Everyone in Kaifeng accompanied the fourth son to buy land. When they arrived at the gate of Fanghua Garden, they had a hunch that the bidding might be fierce today.

There were no carriages at the gate, but there were quite a few entourages leading horses. Those coming on horses instead of cars meant that there were more people in the arena today.

The little boy's mouth started to pout a little bit, and he muttered in a low voice, "I might not be able to buy it for a while."

Zhao Zhen waved his fan to encourage him, "How come you can't buy it? Are you bidding? It's fun to grab it!"

The fourth son glanced at Zhao Zhen - Emperor, are you here to do business, or are you here to watch the fun?

Zhao Zhen happily walked in with a swagger.

The fifth master put his hands behind his back and looked at this youthful garden.

To put it bluntly, this is a big theater.

Sure enough, when we walked in, we saw the layout of a theater, and many members of the theater troupe were still practicing in the yard.

Fanghua Garden occupies a large area, with different small buildings and courtyards divided into different categories, which belong to different theater troupes.

The auction will be held in the Lotus Building, the largest building in Fanghua Garden, which is a two-story theater building.

The Lotus Tower is one of the best theaters in Lin'an Prefecture. The stage is in the middle of the small building and is shaped like a lotus. It is a lotus stage.

The first and second floors around the small building are full of sold-out seats. The first floor is for individual seats and the second floor is for private seats. This building is owned by the Lotus Troupe. The troupe comes out to sing at night and rents it out to the Chamber of Commerce for auctions during the day. The rent is not cheap.

There are many people attending the bidding meeting. Usually two or three people come and sit on the first floor, and those who come in large numbers go to the private seats on the second floor.

A large group of Zhan Zhao and others came in. The waiter in charge saw it and came over and asked, "Are these guys introduced by Xie Mansion?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and asked curiously, "How do you know?"

The waiter smiled and led everyone up to the second floor. He said that Mr. Xie had just sent someone to say hello. He said that some friends had come for us to help entertain them. They were all handsome guys, and there was one particularly cute kid.

Everyone looked at the fourth son.

Tuanzi's lips pursed even higher - meaning, Bai Bai and the others were the big handsome guys, Xiao Liangzi and the others were the little handsome guys, and he was just a kid!

Gongsun reached out and rubbed his son's face - Tuanzi had become more and more sensitive recently.

…

There were already quite a few people on the second floor. As expected, most people were from Jianghu today.

The fifth master was very lucky. Fortunately, his master, Yin Hou and the Demon King went shopping in the antique street just now and did not follow him.

As soon as Zhan Zhao raised his eyes, he saw the people from Crocodile Island. E Ming also frowned and looked at him, his eyes seemed to ask - why is it you again?!

Zhan Zhao turned his face - ignore it!

Lin Yehuo looked around and found that most of them were from the Jianghu community. They had different sects at each table, and there were all kinds of weird shapes and styles.

"Hey." Hall Master Huofeng asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang what sects these were, but Zhan Bai couldn't figure them out.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't know the Jianghu people, but most Jianghu people knew them. When they saw them coming, the Jianghu people felt bad... Originally, several sects were going to fight each other to see who could buy this land.

.As a result, this group of people intervened. Everyone knows that Bai Yutang is rich, and they can't fight even if they try!

There had been chaos at the West Lake, and people in the Jianghu community had already spread the news that Zhan Bai and the others had appeared here, and their target was the position of leader of the Jiangnan Alliance.

Bai Yutang belongs to the Tianshan sect, and the strongest sect in the north has basically established itself. And Zhan Zhao belongs to the Demon Palace... Which sect in the south of the Yangtze River can compare with the strength of the Demon Palace? Let alone one, even these ten together are stronger than the Demon Palace.

But ah! So Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang want to unify the martial arts in the north and south! Coupled with Lin Yehuo who controls the martial arts in the Western Regions, these three people seem to be preparing to suppress the current generation of martial arts!

At this time, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo, who were sitting together studying the bidding brochure with the fourth son, had no idea that they had unknowingly dominated the world.

The brochure provided by Fanghua Court has an introduction to various auction items today, and the information on the small building is more detailed...

This building was built in the previous dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. No wonder it is so dilapidated.

The owner of the small building is surnamed Li. Li's family has many buildings and shops, and they have always relied on rent collection. Recently, several shops along the street along the West Lake are going to be expanded, and they plan to sell this old building to raise money.

Usually when renting this kind of building, one would open a restaurant, teahouse or the like. Indeed, we had opened several quite famous restaurants before, and the business was also very good.

The last tenant of the small building was named Qian, and he opened a music store.

"Piano store?" Everyone felt a little confused. Is there a music store in such a good location? Does it only sell pianos, or is it like Tianyin Pavilion in Kaifeng City, which sells musical instruments and also sells music lessons?

Zhan Zhao asked the waiter who was serving tea. The waiter said that the Li family's butler was also here and asked him to come over.

The housekeeper of the Li family is called Li Fu. The old man is in his sixties and looks smart and capable.

"Gentlemen." Butler Li came over and bowed his hands to everyone.

Zhan Zhao asked about the general situation of the small building and how old it was.

Butler Li said, "This building has always been rented out as a restaurant. Later, the tenants found it too old and the business was not good. My husband originally wanted to renovate it, but then a wealthy boss came and said he wanted to rent this building.

He only opened a shop on the first floor to sell pianos, repair pianos on the second floor, and live alone on the third floor."

Gongsun was surprised to hear this, "Is the rent very cheap?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "The rent is not cheap at all, but that boss Qian is probably quite wealthy. He doesn't seem to care about this. The rent lasts for five years, and all five years of rent were paid off in one go."

Everyone was a little surprised - they had never seen anyone pay rent for five years at a time. Is this a scam or stupidity?

"We all joked before that this boss Qian really has money to spend. Five years' rent is enough to buy a prosperous shop by the West Lake. Others rent it because they can't afford it. He obviously can afford it and still rents it. Isn't he just selling pianos?"

Well, why rent a shabby building?"

Everyone nodded, which was quite strange.

"But that person disappeared after living there for about two years." Butler Li looked helpless. "The door of that building was never opened again, and the lights upstairs were never turned on."

"What about Boss Qian?" Zhao Zhen was curious.

"Who knows, there are rumors that he may have gone out to do errands and had an accident, or he may have gone to another place and didn't want to come back." Butler Li spread his hands, "But after all, they rented it for five years! The money has been paid, and we will

I can only wait for him to come back. As a result, five years have passed and no one has seen him. My father no longer cares about the business and has left it to the young master. The young master took a look at the building that day and said that it was too run-down, so he might as well sell it.

The money poured out will be used to renovate the shop."

The fourth son asked how much it was sold for, and the steward said it was twenty thousand taels of silver.

My fourth son’s budget is 50,000 taels, and I think it’s a bargain.

Zhao Zhen had no idea, so he asked Nangong - is it expensive or cheap?

Nangong also had no idea.

Fifth Master said, "It's like giving it away for free."

Everyone squinted at him.

Lin Yehuo did the math and compared the money he spent to buy a house in Kaifeng. He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, "I said, you are selling such a nice place by the West Lake for such a low price? Could this building be?

A haunted house or a haunted house?"

Butler Li waved his hand quickly, "Oh, of course not. As soon as the lease was over, we took the house back and took a look. The building is indeed very old, but no one died in it, it's just..."

Everyone looked at him - what?

"That's right, that boss Qian didn't clean up the house properly when he left. The house was covered with dust and cobwebs, and then there was a musty smell. Things like the house, let alone not living in it for a few years, just a few years.

If you don't live there for a few months, it will be eerie. So in fact, the 20,000 taels are the money from selling the land, and the building will definitely have to be pushed to be rebuilt. The buyer has to pay for the money for pushing the building and building the building.

"

After everyone listened, they all looked at Bai Yutang. What does that mean - is it a good deal?

Master Wu raised his eyebrows while holding the tea cup, "This price is just free."

Butler Li smiled and nodded, and everyone went to see the fourth son again - how is it?

The fourth son did some calculations in his mind and thought it was a good deal! It doesn't cost much money to build a small building. It's worth buying such a good land for 20,000 taels! The remaining money may be enough to buy a shop!

Zhan Zhao thought it was indeed a good deal, but after looking at the crowds of people in the building, he guessed it wouldn't be that easy to buy.

"You guys, I heard that you are friends with Mr. Xie?" Butler Li probably heard what the waiter said just now, so he asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Uh, let me ask, is this a business deal when you buy it?"

Everyone looks at the fourth son.

The fourth son asked the housekeeper, "Uncle Li, have you been to Kaifeng City?"

Butler Li nodded and looked at the little boy, wondering why this baby looks so cute!

"Then have you ever eaten Manji's dim sum?"

"Oh!" Mr. Li nodded, "Remember it all! I know, I know!"

Zhan Zhao said that he bought this small building to open a full Jiangnan branch.

Butler Li touched his beard and nodded, "That's right, uh... otherwise, let's just settle it like this. The deal is 20,000 taels. I'll go tell the person at the chamber of commerce over there and we'll withdraw the order and let them continue shooting."

From another family."

Everyone was surprised, is this okay? Is it because the fourth child is cute?

Everyone looked at the dumplings - they were really cute and could be eaten!

Zhao Pu was puzzled, "Why?"
