Chapter 12: Ginseng

For more than half a month, Tang Xiuyue has also raised a little meat on her face, her little face is much whiter and tenderer, and her facial features are already delicate and beautiful, Tang Jingyun doesn't dare to let her go out alone now.

There were no fewer human traffickers in ancient times than in modern times!

Especially yesterday, Tang Jingyun saw Liu Laosan, and if she didn't take Tang Xiuyue with her all the time, she always felt unsteady in her heart.

Once experienced, this time when she arrived at the flower market, Tang Jingyun did not go to the previous shopkeeper to buy seeds, but went to the shop where she bought small hoes and small baskets.

This shop is not as big as the one she used to experiment with, and it is a little cramped because there are small hoes, small back baskets, and braided frames at the door.

However, Tang Jingyun's second visit was not to see these, but the shopkeeper was kind, not to mention the right price, and the quality of the seeds was good, so of course Tang Jingyun would go back and buy again.

Tang Jingyun and Sister Xiaoyue, ten out of ten, selected three hundred lotus seeds, and then took them to the shopkeeper to settle the bill.

Such a large seed cost five pennies in the previous store, and here it is only ten pennies, and the quality of the seeds and live seeds are obviously much better than the previous store.

Tang Jingyun took the cloth bag in his hand and decided to cooperate with the shopkeeper for a long time in the future.

Tang Jingyun pulled Xiaoyue's sister and was about to turn around and leave, when a man rushed in outside the door, followed by several adult men, with angry eyebrows, Tang Jingyun's heart was shocked.

What's going on?

Didn't you come here to find trouble?

Or did the shopkeeper do something infuriating?

Retreating outside the store, looking at the muscles bulging men, Tang Jingyun clenched Tang Xiuyue's hand.

It's okay to watch the excitement, don't lose your sister!

At this time, the vast majority of people outside the flower market gathered around.

The man threw the bag in his hand to the ground, and shouted loudly with red eyes: "Come and see how this profiteer coaxes people!" ”

"I was injured on the way to hunting, and my family had no money to see a doctor, and my brother turned over the contents of my back basket, and a thumb-thick ginseng was coaxed away by this profiteer for three taels of silver and two copper coins! If I don't send this profiteer to the county government to sue Master Qingtian today, I, Wei Zhuang, have lived for twenty years in vain! ”

The strong man said, scarlet eyes and big palms stretched out to catch the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper looked like a frightened chicken, and everyone was even more coaxing, shouting to help the strong man out.

There was more of an uproar, the ginseng with the thickness of the thumb, and some people rushed to buy it for forty or fifty taels of silver in the pharmacy, and the shopkeeper sent people away for five taels of silver, but he was too treacherous and cunning, and he was too unconscionable, and even deceived a child.

Tang Jingyun saw that the shopkeeper was only surprised and not annoyed by others, and even had a little dazed eyes in his eyes, this matter...... It's not easy!

Sure enough, the shopkeeper raised his hand to restrain the strong man's movements, and said calmly: "Brother Wei Zhuang, don't worry!" ”

"I don't know if what you're saying is true or not!"

"Of course it's true, these three taels of silver, two taels of money are still in this bag! Wei Chong followed me up the mountain, and the ginseng was dug up by the two of us together, so why wasn't it real? When the strong man heard this, he was furious, his forehead was bruised, and his eyes were scarlet, as if he wanted to eat people.

"Okay, even if what you say is true, then let me ask you, when and what day did your brother bring ginseng to the store to sell?"

"Just yesterday, I don't know the exact time, but it should have been after nightfall, I passed out, and my brother hurriedly came over to sell, but didn't look at the time." When the strong man said this, his mind was a little clearer.

The shopkeeper also followed up and said, "The customers who bought flower seeds in my shop yesterday know that the old man closed the shop before Shen arrived in the afternoon, and the people in the surrounding shops also know about it. ”

Tang Jingyun knew that what the shopkeeper said was true, if she didn't say it in such a public, would it be exposed, and the character of the shopkeeper who met her twice made her subconsciously feel that this person should not lie.

The strong man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that things could develop like this, and the few men who followed him were also stunned.

The people watching the excitement began to testify for the shopkeeper.

"I came to buy three catties of red-skinned peanuts yesterday afternoon, just before Shen Shi, the boss was the last to receive me, and he closed the door after I left."

"Indeed, Brother Wang's wife's mother's house came yesterday, and he closed the door early to go back to entertain, and he only came to open the door this morning, did your brother recognize the wrong store? If you take a good look at where you sold that ginseng, this kind of profiteer is just too old for us to hang up, shame! ”

"Wei Chong, you go and bring Qingzhu!" After making such a big oolong, the strong man also reacted, he may have really found the wrong person, and the few men who followed him were also embarrassed and ashamed.

"I'm sorry, it's our fault for disturbing your guests, we ...... without verification" The strong man scratched his head, the anger on his face turned to shame, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone has times when they're in a hurry, and I can understand what love is." The shopkeeper has always been easy to talk to, and his tone is also very kind, which makes these Angzang men a little less embarrassed.

After apologizing one by one, the strong man in the lead lifted the cloth bag that had fallen to the ground, turned around and walked out of the store.

Tang Jingyun's heart was relieved, and he was about to turn around and withdraw from the crowd.

"Brother, it's him!"

The male voice in the voice change period was raised slightly, and it became particularly piercing ears, Tang Jingyun held Xiaoyue's sister's hand and subconsciously tightened, and looked back.

The person the young man was pointing to was not the owner of the shop surnamed Wang, but someone else!

This person happened to be Tang Jingyun's acquaintance.

The owner of the shop she first went in!

"Brother, it's him, he told me that the ginseng is broken, and he can't sell it for a good price, so he pays back more than five taels of silver!" The boy emphasized again, his eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

Obviously, this guy estimated that he had just been cleaned up by the guy named Wei Chong, otherwise he wouldn't be so aggrieved.

The strong man who was the leader before looked at the person pointed out by the young man, his eyebrows and eyes sharpened, but he was not as angry as before, but his nose continued to spew hot air, it seems that the flower shop owner is not good at solving it, and he can't be good today.

Seeing the excitement coming in, I had an intuition that I was going to suffer, and the flower shop owner who was about to close the door and run away immediately was caught in vain, and he simply broke the jar and broke it.

"Your ginseng is already broken, and if you take it to the pharmacy, the price will be reduced! I see that your brother said pitiful, kindly bought your ginseng, but I still bought the wrong one?! ”

"I shouldn't have done this!"
