In the blink of an eye, Zhao Shouren had been sacrificing the River God for more than ten days. Tian Xiaoqian was practicing in the mansion. Suddenly, his heart moved and the entire River God Temple appeared in front of him.

A group of farmers came to the River God Temple with three animals blowing and beating. The leader was wearing a silk robe, with a fat face and a goatee on his forehead. At first glance, he looked like a typical image of a rich man in the countryside.

After the three animals were arranged, the man lit a stick of incense, then knelt in front of the statue of the River God, and kowtowed respectfully three times and said: "The Lord of the River God is here, and the villain is Zhao Guangfa, a commoner in Shangtai Town. His father has been dead for many years. For some reason, every night when he sleeps, he dreams that his deceased father was whipped by an evil ghost, saying that his father was asked to repay his life. The villain does not understand his intention, and hopes that the River God can tell him in his dream..."

After hearing the other party’s request, Xiaoqian depressedly took back the imperial edict. Her priesthood was the river god, who was in charge of the rise and fall of water veins. As for the matter of the Yinsi, this person should go to the Land Temple in the city to pray, so why did he come here?

This is completely like going to the wrong place. How could it be effective if you worship the wrong god? In nine out of ten, this person must have heard others mention that the River God is effective, so he brought three animals to worship him regardless of the thirty-one.

She kept this in her heart and planned to ask the other party to go to the Land Temple to pray to the gods at night.

Retracting his thoughts, Xiaoqian continued to bury his head in refining the River God’s Imperial Talisman.

Now that most of the river god's decree is refined, the waters within a radius of dozens of miles are under control. As long as you have something in your mind, a clear image of the Baishui River will immediately appear in your mind. Moreover, the Baishui River provides a steady stream of spiritual power, and many of the magical techniques recorded in the decree can be used. However, this power is not achieved by myself after hard practice. When she runs and controls, she always feels a little awkward.

Perhaps this situation will be improved when the imperial talisman is completely refined.

Chang Jin stayed at home for half a month, and then returned to the county town alone.

Although he has come to this county town many times, he often hastily and does not know much about it. Therefore, he has to trouble Wang Qinian when buying a house and living.

"Yunsheng, you really plan to buy a house in the county town. Is the money enough? If it is not enough, Brother Yu can still make up dozens of taels here." When Wang Qinian heard that Chang Jin was going to buy a house in the county town, he was a little surprised at first, and then spoke.

Tongqu County is adjacent to Dushui. From here, you can go south to Xuzhou, Sanqin and Liangdu prefectures in the north. In addition, this place is under the jurisdiction of Junzhou, which can be regarded as a thoroughfare of the four prefectures, and the county name comes from this.

Because of the convenient transportation, Tongqu County has a very developed business. The prices of housing in county towns have also risen, and some places are even higher than those in state capitals.

In a prosperous area, a set of two-in-yard is usually not allowed to be taken without hundreds of taels of silver.

Even the simplest three houses, one with a bed, one with a guest seat, and one kitchen, it costs at least thirty or forty taels of silver.

Wang Qinian thought he knew Chang Jin's family background and knew that the other party could not afford hundreds of taels of silver at a time, so he planned to help, which could be considered as repaying some life-saving grace.

"Thank you, Brother Qingyuan. I have ample silver and money here, so there is no need to worry about it." Chang Jin smiled and shook his head, and then said: "Brother Qingyuan is familiar with the county town. This time I just want you to help me see if there are suitable houses for sale in the county town on the street." He got hundreds of taels of silver when he killed Liu Xuli, and Xiaoqian sent a lot of silver from the shipwreck at the bottom of the river. Now it can be regarded as a small asset, and it is more than enough to buy a house.

I know that the other party has good intentions, but if you can avoid trouble, try not to bother others.

"I'm afraid this is not easy to find a house on the street. I haven't paid attention to it before, but it's easy to deal with. Let's go to the Yashang together. They have many tricks. I must know that those houses are for sale, so I ask the Yashang merchants to introduce them..."

"Tait merchant!?" Hearing this, Chang Jin couldn't help frowning, "Brother Qingyuan, you'd better ask someone else for your inquiries, don't pass by."

The foot teeth of the car shop should be killed even if you are innocent. After experiencing the incident of matchmaker Zhao, he has no good feelings for the people in the Yass.

"How can I not pass by Yaxing? This is a violation of the law. Yunsheng, you don't want to go to jail, right?" Wang Qinian was startled and stared at him in a daze.

"You have to go to jail without going through a yakuza?" Chang Jin was even more surprised. What a fallacy he had never heard of before.

Seeing the expression on the other party's face, Wang Qinian finally understood and laughed, "Yunsheng, it turns out that you don't understand things. You have been studying and studying, and have never dealt with merchants, and don't understand Yaxing. This dynasty's "Dayan Criminal Constitution" stipulates that "all land and house transactions must be protected by tooth, and violators are allowed to steal theft." If the house transaction is not involved, if they find out, they sue the official, then things will be bad. It doesn't matter to ordinary people, but Yunsheng, you are determined to be famous in the imperial examinations and you cannot lose the big ones because of small things."

"So that's it, I've been taught." Chang Jin bowed and bowed. When the three of them walked, there must be my teacher. If the other party didn't say it, he really didn't know that the Great Yan Dynasty had such a rule. To put it bluntly, this tooth merchant is no different from the intermediaries of the later generations of the earth, but with the support of the government, the transaction will be delivered to the door automatically. It's so happy.

"Yunsheng, what are you doing?" Wang Qinian hurriedly avoided.

Since we cannot avoid Yaxing, Chang Jin could only face it calmly: "It is better to hit the day than choose a day, so let's go Yaxing now."

Wang Qinian led the way in front and explained in detail the various things about the teeth.

Chang Jin was really eye-opening. The division of labor in this world of feelings is very detailed. Those who operate houses are called "Zhuangzhaiyashi", those who operate livestock are called "Five Livestockyashi", and those who operate livestock are called "Five Livestockyashi", etc., and there are clear laws that stipulate that they cannot be serialized.

When the two of them entered the tooth row, the guy who was napping at the counter immediately came up.

"My man, call out your shopkeeper." Knowing that such a servant is nothing to do, Wang Qinian didn't even look at him, and directly showed off his style.

"Okay, two young men wait." Seeing their scholarly dress, the guy immediately said ok and shouted in the middle, "Shopkeeper, there is a distinguished guest coming."

Soon a fat shopkeeper walked out of the inner room, greeted them with a smile with his eyes and introduced himself.

As for the previous guy, he picked up a pot of hot tea and brought it up.

After listening to the conditions described by Chang Jin, the shopkeeper immediately took out a book from the counter and handed it over: "Two young men, this is the storehouse book. Several streets north of Tongqu County are interested in selling houses on this place. You can take a closer look..."

"The Huang Yuanwai's villa in Qianmen, three times, two hundred and forty taels"

"One of the Li family's house on the East Street, one entry into eight rooms, seventy taels of silver"

“Back Street…”

Even though Chang Jin was prepared and read it all the way, he still admired it in his heart. The housing price was not as good as that of the Earth's modern day.

The cheapest one is more than 40 taels into the courtyard, and it is located in an alley.

Well... When I turned to the last page, Chang Jin couldn't help but exclaim.

"What's wrong, Yunsheng?" Seeing that he showed a strange look on his face, Wang Qinian came over and asked.

"Look!" Chang Jin pointed at one of the words: Qian Mousan, the Loufang gate of the north gate, entered the courtyard of Loufang, facing the street, with a total of more than ten houses and fifty taels.

"How could it be so cheap... The shopkeeper, is this entry wrong?" Wang Qinian pointed at this post and asked.

"You are talking about the Qian family's courtyard." The fat shopkeeper came over and looked at it, and said embarrassedly: "Two young men, there is no error in this entry, but I advised you not to buy this house. To be honest... there was once a haunted place."

"Haunted?" Chang Jin was stunned when he heard this, "You can tell me in detail."

If it is an ordinary person, the fat shopkeeper will naturally trick them into buying the house. Anyway, as long as you sign the document, no matter what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with you.

But the two of them are scholars. If something happens and they are pursued by the academy, they will definitely not be able to take care of it. Therefore, the fat shopkeeper dare not hide anything and tells all the things that happened in the room.

It turned out that this house belonged to a rich man named Qian in this county, covering several acres of land and was built a few years ago. Since the house was built, the house has never been safe. When the ground was started, a big snake was dug out from below. When several masons were sleeping that night, they dreamed that an old man with white beard shouted at them, saying that several people killed their children, and then the old man turned into a big snake and demanded their lives.

The next day, these masons went on strike and said they would not dare to build houses for the rich man.

In desperation, the rich man invited Taoist priests from the city to exorcise evil spirits. Afterwards, he invited a bricklayer to build the house.

Later, the rich man moved in and lived there. Not long after, strange things happened at home. At night, there were often bricks, stones, rubble, as dense as hail, falling from the sky.

The family members rushed to hide, and they were so upset that the rich man had to ask Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits again.

But every time I take care of it for ten days and half a month, it will be the same after that. The rich man's family is in a difficult situation and can only send the house information to the shop in a hurry.

Later, some people valued this house one after another, but shortly after each family moved in, they encountered ghosts and moved away one after another. The owner of one of them was brave and did not believe in evil, so he stayed in the house and refused to leave, which resulted in losing his daughter's life.

Since then, no one dared to make money.

Over time, the house gradually became deserted. Although it was located in a downtown area, weeds were everywhere in the house, and no one dared to enter in broad daylight.
