Shen Ming quickly put the Spirit Flame Fruit into his arms and used his cultivation to hide the spiritual energy of the Spirit Flame Fruit before he calmed down.
"Let's go! Let's go find Lu Xin." Shen Ming said after getting on his horse.
Beitongzhou.
Lu Xin rode past the Hongyi Pavilion, took a look at the shop he had just bought, then dismounted and walked into the Rouge Shop next door.
The waiter received him warmly and became even more cordial when he saw that he had chosen two expensive items.
After Lu Xin settled the bill, the waiter sent him to the door again.
Lu Xin pointed to the Hongyi Pavilion shop next door and asked deliberately: "Why is this shop closed?"
"My guest doesn't know that the Hongyi Pavilion next door has been sold. Now there is a new shopkeeper. I think the new shopkeeper hasn't started business yet, so the door is closed, right?"
"This shop is not small, and the location is good. The former owner of Hongyi Pavilion was really willing to give it up!"
The waiter nodded: "Who says it's not the case? I didn't want such a big and good shop. Now, I went to the back street and bought a Red Clothes Pavilion.
It’s much smaller than this, and there are not as many people as here in the back streets!”
Lu Xin narrowed his eyes and already had a judgment in his mind.
"Throw this hot potato to me, haha, you are really good at calculating!"
After saying that, Lu Xin got on his horse. The waiter was stunned and didn't understand what Lu Xin said before leaving.
Suddenly, the waiter frowned slightly, touched his head and said, "I think I have seen this person before?"
Hongyi Pavilion’s move from the largest and busiest main street to the back street was something that all Hongyi Pavilion’s regular patrons did not expect.
When shopkeeper Xu sold Hongyi Pavilion, he thought he was not planning to do business and was planning to live out his life!
No one expected that just after selling the two-story Hongyi Pavilion on the main street, they would open another Hongyi Pavilion on the back street.
Although the shop here is not as big as before, the customers who used to patronize it still come to buy clothes from him.
Shopkeeper Xu smiled and flipped the abacus, looking at the money coming in, his eyes were raised with joy!
However, compared with the damage to the previous shop on Main Street, it was nothing at all.
Fortunately, he sold the shop!
He bought it four years ago, and after four years of appreciation, it was able to make up for the losses in the shop.
When shopkeeper Xu was happy, another guest came in. Shopkeeper Xu raised his head: "Inside the guest..."
Before I could say the word "please", shopkeeper Xu's expression froze!
He recognized Lu Xin at once because he was wearing a curtain hat, but he didn't expect Lu Xin to come to him.
Shopkeeper Xu pretended to be calm and went up to greet him: "Shopkeeper Lu, what brought you here? When will your shop open?
When the time comes, I will definitely come to support you!"
After that, Shopkeeper Xu invited Lu Xin to the private room inside, which Shopkeeper Xu had set up to receive important guests.
Although Lu Xin is not very old now, he is worried that Lu Xin has discovered something, so he is here to find trouble?
"No, just stand here and say it."
Lu Xin refused Shopkeeper Xu's invitation and stood at the entrance of Hongyi Pavilion.
Shopkeeper Xu was not sure what Lu Xin's purpose was, and he couldn't see Lu Xin's expression clearly. He could only keep a smile on his face.
If this kid Lu Xin wants to cause trouble, wouldn't it be easy to deal with a teenage boy based on his many years of foundation in Beitongzhou?
There was a trace of cruelty in Shopkeeper Xu's eyes. If Lu Xin refused to drink the toast and was fined, then don't blame him!
"Shopkeeper Lu, please tell me if you have any questions!"
Lu Xin smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Xu was very smart in his calculations. He sold the shop that contained the evil demon to me, and then he opened a shop here with 260,000 taels."
"How do you say this? Shopkeeper Lu, after you saw the shop and registered it with the government, we paid for it and delivered it.
Now, you are trying to blackmail me with your empty words?"
Shopkeeper Xu glared at Lu Xin fiercely, his eyes full of contempt.
Shopkeeper Xu's voice suddenly rose to a high pitch. All the waiters in the shop heard it and came over to stand behind Shopkeeper Xu. They all rolled up their sleeves as if they were ready to fight!
Lu Xin didn't expect Shopkeeper Xu to be such a ruthless and shameless person.
"Xu Baobin, if that's the case, then let's go to the governor and ask him to make a decision!"
Lu Xin clenched his fists, turned around and left.
Xu Baobin was stunned, as if he didn't expect Lu Xin to go to Governor Zhuo!
Soon, the governor's officers and soldiers came over: "Shopkeeper Xu, could you please go to the Yamen and let the governor ask you a few words."
"That's right. I'll set off immediately. I'd like to thank you all for making the trip. This is my idea. I'm going to have a drink with you."
After saying that, the waiter on the side stuffed a piece of broken silver into the hands of the leading officer and soldier.
The other party smiled, cupped his hands, and then left first.
As soon as Xu Baobin entered the Yamen, he cried loudly and shouted that he was wronged: "Master Governor, the villain is wronged. Please make the decision for the villain!"
The villain sold him a good shop, but he actually accused him of having evil spirits. It is really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
This kid must be pretending to be a ghost to defraud villains out of their money.
The villain begs the adults to punish him for the crime of slander and restore his innocence!"
Zhuo Hanghua glanced at Xu Baobin and noticed that he was winking at him, and he already had a plan in mind.
Immediately, he said to Lu Xin: "Lu Xin, where are you from?"
"Sir, I am from Jintao County."
Zhuo Hanghua's eyes changed slightly when he heard that he was from Jintao County. It would be better if he didn't come from the imperial city.
"Snapped!"
Zhuo Hanghua suddenly slapped the gavel in his hand on the table. Everyone below was shocked by Zhuo Hanghua's official power!
"Lu Xin, why are you wearing a curtain hat in court? Why don't you take it off quickly?" Zhuo Hanghua asked.
Under the curtain, Lu Xin frowned.
Xu Baobin stood aside and said, "Sir, he must have something shameful!"
"Come on, take off his hat!"
Zhuo Hanghua gave the order, and the officers and soldiers standing on both sides of the hall immediately stepped forward, but before they could take action, Lu Xin had already taken off his curtain hat!
"!!!"
In an instant, everyone in the lobby shrank their pupils and showed disgust.
Xu Baobin had met Lu Xin several times, but he had never seen Lu Xin's true face, and was full of curiosity about Lu Xin's appearance.
When he turned his head and saw the fist-sized red and black scar on his left cheek, he blurted out "Huh~".
Although Xu Baobin didn't say much, the word "eh" was more insulting than the disgusted looks of others, and the veins on Lu Xin's forehead twitched!
Zhuo Hanghua had never seen such an ugly person, and he had an even worse impression of Lu Xin.
So he asked: "Lu Xin, when shopkeeper Xu sold the shop to you, did you ever go inside to check it out?"
"The villain has seen it."
"Have you seen the evil demon you mentioned?"
Lu Xin's expression froze. At that time, the upper and lower floors of the shop were empty, with nothing there.
"...not yet."
"Then where do you start talking about evil spirits in the shop that Shopkeeper Xu sold to you?" Zhuo Hanghua asked sharply.
Lu Xin frowned because he only discovered it after the fact.
"There are no evil monsters in the world. Lu Xin, you are making nonsense and deceiving people and slandering people's innocence at a young age!
Come on, beat Lu Xin thirty times and put him in jail!"
"yes."
"!!!"
Lu Xin was shocked. He might have lost half his life if he played the Thirty Big Board.
But before he could struggle, two burly officers and soldiers stepped forward, one of them grabbed one of his shoulders and pushed him to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, two more officers and soldiers came over with two-meter-long boards.
Lu Xin raised his head and looked at Zhuo Hanghua and asked, "Sir, which law in Dayan stipulates that someone who defames someone will be sent to prison with a thirty-year penalty?"
Zhuo Hanghua did not expect that Lu Xin, at such a young age, could actually understand the laws of Dayan.
He smiled and said: "In Beitongzhou, I am the law!
Come on, beat me, hard!"
Xu Baobin glanced sideways at Lu Xin, with a hint of disdain on his lips: You want the governor to convict me? You're talking nonsense!
Just take the punishment and die in jail!
The people watching outside the yamen gate all expressed regret: "What a pity for such a young child!"
In Beitong Prefecture, Zhuo Hanghua is the dominant one, colluding with the wealthy businessmen in the state, and anyone who goes against the wealthy businessmen will not end well!
Just when an officer and soldier raised a board to hit Lu Xin, a ray of pink light suddenly rushed in from outside the Yamen.
The officers and soldiers who raised the board felt as if the board in their hands was being resisted!
Look again, I don’t know when there was a little girl over six years old in front of me?
She was holding the board with one hand, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull the board back!
When another officer and soldier holding a board saw this, he raised the board and hit Lu Xin hard on the buttocks.
"Crack!"
This time, Yan Yiyi not only caught it, but also broke the board!!
Xu Baobin was shocked when he saw this scene. This, this girl is so strong???
Lu Xin waited for a moment, but the board didn't fall down. He turned around and said in surprise: "Little sister?"
