Chapter 174 This is too rude
Xie Jingrong glanced at him and said calmly, "I don't think it's necessarily 200 years old. If it was, he wouldn't have waited until today to send it. Besides, whether it's there or not, I don't need it anymore."
Two hundred years is not a small amount, it is also a treasure. If it is really found, with the temper of County Magistrate Qiao, how can he wait? I am afraid it would have been sent to the inn long ago.
It's better not to get involved with a person like this. He already has a five-hundred-year-old one, what else does he need it for?
Le Zhengxiao was stunned. "How can this be possible? Isn't it true that he can deceive people by lying? Can't the Xie family find someone who knows the business to identify it?"
Xie Jingrong: "So what? He is not an expert in this business. After he finds out that he made a mistake, he might even prepare a gift and go to the Xie family to apologize, claiming that he was also deceived."
Le Zhengxiao: “.”
"Tsk tsk, these officials are so scary!"
Xie Jingrong smiled and tapped the coffee table with his knuckles from time to time, thinking to himself that that was not the case, so after he passed the imperial examination, he was unwilling to take part in the imperial examination again.
Anyway, the Xie family doesn't need someone else to serve as an official.
As an official, Mr. Qiao was a little dumbfounded at the moment.
Young Master Xie's followers did not give him a good look. They looked distant and indifferent. They handed the things back without letting him say anything, and turned around and rode away on their horses.
Lord Qiao felt very ashamed. He scolded Master Lu with a dark face and went to find Mrs. Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao was also stunned.
"This... this can't be possible. It's a rule not to hit someone who smiles at you. The master also means well, but how could Mr. Xie do this! This is too rude!"
Lord Qiao was annoyed: "Who said it wasn't? This Mr. Xie is really abominable! If I had known earlier, I would have gone to see him off in person."
If he goes to deliver it in person, Mr. Xie will feel embarrassed to come back, right?
However, now that things have come to this, the couple can do nothing but complain behind their backs.
It’s all Mr. Xie’s fault for being so unkind and ignorant of the ways of the world.
“What a pity”
Master Qiao sighed, gritted his teeth, and expressed a faint envy: "I don't know who actually found the 500-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and snatched this favor."
Mrs. Qiao's mind moved, "Since the master wants to know, let's have someone check it out. The thank-you gift from Mr. Xie must be quite a lot. How could an ordinary family have seen so much silver? He must have been showing it off everywhere. Besides, it's hard to find Polygonum multiflorum of such an old age. If someone finds it, they can't hide it from others. Someone will know about it. It's very easy to check."
Mr. Qiao thought about it and nodded slowly: "Yes, it's time to check it out."
He had to find out who it was first. Maybe he could establish a relationship with the Xie family through this person. Even if that wasn't possible, he had to find out who it was. Only then would he feel at ease. Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable.
Lord Qiao gave instructions to Master Lu.
Master Lu considered this as "making up for his crime" and promised that he would get to the bottom of the matter within three days.
He also thought that this was easy to investigate. Who would not be proud and show off to the whole village if they found such a good thing and gained such a great benefit?
Let the police go to every village and ask questions, and the truth will be revealed.
Unexpectedly.
Three days passed and there was no news.
There is not even a trace!
Master Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and report to Lord Qiao.
Master Qiao was so angry, how could such a small matter not be handled properly? He did not believe it, so he summoned a few constables who were in charge of the case to ask them personally, and the result proved that what Master Lu said was true.
