Chapter 59

After thinking hard for a while, Chen Gui signaled Lin Yunyan to follow, and stopped at the position.

"This area," he pointed to Lin Yunyan one by one, "Look, the center is where the fire started, and it was completely burned.

The left and right families were also in bad luck, the houses collapsed, and there was nothing left.

We have just cleared this place in the past two days, and there are more than a dozen carts.

To say that the damage is the most serious, it must be here. "

Chen Gui wasn't talking nonsense, the three houses were in a mess, even the partition walls were burnt down, and after being cleared away, it looked extremely empty.

Lin Yunyan walked in directly.

The source of the fire is the highlight of the government's investigation.

At that time, Shuntian Mansion was reprimanded by Sheng Hao because of the fire in Laoshi Lane, Shan Fu Yin almost failed to keep his official hat, so the house that caught fire was regarded as a thorn in his side, and was almost investigated.

Chen Gui also followed in, with his back arched and his waist bent, shining the dim lantern light on the ground and shining it back and forth.

The more you look at it, the more you feel that the location of the west wing of the house on the left is not quite right.

Of course, there are no wing rooms at this moment, but the half-broken floor tiles on the ground look very weak.

Chen Gui muttered: I need to fix it!

It’s not just about removing old bricks and laying new ones, but digging them out, re-tamping the soil underneath, and paving after it’s tight…

Muttering, muttering, Chen Gui slapped his head, hey, he was taken away by the princess!

Lin Yunyan also came over, and seeing that Chen Gui was paying attention to that place, she said, "Tomorrow, tell Gao An to find two trustworthy people with a tight mouth to dig this place, and the house that caught fire..."

The yamen checked and checked, but they didn't dig the ground, maybe there was still darkness under the lamp.

"What will be dug up?" Chen Gui swallowed, "Don't be..."

He didn't go on.

Wan Yue is timid, what he wants to say about bones and dead people really scares the little girl to death.

"Baby, something valuable," Lin Yunyan said, "Didn't I tell you before I came here?"

Chen Gui smiled stupidly.

The princess did say it, but it just didn't sound like the truth.

"What happens after it's dug out?" Chen Gui asked.

"Jingdong's family is not in Beijing, so you can go to Taohezhai and leave him the share of Fu Guogong according to the agreed share, and you move our share back to the mansion," Lin Yunyan said. Be careful, don't attract people's attention."

Chen Gui responded.

The three walked out slowly.

"Afterwards, repairs will be carried out step by step, and by the time it is time to lend it to the Yamen, Jingdong's family has already returned to Beijing," Lin Yunyan said, "How can it be possible to earn less money with the Duke of the State guiding the Jingdong family behind the scenes?"

Wan Yue asked strangely: "Isn't the Duke of the country throwing away the shopkeeper?"

Chen Guidao: "I heard from Jing Dong's family that day that in fact, the Duke of the State coincides with us."

Lin Yunyan was not surprised at all.

Now that she has seen other people's ways of making money, she will, and Xu Jian will definitely do such a simple thing as drawing a gourd.

"Maybe he also had a dream, knowing how to get rich." Lin Yunyan smiled lightly.

After hearing this, Chen Gui was also a little amused: "Then can he dream of the treasure to be dug up?"

"It should be possible," Lin Yunyan said, "otherwise, why should I share it with him instead of taking it all by myself?"

Wan Yue was stunned when he heard that.

The little girl thought directly, and subconsciously said: "Then you came to look for it yourself, because you are afraid that the Duke will dig it out and swallow it for yourself?"

Lin Yunyan was so happy that she rolled her eyes and laughed for a while: "Yeah, he has a thicker skin than me, and he really wants to take it all by himself. I can't beat or scold him, and the treasure is gone."

Wan Yue blinked.

Seeing Chen Gui holding back her smile, she came to her senses: "The princess is talking about teasing the slaves. If the Duke is so stingy, he will let us take a share of the pie. He will do the business in Honest Alley, and he will hide the treasure."

Sending Lin Yunyan back to the Chengyi Mansion, Chen Gui saw that dawn was not far away, so he went directly to Gao An.

Since Gao An had to supervise the operation of Honest Lane every day, Gao An didn't go back to Tong County, and rented a house not far away.

The sky will be bright, and the small stalls at the street will continue to operate.

Gao An's breakfast was mostly settled in this area. He stretched out and saw Chen Gui sitting on the stall at a glance.

Chen Gui asked for a bowl of noodles and took two more cakes, eating them deliciously.

Gao An sat down, ordered food, and shared a table with Chen Gui.

The two of them didn't speak, they just acted as if they didn't know each other, they left the table one after another after eating, and finally found a hidden corner to talk.

Chen Gui repeated Lin Yunyan's request.

Seeing that the second monk Gao Anzhang was like a monk, Chen Gui also sighed: "I don't know what kind of treasure it is. The princess told me so, so we will do it."

Gao An responded.

Chen Gui just went home and lay down on the couch to catch up on sleep.

She slept until noon before being punched by her son a few times.

"Uncle Liao is here."

Chen Gui came out in a hurry, fetching water to wash his face while listening to Liao Zi.

"Gao Dong's family asked me to come," Liao Zidao said, "I dug it all up, but there's nothing left."

Chen Gui couldn't hold his hand firmly, the well rope became loose, and the bucket slipped into the water again, making a thud.

With a jolt, Chen Gui woke up most of his sleepiness.

"Nothing?" Chen Gui's eyes widened.

The princess made a mistake?
But obviously the princess seems to be sure of everything.

No, what the princess said was "the baby in the dream", how can you believe in the dream!
Alas, that doesn't seem right.

It should be that the princess got some news from somewhere, but the source and details are hard to tell, so she used "dream" as an excuse.

Chen Gui has been in business for many years, and he has encountered situations where his background needs to be kept secret.

Now that Gao An hasn't dug it out, maybe the princess's news is wrong?

Liao Zi said again: "By the way, Dong Gao's family has another sentence for you to pass on to you. There are always people wandering outside the alley recently. He didn't think about it at first, but he just thought about it today after digging. Don’t those people also come here for something?”

Chen Gui immediately rushed to Chengyibo's residence.

After sitting in the flower hall for a while, Lin Yunyan came with Wan Yue.

Chen Guidao: "Nothing was dug out."

After listening, Lin Yunyan frowned.

Nothing was dug up, did someone get there first?

She didn't doubt Xu Jian.

Those few words yesterday were meant to tease Wan Yue, so Xu Jian wouldn't have quietly taken away the gold bricks without telling her any news.

No one would take advantage of the life-and-death friendship in the past.

If this little bit of trust is gone, this Honest Lane business can't be done together.

"These days..." Chen Gui said the second news.

Lin Yunyan raised her eyebrows.

A thought slowly emerged in my mind.

Could it be that both she and Xu Jian thought wrong before?

It wasn't that the two businessmen accidentally discovered that there were gold bricks hidden under a certain house when they were repairing Honesty Lane, but they knew this from the very beginning, so they started the business in Honesty Lane.

Therefore, she judged the seat based on "businessman seeking profit" and having to repair it, so she naturally missed it.

"You'd better go to Taohezhai, tell the shopkeeper Gao An's discovery, and then ask him to bring a message to the Duke, just say..." Lin Yunyan smiled brightly, "I want to dig up all the foundations of Honest Lane for renovation. once."

　Thanks to the book friends Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend and Bu Shaochun for their rewards.
