Chapter 27 Site Selection
"what?!"

Old Han's face was gloomy. He did not expect that a ninth-grade martial artist with a beard and a dignified figure would die inexplicably in the mountains.

"This officer is busy."

As he spoke, he took out two taels of broken silver from his arms and quietly put it into the official's cuffs.

The young official smiled flatteringly and happily collected the money. In fact, the Nanchuan County government office had already been filled with spies from the four major families.

The magistrate knew that he could not defeat these big families, so he could only swallow his anger and pretend not to see them.

The officer collected the reward and told Mr. Han the detailed process of discovering the beard.

Mr. Han listened quietly without saying a word.

"You were obviously looking for that young man, why did you suddenly go to the mountains?"

He was really puzzled. Beard was a very reliable person and was a highly relied upon expert by the Third Young Master. There was no reason for him to make such an extraordinary move.

Seeing that the official was hesitant to speak, Mr. Han said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Official: "Steward Han, people have been missing in Chang'an Town these days. It may be those things."

"really?"

"It's just a villain's speculation."

"That's all, this matter still needs to be reported to Third Young Master."

Mr. Han sent the young official away with a thoughtful look on his face.

Sending Beard to attack was a big deal, and there was no chance of an accident happening. But if there were other beings causing trouble, it would all make sense.

As the most senior butler of the Xu family, he knows much more about these things than ordinary people.

Now that those things have appeared, they are no longer something that he, a butler, can handle.

Mr. Han secretly thought that it was a pity that a ninth-level martial artist with nimble hands and feet was not so easy to find.

"That kid, let's talk about it later."

Nanchuan City is not the best in the entire Jiannan Road, but the streets are still bustling with activity.

The Ye family brother and sister were strolling leisurely on the street.

With the residence permit, they no longer need to be in such a hurry as before. In the past, Ye Changan had to leave the city before dark when entering the city, otherwise he would have to spend money to stay in an inn.

Although there is no curfew in Daxuan, if the officers and soldiers on patrol find someone wandering the streets late at night, they will inevitably be questioned.

But it's different with a residence permit. As long as you show it, official duties won't be too difficult.

Ye Rouer curiously looked at the colorful world in the city, surrounded by strange objects that she had never seen before.

In fact, she has only entered the city four times in total, one of which was when she couldn't remember.

Farmers are busy making a living every day, and they don't have time to play all day long like rich people do.

Ye Changan has been to the city many times, but except for the road to Chunse Tower, he has never been to other places. Every time he comes and goes in a hurry.

Now that I finally have some time to relax, it would be nice to take a closer look.

The residence permit has been obtained, and the purpose of the brother and sister entering the city today is naturally to look at the house.

"Candied haws on a stick, delicious candied haws on a stick~"

"Good quality cloth, buy it cheaply."

"Fellow folks, take a look, take a look!"

Hearing the cries of various vendors, Ye Rouer swallowed her saliva. The red and shiny candied haws were too lethal to the little girl.

Ye Changan noticed something strange about his sister, and he stopped the hawker: "Brother, how much does a bunch of candied haws cost?"

"This little brother is worth two cents apiece."

"Okay, give me a bunch." Seeing that Ye Changan was about to pay, her younger sister Ye Rouer hurriedly pulled her brother's sleeve.

"Brother, I'm not hungry," she said, but her big eyes never left the candied haws.

Ye Changan chuckled lightly, took out two copper coins and handed them to the vendor. He chose a big and plump hawthorn and stuffed it into Ye Rouer's hand.

Seeing that Ye Rou'er was reluctant to take her mouth, he threatened: "Eat it quickly, or it will melt."

After listening to her brother's words, Ye Rou'er hurriedly bit down a big hawthorn, her little face bulged, she was very cute.

After a cup of tea, the brother and sister stopped in front of a wealthy and luxurious shop, with a plaque reading "Shun Tong Ya Xing" written on it.

The so-called dental shops, in short, are middlemen in the previous life. They charge middlemen fees by introducing sales. In this world, dental shops must be approved by the government, so they are considered honest.

Ye Changan only knew the Li family in Nanchuan City, but he didn't want to owe Li Ta a favor just because of such a trivial matter.

So I thought of coming to Yaxing to check out the market first.

The brother and sister walked into the store. A young clerk was about to put on his signature smile when he saw a customer coming.

As a result, the two of them looked like hunters, and they were just a pair of boys and girls, so they immediately lost interest.

He said listlessly: "Two guests, what do you want?"

Ye Changan said straightforwardly: "Buy a house."

"Big deal!" The young man suddenly became energetic. He immediately changed his face and politely welcomed the two of them into the store.

He looked at the two plainly dressed brothers and sisters in surprise, and thought to himself: "Really, people cannot be judged by their appearance."

The Ye family brothers and sisters found a quiet seat to sit down. The house purchase business was too big and they needed to call the shopkeeper to discuss it.

After a while, a fat man with a big belly and a red face came over with a smile, and enthusiastically clasped his fists and said, "Are you two going to buy a house?"

"Exactly."

"Do you have any interest in the location?"

"Little River Street."

When he heard that he was going to buy a house on Xiaohe Street, although the fat shopkeeper's smile remained unchanged, his politeness was obviously a little less polite.

Although Xiaohe Street is much better than slums like Shizi Lane, it is still mostly civilians and cannot be sold for too high a price.

The fat shopkeeper asked the boy to get the account books and skillfully found the house that was for sale on Xiaohe Street.

Ye Changan and his sister spent a long time choosing, but still couldn't find the house they wanted.

He couldn't help but think about the years he spent renting a house after graduating from college. He couldn't afford a bad house but couldn't afford a good one.
The houses that are willing to be sold in Yahang are from families whose houses were taken away by the government because they could not pay taxes. Most of them are in dilapidated condition.

If you want to live in it, some renovations are inevitable.

Not to mention the huge expense, the main reason is that after buying the house, the family will have no money left, so the progress of moving will be put on hold.

Seeing that the brother and sister had not yet made a decision, the boy on the side gradually showed an impatient look.

The fat shopkeeper is very well-educated, drinking tea calmly and calmly. Business has been deserted recently, so he is not in a hurry to catch up with customers.

It was time for another cup of tea, and the fat shopkeeper slowly spoke: "Little brother, seeing that you are sincere, I have something to recommend to you two."

"Then thank you, shopkeeper, for your advice."

Before he finished speaking, the account book was flipped through by the fat shopkeeper, and finally stopped at one page.

Ye Changan looked around and saw that this property was located in Xiecao Lane in the west of the city, which was similar to Xiaohe Street. Not only that, although the house was also dilapidated, it could be barely lived in as long as the dust was brushed off.

If it were placed on Xiaohe Street, it would start at at least 80 taels, but this room only costs 50 taels, which is right within Ye Changan's budget.

However, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and Ye Changan is worried that there is something fishy.

He clasped his fists politely and said, "Can the shopkeeper please order someone to take us to have a look?"
