There is an inn that is much larger than the Yuelai Inn, and although there are not many vacant rooms, there are still some.

That night, they asked for a table of exquisite meals, and the two uncles and nephews had a happy meal.

Then, he forced Lingyue to take a bath.

Rest for the night.

Early the next morning, Su Jing and Ling Yue had already gotten up.

After a night's rest, the two of them at this time have lost the hardships of the long journey and become energetic again.

And after thinking about it this night, Su Jing had already thought about what to do next.

Chang'an City is vast, and it is no less difficult to find someone you don't know from it than to ascend to the sky, but fortunately, you still know a name...... It's not like it's all clueless.

"There are some underground organizations in every place, which belong to the head snake of the land, which is not powerful, but it is difficult to entangle, and they may not have the ability to kill and fight, but if they talk about finding people or finding out any information, they are absolutely well-informed, which is not comparable to ordinary people."

Su Jing sat in the hall drinking millet porridge, looking at the bustling crowd outside, and said: "The two of us are not familiar with each other, and our eyes are almost black, and the first thing to do now is to find a place to settle down, and find a way to meet these local snakes, and it doesn't matter if you make some money." ”

Ling Yue is different from Su Jing, she is not happy with meat, holding a meat bun and gnawing Zhengxiang, she asked, "Then should we find someone first, or settle down first?" ”

"Settle down, of course."

Su Jing touched his waist bag a little painfully, and said, "I know the sinister intentions of the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn, and the price of this inn is too high, and it cost us ten taels of silver in one night...... In such a high-end place, if you stay for a few more days, I am afraid that I will live in a house directly, no wonder so many people in Datang are still empty here, and I feel that this is the presidential suite. ”

"Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... It's just a casual sigh. ”

Su Jingdao: "If you live here again, even if you don't spend money on a daily basis, I'm afraid that the money on your body won't last too long, so I hate big cities, and the consumption is too high!" Let's eat, let's go out and have a look. ”

"Hmm."

Ling Yue obediently ate the pickles that Su Jing had brought over, and she was afraid of the days of not being hungry in the past, so that she now has an indescribable attachment to not wasting food.

The uncle and nephew finished their meal and came out.

Yesterday was in a hurry, anxious to find a place to stay, and did not have time to take a closer look, there was no clear purpose in today, the two of them had time to observe the surroundings, and then they found out......

The small shops are not obvious, but the big ones are already lit up early, and it seems that the whole street is bustling!

And between the pedestrians, one by one is even more talking and laughing, and the most talked about is their emperor's birthday...... All the mouths and faces are full of love!

"It seems that this emperor is quite loved."

Su Jing whispered to Ling Yue.

Ling Yue nodded, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sentence above her head!

"Hmph, what a bullshit birthday, the age is obviously not too old, but you still learn what life those old people have, it's just ......"

Suddenly.

On the restaurant, near the window on the second floor, a young man in a gorgeous dress with a proud look on his face complained dissatisfiedly: "Do you really think that if you win the hearts of the people in the world, you can sit firmly in the world?" You must know this world, but the world of five surnames and seven hopes! ”

"Silence, don't be presumptuous!"

Someone next to him immediately scolded him.

Su Jing raised his eyebrows, and only then did he notice that this was really an interesting scene, it seemed that those who praised the emperor were all some civilians in coarse cloth clothes, and those who had disgruntled looks in their eyes were mostly the sons of powerful people in gorgeous clothes and brocades.

Except for the one who spoke wildly just now, most of the richly dressed people, looking at their expressions, seemed to be disapproving of the so-called birthday celebration this time.

"This emperor is very interesting, looking at this state, he should want to attack the powerful and support the commoners, right? It's a generation of Mingjun, I don't know who it is? Li Shimin? Or ......"

Although it was just a detail, Su Jing, who had watched too many historical dramas in his previous life, immediately figured out the joints.

Su Jing asked, "Lingyue, do you know what this emperor's name is?" ”

Ling Yue shook her head and said, "I don't know either...... Or, uncle, I'll help you ask? ”

"I don't know, forget it, anyway, this matter is too far away from us, I can't do it, why bother?"

Su Jingxin said that it is better to take care of his own one-third of an acre.

At the moment, lead Lingyue to the remote West City!

Dongcheng is so prosperous that you don't even need to ask and can't afford it...... Xicheng is more desolate, and it should be barely possible.

Sure enough, when I arrived in the West City, it was immediately much inferior to the prosperity of the East City.

There are fewer pedestrians talking about national affairs, and there are more people discussing household affairs, and there are more people who are crowded and crowded, and someone passes by from time to time, Su Jing frowned, and immediately protected Ling Yue with his body, preventing those pedestrians from squeezing him.

The level of the house courtyard has been reduced a lot, there is less prosperity, red bricks and green tiles, and more of the warmth of home.

Su Jing took Ling Yue and finally squeezed out of the crowd.

After walking around the streets and alleys, I found a few houses to sell, some of whom urgently needed money because of their family illnesses, some because of family migration, and some because of gambling debts......

Looked at a few.

Both of them took a fancy to a good courtyard house.

The location is acceptable, not too far from the east city, the backyard is near the lake, there are more weak willows, and the courtyard is planted with small flowers and grasses, which seems to be particularly warm......

If it is the original price, I am afraid that it may not be able to take down three thousand taels!

The person who sold this courtyard was a shrewd man with a thin face, who asked for 1,500 taels and demanded that he must pay cash.

Although Ling Yue is young, she is better at human sophistication than Su Jing, and seeing that this man does not match this elegant courtyard at all, she is already confused in her heart.

I quietly went out for a turn, and I have already inquired clearly.

It turned out that this man was also an honest and capable man when he was young, and he worked in an old rich family for a few years, and somehow got the attention of the eldest lady of the old rich family...... The two quietly hooked up.

Lao Cai was angry, but he felt sorry for his daughter's poor health, and it was rare to meet a lover, so he had no choice but to recruit this person as his son-in-law.

It's just that this man was honest before, but once he had money, he immediately revealed his true form, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and ignored his wife at home.

As soon as the pillars were gone, the family business was unattended, and Wanguan's family property could not withstand the cost of Chang'an City...... In just two years, all the assets have been sold clean, this courtyard is the ancestral house of the old rich family, and it is also the last residence of the husband and wife, everything here, it is said that the eldest lady is serving, but unfortunately, two months ago, the eldest lady was emaciated, and finally died in Huangquan!

And this man owes a huge amount of gambling debts, and if he doesn't sell his house, he will be chopped up.

In just a short period of time, Ling Yue figured out the origin of this man, and then whispered in Su Jing's ear.

Su Jing suddenly realized that his heart had already understood...... Anyway, it's not that the origin is not correct, this man is capable enough, but the son-in-law turned over and sold the house, although others couldn't see it, they couldn't say anything.

At the moment, he simply said: "Okay! 1,500 taels, I'll give you cash, and you give me a note immediately! ”

The man saw that Su Jing didn't even bargain, so he hesitated and said, "This...... I suddenly felt that 1,500 taels was less, or ...... One thousand eight hundred taels? ”

Su Jing smiled and stretched out his hand to caress the small flower wall made of blue bricks in the courtyard.

A green brick was shattered so silently.

Man: ".............................."

Su Jing smiled and said, "I suddenly feel that one thousand five hundred taels is too much, or one thousand four hundred taels?" ”

"This, this, this...... If you like it, it's fine. ”

The man suddenly laughed.

Su Jing turned around and said, "Lingyue, pay for it!" ”

Ling Yue nodded, reached out and groped around her waist, ready to take the money......

After a moment, her movements froze.

Su Jing was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"Uncle ......"

Ling Yue raised her head, with a crying look in her eyes, and looked at Su Jingdao: "All the money on us has been stolen. ”

Su Jing: "......................................................"
