Chapter 189
"Oh, really? It's so far away. I heard it's very cold over there across the Black River. It's useless to capture a place like that. We have to send people over there..."
Feng Lan listened without interest.
"The ship's been out for seven years now, so it's time to come back. Didn't they receive news from the coast a month ago that the ship had already docked? And it even went to the other hemisphere, to the homeland of those babbling foreigners. They could establish a country out of a tiny place!"
"These foreigners are different from the Japanese! Those stingy ones stare at people with their little eyes all day long, wanting this and that. Although those foreigners are a little greedy, at least they pay more! I think Your Majesty should destroy that small country!"
"That's true. That small nation, relying on their abundance of silver, comes three times a year when once every five years is all they need! Not satisfied with taking advantage of the Imperial Palace, they even tried to shirk their responsibilities when eating at Guiyuanlou a few days ago! They haven't even paid off the bills left by the last group of people who left!"
Feng Lan listened and nodded in agreement. This small country was indeed hateful.
"Xingyuefang has received a new batch of materials. I heard they came from Jiangnan. They have new designs. I think the crescent moon flower and bird pattern is very nice, and it shimmers in the sunlight."
"I like their purple and green pattern skirts. The tailored clothes are really beautiful and make the skin look brighter."
"That goes really well with the white pearl and kingfisher hairpin. The material is good, but the pattern is a bit old-fashioned..."
"I like their hairpins with tassels..."
Feng Lan was not interested, as it would not help her make money.
"Hey, a few days ago, the Lin family was also robbed, and the noise was exactly the same as the previous cases!"
"This...didn't they say they caught the thief?"
"No, anything related to gold and silver in the Lin family was stolen! It is said that a lot of the things given by the emperor to the family were also lost!"
"Is this true? Didn't the Lin family secretly... leave only an empty shell? Could it be that they're using this little thief to cheat on their accounts?"
"Who knows? Anyway, this thief only steals from rich people, and specifically targets those who have money but no power. I think those adults who returned to Beijing in the past few days might have been robbed a few times..."
Feng Lan listened, thinking about something in her mind. Just then, someone entered the teahouse, which distracted her a little.
But I didn't hear any sound, and the footsteps were very light. The waiter greeted me and took me to a seat on the second floor. After that, there was no sound from that direction.
Feng Lan drank the tea served by the waiter, and his mind suddenly shifted from stealing to this. He narrowed his eyes slightly and listened attentively.
No sound.
She turned slightly and even used her wind ability to bring a breeze, but she still didn't hear any sound, whether it was moving a stool, pouring tea, drinking water, or even breathing.
It's a bit like using props.
Feng Lan suspected that they had met a player, otherwise how could ordinary people chatting be so quiet.
He's still a very vigilant player.
Feng Lan waited quietly. After more than ten minutes, the sound came from that direction again.
"The time is set, don't forget it."
"Don't worry, I've finally managed to get enough money, and I don't want to stay here any longer."
After saying a few words, the two people dispersed.
Feng Lan immediately stood up, lowered her head and walked a few steps quickly as if in deep thought. She walked out from behind the screen and bumped into one of them. She was knocked back two steps and almost fell down. Feng Lan was so angry that she immediately spoke in a distinctly female voice.
"What a tactless person! It's such a wide road, but you didn't see anyone there!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, young master. I left in a hurry."
"Humph!"
Feng Lan snorted, looked him up and down, and walked away from him with disdain.
Feng Lan walked away several steps and did not hear the two of them talking or chatting anymore, but the petals that were stuck on them were not knocked off.
