96 Chapter 96. Black Versus Black

Su Qing looked at the shopkeeper and smiled. Her smile was sinister, and even in the summer, it made one feel a bone-chilling cold. The shopkeeper was stunned momentarily, but seeing how thin and weak Su Qing was, he did not take her seriously.

If a foreigner came to their territory, it would be a pity. If he were a tiger, he would have to lie down. If he were a dragon, he would have to coil up.

“Since you’re in Ji Ren Tang, it’s your bad luck. Just take the money and get lost. Since you don’t know how to appreciate favors, go to the county magistrate’s prison and spend the rest of your life there!”

It was not the first time that Ji Ren Tang had done this kind of thing. As soon as the shopkeeper spoke, the waiters surrounded them. Some of them went to close the door and locked it from the inside.

Su Qing watched them close the door and did not move. Killing intent rose in her eyes. She did not have to be polite and care for these evil people on behalf of the king of h.e.l.l. She just wanted to be an ordinary person in peace, selling musk and buying Lingzhi. But these people were rushing to their deaths.

Seeing that the door was closed, the shopkeeper tried to force Su Qing to hand over the musk with a sinister smile.

“If you hand over the musk now and get out of here, I’ll spare your dog life.”

Now, he didn’t even want to give a hundred taels of silver and directly rob her.

“A tourist trap is good.”

However, he saw a cruel smile on Su Qing’s face. He was stunned by what Su Qing said.

“Grab …”

But before he could figure it out, a cold hand was placed on his neck. The shopkeeper did not even see how she did it before he was strangled. Before he could order the staff to arrest her, Su Qing broke his neck, and he fell to the ground weakly.

When the workers saw that the shopkeeper had been strangled to death, they did not dare to ‘delay’ anymore. They all grabbed their weapons and rushed over to grab Su Qing. Su Qing intended to kill and would not allow them to regret it. Her figure was like a sword as she shuttled between the four of them. When she pa.s.sed through them, the four workers had their throats broken and fell to the ground, just like the shopkeeper.

“A black shop … Then, we can eat each other.”

Su Qing removed a white cloth from the counter and wiped her hands. She then told the shopkeeper that she had not finished, but the shopkeeper could no longer hear him.

Su Qing started to collect the medicine. It was too troublesome to carry the medicine one by one. She removed the medicine from the medicine cabinet her master had thrown in and put it into the system’s medicine cabinet. Su Qing threw the entire medicine cabinet to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi was very busy. Her chubby little body shuttled back and forth, and her little face was red from work.

After Su Qing finished the medicine cabinet, she walked to the counter and opened the drawer to collect the money. There was not much money, only a few dozen pieces of silver and copper coins. Su Qing felt that a medicine shop could not have so little money. She saw a bunch of keys hanging on the shopkeeper’s waist, took them off, and went to the back room.

The back room was the accountant’s room. Su Qing opened the door and entered the room. She found a few hundred taels of silver and notes worth more than a thousand taels of silver from a few large cabinets. She threw the silver and notes into the system without any expression.

Su Qing was overjoyed. The front hall had been searched, but there was still the back hall. She found an orderly medicine warehouse when she opened the back hall door. She did the same thing and threw all the goods and shelves to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi was busy.

After ensuring there were no hidden rooms, Su Qing left the warehouse and walked back. There was a kitchen and two resting rooms. Two kitchen ladies were busy steaming mantou and stewing meat in the kitchen.

The two female cooks did not do anything evil. Su Qing did not want to kill them, so she asked Xiao Qi to make some sleeping pills and blow them into the room to knock them out.

The kitchen of Ji Ren Tang was complete with a big iron pot, a small iron pot, a steaming tray, various spices, rice, flour, oil, fish, chicken, and dozens of eggs and vegetables. Su Qing moved everything into the system without any hesitation.

Xiao Qi was dumbfounded. What was the master doing?

Did she turn her high-end healing system into a sc.r.a.p collection station?

“Xiao Qi, make me a restoration pill.”

Su Qing ordered Xiao Qi. She had seen the Lingzhi when she was collecting the herbs, but she did not know how the Lingzhi would turn out.

Xiao Qi hurriedly went to prepare the medicine. When she took out the Lingzhi, her little face was disdainful.

“Master, this Lingzhi isn’t even a hundred years old, so its medicinal effects are fragile.”

“It’s better than nothing,”

Su Qing said indifferently. She would try to recover as much as she could. She did not want her body to be destroyed before the thousand-year Lingzhi.

“Yes, master.”

Xiao Qi agreed adorably and quickly prescribed Su Qing some medicine.

Su Qing couldn’t stay in the medicine shop for too long. She climbed over the backyard wall and took a small path to find Ji Shuisheng and the others.

Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang had already bought the grain. They purchased ten dan of grain, enough to fill two carriages. The grain here was slightly cheaper than in Jin city. One tael of silver could buy two dan of grain.

Last time, Su Qing used two packets of coa.r.s.e salt to marinate wild boar meat. If they encountered any wild game on the way, they had to marinate it, so salt was indispensable. Salt was also cheaper than in Jin City, so they bought another ten packets.

After buying the grains, Ji Shuisheng inquired about the price of cotton. A bag of cotton cost one tael of silver, which was quite expensive.

He gritted his teeth and bought ten bags of cotton and five rolls of the cheapest coa.r.s.e cloth. He asked the maidservants to make cotton-padded clothes on the way so that he could wear them when he reached Jingshi Dao.

They had just finished shopping when they saw Su Qing return empty-handed, so Ji Shuisheng asked her,

“You didn’t manage to buy it?”

“Well, there’s nothing here. We’ll take a look at the next city. Let’s go!”

Su Qing was afraid that a long night would bring more trouble. Since Ji Shuisheng and the rest had already bought the food, she urged them to leave quickly.

“I still need to find a place to sell these wolf hides.”

Ji Shuisheng pointed at the five wolf skins and told Su Qing that he had asked the shop a.s.sistant just now, and he said there was a leather collection station after turning the street.

“Don’t go; let’s go quickly.”

When Su Qing heard he wanted to go to the back street, he urged him to leave. Ji Shuisheng glanced at her. Although Su Qing was as cold as usual, Ji Shuisheng had a faint feeling that she had encountered some trouble there, and it was not a small matter.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Ji Shuisheng didn’t ask anything, just like how Su Qing had never asked him why his clothes were covered in blood. It was the same as where he had gone that night!

They left Liangcheng to join the team and headed for Jiang City. Two hours later, someone went to sound the drum of Liangcheng ‘s government office.

“County magistrate, bad news! Bandits robbed our pharmacy. The shopkeeper and his employees were all killed.”

By the time the county magistrate of Liangcheng County arrived at Ji Ren Tang with the Yamen runners and the coroner, Ji Shuisheng and the rest had already walked a few miles. The city gates of Liangcheng were closed, and the entire city was searched. Su Qing was already high in the sky, free to fly.

On the way from Liangcheng to Jiang City, Su Qing took the restoration pill that Xiao Qi had given him. Her fatigue and powerlessness had disappeared, and her internal organs had recovered a little, but it was still barely satisfactory.

She could only hope to find a thousand-year-old Lingzhi in Jiang City. If not, she could only place her hopes on old Qin.

Su Qing’s riding boots were finally done. She even embroidered an eagle on the shoes, which looked lifelike and domineering.

Xiaoying immediately fell in love with it. She wanted to learn as well. Su Qing laughed and teased her,

“You said you wanted to learn embroidery. Have you done it?”

Ji Xiaoying stuck out her tongue in embarra.s.sment.

“It’s too difficult,”

Su Qing’s smile grew wider. Xiaoying’s guilty look was like a student looking for an excuse for not doing her homework.

Madam Li listened to the two young ladies’ conversation and suddenly said,

“If I weren’t blind, I would have taught you how to embroider.”

Su Qing looked at Madam Li. It was time to treat her eyes. Just as Su Qing was looking at consort Li, she heard the sound of horses galloping outside the carriage. A group of armored soldiers was approaching.
