Chapter 66: Buying a House

The county lord sat on the couch and combed his hair, and heard the laughter and words of Wu Xiaoxiao Yangliuer and Su Bottle outside the window, and at first glance, they seemed to be very familiar.

The voices of the two little goblins were sweet and sweet, and they were excited and enthusiastic, and the county lord frowned when he heard it.

I watched the county lord's face change color.

She endured the pain in her feet, staggered to her feet, limped to the window, poked her head out, and stared downstairs.

It is said that there is a sensible big girl in the family, which is a blessing for the family. That Zhen Ping'er is Miss Six's personal jacket, and she always feels the feelings of the county lord, and knows the warmth and coldness best.

She felt that the performance of the two little girls was a bit excessive, which would inevitably displease the county lord, so she took the two of them away one step ahead. Therefore, when Tang Mei probed out of the window, her slightly hideous face just met Su Bei's gaze.

It is worth mentioning that she is not angry, but her eyes are too large to give people the illusion. It's like the hideous King Kong in the Great Xiangguo Temple, it doesn't say anything, but it gives people a sense of awe.

"Your Excellency, you should pay attention."

"Notice what?"

"I'm worried that your eyeballs will fall out of their sockets."

"Presumptuous! Rude! ”

Su Bottle smiled evilly and left.

Today, Su Bottle has to do two things, one is to look at the house, and the other is to propose to the county lord.

Knowing that Tang Mei would refuse, Su Wei didn't plan to buy any expensive gifts, not to mention that he didn't have any spare money to buy gifts. He just bought two large reclining cabinets, trivial. Tell the matchmaker that the gift has been placed in the cupboard. If the county wants to see the gift, you can just present the gift list and say that the key is in my hand and I forgot to give it to you.

The gifts written on the gift list are all fine items, which look no less than the gifts of the little prince Zhao Lian.

And the matchmaker that Su Bottle is looking for is actually Feng Die's mother, Zhang.

Su Bei said to the little beauty Feng Die, the county lord would not agree anyway, and it would be a waste of money to invite a professional matchmaker. It's better to give this money to your mother, and I won't feel wasted. As soon as she heard this, the little beauty was moved to tears, and she fell to the ground and kowtowed to her uncle.

Five taels of silver is a lot of money for Feng Die.

When he came to the Criminal Department, Su Bottle first went to the waiter's house to "order". The so-called "point" is to meet with the squire to see if there are any instructions. If not, Xue Shilang's love will have to run out by himself and have nothing to do.

Xue Pang took out a stack of files and said that these were all cases about Huang Bingxuan, and handed them all over to Su Bottle, so that Su Bottle could handle as much as he could. If a case within a case is discovered in the course of handling a case, it will be decided by oneself and there is no need to return to everything.

As for the corpses in the small cherry building, the group of suspects who ran away in Jingxingfang, and the group of masked people who suddenly appeared, Xue Shilang didn't care about these things at all. He is now bent on killing Huang Bingxuan, and I really don't know what the two of them have to do.

There are some questions that Xue Pang can not care about, but Su Bottle can't be careless. Especially the masked people, what are they?

Chen Qianyi was mysterious, even if he spit out a word, he wouldn't let Su Bottle be so directionless. But Su Bottle can understand Chen Qianyi, because he is doing some secret missions. He was able to report to Su Bottle, which was already a risk. You have to appreciate it.

At first, Su Bei thought that the group of masked killers was related to the suspects who escaped from Jing Xingfang, but later felt that since Chen Qianyi was involved, it should be related to the emperor. But it must not be the emperor who wants to kill himself, then who will it be?

Su Bei thought about what royal relatives he had offended, so he thought of Zhao Lian, the son of King Qi.

Just because of that meeting, he was going to kill someone?

It feels a bit far-fetched, but I can't find any other reason than this.

Today, Su Ping still went to the Pingkang Fang Fang Office first, asked about the situation of the small cherry wood building, and by the way, got to know the new Fang Cheng.

Just yesterday, the Ministry of Officials has elected a new Fang Cheng, a talent from Daoguangfang Meritorious Street. His name is Zhan Yulin, and he is only sixteen years old. However, this son looks like a talent and is quite educated. Su Bottle looks very pleasing to the eye.

It's just that he's too young to know how he's going to deal with the mess in Pingkangfang.

It is said that it is difficult to be a fang, and this extremely fragrant Pingkang Fang gathers many bigwigs in the performing arts industry, and behind the bigwigs there are royal relatives, gate valves, and consortia.

However, Zhan Yulin's backer is not simple, his grandfather is the Zhongshu Ling Zhan Tuo, who is the chief thinker of the Bandung Emperor's governance.

In the words of my friend Sima Jing: This backing is hard.

In Xu Changqing's words: If I had this backer, I could be the prime minister.

Of course, these two friends of Su Bottle are not too normal people, and they don't listen to half of what they say, so they can't take it seriously.

"There's a storefront shop over there, and it's labeled 'Sell'!"

Now Su Bottle has one hundred and eighty-five taels of silver in his hand, and this money can only buy two small houses in the alley in Pingkangfang. And it was rented by the men who stood on the street. The lives of the people are already difficult, and collecting their rent will make Su Bei feel evil.

Mei Ran became excited when she saw the word "betrayal" hanging in the Chengfeng Teahouse. Looking at her excited appearance, Su Bottle smiled and said with bad intentions:

"If you don't give away the one hundred taels, maybe we can consider the house. But for now, don't think about it. ”

Hearing that Su Bottle meant something, the girl was unhappy, her eyes were cold, and she said angrily: "If you talk like this again, I won't help you rob the dirty money in the future!" ”

Su Bottle said: "If you don't grab it, the money is also an account." And the original owner of the money is not a good thing, why not rob it? Co-authored, the money is right in their hands, and it is wrong when it falls into our hands? ”

"I can't talk about you, but I'm such a person, and I will never spend dirty money!"

Mei Ran stamped away.

Looking at Mei Ran's stubborn back, Su Bottle shook his head.

In fact, counting the one hundred taels of plum dye, they can't afford to buy this Chengfeng Teahouse. It was a two-story faΓ§ade building with two courtyards at the back. The first entrance is the main room, and the second entrance is a high-bay room that can be used as a warehouse. Such a set of commercial noodle shop houses can't be taken down without 1,500 taels.

Just when Su Bei and Mei Ran were about to leave, they saw Qiao Dongcheng, who was called "Second Master Qiao" by the neighbors, walking out of the building, holding a gong in his hand, striking it violently, and shouting: "The house is urgently sold, four hundred taels!" ”

Su Bottle suddenly stood still, and Mei Ran also stood still.

Seeing Su Bottle turn his head to look at himself, Qiao Dongcheng smiled: "It can't be cheaper." ”

Su Bottle walked over, clenched his fists and asked, "Is it a single teahouse?" ”

Qiao Dongcheng sighed: "I want to use the last two as a warehouse." And as for this teahouse, I don't sell it to everyone. ”

Qiao Dongcheng pointed to the plaque and said, "See, our century-old signboard." I have a condition for selling the house, and the person who bought it must continue to run the teahouse. If you can't say yes, don't buy it. I want to write clearly in black and white, if I buy a house and don't run a teahouse, then I will take back this house. ”

Su Bottle smiled bitterly: "No wonder it was sold cheaply, it turned out that after buying it, it was not considered the owner." ”

Qiao Dongcheng said: "This is not right, as long as you continue to operate the teahouse, I have no right to take it back." ”

Su Bottle said: "Then why don't you run it yourself?" Or lease? ”

Qiao Dongcheng said: "Don't hide it from this little brother, now I and the dogs in my family are doing things for His Royal Highness King Qi, and all the things we handle are big deals, and I really don't have the energy to take care of such a small business." I've rented out twice before, and the results have been disappointing. ”

Qiao Dongcheng sighed again, and said with a look full of feelings: "I am reluctant to let this signboard eat ashes here, after all, it is handed down by my ancestors." ”

Su Bottle felt that he was pretending to be emotional, covering up the real reason why he sold it at a low price.

On that day, Su Bottle, Meiran broke in with the Red Flower Society, fought with Qi Yu's group, and killed a few people. Later, Jingzhao Mansion followed up on the case and dug up several skeletons in the open space behind the teahouse.

According to speculation, they are all twelve or thirteen-year-old girls. It seems that he was killed by Qi Yu's criminal group, or suffocated in a dung truck, so he was buried on the spot.

With these discoveries, the reputation of this house will be ruined, and it will be called the mansion of the great murderer by the people of the Liang Dynasty, which is very taboo, including Qiao Dongcheng himself, so he is in a hurry to sell it at a low price.

It is said that there is no treachery and no business, and this Qiao Dongcheng is no exception. And Su Bottle didn't have the energy to take care of the teahouse, so he decided to give up. But at this time, Mei Ran said: "Let the people of the Red Flower Society come here to operate, Lu Sanniang used to open a teahouse." ”

Qiao Dongcheng smiled: "If that's the case, you can sell it." ”

Su Bottle waved his hand at Mei Ran, indicating that he would not buy it, but Mei Ran seemed to be wound, with a lot of energy on his body, and he had to buy it. He also said that the Red Flower Society has no place to gather now, and many people have no livelihood, and if it continues to be scattered like this, it will not be long before the Red Flower Society will be completely dispersed.

Seeing that Mei Ran was sincere about buying it, Qiao Dongcheng said, "I'll let you have another twenty taels, how about it?" ”

Su Bottle took a breath: "Second Master Qiao, let's make it clear." I handled the case in your teahouse. Why your house is sold cheaply, you and I know it in our hearts. If you can give up that repossession agreement, I'll buy it; If not, I won't buy it. ”

Qiao Dongcheng said with his hands behind his back: "This little brother, I'm afraid you are too underestimating people." Are you Qiao Dongcheng and I sending these four hundred miles of silver? I just don't want this sign to fall. ”

He was still pretending to be emotional, and Su Bottle said unceremoniously: "I don't care what you think, I just ask you if you can withdraw the agreement without a visa." ”

Qiao Dongcheng asked: "Then you answer me, can you still run this teahouse?" If you promise me to do it, you can get a visa free! I think you're a talented young man, a credible person. ”

When talking about business, the praise of the other party, Su Bottle never took it to heart, but felt that he could negotiate the price again. Su Bottle cut thirty taels, but Qiao Dongcheng stubbornly guarded three hundred and eight and did not let go. Su Bottle left, and he didn't stay. Seeing that this was the case, Su Bottle came back and cut off five taels.
