Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: The Fox’s Tail Finally Shows

”Not lacking people!”

He said this and turned to leave!

Someone immediately jumped out beside him, urging him strongly.

”Young master, this young lady is so pitiful!”

”You’ve got more money than you need, why not save a life?”

”Yes, what a good girl, truly pitiful!”

”Such a filial girl!”

Everyone was chiming in, as if Xia Tingfeng would be committing a grave crime if he didn’t buy her and couldn’t leave.

Zhao Qichen looked astonished and quickly jumped out to criticize.

”You people are being unreasonable!”

”Is it not okay if we don’t buy?!”

”Our money didn’t fall from the sky!”

”We spend it how we choose, it’s none of your business!”

He was a ten-year-old child, deliberately concealing his demeanor, with exaggerated gestures, embodying the image of a wealthy merchant’s unrestrained son!

His tone was poor, but he had a point.

The people couldn’t say much more, they just shook their heads and began criticizing indirectly.

”Oh! What a pitiful girl!”

”The world is going downhill!”

”Such a good girl to endure such hardships, truly...”

”No choice, some people just refuse to help!”

”The poor are too poor, the rich too rich!”

”Exactly! If you took her back and trained her for two years, what a fine girl she’d become...”

Everyone was chiming in again.

Xia Tingfeng, getting impatient, grabbed Zhao Qichen and wanted to leave.

The crowd quickly surrounded them again, babbling on and on.

Xia Tingfeng, truly ”at the end of his rope,” waved his hand broadly.

”Enough, enough!”

”I’ll pay, I’ll pay!”

The crowd cheered, the young woman wept with joy, kowtowing repeatedly.

”Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!”

”I can’t repay your life-saving grace!”

”From now on, my life is yours, even in death I’m your spirit!”

She went on with a long speech that Xia Tingfeng had no patience for.

He tossed a silver ingot and waved his hand broadly.

”No need!”

”I don’t lack people around me; use it for your father’s funeral expenses!”

The girl’s joyful face suddenly froze, trembling as she asked.

”Not lacking people?”

”Sir, young master, I can do everything, laundry, cooking, cleaning, dishwashing, all kinds of hard dirty work...”

She was eagerly explaining.

Holding the silver ingot like it was a hot potato.

Muttering to herself occasionally.

”Not lacking people? Then how can I take this money? Young master... I feel uneasy...”

Zhao Qichen finally having had enough, stepped forward and grabbed the silver.

”If you feel uneasy, then don’t take it, don’t be ungrateful!”

”Father, let’s go!”

He said this and pulled Xia Tingfeng, wanting to leave.

The people around still wanted to block them.

He was furious: ”We’ve already paid! If you dare to block us again, don’t blame me for being rude!”

The people looked at each other, unsure of what to do?!

Xia Tingfeng helplessly spread his hands and left the crowd!

What to do? What to do?

Now that the fish that bit the hook had run away, if the officials found out, they’d be in for a beating!

What to do?!!

Just as the act was about to fall apart, and they didn’t know how to continue,

The young woman suddenly got up and chased after them, kneeling before Xia Tingfeng and Zhao Qichen.

”Sir and young master, please don’t be angry!”

”I lost my head earlier; I didn’t know better; please forgive me!”

Zhao Qichen was ready to sneer, but Xia Tingfeng stopped him.

”Since it’s like this, take the silver ingot; we’ll leave! Consider it as me doing a good deed and accruing virtue, okay?”

The girl hesitated but eventually accepted it.

Just as she was about to leave, holding the silver ingot in disappointment,

Liu Shouwei, dressed plainly and patrolling diligently, appeared.

After understanding the situation,

He strode forward and praised Xia Tingfeng on the back.

”Well done!”

”This gentleman truly is a kind soul!”

”May I ask your name?”

Xia Tingfeng looked Liu Shouwei up and down, his gaze falling on the conspicuous patch on Liu Shouwei’s chest, and replied with a smile.

”My surname is Xia, originally from Jiangnan, a merchant traveling far and wide, selling goods here for the first time!”

”May I ask who you are, sir?”

Liu Shouwei quickly introduced himself.

Meanwhile, he heavily emphasized the importance of Xia Tingfeng as a merchant!

”Alas! Our place is remote and barren; people don’t see fresh goods all year round!”

”Thanks to merchants like you, we can buy new things and broaden our horizons!”

The flattery made Xia Tingfeng slightly embarrassed, and he quickly declined.

”You praise me too much, sir!”

Liu Shouwei continued his praise!

”Brother Xia, no need to be modest; since you’ve come a long way, you’re our honored guest in Yinshan City!”

”The people of Yinshan City are warm-hearted and sincere in hospitality!”

”Pardon any offense earlier; please don’t mind it, Brother Xia!”

Xia Tingfeng nodded in agreement.

”It’s just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning!”

Liu Shouwei continued the compliments.

”Brother Xia, you indeed have a generous heart, full of kindness!”

”Who is this by your side?”

Xia Tingfeng faintly smiled and introduced.

”This is my son. He’s ten years old, doesn’t progress in his studies, always misbehaving, so I brought him out to see the world!”

Liu Shouwei looked closely.

The child indeed had some resemblance, and he believed it, showering Zhao Qichen with compliments again.

Xia Tingfeng didn’t argue, simply flattering back.

”Scholar, farmer, artisan, merchant.”

Merchants have low status; naturally, they must bow and flatter when meeting an official.

Xia Tingfeng pondered and quickly thought of some good words.

He and Liu Shouwei exchanged flattery.

Through back and forth, they hit it off, feeling a sense of camaraderie.

Liu Shouwei seized the opportunity to extend an invitation.

”Where is Brother Xia staying now? I have an estate that’s been vacant. If you don’t mind its simplicity, you can move there!”

”It’s been a long time since I met someone I clicked with so well!”

”I’ll count you as a friend, how about it?!”

Xia Tingfeng secretly smiled.

Thinking to himself: The old fox finally shows his tail?

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy means victory; without entering the tiger’s den, you cannot get the cub!

Since you invited me first, don’t blame me for not being courteous.

Xia Tingfeng ’hesitated and declined’ for a while, but was ultimately persuaded by Liu Shouwei.

That evening.

The entire convoy left the inn and moved into Liu Shouwei’s estate.

The next evening.

After patrolling, Liu Shouwei left the Yamen straight for the estate!

Finally coaxing him here, the first major step was successful.

Of course, gaining trust should be next on the agenda.

Xia Tingfeng seemed to be expecting this move.

That night, he had people prepare lavishly.

The table was set with good wine and food, and the three drank together.

After a few rounds of drinks,

Liu Shouwei started slurring.

He patted Xia Tingfeng’s shoulder, and said with difficulty.

”Xia... Brother Xia!”

”You... truly... a friend met over drinks... a thousand... thousand less!”
