Chapter 495: Getting Tricked...

Since the Oirat students took most of the nobles from the Ming Dynasty to Tumu Fort and sent their heads, the identity of the honorary relatives plummeted in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Ce's status as a title is always good at his family, but after coming to the capital, he was not enough to see these civil servants.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter how many military achievements you have made and how great the title you have won, I guess you will have to avoid a fifth or sixth-rank official in the capital.

What's more, Zhao Ce is an alien lord and even a one-time title.

If it weren't for Zhao Ce's identity as a scholar, Butler Liu wouldn't have come to help Zhao Ce in person.

This is also the reason why Zhao Ce continued to study.

But now this house belongs to the Jinyiwei, even if Butler Liu has a good impression of Zhao Ce, he would not be able to follow him.

Not only can't follow him, he also has to go home immediately to explain what happened today to his master.

Once the Qingliu of the imperial court has something to do with the Jinyiwei, the people who are yelling below will probably be able to flood their Liu Mansion's door.

Seeing this, Zhao Ce bowed directly and said, "I'll ask someone to send Butler Liu back first."

Butler Liu looked at the weather and thought that their mansion was not far from here, so he nodded in agreement with Zhao Ce's proposal.

After Butler Liu left, Zhao Cecai raised his foot and brought Chen Wu behind him into the house.

After entering the house, he glanced casually and looked at the half-collapsed brick wall over there, his eyelids twitched.

Walking in and looking at the broken walls on this side, Zhao Ce finally understood what those people had just heard.

——The house is expected to be able to take action today...

It turns out that's what it means!

Zhao Ce walked into the hall helplessly.

Compared to the disrepaired walls and garbage on the ground outside, the hall is still pretty good.

Zhao Ce breathed a sigh of relief and took a closer look at the room.

The Jinyiwei Baihu, the surname Qian, looked at the fact that the butler Liu who had just appeared, did not look disappointed.

If Butler Liu followed in, he would be surprised.

Zhao Ce looked at it and was quite satisfied with the layout of the hall.

When Qian Baihu and Yaxing manager came in, they had already contacted the manager to inquire about Zhao Ce's identity.

He said enthusiastically to Zhao Ce: "The room is not locked, you can just watch it casually."

"If you like it, we can discuss the price."

Zhao Ce nodded, and Qian Baihu asked the maid behind him to take Zhao Ce and the others into the room.

Then he sat carelessly on the chair he had wiped casually, and the chair made a "squeak" sound that was overwhelmed.

Zhao Ce and Yaxing Manager followed the horseman in together, and the horseman was diligently introducing the layout inside the house to them.

The interior of the house is the same as the hall, not as old as the outside.

As long as you hire a few more people to clean up, you will probably be able to move in at the end of this month.

Zhao Ce took a rough look and was quite satisfied.

After returning to the hall, Qian Baihu was digging his ears without doing anything.

Seeing a few people coming out, I stood up and asked, "How is it? My house is big enough and the location is also good. If you are in a hurry to buy it, this is the most suitable one."

Zhao Ce nodded and said, "It's not bad. I don't know how much the price of Qianbaihu's house is?"

Qian Baihu heard Zhao Ce's charity and said with a smile: "It's not expensive, 12,000 taels are enough."

"I will give you the furniture in this room together."

The manager next to him was stunned when he heard this.

But after a glance at Qian Baihu, he didn't dare to say anything.

After all, although the Jinyiwei is not at a high level, ordinary people dare not offend him.

Zhao Ce was shocked when he heard this offer.

This time he came out, he brought out all the money he had earned over the past year.

There are more than 20,000 taels in total.

The house is going to be half the price at once, and if you want to do business again, it will be basically impossible.

Originally, the money I could spend my whole life happily in the countryside was a splash of money, but when I arrived in the capital, I couldn’t make a splash.

However, there is no shortage of people buying and selling houses in the capital.

Judging from the reaction of the manager next to him, the price should be much more expensive than the average price.

But who made Zhao Ce himself anxious to buy a house and willing to be a big fish?

Zhao Ce mourned the deceased silver in his heart, and could only bargain as much as possible and said: "It takes a lot of time and money to repair this house. Can it be cheaper?"

Qian Baihu was not impatient and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, we don't have to worry about selling the houses in our capital."

"If I hadn't been in a hurry to take action, I would have kept it for another two or three months, and when the students in the exam took their families to Beijing, the price of this house would have been even more expensive!"

The two negotiated, and in the end, the hundred households only agreed to be one hundred taels cheaper.

Zhao Ce thought about it and agreed.

The two immediately returned to their contract.

Qian Baihu signed first, and after signing, the contract was reached by Zhao Ce.

Zhao Ce looked at the name falling on the white paper: "Qian Ning..."

Looking at this name, Zhao Ce always felt a little familiar.

But for a moment, I didn't remember it.

After signing the contract, the two and the witnesses went to the yamen to sign the seal together.

Qian Ning also knew people in the yamen, and the procedures were very smooth.

After the contract was completed, Zhao Ce directly paid off all the money.

Qian Ning took the silver notes he received and said happily: "It turns out that he is a cheerful person. No wonder Mr. Zhao got the title of the emperor at a young age."

This is the silver note from the bank to silver, not the banknotes like the Ming Baochao.

Those who get to the money bank will be paid in full silver.

He never thought that this uncle from the countryside had quite a lot of financial resources.

Zhao Ce also wanted to buy charcoal, and Su Caier at home probably was anxious and stopped wasting time.

After saying goodbye to Qian Ning, Zhao Ce walked out of the yamen with the deed.

"Hehe, it's only 2,000 taels expensive. If I had known to call four or five thousand taels, I would probably be able to afford it."

After Qian Ning said that, he happily stuffed the silver notes into his chest and took his maid to take advantage of the day to have a big meal and drink.

... ...

Zhao Ce walked out of the yamen and a guy was waiting outside tremblingly.

Seeing Zhao Ce come out, he stepped forward and said, "But Uncle Zhao?"

Zhao Ce nodded in confusion. The guy looked around and then whispered to Zhao Ce that he was Yaxing's friend.

"We are in charge and send a young man here, so we need to notify Mr. Zhao about some things."

The Jinyiwei was protecting her just now, so she didn't dare to say much, so she could only send someone to tell Zhao Ce something privately.

"We in charge heard that Mrs. Bo is happy, so this house cannot be repaired for the time being."

After the guy finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ce with some fear, for fear that Zhao Ce would get angry at him.

After hearing this, Zhao Ce pinched the contract in his hand speechlessly.

Everyone in this capital is full of human spirits. No matter how careful I am, I am still cheated.

But I was really anxious and didn't ask clearly, so there was nothing I could do about this.

This guy was just passing the message, and Zhao Ce was too lazy to make things difficult for him.

"Okay, I understand. It's cold, go back."

The guy bowed to Zhao Ce with gratitude before he bent down and ran away with trembling.

Zhao Ce opened the contract in his hand and said helplessly: "Although the wall is a bit dilapidated, fortunately the room is still neat."

"I can only feel wronged Cai'er..."
