Chapter 224: Stay calm
After one stick of incense, the inventory of assets is completed.
Gu Chan was extremely angry.
After the fire, all the furniture and wood she bought before were scrapped, and all the clothes and fabrics she bought after coming here were also burned.
Now the only assets they have left are a dozen carriages parked outside, a box of medicinal herbs rescued from the fire, and only one thousand taels of silver left.
And now there are more than fifty people standing here, which has more than fifty mouths, and they need to eat every day. Fortunately, Shen Sanfeng will send her fifty thousand taels of silver tomorrow, otherwise, in the following days, They simply don't know how to live.
Gu Chan looked at the sad people, forced a smile and said, "Okay everyone, don't be sad anymore. Now let's surround a dozen carriages and create an open space. Tonight we will temporarily use the sky as a blanket. Use the ground as your bed and rest well until your godfather brings you the money tomorrow."
"Where are we going to settle down after that?"
"Yes! This place has been burned down to this point. It's not cost-effective to build a new building!"
"Fifty thousand taels of silver can't buy a good building in Zhongyuan City, where every inch of land is precious."
Everyone said worriedly one after another.
Gu Chan thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, the fastest way to settle down at the moment is to go to the commercial street in the refugee area, buy a building, and then make some repairs and hang up the sign of the medical clinic first. Say it again.”
"I agree. After all, the flow of people over there is larger, and there are many shops there. Even if the thieves want to harm us again, they will not dare to set fire to it again. Otherwise, once the entire commercial street in the refugee area is burned down, the government will have to Intervene." Zhou Dachuan nodded in agreement.
Seeing that both of them had said this, everyone nodded in agreement.
After that, everyone followed Gu Chan's instructions and brought a dozen carriages to form a circle, creating an open space in the middle, and then lay down to rest.
Gu Chan pulled Zhou Dachuan, Ma Zheng, and Ouyang Wan'er aside, and the four of them sat cross-legged and discussed secretly.
Ma Zheng said with anger on his face, "Boss, in my opinion, this was probably done by Scar and his friends. Didn't you deal with them before? You even drove them out of Zhongyuan City. It's very possible that they wanted to take revenge on you before they left. So he set fire to it and ran away."
"Yes, I think it's them too."
"Only these gangsters have such courage."
Zhou Dachuan and Ouyang Wan'er also agreed with Ma Zheng's point of view.
Gu Chan shook his head and sneered, "It can't be them. Scar knows my temper, and I let him go before, and he also promised to leave with his brothers, and they left at that time. I'm sure of this."
"You didn't follow them, how can you be sure?" Ma Zheng said.
Gu Chan just smiled and did not explain.
Ever since what happened in Wuheng County on the border, she had already become more cautious. When Dao Scar and the others left, she secretly sent Snake Baby Search Dog to follow them quietly, but she didn't tell Ma Zheng.
So based on the news brought back by Snake Baby's search dog, she was sure that Scar and others had left the city and were not allowed to come back and burn down her hospital.
Seeing Gu Chan's determined look, Zhou Dachuan asked curiously, "Then who do you think secretly sent people to burn down our medical clinic?" "Besides the fact that I have offended Dao Scar and others, I have only offended the Central Plains when I came here. The Xu family, one of the three largest families in the city, is the eldest son of Renjie. My Mickey killed his mysterious beast at the Liu family's mysterious beast competition and he had always held a grudge against it, so he is the most suspected of committing the crime. "Yes." Gu Chan analyzed quietly.
"That's true, but it's a pity that we have no evidence! Otherwise, we could have reported him to the police." Zhou Dachuan sighed.
Gu Chan laughed disdainfully.
Zhou Dachuan asked, "Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"
"With a power like the Xu family, do you think it's useful to report him to the police? To deal with this kind of bullshit, you must have ruthless means." Gu Chan said through gritted teeth.
Ouyang Wan'er had an idea, "How about this? Sneak into the Xu Mansion to investigate and see if it was really he who sent someone to do it. If so, we will treat him as he is and burn his Xu Mansion." , This is both revenge and relief.”
"There's no rush, we have to wait until he compensates us for revenge." Gu Chan smiled lightly.
Zhou Dachuan and the three of them fell silent. The key was that they couldn't understand. If Xu Renjie really harmed them, how could he compensate them?
Gu Chan’s statement is somewhat whimsical.
Gu Chan didn't want to talk any more and just said to the three of them, "Okay, don't worry, everyone, go to bed and recuperate. We will move to the commercial street tomorrow and settle down first. As for this matter, We cannot be in a hurry, we must remember that things will work out slowly, and we must be able to keep our composure.”
"That's right. There's no point in being anxious. Let's rest first!" Ouyang Wan'er said softly.
Then the four of them became quiet and each found a place to lie down and rest.
That night, everyone did not sleep well, and Gu Chan was half asleep. It was not until dawn that everyone got up and packed up, then each got on the carriage and formed a long convoy to rush to the commercial street.
As for the fact that Gu Chan's medical clinic was burned down, after a night of fermentation, everyone in the entire refugee area now knows about it.
Along the way, everyone who met them spoke to comfort them.
Gu Chan pretended that nothing was wrong, smiling all the way to thank everyone for their concern, and also threatened that she was reluctant to change the medical center, but now it was better, the people who burned the medical center also helped her and let her I finally made up my mind to change clinics.
Seeing her looking so happy, everyone stopped talking and thought she was really happy.
On the other side, in Xu Mansion, a wealthy area in the eastern district of Zhongyuan City.
At this time, Renjie, the eldest son of the Xu family, was sitting on a deck chair in the back garden, eating grapes with his legs crossed and humming to himself, feeling very comfortable.
But just when he was happy, one of his subordinates quickly ran to him and said, "Young master, Gu Chan has led her people to the commercial street of the refugee area, and he seemed quite happy along the way. "
"What? The medical center was burned down, and he's still happy?" Xu Renjie immediately sat up and asked with a cold face.
"Yeah! I thought it was strange too, but I hid in the crowd and watched. He was really happy. He also said that she was reluctant to change the hospital, but now she finally did. She was very grateful to the person who set fire to his hospital. , and most importantly, his godfather Shen Sanfeng sent him a box of banknotes on the way, worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!" said his subordinate Bingdao.
Xu Renjie's old face sank in anger, and he smashed the bunch of grapes in his hand to the ground, smashing them to pieces.
