During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Finally, after sending all the Guo family members away, Boss Ye didn't want to delay for a moment and wanted to quickly pick up his wife and daughter and take them home.
Before he turned around to get in the car, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind.
Boss Ye instinctively raised his hand to grab the man's wrist and threw him over his shoulder on the spot.
I saw a man with a goatee being thrown to the ground.
"Ouch, it hurts so much!"
Boss Ye frowned and said, "I don't even know you, why are you taking pictures of me?"
The man with the goatee also felt aggrieved: "Aren't you here waiting for a job? I patted your shoulder to talk to you!"
Boss Ye then realized that he had misunderstood. He quickly pulled the man up and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I came here to see someone off and was just about to leave!"
But the man with goatee turned a deaf ear to him. After standing up, he kept looking at Boss Ye's figure and even reached out to pinch his arm.
Boss Ye was made uncomfortable all over by him and took two steps back before escaping from his clutches.
"Just talk properly and don't use your hands."
The goatee man was very pleased with Boss Ye's physique and asked, "Do you know any martial arts?"
"What exactly do you want to do? Can you just tell me directly? If you don't tell me, I'll leave." Boss Ye said as he was about to get in the car.
The man with the goatee quickly stopped him and said, "To tell you the truth, I have a job of escorting people out of town, and I'm short of a few people, so I want to find some strong men who know martial arts.
"I think you're a good fit, would you like to come with me and give it a try?
"You won't be treated unfairly for a trip. The round trip will take less than a month, and I'll give you five taels of silver!"
When Boss Ye heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted. After all, there was nothing on the mountain at this season, and spring plowing at home had not yet started, so he wouldn't make much money by staying at home.
However, he had never been on a convoy before, so he was a little undecided.
Seeing that he was interested, the man with the goatee was about to offer some persuasion when someone behind him suddenly interrupted, "Boss Cheng, you're hiring a tiger-slaying hero praised by the Emperor for just five taels of silver. No wonder your business is growing!"
When Boss Ye heard this, he turned his head and saw Mu Zheng appearing from nowhere.
The man with a goatee, who was called Boss Cheng, was obviously acquainted with Mu Zheng. When he heard what he said, his eyes widened in surprise.
"The emperor himself praised him? He's a tiger-fighting hero?" He turned to look at Boss Ye and said in surprise, "Could this be Ye Qingchen, the warrior Ye?"
Boss Ye didn't expect that he was actually quite famous in Beijing. Boss Cheng actually called out his name in one breath.
Mu Zheng raised his arm and placed it on Boss Ye's shoulder, smiling and saying, "That's right! Boss Cheng, tell me, what can they do for five taels of silver?"
Boss Cheng quickly said, "Oh, I didn't recognize the real man, no wonder you threw me so hard just now.
"Master Ye, as long as you agree, we can negotiate the price!"
Boss Ye had no idea about the market and had no idea how to make an offer. He was hesitating whether to say eight or ten taels of silver.
Mu Zheng beside him had already stretched out his hand and said, "One price, fifty taels. If you agree, it's a deal. If you don't, forget it."
Boss Cheng was not scared by the price, but Boss Ye was shocked.
Boss Cheng said with embarrassment: "Master Mu, logically speaking, considering Mr. Ye's status, fifty taels is not a high price."
Boss Ye was shocked again and thought to himself, this is not high enough?
Little did they know that this was just a prelude to bargaining.
"If it's mine, I'll pay you a hundred taels of silver, not to mention fifty. With Master Ye following us all the way, we'll feel more at ease, right?
"but……"
When he heard him say these two words, Mu Zheng said first: "Don't be so nagging, just tell us the number!"
"You see, thirty..." Boss Cheng said tentatively.
Boss Ye thought that thirty taels was already a lot.
But Boss Cheng looked at Mu Zheng and seemed dissatisfied. He changed his tone and continued, "...How about thirty-five taels?"
"At least forty-five taels!" Mu Zheng said with a look of reluctance, "Boss Cheng, you should know that this is my brother Ye's first time taking a job. If it gets out, isn't it just to create momentum and save face for you?
"Think about it, someone the emperor personally praised is also a tiger-slaying hero. You won't find another one like him in the entire capital!"
"Forty-five is too high!" Boss Cheng seemed to really want to hire Boss Ye, and after haggling with Mu Zheng for a long time, he said, "Master Mu, how about this? Let's each make a concession and give him forty taels of silver.
"I'll pay the extra five taels of silver, just to make friends with Master Ye.
"We can cooperate again if we have the chance in the future, what do you think?"
Mu Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Never mind, it's a bargain for you!"
"Okay!" Boss Cheng said happily, "Master Ye, I still need to continue looking for someone. Come see me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when you're free, and I'll tell you what's going on."
After Boss Cheng finished speaking, he walked towards the crowded area, intending to find a few more people.
Boss Ye was still confused and didn't even know what the assignment was. Mu Zheng just decided on it with just a few words.
"Master Mu, what kind of job is Boss Cheng offering so much money for? Can I do it?"
Mu Zheng patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Ye, how could I possibly harm you!
“I know his mission. A nobleman in the capital wants to marry his daughter off.
"My daughter is a daughter I had in my old age. She is very favored and has a generous dowry. The man's family will come to pick her up in a few days.
"This gentleman intends to hire an escort agency to transport his daughter and her dowry.
