Yu Xia asked, and the shopkeeper changed to a proud tone.

"You're talking about the Qi family! That's really one of the biggest households in our Qi County! Nine years ago, Master Qi Mingyouqi, who was the champion of the imperial examination high school, is our Qi family in Qi County! ”

The shopkeeper gushed endlessly, telling the Qi family's original comments, how to make a fortune, and how to soar, all of which were clear and clear, and they looked like they were honored.

"But this Lord Qi has lived in the capital for a long time, and last year he took his mother and siblings away, and now the people who live in this Qi Mansion are all relatives in the next room."

"Why, Lord Qi is such a big official, why didn't he take his uncle and brother into the capital to enjoy happiness?"

At this time, there were no guests coming to the door, so the shopkeeper simply pulled a stool and sat down and talked to them.

"Have you ever heard about the corruption case in Xiangzhou last year?"

Yu Xia nodded, it was Qi Mingyou himself who was responsible for investigating and dealing with this case, and he also took his family to the capital at that time.

"That case was a big fuss at the beginning!"

Dian Xiaoer said that at the beginning, the corruption case involved almost the entire Xiangzhou officialdom, and even Qi Mingyou, who had a holy imperial decree, went through nine deaths and a lifetime to remove these poisonous sores one by one.

"The big officials in Xiangzhou have almost all been purged, and the city is full of turmoil, and now the people in charge of Xiangzhou are all newly transferred by the saint last year."

"You said, this Lord Qi is so ruthless, won't he offend people, this Xiangzhou, after all, is his hometown!"

Listening to the shopkeeper say this, Yu Xia can be regarded as somewhat understanding, this Qi Mingyou took his family to the capital, not so much to enjoy happiness, but to avoid trouble.

If he really wants to say that, then he left his relatives in the next room in Qi County, which is even more unreasonable, isn't he afraid that the enemy will use these relatives to blackmail him?

"Hey, you don't know that." The shopkeeper and the two gods were mysterious, and approached Yu Xia, "This matter, as far as I know from Qi Mansion, out of this teahouse, you have no place to inquire!" ”

Yu Xia immediately made a look of curiosity, "Are there any other secrets in this?" ”

The shopkeeper saw that she was not very old, and she was at the age when she was curious about everything, and she was not wary at all.

"Have you ever heard that the fortune of a person's family is related to the feng shui of the ancestral tomb?"

Yu Xia nodded hesitantly, but the look of doubt on his face did not escape the eyes of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was even more proud.

"Let me tell you, this Qi family, it used to be just an ordinary wealthy family, and it couldn't be a big official, but later, a feng shui gentleman came......"

The general process that the shopkeeper said was almost the same as what Song Yuan said, but many details were vague.

Yu Xia remained silent, "Where did that master go?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Who knows, I heard that I lived in the Qi family for a while, and then disappeared. This Lord Qi asked his uncle and brother to stay in Qi County just to be optimistic about the feng shui of the ancestral tomb! ”

"I told you that no one knows about this, if it weren't for the last time when the second master of their family drank too much and accidentally confided in our teahouse, we thought that Lord Qi would not be happy to drag him down with a large family of relatives!"

Yu Xia sneered in his heart after hearing this, whether it was for the sake of the ancestral tomb feng shui or for fear of being dragged down, it was difficult to say!

"Then have you heard that there was a blind man living in this Qi Mansion?" Yu Xia asked.

The shopkeeper frowned and thought about it, "It seems that there is indeed such a person, who is quite old, who has lived in the Qi family for many years, and disappeared a few years ago. ”

The shopkeeper seemed to remember something as he spoke, with a hint of disgust on his face, "That old man, it's dirty and smelly, it's worse than the one called Huazi outside, and thanks to the benevolence and righteousness of the Qi family, I am willing to raise him." ”

"Then the old man is not related to the Qi family, why does the Qi family want to raise him?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Probably because the old lady Qi is a good person, when he was alive, he didn't help the people of Qi County, and when he met the old blind man, he saw that he was pitiful and took him in." ”

"But I heard that the blind man wasn't blind when he first lived in Qi's house."

The shopkeeper was stunned, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Yu Xia nodded, "I heard that the old man was blind in the Qi family." ”

"I don't know this, it's been too long, I'll ask our shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper threw down these words and ran downstairs, and it didn't take long for him to come back out of breath with a look of surprise.

"The guest officer really told you to be right, that old man was blind after Master Qi was in high school! Or was he pecked blind by an eagle flying from nowhere! ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but be surprised, "I don't know what kind of evil the old man has done, he actually put this kind of thing on the table, no wonder the old lady Qi died later, and their Qi family didn't want to see him." ”

Yu Xia's heart moved, "Is the Qi family bad for him?" ”

The shopkeeper sneered, "Who can stand raising an old, dirty and smelly blind man all day long, it's not a parent, it's good to be able to give food!" The old man had a strange and unpleasant temper, and talked mysteriously all day long, and I guess he had some problems with his brain. ”

Coming out of the teahouse, Yu Xia's mood was a little heavy.

A dignified feng shui master has fallen into such a field.

On the one hand, Qi Mingyou did not believe in feng shui and ignored Song Yuan, and on the other hand, he used feng shui as an excuse to deceive his uncle and brother to stay in Qi County, such a person is really not worthy of mercy.

Yu Xia bought clothes and went back, Song Yuan was still in the house, just finished eating, wearing an old Chinese coat given by the shopkeeper, as for the original clothes, they were already full of lice, Yu Xia asked the shopkeeper to throw them away.

Yu Xia told Song Yuan everything she had asked about from the teahouse.

When it was said that Qi Mingyou's relatives in the next room stayed in Qi County because of the feng shui of the ancestral tomb, Song Yuan's face turned red with anger, and blood and tears flowed out of his blind eyes.

"How can this be justified, how can this be justified!"

Song Yuan's fists clenched and gurgling, and he kept panting.

"I was cornered by them, and they even made a fuss in my name! The benevolent, righteous and loyal old lady Qi, how could she give birth to so many wolf-hearted children and grandchildren! ”

Yu Xia was silent and didn't speak, everyone in the Qi family had a share in this cruel treatment of Song Yuan. At the beginning, the matter of improving feng shui for the ancestral tomb was made secret, only the old lady Qi knew, and this secret was told to Qi Mingyou before the old lady Qi died, but it was used by Qi Mingyou like this.

"Qi Shilang can mix well in the court at a young age, this is the most important ability, that is, he knows how to judge the situation and avoid the disadvantages."

Chen Daoren smoked a dry cigarette and said coolly.

Yu Xia understood what Chen Daoren meant.

Qi Mingyou may have had a benevolent heart in the past, but after being in officialdom for a long time, in order to protect himself and get ahead, it is inevitable that he will pay more attention to weighing the pros and cons of some things, and thus become utilitarian and cold-blooded.

"Mr. Song, the matter has come to this, have you made a decision?" Yu Xia asked.

A trace of hatred flashed on Song Yuan's face, and he nodded emphatically.
