1009: Property

Property

The aura she sensed and the sounds she heard did not match the calm scene before her. That was why she wanted to search for the formations around.0

If she did not have this pair of heavenly eyes, she would have missed it.

"This humble one knows about this house," a guard suddenly said. "I have relatives living nearby. This house has always been empty and no one lives in it. I heard that there are ghouls inside." 

Seeing that the master and the Crown Prince were staring at him, the guard immediately explained himself.

"The master of this house didn't cultivate. I heard that he was a very lustful man. When he was alive, he secretly kidnapped a woman and killed her. That woman's family came looking for him. The man was incompetent and pushed his wife out to deal with them. His wife was attacked by those who came to stir trouble and those who were watching the show. After being pushed, she even had a miscarriage. She was so sad and ashamed that she committed suicide and died.

"Later on, the man drank himself to death, his parents fell ill one after another, the servants died and ran away. The clansmen sold the house, but after the buyer moved in, something happened to the family. There were many rumors saying that the house was filthy.

"But that was many years ago. The house had gone through a few owners. The people who bought it would not last more than half a year and would sell it again. Now, even if it was sold at a low price, no one would dare to buy it. It has become a famous haunted house in this area." 

The guard knew quite a lot.

In reality... he did not know about such a mysterious rumor.

It was just that he had seen Master Mo too many times, so he began to be interested in this kind of thing. When he heard that there was a haunted house nearby, he asked his relatives about it.

"The location of this house is not bad, and the price is also very cheap. So... I initially thought of buying this house and then spending some money to hire a master to perform a ritual to chase the ghouls away. If that works, I will live here from now on..." The guard smiled embarrassedly.

"Your idea is pretty good. It makes sense." Xie Qiao nodded.

The guard was delighted, "Can you accept this job of mine, Master?! Although I have that idea, I'm also worried about delaying Master's matters, so I haven't dared to speak up!" 

"Won't you pay me? Of course I can." Xie Qiao acted as if it was a matter of course, then she was very serious. "I'm desperate for money. The rest of you are the same. You can voice your request... If you ask me to perform a ritual, I'll give you a discount." 

After saying this, the guard was about to jump up.

He looked at the Crown Prince with anticipation.

His family was doing quite well, but he had brothers at home. He was not the eldest son, so he would be chased out sooner or later, so he had always wanted to find a suitable house…

After following the Crown Prince for all these years, he had saved up quite a lot, but the houses in the capital were expensive…

The house next to it was alright and of the same size. It was sold for 18,000 taels of silver!

However, this one only cost 7,000 to 8,000 taels of silver!

It was more than cheap! It was almost like giving it away for free!

"Go." Zhao Xuanjing was quite lenient to the guards. He knew that this person could not wait to go to the middleman to come up with a deal before Xie Qiao got rid of the bad luck, so he did not stop him.

"Great!" The guard was over the moon. "Master, this house is mine. I'll give you a deposit to get rid of the bad luck first!" 

After saying that, he stuffed a hundred taels of silver notes to Xie Qiao and ran away.

The other guards had envious looks on their faces.

"This kid ran so fast. Could it be that he's afraid that us brothers would fight with him?!" 

"I didn't know that there was such a good place. If I had known before he did, I would definitely have bought it. Brothers are brothers, and real estate is real estate. Of course, I can't give it to him! It's a pity that we have to miss such a big house!" 

Saying so, everyone could not help but laugh.

They were really envious, but they were also quite happy. After all, with the words of the master, they could look for such houses in the future and gain some properties and benefits.
