"This matter is purely a misunderstanding. If you don't believe it, you can ask that girl. It was me who saved her in the bamboo forest and saved her from being tainted by prostitutes and thieves."
When the official in front of him mentioned the crime of raping a young girl, Chen Feng immediately thought that Yin Zhishan might have been discovered, and then the inn owner and his waiter reported the case to the government.
"She hasn't woken up yet and is staying in the hospital to rest."
"Then how can we prove that both of us are guilty? When she wakes up, you will know as soon as you ask. It would be a bit unreasonable to arrest someone now without any evidence." Chen Feng argued.
When he first arrived, Chen Feng still understood the principle that a strong dragon should not overwhelm a local snake.
When doing business, only by being friendly can you make money. Using swords and guns is called conquest and plunder.
"I have other witnesses that can prove your guilt!"
The official's eyes were always wandering back and forth on the gold. He waved behind him, and the boss inn who was hiding in the crowd was forcibly pulled out and asked to confront Chen Feng face to face.
"Did you report to the police that he had raped a young girl, causing him to fall into coma and almost die?"
"Yes, these two guests came to my shop to have dinner with sacks on their shoulders. They spent a lot of money. They didn't give me any copper coins, they just gave away gold nuggets. After they were full of wine and food, they even opened a guest room upstairs. I saw
They were dressed strangely, so they became suspicious and sneaked into the room with the waiter to find out the reason.
It doesn't matter, the girl is lying on the bed, her face is rosy and her breathing is weak, as if she has just had sex."
"Don't talk nonsense about this without any basis. If I really did that kind of thing, how could I still dare to set up a street stall?"
"Set up a stall?" The official interrupted him, "What are you selling? Gold? Silver. Did you know that these things can be exchanged for currency in equal amounts, which means you are reselling coins.
Even if you are not found guilty of adultery, reselling national currency is still a serious crime and you will be put in jail pending trial. All the stolen goods should be confiscated and put into the government treasury."
After saying that, the two officers and soldiers, carrying the shackles, walked towards Chen Feng.
Shuang Yi, who was beside him, held the scabbard of his sword in front of him, and the sword energy swept past him. Several officers and soldiers were knocked to the ground and could not get up.
"Is this? Do you want to resist law enforcement? The penalty will be increased to one level."
The official tightened his grip on the handle of the knife with some trepidation, squeezed his sweat, and pretended to be calm, "Don't be arrogant. In addition to the more than 40 elite head catchers in Yunhai Town, we also have more than 200 officers and soldiers..."
brush!
Shuang Yi swung his sword again and knocked the hat off the official's head, "If you dare to talk too much, I will cut your throat with the next sword."
"A slutty girl? Do you think I'm unattractive, so my man hooks up with other girls who are still young?"
Shuang Yi took off her robe, revealing a pair of slender white legs, and stepped on the officer's chest with her heels, "Is that what you mean?"
"No...I didn't know he was your husband. I made a mistake in my judgment..."
The heel of the shoe dug deeply into the officer's flesh, and bright red blood oozed out along the wound, staining his official uniform red, and the pain made him quickly beg for mercy.
The woman in front of me has a delicate face, fair skin, and a pretty face that is harmless to humans and animals, but she is very fierce when she moves to kill her.
"As for reselling currency, if you like, these gold and silver can be given to you, why bother to accuse us of unwarranted charges?" Shuang Yi inserted the Long Yuan Sword on the floor tile only a few feet away from the official's neck.
"Shuangyi, stop! Don't hurt your life."
Chen Feng quickly intervened to stop her, grabbed the sword, and then helped the official up, "I am a spoiled daughter-in-law, and I have such a bad temper. I have to ask for your forgiveness!"
"Both of us are from the capital of the country, the capital of the Xueyue Empire. We got lost while passing through here. We didn't have any coins with us, so we were forced to make this move." Chen Feng stuffed the gold piece after piece into the officer's pocket.
"Understand, understand!"
The official wiped his forehead like a frightened deer. If the sword deflected just half an inch, his head would have moved.
The trouser legs kept dripping water, soaking the floor tiles.
I don’t know if it’s sweat? Or urine?
"When the girl wakes up, you will find out the truth when you ask. As for reselling currency, how can it be called reselling currency? This is obviously changing money. Who hasn't had an emergency?"
"What you are saying is that I am blind."
The official coughed twice. He originally wanted to show off, but when he turned his head and saw Shuang Yi's red pupils, he was so frightened that he quickly changed his words.
"Then..." Chen Feng picked up the jade bracelet and stuffed it into the officer's pocket.
"Just pretend it never happened. You can continue setting up the stall and I won't bother you."
The official turned around, glared at the innkeeper and the waiter, and said to them indifferently: "These two reported false cases, which delayed the government's handling of the case. They were dragged to the street and will be punished for thirty times."
"It's so worthless. This small town of theirs, combined, may not be a match for you and me. Why should we give in?" Shuang Yiyu clasped her hands on her chest and muttered a few words of complaint.
"Why do you have to massacre a city when you can solve the problem in just a few words?"
After everyone from the government had left the market, Chen Feng was just about to pack up and run away.
But the crowd of onlookers in front of him seemed to have no intention of leaving.
Originally, these people thought that Chen Feng was a charlatan who used fake gold to exchange for real copper coins, so they didn't even bother to glance here even if they were passing by.
But after the official made such a fuss, he actually helped the stall with free advertising to confirm that these were genuine gold and silver.
Committing such a serious crime, it can be settled in a few words. Most people cannot do this.
"Hey, boss, can five thousand copper coins really be exchanged for one tael of gold?" someone asked dubiously.
After all, according to Snow Country's exchange rate, even one tael of low-quality gold can be exchanged for ten thousand copper coins at a minimum. The gold in front of you is shiny and lustrous, like pure gold that has been refined to a high purity. Generally, only the royal family is worthy of possessing gold of this size.
Seeing that the business was about to open, Chen Feng patted his chest and promised: "I, Mr. Chen, have traveled all over the country and north, and the most important thing is reputation. One price, no bully, five thousand copper coins can be exchanged for one or two."
Gold or a pound of silver, that's all there is to offer, first come, first served, while stocks last."
As soon as Chen Feng said these words, the crowd dispersed in all directions and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Um, did I just say something wrong?" Chen Feng scratched his head and asked Shuang Yi beside him. She shrugged her shoulders, expressing confusion.
But not long after, the onlookers came back again, dragging their families and carrying several bags of copper coins to trade with Chen Feng.
A bag of small gold nuggets and a small amount of emerald agate were exchanged for twenty sacks of copper coins.
Chen Feng took these copper coins and bought ginseng, snow lotus and other precious herbs along the street. They were light in weight and easy to carry. He planned to hire a few more cartmen to transport the copper plates and goods to the seaside.
