The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 27 Buying a House

Lin Ziyi withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "This general is just asking casually."

Master Li gave a dry laugh, nodded and bowed and said, "Thank you General for caring about you, I will leave today!"

"No." Lin Ziyi said flatly.

Watching Master Li go away, Mu Gu came out from behind the column.

"In Li Dacai's account book, there are transaction records between Mr. Lin and his son Lin Chang. Suddenly there is Yinzi opening a restaurant. I don't know how much blood this silver is stained with! Why don't we just arrest him!" Mu Gu said angrily.

If it was someone else, Mu Gu wouldn't be so angry. Lord Lin's full name is Lin Heshou, and he is the old matriarch's distant cousin.

His current official position was arranged by Lin Ziyi's father, and all of this was for the sake of the old matriarch.

Since the old general passed away, Lin Heshou and his wife, Gusu Shi, visited him every now and then.

Lin Ziyi's thoughts were all in the barracks, and he didn't go back to the general's mansion often, and he didn't take Lin He's attention to please them.

I just thought, if they can make the old lady happy, they will give some money!
Lin Ziyi has never been a stingy person, but he never thought that he would raise a white-eyed wolf!
If it weren't for that account book, who would have thought that this distant relative who was 'careful' to the old lady all day would collude with Li Dacai and murder him together!

The reason why he came back to the mansion today is to find out what Lin Heshou is up to!

"You send someone to guard Lin He. I will know what he has seen and where he has been!" Lin Ziyi squinted his eyes, his eyes were cold.

Mu Gu understood what he meant, the general just wanted to use him to find the person behind him.

The trick just now to startle the snake was to make him panic, so that he could report to the master behind him.

As expected of the master!
"Subordinates, go now!"

As soon as Mu Gu walked away, Qi Tianxiao trotted over on his back. Seeing him sitting on the railing in front of Lin Ziyi, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Brother Ziyi! I saw an acquaintance just now, but I searched around the General's Mansion and didn't see him!"

"The acquaintance you mentioned means the one who paid you three taels?" Lin Ziyi walked down the corridor.

Qi Tianxiao jumped off the railing and chased after him, "That's right, that's him! I seemed to see him in a blink of an eye just now, but I can't find him now, could it be that he left the table early!"

"No, I have to go outside and look for it, and pay back the 300 taels I owe him!" After finishing speaking, he trotted towards the outside of the mansion.

Lin Ziyi shook his head lightly, and said helplessly, "It's rare to see people who can make him so caring these days!"

When Lin Ziyi was about to leave the General's Mansion to go to the barracks for night training, he suddenly remembered something.

Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Xia Jin since he brought her here. These days, he has been busy investigating the case, but he forgot about her.

Seeing Nanny Lin walking towards her, Lin Ziyi called her to stop.

"Mother Lin, is Miss Xia still used to living in the General's Mansion?"

Nanny Lin saluted, and replied: "Miss Xia has arrived at the General's Mansion, let's eat and drink for offerings, the days are nourished!"

"That's good……"

Xia Jin was lying on the roof, seeing all this, she rolled her eyes!

What delicious and delicious offerings, when she, Xia Jin, is a clay Buddha statue?Speaking of which, Sister Lin didn't seem to have arranged for anyone to deliver food to Changle Yuan these days.

Xia Jin went out every day, so she didn't pay much attention to this matter.

Looking back now, it's really disgusting!This old woman does one thing to the face and another thing behind the other, is this intentional to play Xia Jin on her, right?
Xia Jin grabbed a four-legged snake, bent her waist, and threw it down the eaves. It just landed on Nanny Lin's head. After a while, she heard a scream, and then heard the sound of falling into the pond with a thump.

Xia Jin covered her mouth and suppressed a smile.

"Interesting?" A pleasant voice came from behind.

Xia Jin turned around and saw a man standing behind him. This man had half-tup hair and was wearing a black robe. The taste of righteousness and evil is a bit like the hero in a Korean drama.

"Who are you?" Xia Jin asked.

"Like you, people who like to watch the excitement." The man smiled half a smile.

Xia Jin rolled her eyes, "This is the General's Mansion. I advise you to watch the excitement and find another place. If the General finds out, be careful that you will die!" Xia Jin wiped her neck.

After finishing speaking, Xia Jin jumped off the roof.

The man looked at the direction she was leaving, thoughtful, this lightness kung fu is so good, when did such a master appear in the General's Mansion?And it's a woman!
"My lord!" A black figure appeared behind him.

"What's the matter, say it!"

"Lin Ziyi has already begun to suspect Lin Heshou, and sent someone to watch over him, so why don't we make any moves?"

The man raised his hand and waved it, "Let's wait and see."

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, the man was about to leave when he saw an earring dropped from the roof, which was left by her...

He picked it up and put it in his palm, "It seems that we will see you next time..."

...In Changle Courtyard, Siji was vividly showing Xia Jin how Nanny Lin was out of breath after she fell into the water.

Xia Jin couldn't stop laughing at her, if Four Seasons came to modern times, she would definitely be a cross talk actor, this talent is simply innate!

"I don't know how the old matriarch is doing?" Siji looked at the direction of the main courtyard, somewhat worried in his heart.After all, if they encounter something harmful, how can they ignore it!

Xia Jin held her chin and murmured: "She should have read the note that was stuffed under the old lady's pillow yesterday, right? She will be careful when she sees it, and we have done a good deed!"

Just as she was thinking, the cuckoo's cry came from outside the wall, which was the secret signal for her to meet Mo Tuo.

Xia Jin jumped out of the fence, Mo Tuo hurried to meet her when she came out, and said excitedly, "I have found a suitable house! Do you want to go over and have a look, Master?"

Xia Jin didn't expect Mo Tuo to be so efficient!
Xia Jin had seen it by herself before, but she only knew about the price. You must know that this is the capital city, and houses are very popular. If you want to buy a ready-made one, you have to do it quickly or ask a relationship to buy it.

"It was only posted yesterday. I rushed over to inform my boss early this morning! My boss, let's hurry over and have a look!"

Xia Jin followed Mu Gu through a street, and stopped in front of a house two streets away from the General's Mansion.

Although the yard is not big, the layout inside is quite in line with Xia Jin's expectations. It's just that the yard is very desolate, and it should have been abandoned for a long time. However, the structure and buildings of the house seem to be fine.

Just take your time and do some landscaping!

"Old man, how much money does this house cost?" Xia Jin asked.

The old man stretched out five fingers, "At least 5000 taels of silver, not a single tael!"

"It's so expensive! The yard is so dilapidated, it's only 3000 taels of silver at most!" Siji bargained.

"The location here is good, and there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries nearby. This is the price! How about it, at least 500 taels, and I won't sell it any less!" said the old man.

"We're going to another place, and we won't come to the capital in the future. It's useless to keep this house, and no one lives in it, so it's cheap to sell. You can compare the prices of other houses nearby, 500 taels of silver , definitely the cheapest!"

"I can accept this price, but I don't have so much silver on hand right now, how about I give you a deposit of 1000 taels of silver first, and the remaining 500 taels will be given to you in half a month, how about it?" Xia Xia Jin said.

The old man frowned, apparently not wanting to delay the payment for too long, and seeing Xia Jin sincerely wanted it, he nodded.

"Okay, since the girl really wants it, I'll give it to you at this price!"

"Thank you, old man!"

The old man nodded, and Xia Jin took out a pen and paper to draft a contract. After the two signed the agreement, they each held a copy.

Xia Jin took a look, the yard was finally settled!

Next, I have to find a way to earn three thousand five hundred silver.

The cooking competition in Desheng Building will be held in these three days, "Siji, let's go to Desheng Building to sign up and earn money!"
