Chapter 144: There are many good people, and there are also bad people
Chapter 144 There are many good people, and there are also bad people
After leaving a teahouse on the edge of Lishui Lake, Jiechen searched the street to find out where there was a house to live in, but because during the enrollment competition, all the unscrupulous merchants raised the price and raised the price by one to three percent, and the corner of Jiechen's mouth twitched.
In fact, even if the price does not rise, with Jiechen, who can buy dozens of cups of tea and a little snack, he can't afford to live in any room in any inn near Lishui Lake and in a prosperous area.
Just as Jiechen leaned against the gate of a certain street, not knowing where to land, a short, middle-aged man with a passionate smile came up and tried to grab Jiechen's arm with both hands, and the latter took a few steps backwards with vigilance and a little start.
Seeing Jieji take a few steps back, the middle-aged man also stopped, but he still had a smile on his face, his outstretched hands did not take it back, and he maintained that posture and said: "Young man, is there no place to live? β
These people are known as solicitors, and they usually wander around the bustling areas of the imperial city, looking for newcomers who don't have much money and can't afford to live in good inns.
As for why they solicit customers, because the residences provided by these solicitors are all in remote places, and they are also mixed places, even if they are not easy to find, they can only rely on soliciting customers to maintain business.
Jie Zhen had a vigilant look on his face and didn't speak, the solicitor had been pulling customers for so many years, and naturally knew the thoughts of the person being pulled, which was nothing more than that he couldn't trust a stranger casually, and the key was a passionate stranger.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, this sentence has been verified thousands of times, and it is naturally firmly remembered by people.
"Little brother, don't be afraid that I will lie to you, in this way, you go with me to see the residence, and then we will decide whether to live or not, my brother will compare hearts with you, the place where you live is a little remote, and the environment is not very good, but the price is absolutely fair and cheap, how about it?"
"Little brother, I see that you are also here to participate in the enrollment competition, if you don't have a good rest, it's not a thing, if it affects the combat power, it's a pity, isn't it? The residence we provide must be fair, this is the place of His Majesty's personal control, and we small people don't dare to be presumptuous, do some things that are cheating and cheating, do you say?" The middle-aged solicitor spoke at length, trying to persuade Jieji.
The place where Jie Scar thought to himself was indeed a problem, and he really needed a small place to consolidate his cultivation, otherwise it was okay for Jie Scar to wander in the imperial city for three days, but Jie Scar didn't know how long the enrollment competition would last, so he nodded to the middle-aged man and agreed.
The middle-aged man's face was happy, and he wanted to grab Jieji's arm, but Jiechen dodged again and said, "You lead the way in front, and I will follow you." β
"This kid is cautious, I can't help you when I get to the place, if you spend some money to live well, if you don't, hehe, you can't even participate in the admissions competition. "The middle-aged man is dirty and calculating in his heart, but he still has a harmless smile on the surface, which is really unpredictable.
There are many good people in the world, and there are still bad people.
The middle-aged man walked through the streets with the scars, and came to a street with less traffic, and a carriage was parked on the side, and there was a man in his thirties with a cotton hat on the carriage, obviously a coachman, and the middle-aged man who saw the solicitation came with the scars, and didn't say anything, he should be used to it.
The middle-aged man who solicited customers nodded to the coachman, and some words were not spoken, and said, "Take him to the residential area, and I will continue to solicit customers here." β
Then he turned to Jie Zhen and said: "This person will take you to the place where you live, and you can pay the money when the time comes, and I will continue to solicit customers, so I will not go with you." The middle-aged man finished speaking and left.
Jie Zhen heard something wrong in these words, and it seemed that under the arrangement of the middle-aged man, he had agreed to live in his house.
The coachman looked at the scars expressionlessly, in fact, it used to be like this, the solicitor solicited the customer, said a few words and the guest will be led by the nose, get into the carriage to the residential area, after arriving whether to rent it is another matter, whether it is willing or forced to buy and sell, it depends on the guest himself, anyway, there will be no business you want to want, don't want it.
According to these people's thinking, buying and selling does not lead to benevolence, but what is the value of benevolence and righteousness? It only makes sense to have a coin with a weight in the hand and make a jingling sound.
In the end, Jie Zhen still got into the carriage, and he still believed what the middle-aged man said just now, this is the city where Emperor Tianwu is seated, and there will be no dirty deeds of abduction and deception. In fact, it is still naΓ―ve, where it is dark under the lights, there are too many imperial cities that cover a huge area.
Jetmark climbed into the carriage and sat inside, and the expressionless coachman struck the horse's buttocks with a whip, and the carriage began to move, and after about two quarters of an hour the carriage arrived.
Jiechen lifted the veil, got out of the carriage, looked around, and felt like entering a slum, the houses were neatly arranged, but a little dilapidated, here is still all land, there is no stone brick paving, there are some vegetables on the ground, and there are some weeds, showing desolation.
There are women washing vegetables under the house, children playing together, and some old people, maybe this is a slum.
Jie Scar looked around, no other expression, his expression was calm, and the groom jumped out of the carriage, said follow me, and walked inside.
There are four houses, each with six floors, each divided into four rooms, divided into inside and outside, surrounded by a wall, with entrances and exits, but no gates.
Jetmark followed the coachman inside, and when the carriage entered, the two men sitting in chairs at the door had already begun to cheer up, and would intercept Jetmark as soon as he was about to leave the place.
These two men are both people in the forging stage of the Cangsheng Realm, and the number of forging is not important, they are all forging their bodies casually, and five or six times are not as good as others' once, only looking at the outside and not the inside.
The coachman took the scars to a house on the first floor, there was an old man with white hair, in fact, he was a poor man, his son was killed for gambling, his wife committed suicide by hanging herself from grief, and the people of the casino took people to his house to loot his belongings, and found that the old man was a bookkeeper when he was young, so he caught the old man to come to this residential area to settle accounts and work to pay off debts.
In the house, the old man who was originally sitting on a chair with his eyes closed saw that the coachman brought people in, and hurriedly got up to greet him, but the coachman was still expressionless, waved his hand, and said: "Register him, and the house will be allocated when the money is paid." β
"This kid is quite cooperative, I thought it would be a tricky product, but I didn't expect it to be a coward, but I also saved some effort and saved it for the evening when I visited the kiln. The coachman sneered inwardly, his face expressionless.
In fact, Jiechen has already seen one or two, but this transaction looks okay, taking a dilapidated house for rent, Jiechen is still acceptable, it is not the species of a noble family, and even the mountains and fields can sleep peacefully, not to mention this kind of house that still looks decent.
If Jie Scar wanted to leave, with the coachman and the two janitors at the door, plus a dozen people from the Tiger Gang across the street, they would not be able to stop him, at most Jie Scar would exchange his injuries for a dozen lives.
The procedure went quickly, Jiechen paid the money, and the old man gave the key, telling him where the house was, which building, which floor, and which room was finished.
The money was spent directly, and it was rented for three days, just enough to rent the first level of the admissions competition, and then we will find a way.
Seeing that Jie Jing obediently paid the money, the coachman had no need to stay, and walked out of the house. Jie Scar looked calm and didn't feel at a loss, as long as these people didn't do anything excessive, everyone would be okay with each other.
Taking the key, Jetmark also walked out to find his room.
