The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs
Chapter 120: Greedy
Shorty Liu also saw it, but could do nothing about it.
He pulled a piece of clean linen from the shelf nearby and wiped his hands.
He awkwardly took out a small bag of silver from his bosom and held it in front of the leading man.
The big man poured it into his palm, weighed it for a few times, and sneered, "Is that all? You're just giving it to a beggar!
I tell you, this is not enough! I will raise it to five taels of silver a month in the future!"
Wow! That’s so many!
The people around started talking about it.
"It wasn't this much before! Why are you charging so much all of a sudden?"
"That's right. Liu the Dwarf has a 60-year-old mother at home who needs medicine every day, and she needs two taels of silver every month!"
"I know about this. I heard the doctor at Huichuntang mention it. And that medicine is just the cheapest medicine. It can only delay death!"
The big man threw the silver coins into his purse and kicked over a shelf beside him.
The coarse porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
"There are still three taels of silver, and you have three days to pay it.
Otherwise, don’t even think about doing business here anymore!”
A voice emerged from the crowd: "Why are you so overbearing? Don't the government care about it?"
"Who? Stand up!"
The big man looked in the direction where the sound came from. The people all retreated away, revealing two young boys sitting on the low wall.
It was Lu Jiao and Qingchuan.
It’s just that the clothes they wore were obviously much better than those of other people.
The big man had also seen servants of wealthy families.
He was unsure for a moment and felt embarrassed, so he picked up a wooden stick and wanted to smash the meat pie stall.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Jiao picked up a stone from the ground and used his internal force to bounce it towards the big man.
The stone hit the big man's wrist, and there was a snapping sound. The wrist seemed to be broken and hung down in a strange way.
The big man cried out in pain, "Who plotted against me? Brothers, spread out and look for him. You must catch the bastard who plotted against me!"
After something like this happened, the people dared not stay any longer and they scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.
The big men tried to stop them, but to no avail.
The only ones left at the scene were Liu the Dwarf, the big men, Lu Jiao and Qingchuan.
"You two little bastards, why don't you run away? Do you look down on me, your grandfather?
Don't move there, or I'll beat you to death!"
The big man put his right hand into his arms, picked up the wooden stick from the ground with his left hand, and wanted to greet Lu Jiao.
Qingchuan tugged at Lu Jiao's sleeve: "Let's go!"
"Don't be afraid." Lu Jiao patted his arm and jumped down from the low wall.
"You know what? Wasting food will bring punishment from God."
"I don't care what kind of punishment you have, today I am your punishment.
Now I'll make you kneel down and call me grandpa!"
The big man swung the wooden stick so hard that it made a whistling sound, but in Lu Jiao's opinion, it was full of loopholes.
She took advantage of her small stature to slip past the big man, then slashed his neck with a knife.
At the moment of falling, Lu Jiao heard a cracking sound.
Well, this big guy’s shoulder is also dislocated.
Lu Jiao glanced at the big men and asked, "Who else wants to be punished by God?"
Seeing that Lu Jiao was very skilled and was no match for them, they lifted up the fallen man and quickly retreated, not forgetting to make some harsh remarks before leaving.
"You, you, you...just wait! We'll go get the boss over right now!"
Several people carried the unconscious man away, and their discussions could be heard from a long distance away.
"The boss has fainted. Which boss should we go to?"
"You ask me, who should I ask? We have been collecting the regular fees for so many years. I don't know what the boss above is thinking that he suddenly wants us to pay a large sum of money."
"Don't you want to die? How dare you say such things?
I heard that the master's stall in the outer city was taken over by someone, and he suffered heavy losses!"
"real or fake!"
"Why would I lie to you? I'm telling you..."
Lu Jiao's eyes flashed. He didn't expect that the meat pie stall suffered such a misfortune and it was related to him.
But she certainly won't take the blame for others.
It must be that the master was greedy. When he ran out of money from his stall, he started to plunder the money from the small vendors in the capital.
Her mind moved slightly, and her mental power left marks on those people.
But the most important thing in front of us is this meat pie stall.
Before leaving, those people also took away the copper coins in the money box.
But two hundred copper coins were nothing to Lu Jiao, so he did not stop him.
Shorty Liu held the porcelain basin, tears streaming down his face.
Five taels of silver as a monthly salary, this is not giving him a way to survive!
Lu Jiao wanted to take Liu the Shorty away, but Qingchuan was also present.
"You go back first, I'll come play with you another day."
Qingchuan hesitated for a moment, but still listened to Lu Jiao's words.
Qingchuan saw Lu Jiao's skills clearly just now, he is worthy of being someone close to the prince!
He nodded to Liu the Shorty and went in another direction.
When Liu the Shorty came to his senses from the blow, he saw that there was only one person left in front of the stall that was originally bustling with people, and his face looked even more sorrowful.
He recognized this as the guy who had just bought five meat patties.
He forced out an ugly smile and said, "Brother, hurry up! It will be too late when they come back!"
"how about you?"
Liu the Shorty looked at the simple stall and it seemed that there was nothing valuable except the oven for frying pancakes.
"I'm leaving too. This meat pie stand can't continue to operate."
The wrinkles on Liu the Dwarf's face became more obvious, and his whole face looked like an over-fried pancake, making him look like a man who was almost fifty years old.
But I just heard from people living nearby that his mother is only in her early sixties.
Thinking that he would never be able to eat such delicious meat pies again, Lu Jiao said, "Lao Liu, why don't you open a meat pie stall somewhere else!"
Liu the Dwarf shook his head and thanked Lu Jiao for his kindness: "Brother, I appreciate your kindness.
But, this group of people have connections with the petty officials in the inner city government, how can we fight them!"
Lu Jiao decided to eradicate this group of people completely, especially the petty officials who were in collusion with them!
"Where does the old man live? Sell me all the remaining bread!
Don't set up your stall these days. Wait for me to find you a good place. Then you will make more than a few taels of silver a month!"
As he spoke, he took out two taels of silver from his pocket, which was more than enough to pay for the cakes.
"Young man... No, sir, you don't need so much. I'll give you the change..."
But when he saw the empty wooden box, Liu the Dwarf's face wrinkled again.
“They took all the money away…”
Even if he didn't take it away, it wouldn't be enough to pay back Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao stuffed the silver into Liu's hand and said, "How about I consider it as I like your skill in making cakes and hire you in advance?"
Shorty Liu clenched the silver ingot in his hand.
The sharp edge hurt his hand before he believed that such a good thing could be true.
"thanks, thanks!"
Shorty Liu was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He just kept bowing to Lu Jiao.
"Old man, let's go back!"
"Hey, hey!" Shorty Liu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and put the silver into his arms.
He didn't forget to pick up the bowl of noodles and the bowl of meat filling, and went ahead to lead the way.
