Chapter 280 Wei Yu is deflated
After hearing Wei Yu say his purpose, Wu An frowned. He thought Wei Yu was only here to ask for some food at most, but he didn't expect that he actually opened his mouth to requisition his house.
I'm giving it up for you to be a military camp for you. Do you know how much money this house costs? This is a county town, a place where every inch of land is valuable. Although it is a bit remote, it is better than quiet and the place is big enough. Any house costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
To be honest, Wei Yu, a Yulin Army family, can never afford a house here for the rest of his life by relying on military pay alone.
Wu An looked at Wei Yu with a gloomy face. If he hadn't been a little concerned about Wei Yu's identity as a thousand-household army, he might have spoken and turned back.
But he can't just go back directly, it doesn't mean he has the intention of agreeing. He doesn't even want to pay money and food, so he can let him leave the house, what a joke.
Looking at the silent Wu An, Wei Yu quickly spoke, "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, my Yulin Army will not live in vain. We will give Mr. Wu a certain rent according to the price. I hope Mr. Wu will be convenient."
As he said that, Wei Yu's expression became a little worried, "Old Wu also knows the weather now. The dew is too heavy at night. If he sleeps in the wild, the injured soldiers will definitely not be able to withstand it."
"They finally survived the battlefield. If they died on the sickbed, it would be too unfair."
When Wu An heard Wei Yu say he would give the rent, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. If he had any connection with the Yulin Army, it would be fine. At that time, just a little bit of money and activities will be done by him. He can get a lot of benefits by relying on this rent alone.
But it doesn't matter now. Just relying on the rent alone is enough to do anything. If he really counts, it is not enough for him to hire a few servants to clean the house.
As for the injured soldiers Wei Yu mentioned later, he was even more disdainful. The injured were not his family members, and he was not concerned about his affairs. Even if he died on the sickbed, it had nothing to do with him.
So Wu An pondered for a moment and said in a dilemma: "This sir, it's not that I don't give you convenience, but this house is really inconvenient."
"I bought some ancestral objects here. Antiques and porcelain are everywhere. These things are easy to break but not easy to move. I really can't afford to lose."
"That's how it is."
Wei Yu nodded with some understanding, his face full of helpless expressions. After a moment, he couldn't help but speak again: "Old Wu, why not do this? We will not requisition your house. Please free up a small part of the room for us to accommodate the wounded soldiers. What do you think?"
When Wu An heard the word "injured soldier", he subconsciously showed a disgusting expression. Although this expression only flashed away, Xu San, who had been staring at him, looked at him. However, because Wei Yu was negotiating now, he just frowned and said nothing.
"I'm really sorry, sir."
Wu An said apologetically: "There are many female relatives in the other courtyard, so it is inconvenient to arrange it. I hope you forgive me."
"Why, our soldiers' lives are not as good as those antiques you?"
When Xu San heard this, he couldn't help it anymore and said angrily to Wu An: "This is just your private courtyard. Female family members can temporarily arrange for them to be hospitalized. If you don't want to borrow, don't borrow it. Why do you have to find so many excuses?"
"Our Yulin Army came from the capital to quell the rebellion in order to resolve the crisis of the besieged county town. As a result, the rebels have been quelled. That's how you treat us?"
"Xu San, shut up!"
Wei Yu looked at Xu San and said coldly: "Did you forget the military discipline of the Yulin Army? Do you want to eat military laws?"
"He also bought Mr. Wu's house for money. If he is willing to lend it to us, that is a matter of affection, and it is reasonable if he is unwilling. What do you mean by saying this? Could it be that he still wants to force it to rob?"
"old……"
Xu San was about to say something, but Wei Yu was interrupted again, "Shut up, from now on, you are not allowed to say a word."
After saying that, Wei Yu no longer paid attention to Xu San, who was a little angry, turned around and showed a silly smile as Wu An, "Sorry, Mr. Wu, my brother is a little worried about his comrades, so his tone is a bit heavy. Please don't forget to heart."
"No...it's okay..."
To be honest, Xu San's roar just now really scared Wu An. At that moment, he was a little worried about being robbed and even wanted to agree to Wei Yu directly. After all, just like Xu San said, this is just a different courtyard, and it would be really not waste any effort to free it up.
Moreover, the Yulin Army was just borrowing it temporarily, and it would not be possible to repay it. It would only take a break from some courtyard walls and mess up a little of the yard. It would be fine to clean it back, and it would not be a big deal to fight with these soldiers because of this little thing.
But after seeing Wei Yu's softening attitude, the idea that he wanted to agree was instantly thrown out of his mind.
He looked at Wei Yu and said hypocritically: "Oh, what this lord said makes sense. It is really hard for soldiers to fight, but I am having difficulties. Otherwise, I would never be so rude."
"However, although the house cannot be lent to adults, we cannot let the adults go for nothing."
As he said that, Wu An waved to the butler, took two hundred taels of silver from him, and handed them directly to Wei Yu, "You can ask the 200 taels of silver to take, which is my little intention. Please ask the lord to find another place."
"Thank you Mr. Wu for your kindness, but there is no need for money."
Wei Yu smiled and pushed the silver back, "The Yulin Army has very strict military discipline and I really dare not violate it."
As he said that, Wei Yu took Xu San and the others out of the door without waiting for Wu An to stay, and then bowed to Wu An slightly, "Thank you Mr. Wu for your kindness. I have to find another place, so I won't say much to Mr. Wu."
Wu An didn't care if Wei Yu confiscated these 200 taels. The 200 taels were originally intended to make a good relationship, so that if Wei Yu was useful in the future, there would be at least a basis for speaking. It doesn't matter if Wei Yu didn't accept him. After all, he might not be able to deal with him. Wei Yu saved 200 taels if he didn't accept him.
"I am really ashamed."
While Wu An said ashamed, he secretly signaled his servants to close the door quickly.
Wei Yu kept bowing with a smile, and waited until Wu An's door was completely closed. He suddenly put away the silly smile on his face and spat on the ground, "Bah, old bastard! What's the matter!"
"You still get in with him knowing he is not a thing."
Xu San, who was standing beside him, was full of aggrievance. When he heard Wei Yu also started to scold Wu An, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Our Wei Qianhu just now called Mr. Wu so kindly, why did he suddenly turn against each other again? Are you not going to continue shouting?"
"You know nothing!"
Wei Yu knew that Xu San was still angry, so he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He directly said to the few people he brought over: "What did I do just now? Have you seen it?"
"Just follow my actions just now, I will go all out of this house to see if anyone is willing to give it up."
Looking at the few people who were a little confused, Wei Yu gave another special reminder, "Remember, if the attitude is particularly bad, you can just talk about it and leave. If the attitude is good, you can persuade them as appropriate."
After hearing Wei Yu's advice, Xu San asked in confusion: "I said Lao Wei, what are you doing?"
