Pei Shaorong had long concluded that Wang Da died unjustly, but he never expected that Wang Da's death would be so tragic.
Staring at Wang Da's rotten body in the coffin, Pei Shaorong could hardly describe his feelings. He just felt pain in his anus!
When Wang Da died, no external injuries were found, and his body was not poisoned. That was because he died of internal injuries. In the coffin, Wang Da's rotten body had already decayed, and one could vaguely see a rotten dead snake hidden in its rotten abdomen.
To put it simply, Su Yuexia's method of killing Wang Da was very simple. He just put a small, non-venomous snake into Wang Da's anus...
No wonder no one could find out the cause of Wang Da’s death. Such a method of killing could only be known by dissecting the body, and in ancient times it was almost impossible to dissect a body.
Touching the goose bumps on his body, Pei Shaorong quickly returned to the bushes and continued hiding with Mo Xiaobao, who was asking curious questions.
Sure enough, after a while, Feng, who had just left in fear, returned to the cemetery. He bravely and tremblingly restored the grave to its original state before returning.
The next morning, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao, who had been following Feng all night, saw Feng carrying her bag and boarding a boat to the next county.
Pei Shaorong nodded with satisfaction, and took Mo Xiaobao back to the inn to pack up and leave for the village.
This was a solution he thought of for Feng. Cen Ziwen was now the county magistrate of Yueyang City. Here, he was the local emperor. What he said was the imperial decree, and no one dared to go against him.
In the past, Cen Ziwen was able to protect Su Yuexia, but if Feng went directly to the government office to file a complaint now, not only would she not be able to seek redress, she would also be doomed and would definitely be murdered to silence her. There is no doubt about this outcome!
The only way to help the village chief and Qin Xiangrong is to overthrow Cen Ziwen and Su Yuexia. By then, Cen Ziwen will lose his official rank and be exposed for the crime of harboring a criminal. Even if he does not lose his head, he will lose his official hat. Then the victim Qin Xiangrong will naturally be saved.
It is very difficult for an ordinary civilian to go against the county magistrate. The class system in ancient times was more serious than that of modern times, and the lives of civilians were no different from straw. But if Cen Ziwen's opponents in the officialdom caught him, they would beat him up immediately!
Without the title of county magistrate, one can imagine what the rest of Cen Ziwen's life would be like...
Now that Feng has embarked on the journey of seeking justice for Cen Ziwen's opponents, it won't be long before Cen Ziwen falls into trouble.
An ungrateful man, a cruel and vicious woman, and thinking about the way Wang Da died, Pei Shaorong felt that he was a really good person for exposing the matter...
Pei Shaorong didn't plan to care about what happened afterwards. He bought all the things that the villagers needed to take with them, and then he, Zheng San, and several other people from the caravan drove a donkey cart and started to return to Yueyang Town.
Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao had a great time on this trip to Yueyang City. They both went to join in the fun, including the street performances, storytelling and opera, and the New Year's boat parade and lantern festival, and tried all the delicious and fun things in the city.
In addition to playing, he also made a lot of money. He sold out a whole jar of red wine and white wine. He also processed most of the fresh meat, smoked meat products, eggs, etc. in the space and exchanged them all for silver.
Compared to the red and white wine that was only sold in small quantities, Pei Shaorong didn't feel bad at all about exchanging the meat, eggs and other food in the space for silver. He was very happy to do so. After all, these things still existed in ancient times.
As for the remaining ones that have not been sold out, they can be dealt with slowly later. From now on, the Pei family will embark on the path of eating and drinking green and pollution-free food and living a long life!
After selling so many things, a lot of money flowed into his pocket. After a rough calculation, Pei Shaorong had the illusion that he had made a fortune.
The money he made from selling tents and thermoses to Zheng San and others on the road, plus the persimmon cakes and preserved fruits when he first arrived in Yueyang City, and the things he sold to the restaurant for the first time, he made a total of more than 400 taels.
After that, the red wine and white wine he sold again totaled 500 taels. I have to say again that cigarettes and alcohol are really luxury goods everywhere.
There are also smoked and fresh meats and other things in the space, which total nearly 500 taels of silver. In other words, the trip to Yueyang City earned more than 1,500 taels of silver!
With so much money in their pockets, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao felt dizzy on their way home. The feeling of making money was so good.
It took 5 days to get from Yueyang Town to Yueyang City, but on the way back, because they were familiar with the route and Zheng San and others were in a hurry, it only took 3 days.
It was already dusk when they arrived at Yueyang Town. Zheng San and others stayed in the town, while Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao returned to the village first.
The next day, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao delivered the sleeping bags and sneakers that had been agreed upon to the town and settled the payment. Zheng San and others hurried back to Yueyang City. The most important thing for traveling merchants is time, and they still have to rush to other places to continue their business.
According to the number of people in the caravan, Pei Shaorong sold twenty sleeping bags and forty pairs of hiking shoes. The sleeping bags were 5 taels each and the sneakers were 2 taels a pair, for a total of 180 taels.
Since the sneakers were originally prepared for himself, the sizes are fixed. However, Pei Shaorong's feet are bigger than those of ordinary people here, so they will definitely not be too small for the caravan members.
If it is too big, two pairs of insoles will be enough. Zheng San and others were very satisfied when they arrived. They originally wanted to buy more and resell them to other caravans, but Pei Shaorong was not prepared to sell more.
If I keep taking out good things endlessly, the secret of the space will be lost. Now I have earned a lot of money, enough to buy land, build a house and raise my son!
After sending Zheng San and others away, we have to return to the village and distribute the purchased goods to the villagers.
First, he went to the village chief's house to return the donkey cart, and tactfully expressed that Qin Xiangrong was "sick" and it was inconvenient for her to come back. After suggesting that the village chief go to Yueyang City to take a look, Pei Shaorong set up a table at his door and handed the things he brought to the villagers.
It is not convenient for me to ask too much about the affairs of the village chief's family. I guess by the time the village chief arrives in Yueyang City, Feng's case will be overturned. At that time, the village chief can just take the people back home.
This time, more villagers came to Pei's house to watch the excitement than last time. All the villagers who did not come to Pei's house to watch the purchasing excitement before setting off came over this time.
It can be said that except for the elderly who could not walk, almost everyone in the village was present. They stretched their necks to look at the pile of things behind Pei Shaorong that he had brought back from Yueyang City.
"Pei's, where are my snacks? Did you buy them?"
"And my floral fabric, I'm just waiting to make new clothes for my daughter..."
"Pei's family, and mine, don't forget, I gave them money..."
The villagers who had asked their partners to buy goods for them crowded in front of the table and shouted excitedly and anxiously. They had been looking forward to the return of the young couple from the Pei family.
The two of them have been gone for nearly a month, and the wait has been very painful for everyone. Recently, the gossip discussed in the village is nothing more than "my family asked the Pei family to take things from the big city."
When talking about the things that Dacheng would bring back soon, everyone felt a sense of superiority, as if they were superior to others.
Especially Old Man Mo, the ones going to the big city are his younger brother and his son-in-law. No matter what they are going to do, being able to go to a big city is something that others would envy.
Many people in the village envy him now. The second son's younger brother and his son-in-law went to the big city for a stroll, and the eldest son's son-in-law went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. If everyone doesn't envy him, who else should they envy?
Pei Shaorong asked everyone to line up and handed the items to everyone one by one according to the purchasing information he had recorded before. He would refund the excess money and pay more if there was less.
When buying things, Pei Shaorong specifically asked the shop owners to write him a note and put their fingerprints on it, just in case some unconscious villagers would cheat and refuse to pay the extra money.
There were no shopping receipts in ancient times. When the shop owner saw Pei Shaorong writing a shopping note and signing it, he almost wanted to kick him out of the store.
Fortunately, Pei Shaorong looked honest and simple, and he was polite and respectful. He explained the reason clearly. Since he bought a lot of things, the shop owner reluctantly wrote a note and signed it...
Pei Shaorong was right to keep this backup plan. Although most people in this countryside are simple and honest, there are also some troublesome and greedy villains and hooligans.
There were several people among the purchasing agents who wanted to take advantage of the situation. If they were not given the extra money, Pei Shaorong would take out the signed note that he had prepared in advance and bring the village chief over. Those who wanted to take advantage of the situation had to pay the extra money.
When Old Man Mo came to get the pipe he had been longing for, Pei Shaorong handed it to him with a smile.
A box of authentic Yueyang City gold-thread dry tobacco is definitely worth more than the one or two taels of silver given by Old Man Mo, but Old Man Mo was so happy that he kept saying yes, and the villagers around him were so envious of him.
Lin Ge'er and Xue Tieshi also came over with their two-year-old son to get some snacks. The shortbread from Yueyang City was the favorite of children.
Pei Shaorong also gave him an extra bag of candied fruit, but Lin Ge'er was embarrassed to take it, so Mo Xiaobao quickly stuffed the thing into Lin Ge'er's son's hands.
Obviously, in addition to his good relationship with Brother Lin, the reason why Mo Xiaobao was so generous was because he liked Brother Lin's son.
Looking at Brother Lin's well-behaved and cute son, Mo Xiaobao kept thinking in his heart that his and Brother Pei's son will definitely be as cute as this in the future!
In front of everyone, Lin Ge'er couldn't refuse too much and said that he didn't give any money for the candied fruit. He could only smile and lean over to Mo Xiaobao's ear and joke, "A Bao, do you think your son will look more like you or your husband in the future..."
"Of course my son looks like Brother Pei!" Mo Xiaobao shouted, and then he saw Pei Shaorong looking at him. The villagers around him also covered their mouths and laughed, their faces suddenly turned red...
The things were distributed to the villagers one by one, and Aunt Qin also got the wine she wanted. Pei Shaorong did not take the wine from the space when he brought her the wine. This was a local product here, and it cost one or two taels of silver per bottle. The silver given by Aunt Qin was just right.
Aunt Qin was grinning from ear to ear when she got the gift. With the gift, she could propose marriage for her son. She was in high spirits.
The villagers did not leave after getting the things. They gathered at the door of Pei's house and forced Mo Xiaobao to listen to many stories about Yueyang City before leaving.
The atmosphere was happy and harmonious from beginning to end. Many villagers who had not asked their agents to buy things for them regretted it.
The one with the worst complexion was Liu Meihua. She stood in the crowd and kept muttering to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang. However, she was soon squeezed away by the villagers who were happy about the things Pei Shaorong brought.
In the village, apart from Old Man Mo, the Wang family is the most stingy. Of course, everyone will help the Pei family who are easy to talk to and helpful!
