Xingnong watched Village Chief Gu and his wife leave, then glanced at the small window of the house diagonally opposite, and the window closed gently.
A cold light flashed in her eyes. She turned around and was about to go back to the house, but she vaguely heard a shout. She thought about it and walked over and came to the small window.
In the house
"Ouch!" Aunt Li got down from the stool and fell to the ground because her feet were numb from standing for too long.
Shen Dafu walked in drunk and frowned: "What are you doing?"
Seeing that he didn't care about his numb feet, Aunt Li immediately said, "Didn't Madam Yao ask me to keep an eye on that family of bitches? Just now I saw the head of the refugee village come to the Gu family and hand them a stack of land deeds and house deeds. He also said that the house has been repaired and asked them to move in. The Gu family just cheated Madam Yao out of her money and used the money to buy land and houses! Go and tell Master Shen right away."
Aunt Li was so envious! With more than one hundred taels, she could buy a lot of land.
She had helped Yao keep an eye on the Gu family's every move for so many years, but she didn't get more than a hundred taels!
Just by giving her money, she built a house made of blue bricks and tiles, and locked that bitch's family in a narrow alley, leaving them in darkness.
Upon hearing this, Shen Dafu immediately cursed: "Damn it, no wonder that poor bastard Gu Yangbin had the money to buy land! He made me lose a few taels of money!"
Taohua Village was originally a refugee village where most of the villagers fled to settle down. It was also the poorest village among the nearby villages. Most people in the nearby villages looked down on the people of Taohua Village.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Li stood up immediately despite the numbness in her feet and asked nervously, "What do you mean you earned less? What happened?"
Shen Dafu: "Shen Shihua said that Sun Wenhao lost a lot of money in the gambling house, and his family has a few acres of good farmland and dry land to sell. He knows that Sun Wenhao and I often drink together, so he asked me to go to Sun Wenhao to buy. I spent a hundred coins to buy a jar of good wine today, thinking of getting him drunk, and taking the opportunity to let him sell those fields to me at a low price! Then I can make a little profit from the difference! I didn't expect that Gu Yangbin would ruin my good deeds again!"
Aunt Li was furious when she heard this, "That son of a bitch! No, I'm going to tell Old Master Shen!"
Yesterday, Li was thrown into jail, Shen Mingzhu was beaten with a stick, and the eldest wife of the Shen family paid more than one hundred taels of silver as compensation to the Gu family. Everyone in the village knew about this!
Yao asked her maid to tell her that as long as she kept a close eye on the Gu family and passed on useful information to her, she would be given a calf if her cow gave birth to one.
The three cows of the Shen family have always been hers, and she knows that the cow is pregnant with a calf again!
Aunt Li rushed out.
Outside the wall, Xingnong folded her arms and leaned against the wall in a lazy posture. Hearing this, she stood up straight and glanced coldly at the head of the Shen family.
It turns out that Yao had been asking Aunt Li to keep an eye on their family for years.
It seems that the eldest branch of the Shen family became wealthy after Shen Ruolan went to Beijing.
She thought about what the eldest branch of the Shen family had done over the years.
No wonder Gu encountered thieves every time he went into the city to earn money, and even broke his legs!
It must be because Aunt Li tipped off!
Oh~
The wealth of the Shen family's eldest branch came from eating Gu's flesh and drinking Gu's blood!
What a great Shen’s Winery!
Xingnong returned to the house and the family was talking about moving the day after tomorrow.
Gu asked Xingnong: "Xingnong, how about moving to Taohua Village the day after tomorrow?"
"It's up to Grandma to decide."
"Then we'll move the day after tomorrow!" Gu made the final decision.
Gu handed the deeds and documents to Xingnong: "Your uncle Gu bought the land for us and registered it in the name of Zesen, hoping to save us some taxes. But he is not the kind of person who would do such a thing. Among his own land, only Zesen's share is registered in Zesen's name. I guess he wants to help us pay it secretly. Tomorrow you go to the city and change the name back! There are the sales documents below, just take the documents with you."
"Okay." Xing Nong took it and put it in her arms. With a thought, the stack of deeds disappeared in her arms.
It is so convenient to have a space that you can carry with you. Before Xingnong could finish his sigh, the stack of deeds entered the creation space, and then disappeared with a flash of starlight!
Xing Nong: !!!!!!!!!!!!
Where is her title deed
Is it possible that this creation space cannot contain foreign objects
Xing Nong's mind moved, and a stack of land deeds appeared in his arms.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Although I can't see where the deed is stored after entering the creation space, I can take it out with my mind!
I guess it was placed in that corridor that you can't enter.
At night, the family gathered around the oil lamp, each busy with their own things. The questions Xinghui brought back became more and more difficult, and almost all of them were taught by Xingnong.
Xinghui even suspected that Master Zhang did not give this question to him, but to his sister.

A dark and windy night
Xingnong gently pushed the door open and walked out. She glanced at the high wall, then jumped up, grabbed the wall with both hands, and flipped to the other side of the wall.
The original owner had seen Shen Shihua bring back a box of things from the city every once in a while, and move them into the house after dark. She guessed that the box contained account books.
The Shen family's house has only two entrances and not many rooms. Xingnong saw a room that was locked from the outside, which should be the warehouse.
She walked over and took out a piece of wire...
A dark figure approached silently and grabbed her hand.
Xing Nong was startled and grabbed the other person's wrist with his backhand.
A subtle scent similar to that of cedar wafted into her nostrils.
"It's me." A deep and cold voice sounded next to her ear.
Xing Nong: "..."
How did he end up here
Chu Tiankuo, who was wearing nightgown, loosened his hand and motioned her to move aside.
Xing Nong took two steps back.
Chu Tiankuo took out a bamboo tube and blew some smoke into it.
After waiting for a while, he took the wire from Xingnong's hand and opened the door easily.
"Let's go!" Chu Tiankuo walked in first.
Xing Nong followed him in and found a wolfhound sleeping soundly in the corner.
Xing Nong asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
Chu Tiankuo looked around and saw the brazier in the corner. The ashes inside were no longer hot, and there was still a faint smell of smoke in the air. "Check the account book. What about you?"
He wanted to check the transactions from more than ten years ago, but it seemed that he was a step too late.
There are several large wooden boxes in this room, all locked.
Chu Tiankuo took a wire and opened a wooden box, which was full of account books.
Xing Nong: “Same.”
Chu Tiankuo guessed what she was going to do and said, "The Shen family winery did not evade taxes. His daughter wanted to participate in the beauty pageant, and all the girls who participated in the beauty pageant had to check their family backgrounds, because the girls would enter the palace to serve the emperor in the future, so the check was very strict. The Shen family did not dare to evade taxes if they had this plan."
The reason why Ren Zilin made such a big fuss about investigating taxes was just to take the opportunity to check the account books over the years, see the flow of silver, and look for some evidence.
"Well, then I must have come all this way for nothing!" Xing Nong held up his chin and looked at the boxes, wondering if there was any silver...
