Chapter 413 Insatiable Greed
A middle-aged man in official clothes came up from the stairs. The man looked very anxious. He didn't come to drink tea at all. He looked around when he went upstairs. His eyes fell on Su Qing and walked towards her, asking with some uncertainty. Su Qing:

"Madam, are you looking for Yinling?"

"Yes."

Su Qing nodded:
"Did you bring it?"

"I brought it, but I want to ask boldly what is the relationship between Madam and the Su family?"

The officer looked at Su Qing with burning eyes. He originally came here for the 100 taels of silver, but now he might be able to get more.

"Guard, show me the silver bell first. If it's what I'm looking for, I'll give you an extra 100 taels as a thank you."

Su Qing didn't answer his question directly, and first checked whether it was what he was looking for. As for the yamen servant, as long as he was greedy for money, it would be fine.

"You answer my question first."

This official servant also wanted money, and wanted to make meritorious deeds, so he forced Su Qing to ask.

"They are my enemies. They robbed my family's property and fled to Los Angeles. This silver bell belongs to my daughter. I must get it back."

Su Qing spoke very calmly, and lies can be made up casually.

That silver bell is something that children wear. When this official sent to search the Su Mansion, the other official sent took away all the valuables, leaving only a pretty wooden box that was not wanted. The official opened it. At first glance, it turned out to be a worthless black silver bell. No wonder no one wanted it, so he wanted to throw it away.

But thinking of my newborn son, it would be good to keep it as a foot bell for the child, so I didn't want to throw it away.

A few days ago, I saw a notice on the street, which was painted with this silver bell. Seeing the reward of 100 taels written on it, he almost died of joy. He went home immediately and wanted to take the silver bell to the teahouse to find the reward in exchange for money.

Unexpectedly, there was a great chaos in Los Angeles. These officials were organized into groups and searched from house to house. They were busy from morning to night and didn't even have time to drink water. He passed by the teahouse several times and couldn't come in because of his colleagues.

Today, I finally found an excuse to go to the latrine, and came to the teahouse to find the person offering the reward, but I didn't expect it to be the lady who just bought Su's mansion?

His brain began to come alive, as long as it was proved that Su Qing was the remnant of the Su family, then he would have done meritorious service. Who would have thought that he would be an enemy?
He suspected that Su Qing was lying, but seeing the hatred in her eyes, he didn't think so?

Su Qing took out two 100 taels silver notes and put them on the table:
"My lord, the silver ticket is here. I need to check to see if it is my daughter's silver bell?"

"it is good."

The officer's eyes lit up when he saw the banknote, and he quickly took out a sachet from his bosom, and carefully took out a silver bell from it. This is a treasure, worth 200 taels of silver.

Su Qing took the silver bell and checked it against the sun outside the window. She was very familiar with this silver bell and recognized it at a glance. Even the black string on it had not changed, and the pattern was exactly the same as she remembered. The other silver bells were all silver , and this silver bell is black all over.

"Yes, it belongs to my daughter, you can take the money away."

Su Qing put away the silver bell and pushed the silver ticket to the official post.

The official put away the banknote cheerfully, and looked at Su Qing calculatingly with a pair of eyes:

"Ma'am, can I ask you what this silver bell is for?"

Buy a broken silver bell for 200 taels?This thing must be very expensive, and the official regretted not asking for more money.

If he can get 1000 taels, he will not be an official post. He will take his wife and children back to his hometown to buy a house and land, and collect rent to enjoy himself.

Su Qing was already getting impatient, why ask so much after money and goods are cleared?She turned a deaf ear to the questions raised by the official, put away the silver bell and went downstairs, the tea money had already been paid and the clerk did not stop her.

Seeing that Su Qing ignored him, the officer chased after him unwillingly. This is a piece of fat, how can he just take a bite and let it go?I have to have another big meat.

"Madam, I'll give you the money. I won't sell the silver bell."

The official stopped Su Qing and reached out to ask for Yinling.

Su Qing looked at him coldly:
"roll."

"Why are you madam so arrogant? The silver bell is mine. If I don't sell it, you still want to grab it?"

Seeing Su Qing swearing at people, the official was immediately annoyed, showing his usual ferocious face, staring at him to stop Su Qing from leaving.

There were many people in the restaurant, Su Qing didn't want to entangle him here, so she said something expressionless:
"Follow me, and I'll give you another 1000 taels."

Seeing that he did what he wanted, the official was immediately happy, and immediately followed Su Qing with a smile on his face:
"Let's just say Madam is a generous person, and it's not in vain for me to run errands to bring it to you."

Su Qing remained silent with a sullen face, murderous intent flashed in her dark eyes, after leaving the teahouse, Su Qing walked back to the street, the officer stopped her by looking at something wrong:
"Madam, this is not the way to Su Mansion, where do you want to take me?"

"Come in with me to get the banknotes."

Su Qing said lightly and continued to walk into the alley. The officer looked at the alley and hesitated, a little scared, but 1000 taels is really a huge temptation, besides, it is a woman with a saber, what are you afraid of?
He just hesitated for a moment and saw that Su Qing had walked into the alley without looking back, as if she didn't care whether she caught up or not, maybe she just wanted to get rid of him?Thinking of this, the officer couldn't care less about being cautious, and ran after him in the alley.

As soon as he entered the alley, he felt the strong wind hit his face, and it was too late to escape. A sleeve arrow pierced deeply between his eyebrows, and then another sleeve arrow shot him in the throat. Do not rest in peace.

Su Qing used to take back the 200 taels silver note she had given to the official, and ruthlessly took out the corpse-dissolving powder to melt the official's body.

"This is what happens to your greed."

Unknowingly dealt with the greedy officials, Su Qing walked out from the other end of the alley, and saw that there were almost no pedestrians on the street, only the officials running around bluffing, giving people the feeling that they were strong outsiders but weak in the middle. Shout out to ease your fear.

Su Qing got what he wanted, so there was no need to stay in Los Angeles any longer. He went to three restaurants and bought a lot of food and wine for them to send to Su's mansion. After a good meal, he returned to Mo City tonight.

When Su Qing returned to the Su Mansion, Ji Shuisheng also came back from the outside. He was dressed in black and covered his face, and there were large bloodstains on his clothes.

"Qing'er, I killed more than a dozen Wanjia soldiers today, so happy."

Ji Shuisheng took off his mask, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he exclaimed happily.

Su Qing nodded and said to Ji Shuisheng:

"Get ready to leave Los Angeles tonight."

When Ji Shuisheng heard Su Qing's proposal to leave Los Angeles, he changed his clothes and paused:
"Did you find the person you were looking for?"

Su Qing looked at Ji Shuisheng with a pair of beautiful eyes and a smile:
"I found it, and got what I wanted."

"is it?"

Ji Shuisheng was happy for Su Qing, and he also wanted to see what it was that made Su Qing come all the way to Los Angeles, and waited so long to go to the teahouse to report every day?
"What are you looking for? Can I take a look?"
