The fat servant kowtowed quickly, "Thank you for the reward, Master!"
He lowered his head, the man in black he had just met flashed through his mind, and he gritted his teeth. He made the right bet!
What the man in black said was indeed true!
Taking a risk for a moment will bring you wealth and glory for a lifetime. This deal is worth it!
At this time, outside the Feng family's courtyard, Xie Ling, dressed in black, saw that the fat servant had indeed told Feng Yunliang what she said, and Feng Yunliang believed it, so she turned and left.
Sometimes, the role of little people cannot be ignored.
Because they can often have a fatal effect.
Xie Ling understood everyone's psychology.
The fat servant wanted to fly high and be rich and famous.
Feng Yunliang had always suspected the Si family, and now the fat servant's words only confirmed his guess.
Xie Ling walked into Jinling Lane and happened to meet Gu Wei who was returning from the county government office.
Xie Ling asked: "What did the little yamen runner tell you?"
Gu Wei looked solemn, "He said that people have been disappearing and dying frequently in Jinling Lane for decades. People in Lingnan are superstitious, so the houses here are relatively cheap and few people live there.
When he was young, his family was poor, and his parents did not believe in superstition, so they took him and his whole family to live in the house. On the 15th day of the first lunar month, he dug a hole in the ground to play, and when he came back, his whole family was dead, and only his grandmother who crawled down the hole to find him was still dying.
He quickly took his grandmother away from the hole and found something to cover it up. But from then on, his parents disappeared in Sinan County, and all the household registration documents disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Xie Ling frowned, "Did he tell you which house he lived in before?"
"Yes. It's at No. 28 Jinling Lane."
"Go and have a look."
The two walked around the desolate street twice and arrived at the door of No. 28 Jinling Lane.
It looked ordinary, no different from the surrounding streets. The door was covered with thick dust, and when the wind blew, the big trees in the yard rustled.
Gu Wei kicked it and the wooden board broke into pieces, revealing a desolate inner courtyard.
It was exactly the same as what the young yamen runner had said: a big, lush tree, a dead well, and three small houses.
Gu Wei walked to the center of the yard, stepped down with his feet, and indeed felt a different vibration.
He picked up a hoe beside him and knocked it down, lifting up a thick wooden board and revealing a dark hole in the ground.
"It seems that what the bailiff said is true."
Xie Ling was puzzled, "Then why are there still people living in Jinling Lane?"
Gu Wei's eyes were deep, "Maybe there is some secret that cannot be told, so the matter of Jinling Lane has not been made public.
The yamen runner told me that he had been keeping an eye on what was happening in Jinling Lane since his parents died, and he discovered that every July 15th, when the moon was full, everyone in the lane would die tragically.
Xie Ling frowned, "Today is the 12th... there are only three days left!"
Gu Wei nodded, "So we have to find out whether it is the Feng family or the Si family who is behind this. That plan has to be brought forward."
When the two returned home, Ji Ke was sawing wood with great enthusiasm. His two strong arms were waving in the air and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Liao Qizhu, who was standing nearby, was carving delicate patterns on each piece of furniture, holding the knife with a focused look.
Temporary worker Jiangxue was mixing paints.
This is wood lacquer made from a kind of crushed red larvae and added with special fuel.
This is Liao Qizhu’s unique secret. When applied on wood, it becomes glossy and shiny, and is cold and moisture-proof. It is very practical and beautiful.
Xie Ling and Gu Wei did not dare to disturb them and quietly walked around through the corridor at the side.
Jiangxue had sharp ears and eyes, and she spotted the two people who had sneaked back. She took a look and quickly lowered her head. Her slender white hands holding the stone pestle reflected the bright red paint, creating a strong visual impact.
He has always been silent, like a shadow in the darkness, and only appears when he is needed.
Gu Wei and Xie Ling didn't call the three of them until dinner time.
Ji Ke scratched his head, his handsome face showing a bit of embarrassment, "Is there still a share for me?"
Liao Qizhu slapped him on the head, "Why are you embarrassed? The General's house is your home!"
Gu Wei chuckled, "Yes. Forget about eating. If you're bored living alone, I'll prepare a room for you and you can move in with us."
Ji Ke blinked, "Really?"
Gu Wei nodded, "Of course it's true, but we have to wait until the storm has passed."
Ji Ke was overjoyed, "Thank you, General! Hehe, I really want to live with Uncle Qizhu and Xiao Maomao."
Xiao Maomao is Liao Qizhu's nephew.
The meal was lively and joyful.
As Ji Ke drank, two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, which he quickly wiped away.
I thought there would never be days like this in my life.
After dinner, Gu Wei returned to the room and said to Xie Ling, "Ji Ke is a good horse breeder, top-notch in Beijiang. The horses in your space are almost done, you can take them out and give them to Ji Ke for training. Good horses must be trained, and it is not a good thing to keep them in the space all the time."
Xie Ling nodded, "Okay. I'm still thinking about how to deal with the horse in the space, I'm relieved to leave it to Ji Ke."
After talking, the two changed into night clothes, one went to Feng's house, and the other went to Si's house.
The plan begins.
Si family.
Xie Ling went straight to the storeroom and started working as usual, without taking time to look closely, she swept up all the gold, silver and jewellery and put them into the space.
On the other side, Gu Wei smashed most of the Feng family’s shops on the street, and then tore off a piece of clothes from a sleeping Feng family servant.
