The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Li Muchen immediately thought of his mother Gong Lingyan.

But the problem is that the Li family suffered a disaster twenty years ago, but the homeowner next door bought a house more than ten years ago. If the time doesn't match up, even if the mother is still alive, according to Ming Pu, she is still imprisoned in the land of Jiuyou, and there is no way she will show up in the capital to sell a house.

But how could things be so coincidental?

The owner of the house next door to the Li family is named Gong, and is she a woman?

A glimmer of hope ignited in Li Muchen's heart, and he immediately asked Hou Qigui to arrange a meeting with the landlord next door.

The landlord's surname was Zhou Shaoyi. He was from Jinzhou and was doing business in the capital. When he learned that Li Muchen wanted to see him, he rushed over in a hurry.

Zhou Shaoyi is not tall and has the shrewd look of a small businessman on his face.

"Master Li, Mrs. Li, I didn't expect to see you, and I didn't know what kind of virtue I had accumulated in my previous life to be able to be your neighbor!" Zhou Shaoyi complimented half-heartedly.

"Didn't you know who owned the house next door?" Lin Manqing asked curiously.

"When I bought it, I only heard that it belonged to that family." Zhou Shaoyi said a little embarrassedly, "To tell you the truth, I had just arrived in the capital not long ago, and I was rootless and wanted to get close to that family. Big tree, so I reluctantly bought this house. Unfortunately, the family moved out within a few days of living there, saying it was haunted..."

"Ah!" Zhou Shaoyi slapped himself, "I made a mistake! How could the Li family's house be haunted? It must be that the family has their own ghosts. Anyway, that family moved away, and I didn't get on the line with them. , the abacus failed, and I was quite depressed in those years. But now it seems that I bought the right house, not to mention the house price has doubled several times, the key is that I became a neighbor with Mr. Li. I can know Mr. Li like this As a character, even if Zhou is dead, his life will be worth it!"

Li Muchen looked at him, frowned slightly and said, "Tell me about your house. When did you buy it?"

"It must have been [-] or [-] years ago. Anyway, the house prices were not expensive at that time. I bought the entire courtyard for more than [-] million."

"Oh, he was able to come up with [-] million seventeen or eighteen years ago. Boss Zhou is not an ordinary person!" Hou Qigui said.

Li Muchen knew that Hou Qigui had investigated Zhou Shaoyi, and he must have some intention behind what he said now, so he did not interrupt.

"Hey, that's all from the old emperor's calendar." Zhou Shaoyi said, "To tell you the truth, I used to run a coal mine in my hometown in Jinzhou. It was easy to make money from mining in those days."

"The coal mine is operating well, why did you come to the capital?"

"I can't drive anymore. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. That's how the world is. Jinzhou belongs to the Wu family, and they have taken a fancy to my mine. What can I say? A good man doesn't suffer the consequences of his eyes. I could only take the money and leave. Fortunately, I had saved some money and felt that I was a person, so I wanted to come to the capital to make a living. Only after I came to the capital did I realize, good guy, my little money is nothing. When I get to the bottom of the imperial city, I can’t even afford to offend a beggar.”

Zhou Shaoyi naturally rounded off his words, "That's why I bought this house. I just wanted to be a neighbor with a real wealthy family, and also to find a backer."

Hou Qigui smiled and stopped talking.

"Tell me about the original owner of this house, who was he?" Li Muchen asked.

"I don't know much about this. I only know that she is a woman, whose surname is Gong. She is very beautiful. I still remember Zhenzhen'er's appearance. I have never seen anyone so beautiful in my entire life."

"What's her name?" Li Muchen's heart immediately lifted.

"My name is Gong Yinluo." Zhou Shaoyi said.

Li Muchen was a little disappointed, but he did not give up, because if his mother was alive, it would be normal to change her name.

"How did you contact her, and can you still contact her now?"

Zhou Shaoyi shook his head: "After so many years, the contact information has long been gone. But I was contacted through an agency. You can ask, maybe the agency company still has customer information."

Hou Qigui nodded towards Li Muchen, meaning that he would investigate.

The next step is to talk about the sale and transfer of the house. Zhou Shaoyi didn't ask for a high price, and the price he offered was quite fair. Li Muchen naturally had no objection. The house might be related to his mother, and he would buy it no matter how expensive it was.

When the talks were almost complete, Hou Qigui prepared a contract for both parties to sign.

Zhou Shaoyi and Li Muchen sat at a table. This made him look a little excited. He straightened his clothes and solemnly took out a pen that looked valuable.

He signed the contract and then handed the pen to Li Muchen respectfully.

Li Muchen already had the signature pen prepared by Hou Qigui in his hand. He waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, and lowered his head to sign.

Hou Qigui, who was standing behind them, always felt that something was wrong. Suddenly he saw Zhou Shaoyi's signature on the contract paper, which was a bit delicate. How could a coal boss with a background of coal mining in Jinzhou write such delicate handwriting?

He was startled when he saw the pen in Zhou Shaoyi's hand and shouted: "Master, be careful!"

But it was still a step too late.

Zhou Shaoyi's wrist was turned and moved, and the tip of the pen stabbed Li Muchen's throat.

They sat next to each other, and the distance was very close. With Zhou Shaoyi's action of handing the pen, the pen was less than twenty centimeters from Li Muchen's neck.

With such a short distance, there is almost no possibility of evasion.

A smile appeared on Zhou Shaoyi's lips.

But the smile quickly solidified on his face.

The tip of the pen stopped an inch away from Li Muchen's throat and could no longer move forward, as if it had touched an invisible steel plate.

Li Muchen looked at him coldly.

Behind him, Hou Qigui was rushing towards him.

Zhou Shaoyi's eyes flashed with surprise and he said: "I underestimate you!"

Suddenly he lifted the pen tip, and a cloud of blue fountain pen ink shot out from the pen tip, spread out in the air, exploded into a black rain, and splashed towards the west.

The black ink dots shone with a strange brilliance in the light, and they were poisonous at a glance.

Li Muchen grabbed hold of Hou Qigui who was rushing towards him, and waved his other hand to catch all the Mo Yu.

And at this moment, Zhou Shaoyi's body shrank suddenly and disappeared out of thin air.

The pen he had just held in his hand lost its grip and fell from the air, but was caught by Li Muchen.

"Blinking technique!" Lin Manqing said in surprise, "Is he a Japanese ninja?"

Li Muchen held the pen, shook his head and said: "This is not Ninjutsu, this is Mozi's Five Elements Technique. He is from the Mo family!"
