Chapter 256 Battle with Xiaoliu
Jiang Yunxi ignored the people following behind him and just followed He Yun out of the capital. "Have you ever asked a Feng Shui master to look at your new house?"
"I've seen it. That piece of land was chosen for our family by a Feng Shui master. He said it was a Feng Shui treasure land. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to build a new house there." He Yun said.
Originally, building a house was a happy thing, and moving into a new home was even more of a joyous occasion. But who would have thought that after living in the new house happily, not long after, accidents would happen one after another at home.
The nice new house feels like a death warrant, and the family is even more unlucky.
"Which three people died?" Jiang Yunxi continued to ask.
"Grandpa, my father-in-law, and the eldest brother from the first house." He Yun felt nervous when she said this, mainly because the old man, father-in-law, and eldest brother were usually in good health.
He died suddenly, which is quite strange to think about.
"All men?" Jiang Yunxi raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I am the daughter-in-law of the second wife, and I am worried about my husband..." He Yun's voice trembled a little when she said the last part.
Jiang Yunxi glanced at her and asked, "How did they die?"
He Yun said with a sad expression: "My grandfather was working in the fields when he suddenly collapsed and died. My father-in-law went hunting in the mountains and fell off a cliff and died. My eldest brother drowned while draining water from the fish pond during a heavy rain at night."
Jiang Yunxi frowned, "Are you sure they all died like this?"
"Well, I consulted the village doctor at that time, and he didn't say it was homicide. Later, the villagers said that it must be the bad feng shui of our new house. That's why I thought of asking you for help to see if it was a problem with the house." He Yun sighed.
She was afraid of more deaths.
If anyone dies again, this family will collapse.
"I'll know after I see your house." Jiang Yunxi said lightly. Feng shui is a small problem for her. She can tell at a glance whether someone has tampered with it.
"Thank you, Miss Jiang." He Yun said gratefully.
"How far is Dongxi Village?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"It's about twenty-five miles, a bit far, but don't worry, Miss Jiang. There is an inn not far ahead. You can rent a carriage there. It's cheaper than in the capital." He Yun said a little embarrassedly.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
After arriving at the inn, she couldn't help but praise the inn owner for being a business genius. Looking at the flow of customers, the business was extremely good.
For people living around the capital, this is the best choice. Food and accommodation are cheaper than in the capital, and it doesn’t take long to walk from here to the capital, which can save a lot of money.
Although the fees are not expensive, you can still make a lot of money because of the large volume.
"Can you ride a horse?" Jiang Yunxi asked. Twenty-five miles was a bit far. Even with the fastest speed of an ancient horse-drawn carriage, it would take about an hour and a half. By the time they arrived at Dongxi Village, it was dark.
When she decided to go to the He family's house to check the feng shui, she asked a commoner to go to Prince Han's Mansion and tell him about her trip to Dongxi Village. Even if she didn't go back tonight, Zhan Beiyuan would not think she was missing.
"No, I won't..." He Yun shook her head.
"I'll ride on horseback to Dongxi Village to see your house first, and you can take a car back." Jiang Yunxi made the decision quickly. Riding a horse is so fast that it can save a lot of time.
"I'll help you rent a horse." Although He Yun felt sorry for the money, she heard that Miss Jiang was very capable, so she didn't dare to neglect her.
"No need, I'll do it myself. You can take your car and go first. I will definitely get there before you on horseback. I still have to go to the toilet." After saying this, Jiang Yunxi walked into the inn.
As soon as she entered, she saw maps placed on the wooden shelf next to her. The boss really knew how to do business.
She went to the toilet and then went to pick a horse.
"Girl, do you want to rent a cheap horse or an expensive horse? We have both here." The waiter promoted enthusiastically.
"The one that runs fast." Jiang Yunxi said. She rode a horse just to save time.
The waiter understood and took her to another stable where the horses were tall and mighty.
Jiang Yunxi looked at the horses row by row, but none of them caught her eye. Suddenly, her eyes stopped on a bay horse in the stable next door. "I want this horse."
"Miss, this, this won't work..." The waiter had an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Isn't it in the stable? I want to buy it!" Jiang Yunxi said generously. At just one glance, she felt that this horse could run very fast and even felt that it had intelligence.
When the waiter heard her say she wanted to buy it, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, "This, this really won't do..."
"Why not? Aren't you in business? Go talk to your manager." Jiang Yunxi still didn't give up. It was rare for her to get something she wanted, so naturally she had to buy it.
Seeing that she was determined to get it, the waiter had to run to find the manager.
"What? Someone wants to buy my horse?" A young man shouted loudly in a house in the backyard of the inn.
"Master, that girl threatened to buy your horse, and she seemed to be determined to do so." The shopkeeper said helplessly. He had originally asked the waiter to send her away.
Then the waiter came back and said that she had money.
"She has good taste. I'll go and take a look." After saying that, the man picked up the mask on the table and put it on, then stood up and walked outside.
The shopkeeper quickly caught up. The girl really had good taste. She didn't like any other horses but only liked the master's horse. If the master hadn't come today, she really wouldn't have seen that horse.
When the man was about to reach the stable, a woman in plain clothes was touching the horse he had ridden today with her back to him. What happened? His horse didn't attack her!
"I heard you want to buy my horse?"
When Jiang Yunxi heard the familiar voice, she quickly turned around and saw a man in dark blue clothes. Although the man was wearing a mask, she still guessed who he was.
When Zhan Luochen saw the woman turning around, his eyes widened bigger than copper bells. Why was it her?
He quickly looked around but did not see the emperor's uncle.
Why did she come here alone?
And buy his horse!
"Zhan Xiaoliu, why are you here?" Jiang Yunxi did not call him by his name directly. He wore a mask because he did not want to reveal his identity.
Hearing the three words "Zhan Xiaoliu", Zhan Luochen's face twitched. He motioned the shopkeeper to go down first. He walked towards her quickly, "You, how did you recognize me?"
He pointed to the mask on his face.
"I can't see your face, but I can recognize your voice." Jiang Yunxi smiled. After all, they had said so much, she could still recognize his voice.
Zhan Luochen's mouth twitched slightly. "Why are you here?"
Jiang Yunxi pointed at the chestnut horse in the stable and said, "I want to buy it. How much is it?"
"I'm giving it to you. If I take your money, the emperor's uncle will definitely make things difficult for me." Zhan Luochen said in a very polite tone.
"I won't take your things for nothing." Jiang Yunxi knew that this horse was worth a lot of money.
Zhan Luochen thought for a moment and said, "I bought that house and am currently renovating it. How about you help me choose a good day for the opening and arrange the feng shui for me? This horse will be my reward."
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi thought this was the best way, as neither of them would suffer any loss.
"Where are you going? Why are you alone?" Zhan Luochen was now certain that she came out alone.
