Chapter 53: Twists and Turns in the Transaction
"Is there any other place for these children to go?" Jia Zhenqi asked the old man.
"There shouldn't be anywhere to go. The old man replied.
"Why don't they be subordinates from some big families, and it's better than having a meal here without a meal?"
"This son, you may not know, these are still children, willing to be subordinates, no one will want them, after all, to raise them requires a lot of food, and now large families generally do not lack people. The old man said.
"Oh, that's it," Jia Zhenqi turned to Mi Jiaxi and said, "Otherwise, you take them all in, otherwise they won't all live on the streets, either starve to death or die of disease." ”
"Those who misbehave, they can't ask for it, but they pay it back to themselves. Mi Jiaxi said.
"This son, Hu Qian is a very hardworking and sensible child. The old man said.
"More than half of the children here are either lazy or sick, so what am I going to do here? "Laziness is also a disease, an infectious disease. ”
Seeing Mi Jiaxi thinking like this, the old man stopped talking, thought for a while, and asked, "Childe, how can I contact you after I contact the owner." ”
"How long will it take you?" asked Mi Jiaxi.
"If it goes well, there will be news in the afternoon, and if it doesn't go well, it may be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The old man replied.
"Then I'll leave one of my servants to stay at the nearest inn to your house, and if you have any news, tell him, and he will tell me." Mi Jiaxi said and appointed a subordinate to stay and wait for news.
Mi Jiaxi has been back in the east of the city for two days, and there has been no news yet, so he sent another person over to ask about the situation.
The next man came back and said that the old man was missing and could not be found.
Mi Jiaxi felt strange, this old man was a broker, there was no need to play with them, that is, there was only one situation, the old man had an accident.
Mi Jiaxi personally took the four subordinates to the big courtyard, and entered the courtyard through the side door, there was no change inside, but it was more lively.
"Here they are. "A child ran back and told the people in one of the rooms.
There were six older boys in the house, all of whom were estimated to be about sixteen years old, and Hu Qian was also on the side, and there were five or six younger children.
"You're just going to buy a house?" asked a leader.
"Yes. Mi Jiaxi replied.
"This big yard, we don't sell it. The boy said.
"Are you the owner of the house?" asked Mi Jiaxi rhetorically.
"It's not important, it's not for sale anyway, and no one will sell it to you. "That boy just bites the bite and doesn't sell it.
"Where did the old broker go?" asked Mi Jiaxi.
"Where he went, how do we know. The boy said.
"There are no brokers, we can find the owner by ourselves, you can't stop it, it just takes a little more time and a little more trouble, and I am just a person who is not afraid of trouble. Mi Jiaxi said, "Farewell." ”
When the children saw that Mi turned around to leave, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do, they were originally preparing to quarrel with each other, and even the Gan family's plan.
"Are you leaving?" shouted Husie.
Mi Jiaxi didn't answer, but when he got to the door, he turned his head and said, "Your methods and methods are very stupid. I suddenly remembered that you were the one who stole my money, so you borrowed it from me and had to pay it back. Also, the broker told us, Hu Qian, you are very kind, I think he was deceived by you, you are not only not kind, but also very cunning. ”
After Mi Jiaxi left, the children returned to the house.
"Brother Da Shui, what to do, they don't seem to be willing. Hu Qian asked the big boy.
"I don't know what to do, he still recognizes me as the one who stole his money in the first place, and if he reports it, I will be in trouble. Da Shui said.
"Otherwise, let's forget it and move out, this house is not ours anyway. Hu Qian said.
"Why don't we go find your brother, he's so powerful, maybe there's a way?" said a boy next to him.
"No, if we find your brother, things will not be easy to clean up at that time, your brother is so bad, and we won't get anything good at that time." Hu Qian hurriedly shook her head and said.
"Then you can figure it out yourself, we can't help it. The boy next to him said
"Let's move, I don't think this person is easy to mess with, I heard the uncle say that this person is not an ordinary person, tell me not to cause trouble. Hu Qian was a little flustered and said.
"I don't live here anyway, Hu Qian, you don't care, I don't care. Da Shui waved his hand and said, with an expression that he didn't care about himself.
"I'm also good for Brother Da Shui, if the trouble continues, he really reports to the official, Brother Da Shui, you will also be in trouble, let's move away, maybe the other party won't be held accountable." Hu Qian also showed a tone of consideration for others.
Da Shui thought about it, so he didn't say anything, and everyone discussed the matter of moving away.
After Mi Jiaxi left, he left a person to watch, and then went to the inn to wait.
In the afternoon, the old broker came.
The old man saw that Mi Jiaxi was also there, and paused for a moment, "Childe is also here, that's the best." ”
"The owner has been found, and we can go to their house tomorrow to talk about the house. The old man hurriedly talked about the house, and his expression was slightly unnatural.
"I thought you were missing, broker, or even kidnapped. Mi Jiaxi said with a smile, showing a little unpolite.
"Childe, it's funny, I'm so old and I don't have any money at home, who would kidnap me. The old man snorted.
"The reason why you haven't seen you recently, I won't investigate, the owner has found it, let's go now, is there a problem. Mi Jiaxi got straight to the point and said very seriously.
"Yes, yes, of course. The old man replied very cheerfully, with a smile on his face.
"Let's go, I don't want to waste time. Mi Jiaxi said, stood up and walked out, without looking at the old man.
A few subordinates directly pushed the old man out, and when they got downstairs, they directly pushed the old man into the carriage.
The carriage, guided by the old man, headed for the east of the city.
The group passed Yang Miao's house, walked two streets to the east, and arrived at the gate of a courtyard, stopped, and the old man took everyone out of the carriage.
The old man went and knocked on the door of the house, and after a while, the door opened, and Mi Jiaxi and the others entered.
Yang Miao had dinner, officially archery, with the growth of age, the increase of arm strength, now no longer use the bow of small arm strength, directly use the bow of adults.
Standing ten meters away, with a "whoosh", the arrow shot directly into the center of the arrow target, after practicing every day for so many years, he has become a good shooter.
"Childe, Director Mi is back and wants to see you. Xiao Liu came to Yang Miao's side and said.
"Oh, please wait for me in the lobby, I'll come right over. Yang Miao said.
"Yes, Childe. Koyanagi said and walked outside.
Why is it silent
