"Child Harold..."
This name was once quite famous in Horumus, and ordinary thieves' gangs really couldn't afford to offend Harold. And those strangers not only showed that they were not easy to mess with yesterday, but they were also brought by Childe Harold. Some thieves gangs were unwilling to give in, but they also restrained their evil intentions in their hearts.
Zhu Biao saw the greedy eyes of these people and couldn't help but sigh that although the city in this place was not bad, there were many people living there and the trade was prosperous. But chaos is also real. Killing people on the street or even robbing people on the street is not uncommon.
Hader first walked to the door of the city lord's mansion and carefully explained his purpose.
I heard that he was coming to buy the manor, and the gatekeeper was the soldier captain of the city lord's mansion. This captain is also tall and burly, and he can move freely while wearing a bright silver plate armor. It can be easily seen that his force is not weak.
Moreover, the captain was also familiar with Harder. When he saw Harder coming, he took the initiative to step forward and give him a gentle hug.
Hard briefly explained his purpose, and a smile suddenly appeared on the captain's face, and his attitude towards Hard was excellent. After all, the price of the manor is extremely high, and everyone who comes to buy the manor is equivalent to giving them money in disguise. Anyone who gives money to themselves will always be very tolerant.
But when the captain saw Han Du and others behind Hard, he suddenly frowned. He chatted with Hade in a jittery tone, pointing towards Han Du as he spoke.
Hader discussed with him for a moment, then turned around and came to Zhu Biao and Han Du, looking a little embarrassed.
Zhu Biao and Han Du glanced at each other, then turned to Hard and asked, "What's wrong?"
Harder was a little embarrassed to say it, but he hesitated and said: "Your Highness, he said that there are too many of us, and we cannot all go in, but only part of them can go in."
Han Du glanced at the captain blocking the city gate, and asked Hard with a smile: "Didn't this city lord's mansion not allow many people to enter before?"
"I haven't said this before, but people who go in usually bring a few followers with them. It's true that there are so many people like us now." Harder quickly replied.
Han Du nodded, as long as he didn't mean to make things difficult. Since that person is responsible for the safety of the City Lord's Mansion, it is reasonable for him to be worried about a large number of people wanting to enter the City Lord's Mansion. On the contrary, if there is no such vigilance, how can the city lord's palace gain a foothold in Horumos?
If the City Lord's Mansion can be entered and exited at will, then it is extremely easy for someone with malicious intentions to pretend to be a person who comes to buy the manor, and someone takes the opportunity to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion. What should I do?
Han Du stared at Hard and asked, "How many people can we come in?"
"Ten." Hadby pointed out two fingers and explained quickly: "He said that if I only buy one manor, then at most ten people can accompany me in. And he also said that in the past, he only brought three people with him. Five followers are enough, and it is his greatest right to allow ten people to enter."
"That's right..." Han Du nodded, not commenting on Hader's words.
Han Du's non-commitment made Hade feel flustered, and he didn't dare to ask, so he had to lower his head and wait in fear.
"Well, let's buy a manor. You can ask if we can get twenty people in."
If ten people were to enter, it would be difficult to guarantee Zhu Biao's safety with his own firepower. The city lord's palace was on guard against anyone entering the castle, so Han Du naturally had to guard against them as well.
Unless Zhu Biao was waiting outside without going in, but this was impossible. Looking at Zhu Biao's eager expression, Han Du knew that he definitely wanted to go in and take a closer look at what was going on with the sale of the manor.
Hader was stunned when he heard this. Could this still be possible? He thought there might be something wrong with this, but he couldn't find a reason to refute Han Du.
If you buy one manor and bring in ten people, of course if you buy two, you will have to bring in twenty people. There is nothing wrong with that.
"This..." Han Du's request suddenly made Hade not know how to answer, so he had no choice but to nod and reply: "I'll ask him now."
After saying that, Harder turned around and ran straight towards the captain of the City Lord's Mansion.
Harder soon turned back, this time with a slow smile on his face. "Master Marquis, he said that if Master Hou also buys a manor, he can be allowed to bring ten more people in."
Han Du turned to Zhu Biao and smiled: "Your Highness, are you waiting for me here, or are you?"
Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du and said with a satisfied smile: "You have prepared everything, so I will naturally go in and take a look."
"Your Highness, please!" Han Du bowed slightly and gestured with a smile.
Twenty personal soldiers followed him in, which was enough to protect Zhu Biao. Even if you are surrounded by heavy troops, don't forget that there are still pro-army troops outside. As long as things are not harmonious, as long as there is a commotion inside, the pro-army outside will immediately attack the city lord's mansion and rush in to save people.
With the internal and external coordination, it is impossible not to save Zhu Biao.
The other pro-soldiers stayed outside the castle, and Hader walked at the front, leading Zhu Biao, Han Du, and nineteen other pro-soldiers into the city lord's palace.
Walking into a stone-built room, Han Du glanced around the room and felt that he had arrived at the right place. Not only did he curiously ask: "How is this manor bought and sold?"
Hearing this, Harder explained patiently: "The sale of the manor can be done through the city lord's palace or privately. In order to raise money for overseas trade, I got the money by mortgaging the manor to others. Later, I didn't have any money when it expired. After paying back the money, the manor was taken away by the other party and quickly sold to someone else.”
"Since you can buy and sell at will, why don't you buy directly from other people instead of coming to the city lord's mansion?" Han Du was a little curious.
Hader smiled and explained: "Master Marquis, if this manor hadn't encountered a big change, for example, if it was mortgaged to others like Hader, almost no one would sell it. Those who can afford to buy the manor are the most respectable people in the city. People, this is their face, how could they sell it so easily?"
"And I want to buy the manor very urgently. If I buy it with other people, I'm afraid I can only look for it slowly. But what I lack most now is time, so I might as well come directly to the City Lord's Mansion to buy it, even if the price is a little higher. The City Lord's Mansion owns a lot of manors, and I can choose carefully. If I buy it with other people, I may not be able to buy what I like. "
Han Du nodded and thought so. After all, time is also money. Instead of wasting time looking for it slowly, it is better to spend more money and buy it.
"Let's go, you go first and let me see how you bought this manor." "Okay, please come with me, Your Highness." Hader bowed slightly and led everyone to a table. , said a few words to the two people behind the table.
After hearing what Harder said, the man got up and went to get something with a smile on his face.
Seeing Zhu Biao and Han Du looking at him curiously, Hader explained in a low voice: "The City Lord's Mansion has many manors for sale, and he gave us a map to choose from."
Han Du narrowed his eyes and nodded.
The person who left just now came back soon with a stack of sheepskins, spread them out on the wooden table. Sure enough, I saw densely packed squares painted on it, which were buildings one after another.
Hader looked at it carefully and said to Han Du: "My manor used to be a little smaller and the location was a little remote. Originally, I planned to change it after making money this time, but now..."
Harder shook his head and sighed, "That's just right."
Although whether I originally thought of changing it after making money or buying it now that I have no place to stay, the result is the same. But in these two situations, Harder's mood was different. It can be said to be a mixed bag of flavors and extremely complex.
"That's it, 30,000 gold coins. The location is good, the area is larger than what I used to have, and there is a lot of land around it. Some people can be hired to plant these lands in the future, which can be regarded as a long-term stable income. "Had pointed to a manor in the north, clicked it carefully, and made a decision.
When the people in the City Lord's Mansion saw Harder's choice, the smiles on their faces became even brighter. Among all the manors, this manor is considered to be middle-class and upper-class, and the price is of course higher. A manor like this may not be sold even if it takes three or two years. Most people who come to buy the manor say they are keen on buying smaller and cheaper ones.
Anyway, regardless of the size of the manor, as long as you buy it, it will be protected by the city lord's palace. There is no preference for one or another. Why should you spend more money to buy a bigger one?
Now that he's chosen, Harder needs to pay. Of course Harder didn't have any gold coins with him. When he redeemed his wife and children from Mei yesterday, he still borrowed gold ingots from Han Du and they haven't returned them yet.
But this time Harder did not borrow money from Han Du. Instead, he took out a bag from his arms and poured out a dozen large blue gems.
"Is this enough to pay 30,000 gold coins?"
The people in the city lord's palace were also shocked when they saw Hader paying with gems. According to common sense, after selling the gems, it is more reasonable to pay with gold coins. Because the price of gems is not fixed, it will fluctuate up and down. If you pay with gems, the receiving party will definitely lower the price, which is extremely uneconomical for Hader.
This is also the reason why Hade wanted to borrow money from Han Du even though he had gems on his body. He was just afraid that after taking out the gems, Mei would overprice them and suffer a big loss.
Now facing the City Lord's Mansion, there is no such problem. Even if the price is a little lower than the market price, Harder can still accept it.
The people in the City Lord's Mansion reacted quickly, bowed respectfully towards Hader, and said in a respectful tone: "This distinguished master, please wait a moment. I will give you a reply after asking the City Lord."
Hader raised his right hand, indicating that he was casual.
The man carefully put away the gem with a smile on his face, turned around and ran towards the castle.
