Chapter 58: This Is Really Trying to Dig
Chen Gui came at the right time.
The next morning, before Lin Yunyan asked Mama Wu to inform him, Chen Gui himself handed over a post to Sinceritybury.
Mama led him to Zaishou Temple, and Chen Guigong saluted everyone.
"I sent some fish and crabs from the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and I just picked them up in the early morning, and I sent them to the house to taste them for the old lady," he said with a smile.
Xiao Duan was very happy, and said to Chen: "The osmanthus wine that came out of the cellar yesterday, you have two jars for Chen Gui to take back." ”
Chen Gui hurriedly thanked him.
The etiquette was thoughtful, and Chen Gui introduced the situation of Honest Lane.
"It was a mess when I first entered the people, and the yamen had been cleared once, and the residents who had escaped also went to rummage through things one after another, but it was definitely different from the way we had to rebuild it.
As of yesterday, Gao An finally came out of the picture, Gao An bought some good wine and food, and took advantage of the festival to share points with everyone.
After finishing it in the last two days, you can connect to the follow-up process.
It just so happens that the weather is also cool, and you can do things neatly, and when you build all the way to the end of the year, you can live in the spring of the next year, and it is just right to hand it over to the yamen. ”
Xiao Duan listened with great satisfaction.
When Chen Gui finished his prayer, he quit the house.
Carrying the two jars of good wine handed to him by his grandmother, he heard the hurried footsteps behind him before he walked out of the door.
Chen Gui turned his head to look, and it was Lin Yunyan who caught up.
"Tonight, come with me to Honest Alley." Lin Yunyan said.
Chen Gui was surprised: "What are you doing there?" It's not that messy, but it's not a clean place. ”
"I had a dream," Lin Yunyan said casually, "There is something valuable buried in the house, and I have to dig it up."
Chen Gui looked at her with a bitter face.
Does the county lord think he is easy to deceive?
If you dream of knowing where there is a baby, why hasn't he Chen Gui dreamed of it?
If you don't believe it, when the third watch was approaching, Chen Gui was still honestly waiting outside the Bofujiao Gate.
When Lin Yunyan came, he pointed to the sedan chair not far away: "Please." ”
The moonlight of the sixteenth night was bright, but tonight the clouds were dense, not to mention the full moon, and there were not even a few stars.
The honest alley in the middle of the night was frighteningly quiet, and Bang Yue shivered as soon as she stepped in.
Chen Gui lit the lantern, and the cover was so thick that only a little light could be revealed.
He took one to Bang Yue, and carried another one himself: "Although no one will come at this hour, we still have to be cautious, in case something happens, it will be difficult to do." ”
Bang Yue held a lantern in one hand and Lin Yunyan in the other, that is, next to her own girl, which gave her a little courage.
Hearing Chen Gui say this, she couldn't help asking, "What will happen?" Chen Dongjia, don't scare the slave maid, the slave maid is very timid......"
Chen Gui couldn't laugh or cry.
Where does he mean to be scary.
"Those who play the watch, pour the night incense," Chen Gui explained, "don't live in here now, and they don't go here, but if the lantern is too bright, others will see it at the entrance of the alley." ”
Saying this, Bang Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, this is bought by Jing Dongjia and Gao An, and it's not good to be discovered." ”
Lin Yunyan gently patted Bang Yue's hand: "Your courage really has to be practiced." ”
Bang Yue was very embarrassed.
"Let's go inside." Lin Yunyan said.
Chen Gui lifted the lantern very low, just shining on the ground in front of Lin Yunyan: "It's not easy to walk, you must be careful of your step." ”
Lin Yunyan watched as she walked.
The situation here is really bad.
The fire was so fierce that it destroyed the entire alley and implicated the alleys on the side.
The bungalows collapsed and collapsed, and there were also half-collapsed parts that were later cleaned up by the government's hands, leaving half of the house here.
Chen Gui saw Lin Yunyan walking and looking into the house on the left and right, so he said: "Look, it's much more tidy, the original broken stones and woods are piled up in the east and stubble, and they have all been moved away for a while......
Lin Yunyan walked half of the alley, stopped and asked, "I remember that it was agreed before, and the houses with only scorched wood shelves left will be demolished, right?" ”
"It's all knocked down," Chen Gui pointed to Lin Yunyan, "It was said to be repaired, but it was actually newly built, this household, and the one in front of it, the original capital still had a frame, and now it has been torn down."
As you know, we were thinking about the shortage of money at the time, and the few houses at the entrance of the alley that were far away from the fire point and had little damage were mainly renovated and demolished if they could not be used.
Later, Grandpa Guo came out with a big head, and we only occupied a small head, and suddenly we were rich.
I discussed with Jing Dongjia that it would be better to build it all over again, and it would look neat, clean, and decent. ”
Lin Yunyan looked at the empty "house" that even the walls connected to each other had been knocked off, and asked, "Do you want to move the foundation?" ”
In the charter, there is no plan to move the foundation.
"Jing Dongjia didn't mention it before he returned to Jiangnan," Chen Gui thought for a while and said, "But after tidying up, I found that some foundations were not good, and I definitely had to look at the reinforcement." ”
After listening to this, Lin Yunyan nodded.
She only knew that gold bricks had been dug out of this alley, but she didn't know which house came out of it.
At that time, Xu Jian was also chasing the next matter, and accidentally found this one, and only then did he know what happened before Chen Gui's death.
But it's just a few clues.
It is impossible to determine the location, to find the gold bricks, and to prove that Chen Gui's death was a murder caused by the gold bricks.
And now, Lin Yunyan wants to judge a rough idea here.
Businessmen make profits, Jing Da saturates Chen Gui like this, so in the past, the two proprietors who did this business with Chen Gui were also the same.
It's just that the fire has been experienced, not the ground is moving, and the overall foundation of the alley is in good condition.
Generally speaking, unless a tall building is to be erected, the foundation is not moved, and in the past, it was all bungalows.
"If you decide to reinforce, will you dig up the existing foundation?" Lin Yunyan asked.
Chen Gui scratched his head.
The county lord came to Honest Lane in the middle of the night just to study the foundation?
He couldn't figure it out, but he also replied seriously: "It depends on the situation." Generally speaking, there is no need to dig, the alley itself is based on broken brick clay, the foundation is very solid, and it is also a small job to reinforce, so as not to dig up and re-add soil and tamp. ”
"So," Lin Yunyan pointed to the dark alley, and finally asked, "If there is a house whose foundation is so bad that you can't stand it, and you can't repair it, and you have to dig it up and rebuild it, which one will it be?" ”
"Huh?" Chen Gui was dumbfounded.
What is the problem?
The county lord's train of thought, he really can't keep up.
Subconsciously, he looked at Bang Yue, wondering what the county lord meant by asking.
Bang Yue said: "What does the Chen Dongjia do when they watch the slaves? You're going to want to dig somewhere! ”
Chen Gui: ......
I really want to dig it!
