Chapter 231: Bloodtooth Grass
"Are you here to find Bloodtooth Grass?"
The servant, who was standing five meters away, was a little puzzled at first when he saw Ruoshui's head arching on the ground, but soon as he suddenly remembered something, he walked quickly to Jia Yunwei's side and asked in a low voice.
"Bloodtooth grass?"
Jia Yunwei asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it? Isn't there a problem here? ”
The official raised a hand, made a few circles on the side of his head, and snorted at Ruoshui.
Blood...... Tooth grass?
Jia Yunwei smacked it, and finally understood why the official asked this question.
Legend has it that there is a grass called Bloodtooth Grass, which is made from blood and can cure madness. But if it is just such a requirement, this grass is not uncommon, it is strange, watered with dog blood, it can cure dog madness, with sheep can cure sheep, and human madness, then it can really only be watered with human blood tooth grass.
Judging from the growth process of this grass, we know that this is a very evil plant, but it can't stand it and it really has a very significant effect. No matter what kind of madness it is, what the degree is, and how long it lasts, as long as one plant goes down, it can basically restore clarity.
However, such harsh growing conditions make this grass very rare, and only a relatively continuous blood watering can form its growing ground, and as the place where blood is most frequently contacted, the execution ground used to behead criminals is the most blessed place for the growth of blood tooth grass.
However, not all execution grounds can breed such evil plants, you must know that even the execution ground. It is impossible to cut people twice in three days, and without a sufficient dose of blood to irrigate, the blood tooth grass will not come out. A small, remote and closed county like Shonan County. There are often criminals who are so vicious that they must be beheaded, so there is no bloody tooth grass growing here at all.
The effect of blood tooth grass is extraordinary, and the value is naturally high. Not to mention that its extremely unlucky background will make many superstitious people who have passed away in previous lives avoid it, even if they really dare to take the risk of breaking Yang Shou to eat, there are not many such people.
The official hadn't seen anyone come to the execution ground to look for the Blood Tooth Grass for many years, and he himself had been here on an errand for so many years, so he naturally knew that there had never been a single Blood Tooth Grass here. And. Even if there were, it would have been pulled out by him, an official who has to go around here countless times every day, how could it be the turn of others.
But that didn't stop him from selling blood tooth grass to the outside world. Because no one here had ever seen this plant at all, let alone eaten it, no one knew whether he was betraying it or not. And the yin and evil nature of this grass is destined to no matter who eats it. I didn't dare to publicize it in a big way. In the end, I can only swallow this dumb loss, but it fires this servant.
There are so many crazy people in Xiangnan County, and there are many times they have been cheated, and there will always be a time when they will be deceived, and the official has not had this kind of big business for a long time, otherwise he would have been busy selling his second career to Jia Yunwei as early as when he knew that Ruoshui was a madman.
"Here...... Can you grow blood tooth grass? In a place where Shonan County is so big, sometimes it is impossible to catch such a prisoner who is qualified to be beheaded all year round. With this little bit of blood, you can't grow it, right? ”
It's not that Jia Yunwei can talk about the matter of blood tooth grass so much. It was because he had tasted or bought this plant, but because of his miscellaneous records, so that this official only opened his mouth, and there was not a single word that could be picked out to persuade Jia Yunwei in the set used to fool people on weekdays.
In the end, the official could only say something dryly.
"Who said it can't grow! I said if I can grow, I can grow! ”
"Hmm~ What the official said was ......"
Jia Yunwei immediately compromised, he knew his position well today. Help Ruoshui find tall and strong, and it is even possible to rob the Dharma field, etc., but none of these things are related to the official raising the bar, and Jia Yunwei will naturally not waste his lips and tongue on this, after all, even if he wins the quarrel, except that he is very likely to be wearing small shoes in the future, there is basically no benefit at all.
I didn't expect Jia Yunwei to compromise so quickly, and the official himself felt quite panicked, but for him, at least the final result was that people chose to believe it, although it was not him who persuaded others. And in the meantime, it's even easier than fooling ordinary people, because even the process of persuasion is basically gone.
He settled down and went through the lines he was used to saying, and then said to Jia Yunwei with a smile.
"Brother, since you are a knowledgeable person, then my price will naturally be more restrained, and it is inevitable that I will be sold in yellow. Let's do it~ a blood tooth grass, two hundred taels of silver~"
"One hundred taels?"
Jia Yunwei looked surprised.
Since he knew the efficacy of this grass, he naturally knew how valuable it was, and how expensive it was...... Anyway, it must be much more than a hundred taels of silver.
Jia Yunwei's expression made the official look at it for a while, in fact, what is "convergence", when he sells to the poor residents nearby on weekdays, it is basically the price of twenty or thirty taels of silver, this time it is looking at Jia Yunwei's clothes and accessories, I feel that I have slaughtered a fat sheep, but I didn't expect people to know how to bargain on the ground, and suddenly even the smile on his face was a little unnatural.
"Or ...... Ninety taels? I said brother, this price can't be lower, and if it is lower, it will be a loss......"
"Losing money? Bloodtooth grass seems to be wild, right~ What do you have? ”
was always stepped on by Jia Yunwei again and again, and the officials were a little bad at talking, so he could only think of the available reasons on the spot and play on the spot.
"Of course there is! The blood tooth grass is so small, I just rummage around here every day, and I don't know how troublesome it is~ What's more, there have been no prisoners sent to Xiangnan County for three months, and in this case, the blood tooth grass is naturally more precious and difficult to find. ”
This excuse is good!
After saying this, even the official himself felt that he couldn't refute it, and he was complacent there~ suddenly found that Jia Yunwei, who had always had a cowardly and flattering smile on his face, suddenly changed his face and asked eagerly.
"What did you just say? You repeat! ”
"I, I, I...... What did I say? I don't remember! ”
Don't show what you just said, right? Ay! I know that the version that was made up improvisedly was not scrutinized, and when I met such a clear master, I really should pay twelve points of caution no matter what I say. But the words have already been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back, so he can only pretend to be stupid and pretend to have amnesia. (To be continued......)
