Chapter 311: Manor Shadow (2)
Want to go to Wuyue City?" Xiao Han frowned. The town of Wuyue City was a little bit like this. It took at least one day to go back and forth, and more importantly, he didn't want to waste time.
"Let's do this, old housekeeper, we really want to buy this manor, but we still have important things to do, so we can't delay it here. I think there is a magic communication equipment in this town that can contact Wuyue City. Send a message to Viscount Xia and ask him to send someone to come with a contract document. We can pay the money and deliver the manor at the same time. This will save at least half a day, so you don't have to travel and work hard, right?" Xiao Han suggested.
"There are magical communication equipment, but in the hands of the guardian, if it were not for the urgent matter, I'm afraid..." The old butler was embarrassed.
"If it's because of money, I'll pay for it." This place is located in the country of Dayue, and there has been no war for a long time. Magic communications have probably been used for other purposes, but military communications are naturally very expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people. Xiao Han has long understood this.
"Okay, just do what the young master said, but I don't know if it can be done. This communication requires..." The old butler stretched out five fingers awkwardly.
"Five hundred gold coins, right?" Yu took out five hundred gold coins and said to the old housekeeper, "Give it to you!"
"Miss Xie, I'll do it for you now!" The hometown excitedly took the gold coins, and the old arms and legs disappeared in front of the two of them.
In less than half an hour, the old butler turned red and panting back to the manor, and found Xiao Han and the other two who were watching everywhere in the manor.
"Young Master, Miss, Lord Viscount has agreed. The Central Committee sent someone to come to the settlement with the contract document."
"Have the old butler told Xia Zijiu that the price of the manor is?" Xiao Han asked with a smile.
"I said that. Lord Viscount was very happy to praise him when he heard this." The old housekeeper said with an excited face flushed.
"The old butler said that the land is not 50,000 gold coins?" Xiao Han smiled at him and said meaningfully.
"Young Master, don't scare the old man. I dare not deceive Lord Viscount!" The old housekeeper said with his eyes dodging.
"You have earned us four hundred gold coins before. Now you have said 10,000 gold coins to your landlord. Compared to this 10,000 gold coins, do you plan to join forces with the landlord to hand over the contract documents?" Xiao Han's spiritual sense had never left the old housekeeper. He knew everything he said to Viscount Xia without falling into the ground.
The old housekeeper who can quietly embezzle such a huge sum of money is not an ordinary person. No wonder Xia Zijiu sent him here to guard the manor.
"Young master, Miss. Don't..." The old butler knelt in front of the two of them with a pounce, begging them not to report the news.
"Old butler, we won't tell you that just 10,000 gold coins are nothing, but buildings like manors will have architectural drawings. My young master wants to rebuild this manor. It would be better if he could find the drawings for building this manor." Chen Yu and Xiao Han had already smiled in a sensible way and stepped forward to say to the old butler.
"Architectural drawings, architectural drawings, there are..." The old butler muttered and counted. * Mu Xi looked up and seemed to remember something.
"Where is it?" Xiao Han and Chen Yu looked at each other when they heard this, and both of them smiled.
"Just at the little old man's home. A few days ago, a little old man's leather robe broke. He remembered that he had a piece of animal skin at home, so he sewed it on the leather robe. The pattern on it seemed to be this manor..."
"Take us to get it!" Xiao Han said anxiously.
"Two, come with me!" The old butler straightened up and took the two of them through the manor. After a moment, he came to a corner of the manor, where several rooms were built. It was originally a woodshed in the manor. After the old butler was sent here, he became his residence, and lived there for thirty years.
As soon as he got home, the old butler rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and searched everywhere. Even the bottom of the pot, under the bed, and even the tiles in the wall were knocked out piece by piece, and nothing was found. The leather robe sewn with the building map of the manor disappeared!
The old housekeeper was anxious and turned around. This was related to his life. "What's going on? When I woke up in the morning, I saw it, and it was hanging on the head of the bed. Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Xiao Han looked at Chen Yu and found that there were three words written in both of them, "What's wrong!"
Since the other party could think of the old housekeeper's leather robe, the person sent by Viscount Xia to deliver the contract documents with him?
"Old butler, which road will Viscount Xia take?" Xiao Han asked calmly.
"I don't know, there are three days to get to the official road that gathers through the town. I don't know which one I will take," said Xiao Lao.
"Which one is the closest?"
"Go out of the town to the east, the one on the left is closest." The old butler hesitated for a moment and said it.
"Old butler, if you don't mind, please come with us first!" Xiao Han gave Chen Yu a wink, and the two of them immediately pulled the old butler out of the manor, quickly left the town, and summoned their mounts from the cave.
Xiao Han and the old housekeeper rode together, rushed out of the town with Chen Yu, and headed east.
In less than five minutes of galloping, three days of road appeared in front of me. All three days of roads led to Wuyue City. According to the instructions of the old housekeeper, they turned onto the road on the left and galloped away!
There are still many pedestrians and business trips on this road. From a distance, I saw two storm horses flying towards me and took the initiative to avoid them, which caused pedestrians to look at each other. The flying dust made many people scold them.
"Master, look, there are a group of people in front of you!"
"See it!" Xiao Han had a very ominous premonition in his heart.
The gathering crowd almost blocked the entire official road. Xiao Han and Chen Yu had no choice but to dismount and lead the horse over.
"Brother, what happened?"
"I'm dead, my throat was cut, my blood was bleeding, and I'm dying with my eyes closed..."
“It’s too cruel and another guy shook his head and walked away.
"Master, let's take a look?" Chen Yu asked in a low voice.
"Young Master, I am from our Viscount Mansion. I..." Before Xiao Han could speak, the old butler beside him pointed at the trousers legs of the dead in the gap in the crowd, and said with his hands trembling, his eyes full of fear.
When the people watching the fun heard this, they all calmed down. Everyone automatically made way for a while, and then their eyes were "sweeping" and focused on the three of them.
The old housekeeper saw clearly the face of the man lying in a pool of blood, and suddenly staggered, ran forward, exclaiming: "Son, why is it you..."
The person who came was actually the son of the old discipline manager, which was almost unexpected. The old housekeeper didn't want outsiders to share the ten thousand gold coins with him, so he called his son over. He didn't expect such a big disaster to happen on the road, but ended up killing his own flesh and blood!
This is the price that greed has to pay!
"Master, what a quick sword!" Chen Yu stepped forward and looked carefully, returned to Xiao Han, and said with his ears down.
"The sword of the murderer has touched the rules. The old butler's son is not without the power of a chicken, but he has a sword wiped his neck, which means he is not prepared at all. There is also the wildebeest, whose limbs have been cut off, but he can still run for more than ten meters. What does this mean? This wildebeest has been running at a rapid speed, while a man is riding in the wildebeest. During the running, does he hold his head up and his chest up, or lean forward slightly, and arch his waist?" Although Xiao Han did not look at the sword wounds and death of the deceased as Chen Yu, he has basically judged that the deceased was dead under a top killer. In the running wildebeest, he can first swing his sword to cut off the limbs of the wildebeest, and then cut the rider's throat with one sword. There are not many people who can do it, and even fewer people can put down their figure and assassinate such a small person!
Xiao Han can do it, but he may not be able to do it cleanly like this person!
Who would it be? Xiao Han frowned. Since he met Han Xiyue, he seemed to be led by someone. Every time he would have come one step late. If he hadn't brought the old housekeeper with him, the old housekeeper would have been silenced!
"Young master, Miss, please, please don't want that ten thousand gold coins. Are you going to avenge my son, okay?" The old butler cried with his son's body, begging Xiao Han and Chen Yu.
"Old butler, please see what is missing from your son first?" Xiao Han asked.
The old butler groped on his son and replied after a while: "What's missing?"
"I mean the title deeds and documents of Viscount Xia's manor are still on your son?"
The old butler touched his son's chest and looked up in fear and said, "Young Master, the land deeds and documents of the manor are gone."
"Sure enough!" Xiao Han shouted inwardly. The maker of the conspiracy calculated everything, and it was cut off again.
"Old butler, there is some money here. You can use it to bury your son. Don't go back to that town again." Xiao Han took out a gold coin bag, which contained about 500 gold coins. His son's death was because of his greed, but today he was not his son, but someone else would be. If he pursued it, no matter who died, he would not be able to escape.
"Chen Yu, let's go!" This is the pipeline, and it is not far from Wuyue City. He has no choice but to do anything about the old housekeeper. After all, they have no relatives and no reason, and the murderer is not him. Doing this is a complete deed.
"Master, I think that old housekeeper is very pitiful!" Chen Yu whispered.
Xiao Han turned his head, looked at Chen Yu, and sighed: "There must be something hateful to poor people. His greed ruined his son's life!"
"Master, where are we going?" Chen Yu followed and asked.
"Go back to the manor!" Xiao Han's cold voice came. What secret is hidden in the manor? It is worth these people's efforts to adjust themselves and Chen Yu, and killed the son of the old housekeeper who came to deliver the contract documents, and took away all the contracts and documents!
There is definitely no secret to contracts and documents. The key is that these people do not want the manor to fall into their own hands.
