Chapter 42: I Have a Good Name
"Suitable, suitable. Erxi glared at Song Defu, for fear that Steward Zhou would change his mind, so he stretched out his hand to Gu Yuan, and his voice was sweet, "Good brother-in-law, hurry up and get the money." ”
Gu Yuan patted Erxi's head vigorously, took out the forty pieces of lower-grade blood crystals that had been prepared from the storage ring and handed them to Steward Zhou, and when Steward Zhou reached out to pick it up, Gu Yuan somehow retracted the cloth bag in his hand.
"What?" Steward Zhou had a faint look of anger in his eyebrows, and said, "Do you regret it?"
"No, no. Gu Yuan waved his hand, an elusive smile appeared on his face, and said, "I want to ask, does Madame know about the sale of this mansion?"
Steward Zhou was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Madame doesn't know yet, but since the title deed is in your hands, you don't have to worry that Madame will take back the house in the future." ”
Regarding Steward Zhou's words, Gu Yuan just smiled and said, "Since Madame doesn't know, how dare you sell the house without permission?"
"I don't have the guts. Steward Zhou thought of Master Cai's instructions before he came, and patiently explained: "It was the master's order, and the master's speech is always much heavier than that of the lady, right?"
In this way, Gu Yuan was speechless, handed the bulging cloth bag to Steward Zhou in exchange for the title deed, and sent Steward Zhou out.
"There's something quirky about this house. After Steward Zhou left, Gu Yuan said meaningfully.
"Weird?" The three of them looked at Gu Yuan at the same time and said in unison.
Gu Yuan looked into the depths of the courtyard and said, "The house before was not washed away by the rain. ”
"That's ......"
"It's like someone demolished. ”
Erxi wondered: "So what? It doesn't matter if it is washed away by the rain or demolished by someone, right?"
"It doesn't matter. Gu Yuan squinted slightly and said, "I smelled blood from that room. ”
Erxidun shivered, his eyes wandered, and said, "Could it be that this is a black shop? No, a black house? No, black ...... Black ......"
Erxi scratched his ears and cheeks, and couldn't think of what to say.
"Neither. Gu Yuan said slowly: "The bloody qi is very light, it seems that many years have passed. ”
Erxi was surprised: "You can smell this?"
But what does that mean?
"Murderous house?!" Song Defu's voice unconsciously increased, he was just an ordinary village old man, full of awe of ghosts and gods.
Sanqiao couldn't help but grab Song Defu's sleeves.
"Then why did you buy the house?" Song Defu didn't understand.
"What about the murderous house, can the lonely soul and wild ghost still be able to defeat my fist?" Gu Yuan's expression was very unstoppable.
"Brother-in-law, you are pretending to be very classless. ”
“......”
......
"Actually, I don't think there's more to this house than that. Gu Yuan's cheeks were flushed.
Erxi blinked and said, "For example?"
"The people of the Cai family seem to be in a hurry to sell the house. ”
Indeed, the price of the house is surprisingly cheap, and in such a rich town, it can be said that it is no different from the gift.
"Then what is the reason for this?" Erxi couldn't figure it out.
Gu Yuan turned around and went out and said, "Find someone to ask." ”
Outside the door, there are few people on the street, and the few houses next door have not been occupied for a long time, and they are all deserted like ancient houses.
Holding two men with flat shoulders on their shoulders, Gu Yuan asked one of the men with a sweat towel on his head, "This brother, do you know what happened to the old mansion of the Sun family?"
Mrs. Cai's surname is Sun, this Gu Yuan inquired a little bit when he was in the inn, he didn't inquire too carefully about the Sun family's house, of course, the shopkeeper also didn't know if he was deliberately shutting up, or if he really didn't know, it was hard to say.
"What's going on......" A little fear flashed in the man's eyes, he looked at Gu Yuan and Erxi, and then said, "The house was bought by you?"
Erxi threw away the bamboo stick in his hand and said quickly: "Yes, is there anything to say?"
The man stomped his feet and said, "You shouldn't have bought it, why don't you ask the neighbors?"
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "What do you say?"
"This ......"
"Don't say it. The man was quietly dragged by the people around him, and said in a low voice: "Let's go." ”
"But ......" the man resisted a little, he was a warm-hearted man.
"Shut up, watch the road, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't take the road you shouldn't take. "The other guy was a little older and looked weathered.
"Two, we don't know what is in the Sun family's house, you better ask elsewhere. ”
After speaking, the warm-hearted man was half-dragged and half-dragged away.
Erxi watched the two flat poles jump away one by one, pretending to stroke the long hair that was invisible: "Sure enough, there is something strange." ”
Gu Yuan let out an "um".
Erxi eagerly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Do you want to arrest them and torture them?"
Gu Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "When did you learn to be so unreasonable?"
"They know there is something going on but they don't tell us, shouldn't they be beaten?"
"I'm afraid of retaliation from the Cai family. Gu Yuan said: "It's not easy to make a living, if you can't control your mouth and provoke right and wrong, do you say it's wrong?"
Erxi seems to know how to put down his sleeves.
"Then do you still have someone to ask?"
Gu Yuan looked around, his eyes stayed on a thin man sitting on the ground against the wall basking in the sun, his hand in his arms vigorously rubbing ashes, and pulled Erxi to walk towards him, "Look for him and ask." ”
"Brother, ask something. Gu Yuan had an extra blood crystal in his hand.
The man jumped up from the ground and spat out his mouth, "There are two brothers above the villain, the third in line, hence the name ......"
Erxi, "Wang San?"
The man shook his head and said, "It's the king's upper row." ”
"What the hell is this name?" Gu Yuan was full of black lines.
"You say it's a name, then it's a name, you say it's not a name, that's not a name. Wang Shangpai's eyes stared directly at the blood crystal in Gu Yuan's hand.
Gu Yuan said with a smile: "Ask you a few words, you can answer, this blood crystal is yours." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Er Xi snatched the blood crystal from Gu Yuan's hand, and his tone was very strong, "You don't know how to live so well?"
After that, he ran the true yuan to both hands, broke the blood crystal in half, thought about it, and broke off a piece of the small piece of blood crystal, only then he was satisfied, his hand was a few taels of broken crystals, repeated Gu Yuan's previous words, and said: "Ask you a few words, if you can answer, this blood crystal is yours." ”
The king rolled his eyes, sat down on the spot, and slid to the ground like a slug.
"Brother-in-law, go. "Erxi is also quite simple, just leave, there is no nostalgia at all.
Wang Shangpai squinted at the two getting farther and farther away, spit out a mouthful of saliva hatefully, hurriedly got up from the ground, caught up with the two who walked out of a distance, and said with a bright smile: "Two slow walks, two slow walks, everything is easy to discuss, just ask if you have anything to say, the villain must know everything and say everything." ”
