What happened?
"Shut up you old mer!" The leader shouted at the old mer who flinched under the loud shout of the woman. "Do you think that you only need to pay for the fees that you owe? Who is going to pay us the interest? All this time when we came to your shop and left without making a fuss if you do not pay for it then who will?"
The words of the woman were so shameless that many people in the crowd frowned. But they didn't say anything. Thugs like these do not commit big crimes and they were not good people so they didn't care about heading to the Yamen anyway.
After all, they would come out of the Yamen in a few days. Why would they fear a complaint? Instead, it should be people like them who should worry about these thugs causing trouble for them.
