I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Buying a House

Faced with Manager Chen's question, although Ma Zhongcai did not respond, his eyes evaded, which showed a guilty conscience.

Manager Chen's heart dropped.

　　I just wanted to kill Ma Zhongcai.

 Even Ning Chuyi and the Minister of Dali Temple changed their expressions when they heard about human flesh buns.

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 ancestor of Ma Zhongcai's family had a minor official, he was not wealthy. When it passed to his hands, 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 pretty good.

 But since his wife fell ill and passed away, the buns made by Ma Zhongcai tasted bad and the business got worse.

 The already poor days have become 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, he lured them to their homes and killed them, then cut off their flesh and minced them 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, so 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 did not 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 did not admit his crime, he just remained silent.

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

Ling Chu stopped him, "Sir, there is a patch of chrysanthemums in the second yard. It's best to dig them 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 in the second courtyard.

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

 After killing so many people, he will definitely die.

 No one present sympathized with him.

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

 But his behavior is obviously a twisted and psychopathic behavior.

Steward Chen just took one look at the skeletons and vomited.

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.

Lingchu 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 I felt it was a bit abrupt given the relationship between the two of them.

“There is a four-door courtyard on Qintai Street, which 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 and have a look. If it is suitable, you might as well buy it. The house was surrounded by official houses, and it was quiet there.

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

Ling Chu remembered that Qintai Street was also in Xicheng, but said, "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 also in Xicheng, so the price must not be cheap.

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

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 quite old, but it is still 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 house on the fourth floor of Xicheng only costs 1,200 taels, which is a great deal.

Lingchu 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 property.

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

Lingchu 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 she really wanted.

Happy, 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 but complain in his heart.

They adults really spared no effort to help Miss Ling.

He sold all his private property at a low price. He was afraid that Miss Ling would be embarrassed to accept his help, so he pretended that the house belonged to his friend.

If he hadn't known that the lord was doing it for the emperor's sake and had helped him many times, he would have almost thought that Ning Chuyi had fallen in love with Miss Ling.

Lingchu didn't know Wei Feng's slander, so he followed Wei Feng to Qintai Street in a carriage.

Lingchu originally thought that the house in Sijin would only sell for 1,200 taels, and that it would be relatively dilapidated inside. Unexpectedly, the actual situation was exactly the opposite.

"Wei Feng, did you remember the price incorrectly? This house shouldn't be twelve thousand taels, right?"

Wei Feng had long known that she would be suspicious, so he quickly came up with the excuse he had already thought of, "It is indeed one thousand two hundred taels, we adults did not remember it wrong.

 The reason why it was sold so cheaply is because this house was originally the foreign residence of your friend, and his family did not know the existence of this house.

His wife died of illness the year before last. He didn't want to keep the house to see and miss people, so he thought of selling it. Although Waishi died, she was very favored during her lifetime, and the plum trees in the yard were planted specifically for her.

Your friend's only request is that the plum tree cannot be cut down. "

Lingchu was speechless after hearing this. The outer room was dead and he wanted to sell the house, but he insisted that the plum tree must be kept.

It's just a few trees, so there's nothing wrong with keeping them.

Wei Feng secretly wiped his sweat after hearing her decision to buy the house.

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