"Young Master, there are a total of three courtyards in Wuben Square that are for sale.
These are the blueprints of the three houses. Please take a look and I'll tell you in detail…"
A skinny tooth man was currently explaining to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian flipped through the blueprint in his hand.
He found that there were two two-entry houses and another three-entry house, which occupied a much larger area.
Li Chengqian, who had a huge sum of money, naturally had to choose. Therefore, he directly pointed to the third courtyard and asked,
"I want to know how much it costs to buy this courtyard.”
He did not expect that when he asked this question, the skinny man beside him started to stutter.
After a while, the other party said,
"Young Master, I suggest you choose one of these two houses.
Although the courtyard you mentioned is a little bigger, it's not very clean.”
Li Chengqian felt that it was baffling and said snappily,
"Not clean? Wouldn't it be fine if he just got someone to clean it up? I like a bigger yard!”
"Ahem, Young Master, you misunderstood me.
When I said it wasn't clean, I didn't mean that the courtyard wasn't clean. It was that this place was said to be haunted!”
The shriveled man hurriedly explained.
Haunted?
Li Chengqian blinked his eyes and felt that this matter was getting interesting.
He looked at the skinny man and asked,"
"Let me ask you, has there been any murder in this three-way courtyard before?
Or had anyone died in this courtyard? If there is, then I will go to the other two places.”
Although Li Chengqian was not afraid of ghosts, he did not want to be tainted by bad luck either.
Hearing his question, Li Qing, the commander of the guards beside him, became nervous.
He directly took two steps closer to Li Chengqian, instantly causing the skinny Fang man to feel a lot of pressure.
The tooth man thought to himself, The young master's retinue is so fierce. It seems that the young master's family background is not simple.
However, faced with this question, the tooth man shook his head and said,"
"Young Master, although this courtyard is haunted, I've never heard of a murder or death.
However, the owner of this courtyard wanted to move back to his hometown, so he chose to sell the courtyard.
For some reason, there were gradually rumors that this house was haunted.
Some buyers even paid a deposit before, but after staying for a night, they didn't even want the deposit…"
Li Chengqian smiled and said,"
"In that case, this young master will take this courtyard.”
"Young Master, do you want to reconsider?”
Li Qing, the commander of the guards at the side, hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to dissuade him.
"Yes, Young Master. I think these two courtyards are actually not bad.
Although it was smaller than the other courtyard, at least it wasn't haunted!”
The shriveled man said.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said," There's no need to consider it. It's just this courtyard. This Young Master isn't afraid of ghosts."
If there really is a ghost causing trouble, then this Young Master wants to catch this ghost and see.”
This…
The skinny man looked at Li Qing with a troubled expression.
After all, he felt that although Li Qing was a retinue, he should be able to speak.
Although selling this three-entry courtyard would allow the tooth man to get more commission.
However, the tooth man did not want to get into any trouble because of this.
Unfortunately, Li Qing was unable to persuade Li Chengqian, who had already made up his mind. He could only nod and say in a deep voice,
"Since my young master has said so, then I'll buy this three-entry courtyard.
But I'm warning you, don't think of cheating my young master with the price. Tell me a number first!”
Li Chengqian didn't get involved in the haggling and directly handed it over to Li Qing.
After spending some effort.
This three-entry courtyard was bought by Li Chengqian at the price of 6,700 strings.
As the Crown Prince of the Tang Empire, it was naturally inappropriate for him to put the property under his name. Thus, the ownership of the courtyard was placed under Li Qing's name.
As for the transfer of the land title, Li Qing followed the tooth man to the yamen.
"Your Highness, we've gotten a bargain by buying such a large courtyard for 6,700 strings.
Actually, if it weren't for the rumors that this courtyard was haunted, it wouldn't be a problem to sell it for 8,000 strings.”
Li Qing said after he returned with a stack of title deeds.
Li Chengqian smiled and said,"
"You said that this courtyard is rumored to be haunted. Of course, there will be a discount on the price.”
Li Qing nodded and said hesitantly,"
"Your Highness, forgive this subordinate for saying one more thing.
But after all…should we ask the masters to come back and exorcise the evil?”
"Why bother with these things? Or have you seen ghosts before?"
Li Chengqian looked at the other party impatiently and said.
"Cough cough, this subordinate has naturally never seen this person before.”
Li Qing looked embarrassed.
"Then it's settled! In Bengong's opinion, this courtyard is not haunted at all.
It was because someone had deliberately used Jianghu methods to lower the price of this courtyard.”
"Jianghu methods?"
Li Qing was deep in thought.
Li Chengqian nodded and said,"
"That's right. This courtyard is not a haunted house, and no one has died before. There's no basis for it to be haunted.
However, there must be a reason for everything. Why would there be rumors of ghosts in this house? It was worth thinking about.
So, since it's not haunted, but someone is secretly causing trouble, are you still afraid?”
Hearing the Crown Prince's question, Li Qing immediately puffed out his chest and said loudly,"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. If anyone dares to play tricks in the dark, this subordinate will teach them a lesson.”
"En, that's right, bengong also thinks so!”
Li Chengqian smiled and said,"
"Alright, don't put on such a silly look. Let's go in and take a look first.”
……
In a small farmhouse outside Chang 'an.
"What is it? That courtyard was actually bought by someone else?”
A fierce-looking man asked in surprise.
Opposite him was a short young man. He nodded and said,
"Big brother, it was bought by someone today. Our people were a step late.”
The fierce man pondered for a moment and said,"
"It's fine, you and Little Seven can go and create some trouble.
Just like last time, he just had to scare the person who bought the courtyard away.”
"Yes, big brother!" The young man nodded and turned to leave.
