Chapter 291 1
Boss Zhang was unmoved by the offer of one thousand taels, so he could only grit his teeth and increase the amount. In the end, he shouted out ten thousand taels with a painful feeling.
Only then did Xia Wanniang nod gently.
The constable walked to the side of the carriage and stretched out his hand to Boss Zhang: "Silver."
Boss Zhang was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "I didn't bring so much money when I went out."
The head of the farm was immediately unhappy: "In that case, Boss Zhang should take the silver first."
Boss Zhang had no choice but to ask someone to go to a nearby bank to get 10,000 taels of silver notes, and handed them to the head of the farm. He gritted his teeth and said, "Is it okay now?"
The head of the farm police calmly counted the banknotes, confirmed the quantity and authenticity, and then put them in his pocket. He smiled at Yin Yuanxun and others behind him and said, "Brothers, get to work. Finish early so we can have a good meal."
"okay!"
Xia Wanniang also reminded: "Everyone, please remember to put them in a bag and don't let them run out again."
Yin Yuanxun and the others smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Madam, for reminding me."
Without saying a word, Captain Nong and his men went into the Yixiu Pavilion first, took out the cloth bags they had made, gave one to each person, and started working.
Boss Zhang's teeth were almost broken when he looked at Xia Wanniang's smiling face.
Guo frowned: "Madam San Shao, it seems that Boss Zhang holds a grudge against you."
Xia Wanniang shrugged indifferently: "He has been holding a grudge against me for a long time. You should be careful when you go out in the future, and try not to be alone."
Guo nodded: "We will be careful, but we are afraid that his target is you."
Xia Wanniang curled her lips and smiled: "It's okay, just take care of yourselves."
There were constant noises in the Yixiu Pavilion. Xia Wanniang stretched her head to look, only to see that Captain Nong and his men had bad intentions.
This perfectly good shop looked as if it had been robbed, and someone even went so far as to call it an act to completely eliminate hidden dangers.
Boss Zhang is now furious, but he dares not say anything. He dare not offend the yamen runners, let alone the city guards. It would be really troublesome if they made things difficult for him in the future.
He could only shift the blame to Xia Wanniang. It was this woman who was talking nonsense. Otherwise, why would the surrounding shops embarrass him together?
Xia Wanniang didn't care what he was thinking now. She turned to look at Diao Yongfu and Yang Ping and said, "Go and help me with something."
"Madam San Shao, please give your instructions."
Xia Wanniang took out a handful of copper coins and silver coins and handed them to the two of them: "You should quietly leave through the back door. No matter what method you use, spread the news of what happened in Yixiu Pavilion today. It would be best if everyone knows about it."
Diao Yongfu and Yang Ping took the silver, turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Xia Wanniang watched Yin Yuanxun and the others come out. Each of them had a bulging bag in their hands, and the animals inside were still moving around.
Constable Nong looked at Boss Zhang with an unhappy expression and said, "Many of my men are injured. I have to ask a doctor to take a look. I will have someone send the money for the medicine to Boss Zhang later." After saying that, he left with his men.
Boss Zhang couldn't catch his breath, his body leaned back and he fainted.
When Yin Yuanxun left, he nodded to her as a greeting.
Seeing that there was nothing to watch, Xia Wanniang turned to look at the people who had not yet come to their senses: "If you wake up, go clean up the backyard. Then we will start rehearsing the first puppet show. There were also some problems with the tea we brewed yesterday. I will teach you again later."
Qiu He and the others immediately started to move, doing what they should do, dealing with things in the backyard as quickly as possible, and then coming to the store.
Chai Song walked up to her and said, "Madam, let's rehearse the puppet show first." Then he handed her a list.
Xia Wanniang looked at the list in her hand, which had five puppet shows on it: "Have you memorized all of these?"
Chai Song nodded: "I have memorized them all, but I have never worked with the musicians, so I don't know how effective they will be."
"Miss Wan."
When Xia Wanniang heard the voice, she turned around and saw Aunt Xiao and Jiao coming together: "Mother, why are you here together?"
Aunt Xiao was holding a bundle in her hand: "I just happened to meet you at the street corner. Why is there no one on this street today?"
