Chapter 210: Shopping in the County (4)
The six of them got up to pay the bill, and hurriedly walked towards the county office, Qi Ke didn't see what the five of them used, anyway, they just stood on the street for a while, and then they took her into an alley, where there were already plainclothes scouts waiting, and that face had no memorable features.
Qi Ke only came out of prison yesterday, and he knew that there was money to talk about everything, so he took out all the broken silver that he had on his body, and the other five people made up a little more, and made up one or two pieces of silver to hand over to the scout to deal with, and appease the unlucky stall owner not to panic and do stupid things.
After breaking up with the scouts, the six of them moved to North Point Lane, which is in the north of the city, and not far from the North City Gate.
Zhao Gong's house is also easy to find, but he is not at home, he is running outside to make money, in addition to his old wife, daughter-in-law and little grandson, there is also a lame only son who stays at home, the leg injury is much more serious than Yuan Ting in Siliu Village, Yuan Ting does not use crutches, but this Zhao family's son has to be on crutches, no wonder Zhao Gonggong still has to come and go in the wind and rain when he is old.
Seeing that it was the children of the Bai family who came to the door, Zhao Gonggong's family received them tremblingly, answered all questions, and explained clearly that the five generations of his ancestors were all honest people, and they had no history of being traitors.
Qi Ke was interested in the stump of the Zhao family's son, after all, it could be seen at a glance that it was disabled by injury, and she asked so much, but the whole family hugged and cried, and after some careful questioning, an old case was revealed.
The son of Zhao Gonggong is called Zhao Dajiang, a very ordinary name is a very ordinary person, since he was a child, he ran a boat with his father and practiced his skills, he was going to take over his father's boat, but something happened, and the story of a collision with other boats, Zhao Dajiang was unfortunately caught between two boats when he fell into the water and suffered a serious fracture, and since then he can only rely on crutches to stand.
According to the Zhao family, the boat that hit Zhao Dajiang was another big family in the county, the Min family's son-in-law invited his companions to play on the boat, and after drinking too much, he didn't think it was fun to sing and dance, so he played boat racing on the water, blindly seeking speed, first hit another boat, and then hit Zhao Dajiang's boat, and the Min family's big boat was also damaged.
Afterwards, a lawsuit was filed, and the boat that was hit first was changed because no one was injured, and the reason why Zhao Dajiang was seriously injured was that he first blocked the waterway and caused the Min family's big boat to dodge and crash into the ship, not only did he not get compensation, but also reversed himself to compensate for the repair cost of the Min family's big ship, and then the Min family said that he took pity on the Zhao family's difficult livelihood and no longer pursued the repair of the ship, and took advantage of this case to fight for a generous reputation.
Ding Lin and the five of them were filled with righteous indignation when they heard it, Qi Ke was expressionless and calm, she just listened to a story, and whether to turn over the old case was the matter of the Bai family's army.
Asked about the business of chartering boats in the past few days, Qi Ke left a message that she wanted to charter a boat, and the six of them finally said goodbye to the Zhao family, and the time was not too early, so they returned directly and took back the carriage to return to the camp of the Thousand Households.
After a short rest, the three girls got together for dinner, and then, just like yesterday, Bai Qing sent someone to call Qi Ke away.
The list handed over to the Qian Liang Officer in the morning was resting on Bai Qing's desk at this time.
So many bricks, stones, timber and daily necessities are not enough, after all, they are used to rebuild Zhuangzi, and it is understandable that the big landlords pay attention to food, clothing and housing.
However, gunpowder and iron ore have to be explained.
