When Hongtao returned to Jiuquli, she happened to see Qian Laoer showing people the house.
As the news that the master of the Shange Pavilion lived in Jiuquli gradually leaked out, nine out of ten households now live in Jiuquli, which is very different from two months ago.
Hongtao returned to the courtyard, Qingyu Zhufeng and Shi'an were meditating under the willow tree. She also sat there and talked about the things in the alley, "Just now another household came to Jiuquli, and now the house prices in Jiuquli
, it has risen to four hundred and fifty taels."
Zhufeng couldn't help but laugh: "We really got a big deal."
Qingyu said, "Everything you gain must also lose something. I made a divination the day before yesterday, which is the 'Shui Tian Litigation' hexagram."
"Shui Tian Litigation? What does this mean?" Hong Tao asked.
Shi'an opened his eyes and was a little worried: "This is a lawsuit. Who are we going to litigate with?"
Qingyu did not deny it, but said to Hongtao: "The hexagram will come true today. Before that, there is something that senior sister needs to find."
When Hongtao heard that a lawsuit was about to be filed, she hurriedly went over. After Qingyu warned her like this, Hongtao stood up and said, "I'll go right away." Then she hurriedly left.
Zhufeng frowned slightly: "Junior Sister, Head, can this disaster be avoided?"
Qingyu nodded slightly, with cold eyes, "You can avoid it, but I don't want to avoid it."
There must be a reason why the head junior sister does not avoid disaster. Zhufeng didn't ask any more questions, but kept guessing in his mind.
...
It was night, and Tao Yaju had just finished her meal when she heard a rapid knock on the door.
Xu Lan and Old Man Xu were both a little strange. They knew that Tao Yaju had been blinded by a blind formation. Normally, ordinary people "couldn't see" Tao Yaju. Why would someone knock on the door so late?
"I'll open the door." Xu Lan took the lead and walked out.
But Qingyu and the others, because of their extraordinary ears, had already heard the shouts outside the hospital.
"Is there anyone? Is anyone at home? Girl Heart, Girl Heart..." The voice was anxious.
Xu Lan trotted to the door of the courtyard. She didn't rush to open the door, but asked: "Who is it? Who are you looking for?"
The voice outside the door was excited and choked, "It's me...I...I'm Matchmaker Liao. Qian Laoer asked me to come to Jiuquli Taoyaju to find Miss Hongtao. Please open the door. I'm in a hurry.
You must meet the Heart Girl."
Xu Lan also heard about the name of Matchmaker Liao, so she opened the courtyard door. As soon as the door opened, a rose-red figure rushed in. Her face was originally covered with makeup, but now it was blurred by sweat or tears.
Matchmaker Liao grabbed Xu Lan, panting and crying, "Girl of Heart, Girl of Heart."
Xu Lan's wrists hurt from being grabbed by her, but she comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm not Miss Heart. The Second Miss is in the inner courtyard. I'll take you in."
Xu Lan had no choice but to break into a trot, leading Matchmaker Liao, and they hurried back to the main room in the inner courtyard.
At that time, Qingyu and others were already sitting in the main room waiting.
As soon as Matchmaker Liao entered the main room, she looked around with confused eyes, "May I ask who is the Heart Girl?"
"I am." Hong Tao was a little surprised, "What does Qian Laoer want to do with me?"
Matchmaker Liao knew that it was Brother Qian who was looking for him regardless of what Hongtao said. She just cried and told the whole story, "In the afternoon, I was cooking dinner for Brother Qian at his house. I...we had dinner.
I went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Before I finished washing the dishes, I heard Brother Qian's shout.
I quickly ran out to take a look and saw several officials detaining Brother Qian. I went up to stop him and asked them why, but they said that Brother Qian had defrauded people of their money.
Miss Hongtao, if you know him, you must know who he is. How could he cheat people out of money? But the officials didn't listen and just took the person away.
I originally wanted to go with him, but Brother Qian asked me to come to Tao Yaju in Jiuqu to find Miss Hongtao. Miss Hongtao, you must have a way to save him. I heard a lot about you from Brother Qian. Please
You must save him."
Matchmaker Liao was about to kneel down as she spoke. Hong Tao quickly grabbed her and advised: "Don't be anxious, let me stroke it first."
After sitting down Matchmaker Liao, Hongtao looked at Qingyu in surprise: "So, it's not us who are suing, but Qian Laoer?"
"It's the same. Both of us are involved in this matter," Qingyu said.
Hong Tao thought for a moment, "It's not something I, as a child, can do. I have to... my father step in."
Matchmaker Liao looked at Zhufeng again, crying and begging: "Master, please come forward and save Qian Laoer."
Zhufeng also knew about the relationship between Qian Laoer and Tao Yaju. Qian Laoer also helped a lot when Hongtao was taking the dental exam. Even if the matter had nothing to do with his family, Zhufeng would definitely come forward to help.
Then he comforted him and said, "I'm going to go to the Yamen to inquire. Don't worry. Qian Laoer is a lucky man and will definitely be fine."
When matchmaker Liao heard this, she was relieved and cried and laughed, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
Zhufeng didn't waste any time and immediately went out with the Book Cao Tong pass given by Shi'an.
...
When he came to the inner city, Zhufeng made some inquiries and asked that Qian Laoer had been arrested and taken to the Hucao Yamen. Zhufeng felt strange, shouldn't Zhizhong be responsible for civil affairs? How come he was arrested by Hucao?
Zhufeng came to Hucao Yamen, and after several attempts to bribe him, he entered the Yamen cell and was led to Qian Laoer's cell.
Qian Laoer looked haggard. He was dressed in a dirty prison uniform and had chains on his hands and feet. He seemed to have lost his mind. He obviously never dreamed that he would suffer such a crime.
"Qian Laoer." Zhufeng called.
Qian Laoer suddenly came back to his senses, saw Zhufeng clearly, and immediately, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, he climbed to his knees and knelt down at the door of the cell. He grabbed the iron prison tightly with both hands and was speechless for a long time before shouting "Boss Zhuhu".
”.
Zhufeng squatted down and asked, "What's going on? Can I tell you the reason?"
Qian Laoer sighed heavily and nodded slowly, "I told you. It's the He family."
"The He family? Why are you involved with the He family again?" Zhufeng became more and more puzzled.
Qian Laoer hesitated for a moment and then said apologetically: "Taoyaju was originally the house of the second young master of the He family. It was sold to you at the market value of one hundred and twenty taels.
But now that house prices have risen, the He family feels that they have suffered a loss, so they use this as an excuse to sue me for quoting a fake price that is seriously inconsistent with the market value. The house has been returned to the Cao family, so they arrested me and said that I will be tried in court tomorrow."
Zhufeng suddenly understood and secretly thought that this was what the head junior sister meant when she said "all the same". Qian Laoer was arrested and had something to do with Tao Yaju. Once they were brought to court, they would definitely be brought to court.
"Don't worry, this matter has something to do with us, and you will definitely not be wronged in vain." Zhufeng comforted him.
Qian Laoer sighed, "The original market value was determined by the fact that it was haunted and its reputation plummeted, but it is haunted... This is not a reliable evidence. I'm afraid that the trial will be detrimental to us."
As long as the He family insists that it is not haunted and that it is a rumor, then I will not be able to explain it clearly with ten mouths."
Zhufeng put one hand through the cell door railing and patted Qian Laoer on the shoulder, "Just wait until tomorrow. This matter will definitely be resolved."
