"Exactly! And a fine? W-what's all this about? Didn't we just come here for a meal?"
The men on the ground had already started fighting amongst themselves before they even had a chance to turn on Ming Lingyi.
They had only come here to get a free meal; they hadn't thought about anything else.
'What's more, they knew nothing about the law. Was showing up with silver to pay for a meal illegal?'
The crowd erupted into an uproar.
After all, most people didn't go around studying Dayan Law for fun. As long as you didn't cause trouble, the government generally left you alone.
But someone like Ming Lingyi, who seemed to have the entirety of Dayan Law memorized, was a rare sight indeed.
"Y-you said before that if I told you who gave me the silver, you'd let us go and even let us eat here for a month. Are you trying to go back on your word in public? How can you do business without any integrity?"
