After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother
Chapter 118 A failed money-making operation
Shen Mufeng stood aside, watching her movements, with a smile on his face. He also very considerately reached out to help hold the stick, so that she could have two paws free to understand all the numbers.
However, when Chen Lingfang saw the familiar gesture of the old lady, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he rushed forward to interrupt her spell.
"Miss Chu, these are not bandits or robbers who need to be wanted. Our government will not accept ordinary evil slaves like these!"
Important things must be made clear first!
He remembered that a few days ago he went to the magistrate to approve a bounty, but was scolded miserably. He couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.
I can understand why Lord Li was so upset.
After all, what kind of good person would come to collect the bounty not one by one, but in piles?
"...You don't want to accept it?"
Chu Chi's face instantly fell, and disbelief was clearly written all over it. He wondered if the other party wanted to default on his debt.
"No!"
Chen Lingfang nodded reluctantly, gritting his teeth and holding on.
Although he was a little scared by the gaze of those eyes, he knew his own business. In order to collect the bounty for the heroine Chu, their Lord Li almost took off his underwear and pawned it.
A few days ago, I explained with tears and snot that in the past few months, all the people in the government have to tighten their belts and live a frugal life. Once the money is paid out by the higher authorities, this difficult time will be over.
You say, if he dares to open his mouth and agree to something rashly today, wouldn't Lord Li be hanged in front of the county government office in front of him?
Just thinking about it, Chen Lingfang began to tremble.
He was originally demoted because he committed a crime, but less than two months after taking office, he forced his superior to death?
If the news gets back to the capital, will he still be able to pass?
The other party's attitude was so resolute that even Chu Chi, who was not very smart, could see it clearly. The disappointment on her face was as big as ヽ(  ̄д ̄;)ノ!
"You really don't charge anything at all?"
She didn't want to work in vain, so she struggled hard, pointed at the piece on the ground with her left hand, and tried to sell it diligently.
"Look, these are all alive. I guarantee that none of them are dead! If it really doesn't work, I'll give you a discount. Ten taels, no, five taels!"
"No!"
"Four ounces?"
"Three liang?"
"One tael! It really can't be any less. I'm already losing money on this price to gain publicity. You can't let me make this trip in vain, can you?"
Chu Chi had indeed sold off all his goods at a loss, but the other party was as hard-hearted as a rock and refused to buy them.
"I really can't accept it. I don't want a penny. If it really doesn't work, I'll find a few people to carry you back? I won't let you make this trip again, okay?"
The two of them were talking very smoothly, and the group of people lying on the ground beside them were so excited that they were shocked! What kind of animals are these two? Is what they are talking about something that people should talk about?
The young yamen runners squatting on the side, who had never seen or eaten a proper meal, poked their squad leader in confusion.
Look, boss, you’re the living devil on earth!
Wang Da, who had come back to his senses, glared at the little bastards fiercely. Then he stepped forward and bowed to ask for instructions from his superiors.
"Please advise, Lord County Lieutenant, shall we go in to search for evidence? Do these injured people need to be accommodated elsewhere? Also,"
Wang Da hesitated for a moment, thinking that he had to surrender completely. Anyway, he had already offended the man surnamed Yang today, so he might as well use all his strength and do his best to crush him to death!
"Would you like to search the inner quarters of the Yang Mansion?"
Chen Lingfang raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment. He never neglected serious matters. So he raised his hand and gave his men a reassurance.
"How can we not go in and search? These people won't die for now, so let's ignore them for now.
You guys go look for it right now, but don't go into the inner courtyard for now. Just search the outer courtyard carefully first. If you really can't find anything, then take extraordinary measures.
Remember to do your job well, and you will be rewarded later!"
With the order from the county lieutenant, the group of yamen runners, who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, all rushed in with all their might. Who wouldn't want to make contributions as quickly as possible so as to have a bright future for themselves in the future?
The Yang family residence covers a large area. Although its decoration is not luxurious, it is definitely beyond the capabilities of a county magistrate.
Especially when those boxes of silks, satins, gold, silver and jewelry were carried out from the warehouse and spread out in broad daylight.
Chen Lingfang knew that the evidence was sufficient.
Chu Chi squatted on the side and watched with his eyes wide open. Tears of envy flowed down from the corners of his mouth. He really hated that she had grown a brain now. How great it would be if she was still as ignorant as before? Then, all this money would be willing to go home with him!
She turned her head pitifully to look at Chen Lingfang, trying to let him feel her sincerity. Who knew that he turned away quickly as if avoiding a disaster. Every corner of his clothes was filled with rejection.
Don’t try to force a sale, it won’t work!
"........."
The sorrows of zombies are always incommensurable with those of humans.
She squatted back beside the boxes with her head hung in frustration, looking as pitiful as a miser who was about to go bankrupt.
Some people couldn't stand this sad scene.
Shen Mufeng, who was squatting beside her and holding a stick, moved closer to her unnoticeably and comforted her in a low voice.
"Don't feel bad. I have a small storehouse in my house with a lot of things in it. From now on..."
"Are you showing off to me?!"
Chu Chi couldn't believe it. I didn't expect you to be this kind of Shen Xiaowu? When you were eating meat and I didn't even have soup, you were still smacking your lips in front of me? What's the difference between this and Fatty Lin deliberately eating candy cakes in front of me?
Suddenly I felt even more uncomfortable.
Her sudden hatred for the rich put her self-esteem as a poor person under her hands and beat her up. How embarrassing it would be if she didn't have something that her good friend had.
I was so amused by her retort that I couldn't help but want to praise her. Her brain has really improved so fast, it's much better than before.
"I'm not showing off. I just wanted to give it to you later."
Who knew that she would shake her head and refuse so straightforwardly.
"You can't just ask for other people's things."
Shen Mufeng's eyes flashed.
"Who taught you this?"
Chu Chi scratched his head in confusion, but came up with nothing, so he could only answer honestly.
"do not know."
More and more things were seized, and soon they filled up half of the yard. Such a big commotion in the outer courtyard could not fail to alarm the inner courtyard of Yang Mansion.
The old lady of the Yang family, who received the news, was helped out by the maid with a look of shock and anger. Along with her came the five or six concubines of the Yang family who were dressed up in fancy clothes.
