When he saw that the fat man in front of him was pale, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead in fear, and that he was obviously not very courageous, Li Yi almost understood in his heart.
This shop must not have been haunted, otherwise, the fat man would have moved away long ago.
In this case, you still have to take advantage.
Two hundred and fifty taels of silver, renting a shop like this and a small villa with a courtyard in the first ring of Qing'an City is really a bargain.
Immediately, he signed a contract with the Naya people for a one-year lease. He readily took out three banknotes, each worth one hundred taels. The man looked at it with ecstasy on his face. The little unhappiness just now had been abandoned by him long ago.
Went to the sky beyond the sky.
Two hundred and fifty taels of silver, the commission alone is enough to pay him for several months...
However, when paying, the young man insisted on giving him two hundred and fifty-two and one penny, which still made the guy puzzled for a long time.
Of course, maybe this is some kind of hobby of this rich young man, but these are not important to him.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, half an hour later, Li Yi held the contract with the government's red seal in his hand and looked at the shop in front of him with satisfaction. Within one year, the right to use this place will belong to him.
This is just a small step in the plan to make money. But it is a big step away from Liuye Village and officially into Fucheng.
"Little, little brother, what you just said...this shop is haunted, is it true?"
In the Buzhuang next door, the fat boss leaned against the door and looked at Li Yi with a pale face and asked.
"It's just a joke. Shopkeeper Xu doesn't need to take it seriously."
Li Yi gave him a kind smile, turned around and walked into the shop.
"call……"
The fat shopkeeper let out a long sigh of relief, and his body slowly slid down from the door of the shop, collapsing on the ground. He looked up at Li Yi with extremely resentful eyes...

The matter of renting the shop went much smoother than Li Yi imagined, and he was very satisfied with the store.
Of course, once rented, it cannot be put into use immediately. At the very least, it needs to be carefully decorated.
As for how to decorate, Li Yi hasn't decided yet, and Lao Fang and the others have been busy building a workshop recently, so they have to wait until they finish the work at hand.
After renting the shop, Li Yi was not in a hurry to go back. After closing the door and locking it, he walked around the streets around the shop to familiarize himself with the environment.
The Yaren just now is really reliable. This area is almost in the center of Qing'an City. It is extremely prosperous. There are many shops around it. You can see restaurants and brothels within a few steps. Not far from the shop.
It's just a small market, full of people coming and going, and it's very lively.
Li Yi also noticed that next door to the shop was actually a hook-up bar... to put it bluntly, it was a modern theater.
In this era without mobile phones, television, movies, or the Internet, visiting brothels, reciting poems, and composing poems were the most common entertainment items for literati.
Ordinary people can only listen to storytelling and opera, and Goulan Washe is the main performance venue for these entertainment programs.
If you get bored in the future, you can often go and sit here, have a cup of tea, listen to two songs, and kill time. It is also a good idea.
Of course, he doesn't have this leisurely elegance yet.
"Brother Liu, look, isn't that the same person from that day..." When Li Yi passed by a brothel, three young men happened to walk out of it. One of them looked up at the back in front of him, with a startled expression on his face. , then immediately pointed at him and said to another person next to him.
"Yes, Brother Liu, isn't that the person who insulted Fang Wentian and insulted Brother Liu that day?" A person next to him looked in the direction he pointed and exclaimed.
"It's him!"
The man who was called Brother Liu looked at the young scholar walking past them, and his face couldn't help but darken.
That day at the poetry meeting, he fell in love with the other party's maid, but the other party was unwilling to exchange the favor. He did not take him as the county magistrate at all. Although he was determined to retaliate, this matter would definitely not happen. Let's leave it at that, but with so many people present that day, no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do.
At the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, I heard that the man had made some good poems, and even Shen Zhao was willing to bow down. These days, there was a slight tendency to surpass Yang Yanzhou and become the number one talent in Qing'an Prefecture. He had a grudge against him, and in his heart Naturally very unhappy.
Although I also investigated him later, I didn't get much results. I guessed that the other party had no background and had a desire for revenge. However, I couldn't find him. After a few days, I almost forgot about this matter.
What he never expected was that he would bump into him here today.
"Follow me!" The young man named Liu said coldly and followed quickly.
Opportunities are not easy to come by. If we let the other party escape this time, we don’t know when we will meet again next time.
Although the safest way is to find some people first, we obviously don't have the time now, and there is only one person on the other side. The three of them have an advantage in numbers, so they won't be afraid of him.
The two people next to him looked at each other, with a trace of hesitation in their eyes, but they still followed him.
At the same time, Li Yi, who was walking on the street, suddenly frowned slightly and his steps slowed down a lot.
It was difficult to do anything in the busy city, so the three people stopped in a hurry and pretended to look around.
A dandy and two scholars, his tracking skills were really poor, and his acting skills were also poor. After all, Li Yi was taught by two heroines, and he soon felt someone following him behind him.
Looking back, the exaggerated acting skills of the three people stood out among the crowd.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his pace quickened, and he strode forward.
Seeing this, the three people hurriedly chased after him.
This time, he did not choose a crowded place. After a few turns, he came to a less traveled alley.
When the young man surnamed Liu saw this, a hint of joy appeared on his face. He was worried about where to start, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to walk to such a place. He gave the two people around him a look, and they nodded. He suddenly rushed out and stood in front of Li Yi.
"What do you want to do?"
Hearing the scholar's panicked voice, the young man surnamed Liu showed a hint of joy on his face and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Take action!"
"How dare you hit people in broad daylight and with everything clear?" The scholar's voice seemed even more panicked.
The young man surnamed Liu walked to the front, looked at Li Yi with a sneer, and said, "What happened to hitting you? Did anyone see it?"
When the young man named Liu said these words, the three of them were stunned for a moment when they saw the expression on the scholar's face. After looking around, a smile actually appeared on his face...
