The guy carried the rice bag back to the inn. Before he could deliver it to the kitchen, he was stopped by the shopkeeper.

“How is it outside?”

"I heard that the fight started in the inner city..."

The shopkeeper was so scared that he was trembling and panicked that he was about to close the door immediately.

The guy quickly finished the second half of the sentence: "It was the Jinyiwei and the soldiers patrolling the city. The group of people who blocked the market yesterday started fighting. I don't know what the specific situation is. I only heard that the fight was very fierce. The soldiers kept rushing to the inner city. The two doctors from Shanyaotang in Beijie were taken away by the soldiers, saying that they would go to save people."

The inn shopkeeper did not breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, but became even more nervous.

"How is this good? Alas."

He was restless, and the woman next to him advised: "The city gates are blocked, and you can't go out, and it's useless to worry about it. Why not buy some food while the rice shop is still open. If there is a case, you can still last longer than others."

"What do you know? If the capital is completely in chaos, no matter how much property, rice and grain are hidden in the house, they will be robbed in the end. I am afraid that you and I will not be able to save your lives..."

The shopkeeper only cursed and then sighed.

The woman couldn't stand his cowardly appearance and turned around and left.

"Look, it's really a woman's opinion, what she looks like."

The guy laughed dryly, and didn't agree with the shopkeeper. He wanted to buy it because he was afraid of being robbed of grain. What should I do when there is no grain? There are so many guests in the inn who have not left, even if I close the door, I can't hold on if I make a fuss inside.

As he was talking, suddenly a group of fierce men came outside.

"Shopkeeper, stay in a hotel."

The guy was pushed to the front by the shopkeeper and replied tremblingly: "Several distinguished guests, the shop is full of customers."

"What, there isn't here either?!"

The leading man turned his eyes and forced himself to squeeze over and pick up the shopkeeper.

The palm-leaf fan slapped hard on the counter. He grinned and said, "Why do I think you still have free houses? Are your wood and kitchens also full of people?"

"No, no. But those places are very messy and cannot be occupied..."

"Who said we were going to live? Let you and the shop's guy go to the woodshed and move the room out to the uncle!"

The shopkeeper was dissatisfied and trembled, saying, "But the room we live in has no windows, and..."

Apart from furniture, it is not much better than a wood-room.

The shopkeeper of this inn is very stingy and treats himself mean, let alone the shop assistants, who can only live in a dilapidated house next to the horse shed. The other party obviously won't be satisfied with this kind of house.

"Don't you have customers in your store? Ask them to change the house!"

"How did this happen?" the shopkeeper said as he looked out the door.

Immediately afterwards, he was thrown to the ground heavily, grinning in pain.

"There are all officers and soldiers outside, how can you..."

"They are not outside the door. This inn is so remote. Even if you shout out loud, you still have to finish a cup of tea." The evil man looked at the inn shopkeeper and laughed, "Besides, we just stayed in a hotel and didn't give any money. What can the government say?"

He held his fist and looked at the people in the inn threateningly.

Some residents on the second floor heard the noise and came out to check it out. When they met the eyes of the evil men, they immediately shook back.

The evil man in the lead whispered, signaling the person who was traveling with him to grab one and forcefully change the house.

The person behind him nodded knowingly and climbed the stairs.

The layout of the inn is similar, with good lighting and ventilated locations, so you can find the room at a glance.

"Dongdongdongdongdong."

The door was beaten to the sky. Looking at the closed door, the evil man was about to kick it up when suddenly the door opened.

Then an invisible force pushed them back one after another. The people in front were under great force, while the people behind were completely suppressed by their companions and couldn't figure out what was going on.

A bunch of people rolled back and half down the stairs like stringed rice dumplings.

The evil man holding the collar of the shopkeeper changed his expression and pulled out the short knife hidden in his waist.

Upstairs, Lu Min carefully opened the door a crack and looked at the door next door with a complicated expression. He thought that these people were very lucky. There were about four or five rooms in the inn, and they didn’t knock on it. Why did they have to find Master Meng?

At this time, Mo Li walked out of the door.

Lu Min hesitated and asked in a low voice: "There is too much trouble. Will it attract people from Taijing Prefecture?"

"You said it right, so it's me."

Doctor Mo glanced at the second prince and walked towards the stairs.

Lu Min: "…"

Suddenly, I felt that I had asked the national teacher to kill the monarch for 100 taels of silver. Oh no, the price of beating the monarch is indeed a bit low. Master Meng agreed that it might be because it was a big deal, not because of money.

A gangster like a roadsider who can't receive money after fighting, Master Meng doesn't even look at it. It's not that he doesn't want to take over a big deal, so he can't cause a sensation in the world. What's the point of fighting!

The second prince's misunderstanding of Meng Qi became increasingly serious, but Master Meng was unaware of it.

Meng Qi listened carefully to the movement outside. He wanted to go out, but the doctor refused.

"It's just a small matter." Dr. Mo said very easily, his eyelashes drooping slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

When Meng Qi was in a daze, the doctor went out.

No, I haven't said the style of the water tank yet!

Meng Qi started to think about it. The doctor seemed a little unhappy just now. Don’t like the water tank?

However, there are regulations in the capital that no random excavation is allowed. Even if the well is dug, it is necessary to report to the government, including the location and size of the well. Only after obtaining permission can someone be found to dig the well. In the end, the government has to send yamen runners and officials to check. If it does not match the reported location, it will be convicted.

This is true for ordinary people's homes, and so is the houses of wealthy households and officials.

Even if you build your own land and garden, the government has to come to explore it.

On the one hand, it is to avoid the plotters secretly digging tunnels, and on the other hand, it is to ensure the safety of the capital itself. Thousands of years ago, Taijing had built gardens outside the city because the wealthy families built gardens, cut off the rivers and streams to make the landscape of their own homes. When heavy rain suddenly came, the flood could not be discharged through the river, and it actually flooded half of Taijing.

Later, a wealthy family bought half of the alley and repaired it extensively, causing the entire street to sink.

Although Meng Qi could rely on his martial arts and not use craftsmen to find a proper place to dig a pond, it would be better not to dig such a small pond.

Although Qi Dynasty can buy a three-entry yard with 100 taels of silver for Chu Dynasty, it is the lowest price. Not only is the location of the house relatively remote, but the area is also relatively narrow, and there is no photo of it when entering the door.

There are only a few trees in the backyard. Even if you dig a pond, the area of ​​this pond is not much larger than that of a water tank, unless the house is demolished.

Or lift the floor of the house and turn it into a "pool" with a roof?

This is harder than simply digging a pond...

Meng Qi leaned on the chair, and he seemed to feel the helplessness he had when he was an official in the Chu Dynasty many years ago.

As the dragon vein of Shangyun Mountain, it clearly includes nineteen peaks and there are as many land as possible, but when you arrive in the capital, you can only live in a peaceful house given by the emperor.

Now there is no house left.

Although it is good to live in deep mountains and dense forests, the prosperity of Taijing is also very good.

Alas, if you have a thousand miles of land, but there are no tiles on it, it is probably only the dragon vein!

Meng Qi began to recall where he had hidden money. In addition to the plaques in the palace and the silver on the city gate tower, it seemed that it was the former National Master's Mansion and Observatory Platform, as for the Minister of Rites, the General's Mansion, etc., he had to check whether these mansions had been damaged and who they belonged to now.

Meng Qi quietly took out two silver cakes from his arms.

This was when he went to steal clothes in the middle of the night yesterday, he accidentally discovered that house he knew, had lived in, and his old friends, and the things he had hidden back then were not discovered.

Two pieces are combined and weigh one, which is about six taels of silver.

"boom."

A loud bang came downstairs.

Meng Qi was stunned and stuffed the silver cake back, and walked to the window in three steps.

I saw smoke and dust flying, and the tiles on the rooftops on the street fell all over the ground, and the people ran around in horror.

A figure flashed, and the mo carp jumped to the window on the second floor.

Meng Qi quickly opened the window and just welcomed the person in.

With just such a crack, a strong smell of gunpowder pours in.

"What's going on?"

"That group of people has □□ on them, maybe it's something from Pili Hall again." Mo Li said with a frown.

A few streets away, the imperial guards and yamen runners who heard the sound came here.

At this time, Lu Min was knocking outside in panic. Because Meng Qi did not lock the door, he accidentally fell in.

Seeing the second prince, Mo Li couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, just because he said that he would not cause too much noise when he went, and the result was exactly the opposite.

"Have we been discovered? How could ordinary gangsters carry them with them?"

"...Average gangsters don't know, but it's not certain that people from the martial arts world." Mo Li experienced this several times and felt from the bottom of her heart that there was no conspiracy here. Maybe she was unlucky and the other party was unlucky, so she rushed together.

"It's just a few trivial matters, why do they use it?" Meng Qi couldn't figure it out.

Mo Li was silent for a while and said, "He threw away many hidden weapons, and they were caught. Then he was probably red and lost his head, and smashed the black wooden tube. I don't know what it was, but I was afraid that the mechanism that could spray out the poison needle accidentally hurt the people, so he used the internal force to pull the hidden weapon to knock the wooden tube to the side. As a result, the wooden tube shattered in response to the sound, and more than a dozen black things rolled out."

That is Lei Zhenzi, the most famous Pili Hall.

Mo Li didn't know him at first, but after leaving Zhushan County, he had encountered him twice. He immediately wrapped his internal force around the deadly thing and threw it out of the inn and into the air.

Fortunately, no one was injured except for the shattering and shaking the tiles.

"Do you know where they came from?" Meng Qi could only hear that these evil men's accents were not from the northerners.

"I haven't signed up for it." Mo Li added, "I lit the acupoints and lay under the inn."

"The Imperial Guards are here! What should I do?"
