Chapter 249: You can’t pay taxes by bragging anyway
"My lord, do you mean that the poison was administered by those dead soldiers who escaped?"
Duan Qingshan frowned slightly: "But..." He looked around: "Nothing in the kitchen has any trace of being moved."
"If they were really those who escaped, how could they have done it, unknowingly, and put the poison in under our noses?"
Duan Qingshan carefully recalled what happened from getting up early, preparing breakfast, to waiting for Jiang Aning to get up and wait for people to wash up. He was very sure that he did not hear any abnormal sounds.
"Since they are said to be dead soldiers, wouldn't it be reasonable to know a little bit about the magic of shielding?"
Jiang Anning didn't think there was anything surprising.
Although, she couldn't figure out the reason.
I don't know how the other party did it. They used poison under their noses, but they didn't know it, leaving them clueless.
But when she thought about her previous life, because she couldn't bear the humiliation and was unwilling to endure the Zhao family's endless schemes, deceit, humiliation, oppression, and critical injuries, and the reconciliation was fruitless, she became angry and poisoned, wanting to die with the Zhao family. As a result, she clearly confirmed every time that a sufficient amount of arsenic, poisonous mushroom powder, etc. was administered.
Enough to kill ten pigs! !
As a result, when it was actually served, she discovered that those meals were not the food she had drugged at all.
But unfortunately, those meals were exactly the same as those she prepared.
Can't tell any difference at all.
After several times in succession, she even suspected that she was hallucinating, her memory was confused, and she had not succeeded in poisoning at all.
It was all just her fantasy.
Until one day, she didn't believe in evil, so she poisoned her again, and she kept a careful eye on it, and secretly marked all the dishes in her own way.
At first, she even laughed at her own paranoia.
I feel like she is a bit paranoid about being persecuted.
She is just an ordinary country girl.
The one who deserves it is the one who goes to great lengths to plot against her.
But when the replaced meal was served again, she finally realized that it wasn't that she thought too much.
But someone really, without her knowledge, subtly replaced the food she had been drugged with with food that had not been drugged.
The Zhao family is safe and sound as a result.
But she went crazy.
She had never been as filled with despair as she was at that moment.
Later, she accepted her fate.
Now think about it again, aren't these two things exactly the same? -
Jiangjia Village.
Jiang Qingqing inquired all the way and finally found this place.
Just as he was about to go inside, two large nets came over him.
"Damn it! Who is it! Who is it! Let me down quickly!"
The villagers standing in the dark looked at each other with blank expressions.
"Could it be that we arrested the wrong person?"
"What he just said was my uncle...could it be someone's uncle in our village?"
"Looking at this outfit, it certainly doesn't look like someone who escaped from famine... but rather looks like a young master from a wealthy family!"
"It's broken! Don't catch it by mistake!"
A group of people hurriedly ran out and put the person down.
Jiang Qingqing thought she had entered some bandit's den, and couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for herself. She scolded Jiang Anning nine hundred and ninety-nine times.
She was too frightened to speak.
Until she realized that everyone was very flattering and polite to her, and even tried to test her identity in their words, inquiring about her family's strength.
Jiang Qingqing thought about it for a moment and realized it instantly.
No wonder that woman, let her pretend to be as arrogant and domineering as possible. It is best to show off her wealth and show her wealth.
Co-author, this village is full of snobbish people who are obsessed with money.
She instantly felt emboldened, put her hands on her hips, and cursed loudly.
"I said you are all blind, right? You dare to catch even me, my eyes are in my buttocks, right?"
"Do you know who I am?"
Several people in the village who were responsible for intercepting the refugees suddenly became interested and asked in unison: "Who is it?"
"Say it and scare you to death!"
Jiang sneered a few times: "Young master, I come from a wealthy family, and I have been sitting on a mountain of gold and silver since I was born."
“We have so much money at home that we can’t even spend it all!”
"Usually, when our local county magistrate sees me, he has to respectfully call me young master."
When several people heard this, their eyes suddenly glowed green.
He was even thinking about how much money he could get if he just kidnapped someone.
However, kidnapping another person is illegal.
They only dare to think about it in their hearts, but they don't want to make money that they have their lives to take but not their lives to spend.
He just couldn't help but tease people unscrupulously: "Huh? It turns out he is the eldest son of a wealthy family!"
"Brother Fu is so rich, can you give me fifty taels?"
"Yes, yes, give each of us fifty taels to see our strength."
Several people were yelling at each other, clamoring for Jiang Qingqing to give them fifty taels.
"Don't just talk, take out fifty taels first and let us see our strength."
"Could it be that you can't even get out fifty taels? Are you just bragging?"
"It must have been blown..."
Just when a few people started to ridicule Jiang Qingqing for pretending to have no money, Jiang Qingqing rolled her eyes and actually took out a bag of silver melon seeds and grabbed a large handful of them generously.
"It's not a problem to give you fifty taels."
Jiang Qingqing moved her fingers gently, and a handful of silver melon seeds fell out from between her fingers.
Several people's eyes instantly shone, and they scrambled to grab it.
Jiang Qingqing raised his foot like a monkey and stepped lightly on one of the people's heads, stopping the person from snatching the silver melon seeds.
"It's just that you have to make sure that my fifty taels of silver are spent with some value, right? After all, my silver didn't come from the strong wind."
Everyone looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
"If you have any requests, just ask and we will definitely handle them for you."
A few people were like lapdogs, with faces full of fawning.
Jiang hummed lightly and gave them the silver melon seeds in his hand very casually.
"Some gadgets are not worth much money, so I will give them to you to play with."
She waved her hand with great wealth, and several people were so happy that they wished they could immediately invite the living God of Wealth in front of them back to their home to worship her.
"I also heard that the mountains and rivers here are good and the scenery is beautiful. But as I walked around, I almost lost my way, and I really couldn't see any good or beautiful places."
Jiang Qingqing was very disgusted and said: "But I can't come here in vain, young master. It's better to take me around here."
"If there's anything delicious or fun, just introduce it to me."
"If I have fun, the benefits will inevitably come from you."
Several people immediately promised: "No problem! Leave this matter to our brothers, we will definitely handle it for you, just be fine!"
Jiang Qingqing said "Yeah" proudly.
She followed the people into the village, and not long after, she saw the family Jiang Anning asked her to find. As if she suddenly became interested, she pointed to Jiang Anning's house: "Where is that?"
“It’s quite exquisite and beautiful.”
“I never expected that such a leisurely and elegant place could be found in such a remote and remote place.”
"Whose house is that?"
"How much does it cost to sell it? I bought it, sir!"
He opened his mouth with an aura that was not short of money, but it made the others so angry that they all cursed Jiang Anning angrily.
What is an orphan girl with no father or mother doing to build such a nice house with nothing to do?
Otherwise, wouldn't they have the opportunity to sell the house to this fool?
What bad luck!
Several people were filled with resentment, but they had to put on a smile and said casually and perfunctorily: "That's a foreigner in our village."
He also maliciously slandered: "This house is indeed well repaired, but she is really not an easy person to get along with."
"Oh!"
Jiang Qingqing responded nonchalantly and turned her gaze to the Zhao family next to her.
"Where is that place? What does it do? It seems very lively."
With that said, he walked over there.
Several people wanted to stop him, but they were too late. They could only speed up their pace and catch up.
"Stop! What are you doing!"
Jiang Qingqing was stopped just as she approached Zhao's house.
She glanced at the person chasing after her from the corner of her eye and made a quick decision.
"Brother, please be accommodating. I'm here to buy silkworm cocoons. I can take as much as I want."
She lowered her voice, and when those people caught up with her, she stuffed a handful of silver melon seeds into someone's mouth and said, "Just think of these as ticket money."
"If it's not enough, I still have some here."
Those people's eyes turned red with envy when they saw such a handful of silver melon seeds being stuffed into the hands of the nurses hired by Jiang Anning.
"Master, there's nothing to see here, we might as well go elsewhere."
"Yes, come and sit at my house. I have..."
Jiang Qingqing didn't wait for them to finish speaking, and interrupted impatiently: "I just think it's pretty good here."
"What? Do you all raise silkworms at home?"
Several people were asked and were momentarily speechless.
In my heart, I was even more angry with Jiang Anning.
Do they not want to raise silkworms at home?
It's not because that bitch Jiang Anning didn't give them such a chance at all!
If only she were more generous and gave the two hundred taels of silver to them, instead of eating alone and raising silkworms at home, but was unwilling to share a piece of their pie, how could they Missed the opportunity?
Jiang Qingqing was about to pretend to be more generous when her eyes fell on the colorful silk in the courtyard, and her eyes widened instantly.
The two Sang brothers just thought it was the villagers again, trying to take advantage of them, so they ignored them.
Concentrate on the task at hand.
Cut off the cocoon.
They were lucky this time. The family had tried many times before to successfully raise five-color silkworms, but this time they were very lucky and successfully raised some.
"Your silk looks like a rainbow, with so many colors."
"Is it dyed?"
"This is so beautiful and amazing, isn't it?"
Jiang Qingqing's voice finally caused the two Sang brothers to look up and asked Jiang Qingqing in shock: "Who are you?"
Immediately, they looked at the nursing home invited by Jiang Anning and the villagers who came uninvited.
Question: "How did they get in?"
Jiang Qingqing also looked at the nursery nervously.
She wasn't sure if the hint just now made sense.
I don't even know if that woman has any quarrel with the people here... Especially if she hasn't said anything, these people have no idea what she is here for.
"This girl introduced me to buy silkworm cocoons."
Fortunately, the nursing home knew the news in advance.
The Sang brothers also understood immediately.
Jiang Anning had said before that they should just raise silkworms and collect as many cocoons as possible.
When the time comes, people will naturally come to buy it.
And...
The eyes of the two Sang brothers fell on the villagers who were following them.
I felt sad inside.
Moreover, Jiang Anning had specifically stated that when selling silkworm cocoons, everyone in the village must see it.
It seems that the nets have already been lowered and fishing has begun!
“It turned out that I was buying silkworm cocoons!”
"Please take a seat, please take a seat."
Sang Nanshan warmly greeted people to sit down. He asked very pretentiously: "I wonder how many cocoons this boss wants to buy? Do you have a budget in mind?"
"As many as I want!"
Jiang Qingqing waved his hand, showing off his wealth to the fullest: "These are the deposits!"
She simply threw the bag of silver melon seeds to the two Sang brothers.
But the villagers who were watching from the side were so greedy that they wanted to pounce on it immediately and snatch it away.
"Especially your colorful cocoons, I want as many as you have."
"Young Master, I lack everything except money!"
The two brothers of the Sang family looked at each other, and both showed tangled expressions, saying, "I don't know what this boss wants to do with these cocoons?"
"To be honest, the price you gave is already somewhat more than the value of the cocoon itself..."
"More than?"
Jiang Qing waved his hand and interrupted the person's speech: "In my opinion, even if it is doubled...no, twice the price, it is not an exaggeration at all!"
"Such a good thing may not be very eye-catching here, and in ordinary times, it is not sold at a high price."
"But my dear, can I be like ordinary people like you?"
"Things that you can't sell or can't sell for a big price are sold at several times the price here, and the supply is still in short supply."
The villagers nearby couldn't help but curiously asked: "I don't know what kind of business you are doing? Is that thing really so easy to sell?"
"Natural!"
Jiang Qingqing boasted without blushing: "Master, my family is a boat owner, and I do overseas business."
"In other words, if we take the things we have here and buy them outside, I can't even imagine how popular they will be, such as colorful silkworm cocoons."
"Usually just a handkerchief with exquisite embroidery can be sold for three to five taels of silver."
"If this is the kind of veil that will change colors at any time if you look at it in the sun, like a rainbow... Even if the price increases ten times, you won't have to worry about selling it."
Jiang Qing looked at the few people, and was stunned by her, and she boasted more and more.
Anyway, there is no tax for bragging.
