The village in Heishan is called Heitu Village. The name sounds rough, but everyone can understand it immediately. It means that the land there is fertile.

Heishan directly introduced Lizheng to them. All houses in the village were sold and transferred through Lizheng's hands. In terms of familiarity, Lizheng was the most familiar with them. Besides, he already had a good house in his hand.

"This is really nice. It's a newly built house. No one has ever lived in it. Everything is [-]% new. After the husband passed away, the owner of the house was left with a mother and daughter. They couldn't do farm work, so they simply sold the land and took it with them. Qiancai might as well move to the city." Li was talking endlessly about the benefits.

The house is on the edge of the village near the foot of the mountain. There is a forest in front of the house as a natural shielding belt. There are two wing rooms in one main room. The west wing room is connected to the kitchen. There is another row of inverted houses behind it. The vegetable field is covered with weeds and vines because it has not been planted for a long time. There is also a well in the backyard. The water quality is clear and clean, which saves the trouble of fetching water from the old well at the entrance of the village.

Secluded, few people and convenient, it is indeed the first choice.But Jing Zhaoqiu didn't show any special liking, let alone Yi Zhiyu, who always had a calm expression.Li Zheng originally thought that the two of them would definitely be tempted by his lobbying, and it seemed that they were both hard-headed.

The owner of the house has long since moved to the city, and Tori is reselling it. No matter how much it sells, he will get a third.Otherwise, there is no need for Lizheng to be so enthusiastic.

Li is upping the ante.

"The whole house is full of new furniture, the best rosewood, listen to this..."

Lizheng was knocking on the table with an old pipe, and the sound was crisp. The tables, chairs and benches were not wanted by the owner. He wanted to take them at first, but he was afraid that the villagers would say that he was greedy for ink. .Lizheng's son was studying in a private school, and this time he had to pay ten taels of Shu Xiu. It was the time when he was short of money, so he was in a hurry to make a move.

Yi Zhiyu, who had been doing various inspections in the house, was walking in, and suddenly added coldly: "Old."

Li was wiping off his sweat, these two were really picky, and couldn't stand it anymore.Jing Zhaoqiu secretly praised Yi Zhiyu, Yan Shen, okay, he really understands the rules of bargaining, and knows how to cooperate with him.

?Yi Zhiyu didn't know what to say, he really felt old.

Jing Zhaoqiu said: "It's all old wood, will it be eaten by moths?" Although the style is old, the quality should be good.

Li Zheng turned his head and said something else: "If you buy this house, it will be good to divide the land. Just divide the land outside the forest, which is close to each other. The paddy field is fertile and close to the water source. I didn't give it to many people who wanted to change that land. .”

This is really good, but...

"Can I ask something?"

Lizheng had an ominous premonition: "You say."

"We only registered one head to distribute the land, but he didn't come, can he distribute it on his behalf? Here, this is his younger brother." Jing Zhaoqiu pushed Yi Zhiyu in front of him.

"This one……"

"How about it?"

"Is the crown weak?"

Jing Zhaoqiu looked at Yi Zhiyu, it was hard to say that this looked like a weak man, and he smiled bitterly.

Jing Zhaoqiu throws the question back: "What do you think Li Zheng?" Maybe he is old and blind.

Lizheng shook his head: "I don't think so."

"That……"

"No way. Only when the one whose name is on the roster comes, we can share. This little brother will have to wait a few years." Lizheng shook his head.

"Since there is no land, there is no good in buying a house here." Jing Zhaoqiu also shook his head.Who knows when Yi Zhiyu will change back, if he doesn't come sooner or later, he will come at this time.

The best paddy fields are resold and sold, no matter what, they must be dozens of taels larger.But if it's gone, it's gone, Jing Zhaoqiu didn't have much pity, turned around and pulled Yi Zhiyu and left.And Heitu, who came with them, didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and he was still very confused about the series of developments.

"Hey wait!" Li Zheng stopped him.

"It doesn't matter if you don't get the land. The soil behind our house is also fertile. As long as it is opened, it will be yours directly. The imperial court encourages the development of wasteland, and the open wasteland does not need to pay any tax."

Jing Zhaoqiu didn't believe it: "Really good?"

Li Zheng assured: "Of course, there was a herb garden long ago. It was not planted later, and now I can still find some leftover herb plants that have not been eradicated."

"Let me, since you have said so, I don't want to bother you, you can say a price. Let's see if it's suitable." Jing Zhaoqiu took a casual look, and pressed Yi Zhiyu to keep him silent.

Li Zheng was a little hesitant about the original price.A house with such a large area in the county town costs 200 taels, but it must not be sold in the village.He originally planned to carry it to eighty or ninety taels if he was lucky, and six or seventy taels if he was not lucky.

But now it's not so sure.After all, this is just a house in the village, so it couldn't be better.

Li Zheng was groping and probing: "Bashi..." Before Bashi could utter a word, Yi Zhiyu interrupted.

Jing Zhaoqiu swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Yi Zhiyu tapped the scratches on the door panel: "This is the wolf's paw print."

!Li Zheng's expression changed immediately.

This house is very good, but there is another reason why it has not been sold.

Close to the foot of the mountain and away from the village is because there are wolves on the mountain.These wolves sometimes go down the mountain, usually howling and seeping people, and no one leaves the village at night.This house alone outside the village is naturally even more incomplete.

Even if Jing Zhaoqiu didn't know how to read any paw prints, he knew it just by looking at the face that changed in an instant.Heitu was also shocked, he had been working as a carpenter in the city with his master, and only came back to live here occasionally, so he didn't know that there were wolves at night here.

Li Zheng was sweating profusely, he shouldn't have kept this a secret from the beginning, but now it really can't end.

Li Zheng stammered: "Yes, there are wolves, but they don't come often. The ones that don't come often...never before..."

"The paw prints are new." Yi Zhiyu interjected coldly.

"Cough...cough...that's..."

Jing Zhaoqiu said with a heck, "So that's the case, could it be that the two of you are working together to deceive the two of us?"

Heitu waved his hand: "I really don't know..." Now not only can't get the travel expenses, but also offended others.In the future, I really need to find out clearly before introducing, why did he never meet a wolf when he came back to live.I never saw it when I was a kid!

Lizheng answered honestly: "It's the wolves from the previous year. There were no wolves before. When they first came, there were only a dozen or so, but now they have grown into a whole pack. Now no one dares to go up the mountain, because they are afraid of encountering this pack of wolves. To collect herbs, they take long detours to further mountains.”

The villagers were afraid of attracting strange eyes from others, so they didn't talk about it, so Heitu, who hadn't been back for a few years, didn't know much about it.I haven't asked, and no one will take the initiative to bring it up.

Jing Zhaoqiu asked: "I'm afraid this is the reason why the owner sold this house. The two weak girls moved to the city after they found out that there were wolves?"

Li Zheng felt ashamed, knowing that this deal might be blown.In fact, Jing Zhaoqiu himself didn't even plan to buy it. After all, compared with wolves, humans are still fragile.

He was about to ask Li to introduce another house while he was feeling guilty, when Yi Zhiyu interjected.From the beginning to the end, Yi Zhiyu said very little, but every time he hit the nail on the head, Jing Zhaoqiu naturally didn't stop him.

But still surprised a bit.

Jing Zhaoqiu stammered: "Buy, buy it?" Wolf, wolf, a little scary.

Li Zheng didn't know how to put on his expression.This, this, he has never seen a person who knows that there are wolves and does not run away but insists on staying.

"Are you sure?" Li Zheng suspected that he had heard wrong.

"I know how to repel wolves. If it doesn't work, or..." In the middle of speaking, he suddenly pressed Jing Zhaoqiu's wrist, lowered his voice and only whispered in his ear, "Kill him directly."

Jing Zhaoqiu's back suddenly shivered, and he suddenly realized that this dog was never a gentle puppy, but a beast with fangs!

Even if he looks like a teenager now!

"What's wrong with you?" Yi Zhiyu clenched his hand even more, "I told you not to be afraid, there is me."

"It's nothing." Jing Zhaoqiu calmed down after pouring a basin of cold water on it, "Since you still think so, then buy it." It just doesn't look like you bought anything at all, at most it looks like you're sending Yi Zhiyu away.

It's just that his attitude towards Yi Zhiyu suddenly became stiff. Of course, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

Li Zheng shook his head, the house would be sold as soon as it could be sold, and it was useless if it rotted in his hands.

"Then...then 30 taels?" Li Zheng didn't give up, and wanted to struggle a bit more.This house is so beautiful, if there are no wolves, he would like to buy it himself.

Jing Zhaoqiu shook his head.

Li Zheng gritted his teeth, and went all out: "...20 taels."

Jing Zhaoqiu still shook his head.

Lizheng's face changed, the bargain was too hard.The cost can't be pulled back.

"Lizheng, don't worry, I didn't say press down."

Jing Zhaoqiu smiled, knowing why Lizheng's face changed.He didn't want to suppress anything, since he would be in the same village in the future, there was no need to offend a person who had an important say here, and it would be more beneficial for Li Zheng to keep this guilt.

Li Zheng wiped off his sweat, deeply aware that the two people in front of him were not simple.One looked weak, but he was ruthless and shrewd.One looked only in his teens, and his methods were not tender at all. Just by recognizing the wolf mark at a glance, he knew that he was not a small character.

"Then you mean..."

Jing Zhaoqiu smiled: "25 taels."

25 taels!It was higher than the lowest price he quoted!Li Zheng wondered what kind of idea this was.

"There is another request."

"You said."

"Our two brothers are big men with rough hands. We have a lot of money and troubles, and they are letting people clean the house, so as to save us two with rough hands and feet from not doing a good job."

When Li Zheng heard this, he immediately burst into a smile.

"Okay, okay, make sure you clean it up."

The biggest restaurant in Xinyang, Yipinzhai, has the highest monthly salary, which is only four qian silver per month. This is nothing more than sweeping an unoccupied house.Moreover, the five taels are not counted in the house, and he gets it all for nothing, which couldn't be better.

"Then it will be troublesome." Jing Zhaoqiu cupped his hands, "As for the paperwork, I will leave it tomorrow, okay?"

"Of course, then I'll find someone to clean it now." Li Zheng left in a hurry after finishing speaking.

Jing Zhaoqiu still has a problem.

25 taels is very cheap.

But he didn't.
