91 Chapter 91: The World’s Most Treacherous Official
However, the situation did not improve. There were no crop harvests from the fields, and many families ran out of food.
Then, the food prices rose, and a large-scale famine began.
Some people chose to go into town to find work, hoping to survive. Others could only wait for death at home.
He took Ye’er all the way to Mountain Spring Town and rushed into town before the city gates were closed.
!!
Then, he began to beg in the town.
In the end, Ye’er still died. He starved to death in his arms.
He thought that he would die too, but he didn’t. Instead, he was saved by the rebel army.
Yes, after winter, there was an outbreak of banditry in Mountain Spring Town.
The mountain bandits took in many refugees and attacked Mountain Spring Town. They almost slaughtered all the inhabitants in the villages around the town.
He had been saved by the bandits at that time, but the bandits did not have good intentions.
That disgusting thing actually had such filthy designs on him.
He had to risk his life to prevent that beast from succeeding.
Then, ten days later, while the great armies from the Imperial Court were attacking the town, he thought of a way to get rid of that bastard personally and made a contribution.
After that, he actually won the appreciation of the leading general and followed him back to the capital to become his aide.
Later, he began to take on a more prominent profile, and step by step, he became an existence that all the powerful and noble people in the capital feared.
Then much later, the world said that he had bewitched the king, killed the innocent, had a vicious heart, and was the most treacherous official in the world. Everyone had the right to punish him.
However, he didn’t care. In order to repay the kindness of his patron, he was willing to endure those curses.
Moreover, the first half of his life had been extremely insufferable. After gaining power, he only wanted to live a comfortable life. Why should he care about reputation?
After that, he died.
He was killed by the assassin who had revealed his identity, saying that he was the descendant of a loyal official who had been killed by him.
Anyway, he could not remember who it was.
When he died, he was actually not sad. On the contrary, he felt a sense of relief.
This was because, at that time, the Emperor, who he thought of as a close friend, reprimanded him.
In the Imperial Court, there were even people who listed a hundred of his crimes, trying to force the Emperor to punish him.
He knew that his retribution was coming.
In addition, he must have been poisoned during that period of time as he often dreamed of his parents, Yun’er and Ye’er.
They all told him that they missed him and hoped to reunite with him.
He thought that perhaps he could really reunite with his family after he died.
Thereafter, he was reborn.
In this life, his father had also passed away, but his mother, Yun’er and Ye’er were still alive.
His leg was also just injured.
The only difference from his previous life was that the woman didn’t die, and her temperament changed.
He had his suspicions. At first, he thought that the woman might have been reborn like him.
However, he later rejected this idea. After all, their personalities and knowledge were very different.
So, he was very certain that this woman had reincarnated in another body.
After these days of living together, he wasn’t afraid that the other party was some lost, wandering ghost.
Now that everyone was living under the same roof, he didn’t mind helping her out to tide over the next crisis.
As for what would happen after that, he would think about it when the time came…
Mr. Wang muttered to himself.
“300 taels… If it was in the east of the town, I’m afraid it would be difficult to find a good one. The courtyard dwellings in the other zones are cheaper. If you want a better courtyard dwelling, you’ll have a higher chance of finding one in the west of the town,” he said.
Many houses were built illegally in the west of the town. Many people outside the town rented houses there, which caused the environment there to be downgraded by a lot.
It was also because of this that courtyard dwellings in the west of the town cost less than in other places.
In the east of the town, most of the residents were rich families in town. The environment was better, and of course, the price of the courtyard dwelling was higher.
As for the south and north parts of the town, the closer they were to the center, the more expensive the courtyard dwelling was. If they go out further, the price would be reduced accordingly.
“Then we’ll go for west of the town,” Song Que said.
When the mountain bandits entered the town, their first targets were wealthy families.
It was not a good choice to live in the east of the town.
As for the north and south of the town, the minions of the mountain bandits had also caused quite a bit of trouble there.
On the contrary, the west of the town had the most poor people.
The mountain bandits realized they couldn’t find anything good, so they naturally didn’t bother to come back.
“Also, it’s best if the location is further away from the town center.” After thinking for a while, Song Que reminded him.
Mr. Wang was surprised.
He glanced at Song Que and reminded him, “300 taels should be enough to buy a place on the west side of the town, not too far from the town center.” He thought that Song Que was worried about not having enough money.
In his opinion, Song Que was a scholar, after all. If the conditions allowed it, they probably wouldn’t be willing to live next to the poor.
...
“We don’t need to be close to the town center. Just one or two streets away from the private residential areas will do,” Song Que said.
Seeing that Mr. Wang was about to speak again, Song Que said, “After all, I still have my living expenses after buying the courtyard dwelling. I don’t have anything on me, so I can only live within my means.”
Mr. Wang nodded and did not try to persuade him anymore.
“Alright. I’ll get someone to ask for you over the next two days. If there’s a suitable one…”
“You can inform my wife,” Song Que said.
When he said the word ‘wife,’ his expression was a little odd.
When Mr. Wang heard these words, he also looked at Song Que with a strange expression.
Seeing that his expression was normal, Mr. Wang quickly adjusted his own expression.
Just now, when they were outside, this Mr. Song seemed to be very disdainful of his wife, but now he referred to her as his wife so naturally.
Sigh! In the beginning, he also felt that when Mr. Song was matched with such a wife, it was a little…
However, after so many interactions, he found that Madam Qin was not entirely without her merits, with no redeeming features.
...
On the contrary, she was generous, witty, and full of kind words.
In addition, every time he saw her, she would be carrying things to sell on her shoulder. It was clear that she was a hardworking woman.
Unfortunately, she was far from being a good match for Mr. Song…
“Alright,” he said. Collecting his thoughts, Mr. Wang agreed to help in this matter.
Then, he began to discuss the details of the book deal with Song Que.
In the end, Song Que promised to hand in a book every two days.
Mr. Wang had to pay Song Que 50 taels of silver each time until the last book, for which he would be paid 40 taels.
After the two of them reached an agreement, Song Que did not leave immediately.
He stayed in the bookstore and began reading.
Meanwhile, after Qin Xiaoyao sent Song Que to the bookstore, she went back to look for Big Girl Li and Liu Daniu.
Then, she brought the two of them to Fortune Mansion to deliver the goods.
After the goods were delivered, Qin Xiaoyao asked the couple to make sure that they were able to buy their own handcarts.
She gave the couple the bamboo rat skins and some straw sandals and asked them to send these items to the grocery store. Then they were to deliver today’s allocation of straw sandals to Qin Dazhuang and Aunt Li.
After that, the two parties parted ways.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t dare to waste any more time. She quickly went to the market on South Street to sell straw sandals.
Her attractive husband was still waiting for her at Cirrus Loft Bookstore. After she had sold her straw sandals for the day, she still had to go pick him up.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t know if it was because she was too unlucky, but she realized that the more anxious she was to sell the straw sandals, the more unsuccessful she was.
Seeing that the number of people on the street had started to decrease, Qin Xiaoyao became anxious.
Finally, she reduced the price of the last dozen pairs of straw sandals.
The remaining straw sandals were quickly sold out at the price of seven copper coins for two pairs.
After selling off all the straw sandals, Qin Xiaoyao packed up and was ready to push the handcart away.
