Yan Cigui.

Chapter 58

Chen Gui came at the right time.

In the morning of the next day, before Lin Yunyan asked Madam Wu to inform him, Chen Gui sent a post to Chengyiboli himself.

The nanny led him to Zaishouyuan, where Chen Gui respectfully bowed to everyone.

"Some fish and crabs were sent from the village in the suburbs. I just picked them up early in the morning. I brought them to the mansion to give the old lady a taste," he said with a smile. "They are still alive and kicking in the barrel."

Mrs. Xiao Duan was very happy, and said to Mrs. Chen: "The sweet-scented osmanthus wine that came out of the cellar yesterday, you ask someone to prepare two jars for Chen Gui to take back."

Chen Gui hurriedly thanked him.

After being polite, Chen Gui introduced the situation in Honest Lane.

"It was really a mess when we first entered. The yamen started to clean up once before, and the residents who escaped also searched for things one after another, but it must be different from our cleaning method that needs to be rebuilt.

As of yesterday, it finally cleared up. Gao An bought some good wine and food, and shared points with everyone during the festival.

After finishing these two days, I can start the follow-up process.

It just so happens that the weather is cooler, so you can do things more quickly. When the road is built until the end of the year, you can live in the next spring, and it's just right to hand it over to the yamen. "

Xiao Duan was very satisfied.

After Chen Gui finished his report, he left the mansion.

Carrying the two jars of good wine that his mother had given him, he heard hurried footsteps behind him before he walked out of the gate.

Chen Gui turned his head and saw that it was Lin Yunyan who caught up.

"Tonight, follow me to Honest Lane." Lin Yunyan said.

Chen Gui was surprised: "What did you go there for? Although it's not that messy, it's not such a clean place either."

"I had a dream," Lin Yunyan said nonsense, "There are valuable things buried in the house, and I have to dig them out."

Chen Gui looked at her with a bitter face.

Does the princess think he is easy to deceive?
When you dream, you know where there is a baby. Why hasn't he, Chen Gui, dreamed of it?
Believe it or not, when the third watch was approaching, Chen Gui waited obediently outside the corner gate of Bofu.

When Lin Yunyan arrived, he pointed to the sedan chair not far away: "Please."

The moonlight of the sixteenth night was bright and clear, but tonight the clouds were dense, not to mention the full moon, not even a few stars.

In the middle of the night, the Honest Lane was eerily quiet, and Wan Yue shivered as soon as she walked in.

Chen Gui lit the lantern, but the cover was so thick that only a little light could come through.

He took one to Wan Yue, and carried another one himself: "Although no one will come at this hour, we still have to be cautious, in case something happens, it will be difficult."

Wanyue held the lantern in one hand and supported Lin Yunyan in the other. It was only by being next to her own girl that she gave her a little courage.

Hearing what Chen Gui said, she couldn't help asking: "What will happen? Don't scare the servants, Chen Dong's family, the servants are very timid..."

Chen Gui couldn't laugh or cry.

Where does he mean to be scary.

"The ones who beat the watch and pour the fragrance of the night," Chen Gui explained, "There are no people here now, and they don't go here, but if the lanterns are too bright, others will see them at the alley."

Having said that, Wan Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, this place was bought by Jing Dong's family and Gao An, so it's not good to be found out."

Lin Yunyan patted Wan Yue's hand lightly: "You really need to practice your courage."

Wan Yue felt very sorry.

"Let's go in." Lin Yunyan said.

Chen Gui lifted the lantern very low, just to shine on the ground in front of Lin Yunyan: "It's not easy to walk, you must be careful where you step."

Lin Yunyan watched as she walked.

Things are really bad here.

The fire was very fierce that day, and the entire alley was destroyed, and the alleys on the side were also implicated.

The bungalows collapsed, collapsed, and half collapsed, and the dangerous parts were cleaned up by the government later, leaving half of the house here.

Seeing Lin Yunyan walking, Chen Gui looked around the house, and said, "Look, it's much more tidy now. There used to be piles of broken stones and wood, but now they've all been moved away..."

Lin Yunyan walked half of the alley, stopped and asked: "I remember it was agreed before that the houses with only charred wooden frames will be demolished, right?"

"It's all demolished," Chen Gui pointed to Lin Yunyan, "it's said to be repaired, but it's actually a new building. This house and the house in front still have frameworks, but now they've all been demolished.

You know, at the time we were thinking that we were short of money, and the few houses in the alley that were far away from the fire and with little damage were mainly renovated, and the unusable ones were demolished.

Later, the Duke of the State took the big head, and we only took the small head, and we were well-off all at once.

I discussed with Jingdong's family, or make all of them again, so that they look neat, clean and decent. "

Lin Yunyan looked at the empty "house" where even the walls connected to each other had been knocked out, and asked again: "Will the foundation be moved?"

In the finalized charter, there is no plan to move the foundation.

"The Jingdong family didn't mention it before returning to Jiangnan," Chen Gui thought for a while, and said, "But after sorting out, it was found that some foundations were not good enough, so they must be strengthened."

Lin Yunyan nodded after listening.

She only knew that gold bricks had been dug out in this alley, but she didn't know which house it was from.

At that time, when Xu Jian was looking for other things, he accidentally found this one, and only then did he know what happened to Chen Gui before his death.

But it's just a few clues.

The location cannot be determined, the gold brick cannot be found, and it is impossible to prove that Chen Gui's death was murdered by the gold brick.

But now, Lin Yunyan wants to make a general judgment here.

A businessman seeks profit, and Chen Gui is like this when Jing Da is saturated, so it was also the case with the two bosses who did this business with Chen Gui in the past.

It was just a fire, not an earthquake, and the overall foundation of the alley was in good condition.

Generally speaking, unless you want to build a tall building, you will not touch the foundation. In the past, this place was all bungalows in the end.

"If you decide to reinforce it, will you dig up the existing foundation?" Lin Yunyan asked.

Chen Gui scratched his head.

The princess came to Honest Lane in the middle of the night just to study the foundation?

He couldn't figure it out, but he answered seriously: "It depends on the situation. Generally speaking, there is no need to dig. This alley itself is based on broken bricks and clay, and the foundation is very solid. It is a small job to reinforce it, so it is not necessary to dig it up." Refill the soil and tamp it down."

"So," Lin Yunyan pointed to the dark alley, and finally asked, "If there is any house whose foundation is so bad that you can't stand it, repair it, and have to dig it up and rebuild it, which one will it be? ?”

"Ah?" Chen Gui was dumbfounded.

What is the problem?
He really couldn't keep up with the Princess' thoughts.

Subconsciously, he looked at Wan Yue, wondering what the princess's question meant.

But Wan Yue said: "The Chen family sees what the servants are doing? Quickly think about where you want to dig!"

Chen Gui: ...

This is really want to dig!
