Sword ancestor is above

Chapter 20 Where's Pinger?

The apprentice's expression suddenly became serious when he heard the words, and he immediately looked through the accounts on the counter, and then raised his head to look at Lu Xuan again.

"We do have 130 catties of black deer grass in the warehouse of Shenlintang, but more than half of it will lose its potency in half a year at most. Lu Shao, are you really planning to take it all?"

The apprentice looked at Lu Xuan suspiciously.

He has already said it very straightforwardly, the batch of black deer grass in Shenlintang will probably be disposed of after the spring of next year.

In fact, they are not the only ones who participate in Lintang, most medicine halls and medicinal material dealers also do the same. Most of these medicinal materials that are difficult to use in daily life only prepare a hundred catties, and then put them in the warehouse for a few years to sell. The potency of the medicine is almost exhausted, so I can either feed it to the pigs or go to the river.

"I……"

"Xiao Lin, if the customers want to buy it, you just sell it, why are there so many nonsense?"

Just as Lu Xuan was about to answer, the shopkeeper who had been listening quietly by the side suddenly picked up the words and walked quickly in front of Lu Xuan.

"Young Master Lu, we are all knowledgeable. Most of the medicinal materials such as black deer grass are in stock, so I will not ask for too high a price. What do you think of the price of one tael of silver for ten catties of black deer grass?"

The shopkeeper of Shenlintang looked at Lu Xuan with a smile.

"Okay, I'll get the silver for you, the shopkeeper."

Lu Xuan readily agreed.

This shopkeeper is much more cunning than that little apprentice, obviously he is asking Lu Xuan to help clear out the expired inventory.

However, Lu Xuan didn't mind. If it was sold at the normal price, one tael of silver would buy at most six catties of black deer grass. What's more, he knew very well that the price of black deer grass would definitely skyrocket after another ten days and a half months.

"Young Master Lu, go slowly, I'll send those black deer grass to your house later!"

After a while, the transaction between the two parties was completed, and the shopkeeper of Shenlintang smiled and waved goodbye to Lu Xuan's leaving back.

"Shopkeeper, is it that Lu Xuan's brain is not working well, why buy so much black deer grass that will become waste next year?"

The apprentice surnamed Lin was still confused.

"You don't care if he is stupid or not, as long as he has money to make? A basket of 'pigweed' is exchanged for more than a dozen taels of snowflake silver. Isn't he good?"

The shopkeeper played with the silver ingots and said without raising his head.

……

Let's talk about Lu Xuan.

After leaving Shenlin Tang, he continued to sweep the goods in the various medicine halls on Baicao Street, and cleaned up all the black deer grass in the various medicine halls in just one morning.

There is almost no resistance during the whole process.

This is also easy to understand. Apart from being troublesome to dry, black deer grass is not a precious medicinal herb at all. Which medicine hall would keep them in its hands?

Not everyone knows the future like Lu Xuan.

And almost all the shopkeepers, after Lu Xuan paid the money and left, gave him an evaluation-"Prodigal son!"

"Laugh, laugh, laugh hard, let's see if you can still laugh in a few days."

Lu Xuan drove the carriage and walked on the street, feeling the laughing eyes from the surrounding shops, and muttered to himself.

……

This afternoon.

At the gate of Lu's house.

Ah... sneeze!

Lu Xuan, who was arranging for his assistants to move bags of herbs to the yard, suddenly sneezed long and hard.

"Who is this talking badly behind his back?"

He rubbed his nose puzzled.

"Master Lu, all the goods have been put in the yard, please take inventory."

A guy carrying goods came to Lu Xuan.

"No need to order, you go back, you have worked hard today."

Lu Xuan put a few scattered silver coins in the guy's hand.

These guys and carriages are all hired by him temporarily.

"Thank you, Master Lu."

A few coolies drove the carriage away gratefully.

……

Go into the yard.

Looking at the black deer grass piled up in the bullpen in the courtyard, Lu Xuan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

After Lu Xuan's rough calculations, he had collected about five hundred catties of black deer grass in just this morning.

Moreover, many medicinal herb dealers, after hearing that he even took black deer grass with only half a year left in potency, said that he could transfer more black deer grass from nearby towns.

Naturally, Lu Xuan would not refuse anyone who came.

If his memory is correct, because of the leakage of the medicine king's prescription, these black deer grass can be sold for at least five or six times the price.

As for whether the future will change, at least judging from what happened to Bai Yurou last time, history has not changed in regard to these major events.

"There is still a lot of money left. Try to collect a few more batches of black deer grass before the news is released. In addition, if there is any leftover, you can collect other things."

While thinking this way, he walked towards the main room.

But as he walked, he just felt something was wrong—where's Ping'er?

In the past, as soon as he arrived home, Ping'er would greet him immediately, but now he has been in the yard for almost a cup of tea, but he hasn't seen Ping'er come out yet.

"Ping'er?"

He yelled and walked quickly into the main room.

As a result, Pinger still did not respond.

Just when Lu Xuan was about to search for Ping'er's bedroom, he suddenly saw a note on the table in the middle of the main room, a note nailed to death on the table with a dagger.

Lu Xuan picked up the note and looked at it, only to see a few large characters crookedly written on it - "The person is in my hands, I want her to live, come to the Gaoqiu mansion."

Signed - "Gao He."

"Gaoqiu Mansion? Gao He?"

Lu Xuan looked at the name and pondered for a moment, then a memory suddenly came to his mind, and he frowned and murmured:

"Could this be Gao Qiu's legendary younger brother, Gao Qiu?"

Gao Qiu did have a younger brother, but the relationship between the two was not good on weekdays. Even Gao He went to Lieyang City several years ago because he disdained Gao Qiu's behavior, and it was said that he was working for an escort agency.

Also because the relationship between the two was really bad, Lu Xuan didn't react immediately after seeing the name.

"Is this to avenge his brother for me?"

Lu Xuan couldn't help frowning.

The Taiping Order of the Bai family can block most of the troubles for them all, but it is impossible to stop someone like Gao He who avenged his brother.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Xuan put away the note.

He got up and went to his room, took out the Thousand Ton Sword from under the bed, and then took the bottle of Small Return Pill, and then walked out of the courtyard with the sword case on his back.

No matter what Gao He wants to do, he will never leave Ping'er alone.

……

After dark.

At the gate of Gaoqiu Mansion.

"Master Lu, as far as I know, this Gaoqiu Mansion has been unoccupied for a long time, are you sure that Gao He is inside?"

An old man held his hands in his sleeves and looked at Lu Xuan suspiciously.

This old man is none other than the old treasurer of the Bai Family Fushoutang.

After Bai Muchun gave Lu Xuan the order of peace, the old shopkeeper also became the liaison between Lu Xuan and the Bai family, and he was also a first-rank fighter.

"This is where he made the appointment."

Lu Xuan nodded.

This time the old shopkeeper was called here just in case, as he is not the hot-blooded young man he used to be.
