"Brother Zhang, have you heard, the little boy from our county's foreign family asked someone to kidnap the ticket two days ago."

"Which outside?"

"How many other foreign masters do we have surnamed Fang in Qiantang County? Of course, it is Fang Moshan, the richest man in Qiantang, known as Fang Ban County. ”

"Hiss————"

"In addition to Fang Yuan, he is not only rich in Qiantang, but it is said that there is also a brother who is a big official in Beijing, who wants money and power, and even the county lord has to be respectful when he sees him. Who is so bold that he dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head? ”

"Hehe, what if you're rich and powerful? If you really encounter an outlaw who is not afraid of death, isn't it just a matter of staring? ”

The one who spoke first couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

Then he pretended to whisper mysteriously: "I heard that this time the case was committed by a group of Jiangyang thieves who came from the north, and the people who tied up were rich, and those who didn't have money didn't bother to pay attention to you." ”

"Really, where did you hear that?"

"I have a distant aunt who works as a wet nurse in Fang's house, and I heard her about this. And I also heard that the kidnappers asked for 10,000 taels as soon as they opened their mouths. ”

"Ten thousand taels? My dear, that's a lot of silver! That's enough for me to earn for a lifetime. ”

"What's so strange about this, you don't want to think about it, it's the Fang family. Not to mention our Qiantang County, even if you look at the entire Hangzhou Mansion, the Fang family also has the number one, blackmail his family, can the price be less? ”

"Did the Fang family give the silver?"

"Of course I did, it was the only seedling of their Fang family. Don't say it's 10,000 taels, even if it asks for 20,000 taels or 30,000 taels, does the other Fang family dare not give it? ”

"My good man, those Jiangyang thieves are really famous."

…………

When he heard this, Zhou Tong didn't pay much attention to it.

This kind of kidnapping and extortion has been indispensable in all times since ancient times, and there is nothing unusual.

But before he could divert his attention, the next words completely aroused his interest.

"Hehe, if you have a life to earn, you have to have a life to spend."

This is a person next to him who suddenly interjected.

"Yo, isn't this Wang Chaguan (Brother Wang), why didn't you be on duty in the yamen today, and you have time to come here!"

The two chatting couldn't help but be surprised.

Turning his head, he immediately recognized the person who was speaking.

Listening to the meaning of their words, this person seems to be a servant in the yamen.

"Wang Chaguan (Brother Wang), please take a seat."

The two hurriedly poured wine, moved chairs, and let the servant to the table.

"Listening to Brother Wang, what else is hidden here?"

"Of course."

The official surnamed Wang nodded, took a sip of the full wine cup in front of him, and then said, "Your information is also well-informed, but unfortunately you don't know everything. ”

"Is that Fang family so easy to provoke? The front foot ransomed their little son-in-law, and the back foot went to the yamen to complain in person. ”

"I forced our county magistrate to send out all the arresters in the yamen to search for those damn kidnappers, and also sent a document to notify the nearby states and counties, so that the party member can be appeased."

"Brother Wang, has that person been found?"

"Of course I found it, otherwise how could I be so relaxed and have time to hang out with you here?"

"Found it so soon?"

The two people who had been chatting before were a little surprised.

They are all locals, and they all know the officials in the county.

Although it can't be said to be a rice bucket, but the case handling is usually so-so, when did it become so efficient?

"Brother Wang, where did you find it? Have they all been arrested? ”

"Actually, we didn't catch them at all, and those guys scared themselves to death."

The official surnamed Wang smiled.

"Scared yourself to death?"

The other two were confused, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in their hearts.

Dare to kidnap the son of the richest man in Qiantang, this gang of Jiangyang thieves is not bold, but it can't be a coward.

How could you scare yourself to death?

The Wang Ya Servant seemed to see the question between the two, and said with a smile: "If you want to say that these Jiangyang thieves are also unlucky, do you know where they live after they run to our Qiantang County?" ”

"Where to stay?"

"They are a group of outsiders who don't know the depths, and they actually live in the Qiu Wang's Mansion!"

"Qiu Wangfu?! Those people actually went to live in that haunted house? No wonder. ”

The two of them gasped.

It is a famous ghost house in their Qiantang County, and they don't know how many years it has been abandoned, and the reputation of haunting has also spread for many years.

No one in the locals dared to buy it, even those named Hanako who had no place to live, they didn't dare to run there to live.

Those Jiangyang thieves actually dared to run to live there, no wonder they would be scared to death.

"Qiu Wangfu!"

Zhou Tong next to him couldn't help but feel his heart jump.

Isn't this Qiu Wangfu the later White Mansion?

In the original book, Xiaoqing was entrenched there.

Later, Bai Suzhen came to West Lake to look for people, and also wanted to settle there, but she also subdued Xiaoqing because of this.

Later, after meeting Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen renovated the entire mansion with a spell, and then made a wedding room for the two.

If he hadn't listened to these people talk about it, he really didn't think of it for a while.

"I don't know if Xiaoqing is here at this time?"

can scare a group of Jiangyang thieves to death, there must be something in the Qiu Wang's Mansion, but I don't know if Xiaoqing did it.

Although he had also watched the original drama at the beginning, at the beginning of the plot, Xiaoqing was already entrenched in the Qiu Wang's Mansion, so he really didn't know what the situation was in the Qiu Wangfu before.

But listening to the meaning of these people's words, it seems that Qiu Wangfu still has the name of a ghost mansion now?

Did Xiaoqing make trouble?

Or is it a long time ago, but it's just not in the plot?

"Let's go back and see."

With such a thought rising in his heart, Zhou Tong didn't have the heart to listen to the gossip at the table next to him anymore.

After eating, he came out of the restaurant after Zhou Tong settled the bill, and he was not busy looking for the inn.

I casually found a local well-wisher and asked for the road, and then went straight to the Qiu Wangfu.

Qingbomen Shuangcha Lane.

It is located in the southeast of West Lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a pleasant environment.

Nearby, a meandering waterway connecting to West Lake winds around the street, bringing a touch of nature to the hustle and bustle of the city.

One of the tributaries was deliberately channelled into a large-scale abandoned mansion.

If one looks down from above, they will see that this mansion is actually extraordinary.

The pavilions and attics are scattered, the rockery and flowing water reflect each other, and the mountains and mountains are stacked and the winding paths are secluded, obviously it was also from the master's handwriting, ingenious workmanship.

But now it is full of vines, wild vines around the walls, the beams of the houses are falling, the doors and windows are broken, and it is obvious that it has long been uninhabited and has been abandoned for a long time.

The mansion is located in Shuangcha Lane, and the gate of the mansion is directly opposite a temple of the God of Wealth.

This is the Qiu Wang's Mansion.
