Especially when looking at him, he always dodges, and the description of this Hong sister is always flashed in front of him.
Never go into details! This is what he is most curious about, but no matter what, since this person is called Sister Hong, she must be a woman.
Luo Chen knocked on the door of Yagyu Sheng's room. This guy happened to be sleeping well and washing up. When he saw it was Luo Chen, he didn't even bother to pry.
Luo Chen was a little embarrassed. Knowing that this guy was still angry about what happened last night, he was not upset and sat down on his own.
"Ahem...Brother Liu?"
Luo Chen smiled playfully and was about to put his arms around. Liu Sheng glanced at Luo Chen, opened Luo Chen's paws with a wet towel, and said disdainfully: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. If you fart, just let it go."
It's been so long, if he still doesn't understand this kid's temperament, then he will be taking the blame these days for nothing.
"That's it..."
Luo Chen spoke, and Liu Sheng listened and wiped it with a wet towel. He nodded in understanding: "Then what? Do you mean to let me accompany you? What is the purpose?"
"I don't hit women."
Luo Chen was very honest. Liu Sheng was choked for a moment. He understood what Luo Chen meant. What did this bastard think of him?
"The door is right there, get out of here!"
"Can't we discuss it?"
Luo Chen was unwilling to give in and planned to fight for it again. Sister Hong would definitely take care of her. He thought Yagyu would be a good fit.
"You want me to throw you out myself?"
"I knew it wouldn't work. Okay, I'm just joking. Are you free? Come with me for a walk?"
"No time."
Liu Sheng refused directly. Seeing that Luo Chen didn't believe it, he gritted his teeth and said, "The folk tiles in the courtyard were trampled to pieces by a few wild cats. Manager Wei wants me to repair the roof."
Luo Chen: "..."
He saw Yagyu gnashing his teeth and looking sad and angry. He didn't know what to say. It seemed that he could only go alone.
There is an old residential area outside the first ring road of Licheng, but most of them are abandoned. However, at the outermost edge of this old residential area, an old residential area is undergoing renovation.
This old house is not very big. It has only one courtyard and not even a backyard. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the Zhong Mansion. However, this house is close to the first ring road of Licheng and the center of the inner second ring road of the downtown area. It has a great appreciation in value.
space.
In the house, a woman wearing a bright red fur was listening to the report coming from below with a gloomy look on her face. Her rather handsome face was beginning to become distorted.
"What a waste. You can't even look down upon me as a person. What's the use of raising you? Why don't you stop looking for me?"
Sister Hong was extremely angry. Where did this damn little girl go? She is so courageous! When you come back, I won't take care of you!
Licheng is not like Wuling County. It is such a big city. If the little girl really wants to hide, she will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack. This makes her very angry. If she had known that these things were useless, she should have kept an eye on them in secret.
!
That little girl can't be lost. In order to buy this house, she almost spent all her gold coins! If this little girl is lost like this, how will she live a luxurious life in the future?
Yu Wuling County did not come to Licheng for fun. Since Wuling County could not tolerate her, she would establish a foundation here. Sooner or later, she would return to the small Wuling County with a new identity.
, making those fools who disrespected and drove themselves away from themselves regret it! Horrifying!
…
Luo Chen found this place after asking around according to Li Ruotong's description. The houses here were one after another, with gray tiles and broken walls. It turned out to be dilapidated houses that had been abandoned for who knows how long.
As soon as he entered this place, Luo Chen frowned, feeling like he was being watched. This old residential area was densely packed with people. Luo Chen frowned and secretly wondered when Licheng had such a large number of beggars. This is the royal city!
But they don’t accept beggars. Where did this come from?
Although Luo Chen's clothes were simple, his temperament was extraordinary. As soon as he stepped in, he was surrounded by people begging for food.
Luo Chen frowned. These beggars were extremely dishonest. Although Luo Chen sympathized with these people, it did not mean that they could cause chaos.
With soul light exploding all over his body, Luo Chen sneered, grabbed the palm of a beggar, and took back the stolen money bag from him.
"roll?"
boom!
The three-star soul fighting master was so powerful that he scared the beggars around him and fled. Luo Chen frowned. He was becoming more and more curious. This Hong sister was really good at it. He was just surprised that Licheng was not Wuling County.
Once too many beggars are discovered, the city lord's palace has the right to expel them directly!
This is the lightest punishment. Entering the royal city as a beggar is a capital crime! Even if you are killed on the spot, your death will be in vain!
Not to mention that Licheng is still a royal city now, even if it is demoted to a first-class city one day, according to the iron-blooded laws of the Tiandou Empire, beggars are not allowed to appear in second-class cities.
Moreover, the city lord's palace without a city will never tolerate these beggars trampling on the city under its jurisdiction. Generally speaking, as long as one is found, one will be dealt with!
There are so many beggars, even if they sneak in, it is impossible for them to beg outside in a big way. Since they can't beg, there will be no gold coin income. In this case, what is the purpose of Sister Hong?
In order to avoid disturbing others, Luo Chen pretended to choose a courtyard nearby. The person in charge of the courtyard here was a famous merchant family in Li City, the Jia family!
"Manager Jia, why are there suddenly so many beggars here? As the person in charge of this place, do you just allow them to roam here? In this case, how can I live in peace of mind? Is this possible?
You bought a house with so much money and have to live with these beggars every day?”
Luo Chen pretended to be angry, but in fact he was inquiring about the courtyard where Sister Hong lived. Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Manager Jia looked around and made a silent gesture towards Luo Chen.
He winked at Luo Chen, led Luo Chen to a pretty good house, and ordered his servants to bring tea and snacks, and then said:
"Is the young master here to buy a house, or is he investigating something? If the young master is investigating that matter, I would like to advise you to come back, and don't risk your life in vain.
Luo Chen was stunned, what did this mean? Could it be that there is something hidden in this old residential area?
"What does Guanshi Jia mean?"
Luo Chen pretended to be puzzled, but a chill arose in his heart.
"This old residential area has been deserted for almost thirty years. Any local in Licheng who has some gold coins in their hands will not choose to buy a house here. Mr. Luo lives well in the Zhong family, so don't buy it here.
It’s all a waste of time.”
Manager Jia was holding a cup of hot tea, rubbing his hands to warm them, and taking a few sips.
"You know me?"
Luo Chen frowned, and Manager Jia nodded with a smile: "Although my Jia family is not as good as the Zhong family back then, it was once one of the three super aristocratic families in Licheng. Although it has declined and become a merchant family, some informants still have
Yes, besides, my Jia family and Zhong family have been family friends for a long time, so I generally know a thing or two about the Zhong family’s affairs.”
Manager Jia smiled and narrowed his eyes. Luo Chen was secretly shocked. They all said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This statement is indeed correct.
"To be honest, I'm not here to inquire about a certain person, as Manager Jia said."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Three or four days ago, a woman bought a house here?"
"It is indeed true. It is a small and a half-square house, and it is also an old house that has been split up. The transaction price at that time was exactly 50,000 gold coins."
Manager Jia nodded, his memory of this matter was particularly fresh.
Luo Chen secretly thought, and sure enough, he found the right place.
"What about these beggars? But they came with that woman?"
"Licheng is a royal city, so why is there such a thing as a beggar?"
Manager Jia denied it, but it was clear that they were a group of beggars before, but why did Manager Jia deny it so firmly?
Could it be that Manager Jia had received some benefits from Sister Hong, so he opened his eyes and told lies? That's not right. If that was the case, why did he tell Sister Hong the specific residence of the house? Luo Chen was very puzzled.
After leaving the old house, Luo Chen saw a series of ragged figures holding bamboo poles. The behavior of these people was very strange. Some people were standing on the spot holding a bamboo pole, and there were many children surrounding the bamboo pole.
Turn in circles.
Others were holding a broken bowl in their hands, clasping it on their heads, muttering something in their mouths, and then suddenly throwing it to the ground. The broken bowl shattered on the ground, followed by a burst of curses.
There are even some people who stick their bodies against the walls of the old house, motionless like geckos.
Are these beggars? How can they look more and more like a bunch of lunatics?
Luo Chen shook his head. In this old residential area, one house was next to another. The so-called streets were indeed too narrow. Even Luo Chen could only pass sideways through the gaps between the houses.
Luo Chen was very suspicious. If it were someone with a bloated body, why wouldn't they be stuck here and unable to move?
He passed through a series of narrow and dimly lit narrow streets. Suddenly, a skinny old woman suddenly jumped out from the intersection of the narrow streets. Even Luo Chen was shocked.
The old woman laughed, clapped her hands and shouted that she was having fun. Luo Chen had black lines all over her head, but she did not scold her. This old woman was crazy and as thin as a hemp pole, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.
Luo Chen took out a packet of paper from his arms, took out a piece of pastry and handed it to the old woman. The old woman's movements were so fast that his eyes were dazzled. When he lowered his head and looked again, the pastry in his hand was no longer there.
The old woman had her back turned to him, chewing something vaguely in her mouth.
Luo Chen's eyes began to become solemn, and at the same time he was secretly shocked. With his three-star fighting spirit master level, he had not caught even a shadow of the old woman before. This kind of strength is definitely beyond his reach now.
.
"Hehe... delicious."
The old woman opened her mouth and smiled stupidly at Luo Chen.
"Old lady, I still have a lot of pastries here. If you like to eat them, I'll give them to you." (To be continued)
