Chapter 20 - 12 Suppliers_2
He's truly worthy of having studied and passed the exam to become a scholar. This Old Fourth really managed to make a living out of the dead!
After this little interlude, Xu Qing's thoughts began to wander. So, he decided to inquire with Lord Li Si to see if there were any channels in the area for selling dead bodies. As long as there was stock, he could take them all.
As for the price, it could be negotiated.
Upon hearing this, Lord Li Si's breath hitched again. This Shopkeeper Xu was a bit wild!
"I must have been blind, not realizing that Shopkeeper Xu is indeed a master."
Previously, there had been rumors in Linhe District about the Corpse Worker Mill. Although the officials had suppressed those rumors, it didn't mean there was no truth to them!
As an official broker, Lord Li Si naturally knew some secrets.
Perhaps this pale young man in front of him was indeed involved in the ghostly profession or had connections with insiders!
"Shopkeeper Xu, I have heard a bit about the business you're interested in. The charity inns outside that transport and store bodies engage in such trades. An ownerless corpse generally goes for about one hundred to five hundred coins.
During the autumn executions, people also collect corpses at the Government Office, but you need to have arrangements in place beforehand since complete bodies and beheaded ones fetch different prices."
At this point, Lord Li Si couldn't help but show a grimace. Despite his vast knowledge, he wasn't deeply familiar with the side-path, ghostly matters.
