Xu Qi'an rode a horse, the old agent set up the carriage, and in the carriage were Xu Lingyue and her aunt, as well as Xu Lingyin, who excitedly poked his head out of the window.

Because he was accompanied by a big man, he didn't bring maids and servants, and there were too many people to get in the way.

On the way, he bought some food for Xu Lingyue and Xu Lingyin, and Xu Qian said to the car window, "Do you want it?"

The aunt refused.

When they arrived at the house, they got out of the car, and Xu Qi'an saw her aunt wiping the corners of her mouth.

"The location is not bad, not far from the downtown area, and there is a river on the side...."The aunt was quite satisfied with the comment, standing at the door of the house, frowning and saying:

"It looks a little shabby. ”

Can it not be dilapidated, this is a haunted house.... Xu Qi'an said, signaling the old broker to open the door.

The aunt entered the house with her two daughters, and was greeted by a depressed and dilapidated scene, obviously desolate for many years, and unmanaged.

She frowned, "That's it?"

"This house has not been lived in for many years, not even rented, and the tooth shop thinks that 4,000 taels can be sold. It's just that the owner doesn't agree...."

Four thousand taels? The aunt squinted her eyes and asked casually, "How much does this house cost?" ”

"Five thousand taels. The old broker said.

The aunt didn't speak, but took her daughters and began to tour the house, picking thorns wherever she went. The old broker is also an experienced and cheeky man, and he is in the east, west, north and south.

Seeing this glamorous and the beautiful girl walking towards the inner courtyard, the old agent was startled and hurriedly looked at Xu Qi'an.

"It's fine. Xu Qi'an said.

It should be fine in broad daylight.... The old agent looked at the back of the beautiful woman, and the swaying ass was particularly attractive.

"Objectively do you really want to buy this house?"

"Hmm. ”

I'm really not afraid of death. The old agent was benevolent and righteous, so he stopped persuading and asked, "These two are..."

Xu Qi'an quipped: "What do you think?"

These words silenced the old broker, and he was a little embarrassed for a while. Mother and sister? No, not that young. And there is no mother's filial piety between them.

Well, that girl may be the wife of this old man, and the beautiful woman is the mother-in-law.... What about yesterday's girl in the yellow dress?

The old broker's vision is still old-fashioned, but he can't figure out the relationship between the two parties.

"The older is my aunt, and the younger is my sister. After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, seeing the old agent showing surprise, he smiled and said, "What's wrong." ”

The old agent shook his head, and said in his heart that he had never seen someone who bought a house and brought his sister and aunt together.

For the aunt must be the wife of an uncle or uncle, a member of the clan, not a member of the family. He took his aunt and cousin to see the house together, but he hadn't seen it.

....

Although the aunt was mean and said that the house was useless, she was actually very satisfied. It is also a three-entry mansion, but the area is much larger than that of the Xu Mansion in the outer city, and the pattern is not the same.

The pattern of Xufu is a civilian pattern, not as high-end and high-grade as here, if you have to distinguish it, it is probably a rural homestead and a high-end villa in the city.

Although they are all detached houses with several floors, they are of different grades.

It took an hour to read the entire house in detail, and the aunt and Xu Lingyue were very excited, and the latter secretly finalized his own house.

The aunt said tentatively: "I am afraid that I can't buy this lot for five thousand taels." ”

She picked thorns in order to lower the price, and after shopping, she suddenly found that five thousand taels was too cheap, and the smart aunt sensed that something was wrong.

Xu Qi'an pointed to the well not far away: "There have been ghosts in the well, well, there are really ghosts, and Miss Caiwei and I have verified it." ”

With two exclamations, Xu Lingyue and her aunt retreated behind Xu Qi'an in fright, and the former tightly grabbed the eldest brother's sleeve with a pair of small hands.

Ghost?

Xu Lingyin was also very scared, ran to the eldest brother's crotch and hid under his little short legs, and then looked at the well, swallowing saliva while being afraid.

Auntie's pretty face turned a little pale, and she didn't want to stay longer for a moment: "Don't buy it, go back." ”

She held a daughter in one hand and walked out of the house quickly, because she was walking too fast and her posture was swaying.

The old agent looked at Xu Qi'an with a sad face: "Are you entertaining me?"

Xu Qian waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, go to the tooth store to pay the deposit." ”

He didn't say that he had solved the female ghost, he was afraid that the price would start on the ground, and before the house deed and title deed were in hand, this was still a ghost house.

The carriage stopped outside the tooth shop, and there were aunts and two younger sisters sitting in the car, and when they heard that Xu Qi'an had gone to pay the deposit, the aunt was very angry.

"I won't live, let him live in the haunted house by himself, the little bastard just doesn't want our mother and daughter to take advantage. Auntie said angrily.

"Big brother is not such a person. Xu Lingyue shook her mother's arm.

As he was talking, Xu Qi'an came out, jumped into the driver's position, lifted the curtain and poked in half of his head: "It's almost noon, let's go to Guiyue Tower for dinner." ”

Auntie don't look away.

Xu Qi'an explained: "The female ghost in the house has been solved, you don't believe me, the warlock of Si Tianjian always believes it, right?"

Xu Lingyue nodded gracefully.

The aunt was shocked and stared at Xu Qi'an: "Really?"

"Why am I lying to my aunt. ”

Drove to Guiyue Tower and asked for a private room, Xu Qi'an took out a small jade mirror and passed the book: [No. 2, I remember you said that you were investigating the behind-the-scenes manipulators of the bandits in Yunzhou. 】

After sending the book, he put the mirror upside down on the table, lowered his head to eat, and after a while, the message reminder came.

[2: Yes, in the process of suppressing bandits, I found that there were a lot of baggage reserves in various villages. These things are not available to mountain bandits, and I suspect that there are forces behind them. 】

Xu Qi'an bowed slightly, the so-called baggage is military materials, including equipment, equipment, etc.

This topic sparked the interest of Number Four, as a former Dabong official, he was more concerned about the situation of the Dabong Dynasty.

[Four: You can try to start with the local government in Yunzhou, by the way, I remember that Yunzhou has a vassal king. 】

[2: Your king is just a prince with no real power, I have investigated him, and there is no problem. 】

[Three: How to investigate. 】

[2: Send someone to monitor the palace. 】

.... You call that an investigation? It's crude. Xu Qi'an complained in his heart and said: [I know the behind-the-scenes supporters of the bandits in Yunzhou. 】

“？？？”

A series of question marks flashed through the minds of Number Two and Number Four.

What information did Three get, and why did Three always get so much information? The news of the capital is just that, after all, it is his "territory", but Yunzhou has nothing to do with him.

I've been checking for so long and I don't have a clue, how could he possibly know the backers behind the Yunzhou bandits.... No. 2 knew that No. 3 was a person, and he always thought that he was a scholar with high moral character, so he did not question it, but solemnly sent a biography:

[Two: What's the matter, well, number three, you tell me the inside information, when I owe you a favor. 】

[Three: Oh, no, I admire you for being a person, this news is free. 】

When the relationship is not deep, it is necessary to talk about the transaction and put an end to prostitution. After one birth and two re-maturity, it is necessary to develop feelings and reduce the interests of each other.

The free ones are the most expensive, because the thing that replaces the transaction is affection. When the friendship between each other becomes deeper and deeper, the thing of white prostitution appears.... No, how can friends call it a white prostitute, it is to help each other.

This time, No. 2 prostituted his news, and tomorrow he can prostitute No. 2 for nothing.

[Three: It is the Witch God Sect in the Northeast, and the Witch God Sect is the driving force behind the bandits in Yunzhou. Well, my news is not necessarily accurate, so you can use it as a reference. 】

Even if the Wushen Sect is not the back-the-scenes supporter of the Yunzhou bandits, most of them can't get out of it, and this matter was confided to No. 2, and Xu Qi'an had the idea of letting No. 2 investigate.

The Witch God Sect is the driving force behind the bandits in Yunzhou? No. 2 stared at the text information in the jade mirror, and was silent for a long time: [How did you know, from what channel?] Well, I'm not testing you for anything, but I want to know the authenticity of the news. 】

[Three: It's okay, last night the watchmen discovered a stronghold of the Wushen Sect in the capital, and they have close contacts with the Ministry of Works....]

He explained the matter in general and didn't go into too much detail, after all, his identity was a student of Yunlu Academy, not a watchman who participated in the case. The focus is on the Ministry of Works' Shangshu to provide artillery, equipment and other military materials for the Wushen Cult.

I see, I see... No. 2 clenched his fists excitedly and said: [This news is very important to me, it verifies one of my previous guesses, thank you. I was suddenly annoyed that the Golden Lotus Dao Elder hadn't pulled you into the Heaven and Earth Society earlier. 】

[Nine: Talk about business, talk about business, don't hold hostage. 】

After a pause, the Golden Lotus Daoist wrote: [Nine: However, the Witch God Sect secretly supports the Yunzhou bandits, which means little to them. 】

[Four: Yes, Yunzhou is in the southeast, and the territory of the Wushen Sect is in the northeast, and the two places are thousands of miles apart. 】

Neither military alliances nor trade exchanges are realistic.

That's exactly what I wondered... Xu Qi'an said: [No. 2, you can try to check it, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to find out. 】

At this time, No. 1, who likes to peep at the screen, jumped out: [The matter of the Ministry of Works, reminds me of a detail in the Sambo case.

[The gunpowder was quietly buried in the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple through the former Ministry of Rites through Zhou Baihu, as well as the convenience of arranging the ancestor worship ceremony, so who lit the fire?]

[2: Forbidden Army?]

[Three: It's not a forbidden army, I have checked all the entry and exit of the forbidden army that night, all the sacrifices of the patrol, and those who are not patrolling also have alibi certificates... Besides, the Ministry of Rites can't summon the forbidden army. 】

[2: Why?]

[One: This is a court secret. 】

What is the secret of the imperial court is not confidential, isn't it that Emperor Yuan Jing will ask the Si Tianjian Warlock to ask the forbidden army once a month.... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.

His heart moved, and some clues suddenly broke through, as if he had opened up the second vein of Ren Du: [No. 1 means that the people of the Wushen Sect ignited the explosives in the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple?]

[One: Hmm.] 】

[Nine: It's a paper man. 】

[One: The Taoist is so determined?]

[Nine: Heh, the paper puppet technique is still passed out by the Daomen, I naturally know it. The ability of the paper man is low, so it is stronger than the ant, and can hide the perception of the warrior. It is not difficult to sneak into the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple silently. But paper figurines can be used as a medium to ignite gunpowder. 】

[One: In other words, there are both demon clans and witch gods involved in the Sambo case. So the Qi Party must have known about this?]

[Three: No, it's not right, the Qi Party and the Wushen Sect are only cooperative relations, not superiors and subordinates, and the Wushen Sect can't tell the Qi Party everything. 】

[One: But one thing can be confirmed, the Witch God Cult has an affair with the Demon Clan. 】

The demon clan blew up Sambo for the sake of sealing, so what is the purpose of the Witch God Cult? It shouldn't be the severed hand of the Shenshu monk, otherwise there will be a conflict of interest, and the two sides will fight.... Xu Qi'an thought about it while stretching out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but the clip was empty.

The dishes, which are not much, have been eaten up by the mother and daughter, and the small beans are full of red light.

“.... Have a virtue with Chu Caiwei. Xu Qi'an scolded and called for Xiao Er to add vegetables.

After eating, leaving Guiyue Tower, Aunt and Lingyue entered the carriage first. Xu Lingyin saw that there was a maltose seller opposite, pulled the eldest brother's trousers, and asked the eldest brother to buy it for himself pitifully.

Xu Qi'an took her to buy it, and said with a knife and a tofu heart, and scared: "The maltose is too hard, be careful of damaging your teeth." ”

Xiao Douding is an expert in the field of eating, and he is not afraid at all: "It's okay, I will eat it from hard to soft." ”

When Xu Qi'an heard this, he smiled: "If you have the ability, you can eat it from soft to hard." ”

Xiao Douding admits defeat: "Then I don't have such a big ability... Big brother is okay. ”

"Big brother can't, but a terrible trickster, you can eat maltose from soft to hard, and then from hard to soft. ”

"Troublemakers, can my sister and mother do it? ”

I refuse to answer this question. ”

"Why, big brother. Xu Lingyin blinked her innocent eyes.

"Don't ask why, Suzune, why do you always force your eldest brother to drive. ”

PS: I know some people stayed up until midnight waiting for an update, and I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long. But I've been bursting my liver until now. I've been coding words and haven't broken my promises.
