Chapter 31

Five days later, Chang'an.

The city walls of Kyoto are majestic and heavy. Due to the age, the edges and corners of the city walls are somewhat incomplete, but they add to the thickness.

Zhuque Street divides Chang'an into two, with Wannian County in the east and Chang'an County in the west.

The area under the jurisdiction of Wannian County is either rich or expensive, while Chang'an County is mostly populated by civilians and merchants.

Li Tianquan came to West City, Chang'an County early in the morning.

This is the place where Chang'an's commercial activities are most frequent. There are merchants from Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Japan; there are also Hu merchants from Persia and Dashi.

As he walked along, there were warehouses and wine shops on both sides of the street. Orchids from the Western Regions were either attracting guests outside the door, or singing and dancing in the wine shops, which made the West Market more exotic.

The reason why Li Tianquan came to West Market was to find a place to live.

Most of the surrounding area of ​​West Market is Lifang where common people live. There are many dental shops here, so you can find your favorite residence conveniently and quickly.

Although there will be an extra expense, it is far better than looking around in Chang'an City like headless chickens, and it is safer to find a house through these gangsters.

Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, where good and bad people are mixed together. If one accidentally gets caught up in the Tao, losing money is a trivial matter, but if one gets into trouble, it will be even more troublesome.

Li Tianquan didn't want to cause trouble just after coming to Chang'an, but after a whole day, he visited several houses and was not satisfied.

"Young Master Li!"

The Yaren from Yaxing is a skinny man, at this moment he complained nonchalantly, "Chang'an is very expensive, and the price of a house like this is already very reasonable."

Li Tianquan frowned. Living in Chang'an was not easy. He only had a total of five hundred silver now. If he wanted to buy a small courtyard, he would almost use up his savings.

But the days after that will be troublesome, there are still more than three months until Chunwei, and the food and clothing of the three of them, including their own reading and calligraphy, all need money.

"Is there any courtyard with a lower price?"

Yaren said helplessly: "My lord, if you are willing to buy a smaller house, the price will be much cheaper, but..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I really thought that a big house would meet Mr. Li's requirements."

"Oh? Let's see!"

"This one……"

The tooth man hesitated, as if he had something to say.

Li Tianquan saw it, and said directly, "But what's wrong with that big mansion?"

"Yes."

Yaren knew that he couldn't say no, so he said hesitantly, "This mansion is located in the east of the city. It is a courtyard with three entrances. The layout is reasonable and exquisite."

"It's just that there was a murder in the house before, and many people died. Many people thought it was bad luck, so it took a long time."

"But later, a wealthy businessman from another place bought it, but something happened in the house. Everyone said that the house was full of ghosts and haunted by ghosts."

"Later, some people wanted to buy it, and even invited monks and priests to exorcise evil spirits, but the results were not good. Over time, it was hung up in our tooth shop."

Yaren also knew something was wrong, and said in a friendly voice, "This house is not very auspicious. If I hadn't been driven into a hurry and my mind was confused for a while, I would never have said it."

"Haunted house?"

Li Tianquan hesitated for a moment, originally he was a little moved, others are afraid of ghosts, but he is not afraid, he thought for a while, and said: "If that's the case, then forget it, you can help me find out first, and then we can talk about it when we have a suitable house. "

If he had just joined the WTO, and he was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, he would naturally choose to buy that haunted house without hesitation.

But now after spending some time in the world, I know that in this secular dynasty, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and this Chang'an city is the capital.

How could there be such a bargain waiting for him to pick it up?
Li Tianquan guessed in his heart that this haunted house is either extremely dangerous and even the experts are unwilling to provoke it; or it is a bait to attract some stunned youths.

He dismissed the toothpaste and walked towards the Tongfu Inn where he was temporarily staying.

At this time, the drizzle was falling in the wind, hitting the bluestone ground, two lamps were hung in front of the inn, under the lamps there were many people, and the pedestrians were sparse.

There were a few hooligans nearby, seemingly casually wandering in the rain, but they enveloped the inn in all directions, ensuring that no one could escape their sight.

When Li Tianquan returned to the inn, he immediately noticed this scene, his heart tightened slightly, but his expression remained calm on the surface, and he went straight into the inn.

There was a middle-aged scribe nearby. His clothes were neat and neat, and he looked sharp. Seeing Li Tianquan's eyes brightened, he took out an image for comparison, and smiled sullenly, saying, "That's him."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards a nearby house, which was heavily guarded. He passed through the heavy blockade and entered a room separated by a screen.

The middle-aged scribe arrived in front of the screen, but instead of going up directly, he shouted, "Master Jiang!"

There was silence inside, and a voice said, "Come in!"

When Wu Chang entered, he saw a table of people, seven or eight of them, all of them were tough men, and in the middle was a burly man with disheveled hair, exuding a palpitating aura.

This person is the head of bad people in Chang'an County, a bad guy named Jiang Tianqi.

Bad people are a secret department in the Tang government, they are officials who are engaged in investigation and arrest, and they are small officials in charge of investigation and arrest in the Tang government.

But those who really know the inside story know the horror of bad people. Among these people are real murderers, veterans, murderous monsters, and even ghosts and ghosts hidden in it, unfathomable.

"What's your business?"

The middle-aged scribe only glanced at him, then lowered his head and said, "Master Jiang, the person you want to check, you guys have already found out, and they are currently living in the Tongfu Inn."

Jiang Tianqi pondered for a moment, then said: "You have done a good job, step back!"

After throwing away five taels of silver, the middle-aged scribe immediately smiled and said, "Thank you Jiangye."

Jiang Tianqi waved his hand, and ordered the next person to say: "Since the target has appeared, you should take someone to test it out, and remember not to make a big noise."

"If you can win it, bring it back directly. If you can't do it, don't force it."

Immediately someone took the order, turned and left.

Jiang Tianqi looked at the back of his subordinates leaving, and murmured, "If you dare to slaughter the court officials and come to Chang'an in an open and aboveboard manner, you are either confident or reckless."

"I don't know what kind you are?"

……

Li Tianquan returned to the inn, although he knew that he was being targeted, he was not afraid, Chang'an was different from other places and had its own rules.

Although he left a lot of loopholes in Jintai County, there is no evidence to implicate himself. Even if someone suspects, they can only test it secretly.

He now has Xing Tianyin body protection, and after the last blood sacrifice, his cultivation base has increased again, if someone secretly does something, it will just become his blood sacrifice material.

Of course, if there is really a strong person beyond the limit of his ability, there is also the green jade calabash.

After more than three months after the end of Chunwei, he will be able to learn from Wei Zheng, and if he succeeds in learning from his teacher, he will have another backer.

Time is on his side. As for the mysterious organization, after all, it is not visible.

At the feet of the emperor in Chang'an City, if they dare to attack, they will inevitably leave traces, and then they will be completely wiped out with the help of the imperial court.

When Li Tianquan was thinking about it, Jin Ping'er had already seen him, hurriedly opened the door and welcomed him in.

"Master, you are back."

The girl was smiling like a flower, she hadn't seen her young master all day, and she was in a different place, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried, and she was relieved when she saw Li Tianquan come back.

After serving Li Tianquan finished washing, he brought a bowl of rice porridge and two pieces of meat pie.

Li Tianquan ate with relish.

"Master, how do you look at the house today? Is there anything suitable?"

Looking at his handsome face, Jin Ping'er felt that this kind of life was very happy, although it was simple but very warm, thinking that the young master once said that he would give her a title, she couldn't help but blush.

I don't know when the young master will want me?
He was clearly talking, but he didn't know where his thoughts had drifted.

Li Tianquan didn't know what the girl in front of him was thinking, and sighed: "I didn't find a suitable house today, and when Lao Liang comes back later, there is nothing suitable, so I'll go to another dental practice tomorrow."

"Then I will accompany you tomorrow?"

"you?"

Li Tianquan shook his head and said: "The city is full of fish and dragons, it's too chaotic, don't go, just wait for me to come back.

"All right!"

The girl pouted a little unhappy.

"Don't be upset, I'll come back tomorrow and bring you your favorite Xiangyun cake and golden soufflé."

"Thank you, young master." The girl was innocent and innocent, and her melancholy came and went quickly, and she immediately became happy when she heard these words.

Not long after, Sun Changliang also came back, and he and Li Tianquan split up to see the house.

"Master, the housing price in Chang'an is too high. The house we want will cost at least five or six hundred silver."

It was also the first time for Sun Changliang to come to Chang'an, and he couldn't help but feel astonished. The Tang Dynasty was rich in products, and the purchasing power of silver was very high.

Five or six hundred taels of silver is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

"However, the Yaman told us about a haunted house. The price and the yard are very suitable. I wonder if the young master would like to take a look?"

Hearing this, Li Tianquan's eyes revealed a playful look, "Interesting... Is this a coincidence? Or is it a bait for me?"
