Chapter 10: Strange
"Fuck! You don't have long eyes, do you! Jiang was in an irritable mood when he came to the cost, and now he found that a beggar was coming to get in his way, so he wanted to take this beggar out of his anger.
It's just that when he saw the beggar's face, he said with a little surprise: "Aren't you Mo Yuan's son?" How did you become a beggar? ”
Disgusted, he took three steps back, and Jiang Cheng patted the dust on his body that didn't exist at all.
Mo Zhixuan was already very scared, and now the person in front of him still looked disgusted with him. Afraid that he would know that he had killed the little beggar, he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's because my eyes aren't getting better! You're a big man! Leave me alone! ”
The humble attitude pleased Jiang Cheng, and when he saw Mo Zhixuan's sloppy appearance in front of him, he covered his nose, and then seemed to think of something, "I'll give you money, how about you help me do something?" ”
With a calculating glint in his eyes, Jiang Cheng knew that Mo Zhixuan was now the most advantageous weapon for him to defeat Mo Jiazhuang.
"If you want to give me money, tell me to do anything!" Hearing that there was money to take, Mo Zhixuan's eyes immediately lit up!
I've been hungry for days, not to mention helping with things, just asking him to be a cow or a horse!
took Mo Zhixuan to a restaurant and ordered some food for him, Jiang Cheng told him what he wanted him to do.
"Can you still go back to Mojiazhuang now?"
Although Mo Zhixuan said that he was kicked out, he was also from Mojiazhuang, as long as he didn't make trouble, no one cared if he couldn't go back.
Nodding, Mo Zhixuan continued to gobble up.
Jiang Cheng covered his nose in disgust when he saw him like this, "You help me mess up Mojiazhuang's business, I don't care what way you use!" ”
"I'll give you this number afterwards!" Stretching out five fingers, Jiang Cheng gestured.
"Five hundred taels?!"
"You think beautifully! Fifty taels! If you don't do it, if you don't do it, I'll find someone else! ”
"Do it, do it! I do! As long as you give money, I will definitely help you do it! As if he was afraid that he would regret it, Mo Zhixuan hurriedly agreed.
Yue Qingning has forced Chu Hanye's poison out in the past few days, but in order to prevent the poison from continuing to spread, he still has to help Chu Hanye get a needle every night.
"Eat more lately!" Chu Hanye's sudden words made Yue Qingning stunned.
Reflecting that he was concerned about himself, Yue Qingning felt that something strange was coming from his heart, and that feeling was the feeling of being suddenly cared for.
"Good!" Yue Qingning's voice was full of joy, although she was very tired recently, she was very satisfied to see the villagers of Mojiazhuang slowly starting to get rich under her leadership.
"That's... Can I ask you for one thing? Yue Qingning asked a little cautiously.
Chu Hanye raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's just... Can you bring back the tax revenue that the villagers raised last time? ”
Before Chu Hanye could answer, he heard Yue Qingning say, "If you don't agree, forget it!" Don't force it! ”
chuckled, "When did I say I didn't agree?" ”
I didn't expect Chu Hanye to agree, he was very angry last time.
Seeing that Yue Qingning had already regarded herself as the real owner of Mojiazhuang, Chu Hanye was a little surprised, thinking that this girl only had money in her eyes, but now it seems that it is not.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Mo Zhixuan secretly ran back to Mojiazhuang, and while it was still early and no one came out to work, Mo Zhixuan secretly went to Mojiazhuang's herbal medicine field.
Half a month has passed since the last time the herbs were sold, and the new herbs are ready to ripen, Yue Qingning just wanted to call the people from Linglong Pavilion to come and collect the herbs, and the shopkeeper told her that because of the lack of manpower recently, she asked Yue Qingning to take people to collect them and send them directly to the pharmacy.
Zhao Zhuang and Yue Qingning took the herbs planted by everyone, and drove the carriage to the county seat.
"Ginseng, six taels! Angelica, twelve taels...."
"Huh! The herbs in your Mojiazhuang are very good! The output is also large, and we can cooperate in the future! "The shopkeeper is very satisfied with the herbs sent by Mojiazhuang every time, and the color is very good.
Hearing the affirmation, Zhao Zhuang seemed even happier than Yue Qingning, "Zhuang Master! Hear no! Our herbs in Mojiazhuang are the best! ”
"I heard it, I heard it! Like a hairy boy! When Yue Qingning, who was younger than himself, said this, Zhao Zhuang scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed innocently.
After the settlement was cleared, Yue Qingning and the others were just about to leave, when they heard the shopkeeper say, "Wait!" Miss Yue! You're not Angelica! ”
I saw a grass lying in the shopkeeper's hand, although this grass looks like angelica on the outside, it is not, it is just a weed that looks more similar.
"Miss Yue! That's your fault! How can you deceive us?! ”
The shopkeeper's * received the herb sold as herbs, and thought that he was still praising Yue Qingning for the herbs they sold just now, so his face darkened suddenly, "If you don't do business sincerely, just say it!" Why bother to deceive the old man with those broken grasses! ”
Yue Qingning was also very confused, no, how could it be a weed? It's impossible for the people of the village to do such a thing on purpose!
"Shopkeeper! I'm so sorry! I'll take this herb back and return it to you, I don't know what the situation is, but I'll give you an explanation! ”
Hearing Yue Qingning say this, the shopkeeper's face improved a little, "Hmph! We'll pick your own herbs next time! It's just that we don't want herbs this time! ”
After all, he was reluctant to make such a good herb, and the shopkeeper also took a step back, and did not say that he would not cooperate with Mojiazhuang directly. But the returned herbs couldn't be sold, so Yue Qingning could only take them back.
"Owner! These folks will never do this kind of thing, everyone depends on this to eat, and they won't hurt themselves! Zhao Zhuang was afraid that Yue Qingning would suspect that it was the villagers who did it, so he hurriedly explained.
Nodding, signaling that he knew, Yue Qingning couldn't understand how a good angelica had become a weed.
"Our herbs must have been dropped!"
"Who is so hateful! Let him come out and taste my fist! When Zhao Zhuang heard that the herbs were dropped, he couldn't wait to pull that person out and beat him.
Yue Qingning and Zhao Zhuang returned to the village with the returned herbs.
As soon as they came back, everyone came up in anticipation and asked with concern, but they didn't notice that the faces of the two were not quite right.
"How? How much did it sell this time! I promised my child to sell it this time and buy her a new dress! Aunt Li was very excited to see Yue Qingning coming back.
Although there seemed to be something bulging in the carriage, she didn't care. Everyone thought it was something that the two of them bought.
"Alas! Don't mention it, the herbs have been dropped, our herbs have been returned, and people refuse to ask for them! Zhao Zhuang was very sad when he thought that the herbs that the big guy had worked so hard to grow were wasted like this.
Hearing Zhao Zhuang's words, everyone still didn't believe it, Aunt Li smiled and said, "Hahaha! Zhao Zhuang, don't lie to us! My kids are still waiting! The owner hasn't spoken yet! ”
Everyone thought about it, yes, Yue Qingning hasn't spoken yet, nine times out of ten, it was sold for a good price, and Zhao Zhuang lied to them.
Seeing that the villagers didn't believe it, Zhao Zhuang felt very sorry for everyone, this little thing couldn't be done, and he slapped himself angrily, "It's all my fault!" I don't even know if I was dropped! ”
Seeing that Yue Qingning didn't speak, Aunt Li's heart chuckled, "Zhuang Master!" It can't be true, can it? You have something to say! ”
Yue Qingning nodded, and everyone's hearts sank to the bottom, "His grandmother's!" Who did such a lack of virtue! If you want my old man to catch me, I have to call him crying dad and mother! ”
Everyone was very angry, and they were looking forward to buying food with these few silvers, but this was dropped, where to get the money!
"Have they all been dropped?"
"No, it's just that Angelica was dropped, but people had doubts about our batch of goods and refused to ask for it, and other stores also had stable suppliers and refused to accept it!" Zhao Zhuang replied.
The atmosphere sank suddenly, and suddenly someone in the crowd said, "We can go to Lord Chu!" He will definitely help us! ”
When Yue Qingning heard this, she suddenly seemed to think of something, "Don't worry, everyone! I am also responsible for this matter, I will give an explanation to the big guy, everyone give me three days! ”
"I don't know if you have seen any suspicious people appear in our Zhuangzi recently?"
Big guy, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shake their heads to say no.
If there were any new faces in the village, it would be a surprise for the whole village!
"Nope! We were the villagers in the whole village, and no other strange people had ever come in! Aunt Li recalled carefully, and suddenly she seemed to think of something.
"That's right! Most of the people in our whole village have followed the owner to grow herbs, but there is still one family that does not! ”
"You mean the woman from the Zhou family?" Everyone often chatters with Aunt Li, and when they hear her say this, they can't help but be a little suspicious.
"Behold! It's her! I can't see us well, a person behind him makes a stumbling block! Look at the old lady and don't tear her up! She said viciously, and the woman still had a fierce face, as if the Zhou family was about to eat her in front of her.
"It's hard to say! It's just a suspicion! If you have any new clues, please tell me, in short, I will give the big guy a satisfactory answer! Yue Qingning appeased some villagers and promised to find the murderer within three days.
Zhao Zhuang couldn't help but admire Yue Qingning's actions, he admired a woman for being able to take on this kind of responsibility, and couldn't help but be impressed by her.
Yue Qingning didn't know what Zhao Zhuang was thinking, and now his mind was full of how to find out who was sabotaging behind it.
This time, Yue Qingning learned well, and deliberately picked Chu Hanye to discuss with him when he was eating.
"Hey, hey! This fish is delicious, you eat a little more! After speaking, he pushed the fish in front of Chu Hanye, and secretly looked at Chu Hanye's face with his residual vision.
Seeing Chu Hanye's expression faint, thinking that he didn't like to eat fish, Yue Qingning also deliberately described the taste.
"What kind of heart do you have, don't you know if I can't see it now?" Chu Hanye was very helpless, he didn't like to eat fish in the first place, he just asked his subordinates to cook it for her.
"Huh? Sorry, I forgot! Scratching his head embarrassedly, he continued to put back the green vegetables that were originally placed in front of Chu Hanye's eyes.
accidentally slapped the horse's leg when he slapped a sycophant, Yue Qingning was speechless.
"If you have anything, you can say it, don't beat around the bush to please you."
