A trace of panic flashed in the servant's eyes.
Indeed...if he had made a truthful estimate, he wouldn't have been afraid of being reported to the authorities. But now he is in a difficult situation.
Seeing Fang Zhengyi still trying to squeeze in, the servant said harshly, "Just wait! Wait until our boss comes out!"
After saying that, he left the counter and ran away in a hurry.
Emperor Jing covered his face, tugged at the corner of Fang Zhengyi's clothes, and whispered, "Come down."
Fang Zheng jumped down.
Emperor Jing coughed awkwardly and said, "Why are you acting like a gangster? How can you be so disrespectful?"
Fang Zheng said, "You don't know, we don't have money. Different trades are like different mountains. If I don't act tough, I will be bullied. As the saying goes, the poor are afraid of the tough, the tough are afraid of the desperate, and the desperate are afraid of the crazy."
"There are some honest people who only know how to follow the rules and are polite everywhere, but what happens to them in the end? These people are ripped off every day. If they had a little more dignity and were able to throw a tantrum, they wouldn't be bullied all the time. I've seen this many times."

The shopkeeper picked up the jade ring and looked at it carefully.
After looking at it, he said, "This is indeed a rare and fine jade. What do you think of the price?"
The shopkeeper stretched out a hand and spread out his five fingers.
Fang Zhengyi also held out his hand: "Eight taels, don't pawn the ticket, we'll just take the money and leave."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper took out eight taels of silver and handed it over without any hesitation.
He had just heard from the servant that a rogue had come.
It couldn't be better now that I could make money and get rid of people.
Fang Zhengyi took the silver and said, "Thank you."
After saying this, he left quickly with Emperor Jing and others.
