"What, that's all?"
Fang Dou stared at Captain Cai, stunned.
Captain Cai held up the account book and spread his hands helplessly, "Sorry, there are only thirty-eight taels left!"
The number they talked about was Fang Dou’s bounty.
"Didn't it meant that five thousand taels were more than five thousand?"
Fang Dou turned his fingers and no matter how he calculated, he was too far from 38 liang, unless... someone was full of his own pockets.
"My little master, you have spent all these days on medicinal materials like mountains and seas, and they are all bought with real money!"
Captain Cai had no choice but to explain that even if the medicinal materials merchants sold them at a cost price, many of them were still expensive beyond imagination.
For example, tiger bones, rhinoceros horns, bear galls, dragon scales, phoenix blood, etc., which are not affordable by officials and nobles, and are linked to gold of equal weight.
Although there are many auxiliary materials for practicing magic, the main materials are all precious medicinal materials of this level.
Fang Dou thought that 5,000 taels was an astronomical figure, and he spent a lot of money. When he checked out, he found it was dumbfounded.
He was like a otakus who gritted his teeth and spent money to spend money and finally charged a large amount of gold coins. He bought skins and equipment, and the girl also hooked up. After he finished the fun, he found that the gold coins were gone.
It’s not just emptiness, it’s simply kidney deficiency!
"Well!"
Captain Cai showed sympathetic eyes and took out a handful of silver from his arms, "That's all left!"
Other gold and silver have been converted into various medicinal materials, and the rest are stored in the yard.
"It's better than nothing!"
Fang Dou took the silver, but unexpectedly, Captain Cai spoke again, this time he spoke with apologetic tone.
"Sorry, Master!"
"Just just now, the county magistrate said that the matter has been completed. Please go back to the temple to practice. The county government is important, so it is not convenient to keep outsiders."
The implication is that he offended Qianqiu Society despite Fang Dou and was unwilling to provide shelter.
Fang Dou's face darkened. He broke the bridge across the river and killed the donkey after he crossed the river... Bah!
Captain Cai sighed in his heart. The county magistrate is a wealthy family. He acts in a straightforward manner and will never be compatible. According to his ideas, Fang Dou is so capable that it will be no harm to take the opportunity to make friends!
What a pity that the county magistrate refused to keep him.
"Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye!"
Fang Dou suddenly laughed, "I feel sorry for bothering these days. Captain Cai, let's leave!"
He returned to the yard, packed the remaining medicinal materials and carried them heavy behind him.
The remaining medicinal materials are enough for him to practice for a while, not to mention that they were all bought with real money, five thousand taels, and it hurts to think about it.
When he walked to the county government office, Fang Dou saw the previous little constable, leading a crying child, and dragging him out.
"I don't want to go, don't go!"
"Fubao is going home. Fubao has a home and a father and mother!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The young detective Qingneng's face was full of embarrassment and whispered, "Be good, the mother of the Sales Hospital is a good person and will treat you well!"
The child is about six or seven years old, and is born white and tender, and the clothes are of good quality. Obviously, he is not from a humble background, but should be from both wealthy families.
Fang Dou stopped and Captain Cai was sending him out. Seeing this, he walked up, "What's wrong?"
Fang Dou pointed at the child, "What's going on?"
He clearly remembered that this child was taken out of the eggshell by himself and was also one of the children trafficked by Lang Qi.
I heard that during this period, all the abducted children were borrowed by their families, so why did one of them missed?
"This child is called Fubao. His situation is hard to describe!"
Captain Cai explained to Fang Dou.
It turned out that the child was already sensible. After waking up, he told him about his origin. His name was Fubao, and he was from Jiangjiazhuang, the next county. He was the old son of the owner and his wife.
"Since that's the case, I'll send someone back to Jiangjiazhuang. If I can't send someone, I'll send a letter to Jiangjiazhuang to pick up people."
This county is hundreds of miles away from Jiangjiazhuang, and at least a few days and nights will take to walk.
Jiangjiazhuang has hundreds of people. The owner is a big landlord with rich financial resources and has a son in old age. He must be eager to see his son in person.
Captain Cai sighed, "If this is true, it will be much easier!"
He sent someone to inform Jiangjiazhuang in Lin County at the first time, and soon received a reply. The only son of the owner and his wife had been in the village and had never been lost.
"That must be remembering it wrong. The child is young, maybe he is missing nearby."
Captain Cai sighed and shook his head, "I also thought that in the next county, there was no child like Fubao lost."
"Is this trouble?"
Fang Dou also knew that the child’s memories were true and false, and he was kidnapped away from his hometown by Lang Qi. If you want to rely on Fubao’s memories, you may not be able to find your origin.
"There is no choice. The county government cannot raise children, so it has to be sent to the Sales Hospital!"
"What, Sales House?"
Listen to the name, Sales Hospital and Welfare Hospital, and nursing homes have similar functions, but this is a feudal society. If there is such a good thing, can we establish a public welfare charity similar to that in modern times?
The answer is no!
There are even precedents of people starving to death in the Sales Hospital in the county. Even homeless orphans will not be allowed to enter the Sales Hospital even if they become beggars.
If you send a good child in, you may not be able to live to adulthood.
Fang Dou sighed, "What a pity!"
Captain Cai said, "There is no way. Besides, we are also helping him find his family. Once Fubao's family is found, he doesn't have to stay in the Sales Hospital!"
The young detective was still trying hard to drag Fubao. With his arm strength and martial arts, even the bull could pull it, but he was afraid of hurting the child's tender hands and never dared to use force.
"never mind!"
Fang Dou sighed, "Captain Cai, let me take this child away!"
Captain Cai was happy, and this was also a solution. To be honest, he is a civil servant in the county and knows more clearly where the Sales Hospital is.
To be honest, the child is one hundred times better than going to the Sales Hospital with Fang Dou.
"Fubao, this little master wants to take you home, will you go?"
Fu Bao turned around and saw Fang Dou's short hair, and he focused his head, "I'll go!"
The young detective was a little discouraged. He had been useless for a long time and could not match Fang Dou's appearance. He couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"Mom also worships the monk and burns incense at home. I believe the monk is a good person!"
Captain Cai laughed and thought to himself that the child’s mother believed in Buddhism, this is a clue.
...
Fang Dou turned around, looked at the gate of the county town, then turned around and led Fubao, "Let's go!"
Fubao held a candy man and licked it while saying, "This malt sugar is not sweet enough, it must be mixed with something!"
"Boy, you have a very good mouth!"
"Now I finally believe that you are from a wealthy family."
Fubao creaked and cut off the candy man's arm, "I didn't lie. I was the eldest master of Jiangjiazhuang. Our family has a thousand acres of paddy fields!"
Fang Dou rubbed his head, "Stop blowing, go!"
"Go home with me, I have enough rice, but I can't eat meat!"
Fu Bao frowned and questioned, "Why, the meat is so delicious, braised, steamed, roasted, and..."
Fang Dou leaked out the water and shouted with a stern face, "I didn't see that I was a monk, so I can't eat meat!"
The journey back was particularly easy. Fang Dou and Fubao quarreled. Time flies very quickly, but the child's legs and feet are not working. After half a mile of his way, he stretched out his fat arms and begged for a hug.
