Chapter 42: The Mysterious Old Man
Two days later, Xin Yue and his entourage finally arrived in Luoyang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother Bing, we came to Luoyang with our family." Outside the city, a group of people were interrogated by officers and soldiers, "You don't know, those bandits are too hateful, they will kill people when they see them, if we don't cleverly copy the path, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Luoyang City." ”
"I must go up to the emperor and make the decision for me, and I must send troops to kill all those bandits."
"What, Brother Bing, how can you doubt us, we came to Luoyang in order to escape from the bandits, just to thank the emperor for his wisdom and want to seek refuge in Luoyang, how can we collude with those bandits?"
"And the emperor is wise and powerful, which bandit dares to run to the feet of the Son of Heaven!"
……
To put it mildly, Xin Yue gave full play to the method of "winning sympathy with tears" that he learned in the TV series in his previous life, and it seems to be true, if Guo Jia and others didn't know the real situation, I'm afraid they would have to believe it.
Xin Yue cried again, and then quietly stuffed a tael of silver into the hands of the city guard, and whispered: "Brother Bing, this is to buy candy for the child to eat, when I see Brother Bing today, I feel that we are destined, it must be a brother who was separated in the previous life, I have nothing to prepare for the younger brother, I can only prepare some money to buy sugar for the eldest brother and child, it can be regarded as a little heart of the uncle, just let it be!" ”
Well, where do people in this era know so many Taos, the city guard was stunned by Xin Yue's three or two sentences, and wondered how Xin Yue knew that I had children at home? Of course, that's a tael of silver! I have been guarding in front of this city gate for a few years, so I quickly put it away quietly, and said:
"Why do I feel so close to my brother, I know that we must have been brothers in our previous lives, and sure enough, brother, you must not be wrong to feel this way......"
Forehead...... Now it's Xin Yue's turn to be dumbfounded, how do you feel sharper than me, I was stunned just now, but now when I saw the money, I immediately became so smart and clever. Who was a brother with you in your previous life, I still remember my past life clearly, but there is no one like you. It is said that money can make ghosts grind, but I didn't expect that money can also increase people's IQ!
"Yes, yes, brother!" Xin Yue came back to his senses and hurriedly put his arm around the city guard's shoulders and said loudly, "Poor, our family was homeless by robbers, and now we don't even have a place to live, I don't know if you have any acquaintances, brother, can you help us contact the official who manages the house?" ”
"Brother, your business is my business." The city guard hurriedly called a soldier to put him in his place, and then said to Xin Yue, "Brother, now I will take you to find a place to live." ”
Now Xin Yue, Guo Jia, and Xu Chu couldn't help but play each other, what's going on? Why did it change so much? And will the city guards leave their posts at any time like this? Xin Yue couldn't help but give Guo Jia a look at them, there must be a demon when things go wrong!
Xin Yue arranged for Wuda to take people to find a secluded place to rest first, and waited for Xin Yue to find a place to live.
Xin Yue took Guo Jiaxu Chu to follow the city guard to find the official who managed the house, on the way, the city guard introduced himself to Xin Yue, it turned out that this city guard is not an ordinary city guard, called He Li, and the current general He Jin is also a family relationship, but well, this relationship is far away, He Jin is afraid that he will not look at him, but there is a relationship is a relationship, He Jin will not recognize, it does not mean that the underground people will not recognize it. So He Li, who has this relationship, has a position at the city gate, but he often does such things as leaving his post without permission.
Of course, it is often that you want to tip or something, and Xin Yue just made a move for one or two silver, so happy. So I heard that Xin Yue is looking for a house, and there are a lot of people in Xin Yue, so it must be a big business, so of course I want to get some discounts or something!
Xin Yue, who knew the situation, couldn't help but glance at his lips, he didn't expect to meet such a person. Of course, Xin Yue is also happy to meet such a person, otherwise I'm afraid things won't be so simple.
He Li took Xin Yue and them to an alley, which was a small house with a bit of official style, and it seemed that the people who lived here were the people who managed the sale of houses.
"Old man Wang, come out quickly, big business is coming!" Before entering the door, He Li shouted loudly inside, and I am afraid that the sound can be heard from a few streets away.
Xin Yue couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat when he heard it, how did he feel like he was pimping!
Looking at Guo Jia and Xu Chu, the two of them also looked unnatural, it seems that this is not to blame Xin Yue for being impure, but He Li is too much.
"Where? Where are the people? ”
There was a relatively old voice inside, fortunately it was not an aunt's voice, Xin Yue secretly celebrated in his heart, otherwise, if he didn't think of it, he could only say that Xin Yue was pretending to be pure.
As soon as the words fell, an old man with a beard and a belt came out of it, and his clothes were not buttoned, this situation, seeing Xin Yue Guo Jia and they couldn't help but look at each other a few times, with a sigh in their eyes.
He Li next to "Forehead ......" was also a little embarrassed, "Brother, don't mind, this old man just sleeps all day long, that's why he looks like this, don't think about it." ”
As he spoke, he glared at the old man in front of him, and his eyes clearly conveyed: Don't make my business yellow.
But the old man still looked like he didn't see it, and came to Xin Yue and the three of them by himself, looking at Xin Yue and them fixedly, how did that look a little like seeing a beautiful woman?
Xin Yue couldn't help but take a step back, and Shi Li said: "Boy Xin Yue, I came to Luoyang with my family in distress and wanted to find a house, so I came here under the leadership of Brother He, and I troubled the old man!" ”
Don't blame Xin Yue for calling the old man "old man" mainly because Xin Yue realized that the old man didn't seem to be an official at this time, but he couldn't figure out why the old man was here, so he could only call it that.
The old man didn't seem to have any reaction to Xin Yue's title, and just let everyone into the house.
"I said, old man, what is the big house recently, hurry up and find it for my brother!" As soon as he entered the door, He Li said loudly, he didn't look like he had to respect the old man at all, and it seemed that such a thing had not been done once or twice, "Don't care about the price, my brother has money." ”
This is ......!
Xin Yue couldn't help touching his nose in the back, the front felt fine, but why did he add the latter sentence? Is this a guy I have so much money to spend? Or do you want to catch a little more? Xin Yue couldn't help but think.
"Hmph, what kind of house I don't have here?" The old man snorted coldly.
Looking at the old man's appearance, how did Xin Yue feel that this old man was so much like a real estate practitioner in his previous life!
"Yes, yes, then take it out quickly, are you afraid that my brother won't be able to pay?" He Li said loudly on the side.
The old man did not reply, but went to the back of the house, apparently to get the deed or something.
"Brother He, why don't you ask the price, what if I can't afford it?" After the old man left, Xin Yue couldn't help but complain and said to He Li.
"I believe in you, brother!" He Li looked like I believe you, and Xin Yue was speechless, this is not for you to pay, of course it doesn't matter. However, Xin Yue is not very clear about the housing prices in this era, so he won't say much, so he can only think about other things after reading the prices.
After a while, the old man came out with a dozen deeds.
"This is all recently vacated, this is the mansion left behind after the original ×× committed a crime and was raided by the emperor, this is the ×× vacated after being exiled......"
Xin Yue listened to it, why did he feel so awkward, either his house was raided, or he was exiled or something.
"Haha, brother, don't mind, the larger mansions in Luoyang City are all inhabited by court officials, if you want to find a big mansion with no one, only these people who have been beheaded by the emperor or exiled will vacate the house, so ......"
After hearing this, Xin Yue also understood, although there are many houses in Luoyang, there are many large families, and there are many court officials, and there are basically already people, and if you want to find a better house at this time, only these masters are either raided or beheaded! Looking at the thick dozen in the old man's hand, Xin Yue couldn't help muttering, each of these is an official or something, it seems that this Luoyang City is really ......
The eunuch is in charge, and the loyal minister has no way!
But Xin Yue can't do anything about these things, even if he sympathizes with those framed officials, what about them, those are just a group of poor people, but the people of the world are not happy, there are more pitiful people than them, Xin Yue will not put them in front because they are officials, in Xin Yue's eyes, they are just ordinary people.
"Okay, let's just this mansion, the scenery inside is good, so let's do it!" Xin Yue finally picked a mansion and said.
"Alas, brother, don't, if you want to pick, pick the biggest one!"
"Do you really think I have nowhere to spend my money? So many of us have just come to Luoyang, and there are still many places to use money. Xin Yue couldn't help but glance at He Li, this guy is really insatiable.
After completing the formalities, Xin Yue took Guo Jia and Xu Chu and hurried back to find Wuda and them, after all, he had just come to Luoyang, so he still had to be careful, and if he didn't look at it, Xin Yue was really afraid that someone would accidentally get into trouble.
On the other side, watching Xin Yue and them disappear at the end of the alley, the disheveled old man suddenly straightened his waist, revealing a kind of friendly temperament all over his body, if Xin Yue was here, he would definitely be able to feel that this was the same temperament as Sima Wei and others, Xin Yue must be shocked when he saw it, because this person can control the temperament on his body freely, which is more profound than Sima Wei Pang Degong and others.
Although Xin Yue felt that the old man should not be a simple character when he saw the old man just now, he would never have thought that the old man was actually a person who cultivated his temperament and controlled it more freely.
"This young man is not simple! Well, the two people around him are both literate and martial, both of whom are great talents in the world, and he, who is a talented man in civil and military affairs, is the only one in the world! ”
Looking at Xin Yue's back, the old man muttered to himself.
