Lin Ziyi withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "This general is just asking casually."
Mr. Li laughed dryly, nodded and said, "Thank you, General, for caring about you. I will take my leave today!"
"I won't send it off." Lin Ziyi said calmly.
After watching Mr. Li go away, Mu Gu walked out from behind the column.
"In Li Dacai's account book, there are transaction records between Mr. Lin and his son Lin Chang. Suddenly there is money to open a restaurant. I don't know how much blood the money is stained! Why don't we just arrest him!" Mu Gu said angrily.
If it were someone else, Mu Gu wouldn't be so angry. Mr. Lin's full name is Lin Heshou, and he is the distant cousin of the old lady.
His current official position was arranged by Lin Ziyi's father, and all of this was done for the sake of the old lady.
Since the death of the old general, Lin Heshou and his wife Gusu Shi have been visiting him every now and then.
Lin Ziyi's thoughts were all spent in the military camp, he did not go back to the general's mansion often, and he did not take Lin Heshou's attempts to please them seriously.
I just thought that if they could make the old lady happy, they would give her some money!
Lin Ziyi has never been a stingy person, but he never expected that he would raise a white-eyed wolf!
If it weren't for that account book, who would have thought that this distant relative who was always caring for the old lady would actually collude with Li Dacai to murder him!
The reason why he came back to his home today was to find out what Lin Heshou was doing!
"Send someone to follow Lin Heshou. I want to know what he has seen and where he has been!" Lin Ziyi narrowed his eyes and looked coldly.
Mu Gu understood what he meant, the general just wanted to use him to find the person behind him.
The purpose of the sudden move was to make him panic so that he could report to the master behind him.
As expected of the master!
"Subordinate, go right now!"
As soon as Mu Gu walked away, Qi Tianxiao trotted over and sat down on the railing in front of Lin Ziyi, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Brother Ziyi! I just saw an acquaintance. I searched around the general's mansion and couldn't find him!"
"The acquaintance you mentioned refers to the one who paid you three taels of silver?" Lin Ziyi walked down the corridor.
Qi Tianxiao jumped off the railing and chased after him, "Yes, yes, that's him! I thought I saw him just now, but I can't find him now. Could it be that he left the table early!"
"No, I have to go look outside and pay back the three hundred taels of silver I owe him!" After saying that, he trotted out of the house.
Lin Ziyi shook his head gently and said helplessly: "There are not many people who can be so interested in him these days!"
Just when Lin Ziyi was about to leave the general's mansion and go to the military camp for night training, he suddenly remembered something.
Speaking of which, he had not seen Xia Jin since he brought her here. He had been busy investigating the case these days and had forgotten about her.
Seeing Nanny Lin coming towards her, Lin Ziyi called her to stop.
"Mother Lin, are you still used to living in the General's Mansion, Miss Xia?"
Nanny Lin bowed and replied: "When Miss Xia arrives at the General's Mansion, we will provide her with good food and drink, and her life will be smooth!"
"That's good……"
Xia Jin lay on the roof and rolled her eyes when she witnessed all this!
What delicious food and drinks are offered to Xia Jin when she is a clay Buddha statue? Speaking of which, it seems that Granny Lin has not arranged for anyone to deliver food to Changle Yuan in the past few days.
Xia Jin goes out every day, so she doesn't pay much attention to this matter.
Looking back now, it's really disgusting! This old woman did something to her face and did something behind her back. Is she deliberately trying to tease her, right?
Xia Jin easily grabbed a four-legged snake, held it up to its waist, and threw it along the eaves. It landed right on Nanny Lin's head. After a while, she heard a scream, and then heard the sound of it falling into the pond.
Xia Jin covered her mouth and suppressed laughter.
"Very interesting?" A pleasant voice came from behind.
Xia Jin turned around and saw a man standing behind him. This man had half-tied hair and was wearing a black robe. He was quite handsome, with deep eyes, a straight nose, lips that were neither thin nor thick, and a sense of warmth about him.
The taste of both good and evil is a bit like the male protagonist in a Korean drama.
"Who are you?" Xia Jin asked.
"Same as you, I like people watching the fun." The man smiled half-heartedly.
Xia Jin rolled her eyes, "This is the General's Mansion. I advise you to look elsewhere to watch the excitement. If the General discovers it, your life will be in danger!" Xia Jin made a gesture of wiping her neck.
After saying that, Xia Jin jumped off the roof.
The man looked at the direction she left, thoughtfully. This light skill was so amazing. When did such a master appear in the General's Palace? And she was a woman!
"Your Majesty!" A dark figure appeared behind him.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"Lin Ziyi has begun to suspect Lin Heshou and has sent people to keep an eye on him. Shouldn't we take any action?"
The man raised his hand and waved, "Let's wait and see for now."
"yes!"
After saying that, the man was about to leave, but he saw an earring dropped on the roof, which was left by her...
He picked it up and put it in his hand, "Looks like we'll see you next time..."
...In Changle Courtyard, Siji was vividly showing Xia Jin how furious Aunt Lin was after falling into the water.
Xia Jin was so amused by her that she couldn't stop laughing. If Shiji reaches the modern age, he will definitely be a cross talk actor. This talent is simply innate!
"I don't know how the old lady is doing?" Siji looked in the direction of the main courtyard, feeling a little worried. After all, they encountered harmful things, how could they ignore it!
Xia Jin held her chin and murmured: "She must have seen the note stuffed under the old lady's pillow yesterday, right? If she saw it, she would be careful. We have done a good thing!"
Just as she was thinking about it, a cuckoo chirped outside the wall, which was the secret signal for her to meet Mo Tuo.
Xia Jin jumped out of the fence. When Mo Tuo saw her coming out, he hurried over to greet her and said excitedly: "We have found a suitable house! Do you want me to go over and have a look?"
Xia Jin didn't expect Mo Tuo to be so efficient!
Xia Jin had seen it before, but she only knew the price. You must know that this is the capital, and houses are very popular. If you want to buy ready-made, you must either buy it quickly or rely on connections to buy it.
"I just posted it yesterday. I rushed over to inform my boss early this morning! Boss, let's go over and have a look!"
Xia Jin followed Mu Gu through a street, two streets away from the General's Mansion, and stopped in front of a house.
Although the courtyard is not big, the layout inside is quite in line with Xia Jin's expectations. However, the courtyard is very desolate and must have been abandoned for a long time. However, the structure and architecture of the house do not seem to have any problems.
Just take some time to do some gardening!
"Old sir, how much money does this house cost?" Xia Jin asked.
The old man held out five fingers and said, "At least five thousand taels of silver, not a penny less!"
"It's so expensive! The yard is so shabby, it's only three thousand taels of silver at most!" Siji bargained.
"The location here is good, and there are many dignitaries nearby, so we want this price! Let's look at it, at least 4,500 taels, and I won't sell it for a penny less!" said the old man.
"We are going out of town and will never come to the capital again. There is no use keeping this house. It is empty and no one lives in it, so it is sold at a cheap price. You can compare the house prices of other houses nearby. It is four thousand five hundred taels.
Silver is definitely the cheapest!"
"I can accept this price, but I don't have that much silver on hand right now. How about I give you a deposit of one thousand taels of silver first, and the remaining three thousand five hundred taels will be given to you half a month later. How about that?"
"Xia Jin said.
The old man frowned, obviously not wanting to delay the payment for too long. Seeing that Xia Jin sincerely wanted it, he nodded.
"Well, seeing as the girl sincerely wants it, I'll give it to you at this price!"
"Thank you, old man!"
The old man nodded, Xia Jin took out a pen and paper and drafted a contract. After the two signed the agreement, each of them kept one copy.
Xia Jin took a look and found that the yard was finally settled!
Next, I have to find a way to earn 3,500 silver.
Desheng Building’s cooking competition will be held in these three days. “Four Seasons, let’s go to Desheng Building to sign up and earn this money!”
