"While I'm still not angry, each of you slaps yourself ten big mouths, and then get out of here!" The young man in Chinese clothes picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He didn't even look at Liu Ziguang, as if he was talking to the air.
"Brother, are you talking to me? This doesn't seem to be your family's house. Even if I issue an eviction order, it won't be your turn." Liu Ziguang found a chair to sit down on and said carelessly.
"I'll say it again, before my temper gets worse, slap yourself in the face and get out. You don't have to do this and continue to talk here, but the consequences will be ugly. You can figure it out yourself."
There was an angry look on his face. If he hadn't seen that Liu Ziguang and others were also people of high status, they would have been beaten long ago.
"Your temper has become bad... Huh, why aren't you afraid that my temper will become bad? Let me tell you, grandpa is a member of the officialdom." As he spoke, Liu Ziguang stretched out one foot and stepped on the blue brick floor, revealing his feet.
Thin-soled fast boots.
The young man in fine clothes glanced at him sideways and mocked: "I can't tell that you are still from Liumen. I wonder if you are from the Ministry of Punishment? Or are you still an official from Dali Temple?"
"We are from the 50% Army Corps. What's going on? Are you scared?" Liu Ziguang said.
A group of people laughed so hard that their noses and tears came out. After laughing enough, the young man in fine clothes changed his face and shouted: "When did the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division become so rampant? Let me tell you, I am Dongchang
The factory supervisor, Eunuch Yang, drove down the Thirteen Taibao...and drove down the stall, Yang Xiaowu."
"Ah" Liu Ziguang and others were immediately shocked and dumbfounded.
"You won't be afraid until I reveal the brand name of Dongchang. It's too late to regret it now. Dongchang's rules are that if the sign is not displayed, it must be bloody. It's up to you whether to leave fingers or ears.
Bar….."
Yang Xiaowu was very satisfied with the effect after showing his sign. These cheap soldiers and horsemen really couldn't shed tears until they saw the coffin!
"Ah ha ha ha!" Liu Ziguang and others suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that Yang Xiaowu's expression changed from reserved to stunned, and then from stunned to angry. He slapped the table and shook Lao Gao's tea cup.
"Bold! How dare you laugh at Dongchang."
Liu Ziguang's expression changed, and his face, which was laughing so hard that he was crying, turned into an iron plate in the blink of an eye. He slapped the coffee table with his palm, almost breaking Huanghuali's coffee table.
"Scoffing? I'm going to beat you up! Do it!"
After giving an order, the two sides fought together. Yang Xiaowu came out to buy land this time. He was not brought with Dongchang's fans but his own servants, so he was no match for everyone in Nanchang. He was beaten to pieces with fists and kicks, and the hall
Yang Xiaowu was also punched into panda eyes by Liu Ziguang several times, and then kicked out.
"Get out! Don't let me see you again, or else I'll beat you every time I see you!"
Yang Xiaowu covered his face and crawled outside as he ran outside. As he ran, he turned back and said, "If you have the guts, don't leave! Grandpa will come to settle the score with you tomorrow at this time!"
"I'm waiting for you!" Liu Ziguang yelled at his back, turned around and smiled at the widow of the Yan family who had been watching their commotion silently, cupped her hands and said, "I'm just kidding, my Excellency Liu Ziguang, specially bought your mansion for me.
Come from the farm."
The fight between more than 20 big men in their yard just now didn't seem to have any shock to the Yan family's widow. Her face was as calm as dead water. After a long while, she quietly replied: "Buy it, but you can't just buy the land without buying the house. Second,
One hundred acres of land plus two houses, a total of thirty thousand taels of silver."
Thirty thousand taels of silver buys a large field and two dilapidated houses, one of which is a ghost house. This price is not cheap. You must know that a good two-bed river house in the capital only costs 500 taels of silver. However,
Liu Ziguang was wealthy and generous, so he didn't care about this small amount of money. He immediately took out a 30,000 tael silver note and gave it to the widow of the Yan family in exchange for the land deed.
"Sir, if we beat the people from Dongchang, what should we do if they come to retaliate later?" Sun Gang asked. Naturally, the people in the capital were not as afraid of Dongchang as the men in the red shirt regiment.
"It doesn't matter, we are from the South Factory, why should we be lower than the East Factory? Besides, don't we have internal control? We will call our admiral to come over tomorrow to visit the new factory site. Then we will see how powerful the East Factory is.
He's still very good at internal fucking." Liu Ziguang chuckled.
"Sir, you are very clever. You can make them two factions fight each other with just one move." Sun Gang praised with a smile on his face.
"What kind of dog bites a dog? Mr. Li is our boss, not a dog." Liu Ziguang corrected him sternly. Although everyone now gets a monthly salary from the Queen Mother's internal funds, how can Liu Ziguang's salary be so much?
No matter what titles they hold on their heads, these people are always loyal to themselves in their hearts.
Liu Ziguang, who had obtained the property deed, led a group of men out of Yan's Mansion and began to inspect his new territory according to the coordinates marked on the land deed. While looking at it, he planned to build a barracks here, a school field there, and build a few roads.
It leads to Jubao Gate, Zhengyang Gate, and Tongji Gate, which facilitates the army's timely entry into the capital. Those tenants of the Yan family can also be retained to serve as handymen in the South Factory, so as not to interrupt their livelihood.
After walking in the sun for a long time, they couldn't help but feel thirsty. Everyone turned back to the Yan family's house to ask for water. They discovered that there was an ancient well under the big locust tree at the door. The barrel was next to it. In summer, the water from the deep well is cool and sweet, which is better than tea.
After drinking too much, everyone used their hands and feet to lift the water out of the well. They sat casually under the big tree, drinking water to enjoy the coolness, bragging and chatting. The sun in the sky was hot, and the cicadas on the tree kept chirping. Liu Ziguang suddenly saw
There was an illusory figure flashing in the corner of another house. Is this place really haunted? Aren't ghosts afraid of the sun being so poisonous? Out of curiosity, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but walked over.
The distance between the two houses is only one wall. Between the two walls, in a corner where the sun does not shine, a woman's figure is huddled there. There is a small fire in front of her, and the draft blows up the ashes from time to time. It looks very evil.
, Liu Ziguang got closer and closer, and heard the woman whispering: "Uncle, sister-in-law, I am sorry for you. I should not stop complaining about my husband-in-law plotting to kill you. You also called my husband-in-law away, and the Yan family was separated. You always
It’s time to be satisfied, now I’ve sold my house and land, and all the money will be returned to you…”
Liu Ziguang didn't have time to care about these family murders that happened many years ago. He was concerned about what the woman was burning. He took a few steps and stepped on the fire to put it out. He lowered his head and pulled it. Sure enough, what he was burning was the thirty thousand taels he had just given her.
There are seven or eight banknotes that have been burnt, and only a few are intact.
"You're crazy, these are banknotes, not paper money!" Liu Ziguang said, shaking two broken banknotes.
"The money, the house, all belong to other people...you have to return them to them..." The widow of the Yan family walked away from him with empty eyes and walked away. She seemed to have some mental problems.
"Why are you so excited?" Liu Ziguang muttered and continued to rummage through the pile of ashes. The broken banknotes could still be redeemed at Rishengchang. It would be a waste to treat them as paper money. As he was digging through the ashes, he suddenly noticed the surroundings of the ashes.
A circle was drawn, and the exit of this circle pointed to the more dilapidated house, which was the haunted house in the tenant's account.
Is there really a ghost? It can scare the living people of the Yan family to death. Liu Ziguang's curiosity suddenly surged up and he took a look at the house that had been in disrepair. The dense leaves seeped out from the courtyard walls, and were blown away by the wind.
There was a rustling sound, but there was nothing strange about it in broad daylight.
Just when Liu Ziguang was about to jump over the wall to see what was going on, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance, and then Sun Gang shouted: "Sir, Miss Peng has something to ask you to go back."
It turned out that Peng Jinrong sent someone to call. It seemed that the family didn't know what happened. Liu Ziguang hurriedly led his men back to the river house. When he asked, it turned out that it was the iron factory that sent the express message. Factory owner Peng asked the eldest lady to rush back if it was urgent.
Peng Jinrong originally came to the capital to accompany Liu Ziguang for medical treatment. Now that the matter has been resolved, there is no reason to continue to stay in the capital. I don’t know what happened at home. Let’s go back and take a look. Liu Ziguang’s affairs are complicated, so I won’t leave them for now.
Follow back.
Peng Jingrong worked vigorously and resolutely, packed up her things and set off with a few attendant maids. Liu Ziguang took her to the dock outside Shuixi Gate. The two lingered for a long time, until the steamer's whistle blew several times.
respectively.
Peng Jinrong left, and Liu Ziguang suddenly felt very boring. After dinner, he was bored. Eunuch Li and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division had made an appointment to go to the countryside together tomorrow to see the location of the South Factory. If something happens to that haunted house by then,
It is difficult to deal with any problem. People in ancient times were superstitious. The place you finally bought cannot be rejected because of this. After all, you have nothing to do, so you might as well take the opportunity to explore the ghost house at night.
The decision was made. Liu Ziguang put on urban camouflage night clothes, took a hundred bags and weapons, quietly slipped out of the river house, ran along the ridge of the roof, and ran towards the outside of the city. Along the way, he saw many beds propped up in the yard.
The mosquito net is hanging, and the white body is sleeping under the mosquito net with the cattail fan swinging. It is a wonderful sight in Nanjing's hot summer.
Liu Ziguang didn't have time to watch this. He jumped all the way, climbed out of the south gate with the flying tiger, and ran towards the Yan family's house. There were no pedestrians in the suburbs at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Liu Ziguang ran very fast, and he arrived soon.
At the destination, the Yan family's old house at this time was no different than it was during the day. Under the cover of the dense trees, strange shadows were cast on the courtyard wall, the paint on the closed door was peeling off, and a gloomy air came out vaguely, from time to time.
There were unknown birds chirping in the woods and the faint barking of dogs coming from the distant villages. It really felt like a fairy tale.
