This is the first time Meng Shuai has come to Shatuokou.

Shatuokou is one of the largest cities in Liangzhou, with a population of more than 100,000. This was the frontier between Liangzhou and Beidi. Since Jiang Dashui built Liangzhou and built another new city on the front line, Shatuokou no longer serves as a bridgehead and enjoys a rare decade of peace. Due to its well-connected geographical location, commerce and trade have become more and more prosperous.

Now Shatuokou is the commercial center of Liangzhou and has become the first city in Liangzhou. Merchants inside and outside the mouth gather here. Camel caravans with camel bells can be seen everywhere on the streets, and there are also curly bearded Hu merchants selling specialties from the Western Regions. There are even beautiful Hu Ji dancers in the wine shops, which cannot be seen anywhere else.

Of course, this is also one of the centers of Liangzhou martial arts. The martial arts hall, the escort bureau, and the entrance of the gang hall, interlaced and divided the forces of a big city into every detail, not to mention the prefect's mansion standing in the center of Shatuokou and the military camp outside the city. You can see strong men with shy breasts and belly everywhere on the streets, and at first glance they are martial artists practicing martial arts.

Although Meng Shuai comes from a metropolis with a population of tens of millions, it is the first time that he has seen such a large city with ancient style and appearance. He is full of interest when he walks around the streets.

After wandering around Shatuokou, Mr. Shui took Baili Xiao to the inn to rest. Meng Shuai found the real estate agent's Yashang. For things like buying a house, Mr. Shui would not come forward, so he left it to Meng Shuai to run.

Buying a house is a big deal, and Yashang likes to do the economy, but when he heard that Meng Shuai was from Gualingdu, he was not from Shatuo, and was young and had no mediator, he always bared his teeth and seemed very embarrassed.

Meng Shuai said unhappily: "I am a bank deal, and I am not a fool. What are you embarrassed about?"

The real estate agent shook his head and said, "Shatuokou used to be a major town, with strict controls. Not everyone can buy real estate. You have to be innocent locally, and it is best to have fame and fortune to buy it. Even those big merchants who come and go, they rent a house for a long time. If you want to buy a house in stock, your status is probably not enough."

Meng Shuai didn't say anything nonsense, took out a ingot of gold and stuffed it over, and said, "I know you have a way to think of a way, the price is easy to say."

The real estate agent took the gold and led Meng Shuai to a remote place, saying, "Brother, no one can do this, but the military government is pressing on both sides. Lord Ma of our prefect's mansion, regardless of other things, but this matter is very tight. You have to insist on it, either go directly to the prefect's mansion, and the money is spent, and it is not done in three days or two days. If you want to save money, you have to take some wild paths. I have a house here, which is not in the account book, it is my personal relationship. You go and find a guarantor. Let's take it quickly and take it in three days without delaying your affairs."

Meng Shuai saw that he looked like he was selling stolen goods, and he knew that the house was not a good place, but he leaned against a big tree and said without hesitation, "How big is the house? It's not useful if it's small."

The real estate agent took the map and said, "See, the house in Nancheng has two yards and ten people are enough to live in. But the ground is a little bit bad, and there are all civilian yards around, which is a bit noisy."

Meng Shuai said: "It's nothing to be noisy. I can go and see the house first - how much is the offer?"

The real estate agent stretched out his hand and said, "One hundred taels."

Meng Shuai raised his eyebrows and said, "The two-entry yard is only sold for one hundred taels? No, right--" He reached out and grabbed the real estate agent and said, "Don't fool me, there must be something wrong with this house, otherwise there will be no price. You are lying to me now, and I will find out and demolish your tits."

The real estate agent said with a bitter face: "Forget it, I'll tell you clearly, that house... is a haunted house."

The house introduced by the real estate agent is located in a small alley in Nancheng.

Most of the people living in the south city are poor, and the poor usually live in miscellaneous courtyards. A yard has to be squeezed into four or five families. The streets are full of cultures and fish and dragons, and the entrances of the alleys are even more smoky. There are thieves hiking around. The alleys are piled with miscellaneous things, so they cannot get down. Therefore, the land price here is much lower than that of the East City or the North City.

But even so, those who can live in a single hospital here are all wealthy families, mostly Hu merchants and outsiders, just because the houses here are easy to buy and less involvement.

Meng Shuai was taken to see the house and had to pass through a large meat market. Shatuo's meat is cheap and vegetables are expensive, and there are many cattle and sheep. The meat market has to kill dozens of sheep every day. The air is filled with fishy smell. This alone has already been discounted. Meng Shuai's expectations in his heart have to be lowered as much as possible. When he entered the alley, he found that the environment was not bad.

There are three families in a small alley. One of them is in the innermost part of the alley, and the other two buildings face to face. The house Meng Shuai was looking at is a relatively close to the outside.

When I entered the gate, I saw that the inner courtyard was covered with weeds, three main rooms in the outer courtyard, two wing rooms were locked, and a thick layer of dust was covered on the steps.

Although it was dilapidated, Meng Shuai took a rough look and found that it was still a complete yard with the main house facing south. Although there was no furniture in the room, there was still a kang. There was also a well in the yard, and there was a small flower bed overgrown with weeds in the backyard.

I can't hear the noise of the market from the yard. I think it's far away. Meng Shuai measured it and found that the yard was ten feet wide, so running was not enough, but it could build a training ground with all the internal organs. Seven or eight houses inside and outside are enough to live in.

In general, if you only sell a house like this, it will definitely make a lot of money if you only sell a hundred taels of taels of money.

Meng Shuai was already determined and said, "Where is the landlord?"

The real estate agent said: "To be honest, the owner is an escort leader of the Xueshan Escort Agency. Now he is going out to escort. He and I are relatives of the aunt and have already entrusted me with this matter. As long as the agreement is settled, when he comes back, he will pay the money and deliver the goods in the same way."

Meng Shuai pondered: "Snow Mountain Escort Agency..."

The real estate agent said proudly: "That is the largest escort agency in Liangzhou, the first one to go to the north road escort. It is the Fenglei Escort Agency that travels all over the world. In Liangzhou, the Snow Mountain Escort Agency must also be three points. The Chief Yue Escort Office of the Escort Agency is the personal disciple of King Xuemo. The landlord Hong Escort is also the personal disciple of King Xuemo. It is considered that King Xuemo's second disciple. If you tell this identity, Shatuo's mouth will also be shaken three times."

Meng Shuai nodded and said, "Since he is still alive, why is this house called a haunted house?" He looked around and smiled, "Don't fool me. I'll go to the streets and alleys to inquire, and there will be an aunt in a row waiting to tell me."

The real estate agent hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Don't go and inquire. What is rumored outside is all exaggerated. In fact, there was a murder in this house."

Meng Shuai nodded and signaled to him to continue saying that the real estate agent organized a wording and said, "The one that happened was the old landlord, and the uncle of Hong Cattle. He died at the same time in this family three years ago. Especially the death was unknown, neither a disease nor an external injury, and no one knows how he died yet."

Meng Shuai said: "What's the matter?"

Real Estate Management said: "Later, this incident became a unsolved case. After Hong Clauto inherited the house, he did not live in it and kept renting it out. However, the first tenant lived in less than half a year. The head of the family died of illness. It was strange that the legend of the house was revealed. Later, several tenants were replaced. Although there were no dead people, they all said that they had seen ghosts or their health was getting worse. After walking several times in a row, the rent was reduced again and again. Later, they could not even rent it out for free, so they had to sell it at a lower price."

Meng Shuai raised his eyebrows and said, "You can't even rent it for free, so selling one tael of silver is considered a profit. Isn't selling one hundred taels a big profit?"

The real estate agent was stunned and smiled and said, "You are so cruel... Such a big house, let alone the land, how much can you sell these bricks and tiles?"

Meng Shuai said, "Then you go and sell it." He turned around and left.

The real estate agent chased after him and shouted: "Let's go slowly, the price is not something that cannot be negotiated..."

The two bargained for a while, and the final price was set at 70 taels. Meng Shuai said: "Please take a floor plan and I'll show it to the elders in the family. If he agrees, then it will be settled."

The real estate agent agreed. Meng Shuai was quite satisfied. For him, haunted houses and other things are not only not worth fearing, but are a great thing. There is no way, he was poisoned too much by games and novels, and he always felt that haunted houses and haunted houses were equivalent to mission copies, and were a good place to hunt treasures and discover secrets.

If it were before, he would not dare to be so unscrupulous, but with Mr. Shui as his backing, ordinary dangers probably would not threaten this almost fantasy character.

When leaving the mansion, Meng Shuai was satisfied, but the moment he crossed the threshold, he was suddenly stunned and looked back.

A creepy feeling spread from the spine, and Meng Shuai shuddered.

Seeing that he had not followed him for a long time, the real estate agent looked back and saw him kicking the threshold in a daze and asked, "What's wrong?"

Meng Shuai shook his head and said, "It's nothing." He followed him out.

He had already felt someone was peeking.

On the roof, a man looked at the backs of the two men with condescending contempt and sneered in a low voice: "What, there is a fool who can't stop? It seems that he is going to move a little more."

When he returned to the inn where Shui Sigui lived, he pushed open the door, but saw a young man sitting on the bed. Meng Shuai was stunned and said, "I'm sorry, I've gone wrong." He hurriedly closed the door.

I heard someone shouting behind my back: "Come back."

Meng Shuai turned around and saw the young man pointing at him and said, "Come here to sit, how are you looking at the house?"

Meng Shuai was stunned, then stunned and said, "Can you... you are... water..."

The young man frowned and said, "I am your master."

Meng Shuai swallowed and looked at it carefully. He found that Shui Sigui's facial features still had the shadow of Shui Sigui, but he was no more than thirty years old. His eyes were bright and his temperament was calm. How could he be associated with Shui Sigui, who was chaotic at the time?

If the beard turns from white to black, it can be said to be a matter of blood and energy, then what is going on with this complete reversal of time?

Shui Sigui asked, no matter what Meng Shuai was thinking, “Can the house be found?”

Meng Shuai said "ah" and quickly placed the floor plan on the table. Then he briefly talked about the situation of the house. While watching Shui Sigui, he was thinking about it in a random way.

After hearing what Meng Shuai said, Shui Sigui said, "So that's it. Since there is such a cheap price, you can go and pick it up once."

Meng Shuai said: "I just don't know what the ghost is causing the trouble."

Shui Sigui said, "Although ghosts occasionally enter the world of the Huangquan, there is little chance of ghosts here. Most of them are people at work." He pointed to the floor plan casually and said, "The key is why. This alley is so good, it is almost completely isolated from the outside world. If you can hold all three houses in your hand, it will be a mess and you can't see it outside."

Meng Shuai's mind flashed and said, "You said... it was someone who wanted to monopolize this alley..."

Shui Sigui said, "If you want to know, go check the other two companies, and you will always get something. But it has nothing to do with us. What you need to do is to concentrate on practicing. If they don't mess with me, they will naturally be at peace. If they want to be troubled, it will not be too late to deal with it."

Meng Shuai nodded and said, "I'll go buy furniture and hire people. What are your requirements?" This kind of thing was already done when he was decorating his home in his previous life, but there was no IKEA here, so he had to go to the carpenter to get any furniture he needed. He often saw this in Gualingdu.

Shui Sigui said, "I don't care about these things. It's easy and easy. You can lay fine sand on the yard behind and build a martial arts training ground. Don't hire too many people, but remember to find a good chef."

Meng Shuai agreed to go. Yu Guang saw Baili Xiao lying on the bed, not knowing the situation, but had already changed into clothes. He was secretly wondering in his heart, and he didn't know what Shui Sigui was thinking, so why he kept bringing this person.

Since I have changed my clothes, I must have been searched.

Three days later, Meng Shuai saw the landlord Hong Cau Toutou. He heard that Meng Shuai only paid 70 taels. He was obviously unhappy, but he did not raise any objections. He just said: "Since you know that you still buy the house, you are prepared. If you have any problems in the future, it has nothing to do with me. Don't cause trouble for me. Life and death are in harmony with others, and there is no fault for others."

Meng Shuai nodded and said, "That's natural."

Hong Chope said, "Sign up and write." He put the deed and pressed his fingerprints.

Meng Shuai did as he did, and asked again: "I don't know who the other two families in the hutong are?"

Hong Chope said, "How can I know? I don't come often." After thinking about it, he frowned and said, "It seems that the opposite side was originally a Hu merchant's industry. After he returned to the north, it has been empty for several years. The one inside..." His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Yes, it seems to be a group of girls."

Meng Shuai said in surprise: "Girl doll?"

Hong Clauto thought more and more and said, "The one in the leader is quite beautiful. Although I have only seen half of it, I remember that it is a great beauty, and she is either rich or noble." He said, revealing some reverie.

When Hong Cautou went out, Meng Shuai had already become the owner of the mansion and sent it to the door himself. As soon as he left the door, he saw a carriage driving in from the entrance of the alley. It was a high carriage pulled by two horses. The carriage was hanging with black cloth curtains, surrounded by airtight, and it was barely driven from the narrow alley to the innermost point.

The innermost door opened and the cart entered, and the door slowly closed.

Meng Shuai's heart moved and immediately recognized it. The cart was the one he and Shui Sigui encountered while sitting on the official road. He still remembered the expression of the old woman in black in the car when she said, "Do you know which family we are?"

It turns out that the one she mentioned is this one.
