose.
After all, she sold a large amount of grain to Wang, blocking other people's financial resources.
Wang was a decisive person. After the grain was handed over, she organized many gentry and common people, and under the supervision of her own servants, began to distribute rice to the refugees.
This kind of thing cannot be concealed even if one wants to.
What's more, neither Xia Daohua nor Wang felt the need to hide anything.
So, almost everyone knew what they should and shouldn't know. Wang bought grain from Xia Daohua, and Xia Daohua purchased grain from Kyoto.
Xia Daohua’s “backer” in Kyoto gradually surfaced.
This girl seemed helpless at first glance, but in fact, she had someone behind her...
Therefore, although most people were angry, they had no intention of doing anything. But people are all different. Among the grain merchants, there were some who were smart and capable, while others were rude and incompetent.
