All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Bright red blood splattered on the tent.

Boss Qian's eyes widened and his head rolled off the bed onto the floor, making a thumping sound.

It seems like cutting winter melon.

The black shadow didn't pay too much attention to the way Boss Qian's head rolled down. He wiped the handle of the knife in his hand, dropped the knife, turned around and left Yihonglou.

He jumped out of Yihong Building and left with his brother who was waiting in the alley on guard.

.........

The next morning, Xie Lin went to ask the shopkeeper about the largest brick kiln in Jinyang City. After finding out the address, the two went out to the kiln to buy bricks.

The two men came to the brick kiln, and Xie Lin bought all the bricks and tiles that could be sold.

When the other party saw that they bought so much, his mouth was so wide open with smiles.

The responsible supervisor not only gave them less money but also helped to deliver the goods to their door.

This is also what Xie Lin requested.

“I don’t know where the guest needs to be sent?”

The supervisor asked Xie Lin.

Xie Lin told the address that he had already agreed with Xia Chan.

"Just deliver it to the woods outside the city. I'll have the porters waiting there."

"Oh, the guest is going to build a house outside the city?"

The supervisor asked one more question.

After all, big customers like to have the goods delivered to their doorstep so that they can pick up the goods conveniently.

No one was sent to the woods outside the city like Xie Lin was.

Xie Lin glanced at his supervisor, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

“Is this business difficult to do?”

If it’s difficult, I won’t do it.

The supervisor understood what he meant and immediately shut up.

I didn’t dare to ask anymore.

I’m afraid this business will fail.

He wrote a receipt to Xie Lin and agreed to start delivering bricks and tiles today.

Xie Lin nodded, not afraid that they would default on their debt.

Turned around and walked out the door.

Xia Chan was drinking tea in a tea stall not far outside. When she saw Xie Lin coming out, she raised her hand and waved.

Xie Lin walked over.

Xia Chan poured him a cup of tea.

"Have you settled the deal? How many bricks are there?"

"About 80,000 bricks and 30,000 tiles."

"Well, how many houses can it build?"

Xia Chan is more curious about this.

Xie Lin thought for a moment and said, "With the wood, it will be enough to build a two-story courtyard."

"That's it..."

A courtyard with two entrances feels a bit small.

There are quite a few Xie family members, and the canyon is quite large, so it is better to build the house as big as possible.

It would be best if the old lady had one courtyard, Xie Su and her two sisters-in-law had one courtyard, and the three brothers of the Xie family each had a courtyard.

By this calculation, we still need to buy another 100,000 yuan worth of bricks and 50,000 yuan worth of tiles.

Xia Chan is not short of money and has enough space to accommodate it.

If that’s the case, then they’ll continue buying?

She asked Xie Lin for his opinion.

Do you want to continue buying?

"can."

"Okay, then shall we go look somewhere else?"

"Ah."

Xie Lin paid two cents for the tea, and the couple left the tea stall together.

On the way, we met many officers and soldiers.

The two of them moved aside.

Xia Chan then told Xie Lin about the idle chatter she had heard while she was drinking tea just now.

"The boss of the monkey show we saw on North Street last night was murdered, and we are currently searching for the murderer."

This also indirectly explains to Xie Lin why there are so many soldiers and officers on the streets.

"Well, it's okay."

Xie Lin held her hand to reassure her.

Her makeup skills are very advanced, and their current appearance is completely different from their original appearance.

Most people would not think that they are the wanted criminals with the highest bounty listed on the notice.

And even if others knew their identities, it wouldn't matter, he could protect her well.

Keep her from getting hurt.

But it was obvious that no one on the street knew them.

They spent a whole day running around all the brick and tile kilns in Jinyang City, and bought nearly 200,000 bricks and 90,000 tiles in total.

This number seems huge... ahem, it is actually huge.

Fortunately, there is enough space for the summer cicada.

After agreeing on the delivery address, which was a woods outside the city, Xie Lin and the others returned to the inn.

Xie Lin went to get the horse he had just bought today, helped Xia Chan onto the carriage, and then drove the carriage towards the city.

After returning to the inn, they handed the carriage to the waiter and went into the inn.

In the inn, which always has a large flow of customers, people sitting on the first floor drinking tea and chatting are all discussing the death of Qian Youcai, the owner of the monkey troupe.

"That death was so tragic."

"You didn't see it. The head rolled to the ground like a winter melon. The little girl who slept with him was so scared that she was stunned."

"How can I not be stupid? Waking up and seeing the head of my lover gone, anyone would be shocked."

"That's right. Not to mention Xiao Taohong, even grown men like us would be scared silly if we opened our eyes and saw something like this."

"Yes!"

These people were discussing what happened last night, one after another.

"That monkey show made money, but I don't know who attracted the attention of Mr. Qian. Who killed him with a knife?"

Most of these outsiders speculated that Boss Qian was killed by someone who was jealous of him.

Many people agree with this statement.

But there are also a small number of people who have different opinions.

"I heard that the monkey show, which was so lifelike and looked like a human, actually had people in it."

The person who said this was wearing a green cloth shirt, a hair crown on his head, and holding a fan in his hand.

He looks like a cultured person at first glance.

In other words, he is a person who is very good at pretending to be profound.

As a result, his words quickly attracted other people's attention.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, what do you mean by that? Did your cousin, the head of the police, tell you any inside information?"

"What did Captain Wang say? Who did he say the murderer might be? Will the murderer commit another crime?"

It's normal for people to be alert and worried when a murder happens in the city.

Wang Xuejiu found that everyone's attention was on him, even the couple who were going up the stairs stopped. He waved his fan proudly.

It feels good to be noticed.

He enjoys this time.

However, Wang Xuejiu also knew that he couldn't keep the secret, otherwise others would not believe him.

He waved his fan and spoke slowly, "Qian Youcai was killed, and his two fortune monkeys also disappeared. Don't you think this is strange?"

"There's nothing strange about it!"

"Yes, Boss Qian's rival attacked him, and he must be trying to rob Boss Qian's fortune tree!"

In the eyes of these people, the monkey that does whatever it is called is Boss Qian's money tree.

And the person who killed him would naturally not miss the wealth he had obtained.

So they took the monkey away.

"No, no, there is a servant next to Boss Qian, and he has already explained everything."

"There are humans among the monkey kings. Qian Youcai tricked them a month and a half ago and branded them with freshly peeled monkey skins."

"Then, day and night, we trained them to learn the monkeys' movements and habits."
