Money is meant to be spent, and it is the right way to use it to improve your strength as soon as possible.
He still has fourteen taels of silver in his hand. If he buys all the ginseng roots, he can at least improve a few attribute points.
Don't hesitate.
Along the way, Lu Ning saw some new faces holding swords. Some were dressed in bright clothes, while others were dressed in shabby clothes.
Lu Ning knew that these people were probably here because of the thief.
"I wonder if the masked woman is dead."
Thinking of the masked woman last night, Lu Ning's heart froze.
The brief exchange made him realize that the other party was not easy to mess with. Even if the other party was seriously injured, if there was no system in hand, his life would have been decided there last night.
He had easily shot and killed the Zhao family warrior before. Although it was a sneak attack, he succeeded so easily, which also made him look down upon the warriors in this world.
But after what happened last night, he no longer dared to underestimate the warriors in this world, and thought it would be better to be careful in the future to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
"I don't know if the other party is dead or hiding somewhere."
Now there are so many people coming to arrest her. If one of them can't hide well, they might be caught.
But it's none of his business.
While thinking about it, Lu Ning walked away.
At this moment, Lu Ning saw the woman from last night again.
"is her!"
This woman was able to seriously injure the masked female thief, so she should not be underestimated.
At this time, the other party was chatting with people in the village, but did not notice Lu Ning.
Lu Ning glanced at her from afar and walked away quickly.
-------
Black Tree Village.
"What, no more."
Lu Ning looked disappointed.
He didn't expect to buy ginseng roots from Mr. Gui, but he was informed that they were no longer in stock.
"Sorry, little brother, this ginseng is not easy to dig. I bought it from other people in the village before. As soon as the good ginseng is dug out, we will immediately take it to the county and sell it to the drug store. Where will it be left?
On the body, only those roots will be kept for your own use."
"All the remaining roots have been sold to you."
"I'll keep an eye out for you. If anyone digs out new ginseng, I'll leave it for you."
"That's too much trouble." Lu Ning thanked him.
The old man Gui continued: "If you need it in a hurry, you can go to the county drug store to buy it, but if you buy it there, the price will be more expensive. You can decide for yourself."
The old man Gui was a simple man and did not hide anything from Lu Ning. He even recommended Lu Ning to buy it at the county drugstore.
"Oh okay."
"I haven't been to the county yet. I don't know how to get there?"
When the old man Gui heard that Lu Ning had never been to the county, he looked at Lu Ning with a puzzled expression and muttered to himself, "It's impossible."
Based on Lu Ning's generous performance, he thought that Lu Ning had at least met people in the market, how could he not even go to the county town.
However, he took a closer look at Lu Ning's clothes and saw that Lu Ning's clothes were simple and even a little shabby. Although he was still a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions.
The old man asked, "Are you going to walk?"
"No way?"
The old man laughed when he heard Lu Ning's words.
"Little brother, we have to walk for a long time to get to the town, and it's even further to the county. If we walk, we won't be able to get there in half a day." Seeing Lu Ning's troubled expression, the old man said again: "
I'll let Lao Liang's mule cart from the village take you there, and all you need to do is give him two copper coins for travel expenses."
"Then thank you, bro."
"Why are you so polite? I didn't pay for the car for you."
"This is the money I paid for buying medicinal materials last night. Now I'll pay you back." Lu Ning handed over a tael of silver.
"Okay." The old man took it and gave Lu Ning change.
Then the old man Gui took Lu Ning to the west of the village.
There is a big tree at the entrance of the village to the west, and a mule cart is parked under the big tree.
The so-called mule cart is a cart pulled by mules, and the wheels are made of wood.
The owner of the mule cart was an old man. In addition to the old man, there were already two villagers sitting on the mule cart, a man and a child.
The three of them looked at Lu Ning and Mr. Gui curiously.
"This little brother also goes to the county."
"Two copper coins."
Lu Ning handed over two copper coins, and the old man asked him to get on the mule cart.
Seeing that the old man was about to leave, the old man quickly asked: "He is going alone, you are not going?"
"Yeah, just let the little brother go."
"He went to the county and there was no one to look after him, right?" The old man was also kind-hearted and worried that it would be unsafe for Lu Ning to go to the county alone at such a young age.
After all, things are not going well these days, and anything can happen.
Hearing what the old man said, the old man Gui was also a little worried. He turned to look at Lu Ning, "You heard it too, do you still plan to go?"
"Go." Lu Ning nodded.
As he spoke, he patted the bow and arrow on his back, "My bow and arrow are not for display."
Hearing Lu Ning's words and his serious look, the old man, the noble man, and even the man and child next to him all laughed.
Everyone just thought that Lu Ning was just a child, and it was weird that the bow and arrow he drew could hurt people. They were afraid that he could only bluff people and show off.
"You are so young, can you pull this bow and arrow?" the old man couldn't help but say.
"It's okay." Lu Ning nodded.
Seeing Lu Ning's insistence, the old man Gui and the old man said nothing more.
The noble old man said hello to him and left.
The mule cart did not move so fast. After waiting for a while, two more people arrived one after another, and then the old man drove the mule cart towards the county.
the other side.
When Lu Ning rushed to the county.
County.
Zhao Mansion.
There were two people in the hall at this time, one of whom was the head of the Zhao Mansion—Zhao Yanchun.
Zhao Yanchun also has another identity, that is, the magistrate of Fengdu County.
There is another person, the bodyguard of the mansion - Tong Yusheng.
"There may be a thief."
"Sir, Han San didn't come back last night, and he still hasn't replied to his letter yet."
"Humph, Han San is not lying in the arms of another woman, and he hasn't woken up yet. Yusheng, you asked him to go."
"Sir, although Han San was born as a bandit and is a bit unconventional, he has never made any mistakes when doing business."
"So what do you mean?"
"I'm afraid something happened."
"Meet the thief?"
"It's possible."
"Then you think Han San is dead?"
"Either seriously injured or dead."
"It's okay if he's seriously injured, but if he dies, I'm afraid Zhou Zhang's incident with the bandits will be in vain." At this point, Zhao Yanchun couldn't help but rub his temples, with a look of worry on his face.
The gang of bandits in the Taiyin Mountains were doing bad things, and they were criticized by him, so they came up with the plan to recruit people. The bandit leader discussed with Zhao Yanchun that Han San would be allowed to work in the yamen first, and if he was satisfied, then all the bandits would join the yamen.
If you are not satisfied with what you are doing, then continue to be a bandit.
If Han San dies this time, not only will other bandits not join in, but it will also be difficult to explain Han San's death.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"Send people to the village to check again, and bring a few more people with you this time."
"Yes." Tong Yusheng retreated.
Just then, another servant came in.
"Your Majesty, this is a joint letter from several landowners in the county."
Zhao Yanchun took the letters and opened them. They were all scolding the Sun family.
The Sun family forcibly robbed people in various villages of their silver, which caused a great uproar.
Many tenant farmers had all their money stolen and could not survive this winter, so they had no choice but to appeal to their landlords.
Some cruel landowners ignored their tenant farmers and left them to their fate.
Some tenant farmers who have no rebellious mentality can only find their own solutions.
These tenant farmers are like Lu Da Niu.
However, some tenant farmers who had a rebellious mentality but hated the unfairness of heaven and had no choice but to rebel directly!
Several tenant farmers banded together to rob the landlord's money, resulting in many casualties.
Of course, more of those who died were sharecroppers.
But this also made the landowners complain, saying that the Sun family was responsible for the trouble and wanted the Sun family to compensate for their losses.
"Take some people with you and arrest all the tenant farmers who are causing trouble."
"Also, tell them that I know about this and I will personally go to Sun's house to reassure them."
