Chapter 228 Buying a House

Although Ma Zhongcai did not respond to Manager Chen's question, his eyes dodged, which showed a guilty conscience.

Manager Chen's heart dropped.

I just wanted to kill Ma Zhongcai.

When they heard about the human flesh buns, even Ning Chuyi and Dali Temple Qing changed their expressions.

Seeing the three skeletons, everyone speculated on the reason why Ma Zhongcai killed them, but no one thought that he actually wanted to make human meat buns.

Although the ancestors of Ma Zhongcai's family had a minor official, he was not wealthy. When it passed to him, the only remaining family property was this house.

After Ma Zhongcai married his wife, the couple rented a shop to sell steamed buns.

The person in charge of making steamed buns is his wife, and the business used to be okay.

But since his wife fell ill and passed away, the buns made by Ma Zhongcai didn't taste good and the business was even worse.

The already poor days are even worse. They can hardly even afford meat for making steamed buns.

Ma Zhongcai actually set his sights on those wandering orphan girls.

Using steamed buns as a temptation, they were lured to their homes and killed, and then their flesh was cut off and minced to make steamed buns.

Other bits and pieces, as well as blood, bones, etc., were all buried under the chrysanthemums.

It's just that Ma Zhongcai is not good at cooking, and the buns he makes are not delicious. His method is of little use, and not many people buy his buns.

Fortunately, the buns he made were not delicious, so he didn't kill more people.

Ma Zhongcai didn't dare to complain, for fear that those puppet souls would also kill him and make him a dumpling.

But he didn't admit his crime, he just kept silent.

The Minister of Dali Temple planned to take him back for further interrogation.

Ling Chu stopped him, "Sir, there is a chrysanthemum in the second yard. It's best to dig it up and take a look."

The expression of the minister of Dali Temple changed, and he immediately ordered the officials he brought to dig.

After a cup of tea, two skeletons were dug out from the flowers as they entered the courtyard.

Ma Zhongcai collapsed on the ground in despair, knowing that he was finished.

After killing so many people, he would definitely die.

No one present sympathized with him.

If he said that he killed those people because he had hatred towards them, everyone would understand.

But his behavior is obviously a psychopathic and twisted behavior.

Manager Chen just took one look at those skeletons and vomited until he was speechless.

The guards in uniform couldn't help but sympathize with him. I think Manager Chen would never touch a meat bun again in his life.

The Minister of Dali Temple had Ma Zhongcai escorted back to Dali Temple, and the bones were also carried away.

Ma Zhongcai killed so many people, his house will definitely be sealed by the government.

Although it was a pity that the house was not purchased, Ling Chu avenged those girls who died tragically and reaped their merits, so this trip was not in vain.

Ling Chu was about to leave with the maid, but Ning Chuyi stopped her.

"You want to buy a house and set up a household. Are you planning to move away from everyone in the Ling Mansion?"

"Yes." Ling Chu didn't hide it, but he didn't elaborate on the reason either.

Ning Chuyi was not in Kyoto during this period, so she didn't know what happened to her.

I wanted to ask, but felt that it was a bit abrupt given the relationship between the two of them.

"There is a four-door courtyard on Qintai Street. It is the private property of a friend of mine. He originally asked me to help him sell it.

Since you happen to want to buy a house, you can go take a look and if it is suitable, you might as well buy it.

The house was surrounded by some official families, and it was quiet there.

Although it's a bit more expensive, you don't have to worry about safety if you live with a girl there. "

Ling Chu remembered that Qintai Street was also in Xicheng, but, "As far as I know, houses in Xicheng are very popular. It shouldn't be difficult to sell your friend's house.

The house in Sijin is in Xicheng, so the price must not be cheap.

I don't have much money in my hands, and it's enough to buy a small courtyard with two entrances.

However, thank you for your kindness. "

"Houses in Xicheng are indeed in demand, but my friend's house did not ask a dental shop to help him deal with it. Therefore, outsiders did not know that his house was for sale.

The house is old, but well maintained. If my friend hadn't been an official in another place and needed money urgently, he wouldn't have planned to sell it.

The price is not expensive, only one thousand two hundred taels.

I have visited the house and the price is quite reasonable. It would be a pity if you missed it. "

The price of a house in the fourth part of Xicheng is only 1,200 taels, which is a great deal.

Ling Chu was inevitably moved.

Ning Chuyi lowered his eyes and glanced, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "If you are short of money, I can lend you the money first. Later, when you make money, I will pay you back slowly."

Ling Chu shook his head, "That's not necessary. I still have a piece of jade in my hand. I can sell it for silver."

"Okay, I have something to go to the palace, so let Wei Feng take you to see the house. If you are satisfied, let Wei Feng help you go to the Yamen to transfer the ownership.

As for setting up a household, leave it to him as well. If he comes forward, the people at the Yamen will not be in trouble. "

Ling Chu was overjoyed when she heard this. She was having a headache about setting up a household. Ning Chuyi was willing to let Wei Feng help her, which was what she wanted.

He was so happy that he even gave Ning Chuyi a rainbow fart.

Ning Chuyi raised her lips, gave Wei Feng a few instructions, and left with the others.

Wei Feng silently glanced at his retreating figure and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

They adults really spared no effort to help Miss Ling.

Not only did he sell his private property at a low price, but he was also afraid that Miss Ling would be embarrassed to accept his help, so he said that the house belonged to his friend.

If he didn't know that the adults helped many times for the emperor's sake, he would almost think that Ning Chuyi had a crush on Miss Ling.

Ling Chu didn't know Wei Feng's complaints and followed him to Qintai Street in a carriage.

Ling Chu originally thought that the house with four entrances was only sold for 1,200 taels, and it was estimated that it was quite dilapidated inside, but the actual situation was just the opposite.

"Wei Feng, did your master remember the price wrongly? Could this house be 12,000 taels?"

Wei Feng knew she would doubt it, and hurriedly brought out the excuse he had thought of long ago, "It is indeed 1,200 taels, our master did not remember it wrongly.

The reason why it was sold so cheaply is that this house was originally the outer house of the master's friend, and his family did not know the existence of this house.

His mistress died of illness two years ago, and he did not want to keep this house to remind people of her, so he thought of selling it. Although the mistress was dead, she was very favored during her lifetime, and the plum trees in the yard were planted specifically for her.

The only request of the master's friend was that the plum trees could not be cut down."

Ling Chu was speechless. The mistress died and wanted to sell the house, but she also required that the plum trees must be left.

It was just a few trees, so there was no problem keeping them.

Wei Feng secretly wiped his sweat when he heard her decide to buy the house.

Fortunately, he was smart and made up such an excuse, so he didn't ruin the adults' business.
