The Beauty in the Peasant Family - C258

“Manager Hu, why are you here?”

In order to make travel more convenient, a few months ago, the Sunset Clouds Mountain had built a temporary stable with several horses and two carriages, under the watch of two coachmen. Thus, when Fu Xi went down the mountain, there was a carriage driver who took him directly to the northern suburbs to bring him back to Sunset Clouds Mountain.

It was just that Qin Wuya did not expect that not only did Fu Xi bring Liu Da, she even brought along the Manager Wu who was touring the northern suburbs to check on accounts.

Seeing Qin Wuya was surprised, the Manager Wu joked: “After a few months of not seeing you, you little girl have become even more lively. “If I don’t come soon, won’t that mean you’ve dug up everyone in the shop?”

“The shopkeeper must be joking, I have no other choice.” Qin Wuya rubbed her nose awkwardly: “I really can’t find anyone I can use right now, how about Manager Wu lend Liu Da to me for a year first?”

You really dare to speak, you have borrowed Liu Da for a year, there are over a hundred attendants of plant in the northern suburbs and you want me to take care of it, don’t tell me you want me to take care of it myself? Manager Wu was enraged by Qin Wuya.

Qin Wuya was also thick-skinned. Thinking that since sshe had already spoken, and did not intend to hide it, he simply laughed and said:

“Aren’t there two more under Liu Da’s command? They were all carefully selected by the Manager Wu.

“You’ve already planned it all out. Just wait for me to come and interrogate you.” Manager Wu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Just as the two of them were talking, Xu San’s men came in and told them that they had gathered in the empty land to the east.

“Let’s go, the shopkeeper wants me to go and take a look.” Qin Wuya greeted.

Manager Wu nodded and laughed: “Alright, then I’ll come and see what you are trying to do, little girl.”

“There are quite a few people here.” When they reached the empty area on the east side, Manager Wu saw that there were over a hundred people gathered densely in front of the two rows of cottages.

Qin Wuya gave a cursory glance and explained, “It’s not only these; The people who have gathered here today are all people who have come here at random, and they might not even be able to stay after the villa has been built. ” Qin Wuya explained.

“Build roads, build villas?” Manager Wu was stunned, then said with some surprise: “You bought the entire mountain?”

Qin Wuya nodded with a smile: “Sunset Clouds Mountain does not care about its territory, the land deed is in the hands of the town.

“Then do you have enough money? If you don’t have enough, I’ll give you some of this silver first?” The Manager Wu was probably more clear than Zhang Shan about the total amount of silver in Qin Wuya’s hands, hence he immediately thought of the crucial point.

“It should be enough for now. It should be able to last until next year’s spring.” After talking about this, Qin Wuya could not help but ask: “Shopkeeper, how’s your business this year?”

“I told you that you haven’t checked your account in some days.” Manager Wu smiled and said:

“Don’t worry, this year’s business is not bad. Let’s not talk about anything else, just tell me that you haven’t left a single jar of the more than one hundred jars of purple fruit sauce that you’ve delivered over the past few months.” In addition, this year, both the Bai Clan and the Duan Clan have sent in lists. Just this month’s specially-made Four Room Cake and Osmanthus Wine alone has brought out more than two thousand boxes. ”

Qin Wuya really did not care about the matters of the northern suburbs this year. Hearing that, her eyes lit up: “Does that mean I can earn quite a bit of red money annually?”

“Don’t worry, just the red money alone will bring you at least two thousand silver.”

As he spoke of entering into his account this year, Manager Wu’s face unconsciously flushed red. It had to be known that he had been in control of the Guest Home Resturant for more than ten years. Even if his business was doing well, he would only earn a few hundred silver taels every year.

“Madam, apart from the workers at the North Mountain and the brothers at the Tang Dynasty, all the other farmers on the mountain are gathered here.” Seeing Qin Wuya had arrived, Xu San welcomed him.

Qin Wuya nodded and followed Xu Sanguan to the front of the crowd. Seeing that the hundred or so people in front of them had turned into a chaotic mess, she casually took a bronze gong from a subordinate behind Xu San and knocked it three times.

“The reason why I gathered everyone together today is because something happened yesterday night. As for what happened, everyone has heard some rumors. ”

After he finished speaking, Qin Wuya’s voice paused for a moment, he sized up the crowd’s expressions and said: “I know, a few days ago there was a rumor circulating amongst you guys that a gold mine was excavated from the Sunset Clouds Mountain, and the mine entrance is at the northern hill.

Last night, two of you sneaked into the north mountain entrance and fell into a pit. One of you broke a rib in your chest, while the other broke your left hand. ”

“What, two of them went yesterday?” Didn’t you say that there’s only one? ”

“Do you all know who went there?”

“I know, I know, it’s Number Two’s Sixth Son and Zhao Gouzi.”

“How did he say he fell into a pit? I heard that he was beaten up by the patrolling guards this morning.”

“Who knows? It is because he was beaten up by the patrolling men. It is rare for him to make it even more obvious.”

Seeing that before he could finish, the people in front of him had started talking again, Qin Wuya could not help but frown.

However, Qin Wuya did not stop them this time, she only kept his mouth shut, waiting for them to explain, to see how long they could last.

Sure enough, not long after, the sounds of discussion turned from the original few lines to dozens of lines. As the discussions went on, from a few dozen lines to a few sentences, the voices went from low to high, from high to bustling.

After approximately the time it took for an incense to burn, only a few people with lively eyes noticed the ugly expression on Qin Wuya’s face, and tactfully closed their mouths.

Qin Wuya waited patiently for the time it took for an incense stick to burn before the entire crowd quietened down once again.

Only this time, everyone’s faces were filled with caution.

Thinking about the reason why these people suddenly became so cautious, the corner of Qin Wuya’s mouth twitched. In her heart, she finally understood what it meant to have three people become tigers and how terrifying the rumors were.

In the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, the two unfortunate fellows who fell into the pit yesterday had already become four people, according to many people’s rumors.

From a broken rib to three ribs, the other left hand became a broken hand and a broken foot. Of course, it was said that the other one was buried alive in a hole.

Although this kind of plot sounded like something that should be done in a dark society, Qin Wuya still felt that it was a bit incompetent when this dark society who was rumored to kill without batting an eyelid turned into him.

Now, Qin Wuya finally started to understand why just by digging a path a while ago, one could hear rumors that a gold mine had been dug out from the ground. With their rich imagination, even if Bei Shan were to dig out a zombie in a few days, Qin Wuya would probably not be surprised.

“You’re done?” Qin Wuya chuckled as she looked at the expressions of the crowd, and said: “Since you’re all done, let me do it now.

In addition, before I speak, I have to make one point in advance. I have an ordinary temperament and especially don’t like people interrupting me while I’m speaking. Of course, if you have any ideas you can share, but first you have to wait for me to finish. ”

Looking at the silent crowd with satisfaction, Qin Wuya nodded her head and said, “There are a total of three points, which are the three questions you just discussed.

Firstly, your greatest concern is whether or not the Sunset Clouds Mountain below you has actually dug out a gold mine. As for the identity of the owner of the entire Sunset Clouds Mountain, I can tell you this right now. There is neither gold nor silver mine below the mountain.

Just this point was something that the Shangguan Family sent someone to check before I accepted the Sunset Clouds Mountain. If there really is a mine, then forget about a gold mine, even a copper ore wouldn’t be in my hands.

I know you won’t believe me when I say this, but of course, it doesn’t matter. Didn’t you say that the North Mountain was just a mine? “Anyone who doesn’t believe me can follow me to the North Mountain and see if there is a mine entrance. If there really is one, everything will belong to you. I definitely won’t stop you.”

Qin Wuya laughed as she spoke: “Actually, the rumors about this gold mine, as your family members, I only heard about it today. Not to mention how curious all of you are, even I am extremely curious.

Why don’t we take advantage of the time when the big guys are gathered together to ask who the first person who spread the news is? ”

Seeing that everyone had heard what he said and looked at each other, who looked at each other, not daring to take the first step forward, Qin Wuya chuckled. He stood in front of the tall man in the lead and asked: “You’re the first one to pass on the message?”

“No …” “It’s not me!” The tall man shook his head in panic.

“I don’t believe you.” Qin Wuya smiled and nodded, then asked: “Then who’s the person you told me about?”

“Large… Everyone is talking about it. ” He didn’t know if this tall man was stuttering or not, but this sentence was completed after a long time.

Qin Wuya was not in a hurry either, and only after he had finished speaking did she leisurely continue to ask. “Then, do you remember who the first person who spoke those words to you was?”

“Yes …” “It’s Shitou ge.” The tall man avoided Qin Wuya’s line of sight and said with a red face.

Qin Wuya laughed: “Then, which one is Shitou ge, show me.”

Seeing the tall man remain silent, Qin Wuya said: “Don’t worry, I am not going to make things difficult for him, I just want to ask him a few questions.”

“Then… That’s the one. ”

The tall man shook his hand. After a long while, he pointed to a slightly older middle-aged man among the crowd with a panicked expression.

The middle-aged man was already frightened when he heard that someone had given him up. When the tall man pointed a finger at him, he became so nervous that his entire face paled. It really wasn’t me. Don’t kill me. ”

Qin Wuya became big as she forced a smile: “Don’t worry, I’m not a bandit. “Speak, since it’s not you, then where did you hear this news from?”

“It’s Bighead, the one Bighead told me about. Not only did he tell me, he also told many others. ” It was clear that this middle aged man called Stone was even more timid than the tall man in front. He did not even need to ask Qin Wuya and explained everything at once.
