Chapter 167 Meeting Her Is Destined to Fail
Chapter 167 Meeting Her Is Destined to Fail
Would you like to see the show?
All the guests looked at Xie Lan curiously.
Originally, everyone was afraid when they saw Zhang Feiba, who had been collecting protection fees for years, bringing so many thugs to cause trouble.
But when they saw him being stepped on by the hammer, they just felt relieved and gathered around him.
A customer was just buying spiritual rice in the store and had no idea what was happening outside.
After hearing what Xie Lan said, they thought she was going to invite everyone to taste some fruits produced in Sanqing Mountain.
He almost drooled, "Miss Xie, what kind of melon are you going to treat us to? Is it sweet? Is it crispy?"
Xie Lan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he looked at this foodie.
She cleared her throat and said with a smile, "This melon is not that melon, but it is sweet and crispy."
"This melon is not that melon, so what kind of melon is it?" The guest touched his head. Seeing everyone laughing, he was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and waved at Xie Lan.
"Well, I'm a rough guy, I don't understand what the melon is.
But the girl said it was sweet, so it must be delicious. You should just serve it out for everyone to taste. After everyone has tasted it, I will buy a few more to take back for my wife to eat."
There was an old lady who loved to watch the fun and was waiting for Xie Lan to punish the gang of hooligans. Seeing that the man was still thinking about eating melons, she couldn't help but look down on him,
"Eat, eat, eat. You fool only know how to eat. The girl has said that this melon is not that melon anymore, why are you still thinking about eating it?"
"Hey, what's wrong with me thinking about eating watermelons? It doesn't bother you, why are you cursing?"
Seeing that the two men were about to fight, Xie Lan raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Fei, "Stop arguing, the melon I'm talking about is him.
Today I am opening my shop, and I am grateful for your support, so I am inviting you to come and watch the fun."
Zhang Feiba, relying on his status as the Dali Temple's Chief Justice, had never been bullied like this before. Seeing everyone surrounding him and pointing fingers, he became even angrier.
He struggled to get up from the ground, but found that the maid's step on his chest seemed light, but it felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he couldn't move at all.
Xie Lan walked closer and glanced down at him. Seeing Zhang Feiba glaring at her angrily, she snorted and raised her hand to stick a mantra talisman on him.
Just as Xie Lan withdrew her hand, a thug suddenly got up from the ground, holding a big knife and rushed towards her fiercely, "Don't bully my big brother."
The onlookers and the store owner were so frightened that they shouted at Xie Lan.
"Master, be careful."
"Run, girl."
The gangster thought he was very powerful and as fast as a whirlwind, but to Tiechui, his movements were no different from those of a slow turtle.
When he rushed close to him, he slapped him slowly and then kicked him down.
At this moment, another angry shout was heard, "Stop.
Under the emperor's feet, you dare to gather a crowd and beat up innocent people in broad daylight. Do you still have the law in your eyes?"
The man who came was a man in his forties with a mustache. He spoke in an official tone and tried his best to look authoritative.
Xie Lan's eyes wandered over the luxurious brocade robe he was wearing, trying to guess his identity.
Zhang Feiba was very excited, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please save me."
Xie Lan raised his eyebrows. It turned out that this person was the Dali Temple Secretary.
Just when she was complaining that the show was not exciting enough, the Dali Temple Secretary came and was quite thoughtful.
"Oh, Zhang Feiba's sister is just the fifth concubine of the Dali Temple Secretary. Zhang Feiba is not qualified to call this Lord Shi his brother-in-law."
"That's because Lord Shi's wife is not here, otherwise she would never allow Zhang Feiba to call himself his brother-in-law."
When Shi Mingzhu heard the discussions of others, he glared at Zhang Feiba. If it weren't for the money he paid to him every month, he would not have bothered to pay attention to him.
Although Shi Mingzhu didn't know what had happened, he glanced at the new plaque hung on the shop in front of him and guessed that Zhang Feiba was here to collect protection money.
He originally wanted to show off his power, but seeing so many people watching, he began to feel afraid.
Although he was the Dali Temple Secretary, he was nothing in this Kyoto where powerful people gathered. If some censor reported him, wouldn't it affect his official career?
Future is important, protection fee can be collected at any time.
Shi Mingzhu put away his official authority and signaled to the servant beside him, "Go and take Fei Ba back quickly."
Zhang Feiba originally thought that he would make the decision for him, but he never expected that he would take him away as soon as he arrived. He hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law..."
Shi Mingzhu saw through his thoughts and stopped him with a look, then he scolded him with an attitude of disappointment.
"You've drunk too much again, and you're out here making trouble? Why don't you go back and reflect on yourself? Are you waiting for me to carry you away in a sedan chair?"
Zhang Feiba felt aggrieved, but he also knew that his brother-in-law had been making money from various cases for many years and had also been protecting him. The reason why no one had discovered his true identity was because he was cautious enough.
Zhang Feiba was about to leave, but was suddenly horrified to find that he could not move.
Thinking of the black mule that had disappeared, Zhang Feiba glared at Xie Lan, "Did you do anything to me?"
Xie Lan nodded, "Yes, I said I would invite everyone to eat melons and watch the show. The show hasn't started yet, you can't leave."
Shi Mingzhu frowned, not understanding what was going on. "What show are you watching?"
"What play?" Xie Lan looked at him with a smile, "Master Shi, you will know after watching it."
Shi Mingzhu couldn't tell Xie Lan's identity, but he felt a little apprehensive that Zhang Feiba, who brought so many people, was easily subdued by the master and servant.
"No need. I don't like to watch plays."
He is quite cautious, no wonder he can make a lot of money from various cases. It's a pity that he is destined to fail after meeting her this time.
Shi Mingzhu wanted to take Zhang Feiba away, but Xie Lan would never allow it. He ordered Tiechui, "A guest is a guest. Sir Shi, please stay and watch the show with everyone."
"Yes, girl."
Tiechui responded and pressed Shi Mingzhu's acupoints without waiting for him to resist.
Shi Mingzhu was unable to move and was a little panicked. He shouted in a timid voice, "How dare you! I am the Deputy Minister of the Dali Temple. How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid that I will ask the runners to arrest you and take you to the Dali Temple?"
Xie Lan rolled her eyes. If she was afraid, she wouldn't have let Tiechui do it.
Not bothering to pay attention to the scolding from the Dali Temple Secretary, Xie Lan turned directly to the thug who had tried to chop her.
"What's your name?"
Ever since the gangster found himself being fixed, he has been trying to break free, but to no avail.
I was just getting angry, and when I heard Xie Lan's question, I was about to ask, "Why should I tell you?"
Unexpectedly, the first thing he said was, "My name is Ma Xiaoquan."
"Ma Xiaoquan, why did you come to my store to cause trouble?"
Ma Xiaoquan found that his mouth, like his body, was completely out of control. He could only purse his lips tightly and tried to refuse to answer.
However, his mouth opened of its own accord.
"Brother Ba said that a new store opened on Zhengfu Street, so he brought us here to collect protection money..."
