Half an hour later, Wang Changsheng, who had eaten his fill, followed the middle-aged man out of the restaurant and walked towards the west of the city.
The middle-aged man gave Wang Tu a favor while trying to find out about Wang Changsheng's background.
Wang Changsheng was prepared for this. He lied that he was a subordinate of a powerful official, but he did not say which official it was.
Knowing that Wang Changsheng was a subordinate of a powerful official, the middle-aged man's smile became even more flattering. His words were full of flattery.
"By the way, Boss Qian, when we entered the city, the soldiers guarding the gate were holding a portrait in their hands. They seemed to be searching for someone. Why, do you often have bandits here?" Wang Changsheng asked casually.
"Oh, you're talking about this! Fortunately, he was discovered in time by Good Samaritan Li and called others, which scared the man away. Who would have thought that the man was crazy and set fire to the entire Taoist temple in an attempt to silence them. Fortunately, Good Samaritan Li and Miss Li escaped, but the Taoist priests in the temple and the believers who stayed overnight were burned to death. For this reason, the government posted notices in every county to arrest the man, but more than half a month has passed, and the man has not been caught. I guess he hid in the deep mountains and was bitten to death by wild beasts! "
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng nodded and did not think much of it.
Not long after, the middle-aged man brought Wang Changsheng to a manor that occupied several acres of land.
The manor's door was closed. A plaque hung on the door with the words "Zhou Manor" written on it.
Boss Qian walked in front and knocked on the door.
Not long after, a hunchbacked old man with white hair and a beard walked out.
"You are?"
"I am the shopkeeper of Thyme Incense, Qian Fu. I know that your young master wants to sell the manor, so I brought this young master here to buy it." Boss Qian went straight to the point.
Hearing this, the hunchbacked old man frowned slightly. He sighed and said, "Come with me!"
"Young Master, please." Boss Qian nodded and gestured for Wang Changsheng to leave first.
Wang Changsheng did not stand on ceremony and took the lead to enter.
This manor was indeed not bad. The courtyards were connected, and there were artificial mountains and fish ponds. Most importantly, this place was very quiet. It was a good choice to set up a Sound Isolation Array here and draw talismans.
The hunchbacked old man led Wang Changsheng into the hall and served them a cup of fragrant tea before retreating.
After a while, a joyful voice came from outside the hall, "Who wants to buy my house?"
Just as he finished speaking, a young man in his twenties dressed in brocade clothes walked in quickly, followed by the hunchbacked old man. The young man's gaze swept over Wang Changsheng and Wang Changsheng, and then fell on Wang Changsheng.
"Zhou Zheng, this Young Master Wang wants to buy your house, but he thinks that one thousand taels is too expensive. Eight hundred taels is more like it." Boss Qian narrowed his eyes and bargained.
Wang Changsheng did not say anything. He took a sip of tea and calmly looked at the young man in brocade clothes.
"What? Eight hundred taels? Shopkeeper Qian, your price is too low! Our Master had spent 1,500 taels to buy this house. Now, you're only offering 800 taels. Isn't this lowering of the price a little too much? "The young man in embroidered clothes hadn't said anything when the hunchbacked old man spoke first. His expression was a little angry.
