Chapter 2101: Kill the chicken to warn the monkey
Chapter 2101 Killing the chicken to warn the monkey
Murong smiled and said: "It's okay, after today's incident, I'm afraid no one will dare to trouble you again in the future."
This is what she expected. Only a few people know about her transaction with Lord Zhou, but today, the public is killing chickens and monkeys. I believe that the people behind the Xiao family's ideas will also be restrained.
I accidentally caught a glimpse of the hawkers who were also selling food next to me, and when they saw their eyes, they moved to other places with a guilty conscience, and sneered in my heart.
Zhou Taiping came over in person today, they should be honest in the future.
Xiao Zhengchun is not a fool, and he understands what his niece is saying. Today, the prefect comes to support them in person, which can definitely deter some people with bad intentions.
Murong Lingran saw that there were a lot of onlookers, so he told them to hurry up and resume business.
The Xiao family nodded and got busy quickly.
Although they have experienced bad things just now, they are a little tired and want to rest, but since they have at least several taels of silver in their accounts every day, they can only bite the bullet and continue to do business.
Murong Lingran saw the guests coming one after another, and it was not easy to disturb them, so he went back to the inn first.
Today, Xiao Zhengchun's eldest son, Xiao Liming, also came over. He was responsible for adding carbon to the stove. A man selling sesame cakes next to him saw him alone, walked over quietly, and stuffed a sesame cake in his hand.
"Here, eat."
Xiao Liming saw the man looking at him with a smile on his face, and hurriedly returned the biscuits, "No merit, no reward, uncle should take it back."
The man continued to stuff it into Xiao Liming's hands again, and said, "Don't, I just want to ask you a few words."
Xiao Liming was about to return the biscuits, when Xiao Zhengchun noticed the situation here, took two skewers of meat to the man, and said, "Boss, you can take what the uncle gave you, and daddy will help you return the favor."
When the man saw the two skewers of meat suddenly appearing in front of him, he didn't want to accept it at first, but the taste of the skewers was so good, he couldn't help but accept it, "Thank you so much."
Xiao Zhengchun asked again: "Brother, just ask me what you want to ask, there are just a few guests right now."
The man quickly ate the two skewers of meat, and his eyes were straight. It was really delicious. No wonder the nephew of the prefect was also staring at it.
Hearing what Xiao Zhengchun said, he said embarrassingly: "No... It's nothing, I just wanted to ask who the woman who was talking to you just now is from you? It seems to be quite imposing."
He just happened to not hear Murong Lingran revealing his identity.
Xiao Zhengchun had long expected that he would ask this question, so it was not too strange, and his tone was extremely flat: "She is my niece."
"Your niece?" The man said in shock, "I heard Lord Zhou call her the county magistrate just now?"
Xiao Zhengchun nodded, "Yes."
A Ran talked to Lord Zhou just now, and it is estimated that many people heard it. Thinking that A Ran should not care that others know that she is the county head, he did not hide too much.
The man said again: "How come you have a relative who is the county head? With such a wealthy relative, why do you set up a stall by yourself?"
Xiao Zhengchun said: "This is my family business, so it's inconvenient to say more. The days are our own, and of course we have to make money by ourselves."
After saying that, he saw that his family was too busy, so he quickly stepped forward to help.
