I just want to be a middleman

Chapter 14 Are there two identical leaves in this world?

Qian Duoduo looked at the one hundred taels of silver and five gold leaves in his purse, put the gold leaves into the space, and returned to Zuixianlou.

As soon as he got back, he went to the young lady's room. "Young lady, are you in there?" Qian Duoduo knocked softly on the door. It was already afternoon.

“Come in” and I saw the young lady sitting by the window reading a book.

"How's it going? Have you chosen it?"

Qian Duoduo took out his purse and handed it to the young lady. "You've been chosen and will be leaving the day after tomorrow. Here's a hundred taels of silver given to you by an elder. It's all yours."

"Why should I do this? I didn't do anything for you." So, is it nothing that Qian Duoduo has been living a life of idleness and waiting to die in Zuixianlou? Or is it that Qian Duoduo also has the aura of a protagonist, and Zuixianlou is like a hotel?

"I'm leaving with the sect, so I won't have any use for the silver. I'll give it to you to keep, it may be useful in the future." Qian Duoduo sat down and placed the silver on the short coffee table.

"I don't want it. I have plenty of money. Go buy something and take it away." This statement is outrageous! You have plenty! Buy something? Yes! Buy something for the young lady, and buy something for the shopkeeper mother.

Qian Duoduo took the money back and said, "Then I'll go buy something now." Then she walked out. Whenever the girls in the building saw her, they would ask her how the result was, and then smile and wish Qian Duoduo well.

Qian Duoduo may appear to be smiling happily, but deep down he's dying. The system has caused such a huge mess, I'm really exhausted...

Qian Duoduo found a clothing store and had a few sets of clothes made for ordinary people, and two better sets of clothes, which only cost him a little over one or two taels of silver.

Then I went to buy some pots and pans and waited until I got to the world of immortal cultivation to use them. It was impossible to use modern things in the world of immortal cultivation. That would clearly tell others, "I am different, come and mess with me.

If Qian Duoduo is killed, will her equipment drop? She has so much stuff on her!

This bowl is beautiful, and that bowl is beautiful too. The ancients were so smart. They made the ceramic bowls so beautiful that they also bought some wooden bowls, both big and small.

Hmm~ I'll buy some snail noodles and cook them! I really want to eat snail noodles with fried eggs and sweet sausage.

Finally, I went to the Gold Shop to buy myself a gold bracelet. I worked really hard. Gold is cheap now. The price of a gold bracelet can be a few taels, or even more than ten taels, depending on the gram weight and style. I bought a flower-blooming fortune bracelet for the shopkeeper mother, and a pure gold bracelet for myself, also in a fashionable style. It only cost a little over fifty taels!

There are still a lot of people on the streets at night. This is Qian Duoduo's favorite time of the day because he can go to a dark place where no one can see him and he can do whatever he wants.

As Qian Duoduo walked, he hid himself in the black shadows and then walked into the alley. Now Qian Duoduo can easily recognize objects at night.

I put the things I bought into the space while walking, then squatted in the corner and opened the system panel. Since I was the only one who could see it, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Qian Duoduo was squatting with his legs hugged. Even if someone saw this posture, it would be normal. The key point was that it was dark and no one could see Qian Duoduo.

"Fulai, can you still contact me after entering the world of immortal cultivation?" Qian Duoduo asked the most concerned question. If he didn't have Fulai as his backer, he would probably be eliminated in the world of immortal cultivation in no time.

"Sure, our system won't be discovered, and the same goes for the portable space. You just need to be careful." Qian Duoduo opened a cosmetics store to add another layer of protection to his life.

I bought a whole set of them. The Little Miss is a gentle series, and the Royal Sister is also good. I bought five sets directly. As soon as I took it out, it became the packaging of this era. It is so convenient.

I made a simple bag with a piece of cloth and put the cosmetics in it. I stood up and prepared to go back to Zuixianlou. As soon as I walked out of the alley, I saw the three thugs who had "robbed" me before.

Qian Duoduo followed them to see if they were going to do something bad or if they had already changed their ways. After walking for a while, they stopped at the door of a house, knocked on the door and went in. Qian Duoduo watched from outside, and then saw them carrying a box out and then walking to the other side. After following them for a while, Qian Duoduo saw them walk into a deserted alley.

He put the cosmetics in the space, then took out an electric baton and asked, "What are you doing again?" Qian Duoduo's faint voice came out.

The three of them dropped their boxes to the ground, and then they turned around and looked around to see clearly that it was Qian Duoduo. "Sister, we really didn't do anything bad this time! We were asked to carry something and were paid."

"What's inside Fulai?"

"People just like you."

Qian Duoduo:???

"He's still breathing. Do you want to save him?" Fulai asked Qian Duoduo

"You three, open the box so I can see what's inside. Did the person who asked you to carry the box tell you what it is?" You don't even know what the cargo is, but you just help others carry it. You'll find out once you carry it to the county government office. How could such a stupid thing happen?

"This isn't good," the gang leader said. Qian Duoduo said nothing, but pressed the electric baton hidden in his sleeve. A small flash of lightning appeared.

"It's not impossible, sister. Come and take a look." One of the thugs opened the tinderbox and the other opened the box.

Everyone jumped in shock the moment the box opened. Qian Duoduo was the most frightened. After all, he had never seen anything like this before. At most, he had seen it on TV or in movies, but it was nothing like experiencing it in person. Sitting in the box was a person with a bloody face, his hands and feet tied up with hemp rope.

After just one glance, Qian Duoduo immediately closed the box and said, "Carry her to a safe place right now and rescue her. If I weren't here today, you would have been arrested by the county government tomorrow and executed in the autumn. Where did you take her?"

The gang leader and his lackeys were frightened and trembling. "Let us carry it to the riverside where there is a stand. He didn't say what's inside."

Qian Duoduo urged them to carry the animal away quickly. If I told you there was a human inside, who would take the blame for him?

These three idlers actually lived together. It was true that birds of a feather flock together! After carrying the person back home, they immediately put him to bed. Qian Duoduo arranged for someone to boil water, buy medicine, and buy each person a change of clothes.

After everyone was sent away, Qian Duoduo fed the woman a mouthful of spiritual spring water. "Fulai, is this okay? I'm afraid she'll get suspicious if she drinks too much."

"You've drunk too much! She will wake up soon." Why didn't you say it earlier? It seems like you are going to lie again, and it will be a big lie!

The person on the bed woke up and just cried without saying anything...

"Sister, why don't you tell me why you ended up like this?" Just then, Zhang San, who was boiling water, came in. Yes, Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu, the names of these three thugs. I always thought they were code names, but they turned out to be their real names!

Zhang San placed the water in front of the bed. Qian Duoduo wrung out the handkerchief and gently wiped the woman's face. "What's the point of you crying? Wait until the clothes shop comes back. I'll ask them to take you back after you change your clothes."

"Don't send me back." Only then did the woman react. It seemed like a family problem. Was it domestic violence?

"Then tell us about this matter. We also need a way to deal with it. Zhang San, pour a glass of water for this sister." Qian Duoduo watched her drink the water slowly without being in a hurry.

"Zhang San, tell me first, why did you go to carry the boxes?"

Zhang San stood below Qian Duoduo and said, "That man found our eldest brother and asked us to carry something and gave us five taels of silver, so we went. Didn't you tell us not to do bad things before? We just wanted to do some hard labor."

Is this coolie labor? Five taels of silver is coolie labor? Who in their right mind would give you five taels of silver just to carry a box? Are you really that stupid?

"A normal person would give you five taels of silver to carry a box, right? Would you give someone five taels to carry a box? Is there shit in your heads? If I hadn't passed by and saw you today, what do you think would have happened to you?"

Zhang San lowered his head and said nothing. Li Si and Wang Wu also came back from shopping, so it was a good opportunity to explain everything together. "Come and sit down, let this sister tell you the whole story."

Qian Duoduo helped the man up and leaned him against the bed. "My name is Xu Ziqing. The man who hired you is my husband. We were having some relationship problems, and I originally wanted a divorce since we didn't have any children. But this afternoon, he brought that woman home, and I caught him there. Then the two of them teamed up to take care of me, and you know what happened next."

It was just a murder of passion. Isn't it allowed to have three wives and four concubines? The customs here are quite open, and divorce and remarriage are all acceptable. "Why don't you divorce me? Or take that woman in as well?"

"Because all the money was mine. He had promised me that if we divorced after being together, he wouldn't take a penny of it. He had even cleared the way for it at the county government office. That's why they wanted to kill me to eliminate any future trouble." It seemed like Xu Ziqing's murder was premeditated. Perhaps their initial encounter was all a show. His true colors slowly emerged after they got married.

"Then have you ever considered that your marriage was a sham from beginning to end? Are there really two people in the world who are perfectly matched? You can't even find two identical leaves, let alone someone who understands you. This world only has people who work together for love. If you keep giving in and forgiving, you won't get far. Now we give you two choices. The first is to have Zhang San and the others go back with you to protect you, and then you can divorce. The second is that I will kill your husband directly. Which one do you accept?"

When Qian Duoduo mentioned killing, the three thugs were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. Qian Duoduo made it sound like killing was as easy as eating or drinking water. He was just an eight-year-old!

As for why Qian Duoduo wanted to kill her husband, it was because Fulai told Qian Duoduo that the woman her husband had an affair with also had a family. The two of them teamed up to kill the husband of the cheating woman, and now they are preparing to kill Xu Ziqing.

It seems that he is an experienced hand. Anyway, the investigative methods in ancient times were not that sophisticated. Qian Duoduo also thinks that this can be done.
