At the same time, in Shang Jing City, Xia Pingan was in a restaurant. While eating the fragrant and exquisite soup dumplings and various snacks in front of him, he was sizing up a mansion that occupied dozens of acres in the distance.
On both sides of the mansion's entrance, there were two white jade carved gatekeeper lions.
On the entrance of the mansion, there was a plaque with the words "Hong Mansion" written on it.
Looking from the restaurant, one could only see the mansion's richly ornamented beams and painted rafters. Faintly, one could see that it was a wealthy family.
The owner of the mansion was the president of the Shang Jing Business Association, Hong Defa.
The Shang Jing Business Association was a reputable business association in Shang Jing City. It was said that they were backed by nobles in the imperial court. The president of the business association, Hong Defa, was also a well-known wealthy businessman in Shang Jing City.
It was noon, and the streets outside the Hong Manor were bustling with activity. The few servants standing at the entrance of the Hong Manor were looking at the people coming and going with high spirits. Two beggars in ragged clothes were just about to take a break under the shadow of a tree beside the Hong Manor when the servants of the Hong Manor immediately came over aggressively and chased the two beggars away, kicking and scolding them.
Xia Pingan didn't go to Beihai Harbor to join in the fun. It was too dangerous for him, so he didn't bother.
It was fine as long as he stayed in Shang Jing City. Beihai Harbor and Shang Jing City were both under the same sky. As the situation there changed, Shang Jing City wouldn't be peaceful either. As long as he looked at the situation in Shang Jing City, he would know what was going on in Beihai Harbor.
In the private room, sitting opposite Xia Pingan was a broker from the real estate brokerage house. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked simple and honest, with a plump body and bright eyes. He had been talking to Xia Pingan for a few days.
It wasn't easy to meet a big client like Xia Pingan.
Moreover, rich people were picky.
Seeing Xia Pingan looking at that mansion outside the window from time to time, the broker also smiled, "Mr. Yang, that mansion belongs to the Hong family of the president of Shang Jing Business Group. If Mr. Yang likes it, we can also find such a mansion. It's just that its location is a bit remote. Although it's not as boisterous as Tianmen Square Avenue, it has a nice environment and is tranquil. This mansion of the Hong family is well-known in Shang Jing City. It's worth at least 500,000 gold coins …"
"I can't afford 500,000 gold coins. It's too expensive. Let's talk about the shop. Can you lower the price a bit? 43600 gold coins. It's too expensive!" Xia Pingan smiled as he haggled with the broker.
At this moment, Xia Pingan noticed that there were some abnormalities on the street outside the Hong Family's mansion. The density of the street vendors and pedestrians had unknowingly increased. The Hong Family's mansion was already surrounded by people.
A group of men and horses from Mount Ping were hurriedly rushing towards this place.
On the other side of the palace, Field Officer Xu, who had just changed into casual clothes and walked out of the palace, met one of his senior officers and two of his colleagues on the street. When the four people were talking, Field Officer Xu's senior officers and his colleagues acted at the same time and restrained Field Officer Xu almost instantly.
Field Officer Xu's senior officer's face was cold. In an instant, more than ten strange needles were inserted into Field Officer Xu's body. Field Officer Xu's body softened and fell to the ground.
Since Shang Jing City had acted, it meant that Beihai Harbor had also acted.
Xia Pingan smiled slightly and took another bite of the tender and juicy bun with a leisurely expression.
… …
"Young Master Yang, that shop is not expensive at all. Think about it, that place is on Tianyuan Bridge. How could it be cheap? Additionally, the place that Young Master Yang likes is the best. It faces the street and is next to the square in the middle of the street. Behind the shop, there's a courtyard, an attic, and a few large rooms. It's suitable for people to live in and do business there. Previously, there was an art gallery there, but it was renovated not long ago. Everything is new now. Including the furniture, there are only a few shops and courtyards on Tianyuan Bridge that are on sale …"
There are not many shops in Shang Jing City in Shang Jing City. "The middleman tried his best to introduce," If Young Master Yang thinks it's too expensive, I can give you a discount of half of my brokerage fee. Then, I will talk to the landlord and try to round off the 600 gold coins. After negotiating for a few days, this is the best we can get. If this is not possible, then we really have no other choice. Young Master Yang, even if you travel all over Shang Jing City, you won't be able to find a better one! "
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Pingan nodded, "Okay, you can talk to the landlord. If he can reduce the price by another 600 gold coins, I will settle it in a couple of days!"
600 gold coins was not a small amount. He could buy two common Realm Pearls with that amount of gold coins.
At this time, the price of the house had been reduced from 45000 gold coins to 43000 gold coins. Although Xia Pingan still felt a bit reluctant, he could still accept it.
"Okay, Young Master Yang, just wait for my news!" The middleman stood up and was about to leave.
"Have something to eat before you leave. It's my treat. Don't be shy …"
"Enjoy your meal, Young Master Yang. I will help you settle it!" The middleman smiled as he directly left and quickly went downstairs.
… …
Less than two minutes after the middleman left, many pedestrians and peddlers on the street outside Hong's mansion instantly took action. They immediately took down some servants outside Hong's mansion and directly rushed into the gate of Hong's mansion.
The street was in a panic at once.
The two guards outside Hong's mansion tore off their clothes and revealed the Judgement Army's uniform and waist tag. They shouted, "The Judgement Army is handling a case. All unrelated personnel, please leave!"
Hong's mansion was in chaos.
The Judgement Army that rushed over immediately surrounded Hong's mansion and sealed off the nearby streets. Not even a mosquito was allowed to fly out.
… …
Slurp. Xia Pingan drank a mouthful of rose porridge and looked at everything that was happening in the distance with satisfaction.
It was strange. After knowing that he had to become a God to be able to destroy the Dark Tower, Xia Pingan's pressure completely disappeared. He threw the matter of the Dark Tower to the back of his mind and relaxed. However, he was full of energy, as if he was starting a new life.
At this moment, Xia Pingan was Young Master Yang from Yang City. He had just arrived in Shang Jing City and was a summoner and dream master. He was preparing to make a name for himself in Shang Jing City.
In a different state of mind, Shang Jing City had a different feel to it in Xia Pingan's eyes. It seemed to have become more amiable and approachable.
After Xia Pingan finished his meal, he went down the restaurant. Outside Hong's mansion, there were already pitch-black prison wagons. Everyone in Hong's mansion was taken out and sent to the prison wagons. The door of Hong's mansion was also sealed … …
Besides the Hong's mansion, the Medical Saint Hall in Shang Jing City and the Great Wan Guild Hall were also sealed at the same time.
The Judgement Army attacked everywhere and shook the entire Shang Jing City.
Xia Pingan had just bought a bunch of Realm Pearls and was preparing to eat his buns and porridge before returning to Changle Alley to break through to the Two Sun Realm.
