The female catcher asked coldly, and there was silence in the place.

Shangguan Feiyan reacted very quickly and immediately rushed to Lin Xiao's side, crying: "Sir, these people want to rob us of our money, and they also use words to humiliate us. Grandpa and I depend on each other. Grandpa is already eighty. He finally hunted and was bullied by them... You have to make the decision for us!"

She hugged Lin Xiao and cried so hard that Lin Xiao could hardly hold back his laughter.

This little girl acts like a charm.

He also hunched his back in cooperation, coughed twice, and looked old.

The female catcher looked at Xiong Tian and the others, her eyes even colder: "How dare you rob someone in the street in broad daylight?"

Xiong Tian quickly cried out: "They were the ones who struck first, and my brother's hand was cut!"

The thin man covered his bleeding arm and wailed, "Yes, Lord Official, look at my hands..."

"If you don't take it by force, others will do it?" The female detective's voice was clear, "Is it possible that we only allow you to rob, and the people are not allowed to resist?"

These words made Lin Xiao feel more fond of the female detective, and he quickly agreed: "The official officer is right, the little old man is forced to have no choice..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiong Tian knew that he would not get any favors today, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, okay, let's go!"

He glared at Lin Xiao and left angrily with his men.

The thin man howled as he walked, and blood dripped all the way.

The female detective then turned around and said to Lin Xiao: "Old man, are you not scared?"

"It's okay. Thank you, Lord Official, for rescuing the siege." Lin Xiao held his hand, "May I ask your surname?"

"Leng Yue." The female catcher clasped her fists, "It is our duty to protect the safety of the people."

"Well said!" Shangguan Feiyan applauded.

Leng Yue smiled, gave a few more instructions, and then left.

When she walked away, Lin Xiao put away the stall, smiled at Shangguan Feiyan and said, "It looked very similar to her just now."

"I didn't act." Shangguan Feiyan snorted, but there was pride in his eyes.

After the two of them packed up, Lin Xiao drove the carriage and found a clean restaurant in the city.

"Duck blood vermicelli soup, two bowls." Lin Xiao sat down and ordered another plate of beef with soy sauce and a plate of green vegetables.

The hot vermicelli soup was served. The soup was milky white, tender and smooth with duck blood, and fragrant.

Shangguan Feiyan was hungry all morning and ate hard. She was so hot that she couldn't stop breathing.

Lin Xiao ate more slowly, his eyes scanning the street from time to time.

After finishing the bowl of soup, Shangguan Feiyan sighed contentedly and actually burped.

She blushed, covered her mouth and whispered: "Shall we... go back?"

"It's hard to come here and take a look around." Lin Xiao paid the money, stood up and said, "Let's go and buy something."

"What to buy?"

"Bu."

Cloth Shop is not far away. It doesn't have a big appearance, but it has a complete range of materials.

From burlap to fine cotton, to silk and satin, each piece is neatly coded.

The landlady is a woman in her thirties, with a plump figure and a pretty face. When she sees the guests coming in, she greets them with a smile: "Two guests, what do you want to pull?"

"Take two pieces of fine green silk and choose one piece of ripe satin." Lin Xiao said.

The landlady was startled and looked at the two of them carefully.

The old man was dressed simply, and the little girl was pretty, but she didn't look like someone from a wealthy family.

Both green silk and satin are not cheap, so how can ordinary people afford to buy them?

"Does the guest really want so much?" she asked tentatively.

"Seriously." Lin Xiao nodded, "There are many people in the family, so you can settle the score."

The landlady was doubtful, so she took the piece of cloth and dialed the abacus: "One piece of green silk is eighty taels, two pieces are one sixteen taels, and one piece of ripe satin is one fourteen taels, a total of thirty taels."

Shangguan Feiyan was stunned when he heard this, and quietly tugged on Lin Xiao's sleeve: "It's too expensive..."

Lin Xiao's expression didn't change, he took out ten taels of silver and put it on the cabinet: "The shopkeeper will prepare it first. I will pick it up later and settle the balance then."

When the lady boss saw the real money, she immediately burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, I'll wrap it up for you!"

After leaving the cloth shop, Shangguan Feiyan couldn't help but said: "Old man, we only earned fifty taels in total, and you only spent thirty taels on cloth. It's such a waste..."

"Don't waste it. Those clothes you are wearing should have been changed long ago." Lin Xiao said generously.

Shangguan Feiyan lowered her head, tugged at the corner of her clothes that had turned white after washing, and whispered: "You can still wear it after washing..."

"Wear new ones." Lin Xiao patted her head and jumped on the carriage, "Let's go to Dongshi."

The East Market is a place where livestock and poultry are bought and sold.

As soon as we entered, the crowing of chickens and ducks merged into one, and the smell was also overwhelming.

But if you look carefully, you can see that the chickens, ducks and geese are all wilted and have dull feathers. They are obviously hungry.

In years of famine, when people don’t have enough to eat, how can there be any food left to feed them?

Lin Xiao walked around several stalls and stopped in front of a stall selling geese.

There are about twenty big white geese in the bamboo cage. Although they are thin, their feathers are still thick.
