Chapter 204 Price is Negotiable
Liang Weijiang continued, "Most of the people here were captured and don't know what they are doing. They only know that they can keep their families safe only if they are well trained. So, they beg you to send them home to reunite with their families."
The city lord's eyes wandered over the father and son, and he suddenly laughed: "Okay, very good, you two are both capable. I will explain your request to the people above, but whether it can be realized depends on what the people above say."
Doctor Feng brought the evidence he found and clearly wrote down the Ninth Prince's plan. He really wanted to rebel, and he was raising troops not only in this place, but also in several other places.
This matter involves serious matters, and the city lord must meet the emperor in person.
The journey was long and would take at least ten days or half a month to complete. The Liang family had just finished their journey, and the city lord had no plan to take them with him. Instead, he asked his personal guards to send them back to Linjiang City. He also gave the family a letter and a reward of one thousand taels of silver.
Having been farming all his life, he had never seen so much money. Liang Yuanwang smiled from ear to ear and kissed the silver again and again.
Liang Weijiang also looked at Yin Zi with a silly smile, but he first looked at Liang Huanxue in his mother's arms.
"Now my sister can buy new clothes."
Liang Huanxue felt warm in her heart.
"Big brother is still good to me. I like big brother the most."
Liang Weijiang scratched his head, extremely happy.
"Then shall we buy a house?"
Liang Huanxue brought up her own topic, which once again dispelled the depression that lingered in everyone's hearts.
Liang Yuanwang clapped his hands and said, "We need to look at houses, but there is no need to buy one. We can save a lot of money by renting one."
"It's better to buy it then." Shen Yuefu sided with the good girl, "Renting is more expensive, but it's not all spent at once."
Liang Guier also shouted: "I don't want to live in someone else's house, I want to live in my own house."
Among the children, Liang Guier had the biggest reaction.
Liang Yuanwang gave him a glare and said, "You are the only one who is always bothering others."
Liang Gui'er said in a low voice, "That's right. My mother said that living in someone else's house is called wandering. I don't want to be a wanderer."
When Zhao Chunhua was mentioned, Liang Yuanwang rarely refrained from scolding Liang Guier and said, "Okay, buy it!"
Liang Guier jumped up in joy: "Oh wow, I bought a house!"
If you want to buy a house, you should buy a better one.
When Wei Rou heard about this, she sent someone to inquire for the family, and found out that there was indeed a suitable location near the City Lord's Mansion.
"This house is located on the waterside with a mountain at its back, and it is a rare large house with clear boundaries. The guests are lucky that the owner of the house went to Beijing to report on his work, and this house is busy being sold, so it is very cheap."
Although this house is not as grand as the City Lord's Mansion when viewed from the outside, it is still quite good.
Since they were going to see a house, the whole family had to be satisfied. Liang Yuanwang took his family to see the house. When they were about to reach the door, a pungent smell hit their faces.
Shen Yuefu covered her nose and frowned: "What is this smell?"
Fang Ya remained calm and said, "Maybe someone spilled something on it. But we're here to see the house, so you guys should take a look inside."
Fang Ya led his family into the house.
The house is quite large, strictly divided into the front house and the back yard. The layout of the front house is more serious, and the family does not particularly like it.
But when I got to the backyard, all that was left was love.
The layout of the entire backyard is cozy, with the houses not far from each other and there are also study rooms, guest rooms, etc.
It was the first time for the whole family to see such a house, and they immediately looked like they had never seen the world.
Seeing that everyone liked it, Fang Ya struck while the iron was hot: "I see that a few of you like it. I can wait for you to explain the situation to the boss and get a lower price. However, we have to sign the contract as soon as possible. If we delay for too long, the boss may regret it."
"This house is haunted!"
Liang Huanxue's voice rang out along with Fang Ya's voice.
Along the way, although Fang Ya picked out the good ones to show the family, Liang Huanxue used her vision to see more things. There were yellow talismans pasted in front of many doors, and in some places, the walls were stained with black dog blood.
Yellow talismans plus melodrama, what else could it be but a haunted house?
Although Liang Huanxue did not believe in ghosts and gods, she could not accept this loss.
She told her father what she had seen and heard, and Liang Yuanwang's expression immediately turned unhappy.
Fang Ya's heart skipped a beat: "I'm only saying this because we're on good terms. If you don't like it, there are a few more guests waiting. I..."
Liang Yuanwang seemed to be waiting for these words, and he turned around and left with his wife and children.
Fang Ya was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the family left when they really liked him!
I wanted to go back, but I couldn't let this customer leave, so I quickly called him back.
"The price is negotiable. We can discuss it later."
"There's nothing to talk about." Liang Yuanwang said unhappily, "You're not willing to say that the house is haunted, so what else is there to talk about?"
If it weren't for the good girl's carefulness, he might have been deceived.
Fang Ya didn't expect to be discovered at this point, and said awkwardly: "I was just about to tell you, but I didn't expect you to know it first."
Liang Yuanwang snorted coldly: "If I hadn't seen the yellow talisman and the bloodstains, I really wouldn't have guessed it."
Fang Ya looked embarrassed and explained, "It's my fault. There were some strange stories about this house before, but they were all nonsense. The owner made these arrangements to make himself feel at ease. Now the owner is eager to sell it, and the price has been reduced to the lowest. It is a rare opportunity."
The children didn't have this concern. They were not afraid of ghosts and actually liked the house very much.
Liang Yuanwang listened to it, pondered for a moment, turned around and asked Shen Yuefu: "Wife, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Shen Yuefu hesitated for a moment, looked at the children who were full of expectation, especially Liang Guier's sparkling eyes, and finally nodded: "As long as this problem can be solved and the price is right, it is not impossible to consider it."
Seeing this, Fang Ya immediately responded, "I can help contact a master to exorcise the evil spirit. The expenses will be borne by us. I just hope that this transaction can be completed."
After hearing what Fang Ya said, Liang Weijiang raised his doubts: "Even if we can exorcise the evil spirits temporarily, there is no guarantee that there won't be trouble again in the future."
Fang Ya almost knelt down in front of Liang Yuanwang, not knowing whether to cry or not.
Liang Huanxue quickly informed her old father.
"We can take this opportunity to negotiate the price. It would be best if the price could be lower."
Liang Yuanwang said seriously: "We still like the house very much, but the price..."
Fang Ya saw that there was a chance, and immediately offered a discount: "To be honest, the original price of this nephew was five thousand taels. We suffered a loss first, and his reputation is not very good. We are willing to pay out of our own pockets to fill the skull with one thousand taels, and the deal can be completed at four thousand taels. What do you think..."
“I won’t buy it!”
The reward given by the city lord is only good for a thousand years, and some money has to be left for Su Lao San. This house will have to be completely emptied out, which Liang Yuanwang is absolutely unwilling to do.
Liang Huanxue did not stop her father from speaking, but observed Fang Ya's reaction.
Fang Ya seemed to have not expected that this price would be rejected, and hurriedly said: "This is already the lowest price. Logically, this house should cost 10,000 taels of silver. It was only because of a trick that the price was reduced by half, and now it has been reduced by another 1,000 taels. Four thousand taels is already the lowest price."
