After the fairy disappeared

"I heard that the original owner of the manor has disappeared, and the servants in the manor have also been dismissed. Farmers around said that the manor was basically abandoned and no one took care of it." He paused and added, "I expect the official After observing it for several months, I felt that there was something to take advantage of, so I simply accepted it and resold it, hoping to make a fortune for nothing. Unexpectedly, someone came from Beja.”

He Lingchuan laughed: "I wanted to eat Juehu, but I failed. It seems that this is not the first time the government has done this. Can you find out who the original owner of the manor is?"

"It seems to be a national teacher? But the people around can't tell the specific name."

He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be Master Qingyang?"

In the past few months, the only national teacher who was defeated by Beijia was Qingyang National Teacher, and he was still inseparable from him.

Moreover, Qingyang National Teacher has been a high-ranking and powerful person for more than 100 years, so it is not surprising to buy property anywhere.

Cough, I didn't expect that I could still hear the news of Qingyang Guoshi after traveling thousands of miles away, what a fate.

"It's speculative for the officials to do this. It's not kind and risky." After all, it is also the property of the Beja people. Can it be copied at will?

Of course, He Lingchuan had heard of such things in his original world.

It's easy to kick the iron plate if you take advantage of it so roughly.

"How to deal with this matter in the end?"

"I don't know how the two sides negotiated. The official returned the manor, and the original owner has entrusted someone to sell it." Ding Zuodong coughed, "I think the price of the manor is not expensive, and it seems that someone has already targeted it. Do you want to take it?"

He quoted the price, and when He Lingchuan heard it, it was indeed not expensive.

It seems that Imperial Master Qingyang is determined to sell off all his foreign assets.

After she was demoted to a commoner, she became an old woman who was almost two hundred years old, and she had no children under her knees. What's the use of leaving so many untouchable assets?It's better to change the money by yourself.

With this alone, He Lingchuan knew the general situation of her situation.

"Wait a little longer." He Lingchuan has less than 30 taels in hand, which is already wealth that ordinary people cannot earn in a few lifetimes, but he still feels stretched to use it to start a career.Every copper plate is very useful right now, and you can't invest it at will. "If you want to buy it, use your name."

Ding Zuodong agreed and withdrew immediately.

In the evening of the next day, one of He Lingchuan's subordinates, Lu Qiuwei from Rongshan, also came to report:
"There used to be a housekeeper named Feng in the Lu family, who was fired half a year ago. Because no one hired him again, he often went to the Yellow Fish Tavern in Hong Kong to relieve his sorrows, and cursed at the former owner when he got drunk."

He Lingchuan has also been to the Yellow Fish Tavern.The drinks there are a bit shoddy, but the noodle soup is surprisingly good.

Because of the low price, most of the regular customers are peddlers and people who move goods on the wharf.

"Is it Lu Zhensheng's housekeeper?"

Lu Qiuwei shook his head: "No, no, he used to be the second housekeeper in Lu Zhensheng's cousin's house. I heard from the people in the tavern that he was fired because his hands and feet were not clean while working in the owner's house, so he scolded the Lu family everywhere. The original owner was not happy. , accused him of making false accusations, and asked him to eat in prison for half a month. After he came out, Steward Feng didn’t dare to stay in Qucheng anymore, so he ran to Daofeng Port.”

That's right, the Lu family is the sky of Bailie, and it couldn't be easier to catch Steward Feng and put him in prison.Blade's Edge Harbor is different, here you can curse people casually.He Lingchuan said with a smile: "Then he really has no burden to scold the Lu family."

"I invited him to drink twice, and he called me my brother, and even quarreled with others for me." Drunkards are usually unguarded against outsiders, "A large fleet arrives at the port tonight and needs to unload in the middle of the night , Most people in the tavern have to go to work, so it's quiet there. I want to take this opportunity to ask about the inside story of the Lu family."

"Is it safe?"

"The wine seller said that the bitter water in Butler Feng's stomach was poured out by everyone. He had poured it dozens of times, and his ears almost grew calluses when he heard it. No one should care about me chatting with Butler Feng."

He Lingchuan immediately stood up: "I will go with you."

The Yellow Fish Tavern has a big face, and it is located near the port wharf, making it easy for regular customers to come and have a drink as soon as they get off work.The faded signboard looks old, but He Lingchuan knows that the business here has always been booming.

Inexpensive, but take the volume.

And the store is not cramped at all, and more than [-] square tables can be placed at the same time, but the windows are smaller and not bright.

This is also intentional. If you drink too much alcohol, people will be a little sensitive to light.

The tavern is really quiet today, most of the guests here have gone to work on the pier, and the smell of sweat has lessened.Lu Qiuwei sneered towards the innermost small table: "That's him."

He Lingchuan saw that the man was leaning on his head with his back to the door, and there was still a jug of wine on the table.

Lu Qiuwei walked over and sat down at Butler Feng's table, while He Lingchuan sat by the window, two tables away from them.

The corners of the table were covered with patina, which was very shiny and slippery.

The clerk gave a plate of edamame when he saw a guest, and He Lingchuan ordered a bottle of shochu and a bowl of fish soup noodles.

He can drink good wine as well as bad wine. The shochu in this wharf tavern is dry and spicy, and guests who drink it for the first time will often choke. If they drink too much, they will have a splitting headache when they wake up the next day.

Looking at Steward Feng again, the clothes were of good material, but they were wrinkled and had two patches.

What he drank was a big pot of bad wine, and the only appetizer was a plate of mixed shrimp skins.

But when he saw Lu Qiuwei, his eyes lit up.The latter patted him on the shoulder: "Why are you so drunk again?"

Butler Feng laughed at himself: "Oh, isn't it like this every day?"

Lu Qiuwei called his assistant, ordered a bottle of red rice wine, and added a few meat dishes such as braised pork scalp and dried salted fish, and said, "Old Feng, I will be heading north in two days."

"Oh? Where are you going?"

"Qucheng. Our boss is going to open a store there to do business and test the waters."

"Testing the water? Your boss went to Qucheng to test the water?" Steward Feng took a sip of wine, "Is your boss out of his mind?"

Lu Qiuwei wondered, "How do you say that?"

He glanced back calmly, and saw that "the boss with a broken brain" was pouring himself a drink, very calmly.

"Not Duqu City, who owns the entire Bailie?"

"deer?"

Steward Feng said with a smile: "It was appropriate more than ten years ago, but in recent years, Bailie's exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been exorbitant. If you ask the people in this tavern, they have been here for more than [-] years and have to ask someone to intercede in order to pay less taxes. This is the case in Blade's Edge Port, let alone Qucheng! You foreigners who don't know where to go to Qucheng to do business, they can punish you to death."

Lu Qiuwei was puzzled: "I heard that Bailie has been peaceful for decades, and there has been no major war. Why are you still thinking of ways to extract money from everyone?"

The geographical location of Bailie is good. The Mou country bordering on the west is a big country, but it has a good relationship with Bailie; the surrounding area is full of small countries, even tribal territories like Bailie.Of course, the most unstable factor in the east is the rapidly rising country of Ya.

If Panlong City could guard this place, Zhong Shengguang would wake up with a smile from his dreams at night.

"Picking money, these two words are used well!" Feng Steward slapped the table, "They can obviously rob you, but they still want to give you a fine."

He asked his new buddy: "Do you know the origin of Bailie?"

"I know a little bit. I heard that the people here are the remnants of the kingdom of Bailie. The old territory was taken away by Beja, so they came here."

"The territory of Bailie——" Steward Feng poked the table with his middle finger, "Actually, the area at the beginning was three times as large as it is now."

"Huh? That's not small." Lu Qiuwei was a little surprised, "What happened?"

"For 600 years, people cut off a piece of land in the east, borrowed a piece of land in the west, and gave way to the controversial areas, and gradually shrunk to the current size." Steward Feng shook his head, "Bailee is the same. In a few years, I can still be tougher, but in the past few decades, my body was soft, and I swallowed my anger when I was in trouble, and said that I asked for it, asked for it..."

"Ask for yourself?" It's such a compliment, how can it be used here?

"Yes! Anyway, I don't dare to stir up trouble outside."

"Oh, it doesn't mean that the son of the patriarch of the Lu clan has climbed to the high branch of the Mou country, and Bailie's revival is in sight."

"ZTE?" Steward Feng sneered, "It's not bad if it doesn't go bankrupt!"

"Bankrupt?" Lu Qiuwei looked unbelieving. "How can we go bankrupt if we sit in such a large area? I heard that Bailie has fertile soil and fertile soil, developed commerce and industry, and flourishes all kinds of industries."

Looking at the geographical location of Bailie, it is in the north of the Gulf, among the countries, and it is the hub leading to all countries.

Touching a piece of fat meat can still stain your hands with oil.

At this time, the fish soup noodles ordered by He Lingchuan arrived. The soup was milky white and fragrant, with a few green onions on top. It looked very good.

It looks like plain noodles—there is no other ingredients—but it is actually a soup base made from a lot of miscellaneous fish. The most important thing at the wharf is fishing goods. The store only picks other people’s miscellaneous fish from the bottom of the basket Come to make soup, it means that you don’t need money.

So such a big bowl of noodles is only three big children, the price of conscience, even the hard-working poor can afford it, so it has become one of the signs of Yellow Fish Tavern.

He Lingchuan sucked, the soup was thick and delicious, and the noodles were quite chewy.

Steward Feng looked back at him when he heard the sound, and then continued to say to Lu Qiuwei: "Ten years ago, although the Lu family suffered from splints among the various countries, they lived a very good life behind closed doors; In fact, there is a mess of accounts inside, only I know!"

Lu Qiuwei was amazed: "That's true. Could it be that all the money is used for cosmetics?"

Lu San is Lu Zhensheng's cousin, ranking third in the clan.

"That's right!" Steward Feng sneered, "I have been a housekeeper in the Lusan family for more than ten years. From the outside, his house looks like a wealthy family, and the house is big and grand, but in fact, half of the houses inside are closed for many years. It was not repaired or cleaned. Two years ago, there was a wing on the west side that kept creaking at night. Everyone thought it was haunted, and finally found out that there was a colony of weasels living there. They often jumped over the well and pulled the rope. Just ring the barrel."

"Is that because there are few people?" The Lu family seemed to be undercrowded all the time.

"It's really not much, but the salary his family pays us housekeepers and servants is also very searchable, not even as much as the merchants in Qucheng. I used to say that no one believed me."
