Chapter 324 Flower Hibiscus

After having dinner in the inn and resting for an afternoon, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng changed into simple clothes and went out.

Lumei and Luyi also left the inn carrying small bags. They had just received a prize and were both very wealthy, so of course they went out to shop and buy some local specialties for their good sisters.

Long Er sat in front of the window, watching the two little girls happily go to the street, and slowly drank a sip of tea.

Long Sanqi was leaning on the low couch, holding a book called "The Pampered and Beautiful Little Concubine" and reading it with great interest. Long Er turned around and saw the title of the book on the cover, and the veins on his forehead jumped.

Why are you interested in this kind of book again? Didn't the Emperor tell me not to read it? He said it would lead His Majesty astray.

Long Er picked up a dried fruit and threw it over, "Why are you reading this kind of book again? Didn't the Emperor say that you can't read it? It will lead His Majesty astray."

Long Sanqi curled her lips, she didn't understand.

This style of script must have come from His Majesty's hands. Why is the Emperor only staring at them?

"It would be a waste if I don't read such a wonderful book. I won't read it in front of the Emperor and His Majesty."

Long Sanqi turned over and stared at the book without blinking.

Long Er shook his head helplessly and continued to sip his tea.

……

……

There is a special flower market in Qionghua City, which is full of flower shops selling all kinds of flowers.

Pan Yingying walked and looked along the way, and her ears were filled with the "ding" and "ding" sounds of the system.

After hearing the price reported by the system, she took Yu Chaosheng into a shop specializing in rare flowers.

After asking the price and paying the deposit, he left Yu Chaosheng in the store to drink scented tea while he went to an empty back alley not far away and released a horse-drawn carriage for transporting goods from the space.

When she came back with the carriage, she paid the balance and asked the shop owner to help her move all the flowers onto the carriage.

Her lavish spending immediately alarmed the nearby shops.

Some people observed the flowers being moved onto the carriage and picked out their most valuable treasures from their own shops.

"My two distinguished guests, please come to my house and take a look at this peony in my hand..."

"Look at my house. I have all kinds of products. They are good quality and cheap..."

"..."

The flower market business has been sluggish in the past two years, and as it is close to the border with Daewoo, there are very few foreign merchants coming. Now that such a big-money customer has come, they certainly want to seize the opportunity.

Pan Yingying accepted all the flowers that came to her and looked at all the flowers they brought to her, actually waiting for the system to check them.

She thought for a moment and raised her voice, "Don't worry, we'll be in Qionghua City for at least ten days this time. It's getting late today, so we'll come back tomorrow."

After hearing Pan Yingying's repeated assurances, the shop owners reluctantly dispersed and let them leave the flower market.

When they reached a deserted place, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng drove the carriage directly into the space.

After selling the flowers to the system, the two changed into new outfits and left the space again.

……

……

It took them three days to figure out the route around Qionghua City clearly.

On the fourth night, just after ten o'clock, two dark shadows appeared. "Yun Ke Lai."

Long Er opened his eyes and looked towards the window. After a while, he closed his eyes again and rested.

Long Sanqi nudged her with his elbow and said, "Are we really not going to follow them?"

Long Er didn't move, and squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "If you can keep up, then go ahead. Anyway, I can't keep up."

In the past, she could still protect them secretly, but now she couldn't catch up with the speed of the two people at all, which showed that the couple's Qinggong had never fallen behind. Long Sanqi said "Oh" and turned over to sleep.

Even Long Er can't keep up with the speed, so she should not overestimate her own abilities and just sleep peacefully.

Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng followed the route that had been planned long ago to the City Lord's Mansion on South Street.

The City Lord's Mansion covers a large area and is built like a small imperial palace. I don't know how much of the people's money was extorted.

There is a "flower tax" in Qionghua City. Whether you grow flowers or sell flowers, you need to hand over 60% of your monthly income to the City Lord's Mansion.

Moreover, the relatives of the City Lord's Mansion monopolized the price of grain. With the support of the City Lord's Mansion, those people made a fortune.

The defense of the City Lord's Mansion was not very strict, so the two of them sneaked in easily.

This time, Pan Yingying did not plan to use any drugs. Instead, she went directly to the warehouse and collected all the treasures inside through the wall into the space.

The two men acted separately, and before dawn, they had cleaned out several large and small warehouses in the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing that it was still early, they slipped away to the grain shop in the East Market.

In the granary, the guard in charge of night watch was leaning against the wall, drowsy. Yu Chaosheng shook his head, dodged the guard, and took away the grain in the granary.

While he was collecting grain, Pan Yingying looked around in the grain shop and unexpectedly found a cellar.

After putting the things into the space, she realized that the cellar was full of corpses.

There were men and women, all no older than fifteen, and they were placed in large urns that exuded the fragrance of flowers.

Pan Yingying didn't think that the grain shop owner was responsible for these bodies. She counted and found a total of 73 urns, which meant 73 deaths. The grain shop owner's sister was the city lord's concubine and they were not a real relative at all. He didn't have the ability to commit these 73 tragedies.

He had the ability to kill so many children and make the grain shop owner willingly help him hide the bodies. The only person he could think of was Hua Furong, the only daughter of the city lord Hua Wentian.

Hua Furong is 18 years old this year. It is said that she is beautiful and has been extremely talented in making incense since childhood. At the age of 12, she made a kind of incense called "Huangliang Yimeng" and sold it at a high price of ten thousand taels of gold.

It is said that this fragrance can make people dream about the person they miss most.

Hua Furong and "A Dream of Red Mansions" became famous since then.

But she never produced anything better than "A Dream of Red Mansions" since then.

Because Hua Wentian didn't want his daughter to get married, he kept Hua Furong until this age.

However, the City Lord's Mansion seems to be planning a "martial arts competition to win a husband" for Hua Furong recently.

Pan Yingying was not interested in Hua Furong's "martial arts competition to win a husband", but she could not bear Hua Furong hurting the child.

Those large urns containing corpses smelled more fragrant than each other. Combined with what she had read about Hua Furong's life, it was hard for Pan Yingying not to suspect that she was the culprit.

After leaving the grain store, the two flew onto the roof and quickly returned to the inn.

After changing his clothes, Yu Chaosheng saw Pan Yingying frowning and asked, "What's wrong? Why is your expression so ugly all of a sudden?"

Pan Yingying didn’t know how to explain, so she simply pulled him into the space.

When Yu Chaosheng saw the big jar in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaimed "Oh shit".

"What is this? Where did you get it?" He hugged Pan Yingying's arm tightly, not wanting to go forward to see what was going on. "Why is it put together with the food? Quick, quick, move it outside!"

Pan Yingying refused, "You can't move out now."

Yu Chaosheng was about to jump up, and pulled her out of the space, "Then when are we going to move?"

Pan Yingying climbed onto the bed and lay down. She was very tired after not sleeping all night.

"Wait until Hua Furong has a martial arts competition to find a husband."

Yu Chaosheng: ???

"Hua Furong? Who is that?"

Pan Yingying: ...
