Chapter 1133 Settlement (Two Chapters in One)
When he was asking for information in Dongwu City before, Lin Li chose a teahouse. Now he wanted to ask about the situation in Shuanghe City, so he naturally chose the teahouse here.
There was no teahouse on this street, so Lin Li stopped a passerby on the roadside and asked where the teahouse was. The other party told him that there was a teahouse on another street, not far away.
After a while, Lin Li came to another street and found the teahouse.
As soon as he entered the teahouse, the staff of the teahouse came forward to greet him very warmly.
"Are you alone, sir?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to drink tea in the lobby on the first floor, or in a separate room upstairs?"
"Drink tea in the lobby."
"Okay."
The waiter of the teahouse understood Lin Li's needs and led him to find an empty table to sit down.
Lunch had just finished, and he was not hungry, so Lin Li only asked for a pot of tea and a small plate of cakes.
The waiter left, and Lin Li pricked up his ears to listen to the conversations of the people drinking tea around him.
"It's not peaceful these days." A man with a beard sighed.
"Yes! Now I dare not play too late when I go out at night." The tall young man echoed.
"A big thing happened last night. I wonder if you have heard about it?" said the gentle middle-aged man.
"What big thing happened?" The bearded man and the tall young man asked in confusion. Judging from their expressions, they obviously did not know the big thing that happened last night.
"The son of the leader of the Qinghe Gang was assassinated by several masked men last night. Although he managed to escape, he was also seriously injured." The gentle middle-aged man said.
"Ah?!!!" The two were shocked when they heard it.
"No wonder I felt that the atmosphere on the street was a bit solemn when I went out this morning. It turned out that such a serious thing happened last night." The bearded man suddenly realized.
"I heard from my friend that the Dadao Gang urgently recruited backbone forces from all over the country.
I didn't know the reason at that time. Now that I heard you talk about it, I know what happened at once." The tall young man said.
"The Qinghe Gang and the Dadao Gang are mortal enemies. Now that the son of the leader of the Qinghe Gang has been assassinated, the first suspect they suspect is the Dadao Gang. The corresponding revenge may be implemented soon.
The Dadao Gang cannot sit still and wait for death. The recall of the backbone forces must be to deal with the revenge of the Qinghe Gang..." said the gentle middle-aged man.
"If the two gangs really fight over this matter, I don't know how many people will die at that time." The bearded man sighed.
"The government has also taken your concerns into consideration. Now there are more soldiers patrolling the streets, in order to make the two gangs have some scruples." The gentle middle-aged man said.
"Although there are more soldiers patrolling the streets, it can have an effect, but the effect is actually not much..." said the tall young man.
"Sir, your tea is here." The waiter came to the table with a pot of tea and a small plate of cakes.
"Thank you." Lin Li picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, then tasted the cakes.
"This cake tastes good, it would be better if the sugar could be put in a little less."
There were many guests drinking tea in the lobby on the first floor, and most of them were talking about the assassination that happened last night.
Lin Li stayed in the teahouse for half an hour and collected a lot of information.
"I had inquired about the situation in Dongwu City before, and now I know that the public security in Shuanghe City is worse than I knew at the time."
Lin Li came out of the teahouse and waited on the street for half a minute. An empty carriage appeared at the end of the street.
He raised his hand and waved. The driver saw it and immediately drove the carriage to Lin Li and stopped.
"Where are you going, sir?"
"I want to go to a nearby real estate agency."
Lin Li told the driver about his needs, and after negotiating the price, he got on the carriage.
"Go."
The driver waited for the guests to sit firmly, and immediately swung the reins in his hand.
The carriage turned around, and the tall horse gradually increased its running speed.
The carriage turned at the end of the street, and drove along the street, finally stopping at the door of a simply decorated real estate agency.
"Sir, we're here."
"Thank you,"
Lin Li got off the car, paid the bill, and then walked to a shop not far away.
There were many customers in this shop covering an area of more than 100 square meters. When Lin Li walked into the shop, a smiling man in his thirties came over.
"Hello, is there anything you need?"
"I want to buy a house, preferably one with a yard. Do you have one here?" Lin Li said.
"Yes, please follow me over here." The agent led Lin Li to a table, and he reached out and picked up a picture album from the table and handed it to Lin Li.
Having bought a house in Dongwu City before, Lin Li knew that there were many pictures and introductions of houses in this picture album. When he opened the picture album, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"The style of these houses is quite special."
The agent explained with a smile, "This style came from the imperial capital and is now very popular in the city.
If you don't like it, I also have traditional-style houses..."
After that, the agent picked up another album from the table and handed it to Lin Li.
The houses in the first album were all villa-style, with a modern style.
The houses in the second album that Lin Li was looking at were all local styles, mainly courtyard houses.
After a while, the agent saw Lin Li flipping through all the albums, so he asked, "Are there any that you like?"
Lin Li nodded, picked up the first album, turned to a page, and said.
"This house looks good to me. Can you take me to see it in person?"
When the agent saw the house Lin Li chose, his eyes lit up. Thinking that he had met a big client this time, he immediately entertained Lin Li more enthusiastically.
The two walked out of the store and got on the carriage arranged by the store.
"Mr. Lin has a good eye. The area where the house is located is very close to the military camp, and the public security is much better than other places." The agent complimented.
This time when Lin Li bought a house in Shuanghe City, he still chose a modern villa. The main reason was that the area where the house was located was close to the military camp, and there was a certain guarantee of safety.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the destination.
Lin Li and the agent got off the car, and a large villa not far away came into view.
The area of the villa in front of them was twice as large as the villa bought in Dongwu City. The residential area was not much larger, mainly because the yard was larger.
The agent took out the key from his pocket, opened the door, and then led Lin Li around the villa.
"If you don't like this goldfish pond, we can fill it up for you."
"Yes."
Lin Li looked at the goldfish swimming in the pond, but he didn't think about filling it up.
After a while, Lin Li, led by the agent, looked at the whole house.
"Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with this house?" The agent looked at Lin Li expectantly and asked nervously.
"It's better than I expected. I want this house." Lin Li said with a smile.
The agent was very happy to get a definite answer.
He hadn't sold a house for more than a month, and his life was very tight.
Now that such a big deal has been completed, and the whole process is extremely smooth, the commission he will get later can greatly improve his life.
If Lin Li was not still in front of him, he really wanted to cheer loudly.
Lin Li and the agent returned to the store, and the relevant procedures were quickly completed.
After paying a large sum of money and getting the property certificate, Lin Li got on a carriage with the agent's farewell.
"Mr. Lin, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. As long as I can do it, I will never hesitate."
"Yes."
Lin Li smiled and nodded, then took the carriage back to the inn.
…………
In the quiet room.
Qin Muqing moved a chair and sat down in front of the window, admiring the street view outside the window.
A carriage drove from a distance and stopped at the door of the inn.
Qin Muqing was a little surprised to see a familiar figure getting off the car.
"You're back so soon?"
Not long after, someone knocked on the door of the room.
Lin Li stood at the door and waited for a few seconds. The door opened and Qin Muqing appeared in front of him.
"I have bought a house. You pack your things and we will go to the new house now."
"Yes." Qin Muqing nodded and went to pack his things.
As before, Lin Li helped Qin Muqing put away a package.
Then, the two went to the counter on the first floor to find someone to check out the room.
When they came out of the inn, an empty carriage had been parked on the side of the road.
This empty carriage was exactly the one Lin Li had just taken. He told the driver about the situation and asked him to wait for a moment.
The two got on the carriage, and the driver followed his instructions, swinging the reins and carrying them to their destination.
"You bought a house so quickly?"
"Buying a house is not a difficult thing. Find a real estate agent and it will be done soon."
Qin Muqing nodded, and she turned her head to look out the window.
Lin Li asked, "Are you worried about something?"
"No!"
"If you have any, you can tell me, don't keep it in your heart."
"Yeah."
"We're going to eat outside tonight. Do you want to eat anything?"
"No need to spend so much money, we can eat at home."
"I'm tired after sitting on the boat for a few days. Let's eat outside first and have a good rest today."
Lin Li and Qin Muqing chatted, and soon the carriage stopped.
The two got off the car, and Lin Li pointed to the house in front of him and said with a smile, "This house is our new home."
"The house is so big." Qin Muqing said in surprise.
"The house is not big, but the yard is big, and there is a goldfish pond in the yard." Lin Li introduced briefly.
After paying the fare, the driver drove the carriage away, and the two entered the new home.
For this strange new home, Qin Muqing followed Lin Li around and got familiar with everything in the house as soon as possible.
"Are these goldfish not fed?" Qin Muqing stood in front of the goldfish pond in the yard, looking at the listless goldfish in the water, and said.
"I don't know." Lin Li said, took out a piece of cake from the mysterious island, broke off a small piece and threw it into the pond.
"Splash, splash, splash..."
The cake fell into the pond, causing a huge reaction in an instant, and the little goldfish scrambled for food, and many splashes of water splashed.
"Looking at them like this, it should be as you guessed, many of them are not fed."
"Yeah." Qin Muqing nodded.
Lin Li took out some more cakes from the mysterious island and gave them all to Qin Muqing.
"You feed them next. I'll go somewhere else."
"Okay."
Lin Li left, and Qin Muqing broke the cake in her hand into pieces and threw them into the pond.
The little goldfish had been hungry for many days, and now there was food, they all went crazy for it.
A lot of water splashed, forcing Qin Muqing to step back a few steps, otherwise the splashing water would wet her shoes.
"I have a lot of food here, you don't have to fight so fiercely." Qin Muqing said with a smile.
Afterwards, Lin Li and Qin Muqing settled down in their new home. There was still a lot of time before dinner, so Lin Li said a few words to Qin Muqing and went out.
Before the sun went down, Lin Li planned to walk around and learn more about Shuanghe City.
In this residential area, the houses are very new.
Lin Li learned from the agent that the residential area in front of him was built less than a year ago.
Because the price is high, so far, one-third of the houses have not been sold.
However, the location here is good, and it is close to the military camp. At most, in another year, the remaining unsold houses will be sold out.
Lin Li walked aimlessly along the wide street. When he left the residential area, the road under his feet widened instantly.
The main road was busy with traffic, and passers-by on both sides of the street came and went in an endless stream.
The residential area was relatively quiet. Lin Li saw the main road, with countless shops on both sides of the street, and the noise was endless.
"I wonder if there are any shops selling spiritual weapons on this street. If there are, I can take a look."
Lin Li entered the main road, and his eyes fell on the shops on the street from time to time.
This street has a large flow of customers, and the shops he has seen are doing very good business.
Lin Li walked and walked, and suddenly stopped.
Just now he was wondering if there were any shops selling spiritual weapons on this street. He had only walked for less than ten minutes and encountered one.
The shop selling spiritual weapons does not occupy a large area, estimated to be no more than 100 square meters, but the shop is divided into three floors, upper, middle and lower, which is still not small when added together.
Lin Li walked into the shop selling spiritual weapons and saw a man about his age dozing off in the corner.
Just now he was strolling on this street, and every shop he saw had many customers shopping, but in front of him, there was no customer except him.
"Why is the business of this store so bad?"
"Is it because the spiritual weapons sold in the store are terrible, so there are no customers?"
Lin Li was a little confused. The man who was dozing off in the distance heard the footsteps and quickly woke up.
When he saw Lin Li, he quickly approached and greeted him with a smile.
"Welcome."
"Hello."
"Sir, please tell me if you need anything."
"Let me take a look first."
"Okay."
The salesperson followed Lin Li and enthusiastically introduced the spiritual weapons on the display cabinet.
Lin Li walked around the first floor and then went to the second floor.
He saw the salesperson was going to follow him to the second floor, so he asked the other party.
"Come with me to the second floor. No one is watching on the first floor. Aren't you afraid of losing things?"
After listening to what Lin Li said, the salesperson said nonchalantly, "No one dares to steal things from our Kuangfeng Gang."
