Chapter 53 Haven’t found it yet
Is there a treasure in that house? ? ?

Shen Xiaoyu thought he heard wrongly. Zhang Xi's voice was very soft and could only be heard clearly by Gu Dafu and Shen Xiaoyu who were just beside him.

Gu Dafu's eyes widened instantly. He thought he had heard wrongly and looked at Shen Xiaoyu.

Shen Xiaoyu knelt down and pointed at his nose and warned: "Don't talk nonsense to me. I'm not as easy to fool as a three-year-old!"

"I'm telling the truth! Young lady of the Shen family! I'm telling the truth!" Zhang Xi held her hand with a very sincere look.

Shen Xiaoyu shook off his hand and said, "Since there is a treasure, why do you have to wait until we move in before you come to scare us? I heard from the village chief that the house has been vacant for a long time!"

If it were her, she would dig through the house inside and out to find the so-called treasure. Are she still waiting for others to move in?
Zhang Xi explained: "That house doesn't belong to us, it belongs to the public!"

He glanced at Gu Dafu.

Gu Dafu said: "No wonder every time I arrange for people to stay there, they are scared away. You are really, really nonsense! Who told you that there is a treasure?"

Zhang Xi stopped talking, looked at Gu Xiangdie who was about to faint from being hit with a stick not far away, and told the whole story.

The old owner of the house knew Gu Xiangdie, and he once told her when he was drunk that he had hidden a treasure at home.

Because the owner of that house had done business in the capital before, was well fed and clothed, and had a good character, Gu Xiangdie believed him.

Later, the man died for some unknown reason, and Gu Xiangdie became greedy and wanted to possess the treasure.

But since the house lost its owner and there were no other family members to inherit it, it was naturally taken over by the government.

Later, there was a famine in Yazhou, and the imperial court ordered the four major counties to cooperate in disaster relief. Each town and village took in the victims, which could not only promote the reclamation of wasteland but also increase the imperial court's tax revenue.

Naturally, Gujiacun had to cooperate with the imperial court's policy to resettle the victims.

Seeing that the house was already occupied before the treasure was found, Gu Xiangdie and her son had no choice but to find ways to spread rumors and pretend to be ghosts to scare away the residents.Then, when no one is around, continue to dig for the so-called treasure in that house.

But it hasn't been found yet.

Shen Xiaoyu also felt strange when he went to see the house on the first day. Gu Dafu said that it had been idle for a while, but there was a lot of new firewood in the woodshed, and some areas were quite clean, leaving many traces of recent activities.

It turns out that this is the reason why the mother and son often come in and out secretly.

They dug a piece of ground in the woodshed, hoping to find treasure, but they were too lazy to fill in the space, so they put some firewood to cover it.

"Village chief, Miss Shen, I have told you all the secrets. Please let us mother and son go!" Zhang Xi didn't look like he was lying.

But Shen Xiaoyu didn't quite believe him and had reservations about the treasure.

She mainly doesn't want to be bullied anymore. As long as she achieves the purpose of warning, she can turn over for the time being.

Moreover, she had a letter of repentance in her hand, and it was well documented. If something happened next time, she would not be able to spare them, and they deserved to be beaten to death.

"Village chief, what do you think?" Shen Xiaoyu left the decision-making power to Gu Dafu, his eyes seeming to say, just watch.

"That's it." Gu Dafu turned around and saw that Gu Xiangdie had already fainted after being hit with twenty sticks. He said to Zhang Xi, "If Mrs. Shen doesn't pursue the case anymore, I will spare you these two sticks, but the punishment will be You still have to pay ten taels of silver, so go back and collect it before handing it over."

"Thank you, village chief! Thank you, Madam Shen! I will definitely collect it slowly and hand it over." Zhang Xi thought about it before saying anything else.

 Thanks to "Huixin's Happy Life" for the recommendation vote! ! !love you! !
