Yu Zhaocai stood up, "I'll go to the yamen and have people fence the courtyard and arrest those people." ”

Cheng Xi hurriedly stopped, "No, if it is a group of people who took Xu Sanlang away, do you think the people from the yamen dare to arrest them?" ”

Yu Zhaocai still listened to Cheng Xi's sitting down and responded, "Are you willing?" They inexplicably locked up the two of them? ”

Cheng Xi pursed his mouth, "How can you drop if you are unwilling?" Go and kill them? That's what you have to do. I came to you to ask you to help me inquire, whose yard it is, and what identity and background the owner of that yard has. ”

Yu Zhaocai nodded, "Okay." Then he called his henchmen who came with him in and explained what he was going to do.

When his henchmen left, Yu Zhaocai asked Xiong Daxiong Er to go out and guard at the door, and then Yu Zhaocai said, "This matter is related to Brother Xu, right?" ”

Cheng Xi nodded, "I estimate that eight or nine are not far from ten, and I can probably guess the purpose of these people to arrest us, it seems that there is something to force Xu Saburo, and arresting me is a bargaining chip to threaten him, since we have been released, it means that their purpose should have been achieved, I am a little worried, what are they threatening Xu Saburo for?" Will Xu Saburo be in any danger? ”

Yu Zhaocai said, "Then listen to me, find someone to copy that courtyard, maybe someone is there, and we can rescue Brother Xu." ”

Cheng Xi sighed, "Have you forgotten to take away the identities of Xu Sanlang's people?" ”

Yu Zhaocai frowned, and then said coldly, "Anyway, we are far away from the emperor here, so it's better to keep doing it, I'll find someone to clean them up, and who knows who they are in the future." ”

Cheng Xi shook his head, "You can't take this risk, you first inquire to see who the courtyard is, and then we will find a way to send someone over to explore the truth." ”

Yu Zhaocai had no choice but to nod in response, "Okay." ”

Thinking that Xu Lan has always been by her side, now that she has Xiong Da Xiong Er, Xu Lan can let her leave with Yu Zhaocai, otherwise the Xu family knows that Xu Lan is still with her, and it is estimated that she will have to make a fuss again, so she said, "Xu Lan's affairs are entrusted to you, take her away today." ”

Yu Zhaocai frowned slightly, but nodded in response.

In the evening, Yu Zhaocai left with Xu Lan, and the hundred-year-old pulled Cheng Xi, looked at Xu Lan who left reluctantly, and asked, "Sister-in-law, where is Sister Lan going, will she come back?" ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Of course I'll come back, Sister Lan will go to learn to make money, and when she earns money to buy gifts, she will come back to see her 100 years old." ”

Not long after Yu Zhaocai and Xu Lan left, Cheng Dagui and Wu came over together, Cheng Xi beckoned the two of them into the house, and Cheng Dagui asked worriedly, "Is it really okay for you to be taken captive?" ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Dad, do you think something is wrong with me?" ”

Cheng Dagui looked Cheng Xi up and down again, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Cheng Xi didn't hear the deep meaning of Cheng Dagui's words at all, and asked with a smile, "Dad, Aunt Wu, why did you come here at this time?" ”

Cheng Dagui opened his mouth and said, "Let's go back and discuss, since there is no news of this Xu Sanlang, you don't have to guard him anymore, your eldest aunt has some connections in the county government, plus your friendship with Yu Gongzi, even if Xu Sanlang has Xu Wenyu, the fourth uncle, there is no way to tie you up, and when the time comes, you will find someone from the yamen to handle the letter for you, and you will return to the Cheng family with your father, or the daughter of the Cheng family, and you will not have to be involved with the Xu family in the future." ”

Cheng Xi frowned slightly, "Dad, I know you are for my good, but this Xu Saburo just went out, and he didn't say that he couldn't come back, where is the husband going out, the wife at home will be reconciled with her husband." ”

Cheng Dagui said with red eyes, "Look at Xu Sanlang, where did you have a comfortable day?" Seeing that there is hope for this day, he disappeared, and left you with a child, who was taken captive, what do you say you are still guarding him! ”

Cheng Xi lowered his head and responded, "Dad, you don't have to say it, I won't do this." ”

Cheng Da pointed at Cheng Xi nobly, "You, you girl, why are you so disobedient, you are stubborn, there are times when you regret it." ”

Cheng Dagui and Wu's didn't eat dinner, so they left angrily, Cheng Xi stood in the courtyard, touched the broken stone on his neck, and sighed and said, "What am I still guarding you for?" Nothing good has happened since I met you. ”

At this time, Xiong Er's voice came from the house, "Madam, it's time to eat." ”

Cheng Xi heard this title and frowned slightly.

There were only Cheng Xi and Bai Sui sitting on the table, Xiong Da Xiong Er consciously waited on the side, Cheng Xi waved to the two of them helplessly, and said in a tough tone, "Come and sit and eat." ”

Xiong hurriedly refused, "Madam, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Cheng Xi raised his head and looked at the two, "Now I'm your master?" ”

Xiong Da and Xiong Er both nodded, and Cheng Xi continued, "Is what the master said a rule?" ”

Xiong Da and Xiong Er had nothing to say, Cheng Xi said with satisfaction, "There are only a few people in the family, let's sit and eat together in the future, you can't eat while watching me, and don't call me Mrs. in the future, how old am I, I am called old by you, just call me Cheng Xi." ”

Cheng Xi said that she was the master, and the master's words were the rules, but Xiong Da listened to him and asked him to call the master by his name, but he couldn't do this anyway, so he had to answer, "Since you think it's inappropriate to call Mrs., then the little one will call you Miss Xi in the future." ”

Cheng Xi frowned slightly, "Call me master, and don't be small in the future, it sounds awkward to death, don't call yourself a slave, it's hard to hear it, I'm me, what a small minion, sit down now and eat." ”

The next day, Cheng Xi stayed at home and dealt with the pig with Aunt Liu, because of Cheng Xi's disappearance, the business was down, and now Cheng Xi came back safely, Liu Butcher's father and son went out and went out to collect the goods, leaving Aunt Liu alone to clean up at home, fortunately, with the help of the Xiong brothers and Cheng Xi, it would not be too busy.

The dirty work was robbed by the Xiong brothers, Aunt Liu and Cheng Xi only had to deal with the back process, and the two of them talked while doing their work, "A few days ago, your Uncle Liu went to deliver the goods, and the steward over there said that last month's account could be settled, and your Uncle Liu thought that you talked to them about this matter, or did you go to settle the bill more clearly, I don't want to tell you before I have time, something happened to you, and this matter was also put on hold, you see when you go over there, settle the account, and then pay the rent of the yard, and the landlord mentioned it to me a few days ago." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, sighed and replied, "I've been working blindly all day, but I forgot about it." ”

Thinking that if it weren't for the restaurant where he could settle the bill, he really wouldn't have the money to pay the rent in this courtyard, and he didn't know what happened to the snack stall, Cheng Xi thought, let's go over and have a look tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Cheng Xi took Xiong Da to the restaurant, Steward Xu and Chef Zhao were very surprised to see Cheng Xi, and Chef Zhao pulled Cheng Xi to look up and down and asked worriedly, "Can you be considered back?" How did you come back? Is there a sin? ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Okay, how do you know?" ”

Steward Xu on the side responded, "Don't you know, there is still Yu Gongzi in the yamen looking for people everywhere, and there is a lot of uproar, just come back." Can you tell us what's going on? ”

Cheng Xi had no choice but to talk about the situation.

The income of the fat intestine was unexpected by Cheng Xi, in just one month, the settlement actually settled more than 30 taels of silver, excluding the capital, there were almost more than 20 taels, Cheng Xi didn't have to worry about the rent.

And Steward Xu said that the supply is still too small, some are in short supply, I hope their supply can be increased, and the supply will be at least doubled, which is a good thing, Cheng Xi thought about going back and discussed with Aunt Liu about increasing the quantity, even if they can't do it themselves, it is cost-effective to recruit workers, but this practice cannot be leaked, and there are still some worries about recruitment.

Xiong Da, who has been following, made Cheng Xi think of an idea, since he is not at ease about recruiting workers, he can go to the tooth store to buy people back, they are all homeless people, and there is a deed of sale in hand, so there is no need to worry.

When Cheng Xi went back, Yu Zhaocai was already waiting at home, and when he saw Cheng Xi coming back, he couldn't help but chatter, "Why are you still running around at this time?" Forgot to get out of the wolf's den? It's really bold. ”

Cheng Xi poured himself a glass of water and said nonchalantly, "This is really going to arrest me, is it safe for me to stay at home?" Don't worry, since they've released me, they won't move me for the time being, but have you heard any news? ”

Yu Zhaocai responded, "The courtyard you said, under the name of a woman, I went to inquire about that woman, not a clean woman, it is said that a waiter in the capital was an outer room, the waiter's main room is a fierce one, and his mother's family still has a background. ”

Cheng Xi held his head in one hand and sipped water from a cup in the other, and said thoughtfully, "How long has that woman been here?" ”

Yu Zhaocai responded, "This time is quite long, almost ten years, it is said that this woman is also very strange, basically rarely goes out, some people say that she does not go out in fact, she secretly went to the capital to see her good waiter." ”

Cheng Xi sipped his tea and muttered, "It actually has something to do with the capital, let's be far away from the capital here, hide an outer room, don't you think it's strange to hide so far?" ”

Yu Zhaocai nodded, "It's very strange, those who are officials, how normal it is to have an outer room, even if the main room is fierce, where can they hide so far?" ”

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was confusing, and Cheng Xi couldn't help but murmur, "Who do you say this Xu Saburo is?" ”

Yu Zhaocai was speechless and said, "He is your father-in-law, you ask me who Xu Sanlang is, you don't know, I will know?" ”
