- After leaving the examination room and resting at home for a day, Chen Ke took Song Duanping and went to the southeast bridge. After a few months of being on the sidelines, the Imperial City Division decided that the alarm had been lifted and finally withdrew the annoying guards.

The flood has receded for half a month, but the damage caused by the flood to Bianjing City is still everywhere. Shops along the street are being renovated, and the roads are filled with mud dug out of the canals...... This situation is more serious the more southeast, because the terrain of Kaifeng City is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the more you go to the bridge, the more low-lying the terrain is, and the more serious the disaster, until now, it is still a yellow mud swing, and you can see collapsed houses everywhere.

The two of them rolled up their trouser legs, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walked in the muddy alley, only to see that their eyes were full of ruins and broken walls, and they couldn't distinguish the original street portal at all.

They wandered around all morning, but they couldn't find their target. At noon, I found a tea stall nearby, asked for a pot of hot tea, a few steamed buns, and filled my stomach indiscriminately.

Song Duanping swallowed the dry food with the tea, and whispered: "I can't find it if I wander around, we have to ask someone." No, let's find that agent. "In fact, it's easiest to ask someone casually, but the neighborhood connection and mutual insurance system in the Song Dynasty is too powerful, and when you meet strangers to inquire about the address, they will inevitably ask who you are looking for, and they will be caught blind.

"Hmm." Chen Ke nodded, took out a key tied to the wooden plaque from his arms, and took it back after a glance. This key was found from the head of the beggar gang that day, and seeing that it was hidden by the head of the gang, Chen Ke bet that the real family of the beggar gang was hidden behind it.

But the only clue to the death of the dead who know is that the key remains. Chen Ke carefully examined the brand-new brass key, which was tied to a small wooden plaque with numbers written on it by a silk cloth.

At first, they always thought that it was the key to a certain bank, tooth shop, or inn. But after many inquiries, I found that although each of them has a storage business, they do not provide lockers, let alone keys. Fortunately, the hard work pays off. After more than two months of investigation, they finally figured out that this wooden sign was actually tied to the back of the key when the house was for sale in Yahang. Soon I also found out, which tooth store's wooden sign this is......

The day before the autumn, the three of them came to this Ya shop, which is located in the southeast of the city. When the real estate agent heard that they were going to buy a house, he was overjoyed...... Because of this waterlogging, the market of houses in the southeast of the city is bearish. Many of the original residents wanted to move to the north of the city. No one will come to buy a house here. The market of many houses in the hands of real estate agents is bearish, and they are anxious, and it is easy to catch a few big sheep. How can they escape?

The agent served tea and poured water, and took out the register to introduce high-quality listings. Chen Ke said. Worried about whether there would be another flood, the broker immediately patted his chest and assured that this kind of waterlogging that has not been encountered in a hundred years will be a hundred years later next time. Now that many people are worrying about the sky, the houses in this area are a lot cheaper, and now is a good time to buy the dip. You know, the capital is such a big place, and in a few days, the houses here will be in demand again. When the time comes, the guest officer will sell it and make a lot of money......

He was chatting with Chen Ke here, while Wulang had a dark face over there, and he and Song Duanping looked through the register, as if they were looking for their favorite listing. The agent tried to get his book back several times, but he was black-faced by Goro. I was too scared to speak, so I had to let them see enough.

Pulling until his mouth was dry, Chen Ke saw Song Duanping nodding at him, so he made a random appointment with the agent to see the house, patted his ass and walked away.

After leaving the dental row. Song Duanping told Chen Ke that he had seen the house numbered '753'. It is the seventh household in Donkey Tail Lane, and it is shown that it was only sold in February.

At that time, there was a hanging boot ghost behind him, so Chen Ke did not look for it. It was only now that I came to the vicinity of the bridge to look for this alley, who knew that the entire area had been changed beyond recognition, and the original alley could not be found at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Filling their stomachs, the two returned to the dental store, and coincidentally, it was still the real estate agent. Seeing Chen Ke and the two, there is naturally no good color on the economic face, and the Song people pay attention to commitments, and they look down on those who are not trustworthy.

Chen Ke hurriedly apologized with a smile, saying that he had been delayed by Qiu Yu, and the agent's face softened a little and said: "You are going to be officials in the future, so you have to be more trustworthy." ”

"It must be, not as an example." Chen Ke said in a low profile.

"Let's go, go and see the house." Apparently the recent sale has not been good, and the house from six or seven days ago is still on sale.

"Don't look at that building, we went around on the spot," Song Duanping said loudly: "I want to buy a house in Donkey Tail Lane." ”

"There......" said the broker, "the location is very remote, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit." ”

"Let's just be quiet."

"Okay......"

The agent dragged out a large bunch of keys from the cabinet, and sure enough, behind each key, there was a wooden tag tied to it. After rummaging for a long time, the agent found two handfuls and explained: "Let's go......"

The two of them followed him out and walked down the street, and the economy said, "I won't hide it from you, the house is all soaked in water, and if you want to live in it, you will definitely have to renovate it." Otherwise, it can't be so cheap. ”

Looking at the ruins and broken walls in his eyes, Chen Ke nodded and said, "Understood." ”

The economy took them left and right, and after a while, they came to the mouth of a dilapidated and hidden alley: "Here is the second and sixth households of Donkey Tail Alley for sale." ”

"Look at the sixth household." Song Duanping said: "The second household is too close to the road. ”

"......" economic heart said, it's still too noisy to be like this, it's really perverted enough.

The economy took them to the sixth household, who knew that the door lock had been rusted, and it took a long time to poke it open, and when they went in, they saw that they were good fellows, half of the seven houses had collapsed, and the yard was full of yellow mud.

When I look at the economy, my heart says it's going to be bad. He didn't hold out any hope, but the two perverted guests nodded in unison: "Yes, that's it." ”

Chen Ke paid five taels of silver as a deposit, and made an appointment to go to the government tomorrow to sign the contract, and the broker gave him the key and left with peace of mind.

"Why, do you really want to buy this house?" Song Duanping said: "This capital is too big." ”

"It's not big, twenty taels of silver buys such a big house, you can't usually pick up such a big bargain." Chen Ke smiled and said, "You are guarding here, I'll go next door to find out." ”

"Hmm." Song Duanping nodded, and Chen Ke stepped over the collapsed courtyard wall to the courtyard next door. He first observed the house on the left, and saw that it was also empty, so he relaxed and looked at the secret house of this big dragon head.

This courtyard is about the same size as the next door, but the house is intact, but there is a lot of yellow mud in the yard. Chen Ke searched carefully inside and out, and saw that the house was in a mess, and there were traces of blisters everywhere. Yellow mud covered the ground intact, and it was clear that no one had been here for a long time.

"How do you find this?" Song Duanping could see clearly through the collapsed courtyard wall.

"Definitely not above the ground." Chen Ke said: "The rat will never be able to change the habit of making holes, and it is estimated that they are buried." ”

"Inside or outside?"

"It's more likely in the house." Chen Ke picked up two buckets in the courtyard.

"What are you going to do?"

"Washing the floor ......," Chen Ke said depressedly. If you don't wash off the thick yellow mud, how do you know what's underneath?

Fortunately, there is a well in the backyard, and the well water overflows to the edge of the well, so there is no need to use a roller to draw water. Chen Ke took off his shirt and beat eight buckets of water in a row before washing the East House out. Then he held the dagger upside down, knocked the floor tiles one by one, and worked until dusk, before he said dejectedly: "There is no ......"

"Don't worry, there are still eight rooms." Song Duanping, who had been watching the wind, said: "Let's go home and eat first." ”

"Hmm." Chen Ke sighed and said, "Let's go, go home and eat." ”

When they got home, the two took a shower, but they still missed dinner. Chen Xiliang saw that the two of them were tired and couldn't straighten their waists, so he couldn't help frowning and said: "Are you going to the Qinglou, you should pay attention to moderation......" Although it is legal for men in the Song Dynasty to visit the Qinglou, in the eyes of parents, it is obviously harmful for children to indulge in the land of flowers and willows before they get married.

The two of them were so sweaty, they hurriedly denied it, and it was easy to deal with Brother Xiaoliang.

The next day, Chen Ke called Wulang as well, and he went to sign a contract with Na Jing, while Song Duanping and the two went straight to Donkey Tail Alley to continue searching.

After completing the transfer procedures, it was already noon, Chen Ke bought some food, and then went to Donkey Tail Lane. The street was quiet, and he frowned slightly, and went in the opposite direction, and after turning a corner, he flashed behind a broken wall.

After a while, I saw two sneaky figures turning around the corner, and when I saw that Chen Ke's shadow was gone, one of them sighed softly: "What about people?" ”

"You're not going to find us, are you?" The other said in a deep voice: "Chase! The two of them hurried over.

When the footsteps went away, Chen Ke appeared and turned back the same way......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chen Ke hurriedly returned to Donkey's Tail Alley and knocked on the door.

The door opened, revealing Song Duanping's smiling face, and Chen Ke lifted his heart for a long time before he let go of half of it. Dodge in and closed the door: "I just met the stalking." ”

Song Duanping couldn't laugh when he boarded: "What person? ”

"I don't know, I didn't act rashly, I just got rid of them." Chen Ke frowned and said, "It's not found here, is it?" ”

"Nope." Song Duanping said: "There is no movement at all, no one has ever come." ”

"That's good, it looks like it was just today." Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

"It can't be improvised, right?"

"Not really." Chen Ke shook his head and said: "Looking at the dress of the two, they don't look like gangsters, but like secret agents." After a pause, he said, "No matter what, as long as they keep their eyes on me, they will find this place soon." ”

"What should I do?" Song Duanping frowned.

"Found it!" Suddenly I heard a low roar of excitement -

Partition -

There are two more.
