On September 15th, the Tang family arrived at the dock an hour earlier.

Lao Qi and Li Da carried everyone's luggage, and even Mrs. Tang and Tang Yuanzhi were carrying several packages.

The men had no spare hands, and Tang Li was led by Mrs. Cao from behind.

Yunling was about to get on the gangplank with everyone. The man who had collected her money a few days ago hurriedly ran down from the deck, breathlessly stuffed the money bag into her, and said: "Miss Tang, I'm sorry, the house is full." Now, your money will be returned to you, and you can find another ship."

What do you mean?

Yunling was caught off guard by the news.

What about the agreed spirit of the contract?

Everything she said was fine a few days ago, why did she suddenly change her mind today? How could she find the next ship that would dock in Yuezhou at this moment?

She raised her head and forced a smile, "Uncle, why are all the guests full? Didn't your shopkeeper take my deposit? Should I have reserved the cabin for my family? Is there any misunderstanding? Or can you help me again? Go and ask?"

The man shook his head like a rattle, "No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding, the cabin is full."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yunling grabbed him and stuffed pieces of silver into his sleeves, but the man waved his hands in a panic and refused to accept it.

"Girl, please don't embarrass me. It's really the shopkeeper who won't let your family board the boat. It's useless for you to hold me back."

Yunling refused to give up and asked, "Then why did the shopkeeper suddenly change his mind? You have to give me a clear explanation, right?"

The man turned his head to look at the busy people on the deck. Finally, he couldn't bear it and said in a low voice: "The guests on the ship went to talk to the shopkeeper. Later, the shopkeeper asked me to return the money to you. He just said that if the guests were full, he would not let you go home. Take a boat ride.”

Yunling frowned.

guest? What guests?

At this moment, a woman in red walked up to the deck of the ship, followed by a young maid.

Qu Wanwan looked at Yunling condescendingly and said sarcastically, "You should be self-aware as a human being. Don't you know who your family is? Why do you still have the nerve to take a boat? You are not afraid of dirtying the Jin's Trading Company's signboard."

It turns out she was the one who was doing the trick!

Yunling took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said, "Why can't you sit down?"

Qu Wanwan suddenly laughed, pointed at the Tang family and said, "Everyone, come and take a look. This family is a sinner who was driven out of Ruidu. It is said that His Majesty personally ordered them to go back to their hometown to fend for themselves. Such People don’t just walk back home on two legs, but they still have the nerve to take a boat? It’s really eye-opening!”

The ship was about to set off, and there were already a lot of people on the deck. Everyone had already noticed the movement on the springboard. After hearing Qu Wanwan's voice, many people immediately came over to watch the excitement.

Even the people on the shore gathered around.

Except for the sullen Yunling, and Li Da and others who were unaware of the situation, everyone in the Tang family lowered their heads, with pale faces, wishing they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Seeing this, Qu Wanwan became even more proud, and her fingertips swept over Tang Yuanzhi and Old Man Tang one by one, "It's this Tang Yuanzhi who bought a stake in a drug store selling inferior medicines in Ruidu and harmed many people. And this old man, for My son went to seek help from His Majesty, but ended up being sent back to his place of origin!"

Tang Yuanzhi blushed and looked at everyone pointing at him, waving his hands repeatedly: "I didn't, I didn't, it was someone who told me there was a way to make money and asked me to join the stock. I didn't even know they were selling inferior medicines. , I won’t do that immoral thing.”

He really didn't know anything. He didn't even get any dividends, and he only received a severe beating in prison.

It's a pity that no one listened to his explanation.

Just like in prison, none of the cell bosses who interrogated him believed his story.

When he bit out that the person calling him to buy shares was the Liu family, he would only beat him harder.

Mr. Tang sighed heavily and said to Yun Ling: "Ling'er, let's go back. We won't take the boat."

As he said that, he turned around and bowed to everyone, cupping his hands and saying, "Everyone is laughing at me, so please give way."

Yunling looked at his bent spine with sour eyes.

She raised her head, looked at Qu Wanwan and asked, "How can anyone in this world be without fault? My Tang family made a mistake. The only fault was that my eldest uncle didn't know people well and framed them, so that he was angry with His Majesty and sent him back to his place of origin. . But my Tang family has not done anything wrong, and we are willing to try our best to make up for our past mistakes. People who have committed serious crimes can be released from prison after serving their sentences and have the opportunity to reform, and the court is willing to accept them. They are still regarded as citizens of the Dongrui Kingdom. And my family is only asking to return to their place of origin, which is a minor crime, but they are not even allowed to return to their hometown by boat? Does the court have such a law? "

Qu Wanwan was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer, so she had to look at the shopkeeper of Jin's Trading Company on the deck.

The shopkeepers of Jin's Trading Company are also the top two.

A few days ago, he heard Qu Wanwan saying that the Tang family were sinners, and that they would get into trouble if they were taken back to their hometown, so he decided to discredit Master Zheng and refuse the Tang family to take the boat.

But I didn't expect that what the little girl said today seemed to have hidden secrets.

It's just that he said what he said, and if he agreed again at this time, it would be a bit of a renege on his word, and he would be laughed at.

So, he cleared his throat and said: "Miss Tang, I'm sorry, I was really busy the past few days, so I forgot to reserve your cabin. There really is no spare cabin today, not other things." I won’t let you board the ship for some reason. Let’s just stay at home for a few more days and take a look. Maybe there will be a merchant ship passing through Yuezhou soon..."

Yunling knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, and she was a little impatient to continue listening. She cut off his words and said, "Shopkeeper, I paid the deposit."

The shopkeeper was a little stunned and didn't realize the meaning of her words for a while.

I heard the little girl opposite say in a cold voice: "A few days ago, my family came to book a cabin. Everyone on the dock saw it. Your guy can also testify that since you accepted my deposit, you have made an agreement with me. Now that you have gone back on your word, you will have to refund double the deposit."

Yunling raised the purse in her hand, "It only contains the thirty-five taels I gave you that day. You still have to pay me another thirty-five taels, for a total of seventy taels. After paying the money, I will leave!"

The little girl has such a loud voice.

The shopkeeper's face also darkened, "Miss Tang, you are blackmailing me!"

Yunling was not afraid at all, "The shopkeeper drives a big ship to do business. He should know the rules about deposits better than me."

Even if he understands, it depends on who it is for. It is absolutely impossible for him to give someone thirty-five taels for no reason.

But I couldn't find any words to refute.

The scene was a little quiet for a while.

At this moment, a group of people dressed as guards suddenly ran over.

"Where are the Tang family? The old lady of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion invites you to come on board as guests."
