The Bandit’s Strategy

【Chapter 27: Cheap but not white, but not white】The rent in the Boundless City is slightly more expensive

The Mu brothers were not surprised that Wen Liunian would ask this question-after all, no matter how you look at it, it is a strange thing in itself that a Jianghu sect rushed to help the government suppress the bandits, not to mention Mujiazhuang usually also Not very helpful.

Mu Wanlei had also made up a set of rhetoric long ago, “Mu’s original treasure was originally in the village, but was later deceived because his father’s credulous trust in others. After years of investigation, the original culprit is now in the vast mountains.”

"So that's the case." Wen Liunian nodded suddenly and asked, "What's the name of the culprit?"

Mu Wanlei replied, "Zhao Yue."

"Zhao Yue." Wen Liunian repeated, and then asked, "What does it look like?"

Muwanglei took out a portrait, apparently prepared.

After seeing the look of the man in the portrait, Wen Liunian took a breath, and said in shock, "It's actually him?"

Except for the Mu brothers, everyone present has nothing but worship.

It's not like ordinary people can have such godly acting skills.

"My lord knows this person?" Mu Wanlei was a little surprised.

"I don't know it, but is there any misunderstanding?" Wen Liunian still looked incredible.

Mu Wanlei frowned slightly, "Why did you say this, your lord?"

Wen Liunian said astonishingly, "I have met this person."

Mu Wanxiong's face changed when he heard this, and he instinctively glanced at his elder brother.

Mu Wanlei still looked calm, "My lord is familiar with him?"

Wen Liunian had three points in regret and five points in envy.

Mu Wanlei was confused by what he said.

"When the officer first took office, he had a relationship with him." Wen Liunian said, "The sky was thundered and the rain was pouring. Although it was noon, the sky was already faint."

Mu Wanxiong said, "Then what?"

Wen Liunian said, "The officer was still outside the city and had time to return in the future. Because he was unfamiliar with the terrain, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he was flustered for a while, and he accidentally fell off the ridge. Ling, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up in the sky, and then I saw this young hero riding a big horse with a tall head, the gods generally appearing on the ridge."

The picture feels so vivid that Mu Wanxiong was dumbfounded.

"Then he saved the lord?" Mu Wanlei continued to guess.

Wen Liunian nodded, "He gave me an umbrella." After that, he added, "And a steamed bun."

Mu Wanlei shook his head, "How credible is the fate of one side."

Wen Liunian insisted, "But the official still thinks he is not a bad person, and the people in the city also think he is not a bad person."

Mu Wanxiong was puzzled, "What does this have to do with the people in the city?"

"After being rescued, the official was grateful, but didn't know who he was, so he posted a portrait in the city." Wen Liunian said, "As a result, the people were shocked to the heavens, saying that they had never seen this before. Handsome handsome man."

Mu Wanxiong disdainfully sneered, it was really a remote place, and he hadn't seen much of it in the world.

"When the bookseller saw that it was profitable, he immediately opened the page and printed countless small storybooks." Wen Liunian took out a copy and handed it over, and exhorted, "When you go out to find the house, don't remember to mention anything. Enmity, otherwise the people will not only not rent a house, they might even drive the two out with a hatchet."

Mu Wanlei opened the small picture album casually, and saw Zhao Yuezheng in a majestic costume, holding a silver gun and playing.

…

"It would be a pity if he is really a big rapist." Wen Liunian sighed. "After all, he was born so handsome, and the officer still hopes to have a long conversation with him day and night."

Mu Wanxiong felt that... this adult is really... and not a girl's, so why do you look forward to a long conversation day and night when you see a good-looking person?

"I only met him once?" Mu Wanlei closed the small notebook and asked again.

Wen Liunian nodded, "There is only one side."

"Zhao Yue is definitely not a kind person. The reason why he didn't hurt the adults that day was either because there was no threat, or he knew the identity of the adults and wanted to take the opportunity to win him." Mu Wanlei said, "He was in my Mujiazhuang back then. There are no more than a thousand souls who died under that demon sword, but also hundreds."

"Really?" Wen Liunian frowned.

"Naturally it is true, otherwise, why would I have come all the way to this vast city?" Mu Wanlei said, "If you see it in the future, it's better to hide away."

Wen Liunian was silent.

Shang Yunze also said on the side, "I told the adults that day, which of the bandits in the vast mountains is not murderous, and you must not judge people by their appearances."

Wen Liunian sighed deeply, obviously unwilling to accept the reality.

Huatang said, "What baby was stolen?"

Mu Wanlei said, "This is my Mujiazhuang's private matter. It is not convenient to talk about it. Please forgive me, Zuo Hufa."

"Mu Zhuangzhu misunderstood, I didn't want to spy*." Huatang said, "It's just that when the two sides are fighting, if someone runs away with a baby, we don't know if we see it. Wouldn't it be a waste of time? ."

Mu Wanlei paused when he heard the words, and then said, "It's a colored glass cup."

"Liuli lamp?" Huatang said, "Red bottom and green edge moire?"

Mu Wanlei frowned, "Have you seen Zuo Fa?"

"Not really, but the palace lord also has a clouded glaze lamp. When the martial arts conference was held last time, the lord Mu Zhuang should have seen it." Huatang replied.

"So that's it." Mu Wanlei nodded. "My one is similar."

"This is much more convenient." Huatang looked at the sky, "Master, hurry up and take the two villagers to find a house, otherwise the people should go to work in the ground."

Mu Qingshan agreed and took the Mu family brothers out, and Shang Yunze naturally went along with him.

"Red glaze lamp with green edge and cloud pattern?" Wen Liunian asked Huatang after closing the door.

"Just talking nonsense." Huatang said, "test if they two are talking nonsense."

"Mu Wanlei didn't expect us to ask in such detail." Zhao Wudao, "I just want to deal with it quickly."

"Looking at his reaction just now, 80% of them are lying." Huatang said, "Otherwise, there are dozens of kinds of colored glazes in this world, so there is no reason for me to guess it."

Wen Liunian shook his head, "The more you talk, the less you look like a kind person."

Huatang smiled, "No one in the arena would regard Mu Jiazhuang as a good person."

"When will the head of Zhao Da go down the mountain?" Wen Liunian asked.

"About two days later." Huatang said, "It's just across from the house of Lord Shangbao."

Wen Liunian nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The weather outside was good, and Mu Qingshan walked in the forefront with people, going from house to house through the city to find the owner of the empty house.

Mu Wanlei said, "Master, can you go faster?"

Mu Qingshan hesitated for a moment, "I have already gone very fast."

Muwanley:...

Ants can trample to death several nests, which is also called fast?

Mu Qingshan was a little embarrassed, "Excuse me, you guys, I just walk slowly."

Seeing his weak appearance, Mu Wanlei had to admit his fate.

Fortunately, the abandoned and empty houses in the city are not too few. After leaving seven or eight houses, they can finally put more than two hundred people in Mujiazhuang in.

Mu Wanlei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this matter went smoothly-the only thing that blocked his heart was that no matter where he entered, he could actually see the portrait of Zhao Yue, which was really an eyesore.

Tired after walking all morning, everyone found a tea shed to rest. Mu Qingshan borrowed an abacus from the company next door, fiddled with it twice, and asked, "Does Villa Master Mu pay the silver or the silver bill?"

Muwanley:...

Mu Wanxiong:...

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Mu Qingshan added, "You have to pay for renting a house."

Mu Wanlei previously felt that Mu Jiazhuang had gone all the way to help suppress the bandits. Regardless of other things, at least food and accommodation should be entertained, but he did not expect or underestimated the thickness of the prefect.

Shang Yunze smiled.

Mu Wanlei said, "Silver ticket."

"The bank note is good and convenient." Mu Qingshan planned to take it, then looked up after a moment, "A total of 730 taels."

Mu Wanxiong opened his eyes wide, "Why is it so expensive?!" Even the best inn in Beijing, it's not so expensive!

Mu Qingshan said, "Because these are all abandoned houses."

Mu Wanxiong is a little dizzy, shouldn't the abandoned house be cheap?

"My lord has hired craftsmen from outside, and the craftsmen are already on the road if they plan to rebuild the repairs together." Mu Qingshan explained, "but if the people of Mujiazhuang want to live, they can only send the craftsmen back temporarily and miss the time to buy materials. All the money, plus the delays later, the price is already very conscientious."

Mu Wanlei said, "Pay the money."

Mu Wanxiong:...

Muwanley turned his head and glanced at him.

Mu Wanxiong took out the banknote and handed it over.

Mu Qingshan slipped into his hand, without even a word of thanks, and turned from a nerd to a little money fan.

Shang Yunze looked funny, and liked it more in his heart.

"Then we will go back first." Mu Qingshan collected the cash receipts and stood up, "After the two village owners have settled their subordinates, let's come to the mansion to find an adult."

Mu Wanlei nodded, "Thank you very much."

"You don't have to be polite." Mu Qingshan said farewell with a smile, and continued to stroll slowly back to the government office.

"How?" Wen Liunian was reading in the courtyard.

Mu Qingshan talked about finding a house again.

Wen Liunian was rather regretful when he heard the words, "I would say a few hundred taels if I knew it a long time ago." It's always cheap and not for nothing.

Shang Yunze said, "If adults feel that they are not accumulating enough money, the rent can be increased."

Wen Liunian began to calculate in his heart, how much is appropriate, but before he could figure it out, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard.

"My lord." The dark guard came into the courtyard to say hello-Huatang sent someone to Cangmang Mountain a few days ago, and first went secretly to check the general situation.

"Everyone has worked hard." Wen Liunian asked people to make tea, and then asked, "How is the situation?"

"The mountains are too big, even if there is a map of the second master, it takes a lot of time to find them one by one." The secret guard said, "but according to the news we secretly heard, these gangs have never entered the city since the master took office. After a long time of sitting and eating, some of them are almost unable to hold on."

"What does it mean that you can't keep going?" Wen Liunian asked, "Is it going to fight hard, or obediently surrender?"

"There should be both situations, but neither has yet to make a thorough decision." The dark guard said, "I should continue to wait and see for a while."

"What's the situation in Hutougang?" Wen Liunian still remembered the uncle Zhang family in the shantang.

"Failed to go up." The secret guard shook his head, "There is only a small road leading to the mountain. The defense is very tight. If you go hard, you will inevitably startle."

"It looks a bit tricky." Zhao Wudao, "East nest to the west, it's easy to disperse and fight, but it's a bit difficult to get a pot."

"Don't worry about fighting," Wen Liunian said, "Since some gangs have begun to hesitate and loosen, then find a way to solve this part first, and it won't be too late to fight the rest."

Two days later, Wen Liunian went to the new house opposite Shang Yunze and sat in the courtyard to drink tea.

After a while, Zhao Yue and Lu Chase jumped in from the back wall.

Wen Liunian said hello.

"What about the rest?" Lu asked, "Why is there only one adult?"

"It's all in the study." Wen Liunian said, "This official is here waiting for Zhao Da to be the master."

Zhao Yue is a little puzzled, what are you waiting for?

Lu Chai nodded, "Then I will go to the kitchen first."

Zhao Yue:...

You are too obedient. "

After Lu Chaun left, Wen Liunian poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yue.

"What's the matter with me?" Zhao Yue sat across from him.

"I talked with Mu Wanlei." Wen Liunian said, "He said that a few years ago, the master had blooded Mu's house and took away a moiré glass lamp."

Zhao Yue sneered, "nonsense"

"I know he has no basis, but I still want to ask again." Wen Liunian looked at him.

Zhao Yue said, "I said I hadn't done it before, so you believe it?"

Wen Liunian nodded.

Zhao Yue said, "Reason."

Wen Liunian said, "I think people have always been extremely accurate, from childhood to adulthood, I have never seen it once."

Zhao Yue stared at him for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"What is the big master laughing at?" Wen Liunian puzzled.

Zhao Yue said, "It's rare when it's not annoying."

Wen Liunian thought for a while, "Is the master talking about himself?"

Zhao Yue's expression froze, "I'm talking about you."

Wen Liunian said shyly, "I'm not annoying most of the time."

Zhao Yue looked disgusted.

"The tea is finished." Wen Liunian patted his clothes and stood up, "Let's go to the study too."

Zhao Yue put down his teacup and followed him for two steps, "Nerd."

"Huh?" Wen Liunian looked back at him.

"A few years ago, there were indeed hundreds of people in Mujiazhuang who died by the sword." Zhao Yue said.

Wen Liunian frowned slightly.

"But the knife was not in my hands at the time." Zhao Yue continued.

Wen Liunian was obviously relieved and probably guessed something.

"Let's go." Zhao Yue said, "Everyone is waiting."

Wen Liunian nodded, and went back to the study with him, seldom speaking again all the way.

It's really hard.
