Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to find Jiang Yuan after dinner, and asked him to search the village with her after nightfall. It would be best to get the account books of the village's vanilla transactions and money transactions, so that he could catch An Hong's tail.

.

According to estimated time, Darong's batch of silk and satin had already entered Beijin. In the afternoon, Liu Yunxiang went to Nanmo Zhai to arrange for manpower to receive the goods.

She saw Aunt Qiu standing at the end, wearing a purple robe, a belt, her hair neatly tied into a high ponytail, and a long sword on her waist. Although she was in her forties, she was younger than the waiter next to her.

Will regain the spirit.

Liu Yunxiang explained a few words, and then they set off.

Aunt Qiu walked to the end and when she passed Liu Yunxiang, she asked: "Do you really have one hundred taels of silver?"

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "The goods were delivered to Jin'an smoothly. I will pay you immediately."

"One hundred taels?"

Liu Yunxiang was funny, "Yes, one hundred taels."

"Why does it seem like money is so easy to make here?"

"Well, it's business after all."

"No business without treachery?"

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes: "The investment cost is large, and the profit will naturally be more. This is a serious business."

Aunt Qiu curled her lips and said, "It sounds like someone is not serious."

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "I didn't mention you."

Aunt Qiu gritted her teeth, "You are obviously talking about me!"

"Oh, just say so."

Aunt Qiu was so angry that she stamped her feet, but for the sake of one hundred taels of silver, she still endured her anger and went.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and shook his head. In fact, money is not that easy to earn. The people she sent to pick up the goods were all her own, and she was the only one who was added. According to the market, the price was only ten taels of silver at most.

But Aunt Qiu is here to support the children in the kindergarten, so she should just show her kindness.

After coming out of Nanmo Zhai, Liu Yunxiang walked to the street and saw the blind woman setting up a stall alone.

"We are selling rice cakes, fragrant and soft rice cakes, freshly baked!"

At this time, someone came up to buy. The blind woman wrapped it in oil paper and muttered: "Don't steal my rice cakes just because you are blind. Although I can't see, my ears are very good. Hey, can you?"

You took an extra piece from me, put it down quickly!"

The woman selling rice cakes said angrily: "You are wronged because you are blind, so I won't buy it!"

"Hey, I've wrapped it up for you!"

The person had already gone far, so the blind woman had no choice but to put him back.

The person setting up a stall nearby asked: "Where is your wife?"

"My son took me away early in the morning and I don't know what I was doing. I couldn't wait for this big pot of rice cakes to cool down and harden. I had to sell it alone."

When Liu Yunxiang passed by, she happened to hear the blind woman say this. At first she didn't pay attention, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly thought of what Wu Zijin said to her.

"Then Chen Hou wanted to go in, but he had no money and wanted to get credit, so he was kicked out. The people inside even shouted at him: sell your house, land, wife, children, as long as you can get the money, you can

You can come in and be a god for a while."

Selling your wife?

As Zijin said, women are still being sold there.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly found Zijin and asked her to pay attention to Lan Niang. However, she was still worried. When Zijin and Jiang Yuan set off, she went with them.

Went around to the back of the temple and saw a very secret village. The outside was in tatters and looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. Zijin led him over the wall from the front yard and went in. They took advantage of the night to avoid the patrols, and it took a while to get there.

Go around to the backyard.

This place is different from the desolation outside and in the front yard of Zhuangzi. Lanterns are lit everywhere. There is a main house on one side of the courtyard and side rooms on the other three sides. They are divided into rooms one by one. The doors and windows are closed. Some rooms

White smoke came out, and the whole courtyard was filled with a bitter aroma. The maids and boys who served were walking around in various rooms holding incense burners.

Liu Yunxiang saw another corner door on the west wall, and a maid came in from there holding an incense burner.

Are there any rooms there?

She hid in the dark and asked Zijin and Jiang Yuan to look for the account books first.

After waiting for a while, she saw a scholar in plain robes rushing out of a room. He was holding a book in his hand, reading loudly and turning the pages quickly, as if he was very hot, and tearing his own lips at the same time.

clothes, the whole person is in an extremely excited state.

At this time, another scholar came out of a room. He was reciting an article and his speech was unclear.

"This Number One Scholar incense is indeed magical. I am now clear-headed. I have memorized the article that was originally obscure and difficult to pronounce. I will definitely pass the high school this time! I want to be the Number One Scholar, a high official, with money and power!"

Another scholar ran out of the room, all of them crazy.

Liu Yunxiang frowned. What Zhuangyuan incense is, it is clearly a vine incense. It can indeed make people's nerves in a state of excitement, as if their minds are clear. However, it can be addictive, and if you smoke it too much, you will become useless.

Taking advantage of the autumn season, the owner of the village used this as a gimmick to make some dirty money.

Of course, these scholars who do not study hard and look at the heretical ways deserve what they deserve.

At this moment, Liu Yunxiang saw Chen Hou pulling Lan Niang in.

When Lan Niang saw the crazy scholars in the courtyard, she was so frightened that she hid behind Chen Hou.

"Husband, where is this place? Why did you bring me here?"

Chen Hou held Lan Niang's hand tightly, his eyes full of greed, "This is a good place to study. Not only can the reading be absorbed into the brain, but the light and airy feeling is so wonderful that it will be unforgettable for a lifetime."

At this time, a scholar suddenly stepped forward to take Lan Niang's hand. His breathing was a little tight and his face turned red.

Lan Niang was startled, quickly shook off the scholar, and hugged Chen Hou's arm in fear.

"Husband, let's go home, there's something not right about this place."

"No, I must smoke a stick of champion incense today!"

"What is Zhuangyuanxiang?"

"Don't ask, just follow me!"

Chen Hou pulled Lan Niang to a room and was about to knock on the door. The door opened first, and a disheveled man rushed out. His eyes were wide open, as if he was looking for prey.

As soon as he saw Lan Niang, he rushed forward quickly.

"Mr. Chen, I brought someone to you, as we agreed before..."

"Go!"

The man stared at Lan Niang and waved to Chen Hou beside him.

Chen Hou smelled the fragrance of vines coming out of the room, and his mind was already wandering. When the man agreed, his eyes lit up, and he quickly let go of Lan Niang and ran into the room.

"Husband! Don't leave me!"

Lan Niang turned pale with fright and clutched Chen Hou's hand desperately.

"Let's go home, please, husband."

Chen Hou smelled the fragrance of the vines, and his heart felt as if he was being tickled. He was extremely anxious. At this time, he could not care about Lan Niang and pushed her away.

"Please take good care of Mr. Chen, and we will go home later!"

Lan Niang didn't understand for a moment. "Husband, you..."

"Don't worry, I don't dislike you." With that, Chen Hou hurried in.

Lan Niang stood there stupidly. It wasn't until the man hugged her that she came back to her senses and struggled desperately.

"Let me go!"

"Husband!"

"Chen Hou!"

Lan Niang was already weak and could not stand up to the man in front of her. Her clothes were quickly torn. This movement also caused other people to gather around her, all of them looking confused.

Lan Niang could not understand at this moment that Chen Hou had sold her!

Liu Yunxiang was naturally anxious, but if she rushed forward like this, not only would she not be able to save Lan Niang, but she would also catch up with herself. Zijin and Jiang Yuan hadn't come back yet, so Liu Yunxiang looked around, gritted his teeth for the last time, and secretly picked it off a few steps away.

lantern, and then threw it into a room with an open door.

The fire quickly started burning.
