Chapter 108: The Forgotten Wooden Box
Two and a half years ago, Meng Bajiu was sealed by the Demon Mountain, and when he left Luoyang, he arranged Ning Shi in this inn. Later, Ning Shi spent the money cleanly, but found that the inn turned out to be a black shop, and the shopkeeper wanted to sell himself with the shopkeeper Xiao Er.
Fortunately, Ning Shi's ears were spiritual, and he jumped out of the window in advance and ran away, and that night, he also set fire to the inn.
Circumstances change with the passage of time.
This black shop actually closed down, and it had to be sold, and the ghost sent it to the gods, Ning Shi actually wrote down this address and found a family.
Ye Qingniao just noticed that Ning Shi was wrong: "Do you want to buy that inn?"
Ning Shi nodded.
Ye Qingniao: "I don't agree, the inn is too broken." ”
Chen Yusheng added oil and vinegar to the side: "I did the math just now, the inn is very unlucky, it is estimated that it has died and is unlucky." ”
Ning Shi: "Xiao Fan is a Taoist priest, he knows how to hang the test, do you also understand?
Chen Yusheng: "I'll count it anyway." ”
Even Spring Night nodded: "It smells bad and stinks in that inn, and I don't like it either." ”
Ning Shi didn't stop: "Then what do you say? There is only so much silver, after shopping for a day, what is the price of the house in Luoyang City, you have also heard, you can't let them cheat our money, as for the inn, ask first if you want to buy it!"
The address on the door panel of Changle Inn is a fairly good mansion, with two big locust trees planted at the door and two big lions squatting.
Ning Shi stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The door, soon opened, was opened by an old man.
After asking the reason, the old man let Ning Shi into the hall of the house, and after a while, a white-haired old lady walked out.
Ning Shi saluted: "We want to ask, is the Changle Inn in the south of the city going to be transferred? How much silver? We are interested." ”
The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Ning Shi, a young man who was not too big, and sighed: "Child, grandma doesn't hide it from you, the title deed and the deed of the inn are indeed ours, and the location is okay, but something happened before, the last tenant was messing around in the inn, causing a fatality, and our family also had a lawsuit, if you are not unlucky, you can take it away for eight hundred taels, the title deed and the deed are all yours, and if you want to buy it, you have to buy it together." ”
Ye Qingniao tugged on Ning Shi's sleeve and whispered, "Eight hundred taels, it's too expensive!"
The old lady on the other side looked kind and spoke straight, but she was very tough: "It's not expensive, the inn is so big." ”
Ye Qingniao: "But there have been deaths." ”
Old lady: "That's why it's so cheap, if I don't tell you, how do you know you've died?" ”
Ye Qingniao: "If you don't say it, the neighbors also know, how can this kind of thing be hidden." ”
“......”
Ning Shi listened to the two bargaining beside him, and asked coldly, "Do you still have the things in the inn?"
This question is very unreasonable, because Ning Shifang suddenly remembered one thing, when his aunt went to the Magic Mountain, she walked for a month, and left a wooden box in the inn before leaving. Ning Shi missed it too much at that time, and painted many pictures in his spare time, and those paintings were later stuffed in a wooden box and thrown into the corner of the backyard of the inn, and he didn't think about it when he set fire to escape from the inn, and now he recalls such an incident in his thoughts.
The old lady looked at the old butler beside her.
The old butler nodded: "Keep them all." ”
A dilapidated warehouse not too far from the Changle Inn, the doors and walls on both sides are covered with dead vine dust, and the winter sun leaves dappled shadows. The old butler took a bronze key and laboriously opened the copper lock, and a layer of dust rose in the warehouse.
Ning Shi covered his mouth and nose, frowned and walked in, his eyes were full of broken tables and benches, and there was not much to use. The smoke and dust cleared, and the wooden box in the corner finally fell into his eyes.
Regardless of the mess, Ning walked over in more than ten steps, pushed away the sundries next to him, and found a treasure: "Blue Bird, pay the silver, that inn, and the things in this warehouse, I want them all." ”
Wooden boxes aren't a rarity.
But this box was the last thought that Meng Bajiu left for Ning Shi.
Ning Shi knew very well that he would not be able to go to the Magic Mountain in a short period of time, and when he looked at the wooden box when he missed his aunt, he could be regarded as seeing things and thinking about people.
Sign and draw, pay the money with one hand, and transfer the ownership with the other.
When he returned to Yonghuanfang, Ning Shi carried a wooden box, pouted with Ye Qingniao on a spring night, and Chen Yusheng persuaded him. One thousand taels of silver, originally used to buy a house, but now he bought a dilapidated inn with a dead person, and only two hundred taels are left in hand, how can he not be angry.
The more Ye Qingniao thought about it, the more angry he became.
Then, what made her angry was still to come.
Returning to Yonghuanfang at dusk, I originally thought that I could drink a mouthful of wonton soup to warm my stomach, but when I arrived at the location of the original stall, I only saw a mess, Lin Zhuheng, Lu Yan and Xia Pingfan were all gone.
Ye Qingniao was just about to burst into foul language, Chen Yusheng hurriedly went to the side and asked: "The person was taken away by the officials of the government." ”
Ye Qingniao exhaled deeply: "It doesn't matter if you sell a wonton to the yamen? Is it destroying the public security in Luoyang, or is it disrupting the lives of the people? Are you bullying us from a foreigner? No, let's go, find them to theorize!"
Ning Shi stared at the mess on the ground, looked at it carefully, and even pinched up a piece of wood and looked at it, the wood broke as soon as it was put in the palm of his hand: "Blue Bird, stop for a while, it's not too late to figure out the whole story, go to the yamen to ask about the situation first." ”
Jingzhao Mansion is seven streets away from Yonghuan Fang.
Ning Shi led Ye Qingniao, Chen Yusheng and the spring night, and walked all the way, and it was almost dark.
It just so happened that a servant came out of the mansion, and Ning Shi didn't dare to let Ye Qingniao go up and ask, so he had to go over by himself, talk to each other, and even stuff a little broken silver to the other party, so that he could get the exact news.
People, indeed, are in Jingzhao Mansion.
The reason for the arrest was that there was a fight, which broke the law of the name, which stipulated: "Fighting is fighting, striking each other is fighting, and seeing blood is wounded." Punching with fists and feet, whether or not they cause injury, is punished with forty lashes. Wounding a person with a fist or foot, or striking a person with an object without being injured, sixty rods. Wound a person with an object or pluck out the hair of another person more than an inch of hair, and the rod is eighty. Causing ear and nose bleeding or vomiting blood, add the second degree. ”
According to the official officer's statement: "Lin Zhiheng and the three of them fought with others, used fists and feet, used weapons, and also beat the bridge of the nose of one of the opponents with blood, and all three of them had eighty rods, plus two degrees." ”
If you want to leave early, you can take the person away by paying a bail of 100 taels.
Ye Qingniao became even more angry when he heard this: "Lu Yan is just a young man who has never seen the world in Lujiazhai, although Xia Pingfan has a powerful master, but he is young and ignorant, you Lin Zhuheng has also been the senior brother of the Earth Fire Wind Thunder Pavilion, and now you are the only remaining pavilion master, you still want to revive the sect like this? Bullshit! If you don't see it for a day, you go to the house to uncover the tiles! Everyone still thinks that you haven't come out of your sadness, and you will let you do everything, I think it's two years older than Bai!"
