Yo, grandpa is here

Chapter 152 Are you interested in staying overnight?
"After Gao Yuanwai died in prison, when these shops were empty in the middle of the night, there were mournful cries, and several watchmen said they heard it."

When Fei Peng talked about this passage, he deliberately lowered his voice, trying to create a sense of horror with his big tongue.

Qingqing was amused by the child, she wanted to laugh, and she even pretended to be scared on purpose.

Fei Peng was very satisfied with this attitude, and continued talking.

"There was also a watchman who saw the ghost of Gao Yuanwai floating out of the house, with such a long tongue, it was so red!" Fei Peng compared his waist, it was as long as from the mouth to the stomach, it was not scary!

Qingqing put her hand over her mouth pompously, trying to play the role of a person who is frightened by a ghost story.

"Fei Peng, aren't you afraid?" Qingqing asked.

Fei Peng shook his head and said proudly:
"The doctor said, we practitioners do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and ghosts dare not come to us. When I grow up, I want to be a doctor and hang the pot to help the world. I'm not afraid."

"Hey? Why do you have a big tongue behind you?" Qingqing pointed behind him, Fei Peng's eyes widened in fright, and his voice trembled, "Don't, don't talk nonsense."

"If you don't believe me, look back?"

Fei Peng turned his head tremblingly, and Qingqing patted him on the shoulder quickly.

"Ah! Tongue hit you on the shoulder!"

"Ahhh!!!" Xiao Feipeng's screams spread through the house to the street.

Qingqing originally wanted to play a joke on him, but was startled by the child's screams. Fei Peng ran out while covering his ears, still crying.

"Help me, doctor~~~"

"Uh, this." Qingqing looked at Fei Peng's miserable appearance, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"I thought the kid was quite courageous. I won't scare the kid, right?"

Qingqing really didn't expect that Fei Peng, who said so powerfully, was so timid.

"But having said that, even if Gao Yuanwai dies in prison, his family property won't be his turn to become an official, right?" Qingqing asked Buli.

Without a nod.

"Fei Peng also said that Gao Yuanwai has only one daughter. In the past, wedded daughters and virgin daughters were separated, but this dynasty has abolished these distinctions."

If a girl is not married, she is a Virgo girl. According to the previous regulations, only Virgo girls can inherit a small amount of inheritance, and married girls do not.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, this article was changed, and no distinction was made between virgins and married women, but the clan was forced to give the adoptive sons of families without sons an heir. In a sense, this further deprived women of their inheritance rights.

If the clan does not have an heir, the daughter can inherit the father's inheritance.

"Only if the clan has no heirs and no daughters, can the property be used as an official. I don't know if there are any clans outside the high-ranking officials, but from the final whereabouts of this property, we can probably imagine what happened, and it is natural to be 'haunted'."

Both Buli and Qingqing are staunch atheists.

Although the two of them often play tricks on pretending to be ghosts, neither of them believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world.

So when Fei Peng said it was haunted just now, neither of them took it to heart.

"I thought it was a free shop, but I didn't expect it to be controversial, hey."

Qingqing sighed, she was most afraid of getting involved in these messy things, she just wanted to make some small money in peace, eat better, and dress warmer.

Unexpectedly, it was still involved.

"It may be that someone from the Gao clan is pretending to be a ghost, or it may be that the daughter of a member of the Gao family is pretending to be a ghost, or it may be that the two gangs pretended to be a ghost together. No matter what, find out this matter first. Before you find out, There is no need to decorate this shop for the time being, it just so happens that it will take time for me to open up the relationship with Qingfeng Village."

Qingqing's head is a little swollen.

Now she not only felt that Zhao Si would be unlucky at any time, but even the officials in this county felt unstable.

"The local yamen blatantly occupy other people's money. What's the difference between them and bandits? See the big from the small. There must be a lot of public grievances in various places. If I were the emperor who sewed his power into his pants, I would definitely not be able to sit still now, hold back." It is an opportunity to rectify the atmosphere in the officialdom, build up prestige, and at the same time clean up a wave of people who don't like it."

"It won't affect us for the time being, right?" Buli felt that she was thinking too far.

"How to say this kind of thing, it all depends on luck. There are several prerequisites that must be met. From a macro point of view, the emperor in pants must have the determination to rectify the court. I think this is already stable. Look at him, he came up to change again. Currency also strengthens the exploitation of women's rights, so it looks like a person who likes to mess around. This kind of person is small-minded, and he must be looking for opportunities to rectify the officialdom."

"Our county is so small, and it's far away from the capital. Can he use us?"

"Throughout the dynasties, if the ruling class wants to do something, it will definitely not start from the side. The power center gathers all kinds of forces, and if they don't play well, they will be burned. From a place far away from the power center, pick a place with great influence and public attention. More incidents, less risk and better effect.”

It not only demonstrates the greatness of heaven's grace, but also fights cattle across mountains, weakening the power of political opponents.

"Look, although our shop is small, it is already full of buffs. First of all, the emperor underpants must be holding back to show the monkeys, looking for opportunities to catch typical examples. Secondly, this small shop is condensed behind it. The corruption of dozens of officials from the Quanzhou government to the county government, and there are also life lawsuits."

She and Buli have never been out of the county, but judging from the details that Zhao Si can be promoted by sending a lipstick, it is self-evident that Quanzhou's officialdom is very popular.

Hearing what she said, Buli's face became serious, he thought it was easy.

"The most important point is that this shop is haunted and there is a lot of noise, which shows that the victim's family members are not reconciled. How do you know that they won't go to Beijing to sue? As long as someone sues, this matter will immediately ferment. But I I believe that there must be many similar cases in various places, and it depends on who is the lucky one and 'hits the jackpot'."

Although Qingqing is usually smiling, she is a politician-type talent cultivated by her family with all her strength. This political acumen is like an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for decades, and she can easily judge the possible potential risks of this shop.

"In that case, we just don't want it, and return it to Zhao Si." Buli didn't want to take risks for a shop.

It only cost a few dozen taels to buy a shop, and the housing price was not so high that he couldn't match it, so why bother to go into the muddy water.

"It's not a secret to offend Zhao Si if we still have a shop now, and we can't do it for the time being, and it's not a secret that our family is close to Zhao Si. If Zhao Si and the others are caught as a model for 'winning the big prize', we are already under the guillotine. Therefore, we have to hold the initiative in our own hands."

"You mean—" Buli understood a little bit.

"Buli, are you interested in staying with me here for a night to catch a 'ghost'?"
