Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Chapter 51: Still playing the game of thieves

"You guys are really making trouble. You dare to fight in prison!" Li Daming was shocked when he arrived. He drew his sword and warned them in dissatisfaction.

When Su An saw that it was the jailer, he felt relieved and smiled as he took out ten taels of silver and stuffed it over.

"Brother, calm down. We have some issues that caused a big commotion. I will definitely be more careful next time. Consider this money as compensation for disturbing you."

Li Daming weighed the thick silver ingot, and his expression looked much better.

He glanced at Ni Dagui who was still wailing, and said to Su An in a cryptic way: "Don't say that Big Brother doesn't protect you. You can fight and make noise, but if it gets to the county magistrate, Big Brother won't be able to handle it! Get it over with quickly!"

After saying this, he left as if nothing had happened under Ni Dagui's bloodshot gaze.

"You are so blatantly colluding! I will report this to the county magistrate when I get out!"

Hearing this, Su An turned around, smiled and kicked him again, "You are a thousand-year-old turtle, why are you pretending to be a turtle? Didn't you bribe me to come in?"

Ni Dagui's words were stuck in his throat, and his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

He did spend ten taels of silver to bribe his way in, but who knew that the jailer had the upper hand over both sides?

As a result, he ended up losing more than he gained!

He got up in a panic and glared at Su An angrily: "Just wait, you bitch, you are shameless, I will kill you sooner or later!"

"It seems that you don't want your mouth anymore?" Fu Zhun played with the long chopsticks with his slender knuckles and spoke with a smile.

Su An even put his hands on his hips, standing beside Fu Zhun with a heroic and confident look, without any fear at all.

"Come on, come here if you can!"

"Okay!" Ni Dagui was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head, but when he met Fu Zhun's cold black eyes, he turned his body and staggered away.

Of course, he was not stupid enough to deal with the two of them by himself, but instead went to find the prison boss with great pain.

"Brother, here are fifty taels of silver as a deposit. Please kill those bastards, and I'll give you another fifty taels later!"

Ni Dagui spent a lot of money, and a heavy bag of purses fell on the table.

Hearing this, Li Daming's eyes suddenly lit up. He took the purse and agreed with a smile.

After Ni Dagui left with a pale face, he returned to Su An's cell door again with a cunning look on his face.

"Little girl, that man just offered a hundred taels to buy your lives. I see you are dressed in extraordinary clothes and are worth quite a lot of money. Why don't you spend some more money to avoid disaster?"

"Two hundred taels for one price. I'll keep you safe in prison from now on!"

Su An in the prison: "..."

No wonder Ni Dagui ran away in disgrace, it turned out that he had hired someone to kill someone.

There are enough grandchildren!

But this jailer is really obsessed with money and is even using the thief-eating-the-thief trick.

Su An was helpless and continued to empty her purse, feeling both amused and helpless. Fu Zhun suddenly raised his hand to hold her down, frowning and looking at the jailer unexpectedly.

"You are too greedy."

Even he had encountered such a shameless minion for the first time.

However, Li Daming shook off his fat, narrowed his triangular eyes with disdain and said, "I'm willing to give you rich people a chance to live, you should be grateful! You can buy your life for a mere two hundred taels, so what if you are reluctant to give it up?"

Fu Zhun's eyes flashed with anger, and his features became even more stern. "As a prison boss, you haven't fulfilled your duties. Instead, you've been stealing money and extorting money. How can you be justified?"

Silent oppression spread, and Li Daming couldn't help but take two steps back. When he reacted, he was instantly furious.

"Well, you little brat, you're the only one who's not afraid of death, right? Then I'll start with you today!"

Seeing the tense situation, Su An felt that something was wrong and reached out to gently stroke Fu Zhun's back. "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Big brother is right. Two hundred taels to buy peace of mind is worth it."

The girl came close to him unexpectedly, and her soft hands seemed to caress him with magic, and Fu Zhun choked.

The obscurity in his eyes flickered slightly, and finally he looked away silently.

Su An breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward and handed over the two hundred taels with both hands, smiling sweetly.

"Don't mind me, big brother. This is his first time in jail, so he doesn't know the rules. We must make money through harmony. Please put it away quickly. Thank you for letting me know in advance."

Li Daming snorted coldly and accepted all the silver. "If it weren't for your sister calling me brother so sweetly, I would never be able to swallow this anger no matter what I said. So let it go this time!"

Then he glared at Fu Zhun fiercely before leaving with a sense of satisfaction.

The veins on the back of Fu Zhun's hand were slightly bulging, as if his anger had not yet subsided.

Su An couldn't help but shook his head and whispered to him, "Master Fu, there's a saying that it's better to provoke a gentleman than a villain. Besides, the jailer is just a minor official. Even if he doesn't dare to kill us, it's easy for him to do something secretly. But we have to be on guard against it."

"Sometimes spending money to ward off disasters isn't necessarily a bad thing, but those things that money can't solve are more troublesome, aren't they?"

Fu Zhun looked at her deeply, thinking it was a twisted logic, and said without comment: "Only weak people would find it troublesome."

"You are not weak, then go and kill him." Su An curled his lips in dissatisfaction and retorted, which immediately left Fu Zhun speechless.

Realizing that Su An was also thinking about him, he curled his lips slightly and felt happy.

On the other side, Li Daming returned with the silver in his pockets, feeling very proud. Before he could even sit down, two more people came towards him.

"Oh, is it the God of Wealth who is visiting today?"

The ones who came were Zhou Li and Xie Qingfeng.

Li Daming rubbed his hands, and after the two men had settled, he said familiarly, "Visiting, huh? Ten taels of silver per person."

Zhou Li was in a bad mood. He frowned when he heard this and cursed angrily, "Since when do you have to charge for visiting the prison gate? You're asking for ten taels of silver. I'll just eat you up!"

Li Daming had seen this kind of thing many times, and he snorted coldly as he shook the prison key in his hand.

"Anyway, taking money is the rule here. If you don't have money, get out!"

"I am the prince of the capital, do you dare to stop me?" Zhou Li had a cold face and had no time to argue with such a person, so he threw out the token directly.

In addition to the family totem, there are two golden dragons entwined on the token, which is a symbol unique to the royal family in the capital.

Even though Li Daming had never seen the world, he knew that anyone who dared to carve a dragon pattern must be a powerful person.

He was instantly terrified, and quickly stood up, bowing and scraping, and fawning in a trembling voice, "I didn't know your Excellency had arrived. Damn it!"

"My Lord, you want to visit the prison cell. I will take you there right away!"

"Hmph, what a bastard who changes his attitude according to the situation." Xie Qingfeng had a blank expression on his face. While Li Daming was stuttering, he flicked his finger and popped a pill into his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth and was extremely bitter. Li Daming's face twisted for a long time. He wanted to take it out but couldn't. He could only look at Xie Qingfeng in horror.

"Hey, sir, what did you just give me to eat?!"
