Chapter 583: Buying a House
After opening the envelope and pulling out the letter paper, I found that this was a gold letterhead, the writing was good, the force penetrated the back of the paper, quite orderly, but it was too hard, the silver hook iron painting, too steep, but lost the charm:
I have heard the name of the king for a long time, I have not tasted it, I have prepared a thin wine today, about Brother Li tonight's three watches, the oblique moon gambling house, and the three ladies of the cloud will be at the meeting.
The payment is: sealed and dust-free.
After Li Xiake read the letterhead, he wondered: "Who is this Wuchen? Why did you ask me to go to the meeting? Lao Tzu didn't know him, why did he ask me to go?"
If it is other curious people in the rivers and lakes, after receiving this kind of invitation, they will definitely go for a while, especially a bold person like Li Xiake, naturally there will be no worries.
From the outsider's point of view, as long as Li Xiake receives this letter, he will go to the meeting on time, but they didn't expect that Li Xiake looks bold and has no taboos, but in fact he is very shrewd, and he is more proficient in the way of saving his life than anyone else.
In order to ensure the safety of the capital, now the masters in the entire Zhongjing City are all over the city, and there are warriors patrolling every day.
At this special juncture, not to mention Li Xiake, the martial arts master, even the martial arts master didn't dare to turn out any flowers, if he really angered many masters in Zhongjing City, I am afraid that even Da Luo Jinxian could be beaten into ashes.
And now there is a stranger who has come to invite Li Xiake to meet in the middle of the night, so Li Xiake said that he would not go.
He can be said to be full of enemies in the main world, and there are countless black and white characters who have offended, and there must be many people who secretly want to attack him.
Knowing that Li Xiake is an invincible martial arts master in the same realm, these people still dare to besiege him, then they must be sure to destroy Li Xiake silently, or they can subdue Li Xiake in a short time, if they don't have this certainty, these people will never attack Li Xiake.
After all, this is Zhongjing City, surrounded by twelve golden people outside, and dozens of great masters from the internal force are in charge, even Sun Quanzhou, Su Tianhe and others have to weigh a few points when they come.
This kind of thought only turned in Li Xiake's mind, and then he made a decision: "Calling Lao Tzu to gather in the middle of the night, sneaky, you don't need to look at it to know that it's not a good thing! If you really want to make friends with me, can't you make friends with me during the day? Really think I'll go to the appointment on time? Just wait!"
He originally thought that this letter was written to him by a group of little ladies from the Chang'an Sword Sect, after all, after he came to Zhongjing City, a group of people who could be a little implicated could only be people from the Chang'an Sword Sect, who knew that it was a stranger called Feng Wuchen.
After making up his mind, Li Xiake drank and ate as usual, as usual, and continued to meditate and breathe at night, and did not go out.
The next day, when he left the inn again to play, he saw a man in Tsing Yi coming over, nodded and said, "This master, but Li Xiake?"
Li Xiake said that this man was in his forties, extremely rich, extremely well maintained, with fine skin and tender meat, and at first glance he was from a wealthy family. This kind of person should usually be a commanding envoy, but at this time, he has a sad face, standing in front of Li Xiake very respectfully, and asked cautiously: "The villain heard that Li Ye wants to buy a house, but it happens that there is a house in the villain's house that is about to be sold, I wonder if you are interested?"
Li Xiake glanced at this person a few times and said with a smile: "Oh, dare to ask Brother Taigui's surname, where did you know that I was going to buy real estate?"
The middle-aged man bowed his head and said: "The villain Wei Duocai opened a pawnshop in the city, that, chatting with friends yesterday, learned from them that Li Ye wanted to buy a house, and the villain just had a house that wanted to sell, so he specially came to Li Ye to ask." ”
Li Xiake smiled: "Really, then I want to take a look!"
Wei Duocai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Please come with the villain!"
Behind him was a carriage, and at that moment he asked Li Xiake to get into the car, and the coachman waved his whip, the wheels turned, and he ran along the long street to the west of the city.
In the middle of the capital, the south is poor and the north is rich, the east is cheap and the west is expensive, if this is the best place for the low-end, it is a house in the west of the city. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there are lakes connected to it, which can be called an excellent place of feng shui, and many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen have bought residences here.
Li Xiake has already investigated this situation in the past few days, knowing that every inch of land is expensive here, and the area of Zhongjing City has been so large since tens of thousands of years ago, since the first emperor was built, for tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to expand, because the entire capital is closely related to the twelve golden people outside, and if you want to change the size of the capital, you must change the twelve golden people.
However, for tens of thousands of years, no emperor has been able to reach the grand occasion of the first emperor's original rule of the world, and no elite of that dynasty can catch up with the masters of the first emperor's time.
When the first emperor ruled the world, it was the time period when a hundred schools of thought contended, and the sons of a hundred schools of thought met in a stormy time, and it was an extremely brilliant era, with countless geniuses emerging together, like the stars in the sky, illuminating the history of tens of thousands of years in later generations, and future generations are still living under the afterglow of these predecessors.
Only so many talented people, so many great martial arts masters, and so many people who have created a lineage can they create an earth-shattering artifact like the Twelve Golden Men and refine a city as large as Zhongjing City.
After that time, there was no dynasty in later generations that could have so many talents, and there was no such strong national strength. After that, it is already good to be able to hold the capital of Zhongjing, and to be able to sense and control it slightly with the twelve golden people is already a very great means.
In this case, no one has the ability to change the layout of the capital city of Zhongjing, nor does they dare to destroy and rebuild it at will, after all, no one knows whether the layout of this city is particular about every tree, and if the pattern of the entire city is destroyed, it may cause great trouble.
This has also led to the extremely high price of land in the entire Zhongjing City, and no one can move the land without authorization, if you want to build a house, you must report to the government in advance, otherwise you will be severely punished.
This Wei Duocai led Li Xiake to a big mansion near Xiaohu in Xicheng and stopped, and said respectfully: "Master Li, this is the mansion that the villain is going to sell, if you think it's good, you can just reward the villain for some money!"
Li Xiake saw that this house was so magnanimous, and after entering, he found that it was a three-entry courtyard, with a garden pavilion on one side, and even a small lake, covering an area of five or six acres, which can be regarded as a relatively good house in the entire Zhongjing City.
"Are you willing to sell this yard?"
After Li Xiake finished reading it, he was surprised: "Brother, you can't do it? You are willing to sell this yard?"
Wei Duocai bowed his head and said: "This is the mansion handed down by the villain's ancestors, I didn't want to sell it, but the villain has been in debt recently, so I have to sell it, as long as Li Ye can give the villain a hundred taels of gold, this mansion is yours!"
Li Xia said: "Where can I get a hundred taels of gold? I'll give you a thousand taels!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, took out a wooden box, and handed it to Wei Duocai: "Brother Wei, it's just a thousand taels of gold, and it's two taels of gold. ”
After Wei Duocai took over the gold, Li Xiake smiled and said, "Brother Wei, have you suddenly owed a lot of debts in the past two days?" and then someone pointed out a way for you, that is, sell this house to me, and then make up money to pay off the debt?"
Wei Duocai was stunned: "Master Li, how do you know?"
