Chapter Ninety-Six: The Turmoil of Buying a House
Wu Yuehe was familiar with the road, and soon came to the front of the original antique store, and saw that there was no one around, so she knocked on the door.
The door opened, and she dodged inside.
As she thought, there were endless quarrels inside, one was the accusation of the failure of this operation, and the other was the sadness of the lost companions, and the third uncle looked at them coldly.
"Senior Brother Wang, didn't you say that it was foolproof? Kill Zhu Gaosui and get back a blood debt for everyone, but Zhu Gaosui is fine, but we have five or six brothers dead. β
Wang Jinghong, who has always been calm, was a little flustered in the face of their questioning, and defended: "We want revenge, how can we not pay, not to mention provoking the fight between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui, causing Zhu Di's suspicions, and their efforts are worth it." β
"Zhu Di doesn't suspect their brothers, but suspects that there is an internal ghost between their brothers, Ni Yun is our biggest informant, and now that he has also died, what hope do we have?" Wu Yuehe walked in and suddenly spoke.
A group of people looked at Wang Jinghong, dissatisfied with his idea.
If Wu Yuehe hadn't come in time this time, they might all have folded into King Zhao's mansion, and if Yuan Bin hadn't released the water, they wouldn't have been able to come back.
"Yuehe, you have been in the palace for two months, do you know Zhu Di so well? How do you know that he will not suspect his son. Wang Jinghong asked.
Wu Yuehe looked at the man in front of her, she was already disappointed, and no longer answered him, but said to the third uncle: "Third uncle, who is our boss?" So many brothers have died, can they be made clear if they die? β
The third uncle's face turned white, the light in the room was very dim, his legs were lame, one high and one low, walked to the candle, picked up a new candle, lit it, and inserted it into the candle that was about to burn out. His movements are very attentive and his expression is very focused.
"Third uncle?" Wu Yuehe called again, except for Wang Jinghong, everyone else turned their eyes to the third uncle.
"You all go out, I'll talk to Yuehe alone." The third uncle motioned to the others in the room.
Although the others were unwilling, the third uncle spoke, but he still left obediently, leaving Wang Jinghong.
"You go out too."
"Third uncle, I-"
The third uncle waved his hand again, Wang Jinghong took a breath, looked at Wu Yuehe a few times, and then reluctantly went out.
"This time, thanks to your arrival in the end, Yuehe, the third uncle always thought that we were strategizing, fishing in troubled waters, and taking revenge, but this time, I am mainly responsible."
"Third Uncleβ"
"As for who's behind it, don't ask."
Wu Yuehe's eyes were red: "Third uncle, the brothers came from Qiongzhou, and they died one by one one without knowing why?" β
The third uncle is usually very strict, but today he was surprisingly gentle and said kindly: "Yuehe, in my heart, I have always regarded you as my own daughter." β
Wu Yuehe's tears flowed out uncontrollably, thinking of the third uncle taking care of everyone and teaching everyone martial arts, like a master and a father.
The third uncle wiped her tears and said slightly: "Silly child, what are you crying about?" He sighed, "You are kind-hearted, it is really not suitable for the day when the tip of the knife licks blood, the palace is very dangerous, the companion is like a tiger, your identity will be exposed sooner or later, take Yuemei with you, and leave quickly." β
Wu Yuehe said: "Third uncle, you, don't you blame me for entering the palace?" β
The third uncle smiled lovingly: "I punished you before, it was for everyone to see, Yuehe, originally I was optimistic about you and Wang Jinghong, this child." β
"Third Uncleβ"
"It's a pity that you have nothing to do with him, I can see that what you like is that Jiangning scholar."
Wu Yuehe was told happy by the third uncle for the first time, and her face turned red.
"Shy, hehe. What do you think you are doing, you can hide it from your third uncle, Chen Yuan's performance in Shizhou is beyond my expectations. Among your children, Jing Hong is the most calm, but he is not open-minded enough to succeed. I'm not worried about you, it's Tsukimi. β
"Yuemei, she knows the severity, not to mention, Zhu Zhan is simple-minded and will not treat her badly."
"No, Zhu Zhan is still young, a member of the royal family, what is there to be simple, after a few years, he is tired of Yuemei and looks for a new love, which is a normal thing. Moreover, the royal family is extremely demanding on women's background. Your background is not an impermeable wall, and once it is found out, the consequences will be unimaginable. β
"So, leave, leave this place of right and wrong, go far, and don't come back."
"Third uncle, what about you?"
The third uncle smiled bitterly, looked at the black roof, and muttered, "We came, and we didn't plan to go back alive." β
ββββ
After Chen Yuan stayed at the inn for one night, he did not return to Jiangning. Zhu Di's personal reward soon came to him, and Tian had already been allocated, just west of the Xuanwu Palace. When he was thinking about renting a house in Xuanwu, King Zhao's reward came again, telling him to look at the house and fall in love with King Zhao's mansion.
Chen Yuan has little interest in official positions, and he is rewarded with beauty in kind. Yuan Bin wore civilian clothes and walked along the street with him to see the house. Yuan Bin took him to Gongyuan Street first, Chen Yuan felt that it was too ostentatious, there were too many people reading in Gongyuan, opposite the Qinhuai River, Chen Yuan liked to keep a low profile, and later came to the clothing gallery and found a sold house.
The owner of this mansion only left an old servant surnamed Tang to guard the door and led Chen Yuan in to take a closer look. But seeing the layout of three rooms and three entrances, the ground masonry is complete and seamed, the wood of the house is still sixty percent new, and the eaves painting building is quite exquisite. I also saw that the trees in the front yard were tall and beautiful, and the backyard was planted with pine and willow flowers and plants around the small pond, which was also a little elegant.
Chen Yuan felt satisfied in his heart, turned back to the gate, and was about to book a house. But six people broke in, and a man in his forties said to Old Servant Tang: "Why are there still outsiders coming in?" β
The old servant replied, "This young man has come to buy a house." β
The man in his forties was very angry, and reprimanded the old servant Cai: "I remember to tell you that before our Dong family makes up our minds, we must not make a price with others!" β
Hearing about the Dong family, Chen Yuan felt curious. Looking at his demeanor, he is very magnanimous, but at the feet of the Xuanwu Emperor, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, it is rare to see such an arrogant person, and I don't know if it is from outside.
Chen Yuan asked, "Do you have to pay a deposit?" β
The man squinted at Chen Yuan: "No matter if you pay it, this house is ours." β
Chen Yuan looked for a house for a long time, and only then did he find such a satisfactory one, and he asked the old servant just now, his family had committed a crime before changing hands, and the price was relatively low. Although it is not his own money, King Zhao's reward should be more important to pay attention to being low-key, and King Zhao has offended many people.
"Buy, sell, you pay the deposit, it's yours, no, it's up to whom."
The man said with a bold face: "The bid is right? We give two hundred and eighty taels. β
Chen Yuan said, they just negotiated with the old servant, as long as the price is two hundred and sixty taels, the other party's opening is two hundred and eight, what is the reason.
"Nonsense, this house, my brother-in-law is as much as he wants, we don't want it." A teenager came out on top.
Chen Yuan was really surprised, this person was actually Dong Mingqing.
"Blind your dog's eyes, put the trick on the bright spot in the future, and know who this is, this is my brother-in-law Chen Yuan." Dong Mingquan scolded them all the time, fortunately he didn't know Yuan Bin's identity, otherwise there would be another shadow in this life.
The man had heard of Chen Yuan a long time ago, but he hadn't seen it, so he said embarrassedly: "Uncle forgive me, I don't know Mount Tai if I have eyes." "Everyone called their brother-in-law, so they had to follow.
Chen Yuan felt helpless about this title, and at the same time was very curious, Dong Ming, this bastard, what did he do when he came to buy a house? is still so swaggering, the previous lesson is too light.
