Chapter 81
Half a quarter of an hour later, Zuixianglou.
The county magistrate looked at the man with indifferent eyebrows, and then at the enthusiastic bustard in front of him, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead from time to time.
The old bustard saw Rong Xuan's official aura and was a little timid. After knowing that he was dumb, he breathed a sigh of relief.
A mute is not allowed to be an official in the imperial court, he is probably a young master who came out of the big court.
The county magistrate should be regarded as the entourage brought out by the young master.
At this time, the attendant took out a silver coin and asked the old bustard if he would accept the business. He wanted to buy someone's broken palm.
The old bustard's eyes flickered, looked at the silver on the table, and laughed dryly: "Hey, why is the young master so rude, he makes others cut off his palm every now and then, it scares the servant to death."
The young woman was pretentious, which could even be called fun, and the old procuress was still showing off her appearance. The county magistrate always felt that she looked like a toad that could eat people, which was scary.
The county magistrate turned to look at Rong Xuan, and sighed: "She may think our order is too small and she is unwilling to take it. Let's go to another house to see."
He put the silver back into the bag, fastened it with a rope, and got up to leave.
The old bustard struggled for a while, and seeing that they looked the same, she was really ready to leave. She hurried to the door, closed the door, and said seriously, "Whose broken palm do you two want to buy? What's the price?"
The county magistrate turned to look at Rong Xuan, his expression changed violently, his eyes widened as if saying: Brother Rong, it's her, it's them, the case has come to light!
Rong Xuan pushed him away, opened the door and walked out.
The county magistrate and the bustard were stunned at the same time.
County Magistrate: Didn't the case be solved?
Bustard: Didn't you come for a deal?
The bustard came back to his senses and wanted to keep the county magistrate: "My lord, explain the specific situation clearly, and the price is easy to negotiate."
The county magistrate shoved her away in embarrassment, and sighed pretentiously: "My brother has a bad temper, you don't want to do our business, so get angry with him, and I'll chase him back."
Seeing his cowardly appearance, the old bustard was unwilling to reconcile, so she coaxed her and said, "Oh, it's true that my mother was overly cautious about this matter, why don't you give me a deposit of 50 taels first, and wait for you to find another master?" Come back, are we discussing the specific situation?"
Her eyes were shining, and she secretly stared at the money bag on the county magistrate's waist.
The county magistrate was also smart, held her hand, and looked eagerly: "Don't worry, I only have these 50 taels of silver, but my brother..."
He made a gesture, and seeing the old bustard's eyes widen on purpose, he chuckled: "You wait here for me, I have to chase him back quickly, otherwise it will be your loss, mom, if he goes into another store."
Hearing this, the madam immediately let go of his arm, telling him to go and come back quickly.
The county magistrate ran out of Hualou, having the illusion of escaping from the clutches of the devil.
Rong Xuan was waiting for him at the intersection, and the two entered another flower house.
The business of this flower house is obviously better, and the bustard is more unscrupulous, and directly asked them if they want to break one palm or both palms, and the prices are different.
The county magistrate was stunned. Is this buying pork?
The bustard smiled slightly: "One palm is 100 taels of silver, and two palms is 150 taels of silver. Of course, this is the price for ordinary people. If you are a nobleman, the price will be negotiated."
The county magistrate was surprised, but he still said seriously: "Whose severed palm do you want to buy, can you all help us take it off?"
The old bustard raised her lips and smiled: "It depends on whose palm the master wants, the status is too high... You have to give a deposit of 10 taels first, and we will take it at all costs."
"10 taels?" The county magistrate shook his head: "What if you can't do it?"
The old bustard said with confidence: "It must be that the nobleman's status is too high. If you think about the status of the nobleman, we can only do our best. If we can't make it, we will refund half of your deposit."
The county magistrate understood that human organs can be bought and sold in this way.
He hesitated: "Then we want that person's life?"
The old bustard raised his brows and said, "That's fine. A person's life is 1000 taels, and a nobleman's life is a deposit of 10 taels."
The county magistrate understood it thoroughly, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of arousing suspicion.
Rong Xuan's eyes indicated that he could leave.
The county magistrate was bitter in his heart, and the corners of his lips were even more bitter: "100 taels is too expensive, and I only have 50 taels..."
The bustard watched him tighten the purse, and it seemed that there was indeed an ingot of ingot in it.
The old bustard was considerate and said: "You can give 50 taels as a deposit first, and we will send out the task after you get the remaining 50 taels together."
The county magistrate smiled wryly and said, "50 taels is a deposit, we probably have to sleep on the street tonight."
Rong Xuan took out a copper plate from his waist and placed it in front of the bustard.
The old bustard looked at Rong Xuan blankly, not understanding what he meant.
The county magistrate really wanted to run away, but Rong Xuan stared at him, beckoning him to speak.
The county magistrate took a deep breath and explained to the old bustard: "He gave you this copper plate..."
He wanted to talk about the deposit he gave you, but he couldn't say anything.
The old bustard suddenly realized: "The young master rewarded me? Thank you very much!"
Rong Xuan frowned and shook his head.
The magistrate was helpless, and hurriedly said: "This is the deposit he gave. Please forgive me, we are really short of cash."
The old bustard's face turned blue in an instant, resisting the urge to beat them out, and stood up coldly: "Come back after you two have collected enough money, see off the guests!"
Rong Xuan got up quickly, picked up the copper coin on the table, and left with his hands behind his back.
The county magistrate followed behind him, wiping cold sweat.
The old bustard spit out a touch of saliva: "You look like a dog, but you are poor, I am!"
After leaving the flower building, the two of them did not enter other flower buildings, but found an inn to rest.
Li Chun and the other two police officers had already found the inn to rest.
The county magistrate asked Rong Xuan what to do tomorrow, and Rong Xuan wrote a word on the table: Hui.
Waking up early in the morning, the county magistrate and Rong Xuan ate breakfast, went back to the old alley of Huajie, found the other two policemen and Li Chun, and asked them to pack their things and prepare to return to Qingshan Town.
When leaving Fucheng, the carriage was stuck in the middle of the road.
The county magistrate asked the police to inquire quickly, only to find out that today is the day when the Su and Zhao families get married.
The county magistrate felt that these two surnames sounded familiar.
The policeman quickly explained: "Your Excellency, you may have forgotten that the surname of Master Futai is Su."
The county magistrate suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
The catcher said again: "I heard that this Zhao family is not simple, it is the prefect of Youzhou and the next..."
He whispered two words.
After all, I haven't sat down yet.
The county magistrate glared at him: "Who did you listen to?"
The policeman let out a hey: "I'm going to inquire, that's what they say, Zhao Tongzhi has been working in the Futai Institute recently."
Su Zhi was about to be promoted back to Beijing, but he didn't go to the government office for a while, and Zhao Tongzhi thought he was the next Futai, so he moved directly into the Futai courtyard.
