Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 34 Cold Sweat

At dusk, when the summer heat dropped, there were many people who came out to visit Washi. The gate of the teahouse was crowded with people. Shen Chuxia squeezed into the crowd. The little rabbit was held by two people on his shoulders. Wearing a sack with his head downcast.

When the little rabbit saw her, his eyes lit up first, then he lowered his head, ashamed to see Brother Xia.

Yuan Shao'an and Shen Dezhi quickly joined her, "Xia'er..." They were also ashamed.

"Little bastard, is this the rescuer you brought in?" A middle-aged man with a bearded face yelled disdainfully.

Not far away, on the second floor of the Daxiang Club, Wan Lishan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Chuxia coming, "I finally caught her out."

"Master, do you think she can sell this batch of medicinal materials?"

"That depends on how much the surname Ji spoils her."

The young man was still worried: "Grandpa, this batch of medicinal materials has been hanging around in the market for a few days. If someone with a heart finds out that they are famous, we won't be able to get one or two."

Wan Lishan lowered the curtains, "What are you afraid of? It's just a batch of powdered medicine."

In Washi, the bearded man raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes: "Give me 5000 taels in three days. If you don't, you will be jailed before seeing the officials."

The little rabbit was anxious: "No, no, you clearly said that the medicinal material is 1000 taels."

"So what, if you delay me for five days, I will charge you 5000 taels." The bearded man glared, "If you dare to say anything more, I will send you to jail right away."

The little rabbit was so scared that he broke into cold sweat, "Xia Geer, Xia Geer, he lied to me...he lied to me..."

Shen Chuxia really doesn't know much about ancient Chinese herbal medicines except ginseng, Linzhi, angelica, etc., which are great tonics. She never touches things that she doesn't understand.

"Then you should report to the officials." Shen Chuxia stood in the crowd, calmly and gracefully.

"Brother Xia..." The little rabbit cried out in fright.

"Xia'er..." Yuan Shao'an excitedly grabbed the eldest cousin and asked her to save the little buddy.

Shen Dezhi bit his lip, his face pale.

The bearded man didn't expect that the white-faced boy would dare to bear it, and was about to hit someone with his fist.

The fat guy rushed to the little master, but he didn't have a chance to make a move.

The bearded man was held back by his family, "Brother Wu, calm down, Brother Wu, we are businessmen, not here to fight."

"That's right, 1000 taels is clearly 5000 taels, and we can't even get together after selling them." Yuan Shao'an retorted angrily.

It seemed to be the master who was pulling the fight, and he walked up to Shen Chuxia with a smile, "Harmony makes money, but brother, our batch of medicinal materials is indeed worth 2000 taels."

"Then why do you say 1000 taels?" Shen Dezhi was also angry at being cheated.

"This...isn't it because there is no way out in the capital for the first time? After two months, all the money on my body has been spent, but the medicinal materials have not been sold at all, so I have to lower the price to sell some travel expenses to go home." The master nodded and bowed, The attitude is very soft and gentle.

Keeping her composure all the time, Shen Chuxia knew that this order must be a scam, but she was still pondering whether she wanted to trap money or whom.

Misappropriating money, this is hardly a consideration, the ultimate purpose of general scams is to make money, but Little Rabbit is a little refugee who is free from violence and rents a place, how can these people blackmail him?
The purpose of their approaching the little rabbit was actually to lure her out to help sell medicinal materials?How did they know she would sell something?Is it Boss Yu or Baijiu Huang's family?

It doesn't seem to be the case. If you go through Boss Yu and Huang's family, no matter which one they will come to the door in person, there is no need to lie to Little Rabbit directly.

There are leaders, masters, and two or three thugs. A group of five people came out to sell medicinal materials, and finally blackmailed the little rabbit. What do these people want to do?
"Three days is definitely not enough, seven days, if you can, I will take it, if you don't agree, you can report to the official immediately."

On the horizon at dusk, the sun shines brightly. Shen Chuxia stands in front of people with a slender literary spirit. He stands indifferently, and a wave of scholarly spirit rushes towards his face, making people's hearts calm down unconsciously.

The bearded man's eyes flickered.

The master was taken aback for a moment, and immediately responded with a smile, "As long as the little brother does not miss the appointment, it's okay...it's okay..."

After thinking about it again and again, why did Shen Chuxia take this batch of medicinal materials worth 2000 taels? related?It was obviously just medicinal materials, but she still thought about it.

Nearly ten sacks of medicinal materials were taken to the house by Shen Chuxia's hired car.

The ancients called doctors "Confucian doctors", and Confucians are also scholars.Therefore, the literati of the past dynasties have a close relationship with Chinese medicine. Many people not only understand the way of health preservation, but also know many Chinese medicinal materials.

It was getting dark, and Shen Chuxia originally didn't want to bother Mr. Shen, but she couldn't sleep without knowing the medicinal materials, so she piled the medicinal materials in the main room, "Help me find out what these medicinal materials are?"

"It's all mixed together." Mr. Shen frowned.

Shen Chuxia asked several teenagers to quickly pile them up by category and repack them into bags.

There are all kinds of things, there are actually more than 20 kinds.

Mr. Shen looked carefully and said: "Most of them are medicinal materials for stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis, treating knife wounds and bone wounds."

For some reason, the Rebellion of the Three Kings flashed through Shen Chuxia's mind. Could it be that these medicinal materials were withheld from the battlefield?No, the war is over.

Someone stole it and sold it?

So the question is, which party steals it and sells it?Regent Ji Chong?His subordinates dare to steal it and sell it?Shen Chuxia shook her head.

Those were exiled from the three defeated kings. Shen Chuxia guessed that they were most likely exiled from the tribe of the Mausoleum King who died in battle. Only his subordinates died, those who surrendered surrendered, and those who fled fled.

If these medicinal materials are really related to the war, Shen Chuxia really picked up a hot potato.

Wait, something suddenly flashed through my mind.

Shen Chuxia suddenly broke out in cold sweat, "Shao'an, hurry up and rent a carriage outside, Dezhi, hurry up and pack all these medicinal materials, and load them as soon as the carriage arrives."

No one in the room knew why Shen Chuxia was suddenly nervous.

"Mujin, do you still remember that noble man's other courtyard?"

"Remember, little lady, what are you doing?"

"When the carriage is loaded, take them there quickly."

"then you……"

"Brother Fat, follow up—" Shen Chuxia had already run out.

In ancient times, there were no street lamps, and only the lanterns at the door of the shop were used for lighting. Shen Chuxia was looking for a carriage while running.

"Little lady, do you want to take a ride?"

The more proactive Shen Chuxia was, the more she dared not take it. She ran all the way, out of breath, but Nancheng was really far away from the imperial city. With her speed, she might run until twelve o'clock at night. How could she do it? How about finding someone the fastest?
After running for a few miles, she couldn't run any longer. The fat brother wanted to carry her, but she waved her hand. She was not a seven-year-old Xiaoqiu, and she was not suitable for a grown man to carry, even if he had mental problems.

While taking a breath, he turned his head to check the environment.Why does she feel like being followed? Could it be her illusion?
