The shop owner weighed the contents of the bag, felt around through the cloth, and then looked a little more satisfied.

Jiang Qingqing half-closed her eyes and looked at the bag.

"Chili seeds, good stuff!"

chili!?

Jiang Qingqing was very shocked.

After the uncle explained to her last time, the pepper seeds were precious to the people of Tianqi. Ordinary people really couldn't get such precious seeds. Who was this man? He actually sold a big bag of them? !

Her eyes became increasingly gloomy.

"Is this enough for you to make a trip to Li State?"

"That's enough. Well, if you had told me earlier, would we have had to argue for so long?!" The shopkeeper did not forget to blame the man for his procrastination.

The man sneered.

"Go back and tell your boss. As usual, there will be news after a month." The shop owner carefully put away the bag of pepper seeds and responded to the man perfunctorily.

"Our master doesn't care about this. It's just another little brat who is not favored."

Seeing that the man was about to turn around, Jiang Qingqing quickly turned her head and faced the man with her back completely.

But at this moment, she felt a huge shock in her heart that could not be calmed down for a long time.

The conversation between these two people was too familiar. It would be impossible for them to have such a tacit understanding without trading three or four times. In addition, the man said something like... an unloved little brat.

She carefully reviewed all the situations in the palace. There were only four heirs of the Tianqi royal family, three royal brothers and her, the princess.

Therefore, it is impossible for the princes in the palace to be good at using the process of elimination to achieve this level.

Anyone who can be related to Li Guo...

Does this need further scrutiny?

Han Qiming!!

Jiang Qingqing clenched her hands in her sleeves, and her little fists as big as sandbags were about to hit Han Qiming, the treacherous villain, at that moment.

Han Qiming dared to steal the seeds of apocalypse, and secretly transported away many books without their knowledge. She didn't dare to think about the contents of those books. If she thought about it carefully, it would probably make people more and more panic and shocking.

Seeing that the job was done, the man over there whistled a discordant sound and casually looked around at the items on the store shelves.

During this time, Jiang Qingqing pretended to check other things and whispered to Xiaoke in a serious manner. In fact, Jiang Qingqing herself was not aware of what she was muttering.

The only thing in her mind now was anger towards Han Qiming.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of horse hooves kicking at the door of the shop, but no one in the house found it strange.

The man had almost finished pretending, so he took a box of tea, turned around and walked out humming a tune.

After sending the man away, the shop owner turned his attention to Jiang Qingqing. He walked to Jiang Qingqing's side, and his expression was not like those businessmen who tried to please him.

He just asked calmly, "Do you want to buy anything? If not, we will close the shop."

"Ah? It's not even noon yet, the day isn't even halfway through, and you're closing the shop?"

Xiaoke looked at the shopkeeper in astonishment, with an expression of surprise.

The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Ke and didn't recognize that she was from a nearby shop. He waved his hand with a little impatience.

"We are going on a long journey and will not open the shop anymore."

Xiao Ke wanted to ask something else, but Jiang Qingqing looked around the shop, pointed at a tea leaf and asked, "How much of this tea do you have in stock?"

"If there's nothing else, just put these on the shelf." The shopkeeper's tone did not soften, and he continued to speak irritably.

Jiang Qingqing was not affected much by the shopkeeper's irritability. She was neither surprised nor puzzled. Instead, she looked up and said generously, "Then take over all the tea on the shelf."

The shopkeeper exclaimed, quickly took down all the tea leaves from the shelf, and tied them up with a rope.

Xiaoke looked at the disgusting packaging and took the tea with great disdain.

At this moment, the shopkeeper touched his goat beard and said, "A total of one tael."

"One tael!? Your tea looks like it's less than ten grams. Are you using this tael to kill us?" Xiao Ke couldn't bear it any longer. She exclaimed and then said indignantly.

The shopkeeper seemed to be accustomed to people finding such prices incredible.

He twirled his goatee and snorted with a laugh. His inverted triangle eyes were full of disdain. "If you can't afford it, don't come in. Our shop is famous for its specialty products from neighboring countries. There's no need to pay for carrying them here. So many horses have died of exhaustion and you don't want to get paid? I'm only giving you a tael because your daughter looks so young. I'm saying that lightly!"

Xiaoke looked at the profiteer in shock. She was about to open her mouth to refute, but was stopped by Jiang Qingqing.

"Did you carry these goods from Li State?" Jiang Qingqing glanced at the tea leaves in Xiaoke's hand, her clear voice flat and indifferent.

Compared with Xiaoke's temper, Jiang Qingqing seems quite easy-going.

When the shopkeeper heard the girl speak, his expression improved a little.

"Of course, we transported all of this here ourselves!"

Jiang Qingqing nodded in understanding. She pointed at the tea leaves and the several rolls of cloth on the rack, then turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Then I wonder if all these goods have been registered with the Chamber of Commerce?"

"What about the food? Has it passed the review of the Food Association? Are the ingredients in it up to standard?"

"And this shop, I see it's built on a mud house foundation, not even the wall putty has been applied. Has the government in Beijing approved this shop?"

The little girl has slender hands. Every time she points at a product, she can clearly and accurately report the review process of the department to which the product belongs.

It can be seen that she has a good understanding and knowledge of the merchants.

When he met such a clever little girl, the frivolous look in the shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help but panic. He looked at the little girl's clothes and hairpins, which were not simple at all. He actually began to stammer in front of a five-year-old child.

"You look so young, and I don't know whose child is running out to buy things. Go away, go away, don't delay my business!"

After being driven away with incoherent words, Jiang Qingqing, who had been indifferent till then, finally showed a little smile.

"Oh? The shopkeeper just told my maid that you were going on a long journey. How could I have delayed your business now?"

"I'm going on a long journey, and you, you're standing here and not leaving. How can I close the shop?" The shopkeeper was panicked for a moment and said something nonsense.

Jiang Qingqing saw that the other party was beginning to panic. She was about to take advantage of the situation to ask who the man was when there was a sudden commotion at the door of the shop. She turned her head hastily and saw people in government uniforms walking up to her.

She subconsciously hid aside the shelf.
