After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 250 Someone is interested in the things of the family god

Xie Wuying used a handful of modern milk candy fed by the household god Tu Huan to get a lot of grievances and disputes in Tianjiabao and even in and outside Yucheng over the years. Some of the news even involved the dirty things in the backyards of those wealthy families. Xie Wuying blushed when he heard it, and quickly stopped the other party from talking.

As he was trying to trick her, Tian Qing, the old manager of the Tian family, used another question to trick him back.

When the little fox met an old fox who was much more powerful than him, Xie Wuying capsized.

He did the task assigned by his Sixth Brother, but he didn't do it very well. The young man's temper was provoked and the good thing was ruined.

Xie Wuying stood aside, feeling somewhat depressed, and reviewed his mistakes.

A hand pressed heavily on his shoulder. Xie Wuying looked up and saw Xie Yuchuan with a guilty look in his eyes: "Sixth brother, I..."

"It's okay, you did a great job." Xie Yuchuan said.

After that, he said to Tian Qing, the shopkeeper of Tongtian Family, "Are you here because of the candy in Wuying's hand?"

When Tian Qing was on his way here, he had already prepared a plan in his mind on how to steer the conversation towards the refined sugar, which he had never seen before. When he decided to come and ask for advice, he also inquired from the escorting officer about some of the circumstances of the exile group.

After inquiring, Shopkeeper Tian was slightly surprised. He had thought that escorting a group of over a hundred fugitives was not an ordinary situation. But he did not expect that the people staying in Tianjiabao were actually the ones that the shopkeepers in Yucheng had been talking about recently.

The Duke of Huguo's mansion was raided overnight, which angered the ancestral temple and caused the god to summon rain.

In order to save their lives, the Xie family handed over the tablet of the god they had worshipped for a hundred years, and as a result they were abandoned and despised by everyone, and there was no chance for them to turn things around.

and many more……

Before this, Shopkeeper Tian usually just listened to it and regarded it as a condiment after meals.

Now, having really seen the family of the criminal who was rumored to be hated by the gods, the shrewd and experienced Tian Qing was shocked and immediately felt that the rumors in the market were not credible.

He had been the shopkeeper of the Tian family for nearly twenty years and had met so many people that he couldn't even count them. He also often saw the fugitives who were exiled to the north in his early years.

Those exiles suffered a lot along the way and when they arrived at Yucheng, most of them looked pale and thin. Although they were not as miserable as described by the merchants who came south from the north, they were not much better either.

On the contrary, I have never seen such a spirit and energy as the fugitive in front of me.

It's really surprising.

Not only that, he glanced around and felt that all the fugitives in the room seemed pretty good.

The young man in front of him was Xie Yuchuan, whom the young man called "Sixth Brother".

"General Xie, sorry to bother you." Tian Qing, who had inquired about Xie Yuchuan's previous life, still addressed Xie Yuchuan by his title before he became an exile.

Xie Yuchuan's eyes were calm, and Tian Qing's heart sank. The other party was obviously not used to such flattery. Such a person would not make friends for small profits.

The thatched house was simple, with some wooden boards and straw on the ground. Shopkeeper Tian was cramped, so Xie Yuchuan asked him to sit aside.

Zhang Dayi smiled and stood up, moved aside, and sat down next to Xie Wenjie. Xie Wenjie quickly stuffed a straw mat under Zhang Dayi's seat.

Although the action was small, it was noticed by Shopkeeper Tian who came to inquire about the background.

Looking up, meeting Zhang Dayi's smiling eyes, Tian Qing thought to himself, among the group of people, this is also a person of considerable weight. It is rumored that the Xie family is protected by gods, whether it is true or not, Tian Qing's tone is still very humble, not to mention that he came here today to ask for advice.

He grabbed a handful of candy from the cloth bag he was carrying.

Put it in front of Xie Yuchuan.

Xie Yuchuan looked down and saw that there were exactly a dozen or so.

He looked up at Xie Wuying.

Xie Wuying understood immediately and spread out his palm, only to see seven or eight more on it.

Xie Yuchuan stared at Tian Qing for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "I wonder why Shopkeeper Tian came here this time?"

"Thank you, General. I'm sorry for the intrusion."

"It doesn't matter."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but in front of Xie Yuchuan, a man of extraordinary charm and temperament, Shopkeeper Tian felt like an exile. The other party had such a divine demeanor and was not surprised by fame or disgrace. He didn't look like a person who had his property confiscated and was exiled.

Tian Qing came here for no other purpose than to know where the Xie family's packaged sugar came from.
"To be honest with you, General, the Tian family's business in Yucheng consists of sugar and tea. My eldest daughter is in charge of these two businesses. The tea business has been unable to make ends meet due to the severe flood this year and the damage to the warehouse. There are many tea merchants in Yucheng, and the competition is fierce. They work hard and make little profit, and it is difficult to make ends meet. However, the sugar shop business can still be supported a little, but it is only enough to make a living. There is a Songji Sugar Shop in Yucheng. There is a daughter in the family who is the owner in the palace. There is a big shop in the capital. The goods in it are of many categories and high sweetness. I heard that they are from the Western Regions and are very popular. Although the shop in Yucheng is small, the business is booming. Over time, our Tianji Sugar Shop has become..."

Shopkeeper Tian sighed softly, and it didn't matter whether he said the following words or not. As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece of candy that Xie Wuying had given to someone in order to get information.

"Forgive my poor eyesight, but can I ask the general where this candy with white gauze on the outside comes from? Of course, the Tian family will not accept gifts without merit. If the general can help me, you can do whatever you want. As long as Tianji can do it, we will definitely meet your requirements!"

Xie Yuchuan listened quietly and understood how Xie Wuying was tricked.

He remained silent, and Tian Qing and others became anxious.

Originally, he wanted to have a conversation with the other party step by step.

But when he saw him in person, Tian Qing had a hunch that for Xie Yuchuan, who once commanded an army of thousands, his evasive probing might not be as good as stating his intentions directly.

But the other party remained silent and did not respond to his words, which made Tian Qing feel unsure.

Is it because I was too frank that I exposed my own weaknesses?
Or is it too much to ask about the origin of this candy?
Just when Tian Qing was thinking about it, Xie Yuchuan finally spoke.

"Song's candy shop imports its goods from the Western Regions?"

Tian Qing thought the other party would say yes or no, but he was asking about Song's candy. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied, "That's right. The sugar-making techniques in the Western Regions are indeed quite different from those in Daliang. Ours are not inferior in taste, but people always like new things. Song's products are colorful and sweet. They are famous in Beijing, and the local gentry and common people all recognize them. The Tian family has no way to get them, so..."

Xie Yuchuan discovered that Shopkeeper Tian always left something to say, spoke modestly and with discretion, which made it easy for people to sympathize with him. He was a man who could be both superior and inferior, and it was not unfair for Xie Wuying to be held in such a control.

No wonder he is valued by this master.

Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of the taste of this candy, Shopkeeper Tian?"
