The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 43 Building a House
Only then did Zhixue realize how trivial it was that he said something about martial arts.He and the mountain chief both knew what kind of talent this was at this time.

The mountain chief showed some appreciation for talents, "I can't teach you directly. My senior brother has been on the battlefield, he can teach you. Don't leave."

Zheng Wu'an paid homage to Shanzhang and Zhixue.

Arrangements were made for the two children to go to school. Zheng Qiuyun drove the carriage back alone. Without the interruption of the two children, she wanted to go somewhere else.

The sun sets in the west, and the sunset glows in the sky.Tired birds are returning to the forest, traffic is passing through the streets, and smoke from cooking pots is already curling up in the distance.

Unknowingly, Zheng Qiuyun drove to the border with the next county.She was a little curious and drove her horse forward between the two mountains.

This county is very different from Linjiang County. The terrain here is low-lying, mostly rivers, and the crops grown are often drowned.

The people on the road looked haggard, with no life in their eyes.When they saw Zheng Qiuyun, some people's eyes actually lit up.

Zheng Qiuyun didn't dare to stay long, so when they looked back at her, she galloped back again.

The journey here was smooth, but upon returning to the city gate, security was tightened, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were checking the registered population in turn.All suspicious characters, no matter how they explain themselves, will be pressured away by officials.

Zheng Qiuyun suddenly remembered that this was when Zheng Wuan and Zheng Wenping couldn't bear the torture and wanted to escape.Because the city gate was heavily guarded, they could only go back and continue to be humiliated.

Thinking about it, the lives of these two children should be much better than before.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city stopped Zheng Qiuyun's carriage and said, "Stop!"

Zheng Qiuyun got off the carriage and explained to him that she was from Linjiang County. The security was not tight when she came, so she could pass.She was suddenly on guard when she returned, and she was unprepared.

The person who stopped her looked fierce and difficult to deal with. "Have you ever done anything wrong?"

At this time, people were strictly prohibited from moving around. If they wanted to leave the county, they needed to "pass through."

Zheng Qiuyun said bluntly: "No."

He added: "Then how do you prove that you are from Linjiang County?"

Zheng Qiuyun was still good-tempered: "The county government has a household registration, which can be used as proof."

"I don't have time to check the county government's household registration."

He saw that Zheng Qiuyun's carriage was good, and he thought that she was just a prostitute, dressed simply.He opened the curtain of the carriage, said casually to check, got on the carriage and got straight in.

Zheng Qiuyun felt sick.

After a while, he got out of the car with the jujube cake that Zheng Wenping bought for Zheng Qiuyun, and said with a smile: "Who knows if you are a woman with evil intentions? I have to check this jujube cake."

After saying that, he laughed and ate jujube cakes with several other officials.

Zheng Qiuyun suppressed his anger and raised his voice and said, "The county government has a household registration. You can find out after checking."

There was a smaller man in the group of officials. He raised his voice and imitated Zheng Qiuyun's speech, which made several others burst into laughter.

Zheng Qiuyun knew at this time that these officials didn't care whether she had a household registration or not, they were just trying to make things difficult for her.

At this time, she was just being fed jujube cake by the official, and she felt furious. She didn't know how desperate the two children must have been when they mustered up the courage to escape, and then met these people again.

A group of bully dogs are just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.

Zheng Qiuyun asked: "When the official inspected the carriage, didn't he see anything in the box?"

The ferocious official wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth, his eyes lit up, "Box? Are there any other good things?"

He continued to get in without hesitation, and held out a box happily. As soon as he opened it, the short official who imitated Zheng Qiuyun was dumbfounded.He trembled and said, "Brother, let me see if that is an imperial edict?"

"really?"

The ferocious officer took out the imperial edict while suspicious, and then revealed the jade pendant underneath.

The short official opened his eyes wide again, "Brother, is this something from Duke Anguo's mansion?"

He tightened his collar and felt a chill, "May I ask you, girl, if you know Prince Pei from the Duke's Mansion?"

Zheng Qiuyun asked instead, "I dare to ask you, sir, but I did something illegal, otherwise why would you deliberately make things difficult for me?"

The word "official" sounds very ironic.

"Misunderstanding," the short official touched the other official's hand with his elbow and whispered: "I have a relative at the inn. He told me that if the city gate is on heightened alert and he sees the girl holding this jade pendant, he must contact him. It’s convenient for her.”

When the ferocious official just heard these words, his face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, "Girl, I am so blind that I cannot see gold or jade."

"My lord, you don't remember the faults of villains, please forgive me."

Zheng Qiuyun said directly, "You have soiled this carriage, and I don't want it anymore. You have to compensate me for a new carriage, and you also ate the jujube cake."

"If you make it difficult for the people to cross the city gate, according to the law, you will be whipped twenty times. If you don't want to pay, let's go see the officials."

Anyway, she was familiar with it the first time and knew it well the second time. She already knew how to report to the official.The county magistrate enforces the law impartially and does not show favoritism.

"I'll pay, I'll pay." He took out the money, but Zheng Qiuyun didn't want to take it.

"Go to the carpenter's place to get a carriage and ask him to deliver it to Zheng Qiuyun's house in Zhutian Village. The same goes for the pastries. Don't touch them. I find them dirty."

The officer's expression was extremely grim, but he didn't dare to say anything. It was because he was deliberately making things difficult, but he didn't expect that he would hit the iron plate.

Zheng Qiuyun immediately asked someone to dismantle the carriage, got on the horse herself, and asked him from a high position: "What else does the official want to check? Why don't I send you the photo stickers after I get home, or ask Li Zheng to follow Can you explain?"

They waved their hands quickly, "No, no, no, the girl was joking."

This incident reminded Zheng Qiuyun that the plot with the eldest prince had not changed yet.After she returned, she hurriedly found Craftsman Li and asked him to build a tomb in the back mountain.

The mountains are undulating, but they are not deep mountains and old forests where wild animals roam. When war breaks out, women and children can go in and take shelter.She just told Craftsman Li that she was preparing her funeral arrangements in advance, and also asked Craftsman Li to keep it secret.

Craftsman Li was shocked and couldn't understand this, but he expressed respect and swore that he would remain silent and bring the craftsman here blindfolded.

In order to deceive others, Zheng Qiuyun renovated his original three thatched houses.

This time the drawing is a little more complicated. On the surface it looks like a regular courtyard, but it has great potential.

When it rains in summer, the rainwater flows down the eaves, and there are naturally drainage channels underneath to drain the rainwater outside.Opening the windows wide allows for better ventilation and lighting.The courtyard wall is high to prevent anyone from climbing over the wall.

The interior of this house is close to a modern house, and everything is focused on comfort.If there is no floor heating, then install a fire wall; if there is no air conditioning, then dig an ice cellar.If it rains and the ground becomes muddy, buy blue bricks to pave the ground.

Craftsman Li sometimes secretly told his mother that if Zheng Qiuyun's house was built, he would no longer have to worry about food and drink, and many people would ask him to build houses.

His mother didn't believe it, but actively persuaded him to apologize to his master again.Whenever my mother mentioned this, Craftsman Li would cover his butt and run away.
