Chapter 77: Malicious price reduction, take it down
When Jiang Baiye rushed over, the old housekeeper and another dentist were talking to a greasy man with a big belly and a fine brocade suit.
It's just that the old housekeeper was no match for four hands, and was speechless by the dentist and the man, "Don't bully people too much, one thousand five hundred taels, I won't sell a single room!"
Good guy, 1,500 taels is too bullying, Jiang Baiye stopped and looked at Butler He.
"You don't know how to flatter. If someone knows that your house is haunted, it's a haunted house. I'm afraid that others will not come in."
"Nonsense!" The Old Housekeeper blushed and his neck was thick with anger, "Our main family has four generations under one roof, and our ancestors bless us. Ghosts will disperse when we see them. How could they be haunted? You are framing me!"
At this time, a young man who was also watching the excitement outside said, "But I heard that someone saw a hanged ghost hanging on a tree in your yard, maybe there is really something evil about it."
The crowd chattered in an instant, and this movement also attracted the attention of more passers-by.
The old housekeeper was in a hurry. If the reputation of a house is bad, no one will really want to buy it!
But he knew that this must be the trick of the big businessman Xu, "Don't believe him, this is the man who wanted to buy my master's house at a low price and deliberately slandered it. Our house is fine and nothing is wrong. I live in it every day.inβ¦β¦"
"But why did so many people in your master's family move away in such a hurry? It's not a problem." Someone made a doubtful voice.
This involves the privacy of the owner's house, so the Old Housekeeper naturally couldn't say it out, and his face darkened, "Anyway, I don't sell it, please go, Mr. Xu!"
As he said that, he was about to close the door, and someone in the crowd immediately sang, "This is a guilty conscience!"
"It seems that there is really a problem..."
"Hey~" Xu Biao, a big businessman, stretched out his hand to jam the crack of the door, and said with a smile, "I've always been a fair person, and I won't say anything casually, unless you ask us to verify that it's really all right."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Baiye and He Butler knew that this man must have done something wrong.
The old housekeeper of this house is also very suspicious, but he believes that he has been guarding the house every day for the past two days and has checked it many times, so there must be no problem.
Therefore, under the insistence of everyone, he also wanted to prove his innocence, so he let people in with a dark face.
The other onlookers also filed in. Jiang Baiye and He Butler were at the end, and they already knew the ending.
Unexpectedly, there were a few screams, and someone fell to the ground, "There, there..."
Following the direction of his finger, Jiang Baiye saw a long white silk hanging from the purple magnolia tree that he saw not long ago, and it was blowing arrogantly in the wind at the moment, and some snow fell on the ground, but not a single footprint was left on it.
Seeing that these strange people were frightened, even Butler He turned pale, "How could this be?"
The old housekeeper opened his mouth even more in disbelief, "Impossible, I obviously didn't see it..."
"He said it wasn't haunted, it's all like this, who would dare to buy your house!"
Xu Biao was speechless for a long time, and seemed to be terribly frightened, "Here, I don't want to buy it for 1,500 taels. If I live in it and cause death, or scare the elderly and children at home, or get haunted by ghosts, then it's over!"
He said it so seriously that the others couldn't help but shudder. Butler He knew that it might not be sold.
He looked at Jiang Baiye, wanting to persuade him to give up. After all, he would rather believe in something than believe in nothing. This kind of thing is not a joke.
However, Jiang Baiye's expression was as usual, he was not frightened at all, instead he looked at the white silk playfully, as if he was thinking about how to do it.
Light work?Although he has never seen it and doubted the rationality of its existence, it is not impossible.
Blindfolded?The transfer of time and space, people have intuitive and instinctive illusions and misunderstandings?
After thinking about it, he didn't come to solve the case, and he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. Even if there were ghosts, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Jiang Baiye jumped out of the crowd, and amidst the exclamation of everyone, he walked under the magnolia tree, and easily reached the white silk hanging high on the branch with his hand.
Someone already wanted to escape, and their legs and feet were weak.
Xu Biao even warned: "Little brother, one must be in awe. This is the object of the dead's soul. Be careful if you move it, it will cause trouble for the upper body!"
"Really." Jiang Baiye nodded seriously, but under the eyes of everyone, he tore off the white silk, wrapped it around his neck, and wrapped it around a few times.
"This scarf is quite comfortable."
Everyone, "..." I want to faint but can't, God, who is this?
"I just believe that if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and..." Jiang Baiye walked slowly to Xu Biao, and smiled slightly, "Evil can prevail over good!"
Otherwise, why did he live a new life after saving the little girl in the fire in the first life, and was reborn again after he was wronged?
If there are those, there should be a debtor and a debtor!
It has to be said that under his words and deeds, many pure passers-by really relaxed a little, and at the same time they felt that it made sense, the panic in their hearts easily disappeared.
But at this time, Jiang Baiye's eyes flashed, as if he had realized something, "In fact, it's not that difficult to hang this white silk on it."
Xu Biao looked at him sullenly.
He took it off and inspected it carefully, "This fabric seems to be a little special, very light."
He took it for everyone to touch, some people backed away in a hurry, and some were bold, hesitatingly stretched out their hands, Steward He and the Old Housekeeper also dared to touch it twice, amazed that there is such a light fabric in this world.
The next moment, Jiang Baiye measured the direction of the wind, immediately let go of his hand, and let it float away, just in time for the wind to hang on a tree.
Everyone was speechless for a moment, and half of their fear disappeared immediately.
"Besides, there are more ways..." Jiang Baiye found a long bamboo pole, picked up the white silk and hung it up again.
The onlookers felt very complicated. In such an atmosphere, not to mention being afraid, they were even a little ridiculous.
Jiang Baiye easily used his own behavior to break everyone's doubts about the haunted theory here, so what the hell is going on?
In the final analysis, the people behind the scenes took advantage of everyone's fear of this matter and their avoidance of this white silk, otherwise they would still feel something strange after touching it.
It is a good strategy to cleverly use people's hearts.
Xu Biao clenched his fists, "Brother is very courageous, but what does this mean, except that you are very courageous, and you can't prove that there are no ghosts here?"
However, not many people are willing to believe him, "I know the Wei family well, the house is safe, and the men in the family are very positive, so it is impossible for them to be haunted."
"Besides, no one has died in this house."
Butler He also helped to say a few words, and the Old Housekeeper of Wei's family was excited and moved, "Thank you, thank you for your trust. After all, my master's house is not short of the money, but for no reason, people splashed dirty water and insulted the former housekeeper.The house I lived in was terrible!"
"Some people maliciously lowered the price again and again, but they made a fuss and said they wouldn't buy it for 1,500 taels. I don't know if he wants to pay a small price for big rewards in return, but my Wei family is determined not to buy it."Do Chong Prefecture Xu's business!"
It turned out to be a businessman from Chong Prefecture, who is bullying their own government!
Xu Biaoyou was not reconciled, using the same trick, he got a lot of advantages, this was the first time someone saw through, he gave Jiang Baiye a look.
Where did you come from, you are in the way!
At this moment, the little guy said: "Old Housekeeper Wei, I wonder if I can buy your house with two thousand two hundred and two taels?"
The crowd was shocked. This man is smart, bold, and rich?
Two thousand two hundred taels is not something that casual people can get.
When the tooth dealer brought Jiang Baiye to see this place before, old housekeeper Wei happened to be away, so he didn't know that he was also one of the buyers.
If it was placed in front of Xu Biao, he originally offered 3,000 taels, and 2,200 taels would definitely not be too satisfactory, but the bottom line before the master left was 2,000 taels, and after this incident, if this person is willing, he is completely satisfiedYou can buy it at a low price when Xu Biao maliciously suppresses it.
But he didn't, not only didn't take advantage of others, but also helped his family clear up the grievances. Wei Old Housekeeper is very grateful to him!
"Although 2,200 taels is not the price I am satisfied with, and it is somewhat regrettable to sell it, but the little brother's enthusiasm for helping each other just now, his courage is really admirable! This old man is willing to be the master of the master's house, and he will give you 2,000 taels."I'll sell you two."
The crowd was in an uproar, and couldn't help but burst into applause. Some praised Wei Old Housekeeper, and some praised Jiang Baiye, but no one was jealous.
After all, such an opportunity was given to them for nothing, and they couldn't grasp it.
Jiang Baiye did not expect such a surprise.
He would have been very satisfied if he could get it for two thousand two hundred and two taels. The location is good, he can do business, and it's close to the He family, so it's easy to come and go, and we can take care of each other occasionally.
The important thing is, his mother likes it like hell.
Helping the old housekeeper, besides seeing that someone is bullying too much, it is also because if the haunted news spreads, his house will not be comfortable to live in in the future, and other rumors may be triggered at that time...
He won two thousand taels, and he made a profit. The Wei family didn't make any money at all, just barely keeping their capital.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the Old Housekeeper also took out a token, "Little brother, our Wei family has moved to Jiangnan Lingzhou. If you go there, I believe my young master is willing to be your friend!"
Butler He was stunned. The Wei family and their He family had been neighbors for so many years, and they were just acquaintances, not friends. didn't expect Young Master Jiang...
What kind of luck is this, what kind of cute ability!
Jiang Baiye accepted it calmly, and many friends had many ways, but Xu Biao was so angry that he waved his sleeves and left.
Not long after, the nurses who were among the crowd also left quietly.
In the afternoon, Jiang Baiye followed Wei Old Housekeeper to get rid of the house deed. Wei Old Housekeeper was also happy because he could go to Jiangnan to find the owner after selling the house.
During the conversation between the two, Wei Old Housekeeper admired him more and more, thinking of Lingzhou, but he must have a good talk with the master and the others.
Xuanhe Prefecture School, at this moment when the results of the quiz in the morning came out, Yi Fuzi's expression made one unable to make any sense of the matter.
When everyone was worried about it, he said Lu Lizhi's name.
"First class, number one."
The whole class is silent, can this take the first place in the exam?
It was agreed that they would not want to study after playing around outside, this must be hanging on their heads behind their backs!
Damn, slack, slack.
Yu Zhijie's smug smile froze on his face because of the plot against the dormitory. Is Song Haocheng acting out of order?Why is it that once Lu Lizhi comes, the first place can't be kept, it's too useless!
When thinking about these, he seemed to have forgotten his middle and lower grades.
It was no surprise that Song Haocheng took the second place in the exam, but Fei Hongyu was a little surprised, "Why don't you look annoyed at all?"
He is not very indifferent to getting a good ranking in the exam?
Song Haocheng thought to himself, how could he have a feeling of comparison with Mr. Qingyuan, he would only feel that he was out of reach, and even felt that he could not pass the test, isn't this normal and natural?
A group of students who were thinking of catching up with Lu Lizhi with their head attached to a beam while stabbing one's thigh with an awl would probably feel desperate if they knew that he, the number two, thought so.
After school in the evening, Lu Lizhi got his school uniform, and only remembered what Jiang Baiye had repeatedly entrusted to him.
"You are a family man, surely you can't sleep with others?"
"Why don't you talk, do you want to stay in the same dormitory with others, no way, don't you like to be clean the most? Those people will definitely disturb your study and study!"
"So it should be okay to ask for a dormitory by yourself? With your ability, it is still very easy to do."
It's really easy, just move out as a student of Prefecture Governor Yan...but he forgot.
When he wanted to find Professor Huang, he learned that he was gone in the afternoon, and went to drink with friends to listen to storytelling.
Lu Lizhi, "..."
And it is true that because he has a secret, he can't sleep with others. Now, what he gets along with the student uniform is a key to the dormitory.
Every four people in their class have a dormitory. don't know who the other three people are in the dormitory with him. Can they get through tonight...
The author has something to say:
Jiang Baiye: I came here with a 800-meter sword.
