"If you think beautifully, you will pay back a thousand taels, won't you pay back two thousand taels when the time comes, how can there be such a good thing." Shen Lanxin glared at him and said, "One hundred taels." ”

The smile on his face did not decrease, "How can this meal that you are so generous and generous to invite this king to eat is worth a hundred taels, so you have no money to pay the bill?" ”

He looked at her with deep eyes, but there was a bit of ridicule in his words.

Seeing through by him, she immediately retorted: "Who said that if I don't have the money to pay the bills, I can't borrow money for other purposes?" ”

Shen Lanxin's eyes flickered, Rao is heart was weak, she avoided his gaze, why did his eyes always seem to be able to see through what others were thinking, when he thought of this, he felt uncomfortable.

Looking at it again, Gao Xu's face became happy and successful.

"Hey, are you borrowing or not? After this village, there is no such shop. Shen Lanxin raised his voice.

Gao Xu's eyelids jumped, it was the first time he had seen such a reasonable person borrowing money.

"Double the income, why not borrow." After speaking, he took out a hundred taels from his arms and put them in front of her.

Shen Lan put it away with satisfaction, this meal is worth two hundred taels, it really hurts, and it's a big loss to eat more.

In the autumn night, it is a little cool, and the quietly falling leaves add three points of autumn to this autumn season.

Early the next morning, Shen Lanxin went downstairs, and Gao Xu was already sitting there drinking tea and waiting for her.

"Morning." Shen Lan sat down opposite him in high spirits.

Gao Xu glanced at her.

At this time, Xiao Er also served them all early, white porridge, xiao long bao, and a few light side dishes.

Gao Xu said lightly: "Eat first, and there is still business to do after eating." ”

"Business? You're going to help me recover the money? Shen Lan said tentatively. Other than that, she didn't feel like there was anything else going on at the moment.

"I'll talk about it after eating."

"Oh."

After the two had breakfast, Shen Lanxin couldn't wait to ask, "Have you thought of how to help me recover the silver?" ”

Gao Xu hooked his finger at her, and Shen Lanxin got up and leaned in, and Gao Xu whispered in her ear.

Shen Lan's eyes lit up. "Is this possible?"

Gao Xu said with a solemn face: "Catch the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the traitor and take the double, how can you arrest him without evidence?" Even if they are caught, they will not admit it. ”

Shen Lan thought about it, and it was indeed the truth.

After a while, the two came to the open-air tea stall opposite Baihualou to watch, and the two stared for a long time, but they didn't see the big black mole brothers.

It wasn't until noon that the two big black mole brothers came out of the green building yawning.

Gao Xu reminded: "They are out. ”

"It's really a big lazy worm, sleeping so late before getting up, and using the money you defrauded to come here to get drunk and dream to death, it's really hateful." Shen Lanxin couldn't help but slap the table and scold.

Shen Lanxin's eyes followed the two of them closely, and suddenly said, "They went to the restaurant, do you want to follow?" ”

Gao Xu was calm, "Don't go yet, just wait." ”

Then the two of them continued to wait for half a cup of tea before entering the restaurant.

As soon as he walked in, he saw that the two of them were eating, Shen Lanxin raised his voice slightly: "Childe, let's eat here first, and then go to Fengcheng to buy medicinal herbs." ”

Hearing the sound, the big black mole subconsciously looked towards the door.

Gao Xu said: "It's okay. ”

The two of them found a place not far from the big black mole and sat down.

Shen Lanxin shouted, "Xiao Er, two bowls of noodles." Then he said: "This little four is also, the saffron is out of stock and will not tell us in advance, only to say that it is short, this is good, there is no sale, and I have to go to Fengcheng to purchase, this distance is not far, but I am afraid that I will not be able to buy so much saffron for a while and a half." ”

Shen Lanxin secretly glanced at the big black mole, and when he saw the chopsticks in the big black mole's hand, he obviously heard what she said.

Gao Xu said: "Yes, Boss Zhang has already ordered five packs with me, and Boss Qian, people order at least eight packs each time, not counting those medical halls and pharmacies, I think I have to pick twenty packs this time." ”

Twenty packs? The big black mole looked at the two silently, and saw that the man who spoke was dressed extraordinarily, and he must be a rich man.

Shen Lanxin sighed. "If only there were twenty packets in front of us now."

The conversation between the two was listened to word by word by the big black mole.

At the same time, Gao Xu also glanced at the two of them silently.

In order to make the play realistic, the two walked out of the restaurant in a hurry after eating the noodles, pretending to be in a hurry.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the restaurant, sure enough, the big black mole hurriedly chased after him.

"Two, please stay!"

Hearing this, the two stopped, turned around and said, "Brother Tai is calling us?" It was Shen Lanxin who spoke.

The big black mole arched his hand and smiled all over his face, "Yes, I just heard in the house that you want to buy saffron, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Shen Lanxin glanced at him, nodded and said, "That's right, what's wrong?" ”

The big black mole still smiled and said, "There are ready-made merchants in Nansong, why do you have to work hard to go to Fengcheng to purchase?" ”

"Nansong sells medicinal herbs?" Shen Lanxin pretended to be surprised.

The big black mole grinned and said, "Coincidentally, it's a seller of medicinal herbs." ”

Shen Lanxin and Gao Xu couldn't help but glance at each other.

"You're the one who sells medicinal herbs?" Shen Lan couldn't help but look him up and down.

"Exactly." Big Black Mole Road.

Shen Lanxin said happily: "That's really good, son, we don't have to go to Fengcheng on purpose." ”

"Since you're selling medicine, do you have samples?" At this time, Gao Xu asked appropriately.

"This boy can be said, he happens to have a sample of saffron on his body now, and he is in good condition." As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Gao Xu.

Gao Xu handed the cloth bag to Shen Lanxin again, Shen Lanxin took it, opened the cloth bag, poured the saffron into his hand, looked at it, smelled it again, and sure enough, it was a high-quality saffron.

The big black mole glanced at the thin man quietly.

"How?" Gao Xu asked.

Shen Lanxin nodded: "Childe, it is indeed the best saffron." ”

When the big black mole heard this, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

Gao Xu glanced at the big black mole and said with a flat expression: "How many saffrons do you have?" ”

The big black mole asked rhetorically, "How much does Childe want?" ”

Gao Xu said without thinking: "At least twenty packs, and they are in stock, and they will be used tomorrow." ”

Seeing Gao Xu's tone of speech, the big black mole knew that he must have a lot of money, so he wanted to take the opportunity to knock on it.

He thought for a while and said: "Twenty packs are no problem, but I want to use them tomorrow, the time is a little rushed, I'm afraid I can't put it out, if you insist on taking it in stock, I'm afraid you have to add silver." ”

Gao Xu said proudly: "Money is not a problem, how much silver is this twenty packs?" ”

"No more, no less, a total of 10,000 taels." The big black mole smiled and stretched out a finger.

Gao Xu asked again: "How much do you want to add?" ”

The big black mole said: "At least five hundred taels." ”

Gao Xu pretended to think about it, "Okay, no problem, five hundred is five hundred, but it must be in stock tomorrow." ”

When the big black mole heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "No problem, twenty packs are guaranteed to be in stock." ”

Gao Xu asked, "Then when will the transaction be made?" ”

The big black mole said: "See you at noon tomorrow at the entrance of the South Gate Alley." ”

"Okay, in a word, this is a deposit of one hundred taels." After speaking, Gao Xu gave a silver ticket to the big black mole.

The big black mole took it with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Childe, if there is nothing else, I will go back and prepare and say goodbye." ”

After the two left, Shen Lanxin and Gao Xu couldn't help but glance at each other.

"I said why did my eyelids jump today, it turned out that I met the God of Wealth, and I could wake up smiling even when I was sleeping." The big black mole took the silver ticket and threw it down, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion while being happy.

"Big brother, you ...... You are really amazing, obviously twenty packs are eight or eight thousand taels of silver, and you sold more than one hundred and ten thousand taels with one sentence, this money is too easy to earn. The thin man's face could not hide the excitement.

"You don't understand this, do you," the big black mole said proudly as he took the silver ticket into his arms. "This is called watching people put off the dishes, you look at the temperament of the man next to you, you know that it is a boss at a glance, looking at his outfit, ten thousand must be fine."

Thin stammered and smiled: "Big brother is really amazing." ”

The big black mole said proudly: "You, learn more in the future." ”

The figures of the two people gradually disappeared into the crowd.

The next day, Shen Lanxin came to the South Gate Alley alone at the agreed time.

When I got there, I happened to see the big black mole and the two were sending someone to unload the goods.

Seeing Shen Lanxin coming alone, the big black mole couldn't help but ask, "Girl, why are you coming alone?" Where's your son-in-law? ”

As he spoke, he looked behind him again, a little wary.

Shen Lan said lightly: "Oh, my son-in-law went to find the carriage, and the goods are ready?" ”

When the big black mole heard it, it turned out that he was looking for a car, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, what he didn't know was that this was just a ploy by the two of them to lure the snake out of the hole.

The big black mole smiled: "Twenty packages of goods are here, so let's pay with one hand and deliver with the other?" ”

The big black mole thought to himself, this is more than 10,000 taels of silver, and he can't wait to get it.

"No problem." Shen Lanxin patted the sack on the car casually, glanced at him and said, "Buy my medicinal herbs in portions, how can I give you a shortage of two catties." ”

The big black mole's gaze was locked on her all the time.

At this time, Shen Lanxin took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and gave it to the big black mole.

"After deducting the deposit, this is ten thousand and four hundred taels, you can count it."

The big black mole grinned and took it, "I can trust the girl." ”

Shen Lanxin smiled and looked around the hills.

Seeing that the matter was done smoothly and that it was time to retreat, the big black mole said, "Girl, if there is nothing to do, we will take our leave." ”

Shen Lanxin nodded and said, "If you go slowly, you won't send it." ”

At this time, the big black mole glanced at the thin man, and the two hurriedly left.

Shen Lanxin hurriedly opened a sack, and when he saw that it was indeed fake saffron, he began to act according to the plan.

She suddenly shouted loudly: "Hey, you stop me, the medicine is fake, you two big liars." ”

As soon as the two heard this, they hurriedly pulled out their legs and ran, and Shen Lanxin hurriedly chased after them

The two of them ran in front of the big black mole, and Shen Lanxin chased after them, shouting while chasing: "Someone, catch the liar." ”

At this time, Gao Xu, who was hiding in the shadows, was observing their every move, and was about to make a move, when several officers and soldiers patrolling suddenly appeared on the street, so he waited for the opportunity.

Shen Lan saw several officers and soldiers coming, so he hurriedly asked them for help.

"Brother Guan, catch those two people, those two are liars and cheated me out of my money."

When the leading officers and soldiers heard this, they hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Give me chase."

After a while, the big black mole and the thin man were arrested by the officers and soldiers and brought back to the official mansion together with Shen Lanxin.

Soon the yamen ascended to the hall, and the county magistrate yawned and sat on the court, it seemed that he had just woken up, and when the county magistrate sat down, there were already three people kneeling in the hall, two men and one woman, and the county magistrate's eyes flashed.

Shen Lanxin and the big black mole knelt under the hall.

The county magistrate patted the shocked wood and asked coldly, "Who is in the hall and what is the matter?" ”

Shen Lanxin was frightened by his astonishment.

"Shen Lanxin, a folk girl, was just cheated of more than 10,000 taels of silver by these two people."

The county commander's eyes flashed again. "Lie to you more than 10,000 taels?"

Shen Lan was furious and said: "Yes, my lord, these two people are liars, they sold me fake medicines, cheated me out of money, and begged my lord to be the master of the people." ”

At this time, the big black mole Feidan did not feel scared, and his expression was still very calm.

"Bang" and another startled sound sounded. "Is that the case?" The tone of the county magistrate was extremely majestic against the backdrop of the shocking wood.

"My lord, there is no such thing, what we sell is real medicinal materials, she is talking nonsense and wronging us! Please be aware of it. With that, the big black mole lay down on the ground.

"Hmm......" the county magistrate touched his mustache. Shen Lanxin, do you have any evidence to prove that they are selling fake medicines? ”

"Absolutely." Shen Lanxin replied without hesitation. "Now those fake saffron are intact at the mouth of the South Gate Alley, a total of twenty packs, if you don't believe it, send someone to investigate, and you will naturally know if it is true or fake."

The prefectural magistrate nodded.

Immediately said: "Come on, go to a few people to the south gate alley to pull all the saffron back, and by the way, I am asking a doctor back." ”

"Yes." Then four or five yacha went out of the yamen one after another.

Although the big black mole was lying on the ground, there was a disapproving look on his face.

After a while, the yacha pushed four wooden carts to the door of the county ya.

At this time, the county magistrate asked: "Can you see clearly, is it these twenty big bags?" ”

Shen Lan looked outward, nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." "She recognized the wooden carts.

"Come on, inspect the goods." The prefectural order was ordered.

At this time, the yacha took down a bag from each of the four wooden carts and placed it on the public court.

Then the yacha opened them one by one, and the doctor stepped forward to look at them carefully, and after a moment, he said, "My lord, this medicine is not only a real medicine, but also a saffron in good condition, and it is by no means a fake medicine. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Lan was dumbfounded, "What? Real medicine? Impossible, I obviously ......" Shen Lanxin grabbed it, it didn't feel very right, it was exactly the same as the sample she had seen before.

"What's going on? How did the fake become real? Lan Xin thought it was incredible.

Looking at the big black mole, with a smug expression, it seems that he already knew that this would be the result.

The county magistrate waved his hand, and the yacha moved the four bags of saffron away.

"Shen Lanxin, since you said that the medicinal herbs are fake, but the real saffron is in front of you, how do you explain it to the official?" The prefectural commander asked with a frown.

Shen Lan was so anxious that he suddenly stood up. "My lord, the folk girl really didn't deceive anyone, it was obviously fake before."

"Get on your knees." The official on the side scolded.

Shen Lanxin knelt down again helplessly.

The county magistrate asked, "Since you are sure that the medicinal materials are fake, can anyone prove it at that time?"

"Human witness?" Shen Lan shook his head. "There are no witnesses."

When the county magistrate heard this, his face was displeased, "There is no witness?" Are you sure that people are liars? ”

Thin stammered, "Big ...... Adults are discerning, and grass people are good...... Good person, how can she be a liar, that is, she has wronged us. ”

"I wronged you?" Shen Lanxin pointed to himself and said. "Then why are you running?"

"Do you want to run...... Is it still illegal to run? The thin man gave her a blank look.

"You ......." Shen Lanxin looked at the county magistrate again, "My lord, I really didn't lie, they really ......" Before she could finish speaking, the county magistrate snapped, and the shock sounded again.

"Enough, since the matter has come to light, then there is no need to continue the trial, retire." After saying that, the prefectural commander left the court.

"Your Excellency, ...... your lordship?" Shen Lanxin shouted, this is retreating? She was so unwilling.

At this time, the two of them got up to leave. Shen Lanxin hurriedly grabbed him.

"Hey, you two liars can't go, give me back the money?" Shen Lan grabbed the clothes of the big black mole with his heart.

When the big black mole heard this, he immediately became anxious: "You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, who is a liar?" ”

"That is, whoever is a liar, the case has also been tried, and this medicine is also true, and it is still ...... What money do you have? Skinny stammered.

"You two bastards." Shen Lan scolded angrily.

"Get the hell out of here." The big black mole pushed hard, pushed Shen Lanxin down, pointed at her and said angrily: "I warn you, don't trouble us again, otherwise you will be unkind to you, hmph, let's go." After speaking, he whistled and left the government triumphantly.

"Two liars, you wait for me." Lan gritted his teeth angrily.

Out of the yamen, Shen Lanxin found that the four wooden carts were also missing.

"Where's the medicine?" Shen Lan looked east and west, and the four wooden cars had long since disappeared.

At this moment, a voice was heard from above.

"The medicine has been contracted by them a long time ago." Gao Xu flew down from the roof.

Shen Lan was puzzled: "Isn't the medicine fake?" How did the fake suddenly become real again? ”

Gao Xu's expression was indifferent: "A fake medicine is a fake medicine, how can it be true." ”

Shen Lanxin blinked, "What the hell is going on?" Confused me. ”

Gao Xu said lightly: "The fake medicine is still at the mouth of the South Gate Alley, and it has not moved at all. ”

"Not moving? Is it ...... to pull back those four carts? Shen Lan's heart was surprised and full of doubts.

Gao Xu said: "It was those officials who pulled it back from somewhere else, making you think it was the one at the mouth of the South Gate Alley." ”

Shen Lanxin was taken aback, "The big black mole and the government are in the same group?" ”

Gao Xu smiled and said, "It's not too stupid." ”

Shen Lan's heart suddenly realized, and his face immediately became gloomy, "These bastards are actually embarrassed." After speaking, she glanced at Gao Xu, "So you already know that the big black mole and the people of the government collude with each other?" No wonder you said something to lure the snakes out of the hole, it turned out to be the big snake that led them behind. ”

The corners of Gao Xu's mouth lifted slightly.

Shen Lanxin saw that he didn't speak, that is, he acquiesced.

Gao Xu snorted coldly and said: "Such a blatant deception at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the amount of money involved is so huge, there must be a backstage behind it." ”

Shen Lan's heart turned grim and said, "You mean the county commander?" ”

Gao Xu shook his head and said, "No, he's just a handle of size." ”

Shen Lan was shocked, and said tentatively: "You mean that there is a bigger force behind the county order?" ”

Gao Xu was noncommittal.

Shen Lan couldn't help but sweat in his heart, "I can't imagine that there will be so many forces behind a person who sells fake medicines." ”

Gao Xu said thoughtfully: "I think that the forces behind them must have huge interests to support, otherwise, how could a liar who sells fake drugs be so lawless and blatantly deceive, so no matter how you catch those two people, it will be fine." ”

When Shen Lanxin heard this, he said eagerly: "Then won't my silver be recovered?" ”

Gao Xu immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "There is not only your silver here, in order to help you even put more than 10,000 taels of this king in, wouldn't this king be more innocent." ”

His words suddenly made Shen Lan feel guilty, and he said, "I'm sorry, so what should I do now?" ”

At this time, Gao Xu's eyes continued to reveal a cold glow, and he said coldly: "Don't worry, this king will not let them do whatever they want." ”

Shen Lanxin nodded, and now he can only rely on him.

Gao Xu glanced at the plaque of the yamen at this time, and said softly: "If my guess is correct, they will definitely meet in the Baihua Building tonight." ”

It was getting dark, and all the lights at the door of the Qinglou were turned on, and in the room No. 4 on the second floor, there was a big black mole and a thin stammering man sitting at the round table, and opposite them sat a middle-aged man wearing a brown dress and a mustache.

At this time, the big black mole smiled and held a stack of silver tickets, sent them to Lord Li with both hands, and said: "Lord Li, these five thousand taels are our brothers who are filial to you, if it weren't for you to cover it, I'm afraid that our brothers would stay in prison." ”

Master Li took the silver ticket and weighed it, "Well, that's good." After speaking, he smiled and put it into his arms.

Shen Lanxin looked at this scene and gritted his teeth. "Sure enough, these people are embarrassed and colluded."

At this time, the two were lying on the roof of the Qinglou and peeping.

"Yes, thanks to Master Li, I secretly changed the day and bluffed the woman." As soon as the thin stammerer finished speaking, the three of them laughed at the same time.

Master Li touched his beard and smiled proudly: "You are all right, and this official can make money, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, yes, what the adults said is very true." The big black mole nodded in agreement.

Li Bing squinted, and a hint of pride flashed on his face, "But since this official has accepted your silver, he has to show some real skills, you can rest assured, the entire Nansong County, and even Fengcheng, as long as I Li Bing say a word, I will keep your two brothers safe and sound." ”

"Li Bing? Hmph, that's a big breath. Gao Xu's deep voice was extremely contemptuous.

The big black mole smiled: "With Lord Li's words, what are we not worried about?" After saying that, the big black mole brother picked up his wine glass. Come, Master Li, we salute you with this glass of wine. ”
