Chapter 331: The House of Strange Spirits
With the help of Lingyun, Zhang Fan and the girls temporarily lived in the Nujiao City Embassy's Mansion.
However, living in the embassy was not a long-term solution, so Zhang Fan began to prepare his plan for the construction of Qianjiao Courtyard the next day.
Today's Zhang Fan is not short of money, so he plans to expand it several times on the basis of the original plan to build.
Early the next morning, he took Su Yao and Lingyun to the land exchange.
The land exchange was established by the Wangcheng City Lord's Mansion and was under the jurisdiction of the Nuwa City Assistant.
Every once in a while, the Chengfu Institute will announce a batch of land transactions in advance. These plots are either newly developed or recycled.
In short, anyone who wants to buy land in Nuwa City must spend a lot of money to buy a piece of land of their own here.
The Land Exchange is a tower with nine floors.
The lower six floors are a trading place for small plots. The transactions here are usually ordinary residential houses.
The middle two floors are a trading place for medium-sized land. Larger shops such as inns, taverns, inns, green houses, and so on are traded here.
As for the top floor, it is naturally a trading place for large land plots. The transactions here are all large establishments.
For example, markets, workshops, pastures, etc.
Zhang Fan wants a good piece of land, so he needs to go to the top layer to see.
"This is the best card that Liyin has prepared for us, let's go to the exchange above and take a look. ”
Ling Yun took out three black stone tablets and handed them to Zhang Fan and Su Yao, and the stone tablets had a word written on them.
Then they took the stone shard and went to the top layer. After entering the top floor, a small meeting room appeared in front of them.
On the wall, there are nine drawings, all of which are topographical maps and brief descriptions, as well as the selling price.
These nine drawings are obviously nine large-scale trading plots.
The person in charge was a slightly chubby female official, she was dressed in red, and on the arms of her clothes, two snakes were embroidered.
This is the second snake official of the Chengfu Academy.
Zhang Fan knew that in Nuwa City, the more snakes embroidered on the official uniforms he wore, the higher his official position. On the official mansion of Lord Josuke, there are nine snakes, so it is also called the Nine Snake Official.
Under the guidance of this second snake official, Zhang Fan and the others began to choose among these nine pieces of land.
"I don't know which lot you want, or what special territory do you want?" the two snake officials asked Zhang Fan.
In Nuwa City, women are respected, so here Zhang Fan basically has no part to speak, and the power of discourse is handed over to Su Yao and Lingyun.
"The location doesn't need to be too prosperous, and the terrain is preferably simple, not too complicated, and close to the main road, or the city gate. Do you have anything else to add?" Ling Yun finished speaking, looking at Su Yao and Zhang Fan.
"A ready-made mansion is the best!" Su Yao added, and Zhang Fan nodded from the side.
"Then add one, there is a ready-made house. Lingyun said to the two snake officials.
After hearing this, the second snake official thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, and he said, "There really is such a territory. ”
As she spoke, she led Zhang Fan and them to one of the picture scrolls.
On the scroll, there is a square plot of land with a mansion on it, near the main road, and near the west gate.
"What do you think of the land?" the female officer said to Ling Yun and the others.
Lingyun and Su Yao naturally couldn't decide, they were just Zhang Fan's spokespeople, and it was Zhang Fan who made the final decision.
Zhang Fan glanced at the piece of land, thought for a moment, and shook his head slightly.
Then, his gaze fell on a picture scroll next to him.
On the scroll, there is a convex plot of land, which occupies a huge area, and it is more than enough to build a huge mansion.
The first time Zhang Fan saw the land, he fell in love with it, so he nodded slightly to Lingyun, signaling that Lingyun could buy it.
"Very good, I fell in love with this land, sell it to us!" Lingyun said bluntly.
After hearing this, the second snake official frowned and looked at Ling Yun, and then said secretly: "My lord, do you really want to buy this land?"
These are all insiders, obviously the Liyin has explained, so this second snake official recognizes Lingyun.
After Lingyun heard this, he smiled and said, "What, there is a problem with this land?"
The female officer nodded and said, "That's right, this land is causing strange spirits!"
"Alien spirits?" Ling Yun frowned.
"That's right, this land used to be the territory of a family in our Nuwa City who specialized in making dolls. Their family's puppet business is all over the country, and they can be regarded as a well-known rich man in our Nuwa City. ”
When the female officer said this, Lingyun frowned.
"Nuwa City's puppet family, could it be the 'Wind Spirit Puppet' family?"
Lingyun seemed to have heard something.
The female officer nodded again and again, "That's right, it's the Wind Spirit Doll Family." Adults must have heard of it!"
Ling Yun nodded and said, "Their puppets are indeed very powerful, to the point of being fake. The top-of-the-line wind spirit puppets are free to move around just like real people. It can even replace human work. ”
Zhang Fan listened inexplicably next to him, is it possible for such a powerful puppet?
"It's possible, the Great Grandmaster of the Divine Soul Department can give inanimate objects to souls. Su Yao seemed to hear Zhang Fan's heart, so she said to Zhang Fan.
"Divine Soul Grand Master?"
Zhang Fan frowned, he had basically seen all the witchcraft departments, and he had really never seen a wizard of the Divine Soul Department. But as soon as I heard the name, I knew that this divine soul wizard was very powerful.
"I've heard that fifty years ago, the Wind Spirit Doll disappeared from the world, including that family, and its life also disappeared. The reason is because ......"
"They were slaughtered by the dolls they had made themselves. The female officer continued Lingyun's words.
"Is this true?" Lingyun asked.
The female officer nodded and replied, "Yes, it's true, this case was solved fifty years ago." ”
"It is rumored that when people rushed to the house, there were corpses all over the place, and everyone was dead. In the courtyard, the female guards saw a puppet holding a fierce sword, and the sword in her hand was stained with blood. It was she who slaughtered everyone in the Feng family. ”
When they heard this, everyone couldn't help but feel creepy.
How fantastical it sounds to puppets kill people, and slaughter entire families.
"It seems that the rumors are true, but what does this have to do with us buying this land? Don't you say it all, it was fifty years ago, and the case has been solved, what kind of strange spirits?"
Lingyun asked.
When the lady heard this, she whispered to them, "Your Excellency, you don't know anything. ”
"In fact, this land was just put up for sale not long ago. After all, that happened back then, and this land was sealed in dust for fifty years. ”
The day after the results came out, he was favored by a rich man of the Salt Gang. ”
"The rich man took a fancy to this land and wanted to build it into the head of his salt gang in Nuwa City. ”
"Guess what!" said the female officer, looking at Lingyun.
"What's the matter?" Lingyun asked.
When the rich man entered the mansion with his men, all his men died, except for the rich man. ”
And the rich man went mad. ”
