Liu Lianjiang was also beside me and looked into the courtyard. Liu Lianjiang asked me, "Young Master. Look how strange it is in that yard. How to dig holes everywhere."

I also find it strange. There are several large mounds of dirt in the yard. It's been a long time since there were people here. What is that soil? And I don't know how to do any engineering. It happened that Xiao Er came over to deliver tea. I called him over and asked, "Little brother. Look at that yard over there. How many piles of dirt in it. What's going on in there?"

Xiao Er looked over there and said, "Guest officer. You're talking about Cai's house. I don't know. I only hear from people. It's unstable. There are always people crying inside. There are also people who have seen ghosts. So no one in there ever went in. As for the mounds of dirt. It's been around for years. Now the grass is yellow in autumn. Only then did I see that it was a mound of earth. If the summer is overgrown with grass. You can't see the pile."

"Little brother. Why is this mansion called Cai Mansion?"

"You don't know, guest officer. The owner of this mansion turned out to be Cai Jing's godson. The original surname was Jiang. Because of the knot Cai Jing. I even changed my surname. It also makes people call this Xiao Cai's house. Until the fall of Cai Jing. This little Cai Mansion has just fallen. was seized. No one has come to stay in years."

Sent away the little two. I took a closer look at the yard again. Because it's far away. It's not very clear either. It's just that these piles of dirt stand out in the yard. Someone 'got it'. Could it be that he was looking for something to dig when he was raiding his house? I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time. I don't think about it anymore. Anyway, you can go in in the afternoon. Let's talk about it then.

I asked for a few dishes and Liu Lianjiang ate them. I didn't ask for wine. Because it's still early. We weren't in a hurry to get out. You can see the mansion here. I also know when the people sent by Feng Bao will arrive.

After the time of a stick of incense. A squad of soldiers came from the street. And a dozen eunuchs. In front of the 'gate' of Xiao Cai's house. A eunuch stepped forward and opened the door, and then the soldiers had entered the gate, and the big door was closed from the inside. Look at the outfits of those soldiers. It should still be the team of the Divine Army.

This group of soldiers carried not only weapons but also shovels and other tools. When they entered, there was a eunuch who was pointing fingers at the soldiers. It seems to be arranging work. Wait for the eunuch to finish commanding. The soldiers were divided into four teams. Three teams gathered around the three piles of dirt and began to shovel the soil. There is also a team led by a eunuch. Went somewhere else. Because that Xiao Cai's house is the courtyard of Sanjin. The back ones are waiting in the room and can't be seen.

Liu Lianjiang asked me, "Young Master, should we go in. Now here they are. Let's go in and see how it goes."

"Don't be in a hurry. I'll see what the hell they're doing."

An hour has passed. The soil was also bulldozed and filled into the pit by the soldiers. I just took Liu Lianjiang downstairs. Got the money for the wine and the food; Let's go out and walk to Xiao Cai's house.

Arrived at the 'gate' of the house. Liu Lianjiang went up and knocked on the 'door' and knocked for a long time before a voice came from inside: "Who? Knock what knock. I don't know if this is a forbidden area."

Liu Lianjiang also said unceremoniously: "What a forbidden area. Landan is here. Now this is our ya's 'door', hurry up and open the 'door'."

Inside, I heard Liu Lianjiang say that it was a Lan person. He hesitated and said, "Then please wait a minute. I'll go to my grandfather and ask for instructions."

Then there was no sound inside. I waited for half an hour. The man still didn't come back. Liu Lianjiang went up and knocked on the 'door' again, and this time he knocked for a long time but there was no reply. I asked Liu Lianjiang to stop first. Knock it out in vain. I don't know what I'm doing inside. Another half hour passed. Only then did I see the big 'door' open from the inside. Out came a eunuch in his forties. Because there are too many eunuchs in the palace. and scattered in every temple; So I don't know this person.

The man saw me standing in front of the 'door' in my official uniform. I took two steps forward and came to me. Shi Li said: "This is Lord Lan."

I didn't return the favor. Just replied coldly: "It's me. That's what my father-in-law called it."

"Lord Lan. The small one is called Li Yun. It was Gonggong Feng's seat that did chores. Today Grandpa Feng asked me to come and clean up here. Tell me I'm going to clean it up. in order to let the Lan people in. Just now the little one was cleaning inside. So you Lan Daren waited for a long time. The little one is here to make amends to the Lan people."

I didn't blame anything more. After all, what people say is also reasonable. I said to the eunuch, "Thank you. Is it packed up now. I can go in and have a look."

"Lord Lan. It's still being cleaned up inside. Because it's been too long. So it's hard to clean. But you, Lord Lan, want to check it out. I'll go with Lord Lan to have a look. I'm afraid it's too dirty inside. Dirty Lan Daren's new official uniform."

"It's fine. Let's ask Gonggong Li to take the official to have a look."

Then Li Yun came to lead the way. Liu Lianjiang and I followed into the compound. There are several soldiers in the yard clearing weeds. Walk through the courtyard into the lobby of the first house. This lobby is really good. It's because it's been a long time and there are cobwebs everywhere. There are also a lot of bird droppings scattered on the ground. The windows are also broken. Li Yun said to me, "Lord Lan. This house can be used if it is repaired. I'm afraid it's going to take a bit of work. I'm just here to clean you up. As for repairs. It seems that Lord Lan still has to go to the Ministry of Industry. I've sent a craftsman."

"Thank you Gonggong Li for the reminder. I'll go tomorrow to ask for a decree. Let's take a look at the back."

The lobby has a back. We came through the back 'door' to the second entrance to the courtyard. The mound in the yard that I just saw has been destroyed by the soldiers. Filled. Now those soldiers. It's also cleaning up the dead grass and dead trees. There are quite a few to clean up in the house. Li Yun introduced: "Lord Lan. This courtyard is the original inner house of Xiao Cai's house. It's all family and hospitality as well as a study. There are more than 30 rooms in this courtyard. Do you want to go in and have a look?"

I don't think it's going to be very clean anymore. also refused Li Yun's request to go in and have a look. Then come to the third courtyard. This yard is a small two-story building. I asked Li Yun: "Why is it that Gonggong Li's courtyard is on the second floor. It's not the same as before."

"Lord Lan. This is where the 'daughters' of Xiao Cai's Mansion live. In the past, when this Cai 'waiter' Lang lived here. There are more than a dozen concubines. And 'female' or something. Can't live. So it's all built on two floors."

I casually walked to the 'door' of a room and opened it to take a look. There is no dilapidation of the houses in front of it. But it's also cobwebbed.' Doors' windows are not bad. No need to change. Wipe it down and you're good to go.

Li Yun said to me, "Lord Lan. This house was the last to be built. Less than a year after the cover was made. Cai 'waiting' Lang fell. So the 'doors' and windows here are all good. It's because of the late build. The front ones are all old houses. So it's a little bit rundown."

"It's fine. We're going to move in. It's still going to be cleaned up. It's just that I'm looking 'pretty big' on the outside. How do you feel like a lot of houses?"

"Lord Lan. There is also a 'flower' garden at the back. Let's take a look."

Follow Li Yun. Walk through the 'gate' of the moon and behind it is a wide open space. Look at this area, it covers more than the previous area. No wonder I look at such a big yard. Not many houses. The yard was littered with stumps and leaves. Most of the leaves are dead. There is only yellow thatch on the ground. There are also two pavilions. It's also dilapidated. Follow the path and go inside. Got to the pavilion. There is also a one-acre square pond. On the water surface of the pond. Covered with leaves. There are also a few lotus leaves. Half-yellow and half-green are swaying. Although this 'flower' garden has been dilapidated. If it is corrected. Still a nice place.

Li Yun, who was following him, asked, "Lord Lan. I'm happy with it."

"'Pretty good'. It's just a bit of effort. No one has lived for so many years. It's all grassland."

"yes. Lan people. We don't have time to pack up here. We just packed up the front and it was time to go back. I left the key to Landa-sama. You can go and 'deal' with the Ministry of Works."

"Thank you, Grandpa Li. When I went back to the descendants, I thanked Gonggong Feng. Let's just say that I, Lan Yunjie, have thanked him. I'll go to him for tea in a few days. And also. That day Grandpa Feng said to me the tea. I also forgot to bring it. Tomorrow when I go into the palace to ask for a decree. Go to Gonggong Feng and take it with you. Grandpa Li is going to bring my words to ah."

"Don't worry. I'll definitely bring it. No wonder Grandpa Feng sent me to clean up this place for you. It turns out that Lord Lan is so familiar with Gonggong Feng. In the future, I will ask Lord Lan to say a few more kind words in front of Gonggong Feng."

I politely replied, "Yes. Today, your father-in-law Li also worked hard. I'll take my leave. Just lock the door when you go."

Li Yun sent us to the 'door' again. Watched me get into the sedan chair and leave. Then I went back to the house.

Liu Lianjiang asked me across the sedan chair: "Young master, let's go there now."

"Let's go back first. There's something important to go back to."

The sedan chair arrived at the 'jade' horse lane. I'm coming to the study. Wrote a letter. Call Lao Liu. Let him send the letter to Liu Xianling. You have to know the specific plans of Liu County to come back again. If Liu County Commander comes tomorrow. You carry the sedan chair to pick him up and take him to the 'jade' horse lane.

After Lao Liu rode away with the letter. I said to the 'Chun' Lan in the living room: "'Chun' Lan. Sui Jian's 'spring' is going to stay outside for a few days. Help me with my errand."

"It's okay young master. What you ask him to do, that's what he's supposed to do. Besides, we're not married. I can't care about him."

I took a break. Write the fold of going to the palace tomorrow to find the emperor and ask for the repair of Xiao Cai's mansion. It was still early to look at the sky. I'm going to go out for a walk. Call Liu Lianjiang. I didn't tell them about the eunuchs. Because I wanted to go to the inn. The road is not far. It was a quick walk to get there. It is inconvenient to take a few eunuchs with you.

Out of the 'jade' horse lane. Liu Lianjiang asked me, "Young Master, where are we going. My father is a substitute. If you bring fewer people. You can't go far."

"It's fine. We went to the inn to see if Master Ran had returned. I haven't seen him for days. I don't know what he's doing."

The two of us walked slowly to the inn. Because it's been a few times. Xiao Er also knows us. Didn't ask much. The two of us went straight to the backyard where Master Ran lived. The door to the Master's room is unlocked. I pushed the door open. I saw two people in the house. It scared the hell out of me.
