Jie Lan knew Qi Xue's intentions, she didn't want to see the two closest to her meet each other, so why should she make her feel embarrassed and sad. Jie Lan turned her head and walked to the seat by the window. Qi Xue put the pastry in front of her and smiled.
03The City of Hell
Jielan looked like a stubborn child. She never looked back at Chengfeng from beginning to end, and Chengfeng leaned to the side, her cold appearance like a stone carving, her curve never changed.
After the two of them had finished their meal, the shopkeeper came to collect the money: "The two are used up? A total of one or two silver." The shopkeeper's expectant eyes shined brightly, and his impatient expression could not conceal his eagerness.
Jie Lan was suddenly a little embarrassed. Since she left the village, she has had little money left. How can she get a couple of silver? She looked at Qi Xue, Qi Xue shook her head: "You know, more than a hundred This is the first time I have left Xueling Mountain in this year."
Jie Lan frowned. She looked at the shopkeeper apologetically, and said in a low voice: "Sorry, boss, I didn't bring enough money when I came out, or I owe it first, I'll make it up later."
The shopkeeper’s face sank immediately: "Girl, are you kidding me, I'm a small business, I'm still waiting for the money to save my life."
"Help? It's such a serious matter, isn't it just this little silver." Qi Xue returned angrily.
"You are not the people in this city. Alas, today is the deadline for paying taxes. If I can't pay fifty taels of silver, my inn will be confiscated and sealed up, or I will be arrested and sent to jail. The few nobles should be pitiful and pity me, don’t make fun of me.” The shopkeeper’s expression was solemn, and he didn’t seem to be lying anymore, plus that Wuluan had already mentioned taxes last night, so Qi Xuejielan would naturally. Believe it, but even so, how can she give it up.
Qi Xue curled her long hair with her fingers, and looked a little nonchalant: "What's the matter? This store is closed. It's not bad to go to jail. It feels quite fresh."
Her words completely angered the shopkeeper, and he said angrily: "You people born in noble family only know pleasure, you don't understand the suffering of our people, huh, I don't care today, if you can't get it out, I'm not polite to you."
"Then what do you want?" Qi Xue obviously did not give in.
"Do you know how our city treats criminals? I just need to report you, I'm afraid you will never get out of prison in your life."
"Don't you just owe some silver? Who do you want to scare?"
"Don't believe it? Do you know the name of our other city in Chiyan City? It's called the City of Sin Prison. Anyone who commits a crime will never come back alive again. I only need to report you to the official office here, and you will wait to walk up. The road to hell!"
Qi Xue was a little shocked at how vicious he was, but soon became angry, "I didn't expect you old man to be so vicious. Are you cursing us to hell?"
The old man suddenly saw Qi Xue whose eyes were cold because of his anger, and suddenly became frightened. He saw patrol officers and soldiers passing by outside the store, and hurriedly ran toward them, yelling: "Demon... Monster!"
