Chapter 156: Where did you get this banknote?
The weather is getting warmer, and there will be more and more wild vegetables outside. There is no need to worry about starving to death.
This little girl is young and looks very smart. I believe that as long as she can overcome the current difficulties, her life will be better and better!
The little girl named Xiaoya never expected that the big brother in front of her would not only give her meat, but also salt and silver.
It is said that children from poor families grow up early, and a girl like her who has only a grandmother at home is even more precocious.
She knew how precious these things were, and she also knew that there was no need for others to help her in this way.
No matter what the other party's reason was, she was the one who got the benefit.
So she knelt on the ground without saying a word and kowtowed three times to Baili Zheng very respectfully.
Then he looked up and said seriously: "Big brother, thank you, grandma and I will live well!"
Baili Zheng stretched out his hand to support her and said, "Go back, and be careful on the road.
Remember to hide these things so that no one can find them.
If people find out and come to rob you, you must remember that nothing is more important than being alive!"
The little girl hummed cautiously, then stood up, pulled her clothes open a little, and put the strip of meat under her armpits.
Then she held the silver ingot in her mouth and hid the bag of salt in her sleeve.
After doing all this, she bowed to Baili Zheng again before leaving.
About half an hour after the little girl left, someone else came.
The one who came this time was still the woman known as the Zhang family.
As soon as she came over and saw Baili Zheng, she lowered her voice and said:
"Sir, I remembered one more thing, and I think it might be useful to you."
"Well, tell me about it. If it's useful, I can still give you two pounds of meat."
The woman was delighted and said immediately, "As a widow, I once curiously asked Xu when her husband died.
She said it was a few months ago, not long after the flood.”
This is still useless news to Baili Zheng.
Xu had lied before, so whether Su Ye was dead or not remained to be confirmed.
So he shook his head and said, "This news is useless to me."
Zhang Jia felt very sorry when she heard this, but she soon cheered up and told the main purpose of her trip.
"Then sir, are you selling this meat? I can use silver to buy all of yours!"
It's cold now, so things can stand being put away.
She happened to have some shady money on hand, and it would be great if she could buy all the meat.
When the time comes, she will be cruel and use all the remaining salt for pickling.
After pickling, they are sold out in batches of two taels.
She just didn't believe that those who were extremely short of oil and water in their stomachs could bear it.
Originally, Baili Zheng was still thinking about how to deal with the meat.
After all, Su Rongrong was not here, and he couldn't carry these back to the top of the mountain.
Besides, even if they managed to get through it, it would be difficult for Su Rongrong to put it into the space with Jinhui and Dahu around.
So he thought, why not solve it down the mountain.
But there are very few people in Lanyu Village, and they don’t look rich.
If we sell it to them, it will definitely not sell.
If he took it to the county town or town to sell, he would not know what the situation was like there.
Considering the time spent going back and forth and staying in the county town, it would inevitably take two or three more days.
So, if someone is willing to buy it now, he will be willing to do so.
It’s just the price, it’s definitely not too cheap!
Thinking of this, he deliberately frowned and said, "Do you want to buy it with silver?"
The Zhang family urgently needed the meat, and nodded repeatedly when they heard this: "Yes! If you are willing to sell it, just give a suitable price and I will buy it all."
Baili Zheng saw that she didn't look like a rich person, so he didn't care where her money came from.
Seeing that she was serious about it, he said the price directly: "Ten taels for wild boar and five taels for musk deer.
If you can accept it, I will give you all of these. If you can't accept it, we can't do business together."
The Zhang family could accept ten taels of silver for the wild boar, but Lin Musk was not willing to do so.
I immediately heard her say: "The meat of musk deer is better than that of wild boar, but farmers want to fill their stomachs and have fat in their stomachs.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not, or what use it has after eating it.
I want all the rest of your wild boar, including the offal."
As she spoke, she carefully took out a purse from her thick cotton jacket.
The purse was bulging, but unlike the one that contained silver ingots, it was obvious that it contained silver bills.
Sure enough, not long after, she took out a banknote from her purse.
"Take a look, is this enough?"
No one from the Zhang family had ever received more than one or two taels of silver from childhood to adulthood, let alone silver notes.
Plus, she was illiterate, so she didn't know how much silver the note was worth.
Baili Zheng, who originally didn't want to get involved, asked Dahu to blow the fire stick after hearing this.
When he saw the bank where the banknotes were issued and the money bag in Zhang's hand, he narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Tell me, where did you get this banknote?"
Zhang Jia was already feeling guilty, and when she suddenly saw Baili Zheng's face darken, she subconsciously stuffed her purse back into her body and took a few steps back.
Before she could say she didn't want to buy it, Baili Zheng grabbed her clothes.
At this time, Baili Zheng did not distinguish between men and women.
He pulled at Zhang's clothes and winked at Dahu.
Da Hu stretched out two fingers and took the purse out of Zhang Jia's arms.
Baili Zheng stared at the lower left corner of the purse for a while, until he was sure that he was not dazzled, he said in a deep voice:
"Tell me the truth, where did this purse come from?
If you don't explain clearly, don't blame me for sending you to the government office!"
The Zhang family was so frightened that they even forgot to scream.
Hearing this, he subconsciously said: “I got this purse from Xu.
Before, I had thought that I would just have the wild vegetables, but that vicious woman, Mrs. Xu, tried to snatch them from me.
In a panic, I pushed her accidentally.
Who knew she would have such a short life, dying just like that.
I was very scared at first, but then I thought about how she had said before that her husband's family was so rich, yet they still lived a life of servants and maids, so I became greedy.
I searched around in the room she was using and found the purse!"
When Baili Zheng heard this, he said, "Xu got this money from her husband.
And her man was the murderer who sold Jinhui and killed my future father-in-law.
This banknote came from Jinbao Money House in Muyang Prefecture, and there was a word "Su" displayed under the purse.
Everything indicates that this silver is stolen money.
Not only did you harm people, you also stole the stolen money. What crime should you be charged with?"
As he said that, Baili Zheng pushed the man, and Zhang Jia fell to the ground instantly.
To her, killing one or two people in this world is normal.
If no one comes forward to sue, the government will not pursue the matter.
This Lanyu Village is the village where her man lives.
There are fewer people in the village now, but most of them are from the past.
If she really had any problem, she could just shout and everyone would come to help.
But looking at Baili Zheng like this, she didn't dare!
