"What's going on? What happened downstairs?"

Zhang Nishang got up and went to the window sill on the second floor to look around.

I saw a woman running for her life in front of me, and a group of people, led by a handsome man wearing white clothes, chased the woman.

The woman looked panicked and ran towards the location of the tavern.

Because the woman was too fast, those in front of her who had no time to dodge were knocked to the ground by her.

Yellings, scoldings, laughter and taunts abounded.

"It's true that the world is in decline and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be!"

"Chasing and flirting with women in the street, is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morals?"

Zhang Nishang clicked his tongue as he looked at the farce downstairs.

If she had that ability, she could go and take care of it.

Now she can't protect herself, let alone meddle in other people's business.

"Let's go, stop looking, or you'll get burned!"

Nangong Yaya came to Zhang Nichang and pulled her away.

As for what happened downstairs, she didn't look at it at all.

She has seen too many such things.

It's nothing more than a kid from a rich family who falls in love with a girl, and then the girl doesn't agree, and then there's a drama of running away and chasing him.

The main reason why she disguised herself as a man was because of this.

Although she is still young, this cannot hide her stunning face.

"Shopkeeper, check out!"

Zhang Nichang was pulled to the counter by Nangong Yaya.

"Two female guests, a total of twenty taels of silver."

The shopkeeper looked at the two women in front of him with a smile on his face and a pleased expression on his face.

Although he didn't know why these two women disguised themselves as men, that wasn't what he was still concerned about.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Zhang Nichang's heart tightened, and then she glanced at Nangong Yaya.

Seeing the confusion, puzzlement and disbelief on Nangong Yaya's face, Zhang Nichang quickly said: "Shopkeeper, your eyes are not good. You see clearly, I am a man!"

"Yes, yes, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault that I'm dim-sighted. Please forgive me."

People were coming and going in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper had seen too many customers. He could tell them at a glance whether they were men or women.

Since the guest chooses to conceal his identity, why should he be the bad guy? Just follow the customer's wishes.

Hearing the shopkeeper's apology, Zhang Nichang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she glanced at Nangong Yaya again.

Seeing Nangong Yayana's expression gradually returning to calmness, Zhang Nichang wiped away a cold sweat.

‘It was so dangerous just now, I almost exposed my secret. Fortunately, the shopkeeper didn't continue talking, otherwise I wouldn't know how to end it. ’

Zhang Nichang just raised his hand and patted his chest, then put it down again.

‘Damn, these two lumps of flesh are really in the way! From now on, I can no longer pat my chest as I did before. ’

Zhang Nishang complained in his heart.

She had just forgotten that she was a woman.

Just now, she slapped her chest a little too hard, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.

The position of the chest is now stiffened, and every move can bring a different feeling to oneself.

She doesn't know what to do now.

She could only tell herself in her heart, hypnotizing herself and calming her agitated emotions.

Zhang Nichang took a deep breath and watched Nangong Yaya take out her wallet and start paying.

Nangong Yaya opened her purse and was stunned when she saw that it was empty.

She rubbed her eyes, put her purse in front of her eyes, and began to observe carefully.

After repeated confirmations, Nangong Yaya was completely desperate.

Zhang Nishang, who was calming down next to her, also saw Nangong Yaya's changing expression, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged in her heart.

"Yaya, what's wrong?"

Zhang Nichang was talking, but her eyes never left the purse in Nangong Yaya's hand.

"See for yourself!"

Nangong Yaya said, handing her purse to Zhang Nichang with a look of despair.

The laws of Daxia are very strict. Especially for people with broken households like them, the strictness of the law can completely drive them both to a dead end.

'It's over now. If I had known this was the case, I should have brought some money with me when I went out...'

‘I hope I won’t be sold to a brothel or something like that! ’

According to the laws of Daxia Kingdom, freeloading is equivalent to selling oneself for a living.

If you don't have enough money on you to pay for the meal at the time, the tavern keeper has the right to sell freeloaders to pay for the meal.

As for the money left after selling oneself, it belonged to the Daxia court.

In the case of being a freeloader and being trafficked, the Daxia court allowed his family to redeem his life.

This is also a situation where the court considers that someone might forget to bring money when they go out.

Of course, the ransom is double what you sold yourself for!

This is also the reason why the tavern owner didn't stop Nangong Yaya from entering the restaurant to eat when he saw her wearing a beggar's costume.

"How could this happen? Where did the money go?"

Zhang Nichang looked at the empty wallet with a look of disbelief on his face.

When she decided to come for dinner, Yaya told herself how severe the punishment would be for freeloading in Daxia Kingdom.

If she couldn't pay the fee, Zhang Nichang didn't want to think about the consequences waiting for her.

After being trafficked, it would be good if she could become a maid of a wealthy family.

At the very least, wealthy families usually let their maids go home when they are forty years old.

But if I were sold to a brothel...

Just thinking about it made Zhang Nichang feel extremely nauseous.

"Brother, do you still remember the person who bumped into you when we came out of the pawn shop?"

"If nothing else, the wallet was transferred at that time."

After Nangong Yaya thought for a while, she suddenly remembered that her elder brother was hit by someone at the door of the pawn shop.

At that time, she thought that the other party just bumped into her eldest brother accidentally, but now it seems that the situation may not be that simple.

The other party is trying to kill his eldest brother and himself!

The secret guard who hit the man said: This is none of my business. The pawnshop owner ordered me to do everything and it has nothing to do with me. If you want to find someone to settle accounts with, you can go to him...

"Boy, what's going on? But what's the problem?"

The shopkeeper also saw the two women's actions, and with his clear mind, he instantly understood the problem the two women were facing.

It's just that my wallet was stolen, and now I have no money to pay for the meal, so I want to eat for free.

But what does this have to do with him?

If you don’t have money to pay for the meal, just grab it and sell it.

The shopkeeper said that he was familiar with this matter!

"Shopkeeper, can you give me a little more time? Our wallet was stolen, can you let us go back and get some money?"

Zhang Nichang bit her lip and said pitifully.

"I'm sorry, girl, this is a restaurant, not a charity hall. This is also a small business and I don't accept credit!"

"Someone, arrest them."

At the glance of the shopkeeper, the waiters in the tavern had already surrounded Zhang Nichang and the two of them.

After hearing the shopkeeper's order, they started to take action directly.

"Ah, you all go away and don't touch me!"

Seeing the hands reaching out to her from all directions, Zhang Nichang chose not to sit still and wait for death, she wanted to resist.

"Wow, there are so many people, what should I do if I can't beat them? Is there anyone here to save me?"

Zhang Nichang looked at the big hand that was getting closer and closer to her, and she immediately gave up resisting, imagining in her heart that there would be some kind person who could help her.

Her eyes swept around, and when she saw the people next to her looking at her with a mocking attitude, she closed her eyes in despair.

Just when Zhang Nichang closed his eyes, a big hand wrapped around him directly from behind, pressed against his chest, and took him away from the crowd.

If Zhang Nichang didn't feel wrong, then she would have pinched herself a bit...
