MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 21 you were fooled
Chapter 21 You were cheated
"What, how can you live in such a puppet house! How can you be so content with letting us buy such a house..." The second lady glared at the horse jailer angrily, if it hadn't been for these lowly jailers who had killed them Their jewelry was taken away, and now they are not penniless.
Although the others didn't say anything, they all looked horrified when they remembered that Miss Six was possessed by a puppet spirit in prison.
At this time, everyone was talking about asking the horse jailer to change the place.
Ma Dalin had a wry smile on his face, "There is a lot of money in Kyoto, and there are so many people in your house. It's really hard to find a suitable house for a while."
South City and North City are not suitable, they are messy and mixed.
Previously, the Shangshu Mansion was in Xicheng, and all the people living there were powerful families in Kyoto.
But now that they have been demoted to common people, they are no longer suitable to live there.
Now only Dongcheng is more suitable, but the houses in Dongcheng are not cheap. Although there are few official families living there, it is where wealthy businessmen gather, which causes the housing prices there to rise year by year.
There are houses for rent and sale over there, but there really aren't any that are suitable for the Ling family's situation.
They are now penniless. Miss Ling only has two accessories on her body. Even if they are all pawned at a **** shop, they probably won't be able to buy a house.
Ling Chu glanced at the crowd and ignored them. He turned to the jailer Ma and asked, "Uncle Ma, what is the situation in that house? Please tell me."
Others are afraid of puppets, but Ling Chu is not.
Ma Dalin also saw that the sixth girl was possessed by a puppet spirit last night. Others were helpless, but she was able to do it in a few moments. Thinking that Miss Ling was capable and perhaps not afraid of puppet souls, he thought of introducing the house to her.
"The house is in the east. Although it is not on the busy street, it is a little off. But it is said that there are three people entering it. Because of the puppets at night, the house has been unable to be sold. The price has dropped again and again. Now I heard that the price is one hundred and fifty taels."
The price of a three-level house is not expensive. "Uncle Ma, does he know why the house is so troubled?"
"I heard that the house was originally bought by a businessman as a gift to a girl named Liu who wanted to get married. But then I heard that the businessman died in an accident when he went out to purchase goods before the wedding. The woman didn't want to see things and miss her. , so I want to sell the house.
At that time, the house had just been built and was quickly bought. However, after the new buyer moved in, he discovered that there were always strange noises at night. His child is always crying day and night, saying that there is a puppet following him. The buyer was worried that something might happen to his child, so he vacated the house.
Later on, the house passed through several hands, but no matter who it was sold to, they were all returned in the end because the house was troubled. "
In the end, the price of the house dropped again and again, but it still couldn't be sold, and even the dental shop couldn't do anything about it.
Ma Dalin didn’t know the specific details, so he could only ask Ling Chu to go to Yahang to inquire.
Lingchu asked for the address of Qingya Store and decided to go and see the condition of the house in person.
Seeing that she really wanted to buy the house, Ms. Dong frowned and said, "Sister Chu, your eldest brother is weak. Since the house is not clean, why not change it to another one."
Seeing her opening her mouth, the second lady quickly said, "Girl, your grandparents are old and cannot be frightened. Let's forget about the puppet house."
Everyone was still frightened when they thought about what happened to the sixth girl last night, and they all tried to dissuade her.
"I have lived in Xuanqingguan for many years and learned some skills from my master. I am confident that I can handle a puppet house. However, if you have other places to go, you can leave."
Others still wanted to persuade, but Ling Shangshu glanced at the eldest granddaughter with complicated eyes and said, "Sister Chu, you know the situation at home now. Everyone is penniless and has no other place to go. We Let me go see the house with you first and then make a decision.”
The head of the family has spoken, and others can only hold back their opinions.
Ling Chu did not object and nodded in agreement.
The group of people supported each other and went to find Yaxing according to the address provided by the horse warden. With so many people walking through the streets, it naturally attracts pointers from passers-by.
The second lady and the others felt embarrassed, and they wanted Ling Chu to pay for some carriages.
However, Ling Chu bluntly said that she had no money, so if anyone wanted to ride in a carriage, they could just hire it themselves, and she would not spoil them.
She was so weak that she didn't say anything. On the contrary, everyone wanted to ride in the carriage without looking at what was going on. Seeing that she ignored her, the second lady was holding back her anger, but she didn't dare to get angry at her.
Everyone in the Shangshu Mansion usually goes out either on horseback or in a sedan chair. They were tired and out of breath after walking all the way. By the time they arrived in Dongcheng, it was already noon.
Ling Chu looked at the sky and sighed. There were so many people following her, and they were dragging their feet, which seriously affected her speed. If we continue like this, we won’t even reach Yahang by the time it gets dark.
She doesn’t want to sleep on the streets tonight. There are countless ghosts wandering the streets at night, and she doesn’t have the energy to deal with them.
While passing by a tea shed, Ling Chu took out ten cents and asked the stall owner for permission to let everyone rest in his tea shed.
The second lady walked for a long time and was tired and thirsty. When she saw that she only had boiled water to drink, her expression immediately changed.
“Girl, why is there only a bowl of water here...”
Lingchu didn't wait for her to finish, and pointed to a short distance away, "Second Aunt, there's a restaurant over there. You can go in, and I won't stop you."
Whatever you want to eat, just go in and order it.
It’s just money, so don’t let her pay.
After drinking a bowl of boiled water, Ling Chu left everyone behind and went to Yaxing alone to look at the house.
Ling Shangshu is too old to walk. She wants people to follow her, but no one is willing to move.
When he arrived at Yaxing, Ling Chu asked, and it was indeed as the jailer Ma said, there was a house, but not a suitable one.
“I heard that there was a disturbance in a house. Can you tell me specifically what the situation was?”
The steward of Yahang saw her as a girl and didn't want to pay attention to it. However, seeing Ling Chu insisting and being bored, he still told him everything about the house.
What surprised Lingchu was that the house was now sold for one hundred and twenty taels.
The steward may have seen that the house had been vacated a lot, so he did not hide it. It turned out that the wife of the last buyer of the house was so frightened that she broke her leg when she went to the hut in the middle of the night.
The woman held a grudge in her heart, and after her legs and feet healed, she spread the news everywhere that the house was troubled. Miss Liu had no choice but to lower the price again.
This is a good thing for Lingchu.
She didn’t hesitate much and asked Manager Yaxing to take her to see the house.
The steward saw that she was really interested in the house, so he hurriedly agreed and took her to see the house immediately.
The house is quite big, although the yard is overgrown with weeds, there are some spider webs inside the house, and a lot of dust has accumulated. But it's not a big problem. If you clean it carefully, you can move in tonight.
Lingchu took a general look at the entire house, but she didn't feel anything unclean in the house.
“Manager Chen, I want this house. I wonder if I can ask the owner to go to the Yamen to apply for the contract now?”
The manager of Yaxing was very happy when he heard that she really wanted to buy this house. "Okay, I will take you there now."
At this moment, a puppet soul appeared and said urgently to Lingchu, "Xiangu, you have been deceived. This house belongs to me..."
