The moon is bright, the wind is high, and the cold wind is blowing.
After dinner, Qi Yu walked slowly in the yard, digesting the pig head meat stuffed in his stomach, while looking at the concierge from the corner of his eyes from time to time.
According to my mother, I haven't seen Tong Yanhuo all day today. Where did he go?
Since arriving in the capital, Tong Yanhuo has always fulfilled his obligations and never left the Qijia courtyard easily. Why did he go out today without even saying hello?
This is not to blame him, but to be a little worried.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a figure flashing in front of me, and then there was a soft bang, as if something quietly fell to the ground. I looked along and saw someone suddenly appeared in the yard.
If you want Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.
"Brother Tong? Why didn't you go through the gate and just jumped over the wall?" Qi Yu asked curiously after recognizing the person clearly.
Tong Yanhuo smiled naively and said, "It was getting late, and I didn't want to disturb my family members who came to open the door, so I just turned over."
Oh, it's quite easy.
Qi Yu looked at the ten-foot-high courtyard wall and was puzzled. How could it be so easy for him to come here?
Then, Tong Yanhuo took the initiative to let Qi Yu into the concierge and lit the oil lamp.
Before Qi Yu could ask, Tong Yanhuo said: "Today, I took Huang Fei with me to secretly investigate the one hundred thousand taels of silver belonging to Zhang Chengdong's family. So far, some of it has been found."
Oh, so that’s where it’s going.
Qi Yu nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Tong Yanhuo suddenly sighed and said in annoyance: "Because I accidentally injured Zhang Yanei and sent you to prison, I feel really guilty. So, I want to take revenge on the Zhang family.
Let’s see if we can turn their stolen money into ours.”
Qi Yu thought for a while and asked, "How did Huang Fei get involved with this matter? Also, he is an internal guard and is unpredictable in his actions. How did you find him?"
Tong Yanhuo replied: "He said that he followed the emperor's secret order and stayed in Jingcheng to do some secret observation in order to report back to His Majesty. Last night, he avoided the crowd and came to visit the house to see if anything went wrong.
.I just took this opportunity to drag him into trouble."
"Drag him into trouble?" Qi Yu smiled and said, "He is a powerful internal guard, how could he follow your advice?"
Tong Yanhuo grinned and said: "This is easy to handle. If he doesn't listen, I will ask him to compete in martial arts until he obeys."
Is this...violent cooperation?
However, this approach is indeed very constructive.
Simple, direct, and not verbose at all.
After laughing, Qi Yu skipped the topic and asked, "Did you find out anything?"
Tong Yanhuo smiled and said: "Currently, Huang Fei is watching in secret. It is estimated that he will come to a conclusion in the next two days."
oh……
Huh?
Something is wrong!
Only Yao and his family knew about the one hundred thousand taels of silver, and he had not told Tong Yanhuo before, so how did he know?
Also, when did he, who has always been honest and honest, develop such foresight?
What's even more wrong is that things like coveting other people's money are very inconsistent with Tong Yanhuo's upright temperament.
Then, under Qi Yu's repeated questioning, Tong Yanhuo finally told the truth.
In fact, this was not his own idea, but a revenge plan offered by his daughter Xiaotong.
Oh, she turns out to be my daughter!
In the recent period, Xiaotong has been practicing martial arts with Tong Yanhuo every morning and evening. As the two become more familiar, their relationship has become more familial.
According to Liu Quan, Brother Tong loves this girl so much that he will leave any rare items for her. He never refuses the child's request and is almost infinitely satisfied.
It was probably because of this kind of doting that Tong Yanhuo followed the little ghost's suggestion and actually did it.
Haha, I really didn’t realize that Xiaotong actually has such a scheming mind?
The idea is a good idea, but the motive is not pure. How can you try to seize other people's money?
It seems that we need to educate her well in the future.
Qi Yu thought for a while and then said: "Brother Tong, this one hundred thousand taels of silver is indeed worthy of investigation, but our family cannot keep it for ourselves."
Tong Yanhuo wondered: "Why is this?"
Qi Yu said calmly: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. Only in this way can he prosper his family. This money came from an evil source, so it cannot be touched! If our family is really short of money, I will definitely think about it."
I will try my best to raise money, but I will never be tainted with similar ill-gotten gains."
Hearing this, Tong Yanhuo immediately stood in awe and said, "Your Majesty, you are right. I was confused."
…
It's almost midnight.
The bright moonlight shines in through the gaps in the window lattice, casting shadows in the bedroom.
The atmosphere in the room is very charming, with a bright moonlight in front of the bed and two pairs of shoes on the floor.
After studying "Nongfu Mountain Spring is a bit sweet", Qi Yu and his wife were still not satisfied. They hugged each other like glue and said those sweet words that they never got tired of hearing.
"Ms. sir, do you think I'm old?"
"Who said that? You have always been watery..."
"Bah, bah, bah! Don't say those nasty words!"
Qi Yu stopped playing and said softly: "Holding your hand and growing old together with me is a rare happiness in life. What's so terrible about it? If you have to draw a line for 'old age'
Come on, let’s use the children as a measure. When they grow up, we will be really old..."
"Um……"
After Liu Quan had enough of being silly, Qi Yu asked about the serious matter, which was also a major matter that he had always been concerned about.
That is, what happened to the house Zhou Chunsheng wanted to buy?
Has it been settled yet?
When this matter was mentioned, Liu Quan became more energetic and said: "Don't mention it, that Yao is still a sensible person..."
"Sensible? Why do you say that?"
"..."
Next, Liu Quan talked about the whole story.
She said that Zhou Chunsheng and his wife had visited no less than ten houses in the recent period, ranging from large to small.
As for Zhou Chunsheng, he followed Qi Yu's suggestion and let the woman be the master, because the hostess is the real housekeeper in the future.
In this way, Mr. Yao becomes the decision maker of the house purchase.
At the beginning, she specially selected those relatively spacious mansions, which not only required a grand appearance, but also a prosperous location. She once said to Zhou Chunsheng privately, after all, it was my cousin who provided the financial support, so why are there any shortages?
Unexpectedly, this happened to be heard by Liu Quan, and she became sulky because of it.
However, after experiencing the unexpected incident in Zhang Yanei, Mr. Yao changed his mind. His cousin was in jail for him, so how could he have the nerve to consume his family's money excessively?
Based on this idea and consideration, in the end, she only booked a small and relatively remote house, which cost less than 500 taels of silver.
Liu Quan praised Yao for being sensible, that's why.
You know, this saves your own money.
In Liu Quan's memory, none of his relatives, including his younger brother Liu Jincheng, ever borrowed money or repaid it. Even if they were willing to repay the money, they didn't know it would be the year of the monkey.
Therefore, when it comes to money, it is better to borrow as little as possible.
Qi Yu thought it was nothing. These were not outsiders. It didn't matter whether they paid more or less. The key was that they could help.
