The southernmost block of Jiapingguan City is the most remote place in the entire city, and it is also the place that gives Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian the most headaches.
Before Jiapingguan City became a city, in other words, before it became the headquarters of the Shen Army, the southernmost block was the most chaotic place in the entire border. The people hated it just as they hated the Liao and Jin Dynasties.
This place gathers the most evil people at the border, including thieves, swindlers, fugitives, and spies from Liao and Jin. They burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of evil. When the people see them, if Sayazi runs away quickly, he will be caught by them. A narrow escape from death. Later, the Shen Jiajun stationed at the border and made great efforts to rectify the situation. Those people either died or fled, and never showed up in Jiaping Pass again.
Although these people have disappeared, the place is still there. The people at the border still avoid it. The fear and uneasiness are engraved in their bones. Whenever they pass by this place, they clearly know that those people are there. The people are gone, they will not come back again, this place is empty, and they will still speed up their pace to escape from here. Therefore, the people in the city are not willing to settle down here at all.
But it was not a problem that this place was empty. Later, several businessmen from other places joined forces to buy this land, and it finally had a new owner. These businessmen built houses here and were looking for tenants. Because of the rumors in the past, locals from Jiapingguancheng would never come here to rent. Therefore, most of the tenants are outsiders who don't know much about the original situation here and travelers who don't have enough money. Even so, as time goes by, business gradually improves, and it becomes more and more popular and exciting.
"So, what happened to that strange person you mentioned?" Xue Ruitian yawned, "Does a strange person want to live in a place like this?"
"There are times when strange people don't have enough money to pay bills." Jin Jing rolled her eyes, "This strange person is called Feng Miao. I saw his name. He is seventeen years old and comes from Tianshan."
"Tianshan?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Is there really a Tianshan? I always thought the storyteller made it up. So, he is a Jianghu person?"
"Those who come from Tianshan are not necessarily Jianghu people, Xiaocha!" Jin Jing shook her head gently, "His family is in Tianshan, and he runs a horse farm. He has some skills, but he can only defend himself."
"Then why did he come to Border Gate? To buy horses?"
"If you want to say smarter, Xiaotian is smarter, I hit the nail on the head." Jin Jing winked at Xue Ruitian with a smile, "But it's not about buying a horse. It's said that it's about inspecting suitable pastures or something, and it's also related to horses. But I think his family thought the child was too noisy, so they took the opportunity to throw him out. This child is young and has such a mouth. If someone can talk, he just listens to his babbling."
"Inspecting the ranch..." Shen Cha nodded, "Why do you live here? Shouldn't you stay in an inn?"
"I lost my money bag halfway through. I only relied on my mouth to earn some money to get here, so I didn't starve to death." Jin Jing looked helpless, "Such a big-hearted child, Is it really reasonable to allow him to come out at home, so you are not afraid that he will not be able to go home?" Seeing Shen Haolin raise his eyebrows at him, he coughed lightly, "That's right, we will go to persuade here as usual today. The tenants move and let them live in the yard we rented for a period of time, and we are responsible for all the expenses. Those who live for a few days or half a month will move out happily. But in the long term Those who live here are just grinding and refusing to move. Feng Miao was the first to agree to move, but he did not leave right away. He also helped us persuade those who refused to leave, talking about money. It’s an external thing, your own life is the most important. If a storm comes and the house collapses, everyone will die if you don’t run out. He also said that this house is not your own, why are you so distressed?”
"What he said makes sense. This is exactly what we were worried about, so this happened." After taking a look at the tea that had just been cooked, Shen Cha stood up, filled a bowl for Jin Jing, and sent it over. , and also gave him a plate of snacks, "It's just that Brother Xiaojing said he was a strange person before, but now I haven't heard what makes him strange. I only know that he is very talkative."
"Don't be so anxious, we'll talk about it soon." Jin Jing blew the hot air and took a few sips. "Hasn't he been persuading those who refuse to move? Those people told him that they can move, but they need to When we met the landlord, they could only move if the landlord asked them to move. After all, they paid the rent to the landlord. If the other party refused to accept the rent, they would be homeless. We thought this statement was understandable, so we asked them to take us to the landlord. As a result, no one was willing except Feng Miao."
"Are you afraid of the landlord?" Xue Ruitian raised an eyebrow, "Are there still such bullies in our city?"
"I'm really not a bully." Jin Jing waved her hand, "When Feng Miao rented this house, he signed the contract at the landlord's house. He knew where the landlord was, so he took us there. After we went there, we had a chat , only to find out that this so-called landlord is not the real landlord. He rented the house from the original owner and then rented it out."
"Making the difference." Xue Ruitian nodded, "This kind of situation is more common in Jiangnan, and there are quite a few in Xijing. I didn't expect it to happen in our city as well."
"So, where is the real landlord?" Shen Haolin raised an eyebrow, "Have you found it?"
"Of course I didn't find it." Jin Jing sneered, "The owner who bought this place is not from Daxia, but a Hu businessman. And this so-called landlord is indeed from Daxia and also from Jiapingguan City."
"You have found an agent!" Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha exchanged glances, "Have you brought this agent back?"
"Of course, and there's more than one. There are seven agents in that block on the south side."
"Are they all a Hu businessman?"
"No!" Jin Jing shook her head, "Two Hu businessmen and a big cannibal." He sneered, "Isn't Feng Miao a strange person? If he hadn't taken us to find the so-called landlord, we would have I am still kept in the dark. This is called pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud. Who thought there would be such a big harvest this year? Also, I have arranged for people to thoroughly check the ownership and land deeds of all the land in the city. If we continue In situations like this, early detection will avoid some disasters.”
"Very good." Shen Haolin nodded, "However, except for this place, this kind of situation should not happen again, but let's check it out!"
"Wait a minute, there is still a problem here." Shen Cha looked at Jin Jing in confusion, "How could Shang Hu buy this land? The land deed is invalid without the seals of the Duke's Mansion, the Marquis Mansion, and the Shen Family Army. Could it be that... they also forged the seal? Where is the land deed? "
"Bring it back, it's here with me." Jin Jing took out a few land deeds from her arms, "I've seen it, it does have our seal, but the name of the owner is completely different from the Hu Shang they reported. Yes. I am also quite confused about this, so I brought those seven guys back and gave them to Xiaosi for interrogation. After we finish dinner, we will probably have the result."
