Jiang Yao rode her horse to the town, came to the inn where she usually stayed, booked a room, tied the horse, had a meal, and then went to the market.
At the familiar stall, she put down the rice wine, took out a small stool, and sat down.
She has set up stalls here so many times that everyone around her knows her and comes to say hello when she is free.
"Ms. Jiang, why didn't I see you some time ago?"
"My arm was injured, so I rested for a while." Jiang Yao said.
"Then you have to be careful. By the way, have you heard about it? A big incident happened in the town some time ago. Member Zhao from the east of the city looked sanctimonious and actually kidnapped and sold a little girl and drank her blood.
"
Everyone was interested in the gossip, and when we talked about it, other people joined in.
"I heard something about it. What does he do when he drinks blood?"
"It seems like it's not working well there?"
"No wonder he married so many concubines but had no children. His mother also blamed those concubines for not being able to have children and selling them off at every turn."
"It doesn't matter whether it works or not, the county magistrate has made the decision."
This was fresh news, and everyone looked at him expectantly.
"What's the verdict?"
The man managed to get everyone's attention and gained a sense of superiority before saying, "The county magistrate has sentenced me to death by beheading."
"Beheading?"
Everyone took a breath of cold air.
This execution of beheading is not something that can be done easily, just those bandits and robbers, this Zhao Yuanwai is usually very impressive!
Such a person was actually sentenced to death?
"Yes, he not only cooperated with Ren Yazi and abducted children, but it is said that he also committed many crimes."
"He is actually not Mr. Zhao's biological son, but the son of his mother who had an affair. Later, Mr. Zhao found out and refused to give him the family property. He said he wanted to adopt a nephew and give the property to him. As a result, he and his mother were cruel.
Yeah, I actually killed Mr. Zhao!"
"Oh my God, this is too cruel. However, this has been happening for decades, and the county magistrate has also found out?"
"Yes, this county magistrate is really a god. He just solved the bandits a while ago, and this time he has found out such a big case. It is really a blessing to Lord Qingtian and our Lushui County."
"Then Mr. Zhao and his mother have enjoyed so many blessings for so many years. If it weren't for the county magistrate, they could continue to enjoy it. Mr. Zhao, who died in vain, would probably lie on the ground without closing his eyes!"
Everyone praised the county magistrate one after another.
Jiang Yao also wanted to praise him.
It seems that Ji Huaiye started investigating the case after he returned that day.
It was not easy for Ji Huaiye to investigate what happened decades ago, but he still found out.
It also gave Tianbao and Jiang Yao a bad breath!
Jiang Yao felt particularly relieved!
Deserve it!
If Ji Huaiye was right in front of her, she would definitely treat him to dinner!
Jiang Yao was in a particularly good mood and shouted with great enthusiasm.
However, her wine was not easy to sell today. After most of the day, she only sold one pound, and it was bought by a regular customer.
Jiang Yao inquired with the regular customer and found out.
"The price of rice wine at our only tavern in Stone Town has recently been reduced, and the price is lower than yours. So, everyone went there to buy it," the man said.
"Your wine tastes good, that's why I came to buy it from you."
Jiang Yao's eyes suddenly widened.
Price reduction of special rice wine?
Jiang Yao thought there was something fishy, so she waited for a chance to find out more.
At the end of the day, Jiang Yao only sold half a can, totaling five kilograms, and earned two taels and five hundred Wen.
After Jiang Yao closed the stall, she went to the tavern and found out the reason.
It turns out that the owner of the tavern has changed, and the name has been changed. The new owner is Guo Ershao, who had a conflict with Jiang Yao that day.
This can explain why the other party is willing to spend such a high price to make it impossible for his business to continue.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Jiang? Are you here to buy wine too?" It was Er Shao Guo who spoke.
He is the most vindictive person.
That day, I was first stepped on by this unscrupulous woman, and then my face was scratched by a wild monkey.
As a small town in Shitou Town, just asking the servants to inquire a little bit, they found out that the wild monkey was raised by this woman.
He knew that the woman was running a stall in the town, and he had wanted to seduce her for a long time.
Selling wine at a stall?
He made it impossible for her to sell it!
It happened that his eldest brother was ill and his sister-in-law had to take care of him, so he encouraged him to take care of the family property.
When he had money, he bought the tavern and renamed it "Guo's Tavern".
He deliberately lowered the price of rice wine to an extremely low price. Let’s see if she can still sell it!
"How much does this rice wine cost?" Jiang Yao asked.
"One pound of rice wine is one hundred cents." Guo Ershao said deliberately.
One kilogram only sells for one hundred wen, and Jiang Yao's ten-jin jar is only one tael.
This is almost lower than the cost price.
Jiang Yao's rice wine costs five taels. Except for those who are particularly interested in taste, given the huge price difference, they will definitely buy the rice wine in this tavern.
Jiang Yao wandered around for a while, then turned and left the tavern.
Guo Ershao looked at her leaving figure and was in a very good mood, with a face full of pride.
Jiang Yao returned to the inn, and she kept thinking about this along the way.
If she doesn't take the initiative to look for trouble, she won't be able to endure it even if trouble comes to her door.
The more Guo Er Shao targeted her, she was like a seed covered by thick soil, trying hard to sprout its teeth.
The counterattack should be considered in the long run.
Jiang Yao has one more thing to do.
While it was still early, I left the unsold wine at the inn and went to the market again.
She walked to the end of the market, turned left, and entered a small alley.
There are many people in this alley, and there are also many people who sell themselves.
In this era, human life is like a piece of grass, and people are also a commodity.
As soon as Jiang Yao entered, someone came to greet him.
"Madam, do you want to buy someone? A maid, a book boy? A nursing home, a wet nurse? I have them all here."
She led Jiang Yao to look, and saw many people squatting in that corner, including men, women, old and young. They were all dirty and in ragged clothes. They all had their eyes open, looking at her eagerly.
Jiang Yao took one look and felt a little unbearable.
This is the case in this era, and it cannot be changed by one person.
She has to live a good life first before she can help more people.
Jiang Yao's purpose is to find guards for the two babies.
First of all, the guards must be young and middle-aged, with relatively good skills, and must be loyal to protect the master.
Jiang Yao took a look and saw that there was no suitable choice among the group of old, weak, women and children.
She shook her head and continued walking forward.
She walked from this side of the alley to the other end of the alley, and it was okay to watch the two of them.
A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, a young man of about twenty-five years old, with a good physique.
It's just that I don't know what his character is like.
Suddenly, a young man who looked like a beggar rushed over, ripped off Jiang Yao's money bag, and ran away without a trace.
