Painted Skin: Girl Monster Hunter

343. Ask for a Cup of Tea

They sat down in the tea shop and called out, "Boss! Two bowls of tea!"

"Okay!" The boss hurriedly picked up the pot, and was about to pour tea for the two of them. When he saw that it was the two of them, he was taken aback. He let go of his hand, and the teapot fell to the ground with a bang, splashing water all over the ground. Medicinal tea foam.

The customers in the store complained one after another, left tea money and left.

In the tea shop, there were only three of them left.

Bai Qinghan chuckled, but his eyes were very cold: "What are you panicking about?"

"I...accidentally..." The owner of the tea shop panicked and began to clean up the medicinal tea residue on the ground.

Ruyi stopped him, but reached out and grabbed a handful from the pile of scum and put it on the table: "Boss, the reason why your tea tastes sweet is because of ordinary tea leaves, honeysuckle, cloud grass, and incense sticks, right?"

The shop owner was already sweating, and he replied, "Yes... yes."

"Did you miss one thing?" Ruyi asked, "Why did you forget to mention the most important medicinal material? And 'Hundred Step Mihun Powder'? The secret recipe was stolen?"

When the boss heard this, his legs softened and he sat on the pool of tea.

He is not young anymore, and he said with tears in his eyes: "I... I'm confused... I'm confused..."

Unlike the three who were thrown into officialdom after being slapped, the shop owner didn't beg the two to let him go, he just sat where he was, crying and confessing.

"Ganning City has too many miscellaneous taxes. The government finds a name to collect taxes when there is nothing to do. Food tax, safety tax...the tax collected is more than the money earned... I originally opened a small shop in the city to sell herbal tea , but... the government has made such a move, how can the business go on... once my son, wife and daughter encouraged... I... I did something stupid... woo woo woo..."

The store owner stretched out his hands and handed them in front of the two: "You guys arrest me quickly and send me to the government. Ever since I started doing this shameful thing, I can't sleep well every night..."

Ruyi softened her heart and said, "Maybe you promise that you will never do such harmful things again?"

The shop owner nodded and said, "No matter who instigates it again, I will never do it again."

"Ganning City has heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so you don't need to pay taxes to set up a tea stall on this official road. If you work hard, you will always gain something." Ruyi said.

"What the girl said is... that is true... When I get out of the prison... I must... I must do it well..."

Seeing his sincerity, the two thought they had already punished his sons and daughters, so they decided to let him go.

Bai Qinghan said: "Old man, you should remember it well. This time we will be merciful. If we commit the crime again, we will definitely not forgive you. You should close the stall quickly today. Your children have been seriously injured."

The two left after talking.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and kowtowed three times to the backs of the two of them.

After this happened, the two of them didn't plan to stay any longer, they worked hard day and night, and finally arrived at Gan Ning City in the evening of the second day.

Both of them were tired and planned to go into the city to have a good meal and find a good inn to sleep in. But they were stopped by the guards at the city gate before entering the city.

"Stop, stop." The guard yelled.

Ruyi and Bai Qinghan were full of doubts, thinking that their appearance did not look like a heinous person, so why should they be stopped.

"This military lord, what is it?" Ruyi asked politely.

"Before entering the city, you have to pay the city fee, ten coppers." The guard said with a piece of thatch in his mouth, baring his yellow teeth.
