After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

"You..." The skinny monkey and the big man were also confused when they saw the little girl coming in. "What's going on? Didn't you ask us to come? Where are you from?"

The girl was also very surprised. "Why did you come? We are here to settle accounts with them. Their food made people sick, and we are here to ask for money!"

Ye Xunqing laughed angrily, "What did your old lady eat to become ill? When did she eat it? How much did she spend? What else did she eat after that?"

The string of questions confused the little girl, "What?"

"What are you talking about with a little girl?" A burly woman stepped forward. "She lives with her grandmother, and it's already miserable. And you gave her rotten food, making her stomach upset. I think you want to kill her!"

"Huh." Ye Xunqing chuckled. "Don't you know how expensive it is here? Any dish costs over a hundred coins, and there are quite a few that cost one or two taels of silver. You say this old lady and the little girl depend on each other for survival, so how can they afford to eat our food?"

"I don't care. I got sick from eating your food anyway." The little girl was also very smart. "If you pay me compensation, grandma and I won't come after you."

"The premise is that your grandmother got sick from eating our food." Ye Xunqing looked at the sky outside. It was getting dark. He didn't want to waste any more time here. "Okay, that's all for today. Let's talk to my lawyer about the current situation."

"Lawyer?" The people around him didn't understand what he was saying.

Ye Xunqing straightened his clothes and said, "My lawyer is here."

"The prince is here!"

With a loud shout, the prince made a grand appearance.

Normally, Xie Hui doesn't like to make such a big fuss, but today he came to support his good brother, and he had to let everyone know: Kelailou is under his protection, understand?

"It's so lively here." Xie Hui came out of the sedan chair, "What happened?"

The girl and Skinny Monkey were just about to go and cry for help, but unexpectedly someone was quicker than them.

"Your Highness, you must help me!" Ye Xunqing pulled Feng Jingheng and arrived in front of Xie Hui in the blink of an eye.

Feng Jingheng put the stick on the edge of the table and didn't bring it with him.

Xie Hui was slightly startled for a moment; he didn't expect Ye Xunqing to move so quickly.

"Ahem, if you have any grievances, tell me quickly." Xie Hui said arrogantly.

Ye Xunqing cried with tears and snot, "Your Highness, I'm just running a small business. I finally made some money, but I don't know which great god I offended. They're secretly doing bad things and letting these thieves come here to cause trouble!"

Skinny Monkey was about to tell him he was talking nonsense when he was stopped by several guards.

"Really?" Xie Hui sneered, "I didn't even know my best friend had suffered such a great injustice here. Who in Pingzhou City doesn't know that I'm protecting Kelailou? You're causing trouble here, showing no respect for me!"

Skinny Monkey and the others felt their legs weaken and they knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I, your humble servant, have truly suffered a grievance!"

Xie Hui said, "Then tell me about your grievances."

The skinny monkey said, "My old father fell ill after eating the food at this restaurant. I wanted to ask for some money to pay for his medical treatment, but they refused to give me a penny!"

Xie Hui glanced at the old man kneeling on the ground, "Are you talking about him?"

Skinny Monkey was struck by lightning. He almost forgot that their trick had been exposed.

Xie Hui stopped questioning him and asked the little girl, "What's going on with your grandma?"

The little girl replied, "My grandma couldn't get up after eating their food."

Xie Hui drew out a sword and said, "Come, let me see if your grandma can get up."

The old woman lying on the bamboo couch saw Xie Hui coming with a sword, and her illness was cured in an instant.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, spare me!" The old woman said with full force, "It was the owners of Chunguanglou and Fuhualou who gave us the money to do this!"

Xie Hui had already guessed that someone was behind this, but it didn't bother him. He came here to make an example of someone.

Xie Hui, sword in hand, walked towards the group of people kneeling on the ground. "Haha, I haven't left the palace for a long time. I didn't know you guys were so powerful."

"Today you can spend money to frame a good person, tomorrow you can hire someone to kill someone, or even take advantage of me!"

Xie Hui was very angry.

As the saying goes: When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die.

Then if the prince gets angry, at least half of the million people will be killed.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to admit their mistakes.

Ye Xunqing was confused about the current situation. He just wanted Xie Hui to support them, but he didn't want Xie Hui to take their lives. It seemed that he was not at the point of killing them yet.

"Your Highness!" Ye Xunqing hurried back, "I think these people have realized their mistakes. Let's just leave it at that."

Xie Hui said, "Since Boss Ye has interceded for you, let's end today's matter here. The death penalty can be spared, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. Each of you will be beaten with ten sticks."

He threw away his sword and said to his guards, "I think this stick is good. I will hit each person with ten sticks, regardless of age or gender."

Ye Xunqing had a complicated expression. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to withstand the blow of this stick, let alone these elderly, weak, women and children?

Just as he was about to plead for mercy, Xie Hui gave him a look, meaning for him to be silent.

Xie Hui said, "This place is too small and crowded, it's not suitable for an execution. Come, drag them all to the backyard and beat them to death!"

Amidst the wailing, those people were dragged away. Seeing this, the people around did not dare to act rashly and slipped away.

Xie Hui added, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Whoever started today's incident, I will certainly not let them off."

Ye Xunqing agreed with this point very much, "When the time comes, I'll trouble His Majesty to support us."

Xie Hui smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

After this incident, those other hotel owners who were jealous of Ke Lai Lou no longer dared to cause trouble.

Ye Xunqing's Ke Lai Lou was peaceful for quite a while, and he also found time to spread out the steamed buns and fried dough sticks.

Everything is moving in the right direction...
