Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Wu Xiangxiang frowned, wanting to see who was saying such a bold thing.

Jiang Nianwei immediately apologized respectfully: "I'm sorry, miss. Did those people disturb your mood? I'll ask the shopkeeper to deal with it."

Wu Xiangxiang waved her hand and said, "I want to see who dares to be so presumptuous and say such outrageous words within my father's jurisdiction."

Jiang Nianwei pretended to have just learned her true identity. She was immediately panicked and bowed: "So you are the daughter of Governor Wu. I am so blind that I failed to recognize you in time. I apologize for any offense."

Wu Xiangxiang didn't care. "Miss Jiang, you are too kind. I also want to thank you for the gifts you gave me."

Jiang Nianwei sighed softly, as if she was filled with endless sorrow. "Miss, I am sorry to have embarrassed you. Baihualou is a restaurant opened by my relatives. I often visit here. This is not the first time I have encountered such a thing. The restaurant opposite often sends people to harass us and disturb our peace. It is really annoying. Anyway, we have finished our meal, so we might as well leave here quickly and not ruin our mood."

This made Wu Xiangxiang even more curious, "Wait a minute, let me see who this person is?"

She walked downstairs slowly and saw a slightly bloated man in fancy clothes, followed by several burly thugs.

He asked dissatisfiedly: "Who are you and why are you talking nonsense here?"

The fat man looked Wu Xiangxiang up and down, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "It seems that you are a diner here? You don't know the situation here, so I advise you to eat less here in the future and go to the restaurant opposite instead."

Wu Xiangxiang retorted dissatisfiedly: "Does it require you to care where I eat?"

The man was intrigued, and a frivolous smile appeared on his lips. He said jokingly, "Oh, you little girl, you have a very strong temper, and you look quite lovely. Why don't you follow me and become the sixth concubine in my house? I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

When Wu Xiangxiang heard this, her face immediately turned red, her eyes full of shame and anger. She angrily shouted, "You are so shameless! How can you be so frivolous to me!"

At this moment, Jing Zhuo suddenly blocked Wu Xiangxiang's way and said, "If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me. Why insult this girl from an honest family?"

Seeing this, the man sneered, "I think you are tired of living! You can't even take care of yourself, and you still dare to point fingers at me. Smash it! Smash it hard! Take this woman away too!"

"How dare you! Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of Governor Wu you mentioned. I never thought there would be a bully like you in Yazhou City who bullies men and women. I will report this to my father and ask him to punish you!"

The man laughed arrogantly, "Don't mention that she is the daughter of Governor Wu. I will beat Governor Wu anyway."

The men began to smash and destroy items in the restaurant wantonly.

In the mess, the man tried to reach out and grab the trembling Wu Xiangxiang, but Jiang Nianwei gave him a neat side kick, pushing him back several steps.

"Even if you run away, I will find you! Just wait and see!"

She held Wu Xiangxiang's hand tightly, and taking advantage of the bullies' unpreparedness, the two of them quickly escaped from the back door of the kitchen.

Jiang Nianwei's face was bitter. "Miss, I'm really sorry for scaring you today. I hope you can forget the unpleasantness today."

Wu Xiangxiang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She bit her lower lip tightly and said, "It's really lawless. There is such a bully rampant. I will never let him off easily. Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I will take care of everything for you. Just rest assured."

When Wu Xiangxiang and the wet nurse returned to the mansion safely, Jiang Nianwei turned around and walked lightly back to the restaurant.

Jing Zhuo looked distressed, "Look, this newly opened restaurant is now in such a mess!"

Jiang Nianwei smiled calmly, "It just so happens that we have the opportunity to renovate the shop, and someone will pay for it for us. Let's close the shop and take a rest for a few days. I have other things to discuss with you."

Originally, Jing Zhuo was in the fruit business, and Jiang Nianwei wanted to sell the specialty fruits of Yazhou through her.

Jing Zhuo shook his head. "Your idea is indeed good, but I came all the way from Longzhou. The mountain road is rugged and I have to pass through the miasma forest. If there is no one to lead the way, I am afraid I will die there. The transportation here is blocked, and it is in the southernmost part. The weather is hot, so it is not easy to transport the fruit out."

"I have my own way. Besides, even if the land route is not possible, we can still go by water."

She has space for walnuts and can keep them fresh. As long as she can leave Yazhou, fruit preservation will not be a problem.

Jing Zhuo explained everything he knew in detail, "There is a dangerous water stronghold hidden on the route to Yazhou."

"The pirates there are cunning and vicious. Taking advantage of the terrain, they frequently rob passing merchant ships without fail. Although the government has sent elite forces to try to eliminate them, they have ultimately returned in vain. Over time, that sea area has become a forbidden area for merchant ships, and no one dares to set foot there easily."

Jiang Nianwei thought: "Pirates?"

The book mentioned that these so-called pirates were actually loyal and righteous people who were forced to gather together. They were brave and resourceful, and not unreasonable.

Most of those notorious rumors were deliberately spread by the government, in order to save face for not being able to attack the pirates, and to cut off the source of supplies for those "pirates".

Jiang Nianwei had already come up with a plan in her mind, "I have a plan."

"They robbed passing merchant ships only because the water fort needed supplies. If we provide supplies, can we reach a cooperation with them?"

Jing Zhuo was slightly stunned when she heard this. This best friend who always followed the rules in modern society was now proposing a risky plan.

"Nianwei, Nianwei, even though we are good friends, I feel like I don't know you well enough. I'm afraid we'll die before we even see those islands."

"You don't have to be afraid. I need you to stay here and take charge. I will go with the others."

"I'm not scared, I'm worried about you. I don't want to lose a good friend again."

Jiang Nianwei was moved, "I must be sure that I dare to act, you don't need to worry."

Aunt Liu brought out the freshly made dessert and couldn't help but worry: "The restaurant is ruined like this, how can you still smile so happily, young lady?"

"Madam Liu, don't worry. Everything he destroyed today will be returned one by one. How can the cause and effect of this world be easily escaped?"

He turned around and called Jing Zhuo over, "Cousin, how about you try this dessert?"

Jing Zhuo took a look and found that it was actually red bean double skin milk, which was her favorite dessert in modern times.

There are also mango coconut milk, taro coconut milk, durian milk, pearl milk tea, and coconut milk tea, which actually brings all the modern types of milk tea here.

"I asked Aunt Liu to try making these desserts, and we can sell them in the restaurant in the future."

One of the benefits of being in Yazhou is that there are coconuts everywhere, and all the raw materials for making desserts are ready.

Jing Zhuo ate with gusto, and of course he did not forget to secretly inquire for Jiang Nianwei and got a route map.

……

Wu Xiangxiang returned to the prefect's mansion, and after her father came back from work, she vividly described what she had experienced that day.

"Dad, I know you were demoted to Yazhou, and you must be unhappy, but you are the governor of Yazhou, and the restaurant owner looked down on you and even bullied your daughter."

Wu Xiangxiang couldn't swallow this anger and threw herself into her mother's arms and cried.

Mother Wu stroked her daughter's hair, her eyes full of heartache, "Master, Xiangxiang's brother has passed away a long time ago, and she is our only daughter. She is being bullied like this, are we going to continue to swallow our anger?"

"Mom, do you know the identity of the owner of Xianyu Fang?"

"Of course I know that the boss behind Xianyufang is Li Zhubu's son, and now he dares to bully our family."

Wu Xiangxiang's eyes were glistening with tears, and her mouth was slightly drooping. She cried out aggrievedly: "Dad, I feel so wronged. Please help me!"

Governor Wu gnashed his teeth and slammed his hands on the table. "This is simply too much! Someone, go and get Li Zhubu here. I have something important to discuss with him. Xiangxiang, don't worry. Your father will get to the bottom of this matter and seek justice for you!"

At this moment, Li Kun was in high spirits and returned home triumphantly.

Today, I smashed up Baihua Tower and finally got rid of the anger in my heart.

Originally, he wouldn't have had to get involved in such a small matter, but Xianyu Fang's business was in a slump and he couldn't just sit back and watch.

All his subordinates are good-for-nothings, and the strategies they come up with are just theory and are far less effective than his direct actions.

With his father's support, he is the little bully in the city. No one dares to provoke or bully him. However, he doesn't know that a storm is waiting for him.

Li Zhubu returned home with an angry face, stepped over the threshold gloomily, and immediately ran straight to Li Kun's yard with a ruler in hand.

He ran straight to Li Kun's yard, only to see Li Kun lying lazily on the couch, with his concubine feeding him grapes gently, looking very comfortable.

This situation was like a raging fire meeting dry wood, which instantly ignited Li Zhubu's anger.

"You evil boy! What good things did you do outside? Why did you mess with anyone else but the governor's daughter? I think you think your life is not long enough!"

He swung the ruler in his hand mercilessly at Li Kun, hitting him so hard that he screamed and ran away.

The whole yard was in chaos in an instant, the concubines screamed and fled in all directions, while Li Kun was in a desperate situation trying to avoid his father's beatings and scoldings.

"Dad, you misunderstood!" Li Kun covered his buttocks that were burned by the beating and defended himself innocently, "I have never even seen the governor's daughter, so how can I provoke her?"

"I was severely reprimanded by Governor Wu and may even be demoted because of what you did! The governor's daughter personally pointed out that you not only smashed the restaurant, but also wanted to take her as your sixth concubine in front of everyone. You are really capable!"

Li Kun reacted instantly. The woman he flirted with in the restaurant today was actually the prefect's daughter?

"Now, Governor Wu wants to settle old scores with me. If what you and I did in private is exposed, it will be a disaster, and you and I will lose our lives!"

Li Zhubu was so angry that he hit him a few more times. Li Kun's body was a mess, his skin was torn, and his clothes were stained with blood.

Although Li Zhubu felt distressed, he knew that he had to be ruthless at this moment to save Li Kun's life.

"Go to the prefect's residence right now and apologize to Miss Wu Er! You must get her forgiveness no matter what."

Li Kun's nose was running with pain, and he looked miserable. He responded in a trembling voice: "I...I know. I'll go right away."

"Wait a minute," Li Zhubu's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, "You must immediately compensate the restaurant you just destroyed, apologize to the other party, and seek their forgiveness."

"Why? They are the ones who stole my business."

Li Zhubu gnashed his teeth and said, "Use your pig brain to think about it. So many people saw you making trouble! If Wu Taishou uses this as an opportunity to make a big fuss, even if I have a thousand abilities, it will be difficult to protect you. The situation is stronger than people. You need to swallow your anger at this moment, quickly admit your mistakes, and solve the problem. This is the best policy."

"I understand."

Li Kun, who had been so arrogant and conceited just now, now looked like a frustrated dog who had lost his home. He came to apologize with expensive gifts.

But they were all thrown out by the people in the prefectural governor's mansion. "The lady has ordered that if you truly repent and can change your past, she may consider forgiving you."

Li Kun recalled what his father said, and immediately got up and went to Baihualou, ready to find the boss to discuss compensation.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, at this moment he could only humbly beg for Jing Zhuo's forgiveness.

"Boss Jing, I am so short-sighted that I offended you. I will compensate for all the losses of this store, no matter which item it is. But please, considering my sincere regret, can you give me a chance to make a new beginning?"

Jing Zhuo listened quietly, his face still expressionless, and he just responded calmly: "Of course you have to compensate for the items in this store, but that day you beat up someone in my store, how do you plan to make up for this injury?"

Li Kun had already insulted Jing Zhuo in his heart, but on the surface he still smiled, "No matter how much, I will compensate you."

At this moment, he saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat whispering something in Jing Zhuo's ear, and Jing Zhuo nodded in understanding.

"I remember you called me a dog with such harsh words, and you were so arrogant and domineering. Now I want to see if you can really learn to bark like a dog to please me, your former 'dog'?"

Li Kun shouted in dissatisfaction: "You...don't push it any further. How can I condescend to imitate the sound of a dog barking!"

As the crowd of onlookers gradually increased, various discussions arose one after another.

"Isn't this Mr. Li?"

"He has always been arrogant, but it's rare to see him being so humble."

"If he really barks like a dog, it would really make me feel better."

Li Kun became more and more uneasy. This made him lose face in front of everyone.

Jing Zhuo showed a trace of helplessness on his face: "In this case, Mr. Li, please go back. I will file a complaint with the government and explain what happened today. You don't need to ask for my forgiveness."

Thinking of his father's instructions and what the people in the prefect's mansion said, Li Kun gritted his teeth and barked twice with difficulty, "Woof woof!"
