Peerless Concubine: Ghost King, this palace wants to rob

Chapter 228 [Buying Cabbage]

"Is that a person?" Chen Lingling pointed to the black spot on the far right.

Gan Dong squinted his eyes and looked at the past, and nodded after looking at it for a long time, "It should be, there are still people in this place? Is it suspicious?"

"Are you short-sighted?" Chen Lingling saw him squinting.

"Shortsighted?"

"It's just blurry when looking too far away."

Gandong nodded, "It's a little bit."

"Do more eye exercises if you have nothing to do, and don't read by candlelight." Chen Lingling stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the people walking towards them.

Gan Dong's eyes were full of doubts, "Eye exercises?"

Chen Lingling glanced at the scenery below the mountain helplessly, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

After a while, the figure became clear. It was an old man, pulling a cart and walking forward slowly. The cart was filled with something bulging.

"Gan Dong, go and ask what's in that car, be nice and don't scare him," Chen Lingling ordered.

Gan Dong also had this intention, "Yes."

After saying that, he flew down from the top of the mountain and directly blocked the old man's way. The old man seemed to be taken aback, and he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up first, what's in the car?" Gan Dong grabbed the old man.

The old man was so frightened that his legs were a little weak, "The cabbage in the car was planted by grass-roots people. I thought I would keep it as food for the winter, but there is going to be a war again. The royal family can't survive the tax collection. The cabbage alone can't survive." I can't survive the winter, so I can only think about selling some money to buy some cotton clothes for the children in the family to prepare for the winter."

Gan Dong looked at the old man suspiciously, then walked to the side of the car and lifted the straw mat, and it really contained cabbage.

At this time, Chen Lingling also flew down from the top of the mountain, and the old man wearing a big helmet couldn't see her appearance clearly, and begged with trembling old hands: "Governments, the grassroots don't want to go from here, but there are people all over the place." In the village, no one is willing to buy it, the grass people can only go this way, they don't want to disturb the barracks, I hope the two officials will spare the grass people."

Chen Lingling glanced at the cabbage, lowered her voice and turned her voice into a man's voice, "You said you want to sell this cabbage?"

"If you go back to the official, you will sell it." The old man didn't dare to look at her.

She nodded bluntly, "Check and check."

Gan Dong led the order to jump into the car, turned over the cabbage one by one, and took a while to check. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he nodded towards Chen Lingling.

Chen Lingling looked at the old man with her head lowered and her hat covering most of her face, "Sell it to me, how much money?"

The old man was surprised, "The official wants to buy it? No, no, no, I dare not accept money. If the official wants to take it, just take it."

Her piercing eyes stared closely at the old man's for a long while, and she didn't look away until the old man was almost unable to stand up.

It's not like lying.

Chen Lingling took out an ingot of gold and some broken silver from her body, put them in a purse, and threw them to the old man.

The old man naturally saw her act of putting money, "It's not worth it, these cabbages have been frozen, so it's not worth the money, the official will just give some broken silver, this gold is not worth it."

Gan Dong had put on the rope at this time, pulled the cart back, and Chen Lingling looked at the old man, "We took the cart away, you take this gold and go back to buy a horse or a donkey or something. Hey, if you fall again, go back and buy some clothes for your grandchildren, don't go any further, go back."

After finishing speaking, Chen Lingling stopped caring about the old man and followed Qiandong.

Hearing this, the old man almost burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the two, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir, for your mercy!"
