I am a hereditary jailer, start to suppress the eldest princess

"Money will only depreciate in your hands, but the house will not. There are so many people in the capital, and there are countless people who want to settle here. The house price will only rise, not drop. Buy more around here, open the walls, and find Some craftsmen beautify it, and it is comfortable to live in." Xiao Ran said.

"That's right! It's the money that is spent." Xiao Zhou nodded.

Even more anxious than Xiao Ran.

"It's not too late, let's go now."

"Okay." Xiao Ran replied.

Walk out of the yard and walk towards Xinyi Ya.

Xinyi Dental Bank is in the generation of Jingwenfang, and has more resources, and there are many houses here.

I came here to explain my purpose.

The boss of the tooth shop warmly invited the two of them into the VIP room.

Good tea and refreshments are served.

"Do you really want to buy the ten houses near No. 98?" The boss confirmed again.

The house Xiao Ran lives in is No. 98, with No. 97 and No. 99 on the left and right sides.

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

"The housing prices over there are not cheap, and there are still people living there. They have no plans to move out in the near future. If they want to buy nearby houses, they may have to pay a premium."

"Money is not a problem, I only have one request, to get this done as soon as possible." Xiao Ran said.

"I have a proposal here, you might as well listen to it." The boss said.

"You already have three houses, and if you buy another ten houses nearby, you will buy more than half of Xiaolong Lake. If you have sufficient funds on hand, I suggest buying another nine houses near Xiaolong Lake together. So For one thing, Xiaolong Lake will be your private lake, and you can build a wall around it to enclose Xiaolong Lake."

"Xiaolong Lake?" Xiao Ran was puzzled.

"Yeah." The boss explained.

"Xiaolong Lake was originally built by a first-rank official at a great cost. The water source received from the viewing river is beautiful. It is a place for self-cultivation, reciting poems, painting, and playing chess with friends. It is a pity that with this first-rank The case of the senior official fell, and Xiaolong Lake was also abandoned, and it has lost its previous reputation."

"According to what you said, how many taels would it cost to buy nineteen houses and Xiaolong Lake?" Xiao Ran asked.

The boss holds the abacus.

There was a thunderclap and the calculation started.

After counting three times, he put down the abacus and said seriously: "It's about 100 million taels, and I'll erase the odds for you, so it's 100 million taels."

"My Brother Xiao is a big customer, buying so many houses at one time, plus Xiaolong Lake, there is no discount at all?" Xiao Zhou interrupted.

"My lord, it's not easy for us to do it. We have to move the people who live there and buy it at a premium. It will cost money..."

Xiao Zhou interrupted him.

"Don't be miserable, we are all born and bred in the capital, and we know everything here. You just ask if there is any discount, and if there is no discount, we will change to another one. There are so many dental shops, and you are not the only one who can do this."

"The price really can't be compromised, and we don't earn much. But we can help you transform Xiaolong Lake, restore Xiaolong Lake to its former glory, and then send people to open up 22 sets of yards and build a fence , to connect Xiaolong Lake with the yard." The boss showed the greatest sincerity.

"Brother Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Ran looked at the owner of the dental shop, "When will this be done?"

"Seven days! Up to seven days, this matter must be done." The boss of the tooth shop said after a calculation.

After paying a deposit of 500 million taels, the dental office wrote a receipt.

Enthusiastically sent the two of them out.

Xiao Zhou said: "Brother Xiao, do you have so much money? How about I go back and ask my father to lend you some money?"

"It's just enough to buy a house, but we have to save money in the future." Xiao Ran said.

This trip to Qingzhou earned about 1000 million taels.

Coupled with the net worth accumulated before, it happened to be able to scrape together the money.

Xiao Zhou envied, "Brother Xiao, you have to treat me! Drunken Immortal Courtyard is a dragon, let us play openly."

"Aren't you afraid that your father will get the news and come to the Drunken Immortal Courtyard with a stick to block you?"

"That's right! Then let's go to Chunfangyuan, I don't believe he can still block me." Xiao Zhou changed his words.

"Okay! Go back and call your lord, as well as Chen Wenheng from Longyuan Academy. I'll call Lao Bai and Lao Zheng to get together." Xiao Ran said.

"Yeah." Xiao Zhou left in a panic.

The capital area is very large, and there are four county offices in total, Nancheng County Office, Beicheng County Office, Dongcheng County Office and Xicheng County Office.

The positions of the four major county governments are not high or low.

However, the Nancheng County Government and Beicheng County Government are undoubtedly more prosperous, and the residents are all dignitaries.

Xiao Ran's house is right here in Nancheng.

Taking out the identity token, the yamen servant at the door saw a blue sword guard and saluted respectfully.

"I'm looking for Bai Zhanyu." Xiao Ran said.

Bai Zhanyu is Lao Bai's full name.

"My lord, please wait a moment, I will go in and send a message to you." The yamen servant said.

soon.

Lao Bai walked quickly from the inside, and after a long distance, he opened his hands and hugged Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao."

Xiao then took a step back, "I'm not good at this."

Lao Bai was taken aback for a moment, then turned around, "It's me, Meng Lang."

"Are you free today?"

"Of course you don't have time when others ask, but Brother Xiao, you are different. Even if you are not free, you must be free."

"Slippery." Xiao Ran gave him a blank look.

I saw that his clothes had changed, and he was wearing the costume of Kuaiban headhunting.

"Have you been promoted?"

"It's a fluke." Lao Bai smiled triumphantly.

"Very good." Xiao Ran was happy for him.

"I bought some houses. It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently. I want to get together with you."

"Some? Not a set?"

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

Lao Bai swallowed hard, and stretched his head: "Brother Xiao, do you still have any shortage of sword guards? Can you see me?"

"What's wrong here?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Not as much money as you guys."

"We have a lot of tasks, and they are very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. If you are not afraid of danger, I can help you mention it."

"What about Xiao Zhou?" Lao Bai said.

"He's smarter than you, and he's very talented in cultivation, especially in agility. Even though he's only at the Grandmaster level now, even the average Grandmaster can't catch up to him."

Gollum!

Lao Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "This kid is too good at running, right?"

"When we came back yesterday, his father led a group of people to block him at the gate of the city. There were also two great masters who didn't even touch the hem of his clothes."

"Talent!" Lao Bai was completely convinced.

Explain to the yamen servant.

The two left together, on their way to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Lao Bai sighed: "Brother Xiao, you know? Lao Zheng hasn't been doing well recently."

"What happened to him?" Xiao Ran was surprised.

"Speaking of it, it's still wrong to say that the family is not right. Lao Zheng fell in love with the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the other party also has a good impression of him. If this situation continues, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice will not be willing to wait until the raw rice is cooked. Once the child is born When you come out, you have to pinch your nose to recognize it."

After a pause, Lao Bai felt worthless for him.

"While they were dating at Hongxianqiao, Shangshu Xingbu somehow got the news, and took them back on the spot. If the girl hadn't pleaded for mercy and forced her to die, Lao Zheng would have been imposed a series of unwarranted crimes at this moment. The crimes, ranging from distribution to the frontier, to death on the spot!"

"When did it happen?" Xiao Ran asked seriously.

"It happened after you left. He has lost his official position and lives in a rented house."

"En." Xiao Ran nodded.

Entering the alley, he stopped outside a remote courtyard.

Before I went in, I heard cursing from inside.

"You can't even pay the rent, and you still want to live with my mother? Before my mother can do anything, get out!"

The two looked at each other and entered the small courtyard without saying a word.

in the yard.

A fat woman with her hands on her hips, leading seven or eight guards, pointed at the closed door and cursed.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he looked back subconsciously.

When I saw Xiao Ran and Lao Bai, the former was wearing a set of black brocade clothes, top-quality silk fabric, which was expensive.

The clothes of the latter are not bad, although they are not as good as silk fabrics, but they also cost a lot of money.

The arrogant arrogance restrained a bit, and he asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"

"You are the landlord?" Xiao Ran asked.

"I am! You are?"

"What's going on?" Xiao Ran asked again.

"Hmph! He has been delayed for three days, and he still hasn't paid me the rent." The fat woman said.

"how much is it?"

"Two taels of silver."

Xiao Ran took out two taels of silver and threw it over, "The people who brought you get out of here quickly."

The fat woman has good eyesight, and judging from the way they are dressed, it is clear that they cannot be offended.

Furthermore.

Old Zheng used to be an official, so he inevitably knew some important people, maybe they just took the money, made an apology to Xiao Ran and the two, and led them away quickly.

"I've failed in my duty." Lao Bai blamed himself.

He had also heard a little about Lao Zheng's affairs, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable. There were also many things in the yamen, and he was busy with work for a while and neglected.

"It's not your fault." Xiao Ran said.

Come to the door here.

The door was locked from the inside, and he slapped it hard, smashing the bolt inside and entering the room.

in the bedroom.

Old Zheng had nothing to love, lying on the bed like a walking corpse.

His eyes are empty, looking at the old, dusty cobwebs above his head, and there is no life in sight.

Even when Xiao Ran and Lao Bai came, they didn't seem to see each other.

"Get up!" Lao Bai rushed over.

Grabbing Lao Zheng's clothes, he lifted him up from the bed.

Old Zheng remained calm and his expression didn't change a bit, allowing him to lift it up.

Seeing his appearance, Lao Bai was so angry that he raised his hand to wake him up. His palm was already raised, hanging in the air, but he didn't fall down for a long time.

"I'm so mad!" Lao Bai said angrily.

Throwing him violently, he was thrown on the bed.
