Lin Mengya felt that Qinghu seemed to have something on his mind, but after careful consideration, she did not choose to continue questioning.
He has just gotten rid of his inner demons and is still in the recovery period, so he is definitely more sensitive to some things.
In order not to hurt Qinghu, she chose to respect him.
But she will never let go of anyone who hurts her Qinghu.
"Miss, we tried every means to extract a confession, but the man was bitten to death without telling anyone."
The Jackdaw Guard was also at a loss to interrogate Zi Nu.
But Lin Mengya was not surprised, and instead conveyed her order to them.
It’s a long night again.
Zi Nu sat on the ground and closed his eyes to rest, but the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The Fourth Young Master is calling him!
Under the cover of night, Zi Nu stumbled away from the back door of the Huo family mansion.
After hearing the news, Lin Mengya just nodded and asked people to leave.
"He is indeed familiar with Huo Zhai."
After lighting the wick, Lin Mengya gave Long Tianyu another coat.
The latter grabbed her hand and sat her on his knees.
"It seems that the Huo family does hide many secrets."
The next day, everyone in the old house started to pack things up, as if the purple slave who ran away last night was not important at all.
In line with her responsible attitude towards her master, Lin Mengya asked Wu Ying to follow her and register all the things that were almost stolen by those people one by one.
If you know where it is, put it in its original place first. If you don't know the specific location, keep it properly and put it in the warehouse.
The old house has been cleaned inside and out. Except for the worn bricks and tiles, there is no sign that it has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
And on the fourth day they moved into the old house, another group of uninvited guests came here.
"I want to speak to the person in charge of your family."
The leader was a middle-aged man with an arrogant look.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he clamored to see the person in charge.
In order to find out the truth about each other, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu both chose to hide, while Wu Ying went out to receive them.
"Are you the leader of the thieves who took over this place? I'm warning you, this is the private property of our Fang family. If you are wise, get out of here!"
The man opened his mouth and took off a big hat from them.
In an instant, Wu Ying wanted to punch the person out directly.
This is obviously Boss Huo's home, does it have a mysterious relationship with the Fang family?
But he knew that he couldn't reveal his identity easily, so he had to endure the tone and managed a smile.
"We are just passing guests. No one comes here to rest. And when we came, we didn't see any sign saying that outsiders are not allowed to enter. Moreover, The plaque outside the house doesn’t say ‘Fang Mansion’ either.”
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the other party became even more arrogant.
"It's not written that this place is also our family's property! I just followed my master's order and came here to clean up the house. If you don't leave quickly, I will report to the master and beat you out!"
Wu Ying also lost her good attitude.
"Whether it belongs to the Fang family or not is not up to you and your master to decide!"
The middle-aged man was probably used to being arrogant. He actually sneered and waved his hands and let his men rush up to beat people.
"Everyone stop it!"
A woman's voice stopped, and then Lin Mengya led a group of guards to firmly protect Wu Ying behind her.
The other party was a little surprised that they had so many people.
But when he thought of the Fang family's status in the ancient clan, the middle-aged man's back straightened a lot.
"What? Do you still want to hit someone?"
"Weren't you the ones who made the first move?" she asked with a worried look on her face.
"Oh, we just want to drive away the thieves who are occupying our private property. Also, don't think that I will be afraid of you because there are so many of you. This is our Fang family's land for hundreds of miles. You are tired of living.
How dare you go against my Fang family!"
The other party's arrogance and the fact that he was a member of the Fang family really turned her off.
No need to ask, she also knew which Fang family the other party was talking about.
She didn't have a good impression of the Fang family in the first place, and now she felt that the master of the Fang family was really not a good person.
"So that's it. According to this, this house is also your Fang's family?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"nature!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya changed the topic and looked at the other party carefully up and down.
"What are you looking at?" The middle-aged man made her feel terrified.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, she sat down on her own, and the music was much bigger than the other person's.
"To tell you the truth, we don't have to live in this shabby house. It's just that the scenery here is unique and there are no people around, so we want to be quiet. Since you don't welcome us so much, we can just leave. But there are so many
of money, you won’t earn a penny.”
As soon as he heard the word "silver", the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed.
Then, as if he had just come to his senses, he sneered and said, "Let's go? You can leave if you want, but you must pay the money you spent staying here these days!"
Wu Ying retorted angrily, "Why should I give it to you?"
Money? This place is so dilapidated, but our people repaired it!"
"Then I don't care! This house is still very good, but with so many of you living here, I'm afraid it's already caused a lot of harm to things. I tell you, you have to get the money, otherwise I will definitely sue my master.
It’ll be up to you how you end up!”
The middle-aged man went too far with his talk, and finally brought out the Fang family master to suppress him.
Wu Ying was so angry that she glared at him several times and walked out.
On the other hand, Lin Mengya, who had said nothing, was not as indignant as the other party.
"Actually, what you said is not wrong. Since we live in your yard, we should indeed pay. Why don't you tell us the amount?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she showed the intention of cheating her because she has too much money.
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, and then said with a serious face, "People like you deserve at least one hundred taels of silver a day."
"What?" she said in surprise, "It's only one hundred taels so cheap?"
The middle-aged man immediately regretted it, especially after seeing the other party easily letting people take out a thousand taels of silver, he was so surprised that his eyes almost fell from his sockets.
"Including the fact that we stayed here for four days today, that's a total of four hundred taels. It's not bad and not expensive."
As she spoke, she took out four large silver ingots from the large plate.
But the other person's eyes were firmly glued to it from the moment she took out the money.
This is equivalent to picking up four hundred taels for nothing!
The middle-aged man took the silver and couldn't help but take a bite on it.
Hmm! That’s a lot of money!
Unfortunately, he only has four.
Looking at the woman in front of him who had so much money that made him jealous, the middle-aged man had a plan in mind.
"Wait!"
Lin Mengya's face also darkened.
"What do you mean by this? You're not going to raise the price again, are you? You just said it yourself, one hundred taels a day, and everyone heard it. If you dare to go back on your word at the moment, I will go to your master to comment!"
She suddenly felt confident.
But the middle-aged man took advantage of others' shortcomings and was afraid of actually getting into trouble with the master, so he quickly changed his attitude.
"Miss, calm down, I didn't mean that."
His face turned into chrysanthemum folds when he smiled, but his eyes never left the remaining silver.
The greedy nature is completely exposed.
"I just think that instead of staying in an inn with them, it would be better for the young lady to live here. The surroundings are very exquisite. If the young lady stays here, she can enjoy it."
Lin Mengya said, "Just now you Didn’t you also say that you would drive us away? Why do you want us to stay this time? "
The man added, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! It's all my fault. I acted recklessly without asking questions clearly. You have a lot of money, young lady, so don't argue with me. As for this house, you can stay as long as you want. It's just
"
He looked embarrassed again, but his meaning was very clear.
Lin Mengya saw this and understood what he was referring to.
"Since that's the case, let's stay here for the time being. Don't worry, we won't default on the one hundred taels of silver a day."
She signaled to the guard and gave him the remaining six hundred taels.
The middle-aged man simply couldn't restrain the smile on his face and thanked him repeatedly.
"Oh, thank you very much, Miss. I saw that Miss is a cheerful person. Don't worry, you can stay here as long as you want. I won't disturb you anymore, let's go!"
Taking a thousand taels of free money, the middle-aged man left happily.
Wu Ying also walked in. He was just acting and did not leave.
"Why should the Master of the Gong family care about a greedy and shameless villain like him?"
It’s not that he feels bad about the money, but that it’s not worth it.
But Lin Mengya has her own reasons.
"The Fang family will not send people to our door for no reason, and his greed for money will be more beneficial to us."
Originally they came here just to avoid trouble.
Unexpectedly, one after another I encountered people who came to disrupt the situation.
She could also get rid of everyone, but the consequences would be too great.
It's better to let the Fang family, who are greedy for money, cover her up.
Just as Lin Mengya expected.
The middle-aged man was a steward of the Fang family's outer courtyard.
This time I came to the Huo family's old house to investigate, and I was also ordered by the big housekeeper.
He was not taken seriously in the Fang family, otherwise he would not have ended up in such a useless job.
Who would have thought that he was so lucky that he got such a windfall for nothing.
After using two hundred taels to dispatch the people around him and gagging their mouths, the middle-aged man went to report back.
"I've seen the big steward, and the little boy has already visited the Huo family's ghost house. Everything is as usual, nothing strange."
The chief steward glanced at him, waved his hand for him to leave, and went to report to the master.
"Bah! You guys have taken all the benefits. This time, I can't let you cut off my way of making a fortune!"
The steward said secretly, turned around, took the money, and went out to have fun.
In the study room of the Fang family, the master of the Fang family was reading a letter carefully.
"Master, I've sent people to check it out, but no one has been to the Huo family's old house."
