"Brother Zhang, have you heard that the young master from our county party official asked someone to kidnap the vote two days ago."

"Which party member is outside?"

"There are a few foreigners in Qiantang County who are surnamed Fang? Of course, it is Fang Moshan, the richest man in Qiantang, who is known as Fangban County."

"hiss"

"Fang Yuanwai is not only rich in Qiantang, but also said to have a brother who is a high-ranking official in Beijing. He wants money and power, and even the county magistrate has to be respectful when he sees him. Who is so bold that he dares to make ground on Tai Sui's head?"

"Hehe, so what if you are rich and powerful? If you really encounter a desperate who is not afraid of death, you can only stare at me?"

The first person who spoke to him couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

Then he pretended to be mysterious and whispered: "I heard that the person who committed the case this time was a gang of thieves who came from the north. The ones who were tied up were rich, and those who were not rich were too lazy to pay attention to you."

"Really, where did you hear it?"

"I have an aunt from Yuan Fang who works as a nurse in Fang's house. I heard that this is what she said. And I also heard that the kidnappers would have to pay ten thousand taels as soon as they opened their mouths."

"Ten thousand taels? My goodness, how much money does that cost! It's enough for me to earn in my lifetime."

"What's so strange about this? You don't think about it. That's the Fang family. Not to mention our Qiantang County, even if you look at the entire Hangzhou Prefecture, the Fang family still has a No. 1. If you blackmail his family, can you offer less? "

"Have the Fang family paid the money?"

"Of course I gave it to it, that's the only seed of their Fang family. Not to mention ten thousand taels, even if it costs twenty thousand taels or thirty thousand taels, will the Fang family dare not give it to it?"

"My goodness, those thieves really got it."

…………

When I heard this, Zhou Tong didn't care much.

This kind of kidnapping and extortion has been indispensable in any era since ancient times, and there is nothing strange about it.

But before he could divert his attention, the subsequent words completely aroused his interest.

"Haha, if you have the life to make money, you have to have the life to spend it."

This was a person next to him who suddenly interrupted.

"Oh, this isn't a council officer (Brother Wang). Why didn't I sit on duty in the yamen today? I'm here when I have time!"

The two chattering were shocked.

When I turned my head and saw that I immediately recognized the person I was talking.

Judging from their meanings, this person seemed to be a yamen runner in the yamen.

"Please sit down by Wang Certificate (Brother Wang)."

The two of them quickly poured the wine, moved the chairs, and gave the yamen runner to the table.

"I heard from Brother Wang, is there any hidden information here?"

"That's certain."

The yamen runner named Wang nodded, picked up the full wine cup in front of him and took a sip, then said, "Your information is quite well-informed, but unfortunately I don't know it all."

"Is the Fang family so easy to provoke? They redeem their young master, and then went to the yamen to file a complaint."

"We forced our magistrate to send all the constables in the yamen to search for the damn kidnappers, and also issued documents to inform the nearby prefectures and counties, so that the Fangshifu was comforted."

"Brother Wang, is that person looking for him?"

"Of course I've found it, otherwise how could I be so relaxed and have time to chat with you here?"

"Searched so soon?"

Both of them chatting before were a little surprised.

They are all locals and know the yamen runners and constables in the county well.

Although it’s not a big deal, I just handle cases in a sloppy manner. When did I get so efficient?

"Brother Wang, where did you find it? Have you all been arrested?"

"Actually, we didn't catch them at all. Those guys scared themselves to death."

The yamen runner named Wang said with a smile.

"I scared myself to death?"

The other two were confused and a sense of absurdity arose in their hearts.

He dared to kidnap the son of the richest man in Qiantang. This group of thieves are brave, but they cannot be cowards.

How could you scare yourself to death?

The runner-in-law seemed to see the two of them's questions and said with a smile: "If you want to say that it is these thieves in Jiangyang who are asking for trouble. Do you know where they live after they ran to our Qiantang County?"

“Where to live?”

"They were not sure about the depth of the outsiders, but they actually lived in the Qiu Palace!"

"King Qiu Mansion?! Those people actually ran to that haunted house to live? No wonder."

The two of them couldn't help but gasp.

There is a famous haunted house in Qiantang County. I don’t know how many years have passed, and my reputation for being haunted has been passed down for countless years.

No local people dare to buy it, and even those beggars who have no place to live, they dare not run there to live there.

Those thieves actually dared to run there to live, no wonder they were scared to death.

"King Qiu Mansion!"

Zhou Tong next to him couldn't help but feel a sudden heart.

Isn’t this Qiu Wangfu the later Bai Mansion?

In the original work, Xiaoqing first entrenched there.

Later, Bai Suzhen came to West Lake to find someone and wanted to stay there, but she conquered Xiaoqing.

After meeting Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen renovated the entire mansion with magic and then built the wedding room for the two.

If he hadn't heard these people talk about it, he would have never thought of this for a while.

"I don't know if Xiaoqing came at this time?"

If you can scare a group of thieves to death, there must be something in the Qiu Palace, but I don’t know if it was done by Xiaoqing.

Although he had watched the original drama at the beginning, Xiaoqing had already occupied the Qiu Palace at the beginning. Therefore, he really didn't know what the Qiu Palace was like before.

But from what these people mean, Prince Qiu’s Mansion seems to have a name as a ghost house now?

Did Xiaoqing make a fuss?

Or has it been there for a long time, but there is no show in the plot?

"Look back and take a look."

With such thoughts arose in his mind, Zhou Tong had no intention of listening to gossip at the table next to him.

After dinner, Zhou Tong settled the bill and came out of the restaurant, he didn't hurry to find the inn.

I casually found a local kind person to ask the way out, and then went straight to Prince Qiu's mansion.

Qingbomen Shuangcha Lane.

Located in the southeast of West Lake, surrounded by mountains and water, the environment is pleasant.

Nearby, there is a winding waterway connecting West Lake that runs around the street, bringing a touch of natural atmosphere to the noisy city.

One of the tributaries was deliberately introduced into a large-scale abandoned mansion.

If someone looks down from the sky, he will find that this mansion is actually extremely extraordinary.

The pavilions and lofts are arranged in a scattered manner, the rockery and flowing waters complement each other, and the mountains are stacked and green and winding paths are secluded. It is obvious that it was also written by a master and was ingenious.

But now there are vines everywhere, wild vines surround the walls, beams of the houses fall down, doors and windows are broken, obviously no one has lived in it and has been abandoned for a long time.

The mansion is located in Shuangcha Lane, and the door of the mansion is facing a temple of the God of Wealth.
