C34 Buying a House

Sheng Yuduo asked the waiter to bring the dishes. All of them were the meat of various Demonic Beasts. The meat was tender and smooth, and there was a trace of power in the meat. It was indeed quite good.

Sheng Yuduo called the waiter over and said, "I am from another place and am not familiar with this place! Do you have any good guides? Introduce one to me and I will give you a reward!"

The waiter hurriedly nodded and said, "Young Master, you have found the right person. I am very familiar with this place! I have a cousin who specializes in being a guide. If you need him, I can find him for you."

Sheng Yuduo nodded and said, "Then hurry up and find him!"

The waiter ran to the door with a smile on his face and said a few words to the little beggar. After that, he gave the little beggar two buns. The little beggar ran away happily.

Sheng Yuduo was starving the entire night. Just as he was eating, he saw the waiter leading a young man over.

The waiter nodded and said with a smile, "Young Master, you have waited for a long time. This is my cousin, Yuh Jingbo. He is the best guide in this generation. Hurry up and say hello to Young Master."

Yuh Jingbo immediately took a step forward and said respectfully, "Young Master, hello. Do you need me to do anything?"

Sheng Yuduo told the waiter to leave. He pointed to the stool in front of him and said, "You don't have to be so reserved. Sit down and eat with me!"

Yuh Jingbo sat down and did not touch his chopsticks. Instead, he said seriously, "Young Master, let me explain to you first. If you hire me, you will need to pay me two taels of gold bill every day!"

Sheng Yuduo wiped his mouth and said, "Money is not a problem. As long as you do your job well, I will definitely pay you well. Let's eat together first!"

This time, Yuh Jingbo was not polite and ate with Sheng Yuduo. Sheng Yuduo secretly observed that Yuh Jingbo was not bad and could not help but nod.

After the two of them had their fill, Sheng Yuduo said to Yuh Jingbo, "I plan to stay in Feng City for a period of time, but I don't want to stay in an inn all the time. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Yuh Jingbo thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, this depends on how long you plan to stay here. If you want to stay here for a long time, I suggest you buy a courtyard. If you only want to stay here for a short period of time, then you can just rent a house."

Sheng Yuduo thought for a moment and said, "I don't like renting a house. Let's go and buy one! I like quiet places, so it's best if I can have a courtyard!"

Yuh Jingbo led Sheng Yuduo to a trading company. It was obvious that he was very familiar with this place. He kept talking to people on the way. The two of them arrived in front of the counter.

Yuh Jingbo smiled and greeted a rather capable person, "Brother Chen, I have brought a big customer this time! This young master wants to buy a house in Feng City. You have to give him a discount!"

Jing Tuo was a small manager of this trading company. When he heard Yuh Jingbo say this, his eyes immediately lit up. He immediately put on a smile and said, "Young Master, you found the right person. What kind of house do you want?"

Sheng Yuduo repeated his conditions. After hesitating for a moment, Jing Tuo said, "Young Master, the price of this house you mentioned is not low!"

Sheng Yuduo sneered and said, "As long as there is a suitable house, you can tell me. The money will definitely not be too little for you."

Jing Tuo quickly nodded and said, "Young Master, I can tell that you are a rich person from a single glance. I happen to have a courtyard here. Why don't you come with me to take a look?"

Sheng Yuduo nodded and the three of them walked out of the trading company. Sheng Yuduo smiled and asked, "It seems that the security in Feng City is not bad?"

Yuh Jingbo smiled and replied, "Young Master, you came here by chance. If you had come here a few years ago, this place would have been very chaotic! You know that we are close to the Demonic Beast Forest, and bandits who often kill people come and go!

"When they have different opinions, they will fight each other! There are often life and death battles on the streets. Moreover, these wealthy guests do not abide by the rules. Murder and robbery are common occurrences. This caused many merchants to not dare to come here. The residents of Feng City are also very troubled!"

Jing Tuo continued, "Only until ten years ago, when our new City Lord, Xie Yun, came to Feng City, did the situation change. City Lord Xie is a hero. His skills are superb. He went alone to deal with these troublesome matters.

"He defeated the Fong Family and Tan family that dominated Feng City, and at the same time, established the Bloodshed Guard. He rectified the security of Feng City and punished all the wealthy guests who dared to publicly commit crimes.

The atmosphere in Feng City changed. City Lord Xie worked hard to protect the interests of the merchants. As a result, Feng City became completely prosperous."

From their tone, Sheng Yuduo could hear their admiration for City Lord Xie. He shook his head indifferently. After all, everyone had their own heroes in their hearts.

The three of them soon arrived at the courtyard. It was located in the northwest corner of the city, and it was very quiet and secluded.

Obviously, this courtyard belonged to a rich person. It was renovated beautifully. There was a small bamboo forest behind the courtyard, and the bamboo leaves rustled as the wind blew.

Sheng Yuduo was very satisfied with this courtyard. He nodded and said, "This courtyard is very good. Who lived here in the past? Why did he want to sell it?"

Just as Sheng Yuduo was speaking, the door of the side room was gently opened. A beautiful woman walked out with light steps.

Jing Tuo said to her, "Jingjing, Young Miss, I am leading this young master to this house. Your father has not paid us the money he owed us. Now, you can only use this house to pay us back!"

She said with a bitter expression, "I know this is a hopeless situation, but my brother is sick now. Can you make an exception?"

Jing Tuo said in a difficult tone, "I know you have a hard time, but I have no other choice. I lent you that sum of money back then.

"If you don't pay me back, I won't have a good life either! I can't abandon my wife and children just for you!"

Sheng Yuduo said from the side, "This courtyard is indeed not bad, but I hope you can settle this matter properly! Otherwise, I won't be able to buy it peacefully!"

Jing Tuo quickly explained the situation. This woman was called Lian Jingjing. Her father was addicted to gambling and had borrowed a lot of money from the trading company. Now that he was not paying the money back, he had gone missing. The trading company decided to use this courtyard to repay his debt, so she naturally had nowhere to go.
