Chapter 051 Homecoming
Zhong Jiuchou smiled meaningfully.
Anyone who dared to call me "Master" in front of the Young Master of Shura Palace has been buried in the earth. Only the little devil in front of him dared to be so arrogant after knowing his identity.
Although Ran Shaotang spoke hard, he knew very well in his heart that the carriage collision was not that simple.
Zhong Jiuchou's tone sounded like there was something in his words. Since he had a special status and had sent out people from the Shura Palace to find him, maybe he had found something.
Thinking of this, she tentatively asked: "Qianmen Town is sparsely populated and there are few cars. It is rare to see two carriages traveling together when wandering around the town. Do you know who drove the carriage that collided with the sect's carriage?
"
"Ordinary people." He replied lightly.
That day, he was sent by Feng Rang to investigate the Poison Immortal Sect. As soon as something happened to Ran Shaotang and the other three, Jiuchou finally arrived.
But it was still a step too late. When he arrived at the scene of the incident, Shaotang had disappeared.
There were only broken carriages lying scattered in the market, and there were two masters and apprentices, Cheng Yi, who had fainted.
Fortunately, he got the person back today.
Zhong Jiuchou stared at the injury on Shaotang's head and the obvious bruises on his neck from being pinched, and did not discuss with her what happened after the collision.
With her character, if she wanted to tell her what she had been through these past few days, he wouldn't be able to stop her.
If she didn't want to say it, it would be in vain for him to force her.
In short, it's good that people are fine.
Some accounts will be settled after autumn.
He thought of the way Zong Zhengshen yelled at Shaotang, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason.
The third prince, who has always been elegant and calm, lost his grace in front of a child. Why?
The horses and horses galloped as fast as flying, and nearly a hundred horse hooves trampled the dust on the official road. Wherever they passed, dust and smoke billowed.
Ran Shaotang still wanted to ask about the situation that day, but Jiuchou finally had to tell her: "You should worry about how to deal with the aftermath after returning to Jingshan, right?"
Two days later, Ran Shaotang yawned and paid off the last payment, and Jiuchou's so-called aftermath work finally came to an end.
During the days when she disappeared, only the Yaowang Sect in Jingshan originally knew the news.
While everyone was looking for Shaotang, all the construction projects of the Yaowang Sect were going on as usual, which meant that all expenses were not reduced.
On the first day, the villagers came to Xie Yingren to ask for wages, but Ji Gang came forward and found a reason to block him. The villagers knew well that a monk could escape but could not escape the temple, so they did not take it seriously.
The next day, Ji Gang blocked Xie Yingren again on the grounds that he broke his head and could not use his brain to pay for work. The villagers were a little moody, but they still kindly conveyed their greetings to Xie Yingren through Ji Gang.
On the third day, the villagers didn't wait for Ji Gang to make up lies to prevaricate them, and they prepared their response in advance: "He Xie Shisan has a bad brain, but you don't have a bad brain. As long as the money is still there, it doesn't matter who pays the salary."
Ji Gang wanted to say that his brain was also broken.
Otherwise, why would you take on such an errand?
The crux of the problem is that there is no money.
In the past, Xie Yingren and Ran Shaotang exchanged money and paid wages. Now that Ran Shaotang has disappeared, the source of the money has also been cut off.
On the fourth day, some talkative Yaowang Sect disciple revealed the matter. The villagers thought that the money-distributing boy was missing. Their efforts in the past few days were in vain. Not only did they go on strike collectively, they also blocked the entrance of Lingyun Hall.
To explain.
In fact, the one who was most heartbroken was Sixth Master Uncle You Bu.
He had just handed over nine-tenths of his entire fortune to Ran Shaotang, but he never expected that this guy would be dead or dead in the blink of an eye.
When he and his seventh junior brother talked about this matter, the seventh junior brother Yan Qingmei said quietly: "Maybe this is a plan to escape. My nephew may have escaped with the money."
Because of this guess, You Bu, who cherished money as much as his life, didn't sleep well for two days and two nights. Li Zhi passed by his room in the middle of the night and saw an oil lamp in the hand, but no one was there. Finally, he was found in the medicine field.
Li Zhi asked his master why he was wandering around in the medicine field with a torch on instead of resting.
You BuTong looked up to the sky and sighed: "Get your brothers and sisters up and stop sleeping. Immediately open up a few open spaces on the hillside into fields and plant herbs tomorrow."
What a sin. How many herbs do you have to plant to earn back the money?
Li Zhi: ...He goes to the toilet when he needs to go to the toilet. Why should he look for the master when he has nothing to do?
...
Therefore, when he heard that Ran Shaotang was back, You Bu immediately put on Shimodian's shorts and blocked Kunfeng's passage back to Yaowang Hall.
Just to ask: "Does what you said before about running a bank still count?"
It wasn't until he got Ran Shaotang's affirmative reply that You Bu was satisfied and went back to planting medicinal materials.
Li Zhi was puzzled. Since he was worried about handing over the money to Ran Shaotang, why not take this opportunity to get the money back.
You BuTong gritted his teeth, did he not want it back? When money is in the hands of others, it is even harder to get it back. Although it is obviously yours, the person who got the money is more like an uncle than you.
Looking at Li Zhi, who was not very smart, You Bu made a meaningful remark that was not in his style: "Running a bank is beneficial to the Yaowang Sect. The important task of establishing a sect and a sect is not shouldered by the teacher, who is responsible? As the saying goes.
If I don’t go to hell, who will?”
No matter how he listened to it, Li Zhi felt that these words were plated with gold and were very high-sounding.
The first thing Ran Shaotang did after returning was to report to Master Feng Rang and Master Feng Taotao where she had been since the incident and how she had spent the past few days.
She told the identity of the person who saved her, and also tactfully proposed that she would go to Hongfu Inn three days later to pick up a gift to thank Zong Zhengshen. However, she said nothing about the transaction between the two of them.
All the hidden details are important parts that she doesn't want outsiders to know.
Feng Rang and Feng Taotao only wanted her to be safe.
Everyone was happy to see that her injuries were not serious and there was no need to write to the general's office to explain this troublesome matter.
Master Feng Rang left her alone and forced her to swear not to reveal the identity of the young master of Shura Palace in Zhongjiuchu. He also did not tell her the reason for keeping it secret.
How could Shaotang let someone let go of an opportunity so easily?
She took the opportunity to ask her master for relief from Xie Yingren's confinement, and praised Cheng Yi a few times for how he was not afraid of sacrifices to protect her when the car overturned. As a result, Cheng Yi was not only forgiven by Feng Rang and Feng Taotao, but also praised a few times as an exception.
, this matter has finally been brought to light.
Secretly, Feng Rang always felt uneasy and ordered Zhong Jiuchou to continue investigating the unknown conspiracy behind it.
Feng Taotao specially prepared a scar-removing ointment for his little lover and sent it to him with regret.
While Qin Xiaoyue carefully applied medicine to Ran Shaotang, she explained in detail what had happened in Jingshan in the past few days.
On the day of the accident, Xiaoyue followed Ran Shaotang's request and went from house to house and hilltop to ask if anyone was willing to buy shares.
Originally, Wang Fuji's family and Granny Xu's family actively promoted the incident, leading some villagers to come the next day to sign the confirmation letter. However, Shaotang did not return, and the matter was delayed again and again, leading to rumors that Ran Shaotang had absconded with the money.
But Qin Xiaoyue was very angry.
"Yao Wensheng's wife also took the lead in going to the mountain to ask for wages. If my father and Mr. Man hadn't stopped her, they would have moved away all the valuable things in the house."
The more Qin Xiaoyue talked, the angrier she became. She simply ignored her father's words of "Don't talk nonsense to make the young master angry" and started to complain a lot.
"I heard that it was Yao Wensheng's wife who encouraged the villagers to go to Lingyun Palace to cause trouble."
"She was the one who instigated the strike in Kanfeng last time. Later, when she saw that the young master would not accept this trick, she begged the owner of Huashan Mountain to let her husband go back to work in the orchard. He is worthless and a loser who cannot stay idle."
Ran Shaotang put down his chopsticks and looked at Qin Xiaoyue again.
