Chapter 179 Extortion
"Alright." Jin Changying nodded, and the two of them turned to Dongshi.

The East Market is not far away. The two of them walked for a while and arrived. From a distance, they could see that the East Market was brightly lit and people were coming and going very lively. There were also the cries of vendors on the streets. Although it was night, the people on the streets were still busy. But the number of people was no less than during the day. Liu Haoyue trotted closer and looked at Jin Changying with surprise on her face: "County Lord, it's so lively here!"

As he said that, Liu Jiaoyue walked curiously on the street like a country bumpkin who just entered the city, touching this, looking at that, it was very novel, Jin Changying followed behind Liu Jiaoyue, a little funny in his heart.

"County Lord, look at this!" Liu Haoyue walked to a stall, picked up a bunch of bells, and swung them in her hands. The bells rang "ding-ding-dong-dong" following her movements.

"Miss, this is the bracelet that women in the Western Regions love to wear most. There are spices hidden in it, which can make the lady's hands and feet smell fragrant!" The hawker at the stall saw the business, and looked Both Liu Jiaoyue and Jin Changying were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and immediately greeted them warmly.

Hearing the peddler's introduction, Liu Jiaoyue's eyes became brighter, and she turned to Jin Changying and said, "Master, this bracelet is so beautiful, Jiaoyue has never seen a bracelet with bells before, why not if Jiaoyue bought it?" Give it to the county magistrate as a gift!"

"That's not necessary. If Miss Liu likes it, she can buy it herself. I don't care about these gadgets." Jin Changying waved his hand. These things Liu Jiaoyue looked novel. What's more, Jin Changying's job is still a jewelry designer, and he usually masters the latest fashion information, like the string Liu Jiaoyue is holding, which is a bit old-fashioned for Jin Changying's aesthetics.

However, if the big ruby ​​hanging on the bracelet was removed, it would look much better. Jin Changying thought to himself that he had committed an occupational disease again, so he took the bracelet from Liu Jiaoyue's hand and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.

Originally, Liu Jiaoyue was a little disappointed when she heard Jin Changying said that she was not interested, but Jin Changying took the bracelet again, which made Liu Jiaoyue's mood soar again. She looked at Jin Changying expectantly and said, "How does the county lord feel? Doesn't it It's pretty good-looking? Runyu, pay me!" Liu Jiaoyue said, waving her hand to her maid very boldly.

Runyu nodded, took out a bag of silver from her sleeve pocket, walked up to the peddler, and asked, "How do you sell this bracelet?"

The peddler liked straightforward customers like Liu Jiaoyue, and immediately said happily: "It's not expensive, it's only 50 taels of silver!"

On the side, Jin Changying just took a look at the bracelet, how could it be changed to look better, who knew that Liu Jiaoyue would pay for it, and when he heard the price given by the peddler, he frowned slightly, and immediately stopped him: "No, we won't purchase."

"Don't the county lord like it?" Liu Jiaoyue was slightly taken aback.

The peddler thought he had met a big customer this time, and was about to make a big deal. Liu Jiaoyue looked like the one with a lot of money, but he didn't expect Jin Changying to stop him.

The peddler quietly looked at Jin Changying. The woman was wearing a hibiscus-colored silk brocade skirt, her slender neck and jade-like collarbone were exposed. Her hair was combed with blue silk. With a trace of inviolable nobility, her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. When she looked at the peddler, he couldn't help but look away guiltily, and bowed his head in shame.

Jin Changying makes people feel graceful and mysterious, but what she said is very tricky, which does not match her noble temperament at all, "Such a broken bracelet, tell me, it costs 50 taels of silver? Why don't you go grab it?" ?”

"Uh..." The peddler was already a little guilty, but now he couldn't lift his head when Jin Changying asked him.

"County Lord, this thing is quite beautiful. It was transported from the Western Regions. It will inevitably cost some manpower and financial resources, and it is inevitable to sell it more expensive." Round the field.

Jin Changying snorted coldly, glanced at Liu Jiaoyue, raised his hand and poked Liu Jiaoyue's forehead with his index finger, and said angrily: "If he said that it was brought from the Western Regions, you will believe it? Even if it is really a thing from the Western Regions, it is so crudely made. Even if it's given to Ms. Ben, Ms. Ben still feels awkward, what kind of black dealer dares to sell it for such a high price, see if I don't blow up your stall!" Jin Changying said, her voice became higher and higher, and she looked at the peddler with aggressive eyes.

"Miss, let's... let's do a small business...you don't want to buy it, what are you doing to me as a peddler..." The peddler was very wronged, he just looked at Liu Jiaoyue and Jin Changying's clothes. Usually, he thought that if he could blackmail a fortune, he would not use it to set up a stall all year round, but he was exposed by Jin Changying face to face, and his legs were trembling with fright, and he was a little unsteady when he stood.

"Embarrassing? You are such a broken bracelet, selling 50 taels of silver, how dare you say that the county lord is embarrassing you?! Believe it or not, I will ask someone to put you in the prison. Then I will see how you can deceive people in the prison!" Jin Jin Changying said sharply.

The movement at the stall here was not small. The vendors and customers at the stall next to it all looked here, looking at Jin Changying curiously.

The peddler heard Jin Changying say "my county lord" and thought that Liu Jiaoyue had just called Jin Changying the county lord. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "County lord... County lord, please spare me! That's right! The little one was just infatuated for a while, and that's why...that's why...the little one never dares again!"

"It's a broken thing! How dare you sell it for 50 taels! I think you are looking for a beating!" Some of the finely crafted jewelry in her shop are sold for less than 50 taels. This peddler is crazy about money and bullies They don't understand the market!
"The county lord, please forgive me... The county lord, please spare my life..." The peddler knelt on the ground and kowtowed, fearing that Jin Changying would really send him to jail in a fit of anger, "I can't help it, my little one. There are young and old, and the young have no choice but to do it..."

Pedestrians who watched the excitement gathered around and pointed at Jin Changying and Liu Jiaoyue. These people went in without knowing it. They only saw that Jin Changying and Liu Jiaoyue were dressed luxuriously, and there were many people, while the small businessman was alone. If they are weak alone, then the two of them must be bullying others.

Seeing the peddler kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Liu Jiaoyue felt a little soft-hearted, and pleaded with Jin Changying: "Master, forget it, this peddler just wants to make more money to support his family. , this time he knew he was wrong, and next time he will not dare to deceive people like this again, so the county lord should not be so fussy with him."

"What do you mean by wanting to make more money? If he wants to make more money, he can deceive people? Even the magistrate of this county thinks it's too expensive for a tael of silver. He even dares to open his mouth and sell it for 50 taels. I think He doesn't want to live anymore!" Jin Changying became more and more angry as he spoke, wishing he could slap the peddler.
