Jade Without Fragrance

Chapter 62: Tit For Tat

Chapter 62

Qin Wenyuan’s face sank: “Why not?”

Qingyan beat the drum with a heart: “There are many officials patrolling the streets. If you catch those idlers, I will tell you-”

Qin Wenyuan smiled disapprovingly: “Tell those idlers not to linger for too long, and just leave before the official officer arrives. The lantern festival is crowded with people, and when the official officer hears the news, it’s enough for them to have a good chat.”

Seeing that Qin Wenyuan had made up his mind, Qing Yan did not dare to persuade him any more.

In the sparsely lit area, a few idlers stared at the people who lingered and played.

They are looking for a suitable target to start with.

Days like    Qixi Festival mean both joy and danger.

Some careless people may be targeted and lost their wallets, and young women who are alone or children whose parents are not paying attention may fall into the hands of human traffickers.

A few idlers were looking for decently dressed people, taking advantage of the crowds to take advantage of the crowd.

For those who visit the Lantern Festival, their wallets will not be empty.

“Several big brothers—”

Qingyan suddenly greeted the few idlers by surprise.

It hasn’t opened yet, so it’s impossible that someone found it and came to the door, right?

Seeing Qing Yan dressed as a servant, several people became more and more vigilant.

“What’s your business?”

“I have something to ask for help.”

“What’s up?”

Qingyan took a step up and said a few words to the idle guy at the head.

led the idle man frowning.

Qing Yan hurriedly said, “Give me five taels of silver.”

“This matter will cause trouble if you get it right—” The idler leader was a little moved.

Five taels of silver is not a lot, but I can still get more.

“Just a few words with a few little girls, it’s not difficult for a few big brothers.”

“Provoked the messenger, we can’t afford to walk around. You can’t earn five taels of silver.”

“You don’t need to entangle the eldest brothers, just let the people around you see it.” Qing Yan chuckled, “Maybe I didn’t make it clear just now, it’s five taels per person.”

“One person five taels?” Several idlers said in unison.

“Big Brother—” an idle man couldn’t help shouting.

It’s not just words to tease the little lady, run away after teasing, one person can get five taels of silver, where can you find such a good thing!

led the idler and nodded immediately: “Okay, but you have to give five taels of silver as a deposit.”

“The deposit can only be given to two taels. But don’t worry, the big brothers. When I bring you to find the two girls, I will wait by the sweet-scented osmanthus tree next to the Wangji dim sum shop. Come and get the money as soon as you finish your business.”

led the idler to think for a while, then nodded: “That’s what we do. Let’s talk about it first, I can remember what you look like. If you make fun of us, I will find you sooner or later.”

“Then how can I do it? Since I asked a few big brothers for help, I just want to get things done. I don’t want to cause trouble.”

“Let’s go then.”

Qing Yan glanced in the direction of Qin Wenyuan, and walked quickly to the bright light.

Qin Wenyuan followed closely behind several people.

The streets were bustling and crowded, and it was not easy to find someone. Qing Yan got Qin Wenyuan’s reminder and went straight to the river.

Qixi Festival is also known as Doll’s Festival. Girls will put small wooden boats with clever fruits and melons into the water to pray for a happy marriage.

According to the unwritten rules, the girls from rich families and the daughters of ordinary people put their boats in a slightly different section of the river.

At this time, the river was already crowded with young girls, Qing Yan finally found someone.

“Do you see the two girls standing together, one in a pomegranate skirt and one in a goose yellow shirt, that’s them.”

The idler nodded.

“Then you have to work hard for the big brothers.” After Qing Yan explained, he quietly returned to Qin Wenyuan.

“Done?”

Qingyan disappeared from the nervousness when he first heard Qin Wenyuan’s plan, and said with a smile: “Young master, rest assured, everything is done. When those idlers heard five taels of silver each, they immediately agreed.”

“That’s good.” Qin Wenyuan showed a satisfied smile.

In order to avoid being noticed, the master and servant were not close to the river. Qin Wenyuan’s vision towards the river was blocked by the people coming and going, and he couldn’t help staring there.

There was anticipation in his eyes, and the anger in his heart subsided a lot.

How eloquent, noble girls were molested by idlers on the street, he would like to see how they behave!

“Qingyan, you can wait for them under the osmanthus tree. The money is clear and it will save trouble in the future.”

“Young Master wants to stay here?”

Qin Wenyuan smiled slightly: “How can you miss such a good show, when I watch the beginning, I will go straight back to the house, and you will go back straight after you finish your work.”

Qing Yan agreed and hurried to the agreed place.

Several idlers were walking towards Lin Hao, when the head idler was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

“Who?” The idle man was startled and immediately turned his head to look around.

A very handsome boy came into view.

There was a warm smile on the corner of the boy’s lips, and his voice was low: “How about helping me with something?”

A few idlers were surprised.

What happened today, come up one by one and let them do things.

“I know that someone gave you five taels of silver per person to make it difficult for you and the two girls-”

led the idle man in shock: “Who are you and what do you want?”

Several idlers immediately surrounded the boy.

Being surrounded, the young man looked calm: “Don’t worry, just listen to me.”

Several idlers stared at him closely.

The    boy smiled, and suddenly pointed his hand to one place: “Did you see the young man in the sapphire blue gown? He is the one who paid for your affairs.”

Out of curiosity, a few idle men looked through the gap between people coming and going, and they saw a young man wearing a sapphire blue gown.

“Could it be that he found us and found you?” The leader of the idle man thought it was unlikely that the boy’s bearing was improbable, but he really couldn’t think of a reason for the other party to find him.

“Mothering a girl often loses her character.” The boy’s tone was soft, but his words were shocking. “I’ll pay you ten times and give you fifty taels per person. Go and tease the man in the blue shirt.”

“what?”

A few idlers thought they had heard it wrong.

“You want us to molest men?”

“Fifty taels.” The boy’s tone was light.

Several idlers exchanged glances.

Fifty taels, fifty taels per person!

done!

“You have to give the money first.” The idle man in the lead suppressed his thumping heartbeat, his face unconsciously showing ferocity.

This is fifty taels per person, and the four of them are two hundred taels.

With these two hundred taels, they can wash their hands in a golden pot.

The boy slapped a stack of silver notes on the hand of the lead idler.

Xianhan Fei hurriedly clicked, there were twenty banknotes of ten taels in total, exactly two hundred taels.

He looked at the boy in surprise.

It was all given?

“I think it’s troublesome, so I’m too lazy to wait for you under the osmanthus tree afterwards. I believe you are also people who are afraid of trouble, right?”

The boy asked calmly, but several people heard the threat.

“Of course, let’s take money to do things, you can rest assured,” the leader said with a smile.

This young man could hear the conversation just now clearly, but no one noticed them. Naturally, such a person cannot be offended.

Besides, the poor ghost who only gave one person five taels of silver would not give more money to impress them.

“Brothers, go.”
