Chapter 123 123: Are you going to push your feet? (one more)
The location of this tea brick workshop is the closest to Jiefu, and not far from Xu's house.

Chang Xi glanced at the terrain right away, and the surrounding dwellings looked like they were inhabited by urban civilians, and they were built in any shape, and there was an inner city river passing by here, so there was no shortage of water sources, otherwise it would not be an option. one of the addresses.

It's just that she wasn't very satisfied with the surrounding environment. She lightly kicked the horse's belly to drive the little mare to walk slowly, and she looked at it inch by inch.

Xiao Tao had already jumped out of the carriage, and was waiting for orders at any time, but obviously she didn't know what Chang Xi wanted to see.

Xie Jin didn't step forward, but his eyes moved with Chang Xi's movement, and he only saw her in his eyes. He wanted to see how much different she still had.

Not long after, Chang Xi rode over, looked at Xie Jin and said, "This place is not suitable for building a workshop, and it is too close to those residents, which will cause a lot of trouble." After a while, "Go to the next place Look again."

Xie Jin nodded and didn't express any opinions, but he knew her concerns. This tea brick is currently a new gadget. Once the workshop is opened, there will definitely be many people who want to get a way to make tea bricks, so the nearby There is a high probability that residents will become the eyeliner of others, and the houses are densely built, which makes it easier to hide.

The two continued to set off. Another workshop to the south was located farther away, and it was estimated that it would be after noon when they arrived, but the two were not in a hurry.

Compared with Chang Xi's leisurely life, Mrs. Zhu was carried back this time, and was thrown down several times on the way, and now her whole body is covered with injuries, so she can only scream "Alas".

The person who carried her back asked her for money, but she refused to give it, and even sold it miserably, wanting to lose the money.

But are these people easy to provoke?Just send people to the gambling shop to find Xu Dalang and force him to ask for money, otherwise they will stay at Xu's house and not leave.

Xu Dalang, who was brought back like a chicken, was severely beaten by those people because he had no money on him, and then he begged his mother Zhu Shi unbearably, begging her to take out the money he pawned to sell Chang Shi. However, Mrs. Zhu still refused to take it, which also annoyed Xu Dalang.

He smiled flatteringly at the man holding him down, "That old godly woman doesn't cooperate, so I'll beat her right away and ask her to give the money to all the good guys."

Several people looked at each other, and then the man let go of Xu Dalang.

As soon as Xu Dalang was free, he rushed forward and punched and kicked Mrs. Zhu, making Mrs. Zhu even more injured. Finally, Mrs. Zhu couldn't bear it anymore, so she whispered to Xu Dalang where the money was hidden. .

Xu Dalang immediately rushed over to take out the silver. When he saw the more than 200 taels of silver, his eyes lit up immediately. He looked at the strong men outside. He took out a small part of the silver taels and put most of them back into the original place. Only then did he turn around and go out, but he thought in his heart that there was no shortage of gambling money now.

Who knew that the praying mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind, Zhao Da's wife, Mrs. Qu, had been hiding in Xu's house and peeping in the dark. Now she finally knew where Mrs. Zhu hid the money. She slipped in while Xu Dalang was out, He took out the loose bricks, and directly took out the 200 taels of silver hidden in the cracks of the bricks.

Developed, developed.

At this time, Ou's eyes were also bright. She looked out and bit her lower lip. Then Xu Dalang is a gambler. If she doesn't take the money away now, she will probably lose it when she comes back next time. Gone.

With a huge amount of money in front of her eyes, she didn't do anything, directly hid 200 taels of silver on her body, then carefully stuffed the bricks back, and walked out quietly with her waist down.

It's just that at the gate, Xu Dalang is still bargaining with the few strong men who brought Zhu Shi back, but with Xu Dalang's body, how can he be an opponent of others?

In addition to being robbed of all the loose silver in his hand, he also suffered a lot of flesh and blood, and finally sent these plague gods away.

Unwilling to be beaten, Xu Dalang got up and went back to beat Zhu to vent his anger.

Seeing this, the Ou family who was hiding in the dark couldn't help curling her lips. She is really a useless man, but this gave her a chance. She took the opportunity to slip out. Thinking of the huge sum of money in her arms, she immediately ran home.

Xu Dalang beat Mrs. Zhu to the point of distress, and couldn't help but said, "You son of a bitch, you just know how to beat my old lady for a fart? That Mrs. Chang even rides a horse now, you go to the gate of Jiefu and make trouble. If the family wants face, it will definitely give you money."

Xu Dalang stopped when he heard this, but when he thought of being thrown into the cesspit by the man who was released last time, he hesitated a bit.

Seeing her son stop, Mrs. Zhu urged her again, "Are you afraid of being fooled? After all, Mrs. Chang is still your wife. You went quietly last time, so she played tricks on you. This time, you are at the door. Nao, let's see how she will do something to you?"

Xu Dalang thinks about it, this is also a solution, anyway, he has lost all face, so he doesn't care about this face.

The mother and son had always been of the same mind when they did this kind of thing, so they put aside their previous suspicions and began to discuss how to get money from Xie's family.

It is said that after Ou came home with a huge sum of money, her husband Zhao Da happened to be at home. Seeing her husband looking at her displeasedly, she hurriedly raised her finger to signal him to keep silent, and then pointed to the room with her hand.

Zhao Da didn't know why, but he followed Ou Shi to the inner room.

Mrs. Ou poured out the money in her bosom, stared Zhao Da straight, and immediately closed the door of the inner room to prevent anyone from peeping, "Where did it come from?"

Seeing her husband asking, Mrs. Ou proudly told how she sent Mrs. Zhu back, how she hid it, and then accidentally found out where Mrs. Zhu hid the silver, and how she finally stole it. She told Zhao Da all about it.

"It's not in vain that I endured that Zhu family for a long time, and I finally got this large sum of money."

She has already started planning how to use the silver.

Zhao Da stretched out his hand to caress the lovely silver, but his eyes flashed brightly, "When Mrs. Zhu and Xu Dalang find out, they will definitely suspect you..."

"Then what should I do?" Mrs. Ou asked nervously, "Probably not, they didn't see me taking the money..."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Zhao Damu said fiercely, "In this way, you go out and reveal the place where the Xu family hides the silver. Back then, my mother's 100 taels of silver caused her death. Do you think the Xu family will be killed?" Will it also cause such a disaster?"

Especially now that Mrs. Zhu is seriously injured and Xu Dalang has no strength to restrain the chicken, it is a good time to do it.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ou felt that what her husband said made sense. As long as a thief visited the Xu family, the matter of missing money would not be related to her family. After all, she was still afraid of being a thief with a guilty conscience.

"I'm going right now."

After Zhao Da fooled the Ou family out, he looked at the 200 taels of silver and immediately rubbed his hands. The money now belongs to him alone.

The current Chang Xi doesn't know about the changes in the Xu family. She is currently inspecting the second location.

Compared with the first place, this place is spacious enough, but the water source is not very sufficient, and it is also a bit too remote, in short, she is not satisfied.

So we had to go to the site in the north to have a look.

Xie Jin had a good temper and followed her around. Anyway, riding a horse was much faster than a sedan chair, and he arrived at the site in the north before evening.

This is a small valley, but as Zhou Nan said before, there is a river entangled here, and no matter whether you go out or go in, there are small hills blocking it.

But here is not too far from Jiefu, and the horse race takes about half an hour, and there are several small villages around, so most of the tea brick workers can be recruited from these villages.

Chang Xi's eyes lit up when she saw this geographical location, but in order to better observe the terrain, she climbed a mountain here and stood on it to see it more clearly. The draft of this small river is not shallow, and the boat can completely Driving on this, and one of the entrances and exits of the small valley happens to be on the river.

"Does this river communicate with the sea at the port?"

Hearing Chang Xi asking himself, Zhou Nan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly responded, "This river is connected to the inner city river in the first place we just arrived, and if you drive in this direction, you can connect to Inner sea, transportation is very convenient.”

When Chang Xi heard this, his eyes lit up again and again. A small wharf can be built here. In this way, the transportation of tea bricks will be much more convenient from delivery to delivery.

"Very good, this is the place." She immediately nodded.

Xie Jin didn't interrupt Chang Xi's train of thought throughout the whole process. He thought he could be a bystander, but how did he know that Chang Xi actually sent him a mission?
Seeing Xie Jin looking at her unkindly, Chang Xi was not afraid of his Wanniang's face, "Xie Jiuye, you're here, anyway, I'm short of manpower, so it's not too much to borrow two from you, right?"

Xie Jin snorted softly, "Are you going to make an inch?"

Chang Xi chuckled twice, otherwise why would she take the opportunity to abduct him here?How could the few kittens around her be enough?Xie Ming was left behind by her to deal with the contract with Lin Yuqi, so now it's up to whoever is caught.

Xie Jin didn't expect that she could be such a rascal, "Has anyone ever said that you sometimes don't look like a woman at all?"

Chang Xi touched her nose, neither admitting nor denying, too many people in her previous life said behind her back that she was not like a woman, but so what?No one dared to say this in front of her.

"Jie Jiuye, don't be so petty, it's just a matter of a word."

Xie Jin laughed angrily at her bold look of borrowing chickens to lay eggs. This woman probably forgot that he was the owner of the chicken.

But in the end he still nodded his head.

As soon as Chang Xi got permission, he immediately arranged tasks for the accompanying personnel.

Because the tea brick workshop involved the shopkeepers of the four tea houses, she sent someone to notify them one by one, and asked those big shopkeepers to come and inspect the site immediately. This matter cannot be delayed.

After making arrangements, I checked the sky, I'm afraid it will be very late today before I can rush back to Jiefu.

"About two quarters of an hour's walk from here, there is a courtyard, and we will settle there tonight."

Hearing Xie Jin's words, Chang Xi was taken aback, did she really spend the night outside?
