Chapter 158
"As long as it's not ginseng and ganoderma, the small ones can be the masters."

"Unfortunately, that's all."

"Then what, please wait a moment."

The guy immediately ran to the back and called for someone, and the shopkeeper smiled at her.

"Little brother, can I see your goods?"

Qiao Mai also smiled at him, and put the things behind the basket on the counter one by one.

"It's all freshly picked, the price is right, and I still have big things."

The shopkeeper in Beijing is not comparable to others, but he has seen the world, so he opened every bag and looked at it.

"Well, the medicinal materials are good, all of which are of the highest quality. Dendrobium is ten taels of silver a catty. This ginseng is 30 years old and of good quality. It is 30 taels of silver, and the age of Ganoderma lucidum is about the same. It is 20 taels of silver. Two taels of silver per catty, do you think?"

"Okay, let's check the scales,"

"The buddy is on the side, one by one, the shopkeeper put the banknotes and silver in a money bag and handed it to her."

"Since you think the price in this store is fair, how about the big one?"

Qiao Mai took out a cloth bag from his arms, "Look at this."

These are the ones on her shelf, two were sold, and there are four left, and this is one of the four.

The shopkeeper opened the cloth bag and looked, with a smile on his face, he nodded.

"The 600-year-old ginseng is not bad, not bad. Although it is not rare enough, the medicinal effect is not bad."

"Make an offer"

"3000 taels, no more."

Qiao Mai raised his eyebrows. At the beginning, those two were sold for 2 taels, and the one in Beijing gave him an extra 3000 taels.

"Can"

Seeing that she had no objection, the shopkeeper took out the banknote and was about to trade with her when officers and soldiers entered the shop.

The leader knew the shopkeeper, and hurriedly cupped his hands at him, "I'm sorry, I was ordered to search for the lost property of Fu Taifu's house, please cooperate with the shopkeeper."

"Please!"

The leader looked at the shopkeeper and Qiao Mai, and then at the things in their hands.

"I don't know what you are doing?"

The shopkeeper pointed out the pile of medicinal materials on the counter to the officers and soldiers. These were fresh medicinal materials that had just been dug out not long ago, but they had nothing to do with the Fu family.

"Then who is he?"

Qiao Mai calmly said, "I live in Bichunyuan, and I'm a friend of the old lady of the Wang family. This time, I came to attend the wedding of the little prince in Prince Shun's mansion."

"Then why do you sell medicine?"

"When I went out, I picked it from the big mountain at home, so I was afraid it would go bad."

The officers and soldiers took a look at the herbs, they were indeed fresh, so they turned around and led the officers and soldiers behind them to the back.

The shopkeeper hurriedly handed her the bank note, "Go back quickly, don't wander around outside these two days, Fu's family lost ten taels and wrote 20 taels, if you see someone's things look like yours, maybe your house will be searched too." Well, go back and take a look."

"Thanks for the shopkeeper's reminder!"

Qiao Mai took the silver ticket, walked back out of the hospital, unexpectedly saw officers and soldiers entering the mansion as soon as he got home.

She took it easy and went back to her yard. Yuehong and Yuexia stood in the yard protecting the children, while several officers and soldiers searched the house next to each other.

Qiao Mai walked over with a cold face, protecting Yue Hong and the others behind her.

After a while, officers and soldiers came out, took a look at them, and left the Haitang courtyard.

As soon as they left, she said to Yuehong and Yuexia, "Check the items we brought, see if there is anything missing, write it down on paper."

"Yes, Master!"

Although the children were a little nervous, the officers and soldiers didn't do anything to them, they were just a little scared, they looked at Qiao Mai and asked.

"Mother, what happened?"

"A large family in the capital was burglarized, and the officers and soldiers went from house to house looking for dirt. This is already the second day."

"We're not thieves, don't be afraid, right?"

"Well, you don't have to be afraid."

Only then did the children feel relieved, and not long after, Yuehong Yuexia came out of the house.

"Master, the children's purses are missing, Miss's hair accessories are missing two pieces, and one of your hairpins is the latest shiny one."

Qiao Mai hummed, "Take care of the child."

She immediately turned around and quickly came to the gate of Bichun Garden. She closed the side door and the gate, but the officers and soldiers hadn't left yet.

She stood in front of the door, "Whoever took my and my child's hair accessories and stood up, otherwise, I will go to the Yamen to sue you."

The leader of the search turned around and looked at her when he heard this.

"What are you missing?"

"Three pieces of hair accessories, very bright, not from our country, but brought by my friend from overseas, and four purses, which contain my child's pocket money."

The soldier immediately blew his whistle, and after a while the officers and soldiers gathered together.

"Who searched this lady's yard just now, took the hair ornament from it, and handed it over voluntarily, or I will deal with it by military law after I find it."

Bingtou turned around and looked at Qiao Mai, "Are you sure you lost these?"

"Sure, I know who the person who searched my yard just now is."

He turned his head and roared, "Stand up immediately, otherwise you will not be able to bear the consequences."

After an ideological struggle, a soldier stepped forward and took out a handful of objects from his pocket and stuffed them into the soldier's leader's hand.

Sure enough, there were three accessories and four exquisite purses.

The soldier turned around and put his hands in front of Qiao Mai, "I'm sorry, but my discipline is not strict, and I will deal with it by military law after I go back."

Qiao Mai took it over, took out a ten taels of silver from his cuff, and stuffed it into his hand.

"Thank you for your hard work, take it to drink tea!"

"Thank you!"

The soldier waved his hand at his soldiers, and the team opened the side door and left.

Qiao Mai, who has a good ear, heard that soldier was still complaining about the leader, "Boss, this jewelry looks very valuable, why did you ask me to return it to her?"

"I don't look at the place when I take something. The more valuable it is, the higher her status is. Do you know who this house is?"

"do not know."

"This is the private house of Pang Taishi's younger sister. If this woman can stop us from asking for her things back, she must not be messed with. You know nothing."

Qiao Mai rolled his eyes, went back to Haitang Courtyard, and asked Yuehong and Yuexia to put away the jewelry.

In fact, she didn't leak much money outside, most of it was stored in her space.

These soldiers can't get much if they want to, but she doesn't want to take advantage of these people for her things.

They are soldiers, not bandits, and they are not used to their problems.

Before noon, the old man and the old lady came back, not for any other reason, but because of the search.

As soon as he came back, he complained to Qiao Mai, "After searching for three days, the gates of the city were closed, ah, bah, what is that in the Fu family, if someone dares to steal his house, it means that they are capable of stealing, and they can't even find it." Now, let’s search again, search for his grandma.”

Qiao Mai laughed at once, "Isn't the Wang family next to the Fu family, it should have been searched yesterday."

"For a big family like the Wang family, they dare not search without an order. During the search, there are people present, and the soldiers dare not do anything wrong."

"Bichun Garden has also been searched."

"I heard from the servants, how many good things did they take from you?"

"Well, I'm coming back again."

"I'll ask my elder brother from my natal family to find a job for the Fu family. Except for Taifu Fu who is a bit knowledgeable, the juniors in his family are not angry, and the post of Shangshu is a bit of a disadvantage. If it weren't for his father, he would be a fart. "

"Your family doesn't deal with his family?"

"It's that old guy who always feels that the Grand Master is one level older than him. He is not convinced all day long and always wants to find out about my natal family."

"Where is your natal family?"

"The only Grand Master's residence in the capital, the late Grand Master Pang is my father, and the current Grand Master Pang is my elder brother."

"Oh, it's amazing, I hugged a golden thigh, whoops, I'm floating, I'm floating."

"Fuck you, always tease me, haha!"

The old lady couldn't help laughing, and Qiao Mai grinned a little proudly.
