Chapter 141
Xue Shun really couldn't accept this.
"Wooden, right? Wood is good, but this place is so far from Resurrection Valley, how can I find someone to buy it?"
"That can be bought by any carpenter. I will draw the blueprints, note down their dimensions, and then find a carpenter."
Xue Shun was uneasy and asked, "Isn't this considered a leak?"
"Don't worry, sir. This kind of thing doesn't count. Prosthetic eyes and limbs that are just formless have been used since ancient times. They are not unique to the Resurrection Valley. The kind that... has both form and spirit is the one that cannot be leaked. I don't know how to be a servant of that, so it's difficult for me to leak it."
As for the last one, even if someone knows how to do it, few people can do it, right?
Just go back to Shenggu, it's shameless to ask for money.
Wei Qian really went to the wrong place and chose the wrong master. If he were in Huisheng Valley, no one would care about his affairs. What they do there is the human life business.
As long as there is money to be made, it is not difficult to come back to life.
If it doesn't work, then the money is not enough.
As to whether they can really bring the dead back to life or it is fake, no one knows. Anyway, everyone who has used it says it is good.
Shen Jiao and Xue Shun exchanged a few words, and then went back to work. They didn't get a chance to sleep all night. When it was almost dawn, two more people were sent over. The person in charge said that these two people were the craftsmen responsible for repairing the Chuge Tower. They were trapped inside and no one noticed, so they were dug out.
Xue Shun didn't need Shen Jiao to tell him. He felt something was wrong the moment he heard this: "Such a large place, and there are only two craftsmen?"
"In reply to your question, sir, there are only these two people. They are night watchmen. They usually live there to watch over things and don't do any work, so there is no need for many people."
The person in charge replied very carefully.
Xue Shun was still dissatisfied with his humble appearance and asked him coldly, "Who hired them?"
"He's the owner of Chuge Tower."
"What nonsense! I'm asking you, who is their owner and where is he now? Why did you let your house fall into such a mess? And you, are you just looking for trouble? You couldn't see that the building collapsed right next to the road and could hurt people, but you didn't even give any warning and let people come and set up stalls there. Do you take human life seriously?"
Xue Shun said he didn't care, but when he really saw the person, he couldn't help but get angry and slammed the table and cursed.
The person in charge seemed humble but not flustered, and he bent over and tried to continue fooling people:
"Young Master, you may not know that the owner of the Chuge Tower has changed four or five times in the past twenty years. Since the building was deserted six years ago, no one has taken care of it. It was not until this year that they showed some intention of repairing it. They asked the timber builders to set up the scaffolding, but it hasn't been repaired yet. They also asked the craftsmen to go back to their own homes. We would like to inquire about it, but firstly, we are busy and cannot keep an eye on it all the time. Secondly, we are short of manpower. Thirdly, it costs money to hire people to demolish such a large place, and this money should not be paid by us. The hall master was just about to send someone to find the owner of the Chuge Tower to discuss it, but who would have thought that the accident happened first.
You say, who can predict this? With something like this happening, we're all heartbroken. The hall master has gone to the mistress to confess his guilt, and specifically asked us to come over to see these injured people and give them some money as a token of our sympathy. The young master must have been living in a prosperous place for too long and doesn't understand the situation down there. We're really not well off here, and even this money was gathered out of our own pockets. We can barely afford to eat at home right now."
The person in charge glanced back, and the person following him stepped forward with the box in his arms to show Xue Shun.
I want to use the scattered copper coins inside to prove that I have done my best.
Xue Shun: ...
If Xue Shun hadn't been reluctant to give up the porridge in his bowl, he would have thrown the entire breakfast in his face.
His brain is indeed not working well.
But no matter how ineffective it is, you can tell that he is making excuses and quibbling in his words.
Crying poor is not credible at all.
You can tell just by looking at their smooth and sleek appearance. Even if they are wearing tattered clothes, they can't hide their delicate and tender faces, nor can they cover up the pickled aroma on their bodies, not to mention their shiny black hair.
Which one doesn't cost money to maintain?
Some people didn't even have time to change their shoes.
Xue Shun just used what he had learned from Shen Jiao about how to judge people here. The more he looked at him, the angrier he became.
I looked around but couldn't find anything good to throw away.
That didn't matter. He wasn't good at talking, and there was Shen Jiao, who was furious at work. When she met his eyes, Shen Jiao stood up and cursed:
"What nonsense are you talking about? When the young master asked you where your master was, why didn't you warn him? What are you talking about? If you keep looking around and talking nonsense, and you don't know anything, I'll tear out your tongue and drink it with you.
Are you thinking the young master is too shameless to be bullied, and so you don't treat him as your master? Do you think he's easy to fool? Bah, dream on! You dare come here and cry poor? First, we have to ask where you collect all the taxes.
"Master, Madam, you are so kind to me. Is it that the 50% tax is not enough to feed you? So many people can't support a whole clan? Or is it that someone has withheld your monthly salary? If you can tell me anything, I will ask Madam to kill him immediately! Tell me!"
Xue Shun: "Yes! Tell me, is there anyone who is greedy? I remember your monthly salary is quite high."
Xue Shun was jealous when he heard about it for the first time...
That was just a small manager, let alone the one in charge.
Xue Shuncai didn't believe that he had no money.
"Young Master...Young Master has wrongly killed my subordinate! Oh! Oh my God!" The person in charge turned pale and sweaty, his lips trembled, and he suddenly knelt down and burst into tears.
The people behind me also want to follow me, how can this be tolerated?
Xue Shun was startled.
Shen Jiao rushed forward and slapped him in the face: "Why are you howling? Are you mourning? There's a patient in the room, and you have absolutely no compassion at all. If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you yelling nonsense? Don't you think the young master can ask you questions?"
Principal: ...
"You can ask, you can ask."
The person in charge stopped crying abruptly, and nodded honestly with half of his face swollen.
He was almost furious. Who on earth had told him that the Seventeenth Young Master knew nothing? How could he be fooled with just a few tricks?
When you were talking about it, why didn't you mention that there was a girl next to him who could kill someone with just a few punches?
Why does she start beating people right away?
Even you, the young master, can't hit people casually!
He is the real boss, not a servant...
Shen Jiao: "What's that look in your eyes? Are you holding a grudge against me?"
The chief covered his face and shuddered: "I dare not."
Xue Shun: "It's okay if you dare. You can hold a grudge as much as you want. At worst, I will go to my mother to accept the punishment. But before that, you'd better answer me honestly, otherwise I will beat you to death first!"
The person in charge understood, understood it better than he could have.
The Seventeenth Young Master may not know anything, but he is a reckless man like the Fifteenth Young Master.
How should we deal with such a reckless man?
Of course you have to stroke the fur smoothly.
This reckless man still has a brain, what should we do?
Of course it has to go smoothly!
The boss spoke out in a flurry of words, "I know, I understand, I'll tell you right away. I don't know where the new owner of Chugelou is. One of the old owners has moved out of town, three are here and can be brought over immediately, and there's another one who wanted to buy it but gave up. They're also here, but they live far away, and it'll take a day and a night to get there on horseback."
The Hall Master forbade me not to issue a warning, but I don't know why. Perhaps I just said it casually. And this money was indeed collected, but it was collected by my family. I stole money from three children to get this box together. I didn't commit any corruption. My lord, please understand. I just couldn't bear to spend so much and was afraid of being criticized, so I cried poor."
Xue Shun was not used to him being so honest all of a sudden: "Why are you paying for this?"
"This... this is hard to say." The person in charge looked embarrassed to speak...
