Lin Mengya sensed that Qinghu seemed to have something on his mind, but she did not continue to ask after thinking about it.
He had just gotten rid of his inner demons and was still recovering, so he must be more sensitive to certain things.
In order not to hurt Qinghu, she chose to respect him.
But she would never let go of the man who hurt her Qinghu.
"Miss, we tried everything we could to force a confession out of him, but he refused to say anything."
The Jackdaw Guards were also at their wits' end about Slave Zi's interrogation.
But Lin Mengya was not surprised. Instead, she conveyed her orders to them.
It was another long night.
Slave Zi sat on the ground and closed his eyes to rest. But the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The Fourth Young Master was calling him!
Under the cover of the night, Slave Zi stumbled out of the back door of the Huo Mansion.
After hearing the news, Lin Mengya just nodded and asked the guards to leave.
"He is indeed familiar with the Huo Mansion."
After lighting up the wick, Lin Mengya gave Long Tianhao another coat.
Long Tianhao grabbed her hand and sat her on his lap.
"It seems that the Huo Family is hiding a lot of secrets."
The next day, everyone in the old house started to tidy up, as if Slave Zi, who ran away last night, was not important at all.
Being responsible to the owner, Lin Mengya asked Wu Ying to record all the things that were almost stolen by those people.
If they knew where they came from, they would put them in their original places. If they didn't know where they were, they would keep them in the storeroom.
The old house was cleaned inside and out. Apart from the broken bricks and tiles, there was no sign that it had been through a lot.
On the fourth day after they moved into the old house, another group of uninvited guests arrived.
"I want to talk to the person in charge of your house."
The leader was a middle-aged man with a haughty look.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he shouted that he wanted to see the person in charge.
In order to find out the truth, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao chose to hide, while Wu Ying went out to receive them.
"Are you the leader of the thieves who seized this place? I'm warning you, this is the private property of the Fang Family. If you know what's good for you, get out of here! "
The man put a big hat on them as soon as he opened his mouth.
For a moment, Wu Ying wanted to kick him out.
This was clearly Boss Huo's home. What the hell did it have to do with the Fangs?
But he also knew that he couldn't easily expose his identity, so he could only forcefully endure it and force out a smile.
"We're just passing guests. We saw that there was no one here, so we came in to rest. Also, when we came here, we didn't see any sign saying that outsiders were forbidden to enter. Moreover, the signboard outside the residence doesn't have 'Fang Residence' written on it. "
Who knew that when the other party heard that, he became even more unreasonable.
"It doesn't say that this is the Fang family's property! I'm here on the orders of my master to tidy up the house. If you don't hurry up and leave, I'll report to Master and have you thrown out! "
Wu Ying also lost his good attitude.
"Whether or not he belongs to the Fang Clan is not up to you and your master to decide!"
The middle-aged man was probably used to running amok. He actually waved his hand with a sneer and ordered his subordinates to rush forward and beat him up.
"Stop!"
A woman shouted. Then, Lin Mengya led a group of guards and protected Wu Ying behind them.
(If this chapter is not finished, please turn the page.)
The other party was a little surprised that they had so many people.
But when he thought of the Fang family's status in the aboriginals, the middle-aged man straightened his back.
"What? Do you still want to beat me up? "
"Weren't you the ones who started it first?" She asked in return with a look of disdain.
"Ha, we just want to drive away the thieves who are occupying the Fang family's private property. Also, don't think that I'll be afraid of you just because you have more people. This area is the Fang family's land. You must be tired of living. How dare you go against the Fang family! "
The other party's arrogance and the fact that they were the Fang family really made her lose her appetite.
She didn't need to ask to know which Fang family they were talking about.
She didn't have a good impression of the Fang family to begin with. Now, she felt that the Fang family's master was really not a good person.
"I see. If that's the case, then this residence also belongs to the Fang family?" She raised her eyebrows and asked.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"Of course!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya changed the topic and looked him up and down carefully.
"What are you looking at?" The middle-aged man made her hair stand on end.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, she sat down on her own. She was much more arrogant than the other party.
"To tell you the truth, we don't have to live in this shabby residence. We just see that the scenery here is unique and there aren't many people around. We just want some peace and quiet. Since you don't welcome us, then we'll leave. But you won't be able to earn a single cent from this large sum of money. "
Hearing the word 'money', the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed.
Then, as if he had just reacted, he sneered and said, "Leave? You can leave if you want, but you have to pay for your stay here for the next few days! "
Wu Ying retorted angrily, "Why should I pay you? This place is so dilapidated, and it was our people who repaired it! "
"I don't care! This residence was originally very good. With so many of you staying here, I'm afraid you've already ruined a lot of things. Let me tell you, you have to pay, otherwise I'll definitely report this to my master. I'll see how you'll deal with it then! "
The middle-aged man's words became more and more outrageous. In the end, he used Master Fang's name to pressure them.
Wu Ying was so angry that she glared at him a few times, flicked her sleeves and walked out.
On the other hand, Lin Mengya, who had been silent all this while, was not as indignant as the other party.
"Actually, you're not wrong. Since we're staying in your courtyard, we should indeed pay. Why don't you give us a figure? "
The moment she opened her mouth, it was as if she was a fool who had a lot of money and was trying to cheat her.
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and immediately said with a sullen face, "With so many of you here, you'll have to pay at least a hundred taels of silver a day."
"What?" She said in surprise, "Only a hundred taels of silver? So cheap?"
The middle-aged man immediately regretted it, especially when he saw that Lin Mengya had easily asked them to take out a hundred taels of silver. He was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
"Including today, we've stayed here for a total of four days. That's a total of four hundred taels of silver. Not bad, not considered expensive."
As she spoke, she took out four large silver ingots from the large plate.
However, the man's gaze was firmly glued to the ingots from the moment she took them out.
This was equivalent to picking up four hundred taels of silver for free!
The middle-aged man took the ingots and could not help but take a bite.
Hmm! It was really a substantial amount of silver!
Unfortunately, he only had four ingots.
Looking at the woman in front of him who was so rich that it made him envious, the middle-aged man suddenly had an idea.
"Wait!
(This chapter is not over, please continue to the next page)
”
Lin Mengya's face darkened.
"What do you mean by this? Are you going to raise the price again? You were the one who said a hundred taels of silver a day. Everyone heard it. If you dare to go back on your words, I'll look for your master to reason things out! "
She immediately felt that she was in the right.
The middle-aged man, on the other hand, had taken advantage of her and was afraid that he would really make a scene in front of his master, so he quickly changed his attitude.
"Miss, please calm down. I didn't mean it that way."
His face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, but his eyes never left the remaining silver.
His greedy nature was completely exposed.
"I just think that instead of squeezing into an inn with them, it would be better for you to stay here. The surrounding area is very exquisite. You can have a good time when you stay here. "
Lin Mengya said, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to chase us away? Why do you want us to stay this time? "
The man said again, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! It's all my fault. I didn't ask clearly before I acted rashly. Miss, please be magnanimous and don't be calculative with me. As for this house, you can stay as long as you want. It's just that … "
He looked awkward again, but his meaning was very clear.
Seeing this, Lin Mengya also understood what he was referring to.
"Since it's like this, then we'll stay here for the time being. Don't worry, a hundred taels of silver a day, we won't renege on the debt. "
She signaled the guard to give the remaining six hundred taels of silver to him.
The middle-aged man simply could not control the smile on his face and thanked her profusely.
"Oh, thank you, Miss. I can tell that Miss is a straightforward person. Don't worry, you can stay here as long as you want. I won't disturb you any longer. Let's go! "
With a thousand taels of silver in his hand, the middle-aged man left happily.
And Wu Ying also walked in. He was just putting on a show and did not leave.
"Master Gong, why do you care about such a greedy and shameless person?"
It was not that he was distressed about the money, but he felt that it was not worth it.
But Lin Mengya had her reasons.
"The Fang family would not send people here for no reason. Moreover, his greed is more beneficial to us."
Originally, they came here to avoid trouble.
Who knew that they would meet people one after another to mess up the situation.
She could also get rid of them, but that would cause too much trouble in the future.
It would be better to let this money-hungry Fang family cover for her.
Just as Lin Mengya expected.
That middle-aged man was a small steward of the Fang family's outer court.
This time, he came to the Huo family's old house to investigate under the instructions of the chief steward.
Originally, he was not valued in the Fang family, otherwise, he would not have ended up in such a worthless job.
Who knew that he actually got such a lucky dog and got such a windfall.
After using two hundred taels of silver to send the surrounding people away, and after gagging their mouths, the middle-aged man went to report.
"Greetings, chief steward. I have already checked the Huo family's haunted house. Everything is normal, there is nothing strange."
The chief steward glanced at him and waved his hand to dismiss him, while he went to report to the Old Master.
"Bah! You have all the benefits. This time, I will not let you cut off my path to wealth! "
The steward said to himself, turned around, took the money, and went out to have fun.
In the Fang family's study, the Old Master of the Fang family was carefully reading a letter.
"Old Master, I have already sent someone to check, no one has been to the Huo family's old house."
