Chapter 53: The Herbalist is Charming (Fifty)
Leng Yu: "Madam, take this money and I hope you can buy other things."
Leng Yu looked at the lady. Her clothes were not very good, but they were not bad either. Although she was not very good-looking, her clothes were simple and elegant, which was pleasing to the eye. She also had a pair of beautiful eyes. Her slightly annoyed look made her look quite charming. He did not dislike this woman. Since the chestnuts were already in his hands, there was no need to fight and kill her.
Leng Yu put the silver on the counter of the shop and pulled Murong Xing away.
Murong Xing obediently let Leng Yu hold her hand and turned back to give her an apologetic smile.
Qingli: "I really won't sell it!"
She looked at the two people walking away, feeling a little angry. What a forced sale! She didn't expect that her first encounter with the male and female protagonists would be like this!
That's right, when she saw the male lead's appearance, she immediately asked the system Qiqi, and Qiqi said they were the male and female protagonists! Coupled with the female lead's address to the male lead, she was even more certain.
The old man advised from the side.
The old man said: "Madam, don't be angry. These two people are obviously outstanding. The young man is holding a sword and the young lady has a whip on her waist. They are people of the martial arts world. It is best not to offend them."
The old man said: "Although the security in Linyu Prefecture is relatively good, it is hard to say whether the other party will take action."
The old man said: "Swords have no eyes! It's better to have less trouble than more. We common people should not bother with them. Madam is so brave that she is not afraid of that young man!"
Qingli: "Oh? What do you mean, old man? Why should I be afraid of them?"
The old man said: "Well, actually he treated you quite well, and he even left some money for you. But he is not a gentle person, and I dare not confront him, for fear of being attacked by a knife!"
After hearing what the old man said, Li Li raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Qingli: "Then I should thank him? For not killing me?"
The old man said, "Isn't it? The young man came to buy snacks for the girl last time, but he met the son of a minor official. He fell in love with the girl and said he wanted to marry her."
Old man: “Guess what?”
The old man took out a box of snacks and let her take it herself.
Qingli: "Did that man beat her up?"
The old man shook his head.
The old man said: "The man just pushed her away and said he was the girl's fiancé. They made their purchase and left."
Qingli: "So simple?"
The old man shook his head before telling the truth.
The old man said: "They left, but the man collapsed. I quickly asked for help from a passing patrol. Later I heard that the son of the minor official was paralyzed!"
Qingli: "What? So vicious? And such powerful martial arts?"
The old man said: "That's right! That minor official's son, at such a young age, is already a scholar. I heard he's going to take the imperial examination next year, and the teacher said there's no problem at all. Now his whole life is ruined!"
The old man said: "And when their family members came to the door, they didn't even get to see them, and their men sent them back with bruises and bruises on their faces. What a sin!"
Qingli: "Is this... hopeless for revenge? The government won't do anything about it?"
The old man said: "Manage? How? These gangsters are hard to control. Besides, who saw the man hurting anyone? They can only swallow this loss in silence. And I think the officials are quite respectful to the man."
Hearing this, Li Li paused as she was about to taste the osmanthus cake. It seemed like this old man knew a lot.
Old man: "Ah...what a world!"
Qingli: "Do you know their identities, old man?"
Old man: “How should I know?”
She looked at the old man with a smile, but said nothing.
The old man: "Okay, okay. It's okay to tell you, but don't go out and tell anyone else! Come closer so that no one can hear you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Li stepped forward a little.
The old man leaned his hands on the cabinet, walked closer to the outside, and began to talk about his discovery with a beaming face.
The old man said: "That man is called Leng Yu, and he seems to be a leader of some sect. That girl is called Murong Xing, and her father seems to be the owner of some manor. The last time she came here, it seemed that her brother came to inquire about her whereabouts. Her brother is also a handsome man! Much gentler than Leng Yu!"
The old man said: "They came to Linyu Mansion to visit someone sick, and they also wanted to see the Sword Saint. It's been a few days, I guess they have already met the Sword Saint."
