Chapter 9 (1/2)

No matter what he wants, Bai junzhuo, who has been forced into a desperate situation, seems to have to give it a try.

Bai junzhuo pondered whether he should make the so-called ”trade” with this man. On the other side, Liu Shun has already taken out all the precious ginseng that have been pressed in the medicine hall for several years and has given it to Mo Ying: ”childe, there are 418 taels of silver in total.”

Mo Ying took out a 500 Liang silver note and handed it to Liu Shun: ”don't look for it. The rest is for the master to reward you.”

Liu Shun was stunned for a moment and looked embarrassed, but he still picked up the silver note.

Mo Ying took ginseng and said to his master, ”master, everything has been bought. Shall we go to see Mr. Ma now?”

The man didn't answer. He just stared at Bai junzhuo. After a while, he didn't see what she said. Then he nodded with regret and went out with Mo Ying.

After seeing two people go out, Bai junhuo seems to suddenly come back to his senses. He goes to the desk and picks up a pen and paper to write something.

Out of the medicine hall, Mo Ying couldn't help saying, ”master, Miss Bai doesn't seem to want to ask for your advice. Are we...”

”If this batch of medicinal materials can not be handed in, all the people in the Bai family will be killed.” The man looked calm and said, with a ready look.

”Yes, Miss Bai must have never thought that it was the master who had the medicine withheld.”

The man listened and laughed and said, ”I'm so obvious that she doesn't doubt me, but even if she doubts me, now she has no other way but to ask me.”

”Master is wise,” Mo Ying praised, ”but there is one thing I don't understand. Why didn't master directly catch Miss Bai and ask her to hand over what master wants?”

The man did not answer him, but asked, ”can we find out the whereabouts of Zou?”

Mo Ying nodded, ”everything is as expected.”
