I Am The Landlord In Another World Novel - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Mei mansion number eight (1)

Even though no one had lived in it for many years and no one had taken care of it, the wall had not collapsed, which meant that it had been built with great effort. This was the provincial capital’s East Street, one of the most prosperous areas. That was because there were many shops across the street and around the Mei mansion. The Mei mansion was located here alone. Other than an old gate, there was a wall in front of it. Therefore, he didn’t fit in with his surroundings. “Old master, we’ve earned big.” Qiao Xiao laughed. “How do you know?” Tang Wen asked. “You see, this house is so big, and it’s located in the bustling area of the provincial capital. From now on, we’ll be able to build dozens of shops by stacking up these walls. At that time, we’ll be able to earn quite a bit just from collecting rent. ” Qiao Xiao laughed. “Maybe this wall is the only thing left, and there’s only trash inside. We’ve spent a few hundred thousand taels, but we’ve only gotten an empty shell. ” Tang Wen said. “Master, let’s go in and take a look first.” Luo Yiwu said. Then, the group of them walked towards the gate. The main gate was sealed by Jiang state capital. However, Jiang state capital had already sold the Mei residence to Tang Wen, so Qiao Xiao and Tian Hao personally went up to remove the seal. Creak. A cloud of dust blew in his face, and the two old wooden doors were slowly pushed open. What came into view was a road paved with blue stones, three meters wide. However, the grass was forcibly squeezed out from the cracks of the bluestone, and there was grass growing on both sides. It was simply a piece of wild grass. The rotten leaves were a foot high, and a putrid smell came from them, making people feel nauseated. At this moment, a passerby passed by and saw that the door was open. These people only took a glance, and in the next moment, they all ran away in a hurry with panicked expressions. “Pfft, pfft, you’re right, old master. It’s a garbage dump inside. How can people live there?” Luo Yiwu choked a few times and said with a look of disgust. “Let’s walk around first and see if there are any intact houses. ” Tang Wen said, and a few guards with machetes cut the grass in front of them, and the group walked in. The ground was full of bird shit, rats scurrying around, and spider webs flying everywhere. It was almost a paradise for birds. However, the fake mountains and ponds were still there, as well as a small bridge and flowing water. If they managed it, the scenery would be pretty good. After walking for about 40 meters, they finally saw a dilapidated house. Although the house was run – down, it was very large. It seemed to have several entrances and exits, with dozens of rooms. However, most of them had collapsed, and only a few were intact. The main hall was still in a rather decent state, and Luo Yiwu arranged for people to clean it up for two hours. Then, they brought a large sofa chair from the carriage and invited Tang Wen to sit down. “Master, there’s a small independent courtyard at the back that’s been well preserved. It should be able to be occupied after some cleaning.” At this moment, Li Quan came in and said excitedly. “Let’s go and take a look. ” Tang Wen stood up and the group went to the backyard. He found that this single door and courtyard house was indeed well preserved, with not much dust. There was also a dressing table, an exquisitely carved bed, a large wardrobe, and more. “This should be the place where the previous master’s family lived.” Luo Yiwu said. “The small kitchen at the back is also well preserved. This is it. Let’s clean it up first and stay here for the night.” Tang Wen said. As a result, after another round of trouble, the ‘electrician’ brought by Tang Wen was busy installing the electric wires, lights, and lamps. Another group of people installed a mobile bathroom … They also used a water pump to pump the water from the pond in the yard into a storage tank that was several tons in size, then connected it to a mobile water purifier, which connected the bathroom and kitchen. They were busy until night time and finally cleaned up the place. They could move in now. Tang Wen took a shower and came out. The cook had already prepared some food and wine, and Gu hanyan served him dinner. Tang Wen was also tired and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, Li Quan’s scream woke everyone up. Tang Wen quickly went downstairs and found Li Quan lying on the ground, trembling. He was pointing at the window in horror and couldn’t speak. “What’s going on?” “Ghost…There ‘s…There’s a ghost …” Li Quan pointed out the window and shouted. Luo Yiwu and the others quickly called some people out to search, and soon they returned, shaking their heads.”You didn’t find anything?” “There’s really a ghost. Old master, I saw a shadow flash by and almost scared me to death. That ghost’s entire body is covered in green tiles, and its tongue is very long. It must be a hanged ghost. ” Li Quan said hurriedly as he came back to his senses. “Are you seeing things? For example, what do you think of the wind blowing, the grass moving, and the cats and dogs running around?” Qiao Xiao asked. “No, I really saw it.” Li Quan said with absolute certainty. “That’s strange. Tian Hao and I have been guarding the place. Why didn’t we see anything?” Qiao Xiao asked, confused. “I didn’t see anything,” Luo Yiwu said. “It could be a wild beast, such as a cat, rabbit, or weasel.” Gu hanyan said. “Could it be a Fox? Vixens are mesmerizing. ” Tian Hao said. “Alright, alright. It’s fine now. Let’s all rest.” Tang Wen waved his hand and went back to his room to sleep. However, after just an hour of sleep, she suddenly felt a shiver run through her body. There seemed to be wind blowing past his face, but the window was closed. Where did the wind come from? He immediately sat up and picked up the gun beside him. He turned on the light but didn’t find anything. Moreover, even the windows were closed. Could there really be a ghost? He was probably scared of himself because of Li Quan’s influence. He thought about it. Besides, Gu hanyan was still sleeping next door, and Tian Hao and Qiao Xiao were downstairs. Luo Yiwu was also in another room on the second floor, and there were a few personal guards patrolling outside, so he went to sleep with a peace of mind. However, after just an hour of sleep, Tang Wen jumped up again. He had clearly felt someone touching his face just now. That feeling was very clear. Thus, he called Gu hanyan and Luo Yiwu over and asked,”did you guys find anything?” “No, I didn ‘t,” Luo Yiwu shook his head and said. “Old master, are you scared by Li Quan?” Gu hanyan teased. “What a joke. Even if there are ghosts, I’m not afraid. I’m only worried about danger. What’s there to be afraid of?” Tang Wen said. In fact, this fellow was still a little scared. “Then hurry up and sleep. Don’t think too much. We’re here, what are you afraid of? If the old master is too timid to sleep, I’ll come over and watch you sleep. Or, you can always keep the lights on. ” Gu hanyan smiled. “Why are you turning on the lights? I’m a man, why do I need you to accompany me? Fine, I’ll sleep. ” Tang Wen couldn’t take Gu hanyan’s words anymore, so he turned around and went back to sleep. On the other hand, he slept all the way until daybreak and did not discover anything else. It seemed that he had been frightened for nothing. In the morning, after washing up, Gu hanyan came in with a bowl of soup.”Old master, this is calming soup. Drink it while it’s hot.” “It’s a calming soup. I’m fine. Why should I be?” Tang Wen looked at Gu hanyan in shock. “You were so nervous and mysterious yesterday. You should drink it.” Gu hanyan pursed her lips and smiled. “Take it, take it, let Li Quan drink it. What am I afraid of? hurry, hurry. ” Tang Wen said. “It’s fine if you don’t want to drink, but don’t mess around at night. When that time comes, you’ll call us over again and again, so you’ll have to let us sleep, right?” Gu Hanyan. “I know. I won’t call you tonight.” Tang Wen rolled his eyes. “You said it!” Gu hanyan snorted. At nineo’ clock in the morning, the group went straight to the Count’s mansion of third class Earl Shogai. This guy’s house was quite magnificent, not inferior to the Mei mansion. Although the location was not as good as the Mei mansion, the area it occupied was not small at all. Moreover, the bronze lion was squatting in front of the door, and the bronze door was showing off. One look and one could tell that it was a wealthy family. Yesterday, Luo Yiwu had arranged for someone to pass him a letter of visit, so when Tang Wen came over, the guard did not make things difficult for him and directly let him in. There was a small bridge with flowing water, red flowers and green leaves, and a small man – made Lake inside. The scenery was charming.
