Chapter 61 of "Mountains and Rivers"
The fish seller was startled by Zhang Tingye and replied with some trembling words: "Two cents of silver per pound..." Zhang Tingmu pulled Zhang Tingye back and hugged his fists politely: "Please give us a big one." The boss hurriedly picked the largest crucian carp, put on the straw rope and handed it to Zhang Tingmu. After Ge Tangji paid the money, Lin Miao took the crucian carp from Zhang Tingmu: "If you carry it like this, the fish will die in a while. Let's change it to mine."
Zhang Tingmu handed the crucian carp to Lin Miao, and a group of people came to a snack shop again. Zhang Tingmu stopped Mu Wushuang and Zhang Tingye, patiently advised them and said, "I know you can't get angry, so I feel uncomfortable, but now we are here to buy things, not to cause trouble, so I will hold it a little bit." Then Zhang Tingmu walked into the store and looked: "How about this mung bean cake sold?" The shopkeeper smiled and greeted: "The thirty cents per pound here... I heard from the young master's accent, probably not a local, right?"
Zhang Tingmu nodded while picking things: "Yes, we are from Lingzhou." The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Tingmu and asked tentatively: "Is the young master the disciple of Jiujian Pavilion?" Zhang Tingmu nodded again, and the shopkeeper suddenly waved impatiently: "Let's go, I won't do your business." Li Yu suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you mean not to do our business?" The shopkeeper picked up a long bench and shouted: "What do you do if you don't sell it! If you don't sell it, you don't sell it, so you guys!"
Mu Wushuang pressed his eyebrows and was about to walk towards the shopkeeper. Zhang Tingmu reached out to stop Mu Wushuang, and paused and said, "Shopkeeper, you can stop doing business, but don't move too much, just go to another house." The shopkeeper raised his bench and pressed the leg of the stool with his left hand and shouted and said, "Those who scolded you are the ones who are urinating, cheating and going against your word. The thieves and prostitutes are not allowed to throw their father's things on the street..." Zhang Tingmu suddenly shook his lips and pulled out the fire knife with his backhand.
The benches and rows of shelves in the shopkeeper's hand broke in response to the sound. Mu Wushuang was stunned and hurriedly hugged Zhang Tingmu and said, "Senior Brother, don't do it!" Zhang Tingmu shouted with red eyes: "Damn it, I'm shameless, right?! What are you? Tang Ji, pay him the money first! Manzi, smash his shop!" Ge Tang Ji and Li Yu immediately responded - Ge Tang Ji took out a silver note and forced it into the hands of the shopkeeper who was already stunned: "This is two hundred taels of silver note, so you don't need to find it."
Instead of taking out the weapons, Li Yu rolled up his sleeves and walked into the store in a daze and smashed them. The shopkeeper yelled with trembling, "You... don't do anything randomly, my son is... a proud disciple from the Holy Palace..." Zhang Tingye interrupted him with a cold snorting: "Then call your son over here, show us proudly!" Lin Miao stood in the corner with a crucian carp in his hand, silently standing in the corner to watch.
At this time, many onlookers gathered outside the door, Lin Miao poked his head out and looked out, and found that Bai Yanyan led Chu Keqin and his group to walk towards this side. Lin Miao quietly reached out and pressed Zhang Tingmu's shoulder and whispered, "That Miss Bai is here again." Then Lin Miao used his ten successful efforts and pointed the shopkeeper's Zhou Mai point through Zhang Tingmu. The shopkeeper could not speak or move, and could only look at the crowd outside the door eagerly.
After Zhang Tingmu regained his rationality, he saw that Mu Wushuang and others surrounded him and immediately stuffed the fire knife into the scabbard. At the same time, Bai Yanyan had already pushed the crowd away and shouted to Mu Wushuang and others: "You guys, want to make trouble here?" Lin Miao turned around, looked at Bai Yanyan with an angry face, bowed and explained: "Miss Bai, we are just here to buy some snacks, but who knew that this boss suddenly had a strange disease. We were a mess at the moment, making this place a mess."
As he said that, Lin Miao quietly turned his left hand, and used his left finger to pick out the silver notes from the shopkeeper's hand. Then he strode to Bai Yanyan, raised the silver notes between his fingers and handed them to her: "Although it has nothing to do with us, since we have met it, we can't leave it all at once. This violates the rules of Jiujian Pavilion. Miss Bai, this is two hundred taels of silver, and I'll hand it over to the store in a while." When everyone heard that there were two hundred taels, they immediately exclaimed: Two hundred taels of silver is enough to buy several such small stores.
Bai Yanyan pinched the silver notes in Lin Miao's hand, glanced at them before nodding reluctantly: "It is a treasure notes with official seals, which are about two hundred taels. I will transfer them to the store later." Lin Miao raised his lips and smiled with a calm look on his face, then made a gesture to Mu Wushuang and the others, turned around calmly and walked towards the inn. Mu Wushuang and others also came to the street one by one, followed Lin Miao slowly.
Bai Yanyan looked at Mu Wushuang and others walking away coldly, and then brought Chu Keqin and others to the shopkeeper. Bai Yanyan looked at the shopkeeper and frowned and asked, "Senior Brother Chu, come and see?" Chu Keqin stretched out her fingers and said, "My father-in-law, Chu has offended me." Then Chu Keqin reached out and lit the shopkeeper twice, but the shopkeeper still didn't move. Chu Keqin muttered, "It seems that it wasn't being lit... Could it be a fixation technique?"
Bai Yanyan looked at the neatly broken shelves and angrily said, "No matter what method they used to trap their father-in-law, they must have used weapons here - swords or swords." Chu Keqin also glanced at the neatly cut miscellaneous goods, shook his head and said, "This break was cut by a single knife... At that time, they were a lot of people, so they couldn't be sure that it was Zhang Tingmu. The boy named Lin was very smooth and forced to put us in a row!"
Bai Yanyan looked at the motionless shopkeeper and whispered to the other disciples: "Take this father-in-law back and take care of him carefully. Miss Bai will never allow anyone to challenge the reputation of Baiding Holy Palace in Yuancheng!" Chu Keqin immediately made a gesture, and the few people around him tacitly closed the store door and took the shopkeeper to the west of the city from the back alley. Zhang Tingmu and Lin Miao walked side by side on the street. Zhang Tingmu said embarrassedly: "Brother Lin, thank you for helping you." Lin Miao smiled disapprovingly.
Li Yu squeezed between Zhang Tingmu and Lin Miao and whispered: "Mouse, if you weren't here today, we would have to fight with that evil woman!" Lin Miao lowered his eyelids and slanted Li Yu: "Of course you don't have to be afraid of them when fighting. What I'm worried about is the power of Baidingshan Palace in Shu." Mu Wushuang nodded and continued: "Rat is right. As long as the Baidingshan Palace moves its mouth, we will have to sleep on the streets. It's hard to move forward. It's better to be honest and not conflict with them head-on."
Zhang Tingmu looked around alertly and said, "That's the truth, so the strong dragon won't suppress the local snake? Besides, we are not a strong dragon..." Ge Tangji stared at Lin Miao curiously and asked, "Rat, what are you holding?" Mu Wushuang and the others noticed that Lin Miao had two more paper bags on his hands. Lin Miao smirked and explained, "Brother Ge threw so much money, I hurt you all the time-honored, so I took some osmanthus cakes, bean paste cakes, etc.."
