The night was almost over. Zhang Bai and Zhuge Liang agreed that the next time they would meet in the dream world, Zhuge Liang would just need to fall asleep on time, which would be about three nights later.Zhang Bai also specially asked Zhuge Liang to draw a diagram of the Bagua array maze to facilitate his entry and exit from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Then he quickly exited the dream world and took back his consciousness.

Zhuge Liang woke up with a start and sat up on the bed. He looked around. Everything was as usual. What happened before was just like a dream.

He couldn't help but clasping his hands together and whispering to himself: "Please, please, God be merciful! This dream must, must, must, definitely, be completely true."

At this time, the sky was already getting a little brighter.

After dawn, Zhang Bai did not play chess with Zhuge Qiao this time. He hurriedly left Zhuge's mansion and made an appointment to meet again with Huo Yi, Deng Liang and others in the Shihuayuan the next evening.

As soon as he returned to his house, Zhang Bai immediately found Brother Ma and asked him how he went about the things he arranged the day before.He has a lot of things arranged, and it certainly can't be completed in half a day.

However, Brother Ma still managed it quite effectively, and with the help of Zheng Mazi, several things were already somewhat clear.

The first thing was to find carpenters, bricklayers, masonry workers, etc. to tidy up the entire house. This task was handed over to Zheng Mazi.

Zheng Mazi was very happy to make money. He originally thought that Zhang Bai and the other children would be scared away.Unexpectedly, I heard that only the first half of the night was very noisy, and then it became quiet in the second half of the night. The rest of the night was even more peaceful, and nothing happened in the haunted house.

It seemed that these kids were a bit wise, and he was worried that his own way of making money would be cut off, but Brother Ma came to find him.Brother Ma ordered several things at once.If you want to find a craftsman to repair your house and ask him to help you find a shop, you must have a good market and be close to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

These things all involve commissions, and the commission amounts are quite large. Now Zheng Mazi was satisfied and patted his chest and wrapped it up on the spot.

Then, Brother Ma went to the street outside the backyard of the house to check out his shop.There are four shops in total, one sells rice, one sells tea, one sells copper and blacksmith, and one is empty.

He visited these merchants one by one. Except for the rice merchant, the other two were small businesses. When he saw that the owner finally came, he felt uneasy, fearing that the rent would increase and he would not be able to afford it.The rice merchant had quite some background. It was said that he was a forcibly leased property from a local wealthy family. He was very arrogant about Ma Ge's indifference.

Brother Ma explained to them that he was just the general and housekeeper of the family, and he came here to stand in front of them. Everything had to wait until the owner came to decide. As for now, he was not in a hurry to pay the rent, so he put the matter on hold for the time being.

The last thing that Brother Ma wanted to inquire about was to find a safer docking point for the spacecraft. However, the surrounding areas of Chengdu were densely populated, and it was hard to find a suitable one for a while.

The place chosen now has not been discovered yet because there are many mechanisms made by Zhang Bai using magic.But putting it so far away with no one watching is really unsettling.

Moreover, the current anchorage is still too close to Dujiangyan, where water conservancy is being repaired. There are people and craftsmen coming and going at the foot of the mountain every day. Maybe there will be an accident one day, and there may be more troubles.

Zhang Bai asked Ma Ge and found that everything made some progress.After all, it was only one day, and he was very satisfied.After much deliberation, I decided to find Zheng Mazi first to see how the new store went?The matter of collecting rent for my own shop is not urgent.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Bai asked Seng Hui and Lingling to take care of the house with two shikigami, while he and Ma Ge each rode a horse and rushed to Zheng Mazi's house.

Brother Ma's horse was newly bought, and it was originally used to pull carts.There are no good horses in Chengdu. Compared with the big horse under Zhang Bai's crotch, it is simply shabby.But it’s just walking around the city anyway, so there’s no problem.

When the two arrived at Zheng Mazi's house, they saw him sleeping soundly with his arms spread out.

There was only one old mother in his family. Early in the morning, she was cleaning and carrying water. She saw Zhang Bai, dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing fresh clothes, angrily entering the house. He looked like a son of a noble family.She was scared, thinking something had happened to her son again, so she hurriedly ran into the bedroom, picked up a broom and hit her buttocks and head.

"Get up, get up quickly, you unlearned bastard, you must have caused trouble again. People are coming to your door and you are still sleeping. I'll beat you, I'll beat you!"

Zheng Mazi was sleeping soundly when he was hit on the head with a broom and knocked out of bed inexplicably.When I went out to see it was still early in the morning, I started yelling and cursing: "Why are you so windy early in the morning? This damn old woman has ruined my sweet dream. She is about to take a wife into the bridal chamber. The good rooster is about to crow. , I was beaten so hard by you that my eggs were about to fall out."

"How can a rooster lay eggs?" His old mother was amused by the puff, "Go see someone quickly, God knows if you are in trouble again."

When Zheng Mazi saw it, it was Brother Ma and Zhang Bai. Not knowing what was going on, he asked, "Aren't these Brother Ma and Young Master Zhang here? What's the mission?"

Zhang Bai smiled and said: "I am just looking for Brother Zheng's help. I told you yesterday that I wanted to find a shop. Is there anyone I can check?"

Zheng Mazi scratched his head, "Yes, yes, but you are too impatient. I haven't negotiated the price yet?"

"Don't worry, little brother, as long as we like it, it's fine. The price is easy to negotiate." Zhang Bai said.

Brother Ma also helped: "Since you have it, go and take a look. You can only negotiate the price after viewing the house!"

Zheng Mazi scratched his head again, reached out and wiped his shiny face, and then wiped it on his trouser legs.He agreed with disdain on his face: "Okay, let's go then!"

He turned back and shouted to his home: "Old lady, she's out!"

......

None of the three of them rode horses. Zhang Bai and Brother Ma led the horses along the alley, turning east and west, and soon arrived at the opposite gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was faster than riding a horse.

Brother Ma couldn't help but raise his thumb and said: "Brother Zheng is truly a living map, the roads are so familiar."

"Hehe, that's natural. How else would I be able to eat this food, right?"

The shop they found was just a few dozen steps east of the Prime Minister's Mansion, diagonally across from it.The door is quite large, with twenty carved wooden doors that are easy to disassemble and assemble. There is a layer of dust on the thick door bolts. The two-story building has a wind flag in front of the door. The dilapidated white linen is embroidered with Dou Da. The word "when".

"This used to be a pawn shop, but it closed two years ago. The house belongs to the Zhao family in Chengdu. I wonder if you are buying it or renting it?"

"Buy!" Zhang Bai said.

"If you want to buy it, I have to advise you. The market in this place is average, and even a pawn shop can't open. If it's a fair-wine business, it's bound to suffer miserably. I suggest you look elsewhere. Within two days, I will give it to you. Find a busy shop."

Zhang Bai looked around, thought for a while and said, "I also want that bustling shop you mentioned. Brother, keep looking."

He went up the steps again, approached the door and tried the bolt with his hand. The door was locked tightly.

"Is this house the only one close to the Prime Minister's residence?"

"There are a few others, but those appearances are too small, and they are not worthy of your status, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Bai smiled, although Zheng Mazi's words were glib, but he did think this house was good.There is only one road separating this place from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there are not many pedestrians around. It is suitable for me to communicate with Zhuge Liang.
