Master of Exotic Planting Chapter 170: The house in question
There are three most powerful figures in the Zhou family, namely, Chairman Zhou, Zhou Juncheng, and the suspended old grandfather Zhou. This time, only one Zhou Juncheng was caught, and the other two escaped. This is no trivial matter.
It also left a shadow on Zhang Xiaofan's heart.
Stop evil.
Chairman Zhou is a powerful man, and his methods are even stronger than Ma Xiancheng. Zhang Xiaofan's heart is uneasy if he doesn't bring this person to justice.
Actually, he himself has nothing to fear. The Zhou family wanted to do it, so just let them go.
Ding Shilang and the four imperial guards with swords have not left yet. As long as President Zhou and the Zhou family dare to show up, they will be kept forever.
What Zhang Xiaofan is really worried about is his family.
For safety reasons, he decided to bring his family to live in the city. The last time Ma Dashan used his family as a bargaining chip to force him to submit, it was a lesson of blood.
If Song Master hadn't brought someone to the rescue in time, he would have died.
The same mistakes will certainly not be repeated.
It happens to be very busy during this time. Taking his family to live in the city also saves him the hard work of running around.
"Chen Hu, you are familiar with the county town. Do you know where there are houses for sale or rent? A bigger one can live at least ten people." Zhang Xiaofan asked.
"Master Zhang has been promoted and made a fortune. Is this because he wants to be a concubine? If you are not in a hurry, your subordinates can help you slowly find a house with a good location, a well-planned layout and an affordable price."
Chen Hu wowed a smile on his face.
Men, if you get promoted and get rich, you must pursue a better life.
Buy a big house, take in two young and beautiful concubines, and hire a few more servants to live a fairy life.
"Have you a big concubine! Don't talk to me about such things in the future." Zhang Xiaofan scolded. If Wang Yuanyuan heard it and caused a misunderstanding, he would be miserable. "Only one of Zhou's principal criminals has arrived. I am worried that Zhou's family will retaliate against my family. So I am going to take them to the county seat to avoid the limelight. I need to be able to move in tonight."
Zhang Xiaofan briefly said his request.
Actually, he had already had the idea of buying a house in the county seat.
Killing a few bandit leaders really made a fortune.
Even if he bought the expensive Phoenix Grass Inner Armor for Wang Yuanyuan, Zhang Xiaofan still had more than 6,000 gold coins left. In addition, a lot of herbs with good potential are planted in his spiritual field.
Just cultivate two plants and sell them, and they can be realized immediately.
So, he is not short of money at all now.
Now that he needs to resettle his family, his idea of buying a house in the county is even more urgent.
Chen Hu was very happy when he was scolded, which shows that Master Zhang takes him seriously and speaks so casually. He thought about it for a while, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he smiled and said, "Hey, I really remember that there is such a house in the small alley east of the county yamen. The owner of the house is a wealthy businessman, who has it in the city. Many mansions. That house has been empty."
"The area is very large. There are a dozen or so rooms. It’s no problem to live with ten people. The only drawback is that the house is relatively old and some years old. In addition, there is a rumor that no one knows whether it is true or not... …"
Speaking of this, Chen Hu hesitated.
"If you have something to say quickly, I can arrange for someone to bring my family to the city overnight." Zhang Xiaofan urged impatiently.
"I heard that the mansion had a mysterious incident. Every night when it was dark and moonless, there would be a green light. A maid hired by a wealthy merchant was scared alive at night, and went crazy the next day. Since then, the wealthy businessmen have moved out and left the house vacant."
Chen Hu said everything he knew.
He was afraid that Zhang Xiaofan would blame him, and recommended a ghost house for Zhang Xiaofan to buy. He added, "Master Zhang, this is because you are in a hurry and you want to buy a big house. I can only think of such a house for the time being. If you are not satisfied, I will ask you again tomorrow, and promise to be very soon There can be news."
Zhang Xiaofan never believed in ghosts and gods.
That old house has a mysterious incident, maybe there is an unknown secret.
Anyway, he only arranged for his family to stay for a few days, and he stayed in the house every night. Would you like to see which monster dared to come out to be a stranger?
Even the demon tree raised by Yun Hezi was killed by him. He is not afraid of ghosts.
"Just buy that house, but I will buy it tonight. Do you know where the owner of that house lives?" Zhang Xiaofan has already made a decision.
"The owner of the house should live at No. 88 North Lane now. If you need to buy it, I will contact you now." Chen Hu is very concerned about Zhang Xiaofan.
"That’s good. You and Xiong Gang will drive a carriage immediately to Longcao Township to take all my family members to the county seat. I will write a handwritten letter to you now and give it to My wife will do. Remember, don’t let them delay. If my dad commits a crime, he will tie people to the carriage. Also, don’t make any noise. It is best to rent two ordinary carriages."
Zhang Xiaofan quickly wrote a handwritten note and handed it to Chen Hu.
Then asked for more details.
Chen Hu is attentive and Xiong Gang is brave. Sending these two people together to pick up people is sure to be foolproof.
Chairman Zhou and Mrs. Zhou have just escaped at the moment, maybe they haven't left the city yet. Certainly not thinking about dealing with Zhang Xiaofan's family.
As long as the news is not leaked, it should be safe.
Chen Hu and Xiong Gang rushed to do this without mentioning it. Now the county lieutenant camp is controlled by Zhang Xiaofan, opening the city gate at night is just a matter of one sentence.
After arranging this matter, Zhang Xiaofan took advantage of the Zhou's prisoner who was still on trial, and estimated that he would not be transferred here in a short time.
He decided to buy the house first.
As for the formalities and transfer of ownership, you can go through tomorrow.
Given Zhang Xiaofan's current status in Ping County, anyone who dares to play tricks with him should not be found.
After arranging the affairs of the county weiying, Zhang Xiaofan hurried out of the county weiying and went directly to No.88 North Lane.
Zhang Xiaofan has been to that alley once.
Manager Xia Bing lives there.
The whole house in North Lane is very luxurious and the area is huge. Belongs to the well-known wealthy area in the county seat. Those who are eligible to live in North Lane are either rich or expensive.
Zhang Xiaofan rushed to the ground not long after.
No. 88, this number is very auspicious, and businessmen generally believe this.
This wealthy businessman can buy it, which is enough to show that the financial resources are amazing.
At this moment, the sky is just getting dark, and through the gap of the courtyard door, you can see the light from inside the house.
Unlike the poor in the country, the rich don’t care how much lamp oil they need to burn in a night. What they think is how to make their lives more comfortable and decent.
"Boom boom boom!"
Zhang Xiaofan grabbed the knocker and slammed the gate of the vermilion lacquer. The big copper nails on it were very bright. The steps outside the courtyard were also cleanly cleaned, and on both sides were the beasts of the town house.
It's a statue of Pi Xiu.
According to ancient records, Pai Xiu is an auspicious beast. It has a characteristic that it only eats in and never spit it out. This is also in line with the businessman's thinking.
The money earned does not want to go out.
Squeak!
The small door next to it opened, and an old man in his sixties walked out carrying a lantern to check. This person was dressed in a commoner suit with a face full of wind and frost. At first glance, he was a person who suffered for a lifetime.
The waist bows slightly, and every move reveals the humbleness of the subordinate.
This was not formed overnight, but over time. After being used to being a servant, I unknowingly cultivated this kind of servile temperament.
"Oh, officer, who are you looking for?" The old man took a picture of Zhang Xiaofan, and was shocked to see the official uniform that Zhang Xiaofan was wearing.
A pleasing smile was immediately squeezed out on his face.
"I'm looking for your host, wanting to buy his idle house. Excuse me, the old man tells me." Zhang Xiaofan arched his hands and looked very polite.
"Okay, well, the little old man will report to the owner immediately, please wait a moment!" The old man looked flattered.
This is the official of the county yamen. It's rare to be so polite and polite to him.
In a short while, the courtyard door of the house opened, and a half-hundred man in brocade appeared. This person has fair skin, well-dressed, and a round hat inlaid with rubies on his head. He also wears multiple rings on his hands.
There is a jade pendant on the waist.
The whole person reveals an aura of wealth.
"My dear Yang Decai, this is polite!" The middle-aged wealthy businessman bowed his hand.
Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly returned the courtesy without putting on airs. He smiled and said, "I take the liberty to disturb you at night, and please forgive me. I heard that Mr. Yang has a house for sale in the east of the county government office?"
After meeting, Zhang Xiaofan didn't go around in circles and went straight to the subject.
"That's the case! Haven't asked the official name?" Yang Decai saw that Zhang Xiaofan was an official, and now he inquired about the mansion east of the county government office. He couldn't help but chuckle. Could it be that this official has a black heart and wants to occupy my house, right?
Otherwise, why do you have to wait until the evening?
"My surname is Zhang! Just call me Zhang Xiaofan." Zhang Xiaofan smiled.
"Ah...you, you are Master Zhang from the county government office! Hurry up, please come in and sit high!" Yang Decai heard Zhang Xiaofan's name, and then looked at Zhang Xiaofan's outfit, suddenly shocked.
The attitude has also become more respectful.
In the county seat, who doesn’t know the reputation of Master Zhang Xiaofan?
"I won't go in and sit today~ IndoMTL.com~ I will come back and visit again someday. I want to buy Mr. Yang's house. Can I go and take a look at the house now?" Zhang Xiaofan is very busy, how can I have leisure time? Sit down and drink tea.
Yang Decai hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master Zhang, it is true that the house has caused a supernatural incident..." If someone else wants to buy it, Yang Decai will definitely not tell the flaws of the house.
But when he sold it to Zhang Xiaofan, he didn't dare to conceal it. Otherwise, if this Master Zhang found out that he was fooled, he would be out of luck in his anger.
"I already knew about the haunting. If you dare not go over, just ask for the price."
In the world, I am afraid that only Zhang Xiaofan buys a house so casually.
I didn't even look at the house, so I just negotiated the price.
Yang Decai thought for a while, and stretched out a finger, "A thousand gold coins! With the size and location of the house, it would have been far more than this price. If you want to buy, a thousand gold coins will be sold to you at a low price. But ugly. Speaking first, once sold, no return will be made. The defects of the house have also been explained to you clearly."
