As soon as the aunt heard this, she quickly said: "I'll sell it! Twenty-eighty cents is twenty-eighty cents, nothing less.

The aunt then packed up the things, and Mrs. Wang put the side dishes into the basket behind her and looked in again.

Obviously, Hu's family has quite a few servants, and that dish alone is definitely not enough.

Mrs. Wang picked several dishes one after another, and they all bargained in the same way as before.

Seeing that she is an acquaintance, and the Hu family is a regular customer here, in order to keep the business, the surrounding farmers are willing to lower the price to him.

Lin Zhizhou secretly followed Mrs. Wang, almost learning her bargaining skills.

After shopping around, Mrs. Wang came to the pork stall again.

The owner of the pork stall was shirtless, and when he saw Mrs. Wang, he said enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law Wang, you are here again. How much do you want today?"

Mrs. Wang directly pointed to a piece of lean meat, "I want this piece."

Lin Zhizhou thought that the whole piece of pork must have weighed more than ten catties.

The surprise this time was that Mrs. Wang didn't bargain directly, but took the pork with one hand and paid with the other, saying: "The price is still the same as before."

The owner of the pork stall said with a smile: "Of course, I will give you the lowest price every day no matter how high or low it is.

Although Mrs. Wang is a frequent customer of the pork stall, the owner of the pork stall is willing to give her a low price.

Lin Zhizhou thought that the people around him were not easy to do anything, so he could only consciously follow Mrs. Wang.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang has no kung fu and no discernment, so she didn't realize that Lin Zhizhou had been following her.

It took more than an hour to walk around the whole market.

Lin Zhizhou was already a little impatient, so Mrs. Tian walked home with a box full of ingredients.

On the way, I only heard Mrs. Wang singing a song with a smile.

Sister-in-law Wang is about fifty years old, and her children should have been married. She is at the age of enjoying the blessings. At this time, she is still working as an errand in the Hu family, which is enough to show that she has good cooking skills and is deeply trusted by the Hu family.

Lin Zhizhou believed that he would be able to pry some useful information from Mrs. Wang.

He followed Aunt Wang, seeing that Aunt Wang was about to go back to Hu's house, so he found a place with few people and went straight to it.

Lin Zhizhou covered Mrs. Wang and dragged her to the alley.

Mrs. Wang screamed out in fright, but her mouth was gagged after only one cry.

Then he was easily dragged into a dark place.

When Mrs. Wang slowed down, she was already tied up by Lin Zhizhou with hemp rope.

However, no matter how strong she was, she couldn't break free.

Lin Zhizhou held a knife in his hand, and there was still blood on the knife that was not wiped off last time

This really scared Mrs. Wang.

She shrank her hind legs in fright, and murmured: "Don't kill me, I don't have any money with me, the money I brought out today is all for buying vegetables, if you want, I will give you my basket of vegetables , don't kill me."

Lin Zhizhou looked at her with a veil on his face and said, "I won't kill you, I just ask you some questions.

Aunt Wang obviously didn't believe his words, she shrank and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"You know the maid Xiao Taohua next to Miss Hu, right?"

Miss Hu San is Hu Ji, and Ji is the third child in the family.

He always called her Miss Hu San, but called her imperial concubine.

Mrs. Wang has stayed in the Hu family for so many years, so she naturally knows that Miss Hu San is Hu Ji.

After turning around in my mind, I remembered the disappearing girl Xiao Taohua who followed Hu Ji.

"You said that little girl, what happened to him?" Aunt Wang asked tentatively.

"Where is her family? How many people are there in the family?"

Seeing that Lin Zhizhou asked about Xiao Peach Blossom. It didn't involve the Hu family, and Mrs. Wang didn't hide it either.

"Her family lives in Sanli Lane. There are only four people in the family. His mother, father, and brother are working in the Hu Mansion, so I still have some impressions of that little girl.

Sanli Lane is not too small, about the size of the Fourth Ring Road in Xianyang City.

In other words, Xiao Taohua's family is not so poor that living on the fifth ring road is not considered a peasant household.

There were hundreds of households living in the entire Sanli Lane. Lin Zhizhou couldn't find Xiao Taohua's home just with the information provided by Mrs. Wang.

So he picked up Mrs. Wang, who was taken aback and said anxiously, "..."Didn't you just say you won't kill me?"

"I don't want to kill you, you take me to Little Peach Blossom's pond.

Upon hearing this simple request, Mrs. Wang immediately agreed: "I'll take you there, but you can't kill me."

In order to avoid drawing too much attention with Mrs. Wang, he stuffed Mrs. Wang into the carriage that he had prepared (with money) in advance, and then let her lead the way.

Mrs. Wang sat in the carriage, and Lin Zhizhou sat beside her.

The sword in Lin Zhizhou's hand has been withdrawn from its scabbard, but he is sitting by the side at the moment, feeling cold all over his body.

Although Lin Zhizhou promised not to kill Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang was still uneasy, and she was very afraid that she would be killed after finding Xiao Taohua for her.

But at this moment, she could only compromise and take Lin Zhizhou, otherwise she might not survive now.

Letting her guide the way, the groom quickly brought the two of them to Sanli Lane.

There are more people living near Sanli Lane than near Xianyang Huangdu. As soon as he got off the carriage [Lin Zhizhou], he saw children and women running around on the noisy street. .
