Soon, without torture, Zhou Ying'er was enlightened by Bao Xi and bowed her head to confess. Du Sansheng immediately led his men to dig 200,000 yuan hidden under a big locust tree struck by lightning in the western suburbs.

Wrapped in oil paper and put it in cans, laying the hay. In addition, the rain is dry in winter, the copper coins are brand new as if they were cast, and there is almost no rust. Even the coins woven by the decaying lavender are good, and they sound like they are cheering, which makes people feel happy.

Obviously, Zhou Ying'er had not lie before. He prepared so carefully that he was indeed ready to return privately in the future. The birds flew back home, the fox died in the hill, and the beasts could not leave their hometown, let alone humans?

Du Sansheng waved his hand and deducted 50,000 yuan, took out 20,000 yuan to his servants, and handed over the rest to the treasury of the county government. He believed that he loved money, but who in the world did not love money? As long as he took it well, he gave one to the top, one to the bottom, and another to himself, it would not be a loss of conscience!

After Gu Yun went to the court for interrogation, he followed Bao Xi's opinion and sentenced Zhou Ying'er to ten years in prison for fraud and fleeing money. He was punished with 80 sticks and confiscated all his family's wealth. His wife and son were demoted to slavery. Zhou Ying'er received Bao Xi's guarantee, but wanted to save her life. If she had good luck in the future, she would still be able to see the light of day again when she was amnesty. She kept her mouth shut and did not confess the matter of He's in the court.

As for Su Tang, although she was a victim, she ignored the national law because of small profits. Gu Yun thought that her woman was ignorant and deceived, so she was given a lighter treatment and fined 5,000 yuan to warn her. After scolding her in court, she returned the 350,000 yuan she had been cheated and ordered Li Zheng in Xicheng to strictly control her.

When he returned to Jingyuan, Su Tang wanted to take out 50,000 yuan as a reward and said, "I also know that this amount of money is not as good as the husband's kindness. But now he is powerless and will repay him in the future."

Xu You declined politely and said with a smile: "You and I met because of Zhou Ying'er, which is a rare opportunity. It's too vulgar to talk about money. Could it be that if you eat a lot of pastries from the embroiderer, you have to calculate the money for the girl?"

"It was me who said nothing! The husband is elegant and generous, with the spirit of an ancient benevolent man, and his mere money has no way to defile the husband's extraordinary temperament."

"They are all people in the world. Where do they come from? Girls are too famous!" The skillful work of flattery can be passed down for thousands of years. It is because no matter whether it is true or false, you will feel refreshed when you hear it. Xu You pondered for a moment and said, "There is a sentence that may be very profound, but I don't know if it should be said or not?"

"My husband, please speak frankly! My daughter listened attentively!" Su Tang's eyes were filled with the unique enthusiasm of the girl. Staring at Xu You seriously made people's hearts jump.

"You are alone, and it is not easy to manage your family. You don't have any particularly profitable business at the moment. It's better to find a house earlier and buy some land for a long-term plan." Xu You said seriously: "I'm not driving you away, but people will have immediate worries if they don't have long-term plans..."

Su Tang raised his eyebrows, and the gentle face of a woman in Jiangnan showed a bit of the clearness and determination of the snow in the northern country. He interrupted Xu You and said, "What the husband teaches is! Houses, fields, and then will you find another man to marry? From now on, you can rest assured, take care of your husband and children, and work together to grow old?"

Xu You sighed. It is undoubtedly a shame to talk to a woman. Besides, he is not a talkative person at all, and he has no interest in debating the difference between dependence and independence with her. He raised his hands on his chest to surrender and said, "Girls are not as good as men, and they have their own complicity in everything. I will take back what I said just now!"

"I know the kindness of your husband!"

Perhaps Xu You's actions were too funny, Su Tang suddenly restrained his sharpness, pursed his lips and smiled, bent down and bowed, and said, "I'm worried about you! However, although I am a woman and have nothing to do, it's not difficult to settle in Qiantang. As for the house, I'll ask my sister to look for her tomorrow, which will not be delayed for a few days. It's just that after leaving like this, it's probably difficult to listen to your husband's teachings again."

Su Tang lived in Jingyuan for more than a month and met Xu You only twice. He almost started arguing after saying a few words. No matter what, he didn't dare to give any so-called teachings. He stood up, bowed his hand, and said, "Take care, girl!"

Three days later, Su Tang found a good house and moved out. What surprised Xu You was that the house was actually located directly opposite Jingyuan. The two families were separated by a wide brocade stream and walked westward for more than 30 steps. There was a stone bridge across the street, which allowed pedestrians to go back and forth. After visiting the autumnal equinox, Lufrost came back and said that it was a two-entry house, three or four times smaller than Jingyuan. There was no garden for viewing, no rockery carvings, and no place to pay attention to the layout. It seemed that it was an outdoor room raised by a certain official family. In the middle of the year, the house was vacant. Due to the high price, it was not sold.

"How much?"

"I heard from Sister Fang that I want 100,000 yuan!"

Xu You didn't know the price level of Chu State, and he also understood that the price was indeed too high. No wonder he was still looking for someone who had been selling for half a year. Who would be willing to buy it? It was either a fool or a fool.

Su Tang didn't look like a stupid and stupid person. Xu You was very surprised and said, "Why did she buy such a house?"

Lu Shuang wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, her face turned red, and she stammered: "Maybe it has something to do with Xiao Lang's words that day..."

"What?"

Xu You almost forgot what he said to Su Tang. Lu Shuang looked at his face and said with courage: "Xiao Lang said that she was not careful enough to live her life. She spent money like flowing water, but she didn't buy a land and house... Oh, and she also told her to get married soon..."

Xu You shouted and said, "Heaven and Earth can be learned. When did I say this? Let her save some money and buy land and houses to settle down. This is there! But if you get married... I care whether she is married or not? This sentence was said by herself, how did it come to my head?"

"It's hard to raise a woman and a villain, but Xiaolang doesn't know!" Lu Shuang said softly: "Girl Su is arrogant and even calls herself a girl on the visiting post. It can be seen that she is a person who refuses to admit defeat and refuses to accept her fate. She deliberately lives opposite her, probably for Xiaolang to see..."

"Show me?" Xu You was so amused and crying. This was a kindness that would not be rewarded. Who did he provoke whom?

"I probably want Xiaolang to see with his own eyes that Su Tang can live a good life without getting married or being frugal!"

"Ambition!"

Xu You praised it and put it aside. What he needed to care about was Zhu Fayan, who would preside over the foundation laying ceremony of Dade Temple in Qiantang County in the future.

An Zidao issued an edict to convert 73 Taoist temples in Yangzhou into Buddhist temples. After nearly two months of preparation and a long journey, dozens of monks sent by six Buddhist schools and seven sects finally entered Yangzhou and divided them into locust-like divisions based on the amount and locations that were allocated in advance. Almost overnight, the huge Yangzhou turned from the dominant power of Tianshidao to a new situation where the Buddhist and Taoist religions were evenly divided.

Zhu Fayan was a senior disciple nicknamed the Prime Minister in Black and the leader of the Sect of Wu Sect. He had a prominent position among monks. He came to Qiantang in person and presided over the construction of Dade Temple, which showed Zhu Daorong's determination to promote the development of Buddhism in Yangzhou.

Zuo Qi and He Ru came back from outside. The weather was as cold as if they had fallen into an ice hole. He began to snow again. Zuo Qi's internal strength was deep, and his face could still remain rosy. He Ru's face had frozen to blue.

"So cold? Come and cook the fire and warm it up!"

The room was built with a fire wall to keep warm, but burning firewood was also a physical job. Jingyuan lacked servants, so he could only simply use a brazier to burn charcoal. In order to prevent poisoning, a small window was also necessary to ventilate, so the warmth effect was not very ideal.

"God... I'm getting colder every day, and the snow in the rice fields is about inch thick. If I don't stop, once I fall down, this year's harvest will be bad!"

Zuo Qi is a military rank in Yuan, but he has also dealt with tenants in the manor, and he knows a little about the farming industry. Since this winter came early this year, the autumn rice was postponed by about fifteen days compared to previous years. This will be the harvest season. If the snow is thicker, the harvesting progress and cost will increase in proportion, spreading to the people, which may cause large-scale panic and riots.

Xu You knew little about the farming business and asked, "Dongxue has come twice, and almost half of the rice fields have not been harvested. Is this common?"

"It's rare! Usually around October 15th, that is, the Sept. 1999, the water officials began to harvest. Now they should have been harvested and sealed in the jar."

Xu You became sensitive and frowned and said, "Will there be a famine?"

Zuo Qi was actually a little sensible and hesitated: "It shouldn't be possible? The one-year-old harvest is not very affected. Even if there are a small number of hungry people, the government will buy food in moderation, and there will never be a large-scale famine!"

Xu You looked at He Ru, and he thought for a while and said, "Since the failure of the three Northern Expeditions, Anzidao's military vehicles are not used. The people are not working outside the country, the lenient work is simple, and the gangsters are busy. It has been more than twenty years since the people's surplus grain is occupied by a mu, and households never sleep at night. It can be considered as the peak of the north and south, and it has not been seen in a century. As Feng Hu said, hunger for a year will never have much impact."

"That's good!" Xu You stopped considering this issue and said, "Have you seen Zhu Fayan?"

"The monk set up a lotus platform outside the Jinglu of Yuanyang, entrenched above ten thousand people, and there were more than a hundred disciples around him. It was really hard not to see it!" He Ruyu mocked him, but his eyes were full of smiles, and said, "Zhu Daorong wanted to make Sun Guan so angry that he actually chose Jinglu of Yuanyang to be the temple site of Dade Temple, which clearly meant to humiliate Tianshi! Ha, it was interesting, really interesting!"

"If you want to laugh, just laugh, don't get sick!" Xu You had no choice but to deal with him. After all, the more powerful the Buddhist and Taoist battles, the more turbulent the situation in Chu State. He said, "What did Zhu Fayan say?"

"I said a lot, all of them are the deceptive and ignorant words of Buddhism. The key point is only one sentence: the white snake is the most saint, but was killed by the thief, and resentment becomes a demon. With his compassion, he built the Dade Temple, both to suppress demons and eliminate demons, and to save the white snake and to rebirth in the Pure Land!"
