A gentleman loves money and has the skill to take it.

Before being driven out of Hu Mansion by the expulsion order the day before yesterday, Sima Wenzhi said such words. Such an admonition is not without meaning.

But at that time, Hu Jushi's mind had been blinded and he was not able to listen. After several hours of digging and no gains, I remembered this sentence.

After a few people walked into the courtyard, Sima asked without delay. With strange steps, I went straight to the search. After repeated calculations, a place was selected for marking.

"Here you will be rewarded by going down three feet. After the marking, he spoke.

Hu Jushi was not convinced.

The place marked had been touched by someone he had sent before. I had dug five feet down, and I didn't see anything but dirt.

Although he was not convinced, he still summoned his henchmen and took the farm tools to dig up the place again. The backfill had not yet become solid, and the excavation was extremely fast, and it was not long before the sound of gold and iron intersecting.

Hearing the sound, Hu Jushi hurriedly ordered someone to move carefully and take out the items below. After identification, it was found to be a silver futon.

"Hu Yi, go to the treasury to get thirty taels of silver. After confirming this, he opened his mouth and instructed the butler.

The futon is cast in pure silver, with a length of more than a foot, about 100 taels, and he gets 70% according to the agreement. The futon could not be cut, so he folded it into cash and gave it thirty taels.

"Steward Hu, don't worry. ”

When Sima Wenzhi heard the words, he opened his mouth to stop Hu Yi, and looked at Hu Jushi while speaking. Seeing the doubts on his face, he immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"Master Hu, don't cash on the trail. ”

"Then what do you want?" Hu Jushi was unclear and asked.

"The imperial court prohibits the private purchase of salt and grain, and Lord Xu and I have no way, so we want to exchange the silver we get to Master Hu. Sima asked, saying another purpose here.

After hearing this, Hu Jushi showed hesitation on his face and did not respond immediately.

"The salt and grain exchanged for silver taels can be given to the outside world in the name of Hu Fu as before. Sima asked Zhi to take the initiative to back down.

After hearing this, Hu Jushi hesitated, but still did not respond.

"Fang Yu's predicament will not last forever, and it will be lifted after a few days. Seeing this, Sima asked and began to tell the hidden story.

"Is this true?" Hu Jushi finally moved and asked rhetorically.

"Although there is no token, it is true. Sima asked in the affirmative.

After the succession of wealth, his temptation of fame and fortune did not work, which shows that the crux of Hu Jushi's hesitation is not here.

Therefore, there is only one reason that can keep him from coveting money.

Hufu's salt and grain are not endless, and with no hope of succession, he can't promise it at will.

All the wishes have been fulfilled, Sima Wenzhi's worries are gone, and then he makes every effort to calculate and search. In the early afternoon, five hidden belongings were found, and more than 1,000 taels of silver were folded.

Every time he excavated and backfilled, Sima Wenzhi would choose one of the items he brought and bury it with the soil.

Hu Jushi didn't know why, so he opened his mouth to inquire and was told that these belongings were all windfall money. After taking it, you need to backfill it with other items to deceive the original owner.

Who the original owner was, no one asked, no one told.

When Sima Wenzhi was busy in Hu's mansion, Hu Jushi fulfilled his promise and sent his housekeeper Hu Yi to take out the stored grain in the granary and start making porridge. At the same time, he sent people again to the homes of the people in the city to inform them.

Not long after, hundreds of people gathered in front of Hu's house, and more people rushed here. Fortunately, Hufu is located in a remote area, and there is a large open space in front of the door. Although it is getting more and more crowded, it can barely accommodate hundreds of people.

When the servants of the Hu Mansion began to distribute porridge and food, Sima Wenzhi stopped his movements and said goodbye to Hu Jushi and left.

At this time, he said goodbye on purpose, to see how the porridge was being delivered.

Fortunately, it's not thick, but it's not thin.

Shortly after Sima Wenzhi and Fang Yu left the county order, Hu Jushi sent people out of the house again. The servants left in several carriages with several sacks of sackcloth.

After dark, when Hufu's carriage had not yet returned to the city, a figure took advantage of the night to climb over the city gate and walk out of the city. The direction of the trip is the fog before.

Only after this arrival, the fog no longer rises. After reciting a few words, the figure disappeared.

Two hours later, the aura disturbed where the previous traces had disappeared, and then the figure appeared. This time, I saw my face clearly by the moonlight, and it was Sima who asked.

There are no gold veins under Hufu, and no gold or silver will be generated.

The gold and silver excavated before were all buried by the Ghost King's subordinates. Where to bury it, how to obtain it, and what needs to be backfilled, are all told by the ghost king himself when he planned last time.

This visit was made a few days after the confirmation. Everything is expected, just follow the steps.

On the way back to the county office, Sima Wenzhi met a convoy. He could also see at night, hid in the dark to check, and recognized the driver as a servant of the Hu Mansion.

The shriveled sacks of burlap when they left the house were full at this time. Hu Jushi really has a way, he can bypass the ban of the imperial court and buy salt and grain to eat.

In the following days, the door of Hufu Mansion was open and closed day and night. But no matter whether it is open or closed, there will always be a shouting sound coming from the inner courtyard, and it will stop every afternoon.

Although some people were curious about it, no one pursued it. After a lapse of a few months, the Hu Mansion once again released grain relief, and the people's minds were on porridge and food, and they had no spare energy to take care of other things.

As more and more belongings were dug up from the ground of Hu Mansion, in addition to Hu Jushi's happy face, the sadness on Fang Yu's face finally faded. Although the land in the county has not changed, the predicament in the county has indeed eased.

At the very least, the immediate dilemma has been removed.

And so on, in two days' time, the seven-day period will be at the end of the period. When the signs of Mrs. Hufu's imminent delivery became more and more obvious, Sima Wenzhi stayed in the county office during the day and no longer went to Hufu.

Within a few days, under his guidance, Hu Jushi obtained the property, which was equivalent to more than 10,000 taels of pure gold. In addition, there are several items, all of which are antiquities and cannot be estimated.

He was content and no longer demanded. invited Wen Po to live in the house early, waiting for his wife to give birth to an heir.

Hu Jushi didn't know when the baby would be born, and Sima asked him to know. Not only do you know the time, but you also know the specific time. Today is the seventh day of the end of the day, and halfway through the night, when Mrs. Hu Fu gives birth, he will lead the ghost monarch into the reincarnation.

After a few days of hard work, although there was a harvest, the spiritual energy in the body was also consumed a lot. While waiting in the county office, Sima Wenzhi calmed down and began to guide the spirit to resume cultivation.

It is a bit risky to act in this way, because when it attracts spirits, it will cause spiritual energy disturbances, and if you are in a hurry, it will also cause celestial phenomena, which can be seen by the world, and even more so by your peers. But when he was about to act, he couldn't afford to worry about that.

Sure enough, half an hour later, with Sima Wen's bedroom as the center, a strong wind began to generate.
