343. Ask for a Cup of Tea

The two of them sat down in the tea shop and called out: "Boss! Here are two bowls of tea!"

"Okay!" The boss hurriedly picked up the pot and was about to pour tea for the two of them. When he saw it was the two of them, he was surprised. He let go and the teapot fell to the ground with a clang, splashing all over the floor.

Herbal tea foam.

The customers in the shop complained one after another, left their tea money and left.

There were only three of them left in the tea shop.

Bai Qinghan chuckled, but his eyes were very cold: "Why are you panicking?"

"I... accidentally..." The tea shop owner hurriedly began to clean up the medicinal tea residue on the floor.

As soon as Ruyi stopped him, he reached out and grabbed a small handful from the pile of dregs and put it on the table: "Boss, the reason why your tea tastes sweet is because it contains ordinary tea leaves, honeysuckle, cloud grass, and fragrant branches, right?"

The shop owner was already sweating on his head and answered: "Yes...yes."

"Did you forget to mention one thing?" Ruyi asked, "Why did you forget to mention the most important medicinal ingredient? And the 'Baibu Confused Soul Powder'? Are you afraid that this medicine has been passed down from your ancestors?

Has the secret recipe been stolen?"

When the boss heard this, his legs softened and he sat down on the puddle of tea.

He was not young yet, and he said with tears streaming down his face: "I'm...confused...confused..."

Unlike the three people who were slapped and thrown into the official road, the shop owner did not beg them to let him go. He just sat there, crying and repenting.

"Ganning City imposes too many miscellaneous taxes. When the government has something to do, it just finds a way to collect taxes, food tax, safety tax... The taxes collected are more than the money earned... Originally, I just opened a small shop in the city to sell herbal tea.

, but... with the government doing this, how can we continue to do business... When my son, wife and daughter encouraged me... I... I did something stupid... wu wu wu..."

The shop owner stretched out his hands and said in front of the two of them: "You should arrest me quickly and send me to the government. I haven't been able to sleep well every night since I started doing this shameful thing..."

Ruyi softened in her heart and said, "Can you promise not to do such harmful things again from now on?"

The shop owner nodded and said, "No matter who instigates you again, I will never do it again."

"Ganning City imposes heavy taxes and heavy taxes, so you don't need to pay taxes if you set up a tea stall on this official road. If you work hard, you will always be rewarded," Ruyi said.

"What the girl said... is true... when I get out of prison... I will... I will do it well..."

Seeing his sincerity, the two of them decided to let him go, thinking that they had already punished his children.

Bai Qinghan said: "Old man, please remember that we will be merciful this time. If we do it again, we will not forgive you. You should close the stall quickly today. Your children will be seriously injured."

The two of them left after saying that.

The old man was stunned for a moment and kowtowed three times to the backs of the two of them.

After this incident, the two of them did not plan to stay any longer. They worked hard and traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Ganning City on the evening of the next day.

Both of them were tired and planned to go into the city to have a good meal and find a good inn to have a good sleep. Unexpectedly, they were stopped by the guards at the city gate before they entered the city.

"Stop, stop," the guard shouted.

Ruyi and Bai Qinghan were full of doubts, thinking that they didn't look like a heinous person, so why should they be stopped.

"This military master, I don't know what's going on?" Ruyi asked politely.

"Before entering the city, you must first pay the city fee, which is ten coppers." The guard said with a piece of thatch in his mouth and a set of yellow teeth.
