Once she was sure Song Jingzhou was far away, Su Qingci slipped out of the farm.

In the stinking pond, Wang Jingtao was floating face down, clearly dead.

A look of disgust flashed in Su Qingci's eyes as she listened to what Guangzong Yaozu meant.

Su Meifang's attack on her parents and herself this time is also related to him. He has also repeatedly attacked Guangzong Yaozu, wanting to kill him.

From their brief exchange, Su Qingci easily deduced that Wang Jingtao might have switched identities with Song Jingzhou, just like in the TV series.

Isn't he the real Song Yaozu? The bullet incident at the engineering research institute that Guangzong Yaozu mentioned before was probably his doing.

No wonder Old Man Song from Gaotang Brigade dared to treat Song Jingzhou like that; it turns out there was a hidden story behind it all.

This explains why Guangzong Yaozu had repeatedly and seriously reminded himself to be careful of Wang Jingtao.

As if she had thought of something, Su Qingci waved her small hand towards the stinking pond, and Wang Jingtao's body was instantly taken into the farm.

She was afraid that something might go wrong in the middle. Since Song Jingzhou had clashed with him several times, it was impossible that he hadn't left any clues.

Let's just make him disappear without a trace. Even if his body is found, it shouldn't be here.

Because, today, both she and Guangzong Yaozu came to Xijiekou, which is an undeniable fact.

Song Jingzhou kept his head down and cautiously made his way through several alleys before finally blending into the crowd and relaxing, walking briskly forward.

Su Qingci rode her bicycle slowly through the alley. The alley was a maze of branches, and every single one seemed exactly the same.

Just as Su Qingci was completely confused, Song Jingzhou came looking for her.

"Qingci, Qingci, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to go to the yard first?"

Su Qingci looked puzzled. "I want to too! I'm looking for it right now. I remember coming from the west and then turning at an intersection."

Song Jingzhou shook his head helplessly, "It's over. At this rate, you'll never come home again."

"Turn at the intersection, turn in! Isn't the intersection still ahead? We haven't even reached the end yet, why are you looking for the intersection?"

Su Qingci slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, look at my brain! I was wondering why something was wrong. I clearly remember it being the second to last alley from the far west."

Song Jingzhou took the bicycle from Su Qingci. "I'll do it. Hurry up, Dachang has been waiting for ages!"

"Whose fault is it? It's all yours! You couldn't even hold your pee for this short distance. People say you can tell your kidney function by how well you can hold your pee, but you're not even old enough to do that yet!"

"Suzhou porcelain!!!"

"what!"

When the two arrived at the courtyard house, Dachang had already opened the door and was waiting.

"Brother Song, Sister Su."

Su Qingci said apologetically, "Large Intestine, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Chang Dazhi scratched his head sheepishly, "It's nothing, I'm just killing time anyway."

Su Qingci went inside and took a look. Good heavens, compared to the area around Jiaxi Alley, the land here has almost been scraped away.

The place was completely empty, with nothing left. In one room, the glass in the window had been removed, and the middle room was even more terrifying, as the door was gone.

Su Qingci's lips twitched, and she pointed at the windows and door, looking at Dachang with a questioning gaze, "They took down all the windows? They didn't even leave a door? Why didn't they remove the poop from the toilet?"

"Sister, the poop has been removed, it's been cleaned out completely."

"What?"

Dachang awkwardly explained, "Sister, it's like this, the previous Uncle Ge never received the rent, so he wasn't responsible for maintenance. Two of the panes of glass in this window are broken, and the tenant paid for them to be installed himself."

"The other door here was also a new one they replaced. They were going to take it with them when they moved. We even went to see Old Man Ge about it, and it's definitely his. There were people from the neighborhood committee and the housing management bureau there, so we had no reason to confiscate his things..."

"So, I'm really sorry."

Su Qingci looked at Dachang's ashamed expression, and it didn't seem like he was lying.

"Never mind, it's just two panes of glass for a door, I'll install it myself."

"What I find strange is that when they moved, they actually took all the poop from the toilet? That's a good thing for me!"

Dachang laughed out loud at Su Qingci's teasing words.

"Sister, they sold it to the night soil collectors. You may not know, but there are all kinds of night soil factories behind Andingmen. In the whole capital, there are more than a thousand night soil collectors who go from street to street to collect night soil."

Su Qingci's eyes widened. She thought that excrement was valuable in the countryside, but it turns out that it can be sold for money in a big city like Kyoto?

Seeing Su Qingci's surprised expression, Dachang explained, "The manure collectors push wheelbarrows to collect the manure, which is then processed at the manure factory. After being mixed with ash, stirred, and dried, it is finally made into dried manure and sold to farmers in the suburbs."

Su Qingci nodded, having learned something new; this was just like fertilizer from later generations.

I went into the room and saw that all three rooms had a living room, and two of the rooms had side rooms. So it was like two small two-bedroom apartments and one one-bedroom apartment.

Su Qingci was very satisfied with this layout; it was spacious, large, transparent, and offered good privacy.

Taking the key from Dachang, Su Qingci handed over the fifty yuan for clearing the area and then took out another ten yuan.

"Alright, thank you. Here's the fifty yuan clearing fee I promised you, plus ten yuan. You've all worked hard these past few days, consider this my treat for you brothers to a meal."

Big Intestine grinned so wide his eyes disappeared. He knew that this Comrade Su was generous. It was worth it for Honey Badger to lose money to make this deal.

"Of course, of course, then I won't stand on ceremony. I thank you on behalf of my brothers!"

After taking the money, Dachang followed Su Qingci hesitantly, "Um, sister, do you need to hire a cleaner for your house?"

"Well, um, I was just asking."

Su Qingci glanced around the yard, then turned back with a smile, "We really need to do this."

Dachang beamed, "Sister, look at me."

Su Qingci almost burst out laughing when she saw Dachang's fawning expression.

"Just like last time, use the cleaning water I prepared to wipe down the doorway, facade, walls, and everything else in this house. Also, clean those two windows and that door. Is that alright?"

Dachang's eyes lit up. "No problem, I guarantee I'll do a perfect job for you."

"The work to be done in this yard is not like the previous yard, which involved cabinets, furniture, and firewood. But you do need to fix this coal shed for me."

Su Qingci quickly calculated, "I'll give you two yuan for cleaning and repairing the coal shed, and another two yuan for fixing the glass and door. You can go buy the things; I'll give you the money later."
