The words "liar old monster" made Jie Chi very angry. He wanted to have a fight with Chu Qing, but Chu Qing's next sentence was: "Let's just fool the foreigners."

Jie Chi stopped talking.

As a spirit influenced by Han culture, I really cannot fool the leaders of the Han people.

In the words of Mrs. Jie Chi: "It has been more than 2000 years, but even if you only spend 20 years studying, you won't be exposed in just two sentences!"

When Jie Chi deceived King Voss, didn't he just use Han culture to transform it and then say a bunch of specious things?
"Then... no matter what you say, being able to deceive someone is your skill!" Jie Chi had a sarcastic look on his face, but he was still not ashamed of his words.

Xiaobao's voice came faintly from outside the door: "Mother, are you awake?"

Then Gan Lai answered: "I guess not, it's only a little longer? If he wakes up, he will call me, and I will go and have a look."

Chu Qing was about to shout, "I'm awake, let Xiaobao come in," but was stopped by Jie Chi: "Okay, I've told you everything I need to tell you, I have to go!"

Chu Qing felt strange: "Don't you know my son? Why don't you meet him?"

Jie Chi said: "What are you seeing? He can't see me at all. I'm in your dream!"

Chu Qing grabbed the foot towel and was about to slap him: "I can slap you, but you dare to say that I am dreaming!"

Jie Chi said, "Have you forgotten the last time you entered the dungeon?"

Chu Qing: "So this is also your copy?"

"That's right, it's temporary," Jie Chi said: "Anyway, if you want to wear it back early, then hurry up and ask Li Jin to sign the deed! I'll leave if you don't have anything to do!"

Chu Qing was anxious, stood up and stopped, stepped out of the foot basin with one foot and touched the ground, but did not feel the coldness of the ground: "Don't leave yet, I ask you, how can I find you after I sign the deed? Our mother How should you two put it back on?"

Chu Qing's hand passed through Jie Chi's arm, unable to catch him at all, but he moved a little fiercer. The wind brought by it caused the three candles to explode again, and the room suddenly lit up for a moment.

Jie Chi took two steps by himself, and half of his body had already entered the wall. He only left one sentence: "No need to look for me, I can just look for you. As for the way to go back, the method will appear when the time comes!"

After saying that, the person disappeared into the wall.

"Hey!" Chu Qing shouted, "The method will appear on its own", what does it mean to be clear? !
"Sister, are you awake?" Gan Lai entered the room and happened to see Chu Qing open her eyes.

Chu Qing looked at the room, but there was no Jie Chi, only Gan Lai came over. The candlelight was shaken by her, and the room was dimming.

Gan Lai put his hand into Chu Qing's footbath and tested the water temperature: "Fortunately, the water is quite warm."

Only then did Chu Qing realize that her feet were still soaking in the hot water and none of them had touched the ground. She was a little confused: Could it be that it was just a dream?

Is it even a dream for Xiaobao to come in and find him?
Gan Lai asked Chu Qing to wipe his feet, then he took a pair of scissors to cut the candle wick and said, "This thing is really not as bright as a kerosene lamp. It takes three candles to equal the light of one kerosene lamp."

Seeing the confusion in Chu Qing's eyes, Gan Lai said with a smile: "I let you take a nap, but Xiaobao and I had roasted corn, you missed it!"

Chu Qing still couldn't recover, so Gan Lai urged her to wipe her feet quickly: "Wash your feet quickly, put on your shoes and socks, Xiaobao is coming in to see you."

It was true.

Xiaobao came in with two half-loose paper rolls. It was obviously the golden eagle who had brought back the news.

"Two letters, one is about the horse thieves, and the other is about the Yong'an Mansion," Xiaobao asked, "Mother, which one should I listen to first?" Naturally, Chu Qing wanted to listen to the Yongan Mansion first, and she had to verify it. It's not what Jie Chi said just now.

Xiaobao read it over, and sure enough - "Foster mother, Li Jin refuses to sign a contract with me and insists on waiting for you to come back. Don't be anxious. If he is willing to wait, just wait and treat him like a hawk."

It sounds like Chu Xinghai's tone, what a little brat!
Then there is another sentence at the end of the letter: "Brother, if my adoptive mother has something to do, please tell my mother. My mother handles things more securely than my father, but my father is really a little out of touch."

As soon as Xiaobao read out this sentence, he was heard by Chu Yuan who entered the room, and he suddenly became angry: "I rebelled against him. I don't know who is the father and who is the son, right?"

However, Chu Yuan didn't dare to complain a second time, because Gan Lai's unkind look was an absolute suppression of Chu Yuan.

Xiaobao read the second letter again.

The second letter was about horse thieves.

Horse thieves do exist.

After Daxuan destroyed Donglun, there was a lot of chaos.

Donglun people fled before and after the war, not only the common people, but also the fleeing Donglun defeated soldiers. Chu Qing also suffered greatly back then.

48 good brothers died at the hands of the Donglun people, but that group of Donglun people were employed by several businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was quiet for a few years, but horse thieves have appeared again in recent years, especially at the end of last year. They came almost every three or five times.

"Those horse thieves were hired by the owner of this land," Xiaobao said, "The tenants learned the intercropping method from our Xingtang County to increase the harvest of this land;
In addition to collecting rent, the landlord also liked the money that they could use for other income, so he asked his thugs to dress up as horse thieves to rob, so that they could make more money without spending any money;

There was a disaster at the end of last year, and grain prices soared. Landowners sold most of the grain at high prices;

But he was afraid that the price would be higher during the spring famine, and he would not have enough grain left to sell, so he started to take advantage of the tenant farmers again.

The tenants still had coarse grains in their hands. If grain prices continued to rise during the spring famine, the coarse grains could be sold at the price of fine grains, so they robbed them again;
That time almost all the tenants' rations were taken away, and the landlord stopped;
But the landlord spared the tenants, but his thugs did not. The thugs also wanted to make some extra money, so they would come and loot from time to time behind the landlord's back.
I came here just over two months ago. At that time, the tenant farmers relied on wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. The thugs couldn't get any oil or water, so they beat people to vent their anger;

Finally, the tenants couldn't bear it anymore and started to fight against them. The thugs were also beaten severely. It is estimated that Da Binzi was seriously injured at that time. "

Xiaobao sighed when he said this: "Actually, it would be nice if the tenants were tough to the end and beat a few of them to death. But when the tenants saw Da Binzi knocked to the ground unconscious, they were frightened.
Er Binzi was also timid. When fighting, he would only hide and not take action, so the tenants had no backbone and did not dare to fight;

This attitude made the thugs become arrogant again, saying that they would come again when the corn was harvested, and then they would intensify their efforts and settle old and new accounts together. "

Chu Qing felt a little worried when he heard this: "Well, let's go back to Yong'an Mansion first, leaving half of us to stay here to help them."

There is a row of cornhouses outside. If the landlord sends thugs again, besides collecting rent and robbing them again, won’t the tenants be able to survive the winter?
Xiaobao said: "Listen to what I have to say. This is a fun thing to say. The landlords will not come, and the thugs will not come either. They are now eating bread in the county jail!"

Chu Qing: "How to say?"

Xiaobao: "Two months ago, didn't the King of Qin rent our cannon? When our family was delivering the cannon, we heard that there were horse thieves here. Because there were people from the King of Qin following us, we turned around and took a look, planning to let him go. Two cannons sent King Qin's men back to spread propaganda;

After a few rounds of shelling, the bandits were captured. After a first trial, they found out that it was the landlord who did it, and they were thrown into the county government office directly.

It is still locked up, waiting for the Ministry of Punishments to review the case files and make the final verdict;
Anyway, no one is taking care of this land at the moment. I have asked Jin Er to take a letter back, asking our family to keep an eye on the progress of the case and try to buy this land as well. It happens to be connected to the river. It will all belong to our family from now on! "
