Only then did Huang Qi understand the reason, but he was not sure it was completely accurate because it was all information gathered from rumors.
That noble family's business is quite big, and half of the rice shops in southwest Guizhou are owned by their family.
And they always raise the price of rice when there is a food shortage, making a lot of money, but all they eat are steamed buns with human blood.
This time they invited Mr. Tianyuan to go and promised to give 300 shi of grain to the hungry people. Originally, the agreement was just to give him a name.
Mr. Tianyuan went there because of the grain. As a result, the family suddenly changed their mind and not only wanted Mr. Tianyuan to approve the fortune, but also wanted the prosperity of their descendants.
Huang Qi paused, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said helplessly: "Mr. Tianyuan naturally refuses. If he refuses, of course he can't leave. The noble family has been trying hard to get rid of it. If it doesn't work out, he won't let him go." People leave.”
"But they don't dare to hurt Mr. Tianyuan. Mr. Tianyuan has also helped many kind-hearted businessmen, and he has high popularity. If he touches him, it will arouse public anger."
After hearing these words, my eyes narrowed.
He Zhi next to him even yelled angrily: "These people are really greedy."
But I thought about how similar the experiences of Jiang Pan and us were when we ordered a house for the Ding family.
It was forces that we could not resist that took us away...
However, Jiang Pan could directly disagree, and even the rice merchant did not dare to hurt him, so he could only be placed under house arrest.
This is because he accumulates virtue and does good deeds in daily life and has so many good karma that the rice merchant does not dare to do so.
If I had Jiang Pan's ability back then, what would I have done to the Ding family?
My thoughts calmed down quickly. I pondered for a moment, then turned to look at He Fei and whispered: "Although they dare not hurt Jiang Pan, they can't let him be held captive like this."
He Zhi immediately nodded and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to bring people out."
In fact, the Ding family's biggest threat to us at that time was their guns. The Ding family cooperated with the warlords, and the business they did was harmful to nature and harmed people's lives.
This rice merchant cannot be so arrogant.
After all, it is the provincial capital of southwestern Guizhou, so it is impossible that it does not have some royal laws.
Huang Qi next to him looked slightly startled, with uneasiness in his eyes, but he did not interrupt us.
He Pheasant and I went into the main room to discuss it.
Because we have never done this kind of thing, we can only try it.
She was good at it, so sneaking into the rice merchant's house was not a problem. She went into the house to find Jiang Pan, while I went directly to the front of the rice merchant's mansion openly and caused some trouble to attract the attention of their family.
If she finds Jiang Pan, she will give me a signal. If not, we have to take this opportunity to enter the rice merchant's house and ask them to release him.
This simple plan cannot withstand more scrutiny.
As for Jiang Pan, we have never seen him before. The only criterion is that he must be wearing a Tang suit, and Jiang Pan will be similar to my master Jiang Yihong.
I went back to the room and packed my things lightly.
I didn't take the big black wooden box with me. I put the chicken in the room and wouldn't let it out.
All I carry with me are the inheritance items from the earth and the earth, and a long wooden box with a golden abacus hung diagonally on it.
He Zhi also made full preparations, and then I motioned to Huang Qi to take us to the rice merchant's house.
While on the road, Huang Qi told me a lot of trivial news. I learned that the rice merchant's family name was Zhong, and the head of the family was called Zhong Zhong.
Although Huang Qi knew the street where he lived, he didn't know the way, so he still asked some people along the way.
It took about two-quarters of an hour before we arrived outside his house.
This is an antique house with a wide open front door, but there is a stone beast standing at the door.
The body of this beast is like a tiger and leopard, its tail is spread out like a dragon's tail, its shoulders seem to be covered with a pair of stone wings, and there is a horn on the top of its head that is tilted back.
The surface of this stone beast is plated with a layer of copper, glowing with a dull copper light.
Above the stone beast is a door plaque with the words "Zhongzhai" written on it.
He Fei told me in a low voice that she found a place to hide and wait for an opportunity to enter the house.
After saying this, she quickly moved forward along the wall and soon disappeared from my sight.
Huang Qi was slightly panicked, so I asked him to leave in a deep voice, and returned to the yard. Don't go anywhere, just look at the good things.
Huang Qi nodded, whispered to me to be careful, and then turned and left.
In the blink of an eye, I was the only one left in front of the Zhongzhai.
My eyes stayed more on the stone beast in front of the door.
I once saw a stone lion placed in front of a house. When I was studying the House Sutra, I also learned about all the auspicious or ominous beasts.
Whether they are bureaucrats or businessmen, they all like to place stone lions at the door. It is often said that if you touch the lion's head, everything will be fine. Stone lions are also evil beasts that can ward off evil spirits and block the invasion of foreign objects, and can often protect the owner.
As for the Zhong family, the one placed there is not a stone lion, but another auspicious beast named Pixiu.
Stone lions are often paired with a male and a female to show the harmony of yin and yang, while Pixiu is a single lion.
The corner of the firstborn is Tianlu, which attracts wealth and treasure, and it can only go in but not out! The first born with two horns can ward off evil spirits.
The Zhong family is really making money, even the stone beast at the gate is the Tianlu beast among Pixiu...
I thought about it for a moment, the Zhong family are not good people, they will have some small problems in keeping money, and they will definitely not be able to keep the family property in the future.
When a child is born, they have to ask Jiang Pan to approve the divination, and they also want to be prosperous and wealthy.
I'm afraid the clues of losing money have already appeared!
While I was thinking, I happened to glance under the door of the house, only to find that the masonry under the door frame was slightly damaged.
On the steps further forward, there are still traces of water seeping out!
My pupils tightened and my mind became even more certain.
Water leakage and broken walls in your home are all signs of losing money! My thoughts have been confirmed a lot.
After regaining my composure, I walked forward directly, clenched my fists and banged the door of Zhongzhai with all my strength!
Amidst the muffled sound of thumping, noisy footsteps soon came from behind the door.
After a while, the door of the house was opened slightly, and half of a servant's body poked out. He frowned, looked at me doubtfully, and asked me who I was and why I came to knock on the door of Zhong's house.
I squinted my eyes slightly and looked at the bridge of this servant's nose. There was actually some damage at the tip of his nose.
I just glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "I, Li Yinyang, am a wandering traveler. When I walked past your house, I saw that your homestead was damaged and the ground was rolling. I am afraid that your family will get into trouble."
"If we don't solve it as soon as possible, we will definitely lose all our belongings! If a small thing happens in the family, the children and grandchildren will be displaced, and the female family members will fall into the dust, then it will be a big problem!" My tone was sonorous, and my words were particularly clear.
The servant's face suddenly turned the color of pig's liver. He stared at me with wide eyes and cursed: "You're such a bastard, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! I think you're looking for a beating!"
