How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 116 Let the Emperor Give Me a Beauty
Old Dong and Little Dog Sheng were busy in the tavern when a man in his thirties or forties walked in through the door. The man was dressed in gold and silver and looked very wealthy.

The man glanced at Dong Laoqi as soon as he entered. After seeing her clearly, he quickly closed the fan in his hand. "Indeed, a beauty."

Old Dong gave the man a smile. "Greetings, sir. Do you want to buy wine? If you do, please come back in half a month. Our wine won't be ready for another half month."

The man tapped his palm with his fan. "I'm not here to buy wine, I'm here to see a beauty. Beauty, I have ten thousand taels of silver here. Do you want to earn it? Don't worry, I won't make you do anything. I'll just let you accompany me to travel around the mountains and rivers."

After saying that, the man took out a silver note from his pocket. "My family has been in business for generations."

bump!
Old Dong kicked the man away.

"what!"

The man fell heavily to the ground.

Dong Laoqi emerged from the tavern, hands on hips, glaring at the man on the ground and cursing, "You dare ask me to go sightseeing with you? I'll kick you to death! Get lost!"

"The man won't leave." "My beauty, you're so fierce. My beauty, I'm really rich, I just really want you to accompany me on a trip to the mountains and rivers."

bump!
Old Dong kicked the man again.

"what!"

Old Dong Qi said "Get lost" and went back to the tavern.

People nearby pulled the man up from the ground.

A: "Sir, you're really brave."

B: "Sir, have you been tricked? Everyone knows that the beauty in the Beauty Tavern is a tigress."

C: "Yeah, aren't you asking for a beating?"

Ding: "The beauties in the Beauty Tavern are only for looking at."

……

Inside the tavern, Little Dog Sheng, while working, looked at Old Man Dong and laughed, "Ten thousand taels? Aren't you tempted?"

Old Dong glared at Little Dog Sheng. "What are you so interested in? Get to work."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The man came again the next day.

This time, the man directly took out five silver notes worth ten thousand taels each. "I've seen many beauties, but you're the most special."

bump!
Old Dong kicked the man out again.

The man struggled to his feet. "One hundred thousand taels."

Just as Dong Laoqi was about to kick the man again, Xiao Gousheng stopped him. "When Young Master An went out to discuss business before, didn't you often follow him and protect him?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever met this person? If this person is willing to spend 100,000 taels to win the heart of a beauty, then his net worth must be at least 5 million taels. Even if someone with such a net worth has never done business with Young Master An, he should have at least dined at the same table with Young Master An."

Old Dong thought for a moment. "I've never seen this person before."

"Then this person is either a fraudster or has other motives."

Upon hearing this, Dong Laoqi immediately said, "Does he think we have a secret recipe and want to steal it from us?"

"possible."

"So what do we do next? I'll go out and beat him up."

"No need. Let's wait for him to make his move. If he has other motives, he'll definitely come back."

"alright."

On the third day, the man did not come.

As Dong Laoqi locked the door, he said, "Looks like a swindler."

"Maybe."

That night, Dong Laoqi, Xiaogou Sheng, and Qian Chunhua were sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard two heavy objects fall from the roof.

There were only three of them in the county; everyone else was in Qianjia Village.

Dong Laoqi and Xiaogou Sheng sat up abruptly in bed. Qian Chunhua was a little slower to react. By the time she got up, Xiaogou Sheng was already dressed.

As the puppy put on his shoes, he said, "Don't go out yet."

"Okay." Qian Chunhua said as she took the bow and arrow off the wall.

When the puppy was born, Dong Laoqi had already picked up the two people on the ground. Both of them were very young.

The two were extremely frustrated.

One of them looked at Dong Laoqi and asked, "What did you paint on the roof?" They went up and tumbled down. Not only did they tumble down, but they were also completely exhausted.

"you guess."

"..." If he could guess it, he wouldn't have asked.

Another man looked at the little dog and said, "We're just passing by."

The little dog didn't believe it.

Xiao Gousheng took the makeup that Dong Laoqi used and applied it to one of the men's faces. In a short while, the man transformed into the middle-aged wealthy merchant who wanted to pay Dong Laoqi 100,000 taels of silver to accompany him on a trip.

The little dog bared its white teeth at the man. "Speak, what do you want? If you don't tell me, I'll sell you to a brothel."

The two men: "..." If they were really sold to a black kiln, they would be laughed at by their brothers for the rest of their lives.

The man posing as a wealthy businessman gritted his teeth. "We're womanizers."

Another man: "Yes, we are flower thieves."

Little Dog Shengcai didn't believe it. Would a flower thief carry that much silver? Besides, these two men have very honest eyes; they don't look like flower thieves at all.

"So you're a womanizer. Then I won't sell you to the black market; go to the brothel instead."

The two men: "..." Even a black kiln is worse!

The two men exchanged a glance. "We have something to say to Dong Laoqi, please excuse us for a moment."

Did Little Dog Sheng know what they were planning to do?

The little dog kicked them twice. "My Beauty Tavern hasn't even opened yet, and you're already trying to steal my beauties away? If my Beauty Tavern doesn't have beauties, can it still be called a Beauty Tavern? Go back and tell your Duke not to covet other people's treasures!"

The two men: "..." They guessed it already? But they were only half right. "Miss Qian, we are not under the Duke of Jin's protection. You should leave."

Not a member of the Duke of Jin's faction?
That's probably the emperor's man.

Now it's the little dog's turn to be upset!
Before her tavern even opened, the emperor came to poach her customers!

The Duke of Jin is such a big mouth!

She's going back to Qianjia Village to fight the Nineteenth!

The little dog took a deep breath. Judging from the actions of these two, the Emperor probably didn't want Dong Laoqi to go to those public departments.

The little dog glared at the two of them fiercely, then snorted before going back into the house.

A moment later, Dong Laoqi came in. "They said they were the Emperor's men. They said that after the Emperor learned about me from the Duke of Jin, he wanted me to serve him."

"They offered me 100,000 taels of silver to accompany them on their trip, hoping to see if I would abandon all sense of propriety and shame for money. They originally wanted to test my skills tonight, but they didn't expect to fall for my trick as soon as they arrived."

"They showed me their badges. What they said should be true."

"They want me to go with them."

The little dog looked up at the sky. "Then you should go with them. Before you leave, make them take two poison pills, just in case they're liars. Also, if you can see the Emperor, make him give me a beautiful woman in return."

Old Dong rubbed Gou Sheng's little head. "You're willing to let me go?"

The little dog looked up at the sky again. "Following the Emperor is more meaningful than following me. Be careful."

"it is good."

The next day, Dong Laoqi left.

The puppy was so upset!
The puppy returned to Qianjia Village in a huff.
