Chapter 429: Chapter 431 How did you offend him?_1

Xue Ling was ready to fight as well: "That’s right, I dare anyone to try and close my shop. See if I don’t make them regret it!"

Nan Feng glanced at Xue Ling. When did this become her shop?

One of the taller constables didn’t pay any attention to Xue Ling. He just wanted to quickly put up the closure seal and complete his job, but before he had a chance to act, Xue Ling grabbed him. With a "crack", his arm was dislocated and the man instantly cried out in pain.

Xue Ling coldly asked again: "Let’s see who else dares to close down my store. This one just got his arm broken, the next will have a broken leg!"

Nan Feng couldn’t help but watch Xue Ling, Jianghu folks indeed had their unique ways of solving problems. No useless chatter, they go straight in for the fight.

Fighting might not be the best solution, but seeing the shop on the verge of being closed, should they just wait for others to bully them?

Nan Feng coldly looked at Ruan Ye, and then pointed at Xue Ling, saying: "My friend here used to be among the Jianghu a couple of years ago. Her martial arts are first-rate, she holds great contempt for all men. If anybody dares to provoke her, she’ll break their hands and feet. The notorious ’Ghost that brings misery upon sight’ that used to be rumored about in Jianghu, that’s her. I advise you all to stay away from her unless you want to end up with broken limbs."

Nan Feng was very proud of herself, even in these circumstances, she still had the heart to tease Xue Ling.

As soon as she finished speaking, a constable who had been eager to move forward was immediately frightened into stepping back.

Xue Ling glared at Nan Feng. After Nan Feng’s comment, wouldn’t all men avoid her from now on?

But she didn’t care. She only had Long San in her heart, all the other men could stay as far away from her as they wanted. So, Xue Ling crossed her arms over her chest and glared fiercely at the men standing before her.

Ruan Ye, looking at the situation inside the shop, eased his expression somewhat then looked at Nan Feng and said: "Lady, regardless of whether you’re the ’Ghost that brings misery upon sight’ or ’God that brings misery upon sight’, this shop is going to be closed. If it can’t be closed today, I’ll come again tomorrow, and if it can’t be closed tomorrow, I’ll come again the day after. It would be better for you to stop resisting. There’s no good in going against the authorities. If you hurt someone, you’ll end up with a wanted poster, making you a rat crossing the street and everyone will be after you."

Nan Feng’s heart skipped a beat.

But she refused to admit defeat: "Isn’t this blatant bullying from you? Yes, I can’t fight against you authorities, but now that you’ve said this, the whole thing is clear. The license is just your excuse, the evidence is in your Yamen, if you say it doesn’t exist, then it doesn’t. But you have to tell me the truth, who wants to close my shop?"

The Yamen would not close a shop without reason. After all, Nan Feng’s shop had to pay taxes. The better her business, the more taxes she would pay, especially as an out-of-town merchant, she had to register every time she entered and exited the dock. The more goods she brought, the higher the taxes she would pay.

It was only with evidence from the dock that Long San had been able to severely counterattack Wan Fengzhen.

Therefore, those who didn’t want Nan Feng to continue her business were not the authorities, but some local bullies and power-mongers.

Other businesses in the same line of work were the most likely culprits.

Nan Feng never thought she would encounter this sort of merchant in the County, she thought to herself that it was indeed hard for the commoners to run a business.

Perhaps it was a trace of compassion, but Ruan Ye actually offered a kind-hearted reminder to Nan Feng: "Lady, this is a person you simply cannot afford to offend. You better let us close the shop for now. As for what you want to do afterwards, that’s up to you. I don’t know what kind of bad luck you’ve caught, to have roused such a figure."
