Chapter 228 Feng Shui Precious Land

The broker was naturally happy to see that there was an extra house and he could get more commission.

So he took a few people to the government office to handle the relevant deeds.

The Trade Secretary saw the deed and asked, "Madam Zhu, are you buying Old Fangtou's house? Let me remind you, more than one person has died there."

Zhu Mingqing had already discussed this with Old Fangtou before.

But now is a good time to confirm it again.

After learning that it was indeed not a murder scene, but that two people had fallen ill and died after moving in, some people began to spread rumors of bad luck.

This also resulted in the housing prices in Chengliu Lane being lower than those in other lanes.

Nowadays, there are only seven or eight households in the whole alley, most of whom are poor scholars. If they really had nowhere else to go, they would have wanted to move away long ago.

As the news of the Luo family building a school gradually spread, almost everyone in Chengliu Lane was truly happy.

But after some people found out the selling price of the house, they all became interested.

Zhu Mingqing has been dealing with several brokers at home these days.

…

Summer is coming to an end and the night breeze is cool.

That day, Mr. Liu was so anxious that he knocked on the door of Prefect Liu.

Prefect Liu was wearing his coat late at night, sleepy on his face. "Why are you here at this hour?"

Master Liu said anxiously, "Brother-in-law, something bad has happened. I heard news from the capital today that Aliang and the others have been arrested!"

Magistrate Liu suddenly came to his senses: "When did it happen?"

"It was this morning. I happened to be on my way to find Xu Changqin when I heard it. I rushed over as soon as I received the news."

Aliang is their person in the provincial capital, and his specialty is to protect the Hu people.

"And it's not just Aliang. All the Hu people in the capital were wiped out!" Master Liu paced back and forth anxiously. "Brother-in-law, they will definitely find us. Why don't we run?"

Prefect Liu was shocked by his nonsense: "What nonsense!"

"Really, we have done a lot for the Hu people. Now that the capital city is in chaos, let's go. We can live a good life outside the Great Wall."

Mr. Liu couldn't sleep every night when he thought of the deceased Manager Xu.

He only has his brother-in-law to rely on. If he is no longer useful...

Mr. Liu had already thought about the consequences several times in his mind.

"Shut up!" Magistrate Liu slammed his hand on the table. "Don't worry about this matter. Just go find Xu Changqin! Remember, only when I am well can you be safe!"

It was late at night, and Magistrate Liu didn't want to say anything more to him, as he estimated that more detailed information would come early tomorrow morning.

He directly ordered someone to send Mr. Liu back home.

"Brother-in-law, please listen to my advice..." Mr. Liu was being held by someone's arms, his legs were jumping, and he wanted to walk back.

The guards in the mansion looked at Magistrate Liu, who waved his hand, and then the two of them forcefully sent the man onto the carriage.

In the carriage, Mr. Liu was so angry that he kicked the carriage, but accidentally injured his little finger and grimaced in pain.

The next morning.

Prefect Liu had just finished his breakfast and was about to go to the government office when he bumped into Liu Ge, who was hurriedly returning home with the support of someone.

"Dad!" Liu Ge shouted with a pale face.

Looking at the gauze on his son's arm, Magistrate Liu was very worried. He immediately asked someone to call a doctor back. He did not go to the government office and stayed with his son.

"Young master, you only have some minor injuries. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will be able to recover in a few days." said the doctor.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor left respectfully.

"Ge'er, how did you get injured?" Prefect Liu couldn't help but ask.

Liu Ge's voice was tired and a little panicked. "After I arrived in the city, I contacted Concubine Xu. Later, Prince Zhou became seriously ill. You must have heard about it."

Magistrate Liu nodded slightly, "Why didn't you come back then?"

Liu Ge: "I wanted to come back, but Concubine Xu stopped me. I still don't know why. But just yesterday, all our people were captured by the soldiers sent by Prince Huai's Mansion!"

He grabbed his father's arm, terrified at the thought of yesterday's scene.

"I was still in the capital at the time. I don't know who leaked the news, but they actually thought it was related to me. I almost couldn't come back."

Prefect Liu felt uneasy, and then he said loudly: "It must be Aksu. You know that Aksu is now in the hands of Prince Huai."

Liu Ge nodded: "I know, but those people are just like mad dogs, biting everyone they see. Fortunately, the child has returned to the city safely."

Magistrate Liu patted the child on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you're back. Take a good rest. Everything will be fine in a few days."

Liu Ge nodded slightly and slowly closed his eyes.

Half an hour passed before Magistrate Liu left the courtyard and went to the government office to report for duty.

"Hey, brother-in-law, you're here."

Mr. Liu had been waiting at the gate of the government office for a long time.

Inside the carriage, Magistrate Liu got a headache when he heard the voice. He closed his eyes, then opened them again, and got out of the carriage with a stern expression: "What are you doing here?"

“Not yet…”

"There's no need to mention what happened last night!" Magistrate Liu interrupted.

Mr. Liu shook his head: "No, it's that piece of land. I received news this morning that it was bought by the eldest lady of the Luo family!"

As soon as Magistrate Liu heard it, he knew he was talking about Chengliu Lane.

I don't know what got my wife's brother into this situation, but he believed the words of a Taoist priest who said that the land in Chengliu Lane was a Feng Shui treasure land.

But people are still dying of illness in this crucial Feng Shui location?

If he wants to buy the land, then he can buy it, but he is still greedy.

He directly lowered the price and wanted to buy all the houses there and move there himself.

Who knows, one day the luck will turn and the Liu family's business will become bigger and stronger.

"Don't listen to the Taoist priest's nonsense. Just do your business properly. With me here, your business will definitely continue."

Magistrate Liu's mind is now full of the affairs of the provincial capital, and he has no mood to care about these trivial matters.

Mr. Liu refused to give up and stopped him from leaving. "There are still five or six families here. Brother-in-law, lend me some money and I'll go buy them today. I can't let others buy them all. What if it's a truly Feng Shui treasure land? Then, Brother-in-law will have a prosperous career and will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune!"

Magistrate Liu paused for a moment and looked at the other person intently.

"You're right, your career will be prosperous and you'll turn misfortune into good fortune!"

If this is really possible, just buy a piece of land.

He asked someone to bring him one thousand pieces of silver and said, "Remember, two of the plots of land are registered in my name."

Mr. Liu was dumbfounded.

But think about it carefully, if my brother-in-law is fine, how can he not be fine?

"Okay, brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Mr. Liu hurried to Chengliu Lane and started looking for someone to talk to.

But the result is that those who said they would buy a house before are now not going to sell it no matter what.
