Chapter 431 Buying a Manor (Edited)
At first, the man in tattered clothes kept holding his head and enduring it.
Maybe the secret guard hit him too hard and the man couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned over and started fighting with the secret guard.
This unexpected change happened so suddenly that the secret guard was secretly surprised, thinking that he almost got tricked.
I didn't expect that! This little jerk is actually a martial artist. Why did he pretend to be beaten just now? What is he trying to hide?
Suspicious! Very suspicious!
All of a sudden, the secret guard who originally just wanted to teach the ruffian a lesson, now wanted to capture this man alive and bring him back for interrogation.
This guy is so rude and unreasonable, and he's actually good at martial arts. If we leave him here, he might even harm the Gu family!
Thinking of this, the secret guard no longer hesitated and used all his strength.
Although this man was powerful, he was no match for the secret guards who had been trained since childhood, and he was defeated within a hundred moves.
The secret guard took out a rope from somewhere and tied up the ragged man tightly.
He threw the man into the corner, kicked the door open, and searched the room carefully. He actually found something.
The man was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar.
Unexpectedly, there was a secret compartment under the bed, which not only contained a large number of banknotes and cash, but also some notebooks with a lot of densely packed small words written on them, but he could not understand any of them.
It seems like Chinese characters, but also seems like they are written with missing strokes.
The secret guard collected the things and searched the house thoroughly.
After getting no more results, he walked back to the man, grabbed him by the collar, and took advantage of the night to fly towards the palace with him.
Because he was with thieves, he couldn't enter or leave the palace directly.
He just sent a message to his companions near the palace using the unique signal of their secret guard room.
Soon, other secret guards came to pick him up.
When the secret guard saw the contact person coming out, the two of them exchanged signals, and the secret guard quickly told the contact person what had happened today.
He also handed over the letters, banknotes and cash found in the ragged man's room to the secret guard who was at the contact.
After receiving the message, the secret guard entered the palace and went to report to the emperor's grandson.
When Song Renjing heard the secret guard's report, he thought of the rebel army hiding in the dark. Adhering to the principle of "better to kill the wrong person than to let him go", he ordered: "Take this man away and interrogate him thoroughly to see if he has any accomplices.
In addition, ask our people to enter the courtyard and pretend to be this person, find out his daily activities and who he contacts... Send a team of secret guards to follow up on this matter.
In addition, quietly check if there are any suspicious people in the capital, especially those who have appeared in the capital in the past five years. If there are any, quietly monitor them. "
"Yes, master!" The secret guard took the order and went to make arrangements.
The secret guard who followed the Gu family, after handing over to his companions, went back to secretly protect the Gu family.
Naturally, the Gu family was unaware of all this happening in secret.
After having dinner with the tribesmen, the Gu family left behind a few caravan robots and then drove the carriage back to the post station to rest.
Early the next morning, Gu Dajiang sent the intelligent housekeeper and asked the middleman to continue looking after the manor.
Through the Gu family's purchase of a shop, the middleman knew that the Gu family was rich and willing to spend money.
During the two days, I carefully collected a thick volume of information about Zhuangzi and memorized it clearly in my mind.
Following the smart butler to the post station, as soon as he saw Gu Dajiang and others, he bowed happily and saluted, then took out the booklet he had prepared.
"Sir, look, these are the manors I selected for you that are more in line with your requirements. Which one do you want to see first?"
"What are their characteristics? Can you give us a brief introduction?" Gu Dajiang asked politely.
"Of course, sir, please take a look. This manor is fifty miles outside the city. It is close to Danxia Mountain and has beautiful scenery. Many of the noble manors in Beijing are nearby. You may even be able to find hot springs there.
Look at this again. This location is wide and not backed by mountains, and the area is relatively large. If you want to grow crops, you must take this advice!
Look at this again..."
The middleman quickly and professionally explained the characteristics of each village to Gu Dajiang and others.
The Gu brothers listened carefully and after he finished speaking, they named more than a dozen farms in a row.
When the middle-aged man saw this, he laughed so happily that his teeth showed and his eyes did not.
I couldn't help but secretly praise myself for my wisdom.
When this family was looking for a shop, it was he who took them to look around, and they bought all the shops that were slightly larger.
So when he was choosing a farm, he picked some that were larger in size.
Sure enough, the largest farms were all chosen by these nobles.
If everything goes well, maybe the nobleman will take over all these farms, and then he will become rich this year.
Even next year's commission is included.
It makes me happy just thinking about it!
The Gu family did not disappoint these people's expectations and bought all the farms they liked.
Finally, the Gu family chose the spacious farm as the place to build the shopping mall.
After selecting Zhuangzi, Gu Dajiang and Miao were also ready to set off to take up their posts.
Before taking office, he called Mr. Gu and others and told them what happened after meeting the emperor.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the valley had already forgotten about the people outside.
After they returned from the capital, Gu Kang and Old Man Gu began to learn how to fly a plane.
Except for the first few days when he just watched from the sidelines, Gu Fu spent the rest of the time doing different things, such as taking the kitchen nanny to prepare some food, or riding on the big orange horse and taking the animals to wander around in the forest for a day.
Although Mr. Gu is old, he has been using spiritual dew to regulate his body over the years, and his condition is not much worse than that of a middle-aged man.
In addition, he has been studying and researching new things for many years, so he learns and absorbs things quickly. In the past few days, he has mastered the functions of various rods.
Until Gu Dajiang called and said that he had been conferred the title of king and would go to Longcheng to take up the post, and that Old Man Gu had been conferred the title of Duke Protector of the Country and that his entire family had received rewards.
The three generations of the Gu family were very happy when they heard this. Their ancestors had been farmers for generations, but they were unexpectedly conferred titles by the emperor in this generation.
Whether they adapt or not, they have already changed their jobs.
"Grandpa, that's great! You will be the Duke of Protector of the Country in the future! Then I will be the Duke of Protector of the Country's grandson." Gu Kang said excitedly.
"Yes, yes, yes. But we can't act so ostentatious after we leave the valley, so as not to arouse jealousy." Grandpa Gu took the opportunity to remind his grandson.
"My grandson knows! I am so happy because he is in front of my family.
This is the emperor's reward to grandpa, others can only be jealous, the outcome is set, there is no way to change it. "Gu Kang said proudly.
"Okay, okay, you are right!" Grandpa Gu said to his grandson lovingly.
