He came back relatively late, and the others had already fallen asleep. Chen Xingzhou sneaked back to the room, and as soon as he lit the candle, he saw a person sitting on the kang, which made him jump.

"Mom, why are you in my room?" Fortunately, he wasn't waiting at the door, and it was even more fortunate that he and Baigan didn't do anything.

"Why did you come back so late?"

Chen Xingzhou didn't expect that Liu Cui would suddenly check the post, so he didn't think of a reason in advance, saying that the store was too busy, Liu Cui would definitely not believe it, who would go to buy flour at night, can't they tell the truth?Had to try to change the subject.

"Mom, do you have anything to do with me?"

"I have something to tell you, come, come and sit."

Chen Xingzhou obediently sat next to Liu Cui.

Liu Cui looked at Chen Xingzhou lovingly, and said for a long time: "Someone told you about a marriage today. This girl is innocent, and I heard that she looks good. The family is in the tofu business, and there is an older brother. Two years ago I have also become a relative, the girl is about the same age as you, and is a good match."

Chen Xingzhou just said, Liu Cui hadn't checked the post on a daily basis, so why did he suddenly check the post today? It turned out that he was talking about his marriage.

Chen Xingzhou refused without thinking, "Mother, it's not the time to marry a wife yet. A good man is everywhere. Our business is not stable now, and there are still many problems. We really don't have time to get married. Besides, I don't want other girls to follow me." Bear with hardship, we are still waiting for the marriage, please mother refuse this marriage." Baigan retired because of him, how could he marry another woman?Besides, he is not interested in women, and marrying her is equivalent to harming her.

"As the saying goes, start a family first and start a career. Now that you have a career, it's time to get married. This time, the girl's family is in good condition, and she is a good match with our family. I think this marriage will be settled like this."

"Mother, don't make things difficult for me. I really have no plans to get married right now." It seemed that he had to tell Baigan about leaving as soon as possible.

"Xing Zhou, the Chen family is counting on you now, so don't make things difficult for your mother." At the end, Liu Cui's eyes turned red. She had already lost a son and an unborn grandson. ruined.

Chen Xingzhou's heart softened, "Mom, I'm tired today, let's talk about this matter tomorrow, let me think about it."

Hearing Chen Xingzhou let go, Liu Cui thought that he would agree tomorrow, so she hurriedly got up and left, but she didn't know that it was just a stopgap measure for him.

Facing the forced marriage, Chen Xingzhou quickly thought of a countermeasure. He planned to live in Baijia soon. Not only could the two spend more time together, but they could also discuss and deal with the Li family together. They made up their minds and slept soundly that night.

On the second day, Chen Xingzhou got up before dawn, put on his clothes, packed some change of clothes, and finally wrote a note, then sneaked out to become a monk and came to Baifu.

Ever since he was with Baigan, the guards at the gate of Baifu began to work during the day and rest at night. Now it was daytime, and the two attendants stood upright. Both of them knew Chen Xingzhou, so they let him in without notifying him.

Although the relationship between the two was unusual, Chen Xingzhou still caught the butler and asked, "Brother Bai, is he up?"

"Grandpa is eating in the living room."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

When he came to the living room, Baigan was eating breakfast. When he saw Chen Xingzhou coming, he was surprised at first, and then immediately ordered his servants to "bring some side dishes and porridge, and bring some steamed buns by the way."

"Yes." The attendant quickly stepped back and went to the kitchen to get breakfast.

"Xingzhou, why did you come here so early?"

"Eat first, let's talk after eating."

"Row."

After dinner, Chen Xingzhou told the whole story about Liu Cui's forced marriage, and finally said: "Brother Bai, I think you need a partner to accompany you to eat, what do you think of me?"

Baigan smiled, "I look at you very well."

"Haha, brother Bai, stop joking, let's discuss business matters, we will split into two groups today, I will go to Qingyou Pavilion, and you go to your friend, how about it?"

"no problem."

"Without further delay, act."

The two went out together, separated at the door, and acted independently.

Chen Xingzhou had no impression of Qing Fei, probably because he didn't like to join in the fun.

When we came to Qingyou Pavilion, as expected, the door was closed tightly. Chen Xingzhou said sorry to himself, then reached out and knocked hard on the door, making a loud knock.

Soon, someone opened the door, rubbed his eyes sleepily, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Who, come here early in the morning, don't you know that the door is not open during the day?"

It was Qingyu who opened the door.

"it's me."

Qingyu first heard Chen Xingzhou's voice, and then opened her eyes. It was indeed Chen Xingzhou who had come, and the dissatisfaction just now disappeared instantly, "Mr. Chen, come in quickly, are you here to find you?"

"Yes."

"My lord, he's in the upstairs room."

"Okay, I'll go up by myself, you go and rest."

"Ah."

When he came to Shen Jiu's room, Chen Xingzhou had a good memory this time, so he knocked on the door very hard, for fear that he might not be able to hear it from inside, and if something bad happened inside, he could hear it.

But this time it seemed that nothing bad was done inside, soon Shen Jiu's voice came out, "Come in."

Chen Xingzhou pushed the door open, only Shen Jiu was in the room, "Zhou Qingyou isn't here? It's rare."

"He went out, did you have something to do with me?" There was only Shen Jiu, who would always make this opening remark every time they met.

Chen Xingzhou never concealed it in front of Shen Jiu, and directly explained his intention of coming, "I want to find a young lady named Qing Fei."

"Oh? What are you looking for him for?"

"Ah Jiu, since you are the one asking, I won't hide it from you. This time I found out that there is something I want to ask him for help."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Jiu became even more curious, "What can Qing Fei do for you?"

"Call him for me first, and then I will tell you everything."

"Okay, I'll go right away, he's probably still sleeping, wait a minute."

Soon, Shen Jiu brought a man in and walked in with a strange face. Chen Xingzhou really didn't pay much attention to him, his face was tired, but it didn't affect his good looks. In ancient times, there were many beautiful men, and Qingyou Pavilion was rich in extremely beautiful men.

"People brought it here. If you have anything to do, just talk about it here." Seeing that Xing Zhou was so mysterious, Shen Jiu couldn't wait to find out.

"I have seen Young Master Chen."

"Do you know Li Shiduo?"

"Yes, he is my guest."

"Then do you know where his granary key is?"

Shen Jiu on the side was even more puzzled, Xing Zhou asked Li Shi what he was doing?Also ask the granary key?

Qingfei shook her head, "I don't know."

"How does Li Shiduo treat you?"

"Just my guest."

Qingfei's answer like this shows that he has no feelings for Li Shiduo, so it's easy to handle.

"I'll give you 100 taels of silver, how about finding out where the key is?"

Qing Fei didn't even think about agreeing, that's 100 taels, with this 100 taels he can not only redeem himself, but also do some small business after going out. As for Li Shiduo, he is nothing more than a guest, and it is not worth letting himself do it for him. Let go of this great opportunity.

"Okay, one and a half days, okay?" The rest of the day and a half still needs to get the keys, so the time is very tight.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, he sent someone to deliver a message yesterday, saying that he will come over tonight, and I will definitely ask where the key is at that time."

Whoring and posting posts is a fastidious person.

"Okay, waiting for your good news."

"I will definitely live up to my promise."

"Well, I see you are tired too, go back and rest." Qingfei yawned several times in just this moment.

"Yes, Young Master, Young Master Chen, Qing Fei is resigning."

As soon as Qing Fei left, Chen Xingzhou immediately told everything that had happened recently without waiting for Shen Jiu to ask.

After Chen Xingzhou left, his sentence "In order for the ordinary people to eat white flour steamed buns and my life every day, I must overthrow them." Shen Jiu kept echoing in Shen Jiu's ears. I didn't expect Xingzhou to be a little bit in front of big right and wrong. Bold.

On the second day, Qing Fei replied that the key to the granary was in the secret compartment of his study. As for the secret compartment, he said that he really couldn't find out, but it was good enough to find out these things. Chen Xingzhou immediately gave 100 taels Zhou Qingyou, who came over to pass on the message, asked him to transfer the money to Qingfei.

When Zhou Qingyou sent the message, Chen Xingzhou and Baigan were both present, both in Tianxiang Tower, so after Zhou Qingyou left, Baigan immediately took action.

On the afternoon of the second day, Baigan successfully got the key to the granary, and everything was ready, only the time for disclosure remained.

Due to preparations, Chen Xingzhou didn't come to the store for two days, and Yuan Bao took the key to open the door. Today is the third day, and Chen Xingzhou showed up for the first time.

And what Chen Xingzhou expected was right, Qiao Qi did use bitter tricks, his eyes had turned black and purple, his face was swollen badly, his arms were still hanging, and he knew that he had been beaten a lot.

Chen Xingzhou was very sorry and concerned at the time, "Qiao Qi, I wronged you. I am really sorry for making you suffer that day. To be honest, I also got hurt after I ran out of the granary that day, so I have been recuperating at home, We won’t be able to go to the fields until today.” Qiao Qi didn’t know anything about the granary, so Chen Xingzhou used lies to cover up his knowledge.

"Boss, it's okay. Fortunately, someone I knew helped me that day, so I was able to sneak out."

"This Li Shiduo is simply too much. I will definitely not let him go. I will visit the granary again tonight. This time, I will teach them a lesson and avenge you."

After Chen Xingzhou finished speaking, he carefully observed Qiao Qi's micro-expression, and saw that the other party's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised upwards in an imperceptible way, "Boss, thank you for your great kindness, I will never forget it in my life." However, the tone of his words was very excited , as if really grateful to him.

"Why are you polite, you are my buddy, you can't be bullied casually, it's like slapping me in the face."

Qiao Qi was so moved by the last sentence that tears came to his eyes. His acting was so good that Chen Xingzhou wanted to present him with the Best Supporting Actor Award.

The fish have taken the bait, let's add some food to their food tonight, let's go to the Li family's granary, and see how he opens the grain store?How to gain a foothold in Shanshui Town?
