Volume 3: Jedi Life Chapter 135, Zhenyang Groceries

In the early morning of this day, a shop on the wharf of Shanxi Island was noisy with gongs and drums, crowded with people, and when the auspicious time came, a voice in the crowd shouted: "The store is officially opened today, welcome all Taoist friends to come!" When Mapo and Yi Xuan discussed the name of the store, Yi Xuan insisted on using the name of the teacher as the store name in order to mourn the death of his teacher.

In the middle of the crowd, Yi Xuan and Nie Yongwang, dressed in dark green robes, stood outside the store to receive the Dharma Protector monks who came to the store, while Mapo led three subordinates from the bandits and two recruited men to guard the counters and shelves in the store and bargain with the monks who entered the store.

After a while, Jiang Mingzhi accompanied the great protector Qi Li to congratulate him, and also gave Yi Xuan a golden abacus as a gift, which made Mapo so excited that he personally strung the abacus with a red rope and hung it in a conspicuous place in the store. Yi Xuan took out a green nameplate engraved with the word "Zhenyang" and respectfully handed it to Qi Li: "Great Protector, this is the first VIP card given by our store, you can buy spiritual objects at a 20% discount in the store, it is not a respect, please accept it!"

Qi Li accepted the card and patted Yi Xuan on the shoulder: "The foundation of our monks to settle down is cultivation, money and wealth are all foreign things, Yi Xuan must not put the cart before the horse!

Yi Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the Great Protector, Yi Xuan keeps it in mind and doesn't dare to forget!"

Qi Li casually walked around the store a few times and then left, and Yi Xuan and the others hurriedly sent him away.

Jiang Mingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yi Xuan: "The Great Protector is here, I don't dare to breathe, and now I can be considered relaxed." Xiao Yi, you also want to give me a VIP card, and I will come to you to buy things in the future. ”

Yi Xuan handed over a VIP nameplate and said, "It's all thanks to Brother Jiang's care, Xiao Yi is grateful, I booked a banquet at Lin Hai Restaurant in the evening, and invited Brother Jiang to come!"

By noon, the Dharma Protector monks who had come to cheer had basically dispersed, and the store was gradually deserted, and Mapo made time to take stock of the surplus: after one morning, relying on the sale of various sea beast materials obtained in the beast tide and the spirit runes provided by Yi Xuan, nearly three thousand spirit stones were collected in the store, which was a good start, and Mapo had a smile on his face.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the store.

"It's this newly opened shop, shoddy, all of you come and take a look, I spent two hundred spirit stones here in the morning to buy the three-eyed blue-scaled beast unicorn, I wanted to refine a flying cone magic weapon, I don't want to break it into two with a little force! Everyone give a comment, this three-eyed blue-scaled beast unicorn horn is the strongest, and even the flying sword can't be easily cut, it can be seen that the black-hearted merchant of this Zhenyang grocery must be selling fakes!" A strange monk shouted loudly at the door with two truncated horns in his hand, and there were already a lot of people around him watching the excitement.

If the new store is not properly disposed of, this "Zhenyang groceries" are afraid that they will close the door the next day, Mapo hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the man's right hand holding the broken horn, and said: "This old man, you can't talk nonsense! There are records in every trading store in the morning, and there is no three-eyed blue-scaled beast sold at all, don't spread rumors and make trouble!"

The monk lay down on the ground and shouted, "This black-hearted merchant will not only deny it, but also commit murder in the street and destroy the evidence!"

Yi Xuan secretly screamed in his heart, Mapo was obviously set by someone else, walked out of the store, helped the monk up, and said softly: "This Taoist friend, I don't know the name of the honorable person, why don't you go to the store and talk about it in detail?"

The man was arrogant and playful, and pushed Yi Xuan away: "If you don't go, you won't go, if you enter the black shop, if you wait for a bad heart, my life will not be guaranteed!

As he spoke, several monks dressed in deacon's service came up from the crowd, and one of them, a tall and lanky monk, asked, "Who is making a noise here?"

The troublesome monk wept bitterly, hugged the tall monk and said, "Lord Deacon, you have to be the master of the villain......

After listening to the cry of the troublemaker, several deacons turned cold, and asked Yi Xuan and the others: "Who of you is the owner of this shop, and you dare to make trouble under the nose of the island owner?

This office is the office of Shanxi Island, and any monks on the island can go to file a complaint if they have any disputes.

Seeing that things were getting more and more out of control, Yi Xuan stepped forward and showed the nameplate of the Dharma Protector, and said: "In Xia Yi Xuan, he is the owner of this shop, and he is also the Dharma Protector Monk on the island, the location of this shop is under the jurisdiction of the Dharma Protector Team, and I also ask a few brothers to make it convenient, I will deal with it with the Great Dharma Protector!"

An old man with a gloomy face among the deacons said: "Yi Xuan, you yourself are the Dharma Protector, I am afraid that your Dharma Protector Team will show favoritism and ruin the reputation of the Island Lord! Besides, the Lord of the Island has already made it clear that the Dharma Protector is in charge of foreign affairs, and the deacon is in charge of internal affairs, and the business affairs on this island are where my duties lie! Don't be strong, otherwise you will be charged with one more crime of obstructing official business, and even the Great Dharma Protector will not be able to exonerate you!"

"How can this be reasonable!" Nie Yongwang was stepping forward to make a move, Yi Xuan pulled it back, and said to several deacons: "It's okay to go back to the office with you for questioning, but this matter has not yet been decided, I want to sue this guy for slandering the reputation of my shop, and I want to ask everyone around me to come with me to testify!"

The gloomy old man saw that there were a lot of monks watching the excitement around, Yi Xuan said that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he categorically refused, and said with a sneer: "Since you are not afraid of confrontation in front of the court, how about a few more witnesses? Let's go, let's go to the office together!"

Yi Xuan turned around and said to Nie Yongwang: "I'll go with Mapo! You guard the store, close the business first, and discuss it when we come back!" After speaking, he glanced at Nie Yongwang, who understood and winked at Yi Xuan.

Except for a few timid and frightened monks who quietly slipped away, the remaining forty or fifty monks came to the door of the case judgment office together with Yi Xuan and others, and the gloomy old man explained the situation to the guards, and everyone entered the door to the front of the hall to wait for the official office to await trial.

Not long after, the chief butler came to sit down in front of the hall in a soap-colored official uniform, and shouted: "Who in the hall disturbs the old man?"

This office was supposed to have another monk as a judge, but the chief steward didn't want to lose power, so he always held the position of judge, and the owner of the island trusted him, so he didn't care about it, and didn't want to be used as a place to frame and retaliate against Yi Xuan today.
