Shopkeeper Wang is in a bad mood today, very bad.

Wu Xie only knew that Lu Dao was a miser, but he didn't know that Lu Dao was more famous for being cautious and jealous than stingy, and he was very vindictive.

A few years ago, when Dr. Wu came to sell medicine, he wantonly lowered the price, and he was even more cynical and suffered a lot of losses between his words, but within a few days, Du Yu began to find trouble with him - at this time, he realized that the Wu family and the Du family were friends for eight worships, and there was also a Lin Xiucai among the sworn brothers.

The owner of a pharmacy in the district naturally couldn't fight the head catcher in the county, and a Xiucai who had studied in the county government was not something he could provoke, so he had to find Dr. Wu to apologize and double the compensation for the medicine.

Wu Xie didn't take this matter to heart, in his opinion, bargaining in business is a matter of course, and bargaining can only be said to be greedy, which is not a big deal.

But for the cautious shopkeeper Wang, this is enough to make him grit his teeth and choke his wrists!

If it was placed in normal times, with the two backers of the Du family and the Lin family, he could only endure it no matter how he gritted his teeth, and he would never dare to touch Wu Xie half a hair, but this time Wu Xie came alone at night, and the rare medicinal materials brought by him with extremely high value made him can't help but move other thoughts......

There was no light in the room, and the king's shopkeeper sat alone in the darkness and pondered. He was a little hesitant, because he was thinking about a relatively serious matter, and he couldn't make a decision lightly.

"The revenge of being humiliated by the Wu family must be avenged! But...... If the news leaks, then Du is not easy to deal with......"

Shopkeeper Wang's face changed again and again, sometimes angry, sometimes nervous, sometimes fierce, sometimes worried, resentment towards the Wu family, fear of Du Pre and Lin Xiucai, expectation of revenge, and worry about risks...... He thought about it for half an hour, and finally made up his mind.

"No matter! Since this kid is sent to the door alone, it means that the sky is going to kill him! Otherwise, why didn't he go to Du Pre first, but came to me? It must have been providence! ”

The king's face was full of malice, and he went out with a lantern and did not return until late at night.

He didn't bring his buddies with him, so no one knew where he had gone during this time, but he was in good spirits the next morning, as if he had taken some great tonic, and was full of energy.

After entertaining Wu Xie for breakfast at his house, he led two guys to accompany Wu Xie to the money village to withdraw money.

The state of Eastern Chu has a state-designated money bank, which is run by the imperial court. There are only two businesses: custody and exchange. Custody is naturally the custody of gold and silver, and exchange is the exchange of scattered gold and silver from the people for gold and silver stamped with official seals. Because there is official silver on the gold and silver ingots, it is called gold silver.

Patterned gold and silver are of high purity and fine workmanship, and are very popular. Most of the folk bulk transactions like to use them, and the rich are even more keen to collect them, and Wu Jie's family also collects some silver, but the amount is not much—maybe not as much as he earned this time.

In this world, there is no 16, 28, 28 taels system in ancient China, which is a unified decimal system for both grain and gold and silver. Eight hundred taels is eighty catties, one big silver ingot weighs one catty, and eighty ingots of silver are neatly arranged in four rows, and Wu Xie is a little stunned.

He had never seen so much silver in his previous life or in this life.

"Virtuous nephew, do you want to go back with your uncle's truck?" Shopkeeper Wang smiled kindly and said, "Eighty catties is not heavy, but it is not light." The Wu family gathered twenty miles to this Anfeng County, and it was quite difficult to carry it all the way back. My family happens to have a car to buy bamboo charcoal in that area, and I can take you along the way. ”

Wu Xie was about to refuse, but he persuaded again: "Eight hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, it is not safe to be alone, and the more people there are, the more people will take care of it." I know that you are proud of your brother Du Zhutou's martial arts, but he is a member of the public family, and it is inconvenient to leave the county, so it is better not to trouble him. ”

This makes sense, but Wu Xie is not worried about safety.

With Wu Shaoxia's current ability, ordinary robbers are not vulnerable at all, as for those masters who can't even beat him, how much ability can they have for a mere eight hundred taels of silver? How downhill do those top masters have to be, so that they will even have to grab eight hundred taels of silver!

But as the so-called hospitality is difficult, he has nothing to do in the county now, so it is not bad to simply follow the car of the pharmacy and take a ride.

"Can you wait for me, then? I'm going to buy something to take home......"

"Virtuous nephew! It's not that my uncle is too talkative, so why should you waste it? Your Wu family is also worry-free, there is no shortage of food or clothing, what do you have to buy? Listen to your uncle's advice and take all the money back. It's better to bring anything home than to bring money home! ”

Wu Xie estimated that most of the misers were reluctant to waste time, and they didn't bother to argue about this trivial matter, so they simply followed his advice and got into the car with the wooden box containing eight hundred taels of silver.

The car is quite old, but it's sturdy. There was not a single passenger on the car, and the guy who drove the car was the person responsible for receiving the goods, so that the shopkeeper Wang could pay one less salary.

"Sure enough, it's a well-known miser!" After Wu Xie learned of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "If this old guy was born on Earth, he would definitely have a common language with Guo Taiming!" ”

The big cart pulled by the horse was so slow that it was even slower than the speed of a human walk, but the guy who drove the car was obviously a veteran in the car, and he walked steadily all the way, so that Wu Xie was comfortable sitting in the car, and the slight bumps not only did not make him feel any discomfort, but made him feel very comfortable. In addition, today's weather is very good, and the sun is shining warmly on his body, so he gradually feels a little sleepy.

Sleeping in the daytime is really not a good habit, so Wu Xie did not simply lie in the empty carriage to sleep, but talked to Jasmine in his mind.

Since he completed the refining of the medicine, his whole person has been reborn, and his vitality is full enough that he can enter and exit the Heavenly Book World Realm at will, and he can also talk to Jasmine who is located in the Heavenly Book World Realm at any time, without worrying about the excessive consumption of Yuan Qi and hurting his body.

So when he has nothing to do, he will chat with Jasmine, similar to talking on the phone between friends in his previous life.

As the pet raised by the Supreme God Monarch in the past, Jasmine's status in the sect was not low back then, and she often talked with her disciples and grandchildren, so she knew a lot of strange things. Wu Xie often talked to her about these things in his spare time, one was to deepen his understanding of the world of cultivating immortals, so that his eyes would not be blackened, and the other was to try to understand the mentality of immortal cultivators through Jasmine—the latter was secondary, because he estimated that Jasmine's moral values were probably very different even in the world of cultivating immortals......

The time for chatting always passed quickly, and before you knew it, it was noon. The man Zhao Er parked the carriage on the side of the road to let the pack horse rest, and Wu Xie and he also happened to have lunch at this time.

"Brother Zhao, do you often walk this way? I think you're very good at driving. When resting after dinner, Wu Xie asked casually.

"It's true that I often go, because I often have to buy goods - but this time it's really weird, obviously there are a lot of bamboo charcoal in the store, why are you in a hurry to buy it?" Zhao Er, who was dark and short, smiled honestly, "This is not like the habit of the shopkeeper......"

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

The stinginess of the shopkeeper Wang is well known, and bamboo charcoal, which is not widely used but not expensive medicinal materials, does not look like a hoarding thing, so why should he rush to buy goods when there are still a lot of them in the warehouse?

"Should he get the news that the price of bamboo charcoal is going to rise?" Without waiting for Zhao Er to answer, Wu Xie first denied this conjecture, bamboo charcoal is just fired from bamboo, and bamboo is almost the best and most popular wood in the world, so it is impossible to run out of stock.

"Who knows? Anyway, the shopkeeper wants to buy, so I'll buy it. Zhao Er smiled innocently, not caring at all.

Wu Xie only thought about it for a moment and put this matter aside, anyway, it didn't matter to him whether the price of bamboo charcoal was going to rise or not. Dr. Wu is a man who concentrates on opening a pharmacy and never gets involved in other businesses, so even if the price of bamboo charcoal rises, they will not get additional benefits.

As for the price increase of bamboo charcoal, it may not be possible to buy it - there is a large bamboo forest outside Wujiaji, and the bamboo charcoal in Wujia Pharmacy has always been fired by itself, so there is no need to worry about running out of stock.

After resting for a while, the carriage continued to set off, and when it arrived at around the unitary hour, it came to the three-way intersection leading to Wujiaji. When you get here, you don't stop by anymore.

Wu Xie thanked Zhao Er, carried the box on the road alone, and walked towards the town.

There were still about ten miles to get from here to the town, and he walked slowly on his feet, just in time to go home for dinner.

But before he had gone two miles, he heard a voice in the woods beside the roadside ahead.

He looked over there suspiciously, and saw that there seemed to be a lot of people in the woods.

Could it be a robber? But isn't it always a smooth road?

Wu Xie was wondering, there was already a loud roar in the woods, and six or so men dressed in tatters and carrying short sticks rushed out under the leadership of a big man with a knife, blocking his way.

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth!" The big man waved his hand, and a thin man with a rough voice waved the short wooden stick in his hand, and shouted viciously, "If you don't want to, kill or bury it!" ”

What a bandit!

Wu Xie was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed dumbly.

"I've been trying to find a few robbers these days, but I can't imagine that any robbers will come to the door......" He put the heavy box on the ground, moved his hands and feet a few times, and hooked his fingers at the robbers, "Let the horses come!" I'd like to see how you guys 'kill and bury'! ”

Before he could finish speaking, his whole body was already like a tiger descending from a mountain, rushing towards the robbers.
