Chapter 136 Whoever stops her will be rewarded with 5 copper coins
The woman who had just cursed was so frightened that she quickly stepped back when she saw this. But when she thought of the fact that Shen Ruolan had committed more than 20 murders, she instantly became bolder. She pointed at Shen Ruolan and said loudly to the surrounding villagers: "Dear fellow villagers, you don't know the origin of this Shen, right? Today I will tell you all the things she has done."
When the woman said this, she looked at Shen Ruolan with anger on her face and said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, do you know? On the day when it started to rain last month, this woman killed 21 people in our village. We went to Cangling City to file a complaint, but the county magistrate said that we had it all to ourselves. Those were 21 lives! I don't believe that this Shen had no connection with the county magistrate."
"Yes, maybe her bastard of unknown origin is the county magistrate..." Before the other woman could finish her words, Shen Ruolan slapped her in the face, making her scream.
Shen Ruolan then grabbed her chin, took out a dagger from her bosom with her other hand, and without saying a word, put it into the mouth of the woman who had just spoken. When it came out, a piece of red, soft meat fell out.
"Ah..." The woman rolled on the ground in pain after her tongue was cut.
When the woman who had scolded Shen Ruolan at the beginning saw this, she was so scared that she turned around and ran away.
Shen Ruolan hurriedly shouted, "Whoever stops her will be rewarded with 500 copper coins."
When the villagers present heard that there was a reward, they quickly surrounded the woman.
Seeing Shen Ruolan getting closer and closer to her, she said to Shen Ruolan in a panic: "Madam Shen, please forgive me, I was wrong."
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Shen Ruolan to hit her, but raised her hands consciously and hit herself on both sides of her cheek.
But Shen Ruolan didn't buy her story. She walked up to the woman, raised her hands and slapped her on both sides of her face, and said coldly: "It seems that the twenty people who died that night have not taught your village how to behave."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she raised the dagger and said to the woman, "Why didn't you tell everyone that your Xiaonan Village and Daqu Village colluded with the Third Prince of Xia Country to kill the meritorious citizens of your country, and that's why the county magistrate of Cangling City didn't accept your case?"
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she thrust the dagger into the woman's mouth, forcibly cut off half of her tongue, and pushed her away with a palm, saying coldly: "This is the result of your bad mouth."
After Shen Ruolan finished dealing with the woman, she glanced coldly at the villagers present and warned them sternly: "In the future, if I hear her slandering my reputation and that of my child again, it won't be as simple as cutting off her tongue..."
Shen Ruolan paused for a moment and added, "I want to cut off the tongues of his family."
The villagers, who had already been frightened by Shen Ruolan's cruelty, couldn't help but gasp after hearing her next words. This Miss Shen was really extremely cruel.
When the other villagers from Xiaonan Village saw that their fellow villagers had their tongues cut off, they dared not stay any longer and hurried back carrying their belongings.
The two women whose tongues were cut looked at Shen Ruolan with viciousness on their faces, then carried their things and left.
After the annoying person left, Shen Ruolan continued to collect catkins.
On the evening of the next day, Village Chief Wu and the villagers brought back three cloth shop owners and nearly a thousand kilograms of various seeds before dark.
As soon as he entered Shen Ruolan's yard, he introduced them to her excitedly: "Madam Shen, these are the three bosses of the cloth business in Cangling City, Boss Li, Boss Chen, and Boss Wang. Because the goods they have do not meet your requirements, they all want to come and have a good talk with you."
After Shen Ruolan heard what Village Chief Wu said, she smiled and said to the bosses, "Boss Li, Boss Chen, Boss Wang, please come in."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she said to Village Chief Wu and the others, "Uncle Village Chief, you have worked hard on the way. Come in and have a cup of hot water."
Village Chief Wu knew that Shen Ruolan was going to discuss business with several bosses, so he took the lead and said to Shen Ruolan tactfully, "Madam Shen, if there is nothing else, we will go back first. If you have anything to say later, just send someone to let me know."
"Okay, Uncle Wu, take care." Shen Ruolan was very satisfied with Village Chief Wu's tact. After all, she was going to discuss business with several bosses later, and she didn't like having outsiders present.
The bosses were a little surprised to see that the person they were discussing business with was actually a plain-looking woman. However, despite being surprised, they still politely said to Shen Ruolan, "Thank you, Madam Shen."
After they finished talking, they stepped into Shen Ruolan's yard. However, when they saw that Shen Ruolan had bought a large amount of reed flowers and a pile of things that looked like iron lumps, they looked at each other tacitly, and they all wondered in their hearts, could it be that Madam Shen was helping other countries to stock up on supplies?
Shen Ruolan saw the expressions of the people. She knew what they were thinking. She came up to them and said with a smile, "Bosses, you must be wondering why there are so many things in my yard."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she walked to the farm tools, opened a pocket, took out a set of farm tools from it, and explained to the bosses generously: "These are all farm tools piled in my yard. As for why I bought so many farm tools, it's because I took in a lot of homeless refugees, so these farm tools are the foundation of everyone's livelihood."
After explaining the farm tools, Shen Ruolan opened a bag of reed fluff and said to them, "Because the weather is getting colder, the refugees have no bedding, so I bought a lot of reed fluff to make bedding for everyone. It's the same as buying your cloth."
After listening to Shen Ruolan's explanation, several bosses couldn't help but look at her with a higher opinion. Several of them gave her a thumbs up and said sincerely, "Mrs. Shen is a hero among women. I admire her."
Shen Ruolan smiled modestly at the bosses and said, "Thank you for your praise, bosses. Ruolan is just doing what she can do."
As they were talking, they came to the main hall. Ji Ning came over with a tray and said to the bosses, "Bosses, please have some water."
Several bosses nodded to Ji Ning, took the hot water and started drinking.
After they finished drinking the water, they asked Shen Ruolan, "Madam Shen, the total amount of cloth we have is about 70,000 pieces. Can you eat all of it?"
If they can sell all the cloth they have this year, business would not be too bad. Of course, that depends on Shen Ruolan's offer.
When Shen Ruolan heard that they had 70,000 pieces of cloth, 10,000 more than the budget, she hesitated for a moment and said to them, "I want to eat it, but I don't know what price you bosses will give me."
