V3.Chapter 56 (1/2)
…… After Caoya left, Wei Changying and Shen zangfeng looked at the ginseng that she left. In order to preserve it, there was a lot of soil left on the roots, but we could see that it was almost human.
”Is there such a good thing in Mengshan?” Wei Changying sniffed the fragrant ginseng and murmured, ”when I was in the capital of the emperor, I remember at least seven or eight hundred liang of silver for such a ginseng?”
”It's said that Cao family castle is a place where refugees live together, but it's just a place where people live in a muddle.” Shen zangfeng said thoughtfully, ”now it seems that the world is biased. Mengshan is rich in natural resources. Cao family castle is based on a long history, but such natural materials and treasures can be found nearby... ”
At the same time, the couple thought of caojiapu's collusion with Mengshan gang in the neighboring county. Previously, they thought that the Mengshan gang did not have a good place. Even if caojiapu had a relationship with them, there was not much money and salt to buy. Now when I see this ginseng, I can't help but think that if Cao family castle can often dig similar ones, then
Even though it is certain that it can't be compared with the price sold in the capital city, it's OK to offset two or three hundred Liang silver with this kind of ginseng. The people of the Mengshan sect are more sinister. However, since Lai Dayong has been able to develop in Guanzhou for a long time, he must know the truth that he can't dry up and fish.
According to the average price of private salt Both of them have a deep heart.
Mengshan Gang not only sells private salt, but also acts as bandits. Then weapons like swords and guns, and all things needed for rebellion
Silence for a moment, Shen Zang Feng picked up the ginseng and said, ”first give it to me, then show it to you Jia.”
But Shen Youjia was called to see the ginseng and heard about its origin, but he was surprised and said: ”three uncles don't think that the ginseng was really dug up by the people of Cao family castle?”
Shen Cangfeng said in surprise, ”isn't it?”
”If the ginseng has been washed clean and dried, my nephew may not recognize it.” Shen Youjia shook his head, pointed to the root and said, ”but it's still fresh now, but he can't hide it from my nephew's eyes. The soil that was dug out here is the unique mud color of Guanzhou Mi County! This is not mud near caojiapu! ”
He added, ”when Cao family castle was founded, it was not without the idea of nearby Chinese herbal medicines. Over the years, what can be dug has been dug out! It's absolutely impossible to leave such a reference! ”
Shen Cangfeng was surprised: ”according to your idea, this ginseng was sent to Cao's castle by Mengshan Gang?” It can't be so coincidental. People from caojiabao run to Guanzhou Mi County and just dig this ginseng. They can bring it back to caojiabao safely, and then send it to Xiliang from muchunmian?
It must be the first month for the people of Mengshan Gang to get close to the water!
”Or caojiabao bought it from Mengshan gang.” Shen Youjia said to himself, ”but it's more likely that the third uncle will guess, because my nephew really can't figure out how to buy such a ginseng in the situation of caojiapu?”
Shen zangfeng shook his head and said, ”do you forget that your three aunts only gave them three thousand liang of gold a few days ago?”
”But what do you mean by the three uncles and aunts?” Shen Youjia asked, ”there is the sentiment of Duanmu family miss. They don't have to give gifts to three uncles and three aunts, and three uncles and three aunts won't treat them badly. What's more, although such a reference is good, it's just a good word for the third uncle and the third aunt. It's far from grateful. So my nephew thinks it's true that there's a rumor that Lai Dayong, the leader of Mengshan sect, and the current Wooden Castle leader of Cao family castle have private affairs. Maybe Lai Dayong knew that Ji Gu, the father of Wooden Castle leader, was in Xiliang city to mend his wounds. He was especially filial to please his future father-in-law! ”
He said again, ”it's just that Ji Gu broke his leg, not hurt his vitality. I don't need such a good participant. She simply sent her granddaughter to mingpeitang, which is also a way of doing business. ”
Shen zangfeng thought for a moment, but smiled and said, ”You Jia, who are you forgetting about Ji Gu?”
Not to be answered by Shen Youjia, Shen Cangfeng has replied, ”he is the uncle of jishenyi. He was able to escape to caojiapu, even hide his name and control caojiapu secretly these years. All of these rely on the first-hand excellent medical skills handed down from Jijia! He has been in caojiapu for decades, and his daughter and granddaughter have both. I can't tell whether the ginseng is from caojiapu or Guanzhou, but since you know it, can Jigu not? ”
Shen Youjia's mind flashed and said: ”three uncles mean...?”
”You've always wanted to recruit Lai Dayong, but you've been stumbling over him before. Now it seems that he also has the heart to run No, I'm tempted by this ginseng. ” Shen Cangfeng smiled lightly and said, ”tomorrow you can send someone to Jiyuan to ask Jigu about the digger. I think he will know what you mean.”
Shen Yujia sighed and said, ”my nephew thinks it's better for him to send people to Ming Pei hall. Lai Dayong asked the young Castle master of Cao family castle to give it to his uncle and aunt, but he didn't give it to my nephew. Obviously, this heart of defection is for my uncle. I'm afraid Lai Dayong is suspicious!”
Shen zangfeng tapped on the edge of the case, and after a moment's concentration, he said, ”I didn't ask about it last time, the Mengshan Gang?”
