In a deserted alley near the Bishui Town Government Office, the Village Chief tucked away the property and land deeds before pulling a tightly wrapped parcel of silver from his robes.
"Here. The deal is done." The Village Chief couldn't stop the smile from spreading across his face.
Although he had paid not only a scribe's fee but also an additional 150 copper coins in property tax, it was nothing to the Village Chief.
Qi Suian glanced at the parcel and casually tucked it into his own robes.
This time, it actually fit. Fifteen taels of silver wasn't too much to carry.
He then took the silver, planning to pass through Bishui Town on his way to a more prosperous place.
For that, he would need to find a caravan. Traveling on his own would not be easy.
A map was out of the question. Such things weren't easily circulated and could only be bought from specific people, not sold openly.
As for the price, fifteen taels of silver certainly wouldn't be enough.
