I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

The door opened, and a man who looked like a manager looked at the two people outside.

"It's late at night and the store isn't open yet. Come back tomorrow."

"Wait! We are sending the photos by mail, it will only take two minutes!" Jiang Yuan said quickly.

The steward opened the door with a hint of impatience in his eyes: "Hurry up, bring out whatever good things you have."

Jiang Yuan and the other man put the backpacks on the ground, untied the oil paper covering them, revealing two baskets full of bones.

“We’re going to send this thing off for photography.”

The manager took a look at the two men. They were wearing masks and were soaked all over. It was obvious that they were not simple people.

"This, this is a tiger bone?"

"No, these are human bones." Zhao Kai said bluntly.

The steward stared at the two of them with his eyes wide open for a long time. After a while, he stammered, "What are you talking about?"

"You, are you crazy because of poverty? You want to auction this thing too?"

"Who wouldn't want this thing if there weren't a few dead people in their family?"

Jiang Yuan quickly waved his hands: "Don't get me wrong, this isn't from our ancestors..."

The manager's face was filled with shock. "That's even worse! You dug up someone's ancestral grave and stole some gold, silver, and jewelry, but you actually brought out bones."

"If this is put up for auction, our auction house's reputation will be ruined!"

"Wait! We only took these bones. We didn't take any gold, silver, jewelry, or anything else." Jiang Yuan said quickly.

The steward opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a long time. Then his eyes suddenly lit up: "So, there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry?"

Jiang Yuan and the other person recalled it carefully and nodded at the same time.

"Yeah, a lot. Too much."

The manager's gaze changed as he looked at the two of them. Are they sure they are not perverts?

Instead of taking gold, silver and jewelry, you take dead bones?

"Since ancient times, those in your line of work have never disturbed the dead. They usually take away the valuables."

"For people like you two, where is your professional ethics, where is your conscience, and where is the address for digging up the grave?"

"Cough cough!" Jiang Yuan coughed twice.

"Don't get me wrong, we didn't dig it up, it fell from the sky."

The manager looked at Jiang Yuan with a sidelong glance, as if to say, "Go ahead and brag, it's up to me whether I believe it or not."

Jiang Yuan scratched his head and patiently explained, "It's like this. We were just passing by the Yang family when suddenly there was a loud bang in the sky and a bolt of lightning struck the Yang family ancestral hall."

"Then the ancestral hall exploded, and the bones of the Yang family's ancestors flew everywhere. These bones just happened to fall at our feet."

After Jiang Yuan's explanation, the manager felt dry in the mouth.

"You, you mean to say that these bones are from the ancestors of the Yang family?"

"The Yang family where Yang Cheng, one of the three highest officials in the dynasty, belongs to?"

"That's right." Jiang Yuan nodded without thinking.

Since he dared to come here, Jiang Yuan already had confidence in his heart.

The person behind this auction house is Yang Cheng's mortal enemy, the current Prime Minister Lu Fang.

No matter in background or status, none of them are inferior to Yang Cheng, and there is a feud between the two sides. Only such people would dare to put these bones up for auction.

"This! You dare to pick up this and put it up for auction?" The manager was frightened. These two guys are really smart. They dare to make money from it. They are so cruel!

Jiang Yuan looked at the manager with a forced smile: "We can only make a small profit at best, but the bulk of the profits won't be yours. After the auction is over, I only want 40%."

The manager's eyes lit up, it works!

If he didn't say it, who would know that these two people only wanted 40%?

There is a lot of money to be made from it.

"Okay, we'll take it. You just wait for the auction to end tomorrow and count the money." The manager said happily.

"That won't do. We're both small-time individuals. We need to step out of the spotlight. Once the auction is over, you can transfer the money to..."

Having said that, Jiang Yuan pondered for a while. This money was not a good thing, it was definitely a hot potato.

Originally, he wanted to hand it over to Bai Jingyun, as a kind of compensation for leaving without saying goodbye.

But Yang Cheng is not a fool. He will definitely investigate this matter to the end. If he finds out that the Bai family is involved, it will be bad.

"Just send him to the Xinricheng Post Station when the time comes." Jiang Yuan thought of a very safe method.

Xinri City is well connected and is an important transportation hub. Hundreds of cities can be reached through Xinri City. Even if Yang Cheng wanted to check, he would never be able to find out.

"This is a bit difficult. We usually count the prices in person to avoid being accused of concealing the actual price in the future." The manager looked embarrassed.

"How about this, you two wait a moment while I go ask our boss for instructions?"

Jiang Yuan showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes. With such a big commotion, there was a possibility that the whole city would be under martial law soon.

"How long do you want?"

"Don't worry, my boss is very decisive and it will only take a few minutes at most."

"Okay! Then go quickly and come back soon!" Jiang Yuan said gritting his teeth.

After the manager left, Jiang Yuan and the others kept an eye on the situation outside. If they heard any noise or soldiers passing by, they would run away immediately.

No matter how much money you have, you have to live to spend it.

Fortunately, just as the manager said, Jiang Yuan didn't even wait for five minutes before the manager came running over.

"Okay, you two. We'll keep this thing here and auction it off tomorrow. As for the money, our boss said he can advance you 200,000 taels. If there's any extra, it'll be sent to the Xinricheng Post Station. When you pick it up, just say it's from the Imperial Capital."

As he said that, the manager handed Jiang Yuan two silver notes with a face value of 100,000 taels.

A pile of dead bones could be worth so much money?

Jiang Yuan swallowed his saliva. It turned out that those tomb robbers were weak and didn't take any of the most valuable things.

According to Jiang Yuan's original intention, money didn't matter. The main thing was to embarrass Yang Cheng. Having 200,000 now was a complete surprise.

"If you two weren't in such a hurry to leave, our boss would like to meet you. If you come to the imperial capital in the future, you must come here."

After the steward finished speaking, Jiang Yuan clasped his hands together and said, "See you later."

The two men hurriedly disappeared into the night. Several teams of soldiers had already begun patrolling the streets.

Almost as soon as Jiang Yuan and his companions escaped from the inner city, a group of soldiers rushed over and blocked the city gate.

"It's such a big fuss. It will be enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life when I'm old!" Zhao Kai's eyes were full of excitement.

"Master, let's go quickly. Let's slip away before these people notice us!"

After leaving the inner city, Jiang Yuan was no longer in a hurry. He looked in the direction of the Yang family with a playful smile.

"Don't worry, we're not leaving through the outer city gate anyway, and we still have a big gift to give to Yang Cheng."

"Do you want to do it again?" Zhao Kai looked at Jiang Yuan in shock, his throat moving a few times.

It is estimated that Yang Baishuang is going to die. The Yang family ancestral hall was bombed and the ancestors of the Yang family were blown all over the sky. Is Jiang Yuan still not satisfied?

"Just follow me, we'll add fuel to the fire and make Yang Cheng completely famous!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and turned around to run around the outer city in search of his target.
