"You ask for a price. If you can afford it, we will pay it, but if we can't afford it..." Fourth Master threw five taels of silver up, "This is for the military master's hard work."
The bearded man held a torch in his hand and caught the silver ingot with his other hand. After weighing it for a while, he looked at the fourth master again, "Okay! He is a man who knows how to do things and understands the rules." Then he turned his attention to Lin Yutong and the others, "
Six prime men, one woman and one child. That’s seven prime men. I don’t want many brothers. I want one hundred taels, so I’ll go up immediately.”
Lin Yutong gave the Fourth Master two small yellow croakers, both of which were five taels of pure gold. A total of ten taels. In addition, the quality was absolutely high, and if converted into silver, it could be exchanged for about 120 taels.
Fourth Master threw it upwards and said, "Catch it."
The bearded man stretched out his hand to fish it out, looked at it in the light, and was shocked. This was definitely not something that a small family could afford. He didn't ask deeply. It was so simple and straightforward to use money to do things. He glanced at the Fourth Master and said, "
OK! Brothers are very particular about things, so we won’t be in trouble." As he said that, he waved the torch, and Lin Yutong counted it, and the torch waved seven times.
Fourth Master turned back to Cheng Feng and said, "Come up, I'll carry you." Then he looked at Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong nodded, "I have no problem." He is not strong enough, but his skills are excellent. There is no problem.
The Fourth Master looked at Wang Wu and the others again. These were all young men, and when it came time to die, their potential was unlimited. A few of them nodded hurriedly, indicating that there was no problem.
Seven ropes were slowly lowered on the city wall. But before the ropes came down, the crowd quickly rushed up.
On the city wall, they only count the number of people and don't care who is pulled up.
The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong shot out their sleeve arrows, and instantly someone screamed in agony.
Everyone's footsteps suddenly paused.
At this time, the rope also came down.
Several people grabbed the rope and climbed up, but Lin Yutong's feet were pulled hard. Maybe he thought he was a woman. Lin Yutong was not polite and spilled the powder in his sleeve. The man screamed,
Then he rolled on the ground.
The bearded man who had been standing in the hanging basket couldn't help but take another look at Lin Yutong. He was so small and delicate, but he didn't expect to have such unpredictable abilities.
And Lin Yutong also consciously showed his hand. Sometimes, there is no clear boundary between soldiers and bandits. His family has already leaked money. If he doesn't take action to deter him, he will be killed by others.
She could have used many weapons to kill that person, but she chose □□ to make these people fear in their hearts.
The Fourth Master was carrying Cheng Feng on his back, and Lin Yutong was actually slightly below the Fourth Master. It was not until halfway up that the people below had no choice but to speed up.
When Lin Yutong reached the top, Fourth Master reached out and pulled her, and she fell to the ground smoothly. At intervals around, there was a person holding a torch. Lin Yutong counted ten in total.
Each of these people made ten taels of silver tonight, so they were considered lucky.
The bearded man came up at the end, looked at Fourth Master and Lin Yutong and said with a smile: "You really can't tell, you two really don't show their true faces." He gave a thumbs up, "They are very capable. They are rare in the army.
of."
The Fourth Master held up his hand and said, "That's a great reward."
"My name is Hu Da. I have been on duty at the North Gate. If you need anything in the future, brother, just come to me." Hu Da pointed to the passage going down and said to the Fourth Master.
Fourth Master said in a low voice: "Okay! It will definitely be useful to get Brother Hu. However, I won't treat you brothers badly."
Hu Dabao smiled and said: "I like to deal with people who are fastidious."
The fourth master then handed over his hand, pulled Lin Yutong, and led a few people towards the city wall.
"Let him go like this?" Someone asked in Hu Da's ear.
Hu Da smiled and said, "Don't offend this man, he is very cruel. Even that little girl who doesn't look big is a ruthless person." He pointed to the bottom of the city wall, "Tomorrow you will know when you take a look at the corpses under the city wall.
Don't cause trouble, otherwise you won't know how you will die."
The man nodded. Hu Da was famous for knowing people and had a good trick. Everyone obeyed his words.
The fourth master stood under the city wall and looked up. He really had to come here again. Judging from the current situation, even if the Yin family and the Lin family rushed to the capital, they might not be able to get in. He needed to find a way to get in on the city wall.
The family members were welcomed in.
The layout of the capital city, as Yin Laoer once said, is ‘rich in the east and noble in the west, poor in the south and poor in the north’.
It was precisely because the north was the poorest and the people there were not as complicated as those in the south city. Therefore, he placed the meeting place in the north of the city.
Walking forward, there are countless narrow alleys. After walking for a long time, I saw a lantern with the word "inn" hanging on the side of a small alley. The doors are all the kind of doors with upper panels, only
There is a barrier that can allow one person to enter and exit. There is dim light inside, and a young man in his twenties is dozing off with his chin propped up on his hand.
Chen Hong walked up and knocked on the door. He was the most lively of the five young men. It was said that he had worked as a waiter in a restaurant in the town.
Seeing that the waiter in the shop woke up immediately, he looked up and said quickly: "How many guests are there?"
When I poked my head out and saw all these people, I felt a little shy.
"Our father and young lady are staying in a hotel." Chen Hong glanced at the waiter and said, "Can you please open another door."
"There are many of you, so we have a room." The waiter said.
Zhou Jian answered: "It doesn't matter, our master has a land to live in. We will keep company with the second brother in the lobby."
When the waiter saw that it was a woman and a child, he felt relieved and opened the door. The store was very small, with only two main rooms and one upper room. Then there was the lobby.
"This was renovated in my own home. Anyone who is rich comes to our place..." the waiter explained, but felt that he had made a mistake, so he apologized and said with a smile: "I'm not talking about you two nobles."
The fourth master waved his hand and took Lin Yutong into the upper room. Lin Yutong left a couple of silver coins for the waiter, "If there is something to eat and drink, give them a portion, whatever it is, as long as it can fill them up."
The so-called upper room is a wooden bed, a quilt, a square table, a teapot on it, and nothing else.
But even so, both of them were very satisfied. I didn't stretch out or lie down for many days.
This room is not soundproof at all. You can still hear the sound of a fire in the kitchen outside, and Cheng Feng shouting with suppressed excitement, "There are noodles to eat."
"Tomorrow, I will buy a house first, and then make some arrangements to settle in the capital." Fourth Master said in a low voice.
This way they are not considered refugees and do not have to worry about being driven out of the capital.
Lin Yutong nodded, "This place is close to the North Gate, so why not settle here without attracting attention."
Fourth Master nodded, "I think so too."
The two relaxed their bodies and waited until dawn before getting up.
The waiter outside has already cooked the porridge, and there is only a pile of pickles on the table besides the porridge.
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong sat down, while Cheng Feng, Wang and five others were at another table.
While eating, Fourth Master asked the waiter, "Are there any houses for sale nearby?"
The waiter at the shop was stunned for a moment, then said: "Yes, yes, yes... the house must be too small for the guest guest to bring his servants. There are really not many big houses in this area."
Not much, but still.
Fourth Master said: "The price is good."
The waiter in the shop then said: "The biggest one is near the north gate..."
That's better.
Lin Yutong also looked at the waiter, "But they don't sell it?"
"That house... people say it has bad feng shui." The waiter said awkwardly, "The owner has gone to rent a house in the south of the city."
The fourth master frowned, "We are all lucky, so we are not afraid." Those who are not lucky can't survive now.
The five kings and others also feel sad. It's good to have a place to stay in the capital, and they don't care about feng shui or not. They dare to live in ghost houses.
Lin Yutong took another tael of silver and said, "Then please ask the second brother to find the landlord for us."
The waiter in the shop took the money, went to the kitchen to get a woofou, turned around and went out, gave the wowotou to the beggar on the roadside, said a few words, and came back.
It seems that he asked the little beggar to deliver a message.
It still took half a day to wait, because the customers in Tongpu left before dawn, and Tongpu became empty. The waiter invited Wang Wu and others to go in and rest.
The fourth master nodded, "It takes half a day to go from the south of the city to the north. You go and have a good sleep."
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master walked around the area. The gates of the capital were sealed, and the lives of ordinary people became even more miserable. The price of rice and grain prices also increased. The more they looked, the more worried they became.
When they returned to the inn in the middle of the morning, the waiter was talking to a man in his forties with a short beard.
This should be the homeowner.
The group of people followed the owner and returned to the north gate. The north gate is the first house on the east side of the road.
To be honest, standing on the city wall, you can see the situation in the courtyard. As a place of residence, whoever lives in it will be in trouble. If there is a female family member at home, they will not be scared to death by the evil men upstairs.
Therefore, it is not nonsense to say that the feng shui of this place is not good.
Even the fourth master couldn't help but frown. No one wants to live their own life under the supervision of others.
Lin Yutong stood in the yard, gestured with his fingers as a reference, and said softly to the fourth master: "It doesn't matter, add two attics, as long as the size is suitable, it can just block the view from above."
Fourth Master has no doubts about the calculations made by top students in the mathematics department.
This house is a large blue brick house with tiles. It was built five or six years ago and is still new. The yard is spacious enough and has two entrances. Both are the main house and a side room. The second entrance also has a small cross-yard. Just now
There is a back-seat room in front of the entrance, and a back-seat room behind the second courtyard. These are all for servants and girls. It also has a stable, which is particularly rare.
Lin Yutong nodded to the fourth master, who turned to look at the landlord, "How much money do you plan to sell it for?"
