The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 308: The Stingy Boy’s Deal

The dark figure first stepped forward to check on the leaders, kicked them with his feet and saw no movement, and then checked on the drivers one by one.

After making sure that everyone was asleep, the figure began to search the mule carts outside the Earth Temple one by one.

The oilcloth on top was opened, and sure enough, there were carts full of medicinal materials.

The shadow stepped forward and took a sniff. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the medicinal materials, he waved his hand and the cart of medicinal materials disappeared in an instant.

If anyone saw this scene at this time, they would be so shocked that their souls would leave their bodies. This is really weird.

Except for the mules, all the mule carts that the shadow had touched were gone, including the frame and carriage.

The mule, which was lowering its head to eat hay, suddenly felt a sudden lightness on its body, and then it began to bark happily. However, the people inside were so sleepy that even the mule's cry did not make any sound.

It was getting brighter, and the dark-faced man stretched out his arms, feeling that he had never slept as soundly as he did last night in more than a month.

He raised his feet and kicked the two partners beside him: "Get up, hurry up, let's set off early while it's getting colder, and we can go to Yecheng for business tonight!"

Chubby wiped his saliva, then slowly got up and walked outside, cursing as he walked: "These bastards, they can sleep hard even if we sleep, and they don't know how to get up early and rush on their way."

"Ah!" Before Chubby finished cursing, he heard a scream from outside. His heart suddenly tightened, and he quickened his pace and ran out. When he went out, he was also shocked.

There was nothing outside the Tutu Temple. If the fodder for the mules from last night was not still on the ground, he would have thought that the outside was empty.

The black-faced man also came out. A group of people stood outside the Earth Temple and stared at each other. They were all shocked and speechless for a long time.

At the same time, Le Tou San, who was ten miles away, was negotiating a deal with someone: "Uncle, look at this mule. He is so strong and fat. Is there something wrong with that?"

The old man touching the mule drooped his eyelids: "Third son, it's not that I can't trust the mule, but I can't trust you!"

"You're a kid who's been stealing all day long. Who knows if this mule is stolen?"

Scarlet San looked around and whispered to the old man: "It's really stolen!"

As soon as the old man heard this, he was about to leave. He said that Ratty Three was such a weakling and couldn't do any good things.

But he was stopped by the scarlet man: "Uncle, just listen to what I have to say!"

"Does Landlord Wang over there in Huangni Town know that the old guy loves concubines? His eldest son couldn't think of it, so he got all the mules from the village and asked me to help sell them. It doesn't matter how much it costs, in the end Mainly just want to change some expenses!”

The old man asked suspiciously: "Isn't he afraid that his father will beat him?"

"What will we do when his father comes to find us? We can't give the mule back to him again!"

Scary Man Three chuckled: "After finishing this, I will go to Chang'an. Each of you will take the mule back to the countryside. Who knows where the mule has gone?"

"Besides, this mule has no markings. After raising it for ten and a half days, no one can tell who is who!"

When the old man heard this, he was immediately moved. The main reason was that this mule was not only good but also cheap. Usually this kind of mule costs 20 taels, but this one only costs fifteen taels. The key point is that this mule is a good product at first glance. He gritted his teeth and bought one for his two sons and their family.

Several people from neighboring villages who knew the old man also came over. In less than half an hour, all the mules were bought.

The leprosy man happily put away his silver bag, played a ditty, entered an alley, and knocked on the door of a widow's house.

After a while, the two sneaked out of the alley and headed straight towards Yecheng.

After walking less than ten miles, Scarlet San was about to rent a carriage when he saw a young man standing far away at the intersection ahead.The young man held a dog's tail grass in his mouth and carried a shining big knife on his shoulder. The knife gave off a dazzling cold light in the sun.

The three scoundrels felt that their scalp was numb, so they stepped forward and handed over the silver bag respectfully: "Sir, there are a total of one hundred and five taels of silver, and they are all here!"

The young man's cool eyes glanced at the skinny man's neck, and then he took out five taels of silver from the silver bag and threw it over.

Scarlet San took the silver and watched helplessly as the young man jumped onto his horse and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The little widow behind her said timidly: "Third brother, are we still going to Yecheng?"

"Go to hell!" Scarlet San spitted on the ground and looked at the direction the young man was leaving. He was so damn stingy. He left five taels for him even though he had more than 100 yuan. Let alone go to Yecheng with this little money. , even if I can go back to Huangni Town, I won’t be able to hold on for long.

In Zuixian Tower in Yecheng, the waiter entered a private room with wine and food.

"Is this your first time coming to Yecheng? Our store's boiled fish is one of a kind. You must try it!"

The handsome young man sat by the window, looking at the bustling crowd downstairs, as if he didn't hear the waiter's words.

The waiter asked, "Doesn't this guest like people chattering?"
After placing the food and wine on the table and pouring another glass of wine for the boy, the waiter bowed and said, "Guest, please take your time. I won't disturb you!"

"Wait a minute!" The waiter who was about to go out was stopped by the young man: "Tell me what's new in the city recently!"

As the young man said this, he threw a piece of silver towards the waiter. The waiter suddenly became happy and said, "Ah, guest, if you ask me, you have found the right person!"

"A lot of big things have happened in our city recently. I just don't know which one you would like to hear?"

The young man looked at the waiter with a longing look on his face: "I have always admired General Chen of the White Lotus Sect. I want to hear about his family. Can the waiter tell me about it?"

The waiter's expression suddenly froze: "This"

"What, is it inconvenient?" the young man said and threw another piece of silver over, this time there were five taels of silver.

"I just want to hear the excitement. My second brother knows it, and most of the people in the city know it. Besides, I'm just the two here to say a few words. Will there be a third person who knows it?"

The waiter swallowed, hesitated for a long time, finally stretched out his hand to the silver, and then quickly put it into his pocket.

"Hey, the guest doesn't know, but what I know is really different from others. The guest did not spend his money unjustly!"

The waiter poured himself a cup of tea, and then started chatting: "A few days ago, General Chen held a wedding event in the mansion. It was widely spread. The guests must have heard about it, right?"

The young man nodded: "I've heard a little bit about it!"

The waiter gave up and continued: "The guest probably doesn't know that the lady General Chen married is Princess Lingyue of the Dafeng Dynasty!"

The waiter told Chen Yuzhang in detail what happened on the day he got married.

"You said, Miss Yang wants to be a concubine instead of being a good princess. Why bother?"

The young man was noncommittal and motioned for him to continue speaking.

The waiter vividly told the story of the danger on the day Wang Qiong gave birth, and then said mysteriously: "Guest, you don't know that something big happened to the Chen family on the day the leader entered the city!"

The young man was shocked, but his face didn't show it: "What happened?"
