Five hundred and fiftieth chapters an eyesore tree
Chapter 555: The Eye-catching Tree
"I don't mind..." Yuanyuan slowly shook his head and said: "You don't know, right? The house where Master and I lived before actually had people die. After living there for so many years, why don't we still be fine? Those
Everyone scares themselves!"
After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, he saw Chai Yan looking at him with a surprised expression.
"What's wrong? What did I say wrong?" Yuan Yuan was slightly stunned.
Chai Yan said in an exaggerated tone: "Madam, it's not like we don't belong to the same family, we are indeed a match made in heaven!"
"What did you say?" Yuanyuan's pretty face turned hot, slightly embarrassed.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Madam, do you know? What you just said, I also said to Yaren today. I said that I have no taboos and am not afraid of haunted houses. Yaren looked at me like I was looking at a monster."
After hearing this, Yuanyuan covered her mouth and laughed, and then asked: "By the way, how much money does it cost to buy that house?"
Chai Yan thought that Yuan was worried about not having enough money, so he said: "Don't worry, madam, this kind of haunted house that cannot be sold is very cheap. Even if there are ten more like this, your husband can still afford it!"
"I'm not worried that you don't have enough money, I just want to know the price and don't want to live in a muddle." Yuan said.
"Oh..." Chai Yan nodded and replied: "Two hundred taels!"
Yuan Yuan was shocked: "So cheap? Only two hundred taels?"
"As for the haunted house, the price is already pretty good. It has been on the market for more than two years. It would be great if it can be sold!" Chai Yan said.
After taking a sip of water, Chai Yan continued: "Well, I will reserve this house early tomorrow morning and get everything done as soon as possible so that we can move out!"
"Yeah." Yuanyuan nodded happily.
The next day, Fugui arrived at Gaozhai early. Chai Yan had agreed with him yesterday that he would come over early in the morning to hear the news, and he would be given a final decision today on whether to buy or not.
After waiting outside the gate for about a quarter of an hour, Chai Yan came out. Fugui hurriedly greeted him: "Good morning, Mr. Mu!"
"Good morning!" Chai Yan replied concisely and clearly, and then said: "Fugui, I bought that house!"
"Mr. Mu, do you really want to buy it? A haunted house... is unlucky to live in..." Fugui still felt something was wrong.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Chai Yan said angrily: "You live with me? I don't even care, why do you mind?"
Seeing that Chai Yan had made up his mind, Fugui did not dare to say any more.
"When can the procedures be completed?" Chai Yan asked.
Fugui was stunned and said: "Procedure?"
"I'm asking, when can I get the house deed?" Chai Yan changed his explanation.
Fugui said: "Mr. Mu, today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and no one is on duty in the government office yet. If we want to get the house deed... I think it will be after the fifteenth at the earliest..."
"After the fifteenth year?" Chai Yan frowned and said, "How many more days do we have to wait?"
Fugui hurriedly said: "Mr. Mu, I also want to do it for you as soon as possible, but... But the rules in the government office are like this, there is no rush!"
Ma De, I have to take half a month off during the Chinese New Year. The life of a civil servant in this prosperous dynasty is too comfortable.
Chai Yan complained in his heart, and had to say: "Okay, okay, fifteen is fifteen, you should keep an eye on this matter, the sooner the better!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Mu, the little one will be taken care of!" Fugui was overjoyed and responded hurriedly.
At this time, Chai Yan took out a fifty tael silver note and said to Fugui: "This is fifty taels. In the past few days, you can find some people to clean the house and throw away all the old furniture."
, and then just buy new ones to make up for it, don’t be reluctant to part with it...come back to me if you don’t have enough money!”
Fugui was overjoyed and took the banknote with respectful hands, bowing and saying: "I understand, I'll do it right now!"
"Okay, let's go..."
Chai Yan waved his hand casually, and Fugui left happily.

At noon, Yanbo Tower.
In a private room on the third floor of Yanbo Building, a middle-aged scribe was standing by the window, looking at the Moon Island in Tianming Lake from a distance.
At this time, Moon Island was very busy. A piece of ground in the center of the island had been leveled and the prototype of the foundation was in place. Construction was expected to start soon.
There are ships on one corner of the island going back and forth between the two shores, constantly transporting wood and stone. It seems that the amount of work will not be too small.
The middle-aged scribe was not the only one in the private room, there were two people standing behind him, one was a handsome young scholar with an upright posture, and the other was a strong man.
Suddenly, the middle-aged scribe called out: "Yucheng, come and see..."
"Yes, sir..."
When the young scholar heard the sound, he immediately took a step forward, stood beside the middle-aged scribe, and cast his gaze out the window on Moon Island.
The young scholar is none other than Miss Chan'er's sweetheart, Bai Yucheng; and the middle-aged scribe in front of the window is the prefect of Yaozhou, Lang Xiong!
Magistrate Lang pointed at Moon Island, frowned and asked, "Yucheng, look at the two crooked trees on the northeast corner of the island, aren't they an eyesore?"
Bai Yucheng understood what this meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately replied with a firm tone: "Sir, those two trees are indeed an eyesore!"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Lang nodded slowly, then turned to the big man and asked, "Wei Yuanhu, what do you think?"
The other big man is none other than the leader of the Tieshan Gang, Wei Yuanhu.
Wei Yuanhu reacted a little slowly and did not understand the deeper meaning. He actually took a look at Moon Island and asked strangely: "Where is Mr. Lang, don't you see any trees on the island?"
"Idiot!" Magistrate Lang scolded him as soon as he turned around.
Wei Yuanhu was startled and quickly lowered his head, and he understood why in an instant.
The next moment, Magistrate Lang left the window, returned to the table in the center of the private room and sat down, staring at Wei Yuanhu quietly.
Bai Yucheng went to close the window gently, but when he turned around and came back, Wei Yuanhu still lowered his head and said nothing, and Magistrate Lang's face was already very ugly.
Bai Yucheng had no choice but to ask: "Gang Leader Wei, when will you find those two people?"
Wei Yuanhu did not dare to raise his head, lowered his head and shook his head: "This...it's hard to say..."
Bai Yucheng said with a gloomy face: "Gang Leader Wei, if you can find it, say you can find it; if you can't find it, say you can't find it? What do you mean it's hard to tell?"
Wei Yuanhu said with a helpless expression: "Since the people I sent came back that day, the man and the woman have disappeared. I...I don't know how to find them."
"In other words, you can't find it?" Bai Yucheng asked.
Wei Yuanhu nodded reluctantly and admitted.
"Trash!" Magistrate Lang cursed, looking very angry.
Wei Yuanhu's huge body trembled, and his head dropped even lower.
Magistrate Lang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest and said: "Wei Yuanhu, you have let me down so much..."
Wei Yuanhu knew that he was not doing his job well, so he did not even dare to take a breath at this moment.
Magistrate Lang knew that it was useless to scold him any more, so he lowered his eyes and began to think, and the private room suddenly fell into silence.
Soon, Magistrate Lang issued an order: "From now on, ask your people to look around the city. If you find anything, even if it is someone suspected of those two people, report to Bai Yucheng immediately!"
"I obey, little man!" Wei Yuanhu quickly accepted the order with his fists clasped.
