The tax official led a group of people to attack menacingly, and the shop was sealed up as a certainty. If there was a conflict with them in the public at this time.

Lu Xiyue narrowed her eyes, and finally gave way under the threats of the tax officer.

She has always paid her taxes on time, and these people are obviously here to find fault.

If it is true that the money is paid as the tax official said, I'm afraid there will be a next time.

The tax official sneered, looked at Lu Xiyue and said, "Little girl, you are wise."

After saying these words, he left with a group of people.

The crowd of spectators dispersed, and Mother Lu who followed behind was anxious: "Yue'er, what's going on?"

She is confident that her daughter will never do such opportunistic things.

Looking at the tax officials who were gradually drowning in the crowd, Lu Xiyue said in a serious tone, "Someone is behind our backs."

Tax officials have tax booklets.

They closed the shop so blatantly and wronged people, Lu Xiyue didn't think it was something a small tax official would have the guts to do.

In the end, taxation and other affairs were managed by the prefect of Yannan.

"Why do you want to deal with us, Yue'er, did we offend someone?"

After all, Lu's mother came from the capital, and she knows the truth that a big tree attracts wind.

Now that the family's business is doing well in everything, it is not impossible to be jealous and jealous from colleagues.

"Mother, don't worry, I have my own way."

After comforting Mother Lu, Lu Xiyue handed her over to Yingyue and asked her to send Mother Lu home safely.

She and Xiao Yunheng went to investigate the news.

The surname of Xiang, the magistrate of Yannan, has a good reputation among the people, and he has not heard of accepting bribes for the time being.

However, Lu Xiyue learned an important news from the waiter in the teahouse.

This magistrate Xiang has a little relationship with old master Sheng. Although they are not close, the two families have frequent contacts.

Xiaoer didn't want to say more.

The news that several shops were closed down was widely spread in a blink of an eye. At this juncture, no one wanted to have anything to do with her.

Lu Xiyue calmly took out a silver ingot.

It fell on the table and made a heavy sound.

Xiao Er watched, his eyes straightened.

He reached out his hand to touch the silver ingot, changed his expression of avoiding suspicion, and talked freely: "If you want to talk about the relationship between the magistrate and the old man of the Sheng family, the relationship is very deep."

"The magistrate's mother and Mr. Sheng's mother are distant cousins. When Mr. Xiang was in poverty, I heard that it was Mr. Sheng who fully sponsored the magistrate to go to Beijing for the exam. That's why he got his official position today."

How about being a waiter in a teahouse?

The gossip he heard casually can earn a lot of money, and this silver ingot is comparable to his salary for a year.

"Thank you brother, let's serve tea." Lu Xiyue pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Yunheng after dismissing the waiter.

"If this matter was ordered by the magistrate, even if we get evidence of tax payment, it will be useless."

Now that the matter has come to this point, Lu Xiyue can already confirm that the Sheng family is behind this matter.

With this level of kinship between the two families, coupled with the favor of the Sheng family, even if it wasn't ordered by the magistrate, Lu Xiyue didn't think the lord would be willing to help them.

This cuts off the nearest road at the moment.

"The Sheng family's doing this is probably not just because they want to seal up the shop and make us lose a sum of money."

Such a big effort wasted just to pay some taxes. This amount of money is a lot to ordinary people, but to them who do business, it is just a drop in the bucket.

The Sheng family must have other plans.

For Xiao Yunheng's guess, Lu Xiyue deeply agrees.

The shop was closed for a few days, and the loss for a month was not worth the money earned by the shop for three days.

These days when the shop is closed, it is right to be on vacation.

She wants to see what else the Sheng family wants to do.

The Sheng family, when they learned that Lu Xiyue had appeared in front of the shop, Mr. Sheng was shocked.

Didn't Zhao Tianmao say that Lu Xiyue was already terminally ill and couldn't even get up.

How could he appear on the street and almost have a dispute with the tax official?

He frowned, and asked uncertainly, "Is it really Lu Xiyue?"

The servant nodded: "The little one is really serious, she is indeed right, and that Young Master Xiao is also there."

Old Master Sheng let out a sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair, and waved for the boy to go out.

Lu Xiyue is fine, that's fine, let's see when this little girl comes to beg him to forgive her.

Yes, Mr. Sheng did have other purposes.

Although not everyone knows the relationship between the prefect and the Sheng family, it is not a secret in Yannan.

Lu Xiyue is a smart person, Zhao Tianmao is not around, so it can be counted that he made the move.

With the prefect here, even if she pays taxes again, he can use other excuses to seal up her shop.

What he wanted was that this stinky girl couldn't bear the loss, so she came to beg him.

In this way, he can take this opportunity to coerce the little girl to sell him the dew and the recipes for those snacks.

Of course, he is not the one who kills everything, everyone does business together, as long as Sheng Qin is driven out, from then on, he will never touch her shop again.

As for whether Zhao Tianmao would move or not, it was out of his control.

Old Master Sheng was very thorough in his calculations, but she only missed one thing, and that was her understanding of Lu Xiyue.

She is someone who would rather be broken than broken.

Besides, it is not the end of the mountain yet.

In the few days after the flower dew shop was closed down, the old man waited for his servants to report Lu Xiyue's tax payment, or news of his door-to-door visits.

However, the person sent out to inquire about the news would only know that the girl and Xiao Yunheng took the old lady out of the city for a spring outing.

Mr. Sheng: "..."

Another three days passed, and the servants sent out came back to report: "The three members of the Lu family have ordered a whole fish feast at the restaurant today, and invited the servants from the whole family to dinner."

Mr. Sheng: "..."

This girl is crazy, isn't she going to have a shop?

Three days passed and another three days passed, Mr. Sheng held the teacup, looked at the servant who came back to report the news, lost his look of expectation, and asked with a straight face, "What is Lu Xiyue doing again?"

"Reporting to the master, she, she has opened another shop."

Old Master Sheng almost didn't spit out the tea after taking a sip.

"She opened a shop again, what shop?"

The boy replied under the pressure: "It's a shop that sells wine and fruit drinks."

"What is a fruit drink?" Old Master Sheng was quite puzzled.

Lu Xiyue was planning to break the can, and those few shops that were making crazy money were not going to open anymore.

If you don't plan to keep opening it, why are you still occupying the shop!

"It's a variety of tea drinks made from fruits, some are served hot, and some are served with ice."

The more Mr. Sheng listened, the more confused he became, and finally asked the boy to buy some.

The milk-colored tea drink in the bamboo tube is smudged with circles of orange-yellow, and the ice cubes sink and float, and the fruit pulp is crowded in the tea drink, releasing a burst of sweet orange fragrance.
