Chapter 158 Not used to their problems

"As long as it is 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 each 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 thirty years old and of good quality. It is thirty taels of silver a piece. The age of Ganoderma lucidum is about the same. It is twenty taels of silver a piece. These three Seven, two taels of silver per catty, do you think?"

"OK, let's go through the scale,"

"The buddy was 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 of 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 are sold, and there are four left. This is one of the four.

The shopkeeper opened the cloth bag and saw 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"

"Thirteen thousand taels, no more."

Qiao Mai raised his eyebrows. At the beginning, those two were sold for 20,000 taels, and the one in Beijing gave him an extra 3,000 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."

"Go ahead!"

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

"Don't know what you guys 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, but they had nothing to do with the Fu family.

"Then he is?"

Qiao Mai took his time, "I live in Bichunyuan, and I am a friend of the old lady of the Wang family. This time, I came to attend the wedding of the young prince at Prince Shun's residence."

"Then how do you come to sell medicine?"

"When I went out, I picked it from the big mountain at home, and I was afraid it would be damaged."

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, the Fu's family throws away ten taels and writes twenty taels, if you see someone else's things look like yours, maybe yours will be punished as well." Search it, hurry 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 returned 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, and protected Yuehong and the others behind her.

After a while, the officers and soldiers came out, looked them up, and left the Haitang courtyard.

As soon as the people 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.

"Mom, 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 are not thieves, don't be afraid, right?"

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

The children felt relieved, and after a while, Yuehong Yuexia walked 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, closed the side door, closed the gate, and the officers and soldiers hadn't left yet.

She stood in front of the door, "Whoever took my and my child's hair accessories 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 friends from overseas, and four purses, which are my children'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, otherwise, after I find it, I will deal with it by military law."

Bing 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 around 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 arms and stuffed them into the hands of the soldier.

Sure enough, there are 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 according to the military law when I go back."

Qiao Mai took it, 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 good ears, 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 things. The more valuable they are, the higher her status is. Do you know who this house is?"

"have no idea."

"This is the private house of Taishi Pang'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.

Actually, 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 cheap 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 Fu's house, if someone dares to steal his house, it means that they are capable of stealing, and they can't even find it." Come on, search again, search his grandma for a drill."

Qiao Mai laughed immediately, "Isn't Wang's house next to Fu's house, I should have searched it yesterday."

"A big family like the Wang family would not dare to search without an order. During the search, there would be people present, and the soldiers would not dare to mess around."

"Bi Chun Yuan 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 older brother from my natal family to find a job for the Fu family later on. Except for Taifu Fu who is a bit knowledgeable, the younger generation 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. "

"Does your family not get along with his family?"

"It's that old guy. He always feels that the grand master is one level older than him. He is unconvinced all day long and always wants to find out about my natal family."

"Where is your natal family?"

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

"Hey, it's amazing, I hugged a golden thigh, hey, I'm floating, I'm floating."

"Fuck you, always teasing me, haha!"

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