After the rebirth of the queen princess, her farming is also overwhelmed!

Chapter 81 Poor (3rd update)

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zuixiang Tower.

The county magistrate looked at the man with a cold expression on the side, and then at the enthusiastic madam in front of him, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead from time to time.

The Madam saw the aura of official power in Rong Xuan and was a little timid. After finding out that he was mute, he breathed a sigh of relief.

A mute cannot serve as an official in the court, so he is probably a young master from the main court.

The county magistrate should be recognized as the entourage brought out by the young master.

At this time, the attendant took out a piece of silver and asked the old madam if he would accept the business. He wanted to buy a person's severed palm.

The old bustard's eyes flashed, he looked at the silver on the table, and laughed dryly: "Hey, I'm so rude, why am I so rude? I let others cut off my hands at every turn. This scares the slave family to death."

The young woman is pretentious, which can be said to be interesting, but the old madam is still showing off her lusty appearance. The county magistrate always thinks that she looks like a toad that can eat people, which is scary.

The county magistrate turned to look at Rong Xuan and sighed: "She may think our order is too small and she is unwilling to accept it. Let's go to another place to have a look."

He put the silver back into the bag, tied it tightly with a rope, and stood up to leave.

The madam hesitated for a while, but when he saw that they looked the same, he was actually ready to leave. He quickly ran to the door, closed the door, and turned around and said seriously: "Whose severed hand do you two want to buy? How much is the price?"

The county magistrate turned back to look at Rong Xuan, his face changed severely, and his eyes widened as if to say: Brother Rong, it's her, it's them, the case has come to light!

Rong Xuan pushed him away, opened the door and walked out.

The county magistrate and the madam were stunned at the same time.

County Magistrate: Hasn’t the case been solved?

Madam: Not here for trading?

The old bustard came to his senses and wanted to retain the county magistrate: "Master, tell me the specific situation clearly, and the price will be easy to negotiate."

The county magistrate pushed her away in embarrassment and sighed pretentiously: "My brother has a bad temper. You don't want to do our business, so you pissed him off. I'll go get him back."

The old madam looked at his cowardly look, and was unwilling to give in, so she still coaxed her and said: "Oh, my mother is indeed overly cautious about this matter. Why don't you give me a deposit of fifty taels first, and then you can get the other man's money?"

Are we discussing the specific situation when we find you?"

Her eyes were shining, and she secretly stared at the money bag on the magistrate's waist.

The county magistrate also got smart and held her hand, looking at her eagerly: "Don't worry, I only have these fifty taels of silver, but my brother..."

He made a gesture, and when he saw the madam's eyes widening on purpose, he chuckled: "Just wait here for me, I have to chase him back quickly, otherwise he will enter another store, and it will be your loss, mother."

Upon hearing this, the madam immediately let go of his arm and told him to go back quickly.

The magistrate ran out of the flower building, having the illusion of escaping from the clutches of the devil.

Rong Xuan was waiting for him at the street corner, and the two of them entered another flower house.

The business of this flower house was obviously better, and the madam was even more unscrupulous. He directly asked them if they wanted to cut off one palm or two palms. The prices were different.

The county magistrate was shocked. Is this buying pork?

The old bustard smiled slightly: "One palm is one hundred taels of silver, and two palms are one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Of course, this is the price for ordinary people. If you are a noble person, the price will be negotiated separately."

The county magistrate was surprised, but he still said seriously: "Whose severed palm do you want to buy? Can you all remove it for us?"

The madam raised her lips and smiled: "It depends on whose severed palm I want. If you have a high status...you must pay a deposit of 100,000 taels first. We will get it at all costs."

"One hundred thousand taels?" The county magistrate shook his head: "What if you can't do it?"

The madam said in a confident tone: "Then it must be that the noble person's status is too high. If you think about the noble person's status, we can only do our best. If it doesn't work, we will refund half of your deposit."

The county magistrate understood that human organs could be bought and sold in this way.

He hesitated: "What about that person's life do we want?"

The old bustard raised his brows and said, "That's okay, one thousand taels per life, and a deposit of one hundred thousand taels for the noble's life."

The county magistrate completely understood, and he did not dare to ask any more questions for fear of arousing suspicion.

Rong Xuan's eyes indicated that he could leave.

The county magistrate's heart was bitter, and the corners of his lips were even bitterer: "One hundred taels is too expensive, and I only have fifty taels in hand..."

The madam watched him squeeze the money bag tightly, and it seemed that there was indeed an ingot of gold in it.

The old bustard said considerately: "You can give fifty taels as a deposit first, and when you get the remaining fifty taels together, we will send out the task."

The county magistrate smiled bitterly and said: "We made a deposit of fifty taels, and we will probably have to sleep on the street tonight."

Rong Xuan took out a copper plate from his waist and placed it in front of the madam.

The madam looked at Rong Xuan blankly, not understanding what he meant.

The magistrate wanted to run away, but Rong Xuan stared at him and motioned for him to speak.

The county magistrate took a deep breath and explained to the old bustard: "He gave you these copper coins..."

He wants to give you the deposit, but he can't say it.

The old bustard suddenly realized: "Young Master rewarded me? Thank you very much!"

Rong Xuan frowned and shook his head.

The county magistrate had no choice but to say quickly: "This is the deposit he gave. Please understand, we are really short of money."

The madam's face instantly turned blue. Resisting the urge to beat them out, he stood up coldly and said, "Come back when you two have collected enough money to see the guests off!"

Rong Xuan stood up quickly, picked up the copper coin on the table, and left with his hands behind his back.

The county magistrate followed him wiping cold sweat.

The madam spat out a wisp of saliva: "He looks like a dog, but he's poor. Bah!"

After leaving the flower building, the two people did not enter other flower buildings and found an inn to rest.

Li Chun and the other two detectives had already found an inn to rest.

The county magistrate asked Rong Xuan what he should do tomorrow. Rong Xuan wrote one word on the table: return.

When they woke up early in the morning, the county magistrate and Rong Xuan had breakfast, returned to the vicinity of the old Huajie alley, found the other two detectives and Li Chun, and asked them to pack their things and prepare to return to Qingshan Town.

When leaving Fucheng, the carriage was jammed halfway along the road.

The county magistrate asked the police to inquire, and found out that today was the day when the Su and Zhao families got married.

The county magistrate thought these two surnames sounded familiar.

The policeman quickly explained: "My lord, you may have forgotten that Mr. Futai's surname is Su."

The county magistrate suddenly realized, "That's it."

The detective added: "I heard that this Zhao family is not simple at all. He is a fellow magistrate of Youzhou and the next one..."

He whispered two words quietly.

After all, I haven't taken a seat yet.

The county magistrate glared at him: "Who did you listen to?"

The policeman chuckled: "I went to inquire, and they all said so. Zhao Tongzhi has been working in Futaiyuan recently."

Su Zhi was preparing to be promoted back to Beijing, so he didn't go to the government office for a while. Zhao Tongzhi considered himself the next government official and moved directly into the government office.
