Chapter 17
In the early morning of the next day, the horse-drawn carriages for the market were packed at the entrance of the capital, and the traffic was piled up together. Many children from rich families who were driving out of the city in horse-drawn carriages sat in the carriages and yelled and cursed.

But the reason why the entrance of the capital city was blocked early in the morning was because of Uncle Wang who was pulling a cart sideways and squatting at the gate of the city, picking up potatoes in a hurry.

Standing next to Uncle Wang was Gu Qinghong, who was dressed as a rich man. He had a big belly, black hair, fat and greasy double chins and a pair of bulging eyes, making him look a bit cunning.

"Old Wang, you are as stupid as a donkey! Are you the one who pulls goods like this? Do you believe that I, Gu Qinghong, can let you go home and eat yourself with just a word? You don't have a face!"

Gu Qinghong stretched out his thick index finger to poke Uncle Wang's shoulder, and Uncle Wang was half-forced to kneel on the ground under his back, his old face turned pale from the fright of Gu Qinghong's words:
"Master Gu, calm down, don't get angry with me, an old farmer, don't get angry."

Uncle Wang gritted his teeth, and quickly apologized in a low voice, surrounded by shouts and curses: "Damn it, people are not allowed to leave the city this early in the morning! Are you doing business at the gate of the city?"

"That's right, if you don't hurry to get out of the way after picking up the things, what are you thinking!"

Gu Qinghong was disturbed by the yelling and scolding around him, and kicked Uncle Wang on the back a few times: "Idiot, why don't you pull the car away quickly! Do I have to teach you this?"

"Hey. Okay." Uncle Wang bowed his head in response, and quickly moved the cart blocking the way. The complaints around him gradually subsided, and Gu Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw those blocked carriages disappearing at the gate of the capital:

"You go and deliver this item to the vegetable shop of Baili's family, and I will deliver the list to the owner of Baili's family. I will warn you, if you make any mistakes, be careful that I will kill you!"

When Uncle Wang heard this, he clenched his hands into fists, nodded and bowed with a smile on his face.Then he staggered forward.Gu Qinghong wiped the sweat from his brow, raised his head and scanned the surrounding teahouses, then walked to the one in the middle.

On the attic, in a single room with curtains, Patriarch Baili, dressed in a white shirt and purple robe, sat on a chair. All the farce at the gate of the city was reflected in his charming purple phoenix eyes. Thin lips took a sip of tea, and played with the white jade teacup with slender fingertips, with a playful tone:

"Shaoqing, did you see it?"

His voice was deep and magnetic, and his brisk tone seemed to be teasing the farce at the gate of the capital just now.

Behind Patriarch Baili stood a serious man in a black and white gown: "Patriarch, I saw it in a short while, that Gu Qinghong is really bullying others, and he even dared to send the goods that were accidentally knocked over to our Baili. From home."

"What to do, understand?"

Patriarch Baili glanced back at Shaoqing, Shaoqing lowered his head, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "This subordinate immediately went to clear the order with the Gu family."

"Go."

As soon as Patriarch Baili's words fell, Shaoqing stepped on the tiles of the roof lightly and quickly disappeared into the attic as if the wind was blowing under his feet.

After a while, Gu Qinghong walked with heavy steps, and carefully pushed open the sandalwood door of the single room. In the room, Patriarch Baili looked at Gu Qinghong's face with a low eyebrow and a slight smile, and his thin lips curled into a nice curve.

Seeing that he was silent with his purple eyes slightly raised, Gu Qinghong chuckled, his cunning eyes wandering: "I've come to send you the list. It's 39 taels in total, so count your 39 taels."

Gu Qinghong took out a paper sheet drenched in sweat from his bosom. His body was covered in the smell of sweat, and his thick hands were stained with sticky sweat.Following his actions, a body odor flowed in his nose, making people faintly sick.

Patriarch Baili covered his mouth and nose lightly, his smile gradually receded from his handsome face, and then he narrowed his purple eyes dangerously, his gaze was cold:

"How dare you take out such a dirty thing. Gu Qinghong, you are quite brave..."
