Chen Qiuniang returned to Chen's house, wrapped the cloth and snacks, washed her face with cold water, and went out to the back alley not far from Chen's house to look at the house.

She has been thinking about buying a house for a long time. Although a house has been built in Liucun, it is not possible to live there for a long time. The main reason is that her younger siblings are getting older and are going to start school and literacy, and she doesn't want her younger siblings to work in the village for the rest of their lives, and she also wants her sister to marry a decent person. Therefore, she wanted to buy this house in Liuhe Town, firstly, her younger brothers could go to Sifang Academy to study, and secondly, they would be closer to Chen's house, and she would be absent in the future, Mrs. Chen was a bodhisattva, and she would definitely help her take care of her younger brothers and sisters.

She said that she wanted to buy a house, and Pan Qing paid attention to it, and within two days, she heard Pan Qing say that the old Luo couple in the back alley were going to move to Chengdu Mansion and sell the house here.

Chen Qiuniang immediately sent someone to inquire and said that she wanted to buy a house. When the other party heard that it was Jiang Gongzi from Yunlai Hotel who took a fancy to their house, he was very happy, and immediately said that he would not sell it to others, but only leave it to Jiang Gongzi.

And today's afternoon is the day when Chen Qiuniang and the second elder of the Luo family agreed to look at the house. She washed her face, drank a few sips of tea, changed into a narrow-sleeved shirt of gray cloth, and went to look at the house.

The house is not on the main street, nor on the side street, only in the narrow back alley, so the paving or something, basically meaningless, the houses in the back alley are basically unpaved. The stalls are basically small shops that have been converted from the concierge, but because there are not many customers who will go, except for some old shops, such as tailor shops or something. However, it is very clean because of the small number of people, so it is a good choice as a residence.

The Luo family's house is not big, that is, the general small door of Liuhe Town, a typical Shuzhou town dwelling. The main gate is also a two-door gatehouse. The entrance to the gate is a simple photo wall, on which are some small patterns. Bypassing the wall, there is a small courtyard, there are several pomegranate trees in the yard, red and bright flowers are blooming all over the trees, and one of the trees has a well under it. Facing the wall is the hall house, two rooms on the left on both sides of the hall, the master bedroom and the main hall, the main hall with a corner for the kitchen, and the right room is the second bedroom with a corner. In the past, the left and right corners were all side rooms, and the side rooms were opposite each other, and each had two rooms that could be used as guest rooms. Behind the hall is the backyard, which has several rooms for the use of the ladies, and each bedroom is divided into an inner and outer room.

The Luo family is also a scholarly family, the home is elegantly furnished, and the Luo couple do not plan to take away the furniture. Overall, the house is good, but it costs a lot of money and requires cash. Originally, she wanted to see a few more, but there wasn't a lot of time left for her, and she wanted to do her best to do these things.

"The house is good, I'll go back and discuss it with my eldest brother, and I'll reply to you early tomorrow morning." Chen Qiuniang said to Luo Zhang, who was sent out.

Luo Zhang said with a smile: "Thanks to Jiang Gongzi's affordability, this ancestral house is blessed." ”

"Grandma Luo is polite, actually-" Chen Qiuniang pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, our money has been invested in Yunlai Hotel, and now it is not so fast to recover it." In fact, if you want to exchange the shares of the original hotel, you can do it.

Luo Zhang's eyes lit up, but he seemed to be afraid that this kind of thing was not safe, so he hesitated slightly.

Chen Qiuniang also understands that the old man always doesn't trust these things very much, and always thinks about what if it fails. Therefore, the elderly prefer real money in their pockets.

"Grandma Luo, I'm just talking, it's still real money, I'll go back and discuss with my eldest brother. After the discussion, early tomorrow morning, I will come to settle the settlement, exchange the title deed, and so on. Chen Qiuniang hurriedly said again. Because others don't know the value of Yunlai Hotel, she herself knows how valuable Yunlai Hotel shares are, and the value will get bigger and bigger.

When Luo Zhangshi heard this, his face was relieved, and he immediately said with a smile: "Ah, Jiang Gongzi is refreshing." ”

"Hey, Grandma Luo is very loving. Dan Feng went back to discuss it first. Chen Qiuniang said goodbye to the Luo family, shook the folding fan and prepared to go back to the Chen Mansion to wash her face and go to the wealthy family to have a banquet to find Ye Xuan to exchange some money, this weather is really hot, just such a short distance, and she is soaked.

She shook the folding fan, and as soon as she turned out of the back alley and entered Silk Street, she saw some people running. Someone in the tailor's shop next to me asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The stage in the center of town, there's something big going on there." Someone replied as he ran to the stage in the center of town.

There is a small square in the center of Liuhe Town by the official yamen, and a stage is built on the small square, which is not for commercial purposes, it is basically a big festival, and it is used to sing social dramas to reward the gods, which are generally paid by the government and deducted from taxes. And Pingsuri, if there is any major event in Liuhe Town, the government wants to gather the residents, they are all here. Usually there are notices or bounties.

"What's going on?" Chen Qiuniang asked a teenager who was running.

"It is said that the Zhu family caught the assassin and wanted to execute him." The boy replied, and ran around the corner with a puff of smoke.

"Huh?" Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, and the young man's words echoed in her ears, over and over again, and her heart felt chaotic.

How did you get caught? Chen Qiuniang didn't understand it very much, and she also felt that something was wrong.

Chai Yu was rescued by Zhang Ci, which can't be wrong. Zhang Ci will consider everything comprehensively, and the means used are also interlocking, and every step is properly calculated. For example, while he saved Chai Yu, he asked Aunt Yun to deal with Nian Nu, which was not only to save Chai Yu, completely break his bonds, but also to delay the search of the Zhu family.

Zhang Ci took the trouble to rescue Chai Yu, how could he be caught? Could it be that Chai Yu is out of their control, or is there something else to decide the Nine Great Families?

Chen Qiuniang was puzzled, so she also decided to go to the center of the town to find out.

She didn't care about sweating and the scorching sun, and trotted all the way to the stage in the center of town, where the square was already crowded. Originally, the town would not set up a yamen, let alone any garrison, only the mayor would collect taxes part-time and pay them to the top. Therefore, there will be no such power as executing prisoners. But Liuhe Town is different, because it is a treasure land of feng shui, and it is too prosperous, comparable to a county. So hundreds of years ago, there was a yamen here to rule over several nearby towns. Because there is a yamen, there is a quick arrest here, and it has the power to directly execute prisoners.

But even so, because Liuhe Town has Zhang Mansion here, Zhang Mansion guards the entire Liuhe Town. As a result, there is a good level of security, and not a single prisoner has been executed for hundreds of years.

Now, there has been a vicious murder incident in the Zhu family, and for a while, everyone in the town is talking about it. Later, it was announced that the Assassins would be executed, and the people came to see the excitement.

The square was crowded with the people of the town, and the square was surrounded by people from the government and the Zhu government. On the stage, the guards of the Zhu Mansion were dragging a man with a cloak, saying that he was the same party of the assassins of the Zhu Mansion and the nurse of the northern barbarian cub. This woman stabbed the son of Nian Nu in Zhu Mansion, and also poisoned the son of Nian Nu, and now the son of Nian Nu is in danger.

In view of the fact that such a bad thing has happened, which has brought shame to Liuhe Town, it is necessary to correct this evil woman on the spot and correct the law.

Only then did Chen Qiuniang understand that it was Aunt Yun who had long since died on the stage, and Zhu Wenkang was using this method to force Chai Yu to appear. He dug three feet into the ground to find out Zhangfu and Liuhe Town, but Chai Yu must also have secrets, and he can't ignore Chai Yu.

Zhu Wenkang's trick is really spicy. He knew that Aunt Yun and Chai Yu depended on each other, and Chai Yu cared about Aunt Yun's life, otherwise for so many years, if Chai Yu wanted to run, he could find countless opportunities. Now, he wants to execute Aunt Yun, even if Zhang Ci tells Sù Chai Yu that Aunt Yun has already gone. Chai Yu probably didn't believe it either, he couldn't sit back and watch Aunt Yun be beheaded.

In this way, Chai Yu may really fall into the net.

Chai Yu may be Chai Rong's favorite child, who has the most imperial potential, and has indeed received an imperial education. But after all, he accepted a cruel fate at the age of five, his father died, and the country changed hands. Under this cruel persecution, he may not be able to bear it, especially Aunt Yun is likely to be the only pillar for him to survive.

If he is captured, he may be alive, but life will definitely be difficult. With Zhu Wenkang's viciousness, in order to keep Chai Yu from running, he tried all the vicious methods, such as being an adult or something. In addition, if Zhao Kuangyin really can't find that secret army from Chai Yu, he can not be afraid of that army after his empire becomes stronger and stronger, then he can also do one thing: that is, to cut off the idea of that army and directly destroy Chai Yu.

Chai Yu is in danger at the moment. What to do? Chen Qiuniang looked at Aunt Yun who was paralyzed on the stage with her hair scattered, and her heart seemed to have put a huge stone to press her out of breath.

How can I help him? Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but look around and saw that the few people who were following her were not far away. At this moment, she couldn't do anything at all, not even retreat from this square.

I have to find a way to let Chai Yu know that Aunt Yun is dead, this is a trap. Chen Qiuniang was so anxious that she couldn't find a clue for a while.

"Prisoners are usually executed at three o'clock in the afternoon." There was a guy talking to himself next to him.

"Why at three o'clock in the afternoon?" The other asked.

"Ah, you don't know? Death row prisoners were all extremely vicious in their lives, and if they were to be executed at three o'clock in the afternoon when the yang energy was in full swing, they would not be able to turn into powerful ghosts and endanger the world. The man replied.

Chen Qiuniang overheard the conversation between the two and suddenly felt enlightened. She can't do anything, and Zhang Ci can't do anything. But there is something that the people can do to protect their own interests. Even if the responsibility is to be pursued in the end, the law will not hold the public accountable.

"Yes, this execution of the prisoner, if the time is not right, will be fierce and bring disaster to Liuhe Town. If this kind of murderer turns into a powerful ghost, even the host of Qingquan Temple may not be able to handle it. Chen Qiuniang immediately joined the conversation and fanned the flames on the side.

When a few more people heard this, they immediately felt that it made sense, and began to talk to each other. Then she said: "Moreover, how can the execution of prisoners be on the stage of social drama? This social opera stage is a place to worship the gods and welcome the gods to the earth. Executing a prisoner here would be a natural disaster. ”

The people around agreed one after another, and those who didn't hear clearly from a little further asked what was going on, and the messenger explained again. All of a sudden, the crowd in the square began to stir, whispering to each other.

Chen Qiuniang was still watching people's reactions in the crowd, ready to make another surprise at any time.

"But the family is the government, it's the Zhu family." Someone is worried.

"No matter how big the official family is, can it manage natural disasters? If a natural disaster comes, it is the common people who suffer. I have to find a way to let them be executed on another day, and they can't be on this social drama stage. Chen Qiuniang said immediately. After finishing speaking, waiting for those people to discuss, she changed her position and listened to the decisions of these people.

The final result was that someone said: "You should go to the Zhang family and let Mrs. Zhang come forward." ”

Someone volunteered to run out to find Mrs. Zhang, but after a while, she came back and said that Mrs. Zhang met in person and said that the government meant, and the Zhu family exerted pressure again, even if she talked about it, it would be useless.

"What then?" People were anxious.

"Old Madam Zhang is naturally useless when she speaks alone. That's because the government hasn't heard the meaning of the townspeople. Let's all express our intentions to the government. Chen Qiuniang came at the right time.

"That's right, we have to express ourselves, and we can't always embarrass Mrs. Zhang." Someone chimed in.

Chen Qiuniang felt for a moment that the consciousness of the residents of Liuhe Town was really high, and she was almost so excited that she burst into tears. But the group then discussed that they would find someone to hold a meeting, and Pan Fuzi, a respected Sifang Academy, would negotiate.

It's been the year of the monkey since this negotiation came back. Chen Qiuniang immediately said: "When we finish our discussion, everyone and everyone will be killed, is this discussion still useful?" If you want me to say, let's just shout in protest. ”

"yes." Some people felt that what Chen Qiuniang said was reasonable, and immediately agreed. But then someone asked: "What if we protest like this and the government arrests us?" ”

"The law does not blame the public. So many people have been arrested? It's not a rebellion, it's just a change of time and place for them to be executed. Besides, it is not proper for them to execute them like this. Chen Qiuniang immediately answered for everyone.

Everyone agreed, and then a new question was thrown out, saying: "If the Zhu family refuses, the government can't do anything." ”

"That's simple, everyone go up together, get rid of the executioner, the more people the better. We can't let everyone suffer from natural disasters. Chen Qiuniang said again.

The crowd thought this was the truth, and some people shouted: "Oppose the execution of prisoners here, oppose the execution of prisoners at this hour." "At first, there were a few sporadic voices, and then in the incitement of those few liaison officers, the whole square was full of opposing voices.

This superstition is sometimes very ignorant, and sometimes it is very useful. Chen Qiuniang was slightly relieved to see the opposition to the protest in the square getting bigger and bigger.

She hid in the crowd and slowly squeezed towards the stage, and she had to continue to control this huge protest, and give this conspiracy a blow at a critical moment. RS
