"Listen to my father, the subordinate he sent to the capital to inquire about the inside of General Jihei's Mansion spent ten taels of silver to buy off the owner of a tavern near the General's Mansion.

Then the owner of this tavern came forward and asked a concierge of the general's mansion to drink. ”

According to this porter, about a month after General Yoshiguro arrived in Beijing with his second son, a lama wearing a purple and red monk's skirt, an apricot and yellow cockscomb monk's hat, his right arm was covered, and a nine-ring tin staff was held in his left hand.

When this man saw the porter, he raised his right hand and slapped his head, saying that he had something to ask to see the owner of the house.

It must be known that at that time, most of the bannermen and nobles believed in the Yellow Religion, so the status of lamas and teachers in the capital was transcendent, and ordinary people had to burn incense in front of the door and kneel to welcome them.

Although this general Jihei is not an ordinary family, there is no reason to neglect the guests.

So the porter invited the lama into the main hall to furnish fragrant tea and entertain him, and hurriedly went back to the housekeeper.

After that, this little concierge is not something that this little porter can participate in.

However, not long after the little porter rushed back to duty in front of the gate of the General's Mansion, a hurried subordinate of the General's Mansion stepped on a fast horse under the assignment of the steward of the back house, and went to look for General Ji Hei, who had not returned from his home.

It must be known that at that time, General Yoshiguro and his second son, who was frightened and unable to wither due to the assassination, went to Beijing to visit the famous doctor, and if there was no urgent matter in the house, the governor of the inner government did not send someone to find General Yoshihei.

Therefore, this little porter vaguely felt that there must be something strange about this matter, and perhaps it had a lot to do with the lama who visited in the morning, and if he could find an opportunity to mix one or two in it, he would definitely have a lot of benefits to be gained.

Just when the little porter was frustrated because he couldn't find a suitable reason to participate, suddenly there were servants in the inner room who came to look for their porters on duty, saying that Grandma Dafujin was looking for a few local people who lived in the capital to question.

"I heard from my family, that day, General Ji Hei's Great Fu Jin was looking for a few pieces that could be used to rebuild the house, replace the beams, and make the big wood."

It is said that the Great Fujin attached great importance to the reconstruction of the General's Palace, and his mouth was full of "the construction period is urgent, and the ready-made wood prepared by the craftsman's house in the morning" is full of clouds.

This time, Dafujin asked these people who lived in the local area, and he also wanted to ask these people if they knew where there were such ready-made beams and timber near Gyeonggi.

It's ridiculous that the concierge is not a master of the city, and after only a few cups of yellow soup were poured, he opened his mouth openly.

He confessed that he was greedy for the heavy reward promised by Grandma Fujin, so he started to think crookedly. ”

Yang Congxun told Xiao Hu San, who listened with relish, that the material specially used to erect the beams on the roof was really difficult to find.

This is mainly due to the fact that the carpenters who can give people the command of the upper beams are quite capable craftsmen.

People are experts in eating this line of food, and how long and thick the material should be taken for a beam is all decided by this person, and people who are idle can't talk at all.

I don't even know how long and thick the wood needs to be prepared, so which woodsmith dares to prepare the material in advance?

If this prepared big wood material has been useless, and it has been suppressed in your hands for three and five years, isn't it a waste of money?

Therefore, General Jihei Dafujin is 'anxious to do something outside' this time, and he is in a hurry to find Fangliang, and he must not find a woodworking workshop, so he has to go to ...... Coffin shop!

Generally speaking, only those old people who have a premonition will take the initiative to ask the coffin shop to measure their body and prepare a coffin.

Just as the silk village will take the initiative to find fertile land to plant mulberry hemp, the coffin shop will also explore all the regular trees on the ground nearby in the morning, and strive to hand them over to the reservation number one by one, so that they can be kept in the forest for emergencies.

So if you want to find a big piece of wood, you can probably get something by asking the coffin shop nearby...... If you have to be rich enough!

Tell the truth.

Unlike the vast majority of the subordinates in General Jihei's Mansion who were directly transferred from outside the gate, this small concierge who greeted guests at the door was an authentic local.

This person grew up in the city when he was a child, and when he was a child, he was also serious in the market, so he paid attention to these hundreds of jobs and other professions.

Having said that, Gui'er moved in his heart since he inquired about Dafujin's reward, and then took advantage of the time of the next duty to find those acquaintances in the market to contact him for him.

In the end, he grabbed a head in Dafujin before other subordinates, and after some manipulation inside and out, he made a good fortune of one or two hundred taels of money. ”

After saying this, Yang Congxun smiled mysteriously at the little fox again: "It's a pity that although you have the luck to get rich, you don't have the life to keep money."

The two hundred taels of bonuses rewarded by the great fortune Jin made him gamble and prostitute himself, and he would use up the flowers in less than a month, and he still owed people a lot of foreign debts.

However, it is precisely for this reason that the noble man coveted the tea money of twenty taels of silver in the hands of my family, and told all the details of the preparation of the house repair project of General Yoshiguro Beppu twenty years ago. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Congxun finally couldn't hide his smug face, raised his hand and pointed to the beam above his head: "There is a way that 'those who are difficult will not, and those who will not be difficult'."

It is important to know that the main house girder is the top priority of the feng shui of the house, even if ordinary people want to renovate and build the house, the girder of the hall house must be removed in advance, and then go back as it is after the foundation of the pillar is laid.

What's more, this girder is a good commodity that cost thousands of taels of silver to get back (the red envelope of the pimp alone is two hundred), and it is obvious that this is where the tin rod lama set up a town for General Jihei. ”

After speaking, Yang Congxun nodded at Hu San's meaning: "After a while, the third brother of Lao showed his ability to climb the beam in the upper room, and knocked it on the beam with his claws one by one, and the echo ......"

"The echo hollow is where the lama buried his belongings? This matter is very easy, Brother Yang, you can take a look! ”

As he spoke, the little fox shook his big bright and fiery tail, jumped on the ground a few times, and climbed under a vermilion lacquer pillar with a slight vertical body

Then Hu San's hands and claws were used together, and he climbed up along the ornamentation on the pillars.

I saw Xiao Hu San standing on the top of the pillar, standing up, hooking the purlin on the roof with two claws, and the whole body hung in the air and swayed back and forth like a swing twice, so suddenly that the claws flew up, and the 'snap' fit fell on the beam.

However, what happened next was a little out of the 'normal' category, and I saw Hu San with his hands behind his back, and he stood on the beams of the house, looking like ...... Pacing up the square steps??

While pacing, the thick tail behind the erection of the cheek, like a hairy duster, kept slapping the beam under his feet, this serious style stunned Yang Congxun under the beam.

About half a day later, the little fox suddenly stopped beating the tail of the beam, and then leaned over on the beam, and pressed his left big and wide ear tightly to the beam, and pinched his paw again, knocking it twice: "There is"!

With this cheer, the little fox wrapped his waist, and then made a move of 'pulling onions on dry land', and 'poof' jumped up, and his claws in his hands were like knives, and he had to remove the thick layer of patent leather on the beams.

Xiao Hu San had just dismantled it twice, and the outer side of the beam under his feet suddenly recessed into a black hole a foot square.

I saw an old-colored elm box several inches long and thick falling straight down from the black hole, shattering into several pieces on the ground with a 'bang', and rolling out of it a small coin with a faint blue light, and a dagger seven or eight inches long, with a cold glow constantly flashing all over the body!
