This time, Zhang Qi's son gambled with others again, losing thousands of taels of silver, and the casino deducted Zhang Qi's son. The casino said that if Zhang Qi did not pay off his son's gambling debts within three days, they would beat Zhang Qi's son to death.

Zhang Qi is such a lone seedling, in order to redeem his son, in desperation, he had to decide to take out a hundred-year-old wild mountain spirit that has been treasured by the family for generations and sell it.

Zhang Qi has already sent letters to the people with heads and faces in the county, and whoever bids high and the price can satisfy him, he will sell the wild mountain spirit to whomever he wants.

Sun Baicao and Zhang Qi are peers, peers are enemies, on weekdays, the relationship between Sun Baicao and Zhang Qi is not good, and when he got the news, it was already the next day. Sun Baicao knew that Li Wenjun had been looking for this herb from the previous year, so he immediately asked Sun Jianing to go over and inform Li Wenjun.

After listening to Sun Jianing's story, Li Wenjun couldn't hold back his excitement, spread his feet, and ran towards Zhang Qi's house as fast as possible. Sun Jianing followed behind him panting.

When he ran to Zhang Qi's house, Sun Jianing held on to the wall, like a fish on the shore, opened his mouth, and desperately breathed in the dry and cold air.

Li Wenjun was better than Sun Jianing, but he also gasped for a while before he recovered. When he looked up, he saw that the black lacquered door of Zhang Qi's house was open, and there were many richly dressed people going in and out of Zhang Qi's house. These people all rushed over to see the wild mountain spirits, like this kind of herbs that are hundreds of years old, when it is critical, they can save lives, and none of the rich and noble families will be too much, and they are eager to be able to prepare a few more.

"Let's go, Brother Wen Jun, let's go in. Sun Jianing took a breath and said.

When Li Wenjun and Sun Jianing entered Zhang Qi's house, they saw that the door of the hall was also open, and Zhang Qi was standing in the middle of the hall, and next to him, there was a table of eight immortals, a big red box, and it was placed on the table of eight immortals. Many people gathered around the Eight Immortals Table and stared at the big red box.

Behind Zhang Qi, there were also several people dressed as martial artists, they were all bodyguards invited by Zhang Qi from the martial arts hall, and their duty was to prevent someone from doing anything to rob the wild mountain spirits.

Li Wenjun leaned over, Zhang Qi didn't stop him, he only recognizes silver now, even if he is a madman, as long as he can come up with enough silver, he can let the madman see enough.

Li Wenjun squeezed into the crowd and looked at the contents of the big red box, which was a palm-sized, dry-looking crumpled tuber, similar in shape to sun-dried ginger.

From the outside, it is difficult to tell if it is a hundred-year-old herb. This requires the judgment of an experienced person.

However, Li Wenjun has his own judgment. Zhang Qi's family is also a generation of medicine collection, how many years of accumulated reputation, unless their family does not want to do this business in the future, or do not plan to live in Sanshan County, otherwise, it is impossible for him to take fake or not old enough herbs to fool everyone.

Seeing this piece of wild mountain essence, Li Wenjun decided to get it in his hands no matter what, he walked to Zhang Qi's side, arched his hand towards Zhang Qi, and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how much are you going to sell this piece of wild mountain essence?"

"This little brother, it's not how much money I plan to sell, but how much money you plan to pay? I have the highest price here, do you see that Boss Ning next to him doesn't, he plans to pay nine hundred taels of silver to buy this wild mountain spirit of mine, can you pay a higher price than him?"

"Nine hundred taels?" Li Wenjun gasped, nine hundred taels of silver, it's not that he can't take it out, but if he takes out this money, he won't have a few taels of silver left. In the future, there will be more places to use silver, and it is impossible for him to ignore everything in order to get this wild mountain spirit. "Uncle Zhang, can't it be cheaper?"

Zhang Qi waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you don't have money, you don't have to open your mouth, I'm still waiting for the silver to save my life, how can I sell it to you cheaply?"

As soon as he heard this, Li Wenjun knew that there was no play. He was unwilling to leave, he pulled Sun Jianing, walked to the courtyard, found a corner, sat down, he had to think about it, whether he wanted to take out nine hundred taels of silver and get this piece of wild mountain essence.

Li Wenjun had just sat down, and before he had time to calculate the benefits and losses, he heard a noise outside the gate of Zhang Qi's house.

"Dodge, dodge. ”

The click of horses' hooves knocking on the bluestone pavement stopped abruptly outside Zhang Qi's house. A moment later, Wu Xuemei, surrounded by a group of officials, broke in violently.

Everyone, including Zhang Qi, was chuckling in their hearts, and Zhang Qi came out of the hall and greeted Wu Xuemei while complaining.

"Grass farmer Zhang Qi, meet the eldest lady. Zhang Qi bowed deeply to Wu Xuemei.

Wu Xuemei stood in front of Zhang Qi and said, "Miss Ben heard that you have a hundred-year-old wild mountain spirit here, ready to sell, but is there such a thing?"

Zhang Qi had the intention to deny it, but he was worried that he would annoy Wu Xuemei. He had no choice but to tell the truth and replied, "It is true." ”

"Where's the wild mountain spirit? Hurry up and take it out for me to see. Wu Xuemei commanded.

Zhang Qi was very reluctant, but there was no way, he got up, went back to the house, took out the wild mountain spirit and the big red box together, and handed it to Wu Xuemei.

Next to Wu Xuemei, there stood a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat and a beard under his chin. Wu Xuemei handed him the box and said, "Please help me take a look." ”

Sun Jianing grabbed Li Wenjun's arm, he pointed to the middle-aged man, and whispered to Li Wenjun: "Brother Wenjun, I know this person." He is the pharmacist of the Rejuvenation Hall, the largest pharmacy in Fucheng, and I remember his surname is Kong, and he is amazing. My father once went to Fucheng to buy medicine a few times, and met him twice. By the way, Brother Wen Jun, do you know the Rejuvenation Hall? It is the largest pharmacy in Fucheng, and the doctors in the town are amazing, I heard that even the prefect is sick, and he is looking for a doctor there. ”

The middle-aged man took the box, took out a clean white cloth, put it on his hand, and then picked up the wild mountain spirit. He picked it up, smelled it, looked at it, and after a while, he reluctantly put the wild mountain spirit back.

"Good stuff, really good stuff. When this wild mountain spirit is harvested, the vintage should be between 180 and 190 years. Zhang Jiacai was a little anxious, if he could wait for more than ten years, it would grow into an even more precious two-hundred-year-old herb. The middle-aged man said with emotion.

No one thought that this was a nearly 200-year-old herb, and it was self-evident which was more important than the 200-year-old and the 100-year-old.

Li Wenjun's heart suddenly became hot, and he regretted it a little, he should have directly quoted a thousand taels just now to buy this wild mountain spirit.

Of course, Li Wenjun also knew that his idea was a bit wishful thinking, Zhang Qi was bent on selling at a high price, so Zhang Qi must extend the time as long as possible to attract more high rollers. Today is only the second day, there are still more than a day to go before the casino said that there are three days, even if he offers a thousand taels, Zhang Qi will not let him take the wild mountain spirit away immediately, he will only let him continue to wait.

This will definitely have to wait until Wu Xuemei comes over. Even if Wu Xuemei doesn't come, there may be other high-rollers coming. Perhaps, he won't even be able to get the wild mountain spirit, and the wild mountain spirit will change hands.

A spark of surprise burst out of Wu Xuemei's eyes, she reached out and took the wild mountain spirit back from the middle-aged man's hand, then covered the box and handed it to the yacha who was standing beside her. Then he said: "Zhang Qi, this wild mountain spirit, Miss Ben wants it." You make an offer. ”

The green tendons on Zhang Qi's anxious head jumped, but he couldn't do anything at all. His heart was bleeding, but he could only endure it and said, "Miss, my wild mountain spirit is being sold publicly, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”

"The one with the highest price wins, I see. As soon as Wu Xuemei stretched out her hand, she took out a gold ingot weighing ten taels from the money bag, one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, which was one hundred taels of silver.

Wu Xuemei lifted the gold and said loudly: "Miss Ben bid ten taels of gold, is there anything higher than Miss Ben's bid?"

All the people were silent, and all the people present were natives of Sanshan County, who didn't know Wu Xuemei? Everyone knew that this was the eldest lady of the county lord's daughter, the pearl in her palm, and she was deeply favored by the county lord. Her domineering and domineering is well-known in the entire Sanshan County. Who dares to risk offending the county master to touch Wu Xuemei's moldy head?

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads, Wu Xuemei showed a sneer, she moved the lotus step, walked to Zhang Qi, put the gold ingot in Zhang Qi's hand, and said, "Zhang Qi, you have also seen that no one has bid higher than Miss Ben." So, this wild mountain spirit belongs to Miss Ben. ”

Zhang Qi held the ten taels of gold ingots, wanting to cry without tears, he sobbed his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"What, are you still dissatisfied?" Wu Xuemei's pretty face sank and asked.

Yacha, who was standing behind Wu Xuemei, shook the iron chain in his hand that was specially used to lock people, and looked at Zhang Qi with a sneer. As long as Zhang Qi said half a "no", he would go up and lock up people, first charge Zhang Qi indiscriminately, and put him in the county jail.

Although Zhang Qi wanted to save his son, he also knew that once he was imprisoned, he would have no chance to save his son. He hurriedly said, "Miss, I have nothing to dissatisfaction with. It's just that I promised the big guy that I would publicize the wild mountain spirit for three days, and this is only a day and a half......"

"Oh, I see. You're worried that someone will bid higher. It doesn't matter, if anyone bids higher than Miss Ben, let him go to the county office to find Miss Ben, and Miss Ben will give him the wild mountain spirit. What else do you have to worry about?" asked Wu Xuemei.

Zhang Qi shook his head and said busily: "It's gone, I'm gone." Miss, you've been so thoughtful. ”
