Chapter 103 The Crazy Taoist Priest Retrieves a Boy



Zhang Xiulin: ...female bandit, definitely a female bandit.

She wanted to go home to find her mother because the world outside was too dangerous.

As Su Qi turned to leave, Gu Beiheng gave his men a signaling look. Zhao Wu and the others turned their men vigorously, and all the guards stayed here.

Only Zhang Xiulin and two maids who fainted from fright were left.

The legs of Yao Zhubu's family members were also trembling. When these people moved their hands, the bad guys' necks were broken.

"Sir, ma'am. We didn't see anything."

Su Qi walked over and took a look, "If you see anything, it would be equivalent to offending the prefect of Jinyang Prefecture."

Madam Yao saluted Su Qi and the others and said calmly, "Madam, those who followed us are all loyal people. They did not betray their master and flee even in such a dangerous situation just now.

I understand what Madam means. We have never seen it before."

"The old lady is very insightful." Su Qi got on the carriage with the help of Gu Beiheng's arm. She asked the lady and maid of the Yao Mansion to get on the carriage as well.

The rest of the people rode on the horses of Zhao Wu and others.

Zhao Wu left a mark and asked people disguised as the escort agency to clean up the scene.

As for Zhang Xiulin?

No one cares about her.

Su Qi was sure that Zhang Xiulin would not dare to tell the Jinyang Prefecture Governor about what happened between them, at least not before she was detoxified.

And Su Qi poisoned her.

She was confident that no one in Yunzhou City could solve the problem.

This is a poison specially developed by her master, the old monster.

It's not just herbs that will do.

The carriage arrived at the town ahead and the two families separated.

Madam Yao turned around and instructed her grandson and daughter-in-law:

"Although we have never met them, we must remember their kindness."

The Yao family kid watched Su Qi and their carriage leave without moving:

"Grandma, your grandson remembers."

Su Qi and his friends arrived at Fengling Ferry and boarded a ferry to the other side.

Standing in the cabin, feeling the cold river breeze.

Su Qi's thoughts were drawn far away.

"The waves are pretty big today. We have to remind the passengers not to let their children walk to the side of the boat." The captain reminded his men.

Someone laughed and said:

"Captain, you heard that a child fell overboard more than twenty days ago. I heard that the child's mother also jumped into the river later."

"But have you heard? A crazy Taoist priest rescued a boy. Do you think it could be that child? He named him Feng Jiangsheng."

Su Qi turned around and heard what those people said.

"Young man, do you know where Feng Jiangsheng and the Taoist priest went?" There were stars in Su Qi's eyes.

"I don't know. He was taken away by a lame Taoist priest." Someone asked Su Qi curiously, "Madam, do you know his family?"

Su Qi shook her head slightly, "I'm just a little curious." In her heart, she still hoped that Feng Jiangsheng was An An.

Before we reached Mingfeng Town, the weather started to get hot again.

It doesn't even feel like early winter, it feels more like autumn.

The snow had melted long ago, but the crops in the fields suffered.

The crops grown in Jinyang Prefecture are basically not frost-resistant, except for winter wheat.

"Beiheng, shall we go to the charcoal shop first?" Su Qi stuck her head out of the carriage, and pedestrians hurried past along the way.

A farmer carried a shovel to the field, his face full of worry, looking a little overwhelmed.

Farming means relying on the weather for your livelihood.

Suddenly one day, I couldn’t understand the sky anymore.

How can these farmers survive?

Gu Beiheng asked the others to go to Mengjiazhuang first, and he, Su Qi, Zhou Dashan, and Wei Dagou entered Mingfeng Town.

There were two little beggars hiding near Gu's charcoal shop. They kept staring at the customers coming and going. When they saw Su Qi and his carriage stopped.

The little beggar shouted towards the door of the charcoal shop:

"A visitor has arrived."

Little Luozi ran out and saw Su Qi and Gu Beiheng. He hurriedly smiled and took the small stool from the carriage and put it on the ground.

"Boss, Madam Boss. I haven't been to the shop for a while. Our business has been very good these days."

Su Qi put her feet on the stool. Xiao Luozi put a towel on her arm and stretched out her arm for Su Qi to help her down.

"How's business these past two days?" Su Qi asked softly.

"It's great. Even merchants from Yun County come to our store to purchase goods." Little Luozi couldn't stop smiling.

Since the store is doing good business, they naturally get more bonuses.

Gu Dacheng heard the sound and came out.

A few days ago, I was so idle that I was afraid that mold would grow on the charcoal. These days, I am so busy that I have no time to rest.

As the shopkeeper, he felt very nervous about opening this shop, but then he looked at Gu Beiheng and Su Qi, who seemed to be calm and composed.

"Boss, Madam Boss, let Xiao Luozi pull the carriage to the backyard." Seeing that there were still two people in the carriage who had not gotten off, Gu Dacheng hurriedly made a suggestion.

"Okay. Dashan, you two should go to the backyard and rest for a while. Let the kitchen make you a bowl of noodles."

Gu Beiheng gave instructions to Zhou Dashan and followed Su Qi into the shop.

"Madam, this is the account book." Gu Dacheng took out the account book excitedly.

There is a lot of charcoal sold in retail, but the most is sold in wholesale.

In addition to Mingfeng Town, shops in Yun County and surrounding towns also come to them for wholesale.

A charcoal kiln cannot be built and fired in a few days, so shop owners naturally come to Gu’s Charcoal Shop for wholesale in order to do business.

Su Qi took a look.

In just a few days, he had already earned several hundred taels of silver.

"Silver charcoal and red charcoal are the most expensive. Ordinary charcoal is cheaper, but it's the largest in quantity." Su Qi closed the account book. "I'll give everyone a red envelope at the end of the month."

"Thank you, Madam Boss." Gu Dacheng said happily.

Every morning when he wakes up, his father nags him about being grateful. If the harvest is bad again, life will be difficult for people back home.

Now, some elderly people are glad that they followed the Gu family to Mingfeng Town.

Maybe this is also their blessing.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng inspected the area again.

The two men came to the dock and wanted to see what business there was.

There were no ships docked at the pier today, and there was nothing special about anything else.

Some porcelain jars caught Su Qi's attention. She squatted down and looked at them. They were perfect for storing meat sauce. "Uncle, how much is this porcelain jar?"
