Chapter 5 The bloody case caused by a few curtains

The sun always sets fast in winter, especially in the Tang Dynasty, which has no entertainment facilities.

Just as Wang Ye and Wang Yu were staring at the afternoon sunset, Jingyang County was in a daze due to the arrival of several curtains.

Speaking of Zhang Qi, he happily carried a few curtains and ran to Jingyang County. He couldn't run away. He was fine and his credit was gone. In the future, there would be no such good things on his own. The ancients still believed in benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness.

When this young man arrived in Jingyang with a cart, the sun was still scorching, and it was the warmest time of the day. Zhangjiagou was only seven or eight miles away from Jingyang.

But as soon as he stepped into Jingyang and had not lifted his back, Zhang Qi regretted that there were so many good things, and the key was to sell them to. He originally thought that it was simple to make favors, but if he sold them to the Zhang family but not the Li family, he would easily offend people.

"No, I have to sell it secretly, otherwise it will be more than worth the money in the end." Zhang Qi thought for a while, intending to find a back door and notify the housekeeper to receive the goods. Although he could not bargain for only one of them, he made a favour.

Unfortunately, people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Zhang Qi's ox cart has no cover, and these curtains are exposed in broad daylight. The first person to discover is a teenage maid who happened to be with her lady by the ox cart.

"Oh, Miss, look at the cloth in the car, it's so beautiful." The little girl shouted to the lady walking away from her face without a mouth.

"I'll go, mom, I'm going to be killed by this girl." Zhang Qi was so angry that he was shouted like this. At least five or six ladies looked back. Just like modern times, you can try shouting a beautiful girl on the street.

The curtains on the ox cart shine brightly in the sun, as if they can glow, and the patterns on the curtains are also clearly visible. This is even more amazing. No matter which lady is from the family, she will rush up and marvel around the ox cart.

"Wow, what a shame, is this Su Jin or Shu Jin?"

"It's not like it. I feel like I came from the palace. I saw such a beautiful cloth last time I went to Chang'an."

"You little husband, you don't know how to cherish it. How can you tie it so casually? You don't have to worry about breaking the good cloth."

“That’s it.”

Zhang Qi looked sobbing and tears. If you saw the king thrown it directly to the ground, you probably wouldn't say that.

"Can you please give me some advice so that I can rush to get on the road as soon as possible?" Zhang Qi asked tentatively.

"Oh, where are you going? It doesn't seem like you are going to Chang'an City in this direction, but you plan to sell this cloth?" One of the ladies is about fifteen years old and is quite beautiful. He greeted Zhang Qi politely.

"Miss is right. My cloth and my cloth have been made an appointment with the butler of the Liu family. I have to send it to someone as soon as possible." Zhang Qi had no choice but to move out the magistrate of Liu County, Jingyang County, hoping that these ladies could retreat in the face of the difficulties.

"Oh, County Magistrate Liu's home?" Another lady confirmed with excitement when she heard Zhang Qi's answer.

"Yeah, that's right, it's the Liu County Magistrate's house. I'll ask a few ladies to give in. I'm going to have to hurry." Zhang Qi felt that he was scared and quickly spoke.

"Okay, okay, I will guide you in person today and walk through the main entrance, hehe." The lady's face became even more excited when she heard Zhang Qi's reply.

"This is the daughter of the magistrate Liu County, Miss Liu Lingling, the little man hasn't come back to my house with my lady." The maid next to him hurriedly urged, even more anxious than Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qiyi heard that it was so amazing that he met the real owner, but when he saw this attitude, he should be able to escape.

"Slowly, the cloth of Xiaolangjun has been sold to the Liu family?" asked the lady who spoke first.

"My lady is the daughter of County Magistrate Cui. It is best for the little husband to think clearly before answering." The little girl next to Miss Cui hurried over and said something threatening.

Everyone knows that the aristocratic families of this era occupy half of the country, and the Cui family is ranked first among the five surnames. This Miss Cui obviously comes from the Cui family, and even a branch is not something that a small vendor can afford.

"Uh, hehe, the little lady laughed. There is no negotiation yet." Zhang Qi could only explain truthfully with a bitter face.

"Hmph, you just said that this cloth was going to be sent to my Liu Mansion, why did you go back on your word?" The lady of the Liu family hurriedly scolded.

"Forgive me, my wife. Just because I met Mr. Liu and I got these good goods again today, I thought of selling them to the Liu Mansion. I was not deliberately talking about the Liu Mansion." Zhang Qi quickly explained with a bitter face.

"Okay, some cloths are the most expensive, right? Lingling?" Miss Cui touched the silky curtains and said to Liu Lingling without raising her head.

"Hmph, who doesn't know that the Cui family has more money, and the higher the price will be, it would be strange if I can beat you." Miss Liu replied with anger, obviously she was straight and had something to say.

"Haha, what do you think of? This cloth is only two sets of clothes, just one set to wear on New Year's Eve and one set to wear on the Chinese New Year's Day. Why would Lingling want to let me do it?" Miss Cui smiled and looked up at Liu Lingling and asked.

"No, I want this cloth too, but we can compare the method and not compare the money. We compete. The day before yesterday, you and I bought a Kunlun slave. Why don't you let them fight? Whoever wins will win? How about it?" Liu Lingling said provocatively.

"Okay, then let's compete. Let's meet at the market towers, hum." Miss Cui clapped her hands, turned her head and ordered to the maid.

"Young man, you have seen it too, just pull this cloth and follow us." The maid next to him instructed Zhang Qi.

"Ah, okay, okay." Zhang Qi really had no choice now, and the duel came out.

It’s not that the man of Tang is very proud of his face, and the county magistrate and the county magistrate are like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and even their children are fighting all the time.

There is a local platform in Jingyang Market, which is usually a place to sell goods, but today there are only two unlucky Kunlun slaves.

"You two fight, whoever wins this roasted lamb will belong to whoever wins this roasted lamb." The entourage on the side shouted at the two on the stage, pointing at the roasted lamb that was sizzling.

Miss Cui and Liu Lingling stood in the audience. Between them were Zhang Qi and his ox carts. Of course, the curtains were neatly stacked together, and there was a basket of copper coins on the ox cart at this time, which was the money to buy cloth, and the two families each paid 100 cents.

Zhang Qi was extremely confused at this time. In fact, he could leave because he had already obtained the money, but who would have thought that the two ladies would insist on him as witnesses to make notarization? Well, you are all ladies, you are awesome.

The Kunlun slaves on the stage have started fighting each other, without weapons, and have used their nails and teeth. You bite my ears and I pull your hair. The dirt platform is covered with low blood, and the scalp with flesh, half of the bitten ear; the dirt platform is praised from time to time, as if this bloody battle is just a remedy for ordinary life.

Finally, Miss Cui was satisfied and asked the servant to walk back with the cloth. Miss Liu glared at Zhang Qi with resentment, and after Zhang Qi repeatedly promised that she would sell her such good cloth next time she found it.
