"In eight days, come over and collect the debt. Now, there should be no problem, right?"
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, pretending to use his magical power to threaten.
Seeing this move, Chen Qing, who was still arguing something, stood up and said, "Okay, okay, no problem, then let's wait for Mr. Lan's good news!"
Fart, fart, fart, run away!
After running for a while, Chen Qing leaned on the wooden post next to the teahouse, panting.
"Brother Chen Qing, are we leaving now?"
"Otherwise? We can't mess with the miraculous person!? Doesn't this bullshit information say that he is just an ordinary person?"
"This...the information is indeed like this. But what do you want me to tell you? Didn't the capital ask me to take over the Lan Mansion in Xuzhou?"
"Yeah..." Chen Qing licked his dry lips. "This is also the first time I have seen the master be so eager for a house. I'm afraid there is some treasure hidden in it. No matter what, eight days
One thousand taels, can that guy Lan Chen do it? Hehe, he’s just a miraculous person, I’ll give you all the remedies first! Let’s go back and get back to life!”
On the other side, Lan Chen, who had driven away a few people, opened the money bag again. It was originally heavy, but now it was... empty.
Twenty taels, all gone.
[When you almost lost your life just now, what choice did you make subconsciously? 】
[Sacrifice? Twenty taels are gone? Could it be that I can use krypton gold to practice? 】
[It’s so cool. Others rely on liver, but I rely on krypton. If you use krypton once, you can increase the power of the next time you use the magic power. Tsk.]
[But these twenty taels? Maybe I can't simply copy the miraculous power. There should be a limitation...]
Lan Chen staggered, perhaps due to the sequelae of spending money, and Lan Chen's legs felt weak.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhou and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Master, are you okay?"
"It's okay, help me in."
"OK."
He didn't feel too happy about driving away a few people.
If the debt is not paid, the matter will not be resolved after all.
Enter the mansion.
A smell of decay came over me.
Lan Chen frowned and asked, "Zhu Laosan? Why is it so dirty inside? There are cobwebs and you don't even clean it?"
Zhu Laosan smiled bitterly.
When Lan Chen saw this scene, he seemed to understand something, pursed his lips, and then sighed after a while and said, "You have worked hard these days."
"Master? What are you..."
"It's okay, I can leave on my own. Take the mansion's ledger... By the way, how much property do we have in Xuzhou?"
"Master, I still had some properties before, but they were all sold off."
"Ah, here. Give me the mansion's expense account first, and then we can count how much gold and silver jewelry there is in the mansion."
"Everything has been sold. There is nothing valuable left in the mansion."
"Which bastard did this?" Lan Chen was a little annoyed.
Mansion?
What the hell is this called a mansion?
Even if it’s been in disrepair, it doesn’t matter if it’s a spider web, all the flowers and plants in the courtyard are dead, and the pond is full of stench!
Zhu Laosan was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Speak, I'm asking you something."
"Young Master..." Xiao Zhou on the side twisted nervously and said as if mustering up great courage, "It was your order."
"Ah... ok."
After exhaling, Lan Chen said solemnly to the two of them, "Thank you for staying in the old house, and thank you for never leaving me."
"Don't worry, just leave everything to me. Xiao Zhou has worked hard for you just now, so you should go and rest first. Zhu Laosan, you should be familiar with the mansion and its past properties. Bring the account book to the study and give it to me.
"
"Yes, Master."
After that, Lan Chen walked to the study with his memory in mind.
He left behind a figure that was a little lonely but also a little strong.
Unknowingly, Xiao Zhou and Zhu Laosan both had red eyes.
Especially Xiao Zhou, who couldn't stop crying. She had suffered so much injustice just now and didn't even shed tears. Now she finally revealed the fragile scene in her heart because of her peace of mind.
In the study, Lan Chen, who felt extremely strange, first lit a candle and then looked around.
After a while, he wiped the dust on the table and chairs with his hands.
Then he sat down heavily on the chair.
"Dad, and the ancestors of the Lan family are all sitting here, making decisions about the direction of the family. Ha..."
"Over in the capital, my father has been demoted and his life or death is uncertain."
"The deed of the old house in Xuzhou has been forfeited, and the debt is 1,000 yuan."
"Oh, it's a dream start. I belong to you. So what if I have no ambition?"
"Give up? Anyway, I'm just a time traveler, just... a time traveler!"
The scene just now kept replaying in Lan Chen's mind.
Whether it was Xiao Zhou's step forward or Zhu Laosan's sacrifice of life for righteousness, they all stimulated his 'conscience'.
That's why he decided to stay and deal with this mess.
"Now that things are done, I can... straighten my back and live in this new world. Let's think about how to redeem the house deed first."
Although Chen Qing and his group were definitely loan sharks, because it was written so clearly in black and white, Lan Chen had to admit that if the 'Xian Feng Suo' was alerted, it would not be something that could be solved with money.
Very quickly.
Zhu Laosan sent the ‘account book’ in.
At the same time, the Lanfu industry in Xuzhou was also explained in detail.
Listen...
Lan Chen couldn't wait to let go!
What the hell is this!
"Here in Xuzhou, our property has almost been sold off, and there is only one unopened dye workshop left."
“Who have the properties been sold to?”
"Mr. Chen." Zhu Laosan opened his mouth, wanting to add something, but remained silent.
Xuzhou's property was all given to Master Chen by the young master in front of me...
"Mr. Chen?" Lan Chen frowned.
"Yes, including the deed of the old house, it was also mortgaged to Mr. Chen... Young Master, you were addicted to gambling at the time and lost too much."
"Yeah, I understand." Lan Chen nodded.
He felt that there was something strange about this.
Why are they all mortgaged to Mr. Chen?
In my impression, he always hung out in Mr. Chen's gambling house, winning small and losing big, winning when he was discouraged and losing due to his heroic hand.
Now that I have calmed down, it seems like there is something fishy going on.
Cheating?
Is this Master Chen deliberately trying to eat himself and annex the Lan Mansion?
But what good does this do him?
"Could it be that this old house has some magical weapons, or is there something that makes the old immortal so coveted? Haha."
"This?" Zhu Laosan frowned. "I have only heard that, young master, your ancestors followed the royal family to expand territory, even reaching the sea. Maybe there is some treasure."
"If there is really any treasure, then please ask the ancestors to show their spirits quickly and save future generations. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Isn't there another property? What's the situation?"
"The dye workshop has not been profitable in recent years, master..." After a slight pause, Zhu Laosan continued, "The master has ordered the company to close down. The land is also rented, and the land does not belong to us. It is said that there is still half a year of lease.
.”
Lan Chen nodded, his intuition told him that if the workshop could work well, it would be a steady stream of income, but... money is tight now!
