A dream ends life

Drunk

The shopkeeper smiled widely, raised his hand to the crowd, and made a gesture to listen to me.

"My fellow countrymen of Shangjing City, today is the opening day of my wine shop. The boss has something to say. Anyone who enters the shop today, whether they buy wine or not, can taste all the wines we sell for free. The alcohol content varies, and the tastes are different. But we will not sell fake wines. We will not sell fake wines, and we will not be unscrupulous merchants who harm people's lives. If you have nothing to do, you can come and taste our wine. New wine is on the market, and we will compensate you ten times for fake wines!"

The shopkeeper spoke eloquently, and the people watching were shocked.

"There's such a good thing, drinking is really free? Why don't I believe it? It can't be a scam. The city has been a bit chaotic recently, and all kinds of monsters and ghosts want to come out and make trouble. Everyone, be careful not to be deceived!"

"Well, like Shijia Liquor, they are still making money in an unscrupulous way and playing tricks on us ordinary people. We can't be fooled again."

"Right, right, right! The Shi family added water to the wine to cheat us out of our money, but this family wouldn't add medicine to the wine to cheat us out of our lives!"

Everyone was talking about all sorts of things.

The shopkeeper secretly rolled his eyes. He opened a business, of course, not to lose money to gain publicity, everyone is in the business to make money.

And he is cheating them of their lives. Don't you have a mirror or urine? Look at yourself. It is not worth it for him to give up his money and harm your life.

He doesn't have the fate of a rich person but has the disease of a rich person, and he is still suspicious. He has to spend money to buy poison, right? Is it worth it?

A tall man with bare arms stood up and said, "Boss, is drinking really free?"

The shopkeeper said, "Of course! But we are just letting everyone taste the wine. We are not asking you to get drunk before you leave. The wine can be free, but we are not asking you to drink as much as you want. Each person can only drink one or two ounces of each wine."

The man's eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "How many kinds of wine do you sell in your store?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "We have many flavors of wine in our shop, targeting different groups of people. We also have some health-preserving medicinal wines that have been stored in the cellar for more than ten years. You can't drink them casually. The doctor in the shop has to check your pulse before he can decide whether to drink them. But there are more than a dozen kinds in total."

The man grinned. He had been craving for wine since he came here today. However, the little money he earned from working early and coming back late was not enough to feed his family. How could he dare not buy wine? Today he could drink more than a pound of wine without spending any money. How could he not be happy?

He had made up his mind that when he went in later, he would drink any kind of wine, no matter what kind. One ounce of each kind, and more than a dozen kinds would add up to more than a pound. Hahaha, he'd make a lot of money!

He turned around and ran back. The shopkeeper was confused. How could this guy run away just now?

The guy from before started to talk again: "See, this guy must have figured out something fishy and ran away quickly. Don't be fooled."

An elderly man walked straight in, but he was stopped by him kindly: "Uncle, don't let your mind wander! It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."

The old man swung his arms and glared at him: "I am an old man and I am in good health. It is not certain who will go first between us. Didn't you hear that there is a doctor in the store? He gives free wine and the doctor takes the pulse. This is the first time I have encountered such a thing in my life. Don't hold me back. If you delay my drinking, I will slap you in the face!"

Everyone around came to their senses and said, yes, there is a doctor in the store, so what are they afraid of?

Some people were quick-witted and squeezed to the front while there were still few people entering.

For a moment, the door of Fushengzui was surrounded by people.

There were also some who refused to leave just to watch the fun. It was a bit regrettable that they just left like that since the Shi family wine shop hadn't been sealed off yet.

The police inside came out and chased them away: "Everyone, please disperse quickly. There's nothing to see. Everyone, disperse!"

Shi Yuyan's shop was forcibly closed, and a group of people, including the shopkeeper and the employees, were arrested for questioning. They had to go through the formalities in public.

Yes, just going through the motions.

She was the favorite concubine of the Regent King. No one dared to do anything to her. They couldn't beat her or lock her up. They could only arrest a few servants and do the routine work.

Jingzhao Yin is Yu Luohan's man, and he is very tolerant towards Shi Yuyan.

However, the shop could not be opened for the time being. It was sealed with a seal of the prefect's seal.

It's not only to appease the people, but also to protect the shop, otherwise it will be smashed by drunkards and hooligans even if it's open.

Shi Yuyan looked at the brightly lit plaque of "Fushengzui" opposite and felt so much hatred in her heart!

She said that Su Ci was too quiet, and her quietness made her uneasy. Seeing the wine shop competing with her, what else could she not understand?

This was Su Ci’s counterattack. There were no superb means or techniques. He just copied her tricks and used them against her!

She runs a wine shop, and Su Ci also runs one. The variety of wines they sell is more than hers, but I don't know what kind of wine they sell, and whether the taste is similar to her Shijia wine?

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. If the liquor store could compete, would Su Ci's other stores really remain idle? At this moment, she panicked!

No, no.

I calmed myself down, suppressed the terrible thought, and hypnotized myself for a while.

Su Ci doesn't have that kind of brains. She's just a little village woman. How could she have her insight? She's just worrying about nothing.

She returned to the Regent's Palace in a daze. The door was closed and the guards on duty couldn't help but glance to the side when they saw her.

"Why are you closing the door in broad daylight? Open it!"

Shi Yuyan frowned and questioned in a cold voice, with the aura of a mistress of a royal palace.

A guard clasped his fists and said, "Madam Shi, the old lady has ordered that when the prince is not here, the main gate of the mansion must not be opened, and the subordinates are not allowed to walk around the city at will, so as not to bring trouble to the prince's mansion. If you want to enter the mansion, please go through the side door."

Shi Yuyan was so angry that her teeth itched. This old woman couldn't bear not to make trouble for a day. She was their breadwinner. The whole palace looked scary, just an empty shell. If it weren't for her support, how could the women in the palace live a rich life? They had just had a few days of good life, and they had forgotten who the real master was.

Treat her like that village woman Su Ci and bully her however you want? Dream on!

When she thought of Su Ci, she had an innate sense of superiority. That contempt came from the bottom of her heart. She believed that she was a hundred times or a thousand times nobler than Su Ci.

Little did she know that it was this kind of contempt that pushed her into a desperate situation step by step!

She had never seen Su Ci clearly before. Based on her impression, she had preconceived notions that she was a helpless village woman who could be manipulated by her at will.

She instinctively thought that everything Su Ci had was given by Yu Luohan, and without Yu Luohan, she was just a child holding a gold ingot.

No matter how much money you have, it cannot protect it. For some business ideas, their best fate is to end up in some businessman’s backyard, where you can linger on and live out the rest of your life.
