Chapter 273: You guys can’t stop them with just a few men & the strange people on the border of Nanli Kingdom
The county magistrate's eyes were gloomy and his fat belly shook.
"Who found this beggar?"
The county magistrate came over and said, "It's the owner of the newly opened tea shop in Yonghe Town. He's already crying poor before the shop even opens."
"I'm afraid he emptied his family's savings to open this shop. It looks like a decent person, but it's just an empty shell."
The county magistrate's thick lips moved, "Kick him out, he's such a poor fellow.
Since we don't have much money, we can find a few people to cause trouble. We can also take back the shop and rent it out.
How much silver have we collected in total?"
The county magistrate went over the figure in his mind before responding, "More than 80,000 taels of silver."
"Not enough. I have to give 50,000 taels to Zhang Zhizhou. If I divide the rest, how much will I have left?"
"Go buy some moldy, stale grain, mix it with some dirt and sand, and give it to the disaster victims as donations."
The county magistrate's chin was shaking as he spoke.
The county magistrate responded, raised his wine glass and said with a flattering smile:
"Congratulations to the county magistrate for having another beautiful girl."
The county magistrate laughed heartily, with a light in his eyes.
"This one really touched my heart."
The county magistrate calculated that he did not have enough silver, so he naturally would not let these people leave.
The county magistrate's wife also received the news.
Her brows were gloomy, as if someone owed her eighty thousand taels of silver.
"Hmph, I've said all the good and bad things I can say. Doing good deeds will also help you accumulate blessings.
Some people are so ungrateful. Who are you insulting with such a small amount of money?"
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Yunyue.
Shen Yunyue took over the words and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"A word of advice to everyone: Avoid doing things that will destroy your family lineage. If you do something too drastic, you'll likely be punished by heaven."
She slowly looked at the county magistrate's wife and smiled faintly:
"Madam, what I said is correct, isn't it?"
The county magistrate's wife had a heart attack. She felt that Shen Yunyue's words were meant to imply something. Her face darkened, and she looked unhappy.
"We've only collected so little money. It's not even enough to buy much food. It's really embarrassing."
"People are talking about Shihan County, I'm afraid it's not a good thing..."
Shen Yunyue ignored Madam Yang's private words and laughed out loud, "Madam County Magistrate, don't worry.
Everyone says that Shihan County is a place with poor mountains and bad waters, and it breeds unruly people. Bandits have plagued it since ancient times, so how can we have any dignity?
"Mrs. Fu, what are you doing here today?" The second concubine next to the county magistrate's wife slammed the table and scolded.
Shen Yunyue's sharp eyes darkened. "I'm here for the banquet. Wasn't it you who posted the invitation?"
Shen Yunyue stood up while speaking.
"Everyone, I will not accompany you any longer."
The county magistrate's wife looked over with a cold gaze, "Madam Fu, you want to leave now?"
"Of course, you want to stay?"
The county magistrate's wife's face darkened. "How can the county government's backyard be a place where you can come and go as you please?"
Several maids gathered around.
Frightened, Madam Yang quickly stood up to explain, "Madam, this Madam Fu is young and ignorant. Look..."
Shen Yunyue interrupted Madam Yang.
"The county magistrate's wife, I'm afraid you don't know who the last person was who said the same thing to you? It seems like we're old acquaintances."
She raised her eyelids indifferently, her eyes full of sarcasm and a look of contempt for the ants.
The county magistrate's wife blurted out, "Who is it?"
"Qing Gang, Fengtangkou." Shen Yunyue spoke coldly, and seeing the county magistrate's wife's face change drastically, she gloated and said:
"The tea shop I opened is called Yunheng Tea House."
The three words "Yunheng Palace" are well-known.
It is easy to imagine who is behind Yunheng Teahouse?
The county magistrate's wife fell into her chair and looked at Shen Yunyue in disbelief.
"Yun, Yunheng Teahouse?"
Shen Yunyue smiled calmly, "The County Magistrate's wife is also trying to stop me from leaving?"
"With just the few people you have in the county government, you really can't stop them."
Shen Yunyue slammed the table in front of her with her palm.
The table immediately broke into pieces, and Mrs. Yang opened her mouth in surprise.
After a long time, he exclaimed:
“That’s amazing. I love it.”
Ba Nian: ...You like the young lady, does our master agree?
The county magistrate's wife was horrified and her voice trembled.
"Mrs. Fu, please do as you please. Why disturb our harmony?"
Shen Yunyue looked at her deeply.
Then he and Li Weiyang left.
The wife of Yang Zhubu wanted to go out with him, but when she saw the county magistrate's wife looking like she was facing a great enemy, she did not dare to go out.
Li Weiyang didn't say a word and followed Shen Yunyue out closely.
She became more and more aware of Shen Yunyue's extraordinary courage.
The three of them walked outside. The county magistrate's wife had already ordered someone to tell the county magistrate.
Uncle Yun Jiu was standing at the corner not far from the back door.
Seeing the three of them come out, Han Bing's face showed a hint of relief.
His eyes turned to Li Weiyang.
"I figured you'd be out in a moment."
Li Weiyang angrily recounted what had happened, and said with relief:
"That palm strike from Yunyue was really satisfying. What a shame, I was cheated out of so much money by the county magistrate and his family."
"I don't believe that the money will be used for disaster victims."
Shen Yunyue's eyes were deep.
"Of course the money will not be used on the victims." She lowered her eyes. There was still a lot of food in her own space.
A lot of grain has been collected from Yanling Mansion, Ruijunwang Villa... and several families.
There are also quite a few coarse grains in it.
Shen Yunyue thought of using part of the money to help the victims.
"Uncle Jiu, let's look around Shihan County. Are there any suitable shops to buy two?"
Uncle Yun Jiu responded casually.
"Okay, let's go together?"
"You go with Aunt Jiu. We'll go to the teahouse across the street and find a private room to wait for you."
Shen Yunyue deliberately yawned while speaking.
Uncle Yun Jiu didn't think much about it, nodded, and went with Li Weiyang to find a pawnshop.
Shen Yunyue and Bayanian went to the teahouse opposite and asked for a private room.
She used the excuse that she wanted to eat some dim sum from Baiweilou and asked Bayanian to go over and buy some to go with the tea.
Bayan hesitated for a moment.
Shen Yunyue pretended to be angry and said, "I won't leave the private room. Do you think you won't listen to what I say?"
"I dare not. I will go right away."
After Bayan left.
Shen Yunyue took an invisibility pill and left the teahouse in a swagger.
Climb over the wall to the county government office diagonally opposite.
She went into the county government's warehouse and started collecting things.
The food inside is enough to feed the people in the county government for decades, not to mention the old ginseng, dendrobium, and ganoderma lucidum...
Shihan County is located next to the vast Taiping Mountain.
There are many treasures in the mountains.
As the official in charge of the government, the county magistrate can eat these treasures as dishes.
Collected these.
Shen Yunyue also put all the cloth, fur, precious huanghuali, red sandalwood, and agarwood in the warehouse into the space.
The little idiot in the space screamed.
"Master, your ability to make money is too strong."
After collecting the goods from the big warehouse, he went to the private warehouse.
Secret letters exchanged with the Dali Kingdom, Zhang Zhizhou, and others. As well as those gold bars, silver ingots... as well as gems, jade...
A box of banknotes.
Shen Yunyue put them all into the space.
Only then did she leave the county government office feeling contented. The images of the wives of the small shop owners trembling with fear, treading on thin ice, came to her mind.
I couldn't help but sigh.
After returning to the teahouse and taking the pills, Shen Yunyue looked down from the window and said, "Xiaojiu, come up."
Xiaojiu responded.
After going up to the private room on the second floor, Shen Yunyue handed him a silver note worth five thousand taels.
"Go and exchange them for silver ingots and notes worth one hundred taels each."
Xiaojiu took the banknote and nodded.
"Look at the people attending the banquet in the backyard of the county government office. Look at the people wearing cotton clothes and slip them a hundred-liang silver note."
"A few silver ingots will do, but let's divide these five thousand taels of silver notes."
Xiaojiu was confused, but it was just doubt in his mind.
He quickly agreed:
"Young Madam, I will do it as soon as Bayanian returns."
"Well, go ahead."
As soon as Xiaojiu arrived downstairs, Bayanian ran over in a hurry.
"Xiaojiu, where is the young lady?"
Xiaojiu pointed to the second-floor window and said, "It's upstairs."
"The young lady sent me on an errand. Come back, I'm going to do it now."
Bayan nodded and quickly walked into the teahouse and went up to the second floor.
She didn't want to leave Shen Yunyue for a moment, but she didn't dare disobey Shen Yunyue's request.
…
Fu Xuanheng and his group sneaked into the border area of Nanli Kingdom.
The border between the two countries is covered with vast mountains and forests.
The forest is filled with miasma.
An Er and the others held the stemless root in their mouths to avoid the miasma attack. It was said that even the most powerful martial arts masters could not escape the miasma poison.
The only nemesis of miasma is the ancient magical medicine - the stemless root.
The toxins in Fu Xuanheng's body have not been completely eliminated, and these toxins have gathered in one place and are very obedient.
When poison enters the body, it will suppress the toxins and strangle them mercilessly.
Snowball followed Fu Xuanheng obediently.
"Master, in another five or six miles we will have passed through this forest."
Fu Xuanheng nodded, and there was the sound of birds above his head.
His ears twitched.
"Everyone go up the tree and rest." Fu Xuanheng picked up the snowball and jumped onto the towering tree.
An Er and the others all climbed up the tree.
Fu Xuanheng held the chocolate bar in his hand and chewed it gently, feeling the sweet taste in the bitterness of the chocolate.
He wants to drink milk tea.
In the woods below, the leaves of the thorns moved slowly.
Heads popped out one by one.
The men lay on the ground and sniffed, then sniffed along the tree trunk.
One of them glanced upwards.
Fu Xuanheng and others were all wearing black clothes.
Under the cover of dense tree canopy, it is impossible to see that there are Tibetans above.
He stared at the people below with his eagle eyes.
A pair of empty and lifeless eyes.
It’s just, very weird…
