Chapter 56: Emptying Madam Ye's Yard
The curfew in the capital is after midnight.
It is now past the hour of Hai and many shops are preparing to close.
Ye Chutang went to Xinglintang, the largest pharmacy in the capital.
The pharmacist was putting up the door panels, preparing to close the shop.
Seeing Ye Chutang in gorgeous clothes, he immediately put the door panel against the wall and walked forward with a smile.
"I wonder if you are here to see a doctor or buy medicine?"
Ye Chutang said in a rough male voice: "I want to buy medicinal herbs, a lot of them."
After saying that, he took out a gold ingot.
The medicine boy's eyes widened, "Sir, please come in."
After bringing Ye Chutang into the medicine shop, he shouted to the inner hall: "Shopkeeper, a distinguished guest wants to buy medicinal materials."
The shopkeeper is counting today's revenue in the inner hall.
Hearing the word "distinguished guest", he walked out quickly.
When he saw the ten taels of gold in Ye Chutang's hand, his face was filled with smiles.
"Sir, what medicinal herbs do you want to buy?"
"My son is planning to start a medicinal herbs business. He will buy herbs in the capital and sell them at high prices in the bitter and cold border areas. I want all the herbs you have."
She dared to buy medicinal herbs openly because medicinal herbs were different from food and were not daily necessities.
No matter how much you buy, it will not cause the price of medicine to skyrocket.
The shopkeeper felt that Ye Chutang's idea was unrealistic.
It is a cold and bitter place, and although medicinal materials are in short supply, few people can afford them.
But it has nothing to do with him.
"Sir, if you want to buy all the medicinal materials in Xinglintang, one ingot of gold is not enough."
Xinglintang is the largest pharmacy in the capital, and its medicine warehouse has a large stock of medicines.
"Boss, go and calculate it. Our young master is not short of money."
The shopkeeper looked at Ye Chutang inquiringly and concluded: a rich and stupid young man!
"Sir, curfew is about to begin. It will take some time to settle the bill. How about you leave a deposit and come back tomorrow morning?"
"My young master is in a hurry, so it's tonight."
The shopkeeper frowned, "There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the warehouse. We can't transport them all before curfew."
My master has already made arrangements, go and settle the bill. ”
"Okay, wait a moment, sir."
Ye Chutang reminded him, "Shopkeeper, I have learned about the prices of medicinal herbs and I know them well. Don't sell inferior goods at high prices or falsely report prices."
The shopkeeper quickly promised, "Don't worry, sir. Xinglintang is a century-old brand that is based on honesty."
After saying that, he looked at the medicine boy and said, "Entertain the young master."
Just as the herbalist was about to respond, Ye Chutang said, "After the shopkeeper has calculated the price, put all the herbs to be sold into the warehouse for inventory and transportation. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back later."
Before leaving, she left a gold ingot as a deposit.
The shopkeeper picked up the heavy gold ingots and his brows were filled with joy.
He said to the medicine boy, "Go and call someone to keep the daily medicines, record the quantities of the rest, and move them to the warehouse."
"Okay, shopkeeper."
The medicine boy immediately went to gather other medicine boys and handymen, and counted out the medicinal materials that could be sold and had them moved to the warehouse.
The shopkeeper, in turn, totals the value of all the inventory.
When Ye Chutang finished visiting all the pharmacies in the capital, it was already past midnight.
When she returned to Xinglintang, the shop was closed and the medicine boy had left a door panel.
Seeing Ye Chutang coming back in a swagger, I believe that she has already opened up channels with the government and can transport medicinal materials after the curfew.
"Sir, please come in, the shopkeeper is waiting for you in the inner hall."
"Go to the warehouse. I'll check the goods while I look at the sales order."
The shopkeeper also thought that this would save time, "Okay, sir, please come this way."
A quarter of an hour later, the bill and medicines were in place.
Ye Chutang readily paid the balance.
"Boss, evacuate all the people in the warehouse. Those who will come to transport the herbs later should not show up."
"Don't worry, sir. I know the rules."
"Okay, let's withdraw."
The shopkeeper immediately evacuated everyone from the warehouse.
Ye Chutang put all the herbs into the space and placed them separately to make it convenient to add more herbs later.
As she left, she left the warehouse door open.
Then, she used the same excuse to take away all the medicinal materials from the pharmacy.
When Ye Chutang returned to the Shangshu Mansion through underground, it was already past midnight.
She came out from under the osmanthus tree in the southwest corner of Madam Ye's yard.
The yard was very large, with lanterns lit in the corridor, and a maid who was on night watch dozing off at the door of the main house.
Ye Chutang knocked the maid unconscious with a palm strike and tiptoed into Old Madam Ye's room.
The room was lit with calming sandalwood, which smelled nice.
Old Madam Ye was sleeping very soundly, and a slight snoring sound could be heard from her bed.
Ye Chutang was a little sleepy and didn't want to spend time looking around, so he just grabbed Madam Ye.
The old lady was woken up for no apparent reason and looked annoyed.
"Dry……"
As soon as she opened her mouth, her mouth was covered and a rough male voice fell into her ears.
"If you don't want people to know that you're having a night out with a man outside your family, and they say you're an old cow eating young grass, then shut up."
Old Madam Ye was so frightened by the man's voice that her eyes rolled up and she fainted.
Ye Chutang: “…”
With the help of the light from the lantern outside, she picked up the cold tea on the table and splashed it on the old lady's face.
The old lady sat up in shock, looked at the blurry black shadow in front of her, and opened her mouth to shout.
Ye Chutang covered her mouth with one hand and tore her snow-white undershirt with the other, revealing her sky-blue bellyband.
Old Madam Ye was so frightened that she was going crazy and struggled desperately.
She has been a widow for more than twenty years, and she can't let her reputation be ruined by a lecher!
"If you want to die, keep struggling."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Ye, who had just insisted on her innocence, immediately stopped struggling.
Compared with innocence and death, the latter is naturally more important.
Ye Chutang looked at the old lady mockingly and let her go.
"If you don't want to be hung naked at the city gate, just hand over all your valuables!"
Madam Ye immediately pulled up the quilt to cover herself, "You only want money?"
"I would like to have both money and beauty, but you are so flabby and old that it's hard to swallow you."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he pulled Madam Ye off the bed.
"Go find all the valuables and don't play tricks, or I'll kill you!"
She took out a sharp Swiss knife from the space and easily cut off a corner of the bedside table.
Old Madam Ye turned pale with fright and nodded repeatedly.
"I'll find it. I'll find it right away."
Ye Chutang simply took a thin silk quilt as a bundle and spread it out on the ground.
"Put everything of value here."
"well."
The strong desire to survive made Mrs. Ye dare not have any evil thoughts.
All valuable items in the room were placed on the quilt.
There were jewelry, jade articles, ornaments, etc., piled up like a small mountain.
"Warrior, there are no more... no more."
Ye Chutang knew that Old Madam Ye was not playing any tricks, but she definitely had more valuable things than just these.
She placed the knife, which was shining coldly, on the old lady's neck.
"Where is the warehouse?"
PS:
Some readers think that the heroine should not save Ye Anjun, so I would like to explain
First: Ye Anjun has never done anything bad, he has a lot of merits, he is a good person, and he will be of great use in the future
Second: The heroine will not hate everyone in the house. She will not let the bad guys go, and she will not kill the good guys indiscriminately.
Third: Although this book is about abusing a scumbag, the heroine has great righteousness and love.
