Chapter 1277 Steward Guo Has a Request
Master Miao paused, narrowed his eyes, and said, "I see."
Meng Yunzheng knew that people from the black market were looking for him and that he was outside the Miao residence, so he lured him out of the residence and told him to leave through the back door.
This young couple is not to be underestimated.
Now that the matter had been settled, Master Miao didn't delay any longer. The group quickly descended the mountain and headed straight back to the city.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng stopped not far from the Miao residence and did not go inside.
The two watched as Master Miao alighted from the carriage, and then the people from the black market hurriedly emerged from the food stall across the street and chased after him inside.
Once they had all entered the mansion, the two turned around and booked two more rooms nearby to rest.
The next day, Shu Yu got up early, dressed Meng Yunzheng as a middle-aged man, and then watched him leave the inn.
A carriage was parked outside the inn, and sitting on the carriage shaft was the attendant that Master Miao had brought with him yesterday.
Today, Master Miao will go to the black market to formally discuss with Steward Guo and purchase the mountain and manor.
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, Meng Yunzheng would also pretend to be his bodyguard and accompany him.
Shu Yu was, after all, a woman, and rather short, which made her somewhat incongruous as a guard. Steward Guo was also a shrewd man; if they were too close, it would inevitably arouse his suspicion.
So not long after Master Miao and the others left, she rode her horse directly to the estate.
This place is close to the black market, so she might be able to find out about it as soon as Meng Yunzheng finishes his business.
Shu Yu rode a horse, traveling light, and arrived at the manor a step earlier than Meng Yunzheng and Master Miao.
She stood by the sunflower garden, watching Master Miao's carriage flash by.
Master Miao brought not only Meng Yunzheng and his entourage, but also two guards.
He had many enemies when he was away from home, so it was safer to have more people around.
Upon arriving at the black market, Steward Guo immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, "Master Miao, you've finally arrived."
Master Miao was all smiles. He was now in control, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.
But he also knew when to stop. The price of 25,000 had been negotiated for so long, and Manager Guo was unwilling to lower it. Now, because of Meng Yunzheng's involvement, he reluctantly took a step back.
If Master Miao pushes his luck and tries to lower the price again, Steward Guo will probably just refuse to sell it.
Therefore, after taking a while and making a few more demands, Master Miao finally got down to business.
"...As previously agreed, I'll pay 25,000 for the hill and the manor together. You can take the people and things from the manor; you can take whatever you want. However, I need to check the condition of the manor before the transfer of ownership."
Manager Guo nodded, "Of course."
Master Miao then took Meng Yunzheng and began to tour the manor inside and out.
There are two secret rooms in this manor, a fact that both Meng Yunzheng and Master Miao were aware of, and Steward Guo had taken them to see them one by one.
When they came out, Master Miao noticed that Steward Guo was not there, and whispered to Meng Yunzheng, "These two secret rooms will be very useful in the future."
Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "I don't need a secret room. Once I get the manor, I'll block it up."
A secret room that everyone knows about is no longer a secret room.
Master Miao thought about it and agreed, so he didn't say anything more.
After touring the manor, the group returned to the front hall and sat down to sign the papers.
However, as Master Miao picked up the pen, Steward Guo placed his right hand on the contract and said, "Wait, before you sign, I have one more request."
