Chapter 614 I gave you face, didn't I?
Yes, she had forgotten that Chu Yun and Xiao Jin were connected.
Doesn't that mean Xiao Jin knew that she had arrived at Tiankui City so early?
Su Ying held her forehead with her hand as if she had a headache. How could she have forgotten about this?
Forget it, I'll just find an excuse to get away with it later.
"City Lord, after digging out those ores, what are your plans?"
"It depends on the quantity. If it's not a lot, you can keep it for yourself. If it's a lot, it's not a bad idea to sell some of it."
"yes."
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, so go back and rest. I won't leave for a short time, and I will take care of the things in the city."
When Chu Yun heard Su Ying say that she would not leave in the short term, he somehow felt extremely at ease, as if any problem could be solved as long as Su Ying was there.
"Thank you for your hard work, City Lord."
After Chu Yun left, Su Ying planned to go to the city to take a look. After returning to the city, she would take care of the mine matters. She didn't know how the people in the city were living now.
In order to get more realistic feedback, Su Ying changed her clothes before going out and did not let anyone follow her.
The palace is a certain distance away from the inner city where the people live, and there is a large martial arts training ground in between.
As soon as Su Ying walked to the martial arts training ground, she heard a series of trumpet calls that became louder and louder. It must be said that during the time she was away, the food for these young men had become better and better. They had all grown taller and stronger, and they were more vigorous during training.
Walk past the martial arts training ground and through two gates to reach the civilian area.
Chu Yun said that after they left, the Tiger Camp gradually accepted some new people, and those people also followed them to Tiankui City this time. Together with the people from the tribe, the popularity of the city is now much higher.
After entering through the gate, you can see a street not long after walking. There are shops open on both sides of the street. Maybe it is still early, so there are not many pedestrians on the street.
Su Ying strolled on the street, looking at the people busy with their work, feeling a peaceful atmosphere where people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
"Wontons, delicious and big meat wontons, ma'am, how about a bowl? I guarantee you'll feel warm after eating a bowl."
As Su Ying walked past the breakfast shop, she was greeted warmly by the owner.
Su Ying wasn't hungry, but she wanted to try it, "Okay, give me a bowl of meat wontons."
The shopkeeper smiled and asked her to sit in the inner hall. "Please wait a moment. I will serve you wontons."
"good."
While she was waiting, the store gave her a bowl of soy milk for free.
"This soy milk is freshly cooked. Please try it."
"Thank you very much."
Su Ying picked up the bowl, blew on it and took a big sip. It was really more comfortable to eat something hot in such a cold day.
"Sir, your wontons are ready. Please enjoy."
"good."
After delivering the wontons, the shopkeeper did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Madam, you look a little unfamiliar. Have you just arrived?"
Su Ying did not miss the shopkeeper's fleeting tentative look. This residential area was under the jurisdiction of Hu Wei. He said that he would place some spies among the people, and the owner of the breakfast shop might be one of them.
"Not really. It's just that I've always worked in the palace and rarely come to the streets." While saying this, Su Ying intentionally or unintentionally showed the palace badge on her waist, dispelling the shopkeeper's suspicion.
The shop owner realized that there was a misunderstanding and gave Su Ying another bun.
Su Ying suspected that he would lose money if he did business this way.
After eating, Su Ying put the copper coins on the table and was about to leave when she saw several people running out of an alley, chasing the man who was running in front.
"Meng Jiang, stop right there. I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
Those people gnashed their teeth and chased after Meng Jiang, kicking him in the lower back, then they pounced on him.
Meng Jiang was no pushover either. Although the other side had more people, he still gritted his teeth and fought back, and the other side was not in a good situation for a while.
The wonton shop owner hissed when he saw this and asked, "Why are these guys fighting?"
As they were talking, the boss rushed over to separate the fight.
"What are you doing so early in the morning? Do you still want to hang out in the city?"
This boss must be quite capable, because after he howled, those people really stopped.
Meng Jiang had bruises on his face, but his eyes were fierce and he wasn't afraid at all.
"What are you doing? When your boss Long opened the business, he promised that there would be no trouble. What's going on today?"
The people who were chasing him felt a little aggrieved after hearing this. "Ask him whether we were the ones causing trouble or this guy was looking for trouble. He relied on the fact that Mengzi had some friendship with the city lord to dare to set fire to our backyard. If we hadn't discovered it early, the building would have been burned down by him. Do you think he was looking for trouble?"
The shopkeeper didn't expect this to happen. He looked at Meng Jiang in surprise, "Is what they said true?"
Meng Jiang said in an evil voice: "That kind of filthy place should be burned down!"
When these words were spoken, those people became unhappy.
"Hey, little boy, I'm giving you face, right?"
"Our boss Long is doing serious business. We both agreed to this, so why should it bother you?"
The sneer on Meng Jiang's face became even more intense. "It was consensual. You kidnapped my wife yesterday. If she hadn't been smart enough to escape, who knows what would have happened now!"
The eyes of several thugs seemed a little uncertain, which Meng Jiang thought meant they were guilty, so he punched them.
The two sides started fighting again.
The shop owner saw that the situation was beyond his control, so he said a few words to his wife and quickly sent someone to help.
Su Ying returned to the table and sat down, ordering another big bowl of wontons.
The boss lady seemed a little absent-minded, so Su Ying took the opportunity to ask, "Boss lady, what's going on? Has this happened before?"
The proprietress came over with wontons and came back to her senses, "People always have friction with each other. There have been some minor conflicts before, but it has been a long time since they made trouble in the street like today. Madam, don't be afraid. Someone will come to take care of it soon and will not let them hurt others."
The proprietress was right. Someone came over before Su Ying finished her second bowl of wontons.
Su Ying recognized that these were all Hu Wei's former men in the Tiger Camp, and were now security personnel responsible for maintaining public order in the city.
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
Those people stepped forward and separated Meng Jiang from the other party.
"Don't scare passers-by, come back and talk to us!" The security personnel took them away without saying a word.
Su Ying thought about it, put in a few more copper coins, and followed them to the Stability Bureau.
Before she understood the full extent of the situation, she didn't want to show up for the time being. After arriving at the Security Bureau, she climbed in from the backyard.
As soon as she entered, she saw Meng Jiang jump up from the ground and was about to attack again.
