Chapter 465 Interrogation
Accept your fate!
What a life!
There is no need to struggle anymore. The wind will bring you the wind, and the rain will bring the rain.
Let a few monsters help you plan everything, and you can easily reach the top of your life!
Why should we push out the good things that others only dream of?
A voice kept echoing in Xu Xian's mind. The fig leaf that Li Mu thoughtfully covered for Xu Xian instantly shook his mind.
After all, he is not a saint, but a mortal with seven emotions and six desires. The decision he made before is already remarkable.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Xian decided to be reserved for the last time: "Brother Li, I have to go to Qing Yu Tang to help the master manage the medicine shop!"
Li Mu couldn't help but praise, "Awesome, little brother, I just want your inking skills!"
Li Mu didn't say anything, but Xiao Qing burst out: "Xu Xian, mother-in-law, aren't you a man? So many of us want to help you become a man who stands upright, but you are still resisting. Can you still have some courage?"
"Xiao Qing!" Bai Suzhen glared at Xiao Qing angrily, "Don't talk about your benefactor like that."
"Is that so?" Xiao Qing said dissatisfied, "Sister, we made it so clear that we are willing to help him with anything, but look at him, he still wants to go back as an apprentice, and he has no ambition at all."
Xu Xian was choked and blushed, and was speechless.
"Chinese, Xiaoqing has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart. Don't take his words to heart. However, what she said is right. Young people should live a free and easy life as young people and don't be hindered by worldly rules and regulations." Li Mu stopped him. He grabbed Xu Xian's shoulder and helped him out, "We have been cultivating all year round and are not very familiar with the worldly ways. When buying a house and purchasing items, we also need Chinese help..."
"Brother Li, I'll just go with you." Xu Xian glanced at Bai Suzhen who was still shy about speaking, straightened his chest, and suddenly made up his mind.
Xiaoqing's words woke him up, and if he continued to be reserved, even Bai Suzhen might look down on him. Even if he couldn't sleep with his beloved fairy, wouldn't it be a blessing to work with her?
…
"Brother Li, the yamen has very strict control over house sales. All house sales must go through the Jingjie Office. If there is no one in the yamen, it is really difficult for ordinary people to buy it!" In front of a group of monsters, Xu Xian showed off that he only had "You don't have a household registration, so it's really inconvenient for you to move around the world. I'll ask my brother-in-law to help you apply for a household registration some other day, so that you can have a formal identity."
"Thank you Hanwen." Li Mu smiled.
Previously, Xiaoqing had embezzled one thousand taels of silver, which alarmed the court and even the emperor put pressure on him. Now the amount has been increased to five thousand taels.
If the top officials were alarmed again, he might not be able to keep his position as Qiantang County Magistrate. At this time, how could Li Gongfu have any thoughts to help him obtain household registration?
Besides, household registration is of no use to them. Bai Suzhen's deception is enough to take care of everything.
Xu Xian asked again: "I wonder how big a house Brother Li plans to buy?"
"Of course, the bigger the better, otherwise, how can we highlight the identity of our benefactor?" Li Mu smiled, "It is best to have a high-profile family, complete with pavilions, pavilions, and gardens. The more luxurious the better."
Xu Xian was startled: "Brother Li, anyone who owns a house like this is either rich or noble. I'm afraid no one is willing to trade, right? Even if someone does trade, a house will cost a lot of money. It's far better to find it yourself." A piece of land, let’s find someone to build one!”
"How much does it cost?" Li Mu asked.
"I don't know the market price, but I heard from my brother-in-law that the mansion of the prefect of Hangzhou cost 20,000 guan. Qiantangmen is not as good as Hangzhou. If you buy a house according to Brother Li's standards, it will probably cost 10,000 guan!" Xu Xian After thinking for a while he said.
"How many taels of silver are ten thousand guan?" Li Mu frowned and asked.
"Two guans are equivalent to about one tael of silver!" Xu Xian looked at Li Xiaobai strangely, and was finally convinced that they were indeed monsters. How can ordinary people not even know the prices of goods!
…
In other words, their five thousand two is enough to buy a house?
I'm sorry that the house price bubble in the Song Dynasty was so artificially high!
Li Mu looked at Bai Suzhen, and suddenly felt that Xiaoqing had stolen too little money, five thousand taels, and he couldn't afford to be pretentious!
No wonder Bai Suzhen wanted to use her magic power to renovate Prince Qiu's Mansion because she couldn't afford a house!
Bai Suzhen also realized the problem and turned to look at Xu Xian: "Master, can Qiantang Gate find a suitable house now?"
Although he was talking to Li Xiaobai, Xu Xian's focus was always on Bai Suzhen. After hearing Bai Suzhen's question, he immediately left Li Xiaobai: "Miss Bai, I'm afraid it's not easy to find. Let's go to the dental shop and ask first. If there is no If appropriate, I will go to the Yamen and ask my brother-in-law if there will be any public housing bidding in the near future. House buying and selling is a major matter and should not be taken lightly..."
Just talking.
There was a commotion in the streets.
Several government officials in soap clothes hurriedly passed through the crowd, each with a gloomy face, and headed towards the city gate.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Miss Bai, the leader of the arrest is my brother-in-law!" Xu Xian excitedly raised his hand to Li Gongfu, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I'm here."
Li Gongfu turned his head and glanced this way, came to Xu Xian, frowned and asked: "Hanwen, if you don't study in Qingyu Hall, what are you doing here?"
"Brother-in-law, these are some friends I made at the West Lake yesterday. They came to Qiantangmen for the first time and want to settle here. I'm here to accompany them to buy a house!" Xu Xiandao said, "I'm about to take them to the Yamen to find my brother-in-law. Ask Are there any public housing biddings recently?"
"Friends?" Li Gongfu looked at Li Mu and others suspiciously. When he saw Bai Suzhen, his eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly moved away and his eyes stayed on the smart flying sword behind Li Mu. Putting his hand on the handle of the knife, "Who are you? Where are you registered?"
"..." Xu Xian's expression changed, and he stopped in front of Li Gongfu, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? They are all my friends, how can they interrogate someone's household registration as soon as they meet?"
"Han Wen, if it were the same as in the past, maybe I would even host a banquet to entertain your friends, but today's situation is special and we must interrogate their origins." Li Gongfu frowned.
"Han Wen, don't embarrass your brother-in-law. He has a public official's job and it's right to ask. He's doing it for your own good." Li Xiaobai patted Xu Xian on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"But you..." Xu Xian wanted to speak, but when he saw Li Mu shaking his head at him, he took the initiative to step aside.
"Captain Li, I heard in Chinese yesterday that his brother-in-law is fair and conscientious. When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation." Li Mu smiled, clasped his fists and saluted Li Gongfu, and said, "Our ancestral home is Furong City, Sichuan, and our home is next to it. Miss Bai Suzhen, something happened at home not long ago. The master and his wife both passed away, so she had no choice but to come to Jiangnan to find her relatives. However, the search failed, but she met Mr. Xu by the West Lake and wanted to buy a house in Qiantangmen with the help of Chinese characters. Today’s trip.”
"For those coming from Sichuan, is there a way?" Li Gongfu asked.
Bai Suzhen smiled gently, put her hand into her sleeve, and handed Li Gongfu a ball of air.
Li Gongfu seemed to be holding a piece of paper, checking it over and over again, and then handed the air back to Bai Suzhen: "Lu Yin is right."
Seeing this scene, Xu Xian's eyes almost popped out, and he swallowed lightly.
This is true witchcraft!
He always ignores that these people are monsters!
No wonder they were all so calm, it made him worry for nothing.
Xu Xian asked tentatively: "Brother-in-law, is it okay?"
"I can't see the problem for now, but I've only known her for a day and asked you to buy a house. There must be something wrong." Li Gongfu looked at Bai Suzhen and asked, "Miss Bai, what do you do for a living?"
"Back to Capt. We are in the soap business." Li Hailong took out two pieces of soap from his backpack with a smile and handed them to Li Gongfu's hands. "Jiangnan is rich. We settled here to expand the soap industry."
He handed the two silver ingots to Li Gongfu and said, "Boss Li, it's just a small thing to invite brothers to drink."
