This is the first time Meng Shuai has come to Shatuokou.

Shatuokou is one of the largest cities in Liangzhou, with a population of more than 100,000. Here in the past was the border of Liangzhou and Beidi, since Jiang Dashuai built Liangzhou, and built a new city on the front line, Shatuokou no longer served as a bridgehead, enjoyed a rare more than ten years of peace, because of its geographical location extending in all directions, commerce and trade are more prosperous.

Now Shatuokou is already the commercial center of Liangzhou and has become the first city of Liangzhou. Merchants from inside and outside the mouth gather here, camel caravans with camel bells can be seen everywhere on the streets, there are even bearded bearded merchants selling specialties from the Western Regions, and even beautiful orchid dances in the wine shops, which cannot be seen anywhere else.

Of course, this is also one of the centers of Liangzhou's martial arts, with martial arts halls, dart bureaus, and gang halls, staggered and horizontal, and there is no trace left of the forces of a big city and rivers and lakes, not to mention the Taishou Mansion standing in the center of Shatuokou and the military camp outside the city. You can see strong men with shy chests and belly everywhere on the street, and at first glance they are martial artists who practice martial arts.

Although Meng Shuai comes from a metropolis with a population of 10 million, it is also the first time to see such an ancient city.

After going around Shatuokou, Shui Lao took Na Baili Xiao to the inn to rest. Meng Shuai found the real estate agent's tooth shop. For things like buying a house, Shui Lao will not come forward and leave it to Meng Shuai to run.

Buying a house is a big deal, and the economy of the tooth store is what I like to do, but when I heard that Meng Shuai is from Gualingdu, not from Shatuo, young and without a middle insurance, it is very difficult to see that Meng Shuai is from Gualingdu, and he is not a middle agent.

Meng Shuai said unhappily: "I am trading in cash, Tong Su is not bullied, what are you embarrassed about?"

The real estate agent shook his head and said: "Shatuokou used to be an important town, and the control was very strict, and not everyone could buy real estate. You have to have a local white family, preferably someone with a meritorious reputation, to buy it. Even those big businessmen who come and go rent a house for a long time, and if you want to buy an existing house, you are afraid that your identity is not enough. ”

Meng Shuai didn't talk nonsense, took out a piece of gold and stuffed it, and said, "I know you have a way, think of a way, the price is easy to say." ”

The real estate agent took the gold, led Meng Shuai to a remote place, and said: "Little brother, no one can handle this matter of yours, and the military government is pressing on both sides." We are too guarded by Lord Ma, we don't care about other things, but we are very tight. If you have to insist, you either go directly to the path of the Taishou Mansion, and the money will be spent on the sea, and it will not be done in three days or two days. If you want to save money, you have to go a little bit wild. I have a house here, which is not on the books of the dental bank, it is my personal relationship. You go and spend money to find a guarantor, let's hurry up and take it down within three days, so as not to delay your business. ”

Meng Shuai saw that he was a thief and looked like a stolen person, and knew that this house was not a good way to come, but he leaned back against the big tree, had no scruples, and said, "How big is the house? ”

The real estate agent took the map and said, "See, this part of the house in Nancheng, two courtyards, is enough for ten people." It's just that the ground is a little worse, and there are civilian courtyards all around, which is a bit noisy. ”

Meng Shuai said: "It's nothing noisy, I can go and see the house first - how much is the price?"

The real estate agent stretched out his hand and said, "One hundred taels." ”

Meng Shuai raised his eyebrows and said, "The courtyard of the two entrances is only sold for one hundred taels, isn't it-" He stretched out his hand and grabbed the real estate agent, and said, "Don't fool me, there must be something wrong with this house, otherwise there is no such price." You lie to me now, and when the time comes, I will show up and tear down your teeth. ”

The real estate agent said with a bitter face: "That's it, let me tell you clearly, the house ...... It's a murderous house. ”

The house introduced by the real estate agent is in a small alley in the southern city.

Most of the people living in the southern city are poor, and the poor people generally live in miscellaneous courtyards. A yard would squeeze into four or five families. There are three religions and nine streams on the street, and the mouth of the alley is even more smoky, and there are petty thieves drilling around. The alleys are full of debris, and it's too crowded to get off your feet. Therefore, the price of land here is much lower than that of Dongcheng or Beicheng.

But even so, the people who can live alone here are all wealthy families, most of them are Hu businessmen and outsiders, just because the houses here are easy to buy and have little involvement.

Meng Shuai was taken to see the house and had to pass through a large meat market. Shatuokou meat is expensive, there are many cattle and sheep, dozens of sheep are killed every day in the meat market, and the air is filled with a fishy smell, only this one, the price of the house has been discounted. The expectations in Meng Shuai's heart had to be lowered as much as possible, and it was not until he entered the alley that the environment was not bad.

In a small alley, it is clean and clean, and there are only three families opposite. One of the houses is in the innermost part of the alley, and the other two are facing each other. And the house that Meng Shuai wants to see is the one that is relatively outer.

When I entered the gate, I saw that the inner courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the doors of the three main houses and two side rooms in the outer courtyard were locked, and a thick layer of dust was spread on the steps.

Although it is dilapidated, Meng Shuai took a general look, it is still a complete courtyard, the main house faces south, although there is no furniture in the room, but there is still a kang head. There is also a well in the courtyard and a small overgrown flower bed in the backyard.

I couldn't hear the noise of the market from the courtyard, and I thought it was far away, Meng Shuai measured it, the yard was ten zhang wide, and it was not enough to run a horse, but it could build a training ground with all kinds of organs. Seven or eight houses inside and outside are enough to live.

In general, such a house, which is only sold for a hundred taels, is definitely very profitable.

Meng Shuai had already made up his mind in his heart, so he said, "Where is the landlord?"

The real estate agent said: "To tell you, the owner is a dart head of the Snow Mountain Dart Bureau, and now he has gone out to dart." He and I are cousins, and we have entrusted this matter to me, as long as the negotiation is settled, when he returns, he will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”

Meng Shuai groaned: "Snow Mountain Dart Bureau, ......"

The real estate agent said with a little pride: "That is the largest dart game in Liangzhou, the first one to go to the north road." It is the wind and thunder dart game that passes through the world, and in Liangzhou, it is necessary to let the snow mountain dart game score three points. The head of the dart board is the personal disciple of the Snow Desert King, and the landlord Hong Dart is the personal disciple of the head of the dart, which is considered to be the second disciple of the Snow Desert King. ”

Meng Shuai nodded and said, "Since he is still alive, how can this house be called a murderous house?" He looked around and said with a smile: "Don't fool me, I'll go to the streets and alleys to inquire, and there must be a row of aunts waiting to tell me." “

The real estate agent hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Don't ask, all the rumors outside are exaggerated and weird." In fact, it was this house that had a murder case. ”

Meng Shuai nodded and motioned for him to continue, and the real estate agent organized the wording and said: "The accident happened to this old landlord, who is also Hong Darttou's uncle's family, who died at the same time three years ago in this family. In particular, the death is unknown, neither disease nor trauma, and no one knows how he died. ”

Meng Shuai said: "And then?"

The real estate operator said: "Later, this matter became an unsolved case. After Hong Darttou inherited the house, he didn't live in it and rented it out. The first tenant lived in less than half a year, and the owner of the family died of illness, which was also a strange death, and the legend of this house was revealed. Later, a few tenants were changed, and although there were no dead people, all of them said that they had seen ghosts, or their health was deteriorating. After walking several times in a row, the rent dropped again and again, and then I couldn't even rent it out for nothing, so I had to sell it at a reduced price. ”

Meng Shuai raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't rent it for nothing, so I can make money by selling it for one or two silvers." Wouldn't it be a great profit to sell a hundred taels?"

The real estate agent was stunned and said with a smile: "You are too ruthless...... For such a big house, not to mention the land, how much can you sell if you dismantle this brick and tile and sell it?"

Meng Shuai said: "Then you go and sell it." He turned around and left.

The real estate agent chased after him and shouted: "Go slowly, the price is not negotiable......

The two bargained, and the final price was set at seventy taels, Meng Shuai said: "You take a floor plan, I will show it to the elders in the family, if he agrees, then it will be decided." ”

The real estate agent said yes. Meng Shuai was quite satisfied in his heart, for him, the murderous house or something was not only not worth fearing, but a great thing. No way, he was too poisoned by games and novels, and always felt that the murderous house and the haunted house were equivalent to quest dungeons, and they were a good place to hunt for treasure and present secrets.

If it was before, he wouldn't have dared to be so unscrupulous, but with Shui Lao as his backing, ordinary danger probably couldn't threaten this almost fantasy character.

When he left the mansion, Meng Shuai was satisfied, but the moment he crossed the threshold, he was suddenly stunned and glanced back.

A creepy feeling spread up his spine, and Meng Shuai shivered excitedly.

The real estate agent saw that he was slow to keep up, and when he looked back, he saw him stepping on the threshold and asked, "What's wrong?"

Meng Shuai shook his head and said, "It's nothing." He walked out.

He already sensed that someone was watching.

On the roof, a person looked at the backs of the two condescendingly, and sneered in a low voice: "What's the matter, there are still fools who can't be scared? ”

returned to the inn where Shui Sigui lived, pushed open the door of the house, but saw a young man sitting on the bed, Meng Shuai was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake." "Hurriedly closed the door.

I heard someone behind me shouting, "Come back." ”

Meng Shuai turned his head and saw the young man pointing at him and said, "Come and sit, how is the house going?"

Meng Shuai was stunned, then dumbfounded, and said, "Could it be ...... You are...... Water ......"

The young man frowned and said, "I am your master. ”

Meng Shuai swallowed and spat at it, and then took a closer look, now Shui Sigui's facial features still have the shadow of Shui Sigui, but he is by no means thirty years old, his eyes are bright, and his bearing is calm, where can he still connect with the chaotic Shui Sigui?

If it is said that the beard changes from white to black, it can still be said that it is a matter of blood, then what is the point of this complete reversal of time?

Shui Sigui didn't care what Meng Shuai thought, and asked, "Is the house available?"

Meng Shuai said "ah", hurriedly put the floor plan on the table, and then roughly talked about the situation of the house, while peeking at Shui Sigui, thinking wildly in his heart.

Shui Sigui listened to what Meng Shuai said and said, "I see, since there is such a bargain, you can pick it up once." ”

Meng Shuai said: "I just don't know what kind of ghost is doing it." ”

Shui Sigui said: "Although there are occasional ghosts in Huangquan entering the yang world, it is unlikely that there are ghosts here. Most of the time it's people doing it. He casually pointed to the floor plan and said, "The key is why." The location of this small alley is so good that it is almost completely cut off from the outside world, and if you can hold all three houses in your hands, it will be a ruckus, and you can't see it from the outside. ”

Meng Shuai's mind flashed and said, "You say...... Someone is trying to monopolize this alley......"

Shui Sigui said: "If you want to know, go check the other two, there will always be a harvest." But it has nothing to do with us. What you have to do is concentrate on the exercises. If they don't mess with me, they'll be fine, and if they want to do a lot of things, it's not too late to deal with them. ”

Meng Shuai nodded and said, "I'll go back and buy furniture and hire someone, what are your requirements?" This kind of thing has been done when he renovated his home in his previous life, but there is no IKEA here, and whatever furniture you want, you have to go to the carpenter. He often saw this in Gualingdu.

Shui Sigui said: "I don't care about these things. It's simple, you can spread fine sand in the courtyard at the back and make a martial arts training ground. Don't hire too many people, but remember to find a good cook. ”

Meng Shuai agreed to go, and Yu Guang saw that Baili Xiaowu was lying on the bed, and he didn't know what to do, but he had already changed his clothes. I secretly wondered in my heart, and I didn't know what Shui Sigui thought, why did he keep taking this person with him.

Since I've changed my clothes, I guess I've been searched.

Three days later, Meng Shuai saw the landlord Hong Darttou, and when he heard that Meng Shuai only paid seventy taels, he was obviously unhappy, but he did not raise any objections, and only said: "Since you know about the house and still buy it, you are prepared." If there is anything to do in the future, it has nothing to do with me, so don't you need to trouble me. Life and death have their own destiny, and they have nothing to do with people. ”

Meng Shuai nodded and said, "That is natural." ”

Hong Dart said: "Sign and draw." "I put the deed away and pressed my fingerprints.

Meng Shuai did so, and asked again, "I don't know who the other two families in the alley are?"

Hong Dart said, "How do I know? I don't come often." After thinking about it, he frowned and said, "It seems that the opposite side was originally a Hu merchant's industry, and after he returned to the north, it has been empty for a few years." The ...... inside," he said, his eyes lit up, "yes, it seems to be a group of female dolls." ”

Meng Shuai was surprised: "Female doll?"

The more Hong Darttou thought about it, and said: "The one for me is quite beautiful, although I have only seen half of it, but I remember that it is a great beauty, and it is either rich or expensive." He said with a hint of reverie.

When Hong Darttou went out, Meng Shuai had already become the owner of the mansion, so he personally sent it to the door. As soon as I went out, I saw a horse-drawn carriage coming in from the entrance of the alley, and it was actually a tall cart drawn by two horses, with a black cloth curtain hanging on the cart, which was tightly surrounded by the wind, and it was able to drive from the narrow alley to the innermost part.

The innermost gate opened, and the cart entered, and the door slowly closed.

Meng Shuai's heart moved, and he recognized it when he landed, this big car was the big car he encountered when he and Shui Sigui were sitting on the official road. He still remembers the look on the face of the old woman in black in the car when she said, "You know what we are."

It turns out that which one she is talking about is this one.

Meng Shuai suddenly remembered Shui Sigui's inference about the reason for the sneakiness, and secretly said in his heart: I see, Yiye Zhiqiu, it seems that the teacher is really too wise.
