Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 974 Heading straight to the City Lord's Mansion on the 2nd

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You dare to threaten me?"

"Hehe, shopkeeper, I'm not easily intimidated. Besides, this thing is probably worth far more than three hundred taels."

"Don't try to intimidate me with some kind of constable. I'm barefoot, I'm not afraid of you guys wearing shoes!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper thought to himself, "I've met a tough one today; this one won't be easily fooled."

However, the city lord is indeed looking for this thing. If I buy it and give it to the city lord, then my family's pharmacy will probably become the largest in Shanba City.

Thinking of this, he felt a pang of heartache; he should have known better than to be so surprised.

Now, it seems we'll have to bleed a lot of money and spend a lot more.

So he quickly said, "Brother, how many do you want?"

After listening, Chu Chen glanced at the shopkeeper and thought to himself, "I don't even know anything about this stuff. How can I give a reasonable price?"

However, if you know something is valuable but not its value, then charging an exorbitant price is always the right thing to do!

So he held up three fingers: "Not much, three thousand taels!"

"Oh my god...you're asking for way too much!"

"Oh? That's too high," Chu Chen thought to himself, observing the shopkeeper's expression.

Indeed, he was overestimating himself. You know, three thousand taels of silver is enough for several generations to live a life of luxury without having to do anything.

"Then name an honest price. If it satisfies me, then I'll sell it to you."

After saying that, Chu Chen picked out another tiger bone from the basket on his back.

The shopkeeper thought to himself, "This is a ruthless man. Tiger bone. It seems he has a powerful backer. Otherwise, how could a mere mountain man kill a tiger?"

Moreover, judging from its color, this tiger had just been killed.

"Alright, young master, eight hundred taels of silver, tiger bone, and I'll give you another three hundred taels, how about that?"

One thousand one hundred taels in total? To be honest, Chu Chen felt a little uneasy.

It's not that he's greedy, but rather that he has absolutely no concept of money right now; he has plenty of it in his spatial storage.

However, he would never suffer a loss if he could gain an advantage: "Two items, totaling 1,600 taels, if you don't accept it, I'll eat them myself!"

"Young man, you're joking, you're joking. It would be a waste to eat this stuff..."

Not long after, Chu Chen emerged from the medicine, but his backpack contained a full 1,300 taels of silver.

The basket was completely filled with 26 large silver ingots, each weighing fifty taels. Luckily, the vines were sturdy, or they would have rotted.

As soon as Chu Chen reached the door, he put one thousand taels into his spatial storage with a thought.

Carrying three hundred taels of silver, he then pulled Wang Guifang toward a very grand-looking inn.

Wang Guifang never asked Chu Chen how much money he made.

In her heart, she already regarded Chu Chen as her man, and all of this was obtained by him. At most, she had only accompanied him on a trip to find out the truth.

"Haha, we're rich, sister-in-law!"

"Qingxuan, I shouldn't ask, but I'm still very curious, how much silver did you get for it!"

"I heard that my uncle from the same village once found a hundred-year-old ginseng and sold it for thirty taels of silver. He moved directly into the city."

Chu Chen curled his lip after hearing this, thinking to himself that those city people were really damn greedy.

"Hehe, ours is a bit older, and with the tiger bone, it sold for three hundred taels!"

"Ah...three hundred taels!"

Wang Guifang's mouth gaped open after hearing this, almost big enough to fit an extra-large sausage.

Three hundred taels of silver—she never dreamed that she would see three hundred taels of silver in her lifetime.

At this moment, she really wanted to go into the inn with Chu Chen as soon as possible, close the door, and see what the three hundred taels of silver actually looked like.

"Hehe, don't just stand there like an idiot, hurry up and let's get a room...we'll find a place to settle down first."

A short while later, to the innkeeper's astonishment, they paid fifty taels for a superior room, then exchanged it for forty-nine taels of silver before entering the room and closing the door.

After Chu Chen led Wang Guifang into the room, he dumped the two hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver onto the table.

This scene shocked Wang Guifang.

Before she knew it, tears streamed down her face like water from a broken pipe: "Qingxuan, we...we're rich now! I won't be bullied by those people anymore!"

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately stepped forward and held her down: "Don't worry, making money is an easy thing. The main thing is that I'm going to do something big tomorrow. If this succeeds, no one will ever dare to bully you again."

"Yes, I'll do whatever you say. Thank you for your hard work, Qingxuan. Let me serve you well!"

Half an hour later, Chu Chen tidied up the contents of his basket, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

That means becoming an official. I heard from the pharmacy owner today that the city lord needs old ginseng, so it's probably true.

The pharmacy owner received this information from the head constable, so he would have to make a good impression tomorrow.

Chu Chen planned to go directly to the city lord.

With her own strength and money, she should be able to get a military officer position. Once she gets rid of Ma Lao Er's family, Wang Guifang will be safe.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Chu Chen used his money to get two sets of clothes from the innkeeper, one of which he gave to Wang Guifang to change into.

He was wearing a short-sleeved outfit, which showed off the muscles on his arms. At first glance, it looked quite intimidating!

Seeing Wang Guifang dressed in new clothes, looking like a completely different person, Chu Chen couldn't help but grin like an idiot.

"Qingxuan, am I pretty?"

"Um...it looks good, it looks really good, but I have to go do something now, we'll talk about it tonight. You just stay in the inn and call the waiter if you need anything!"

After saying that, Chu Chen handed her two ten-tael silver ingots, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and went straight out the door.

After walking onto the main street of Shanba City and making a few inquiries, Chu Chen went directly to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw a large notice that said the city lord's youngest son was suffering from a long-term illness and urgently needed a ginseng root over a hundred years old or a martial arts expert to cure his illness, with a reward offered!

Upon seeing this news, Chu Chen felt much more at ease.

He thought to himself that he would probably be able to become an official very easily today.

"who?"

"The one who will deal with your young master."

Facing the officials at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, Chu Chen spoke confidently.

"Hmph, you're so young, yet you dare to impersonate..."

However, before the official could finish speaking, his hand was drawn to a heavy object.

He looked down and saw, good heavens, five taels in one go.

He immediately changed his expression: "Someone, bring this miraculous doctor from the mountains inside!"
