Chapter 289 Visit Rejected
Chapter 289 Visit Rejected
Shangtang Village.
After breakfast, Hang Shuheng went to the village head's house.
The head of the village and his family had just finished breakfast, and were a little surprised to see Hang Shuheng coming.
As soon as Xiao Wang saw Hang Shuheng, she felt uneasy, even though he hadn't said or done anything. She felt guilty about what she had done in the past, so she used the excuse of busying herself in the kitchen and never came out.
"Shuheng, what brings you here?"
"Well, uncle, I have something to talk to you about." He came here mainly to decide on the location of the workshop, so he didn't beat around the bush, "I want to buy the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, do you think it's possible?"
"You want to buy land?" The village head was surprised for a moment, then he immediately reacted and asked excitedly: "Why, are you going to start construction on your workshop?"
"Not so fast." Hang Shuheng smiled, "It's just that I've taken a fancy to that piece of land and want to buy it first."
"Okay, okay, okay, no problem." The headman said several "OKs" and couldn't sit still for a moment. He pulled Hang Shuheng out of the door and said, "Let's go, let's go check out the terrain first."
In fact, Hang Shuheng had already looked at the terrain, but seeing that the village head was so excited, he didn't want to spoil his fun, so he could only accompany him to the foot of the mountain again and point out the area he liked to the village head.
"Uncle, look, it's the area upstream. Building a workshop there is very convenient for obtaining materials and using water, as it is close to the mountains and rivers."
"Yes, that's a good location!" Li Zhenghao sighed and suddenly thought of something, saying, "But Shuheng, the area of that land is not small, at least dozens of acres. It will cost a lot of money to buy so much land!"
Although wasteland is not as valuable as farmland, buying so much land is not something that most people can afford.
"Don't worry about the money, uncle. I have recruited someone to join us, the shopkeeper Zhou from the county town. He will provide the money, and we will provide the skills and strength."
It is definitely not appropriate to take out so much silver at once, so we can only drag Manager Zhou out to explain it. Besides, this is the fact.
The village head felt a little uneasy after hearing what he said, fearing that Manager Zhou would not want to employ villagers to do work. "Since there is a new boss, who will be the next employees..."
"Don't worry, I have already reached an agreement with Shopkeeper Zhou. He will not interfere in the selection of workers for the workshop. When the time comes, we will still have to use people from our village to do the work. As long as they don't commit crimes, don't steal, and do their work in an honest way, the problem of food and clothing for the villagers can always be solved."
"Okay, okay, okay, Shuheng, I'm relieved that you care about the village."
The two men walked around the wasteland and casually circled the land they wanted to buy. Such a large piece of land needed to be reported to the government and have the government send people to measure it.
So, after inspecting the land, the two went to the county town together to report to the government.
That afternoon, the government sent people to measure the land and issue the land deed on the spot.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." After the work was done, Hang Shuheng stuffed a purse into each of the two officials who measured the land.
The official weighed the weight of his purse, immediately smiled, said a lot of nice things, and then left with great satisfaction.
The big fuss about Hang Shuheng buying land almost alarmed the entire village. The entire Shangtang Village was in an uproar over this matter, and everyone speculated that the workshop was about to start construction.
The next day, Hang Shuheng found Zhou Huan with the land deed. Buying land is such a big thing, so he had to inform his partners.
"Shuheng, you came at the right time. I was just about to take you to visit someone, the Lord Jiang you asked me about before."
"That person, is everything okay?" If he hadn't mentioned it, Hang Shuheng would have almost forgotten about that person.
"No problem, the master said that this person can be used."
The two got on a carriage and went to a small town near the county town, where they found the Jiang family in an alley.
Zhou Yin went to knock on the door, and it opened soon. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He looked at the people outside and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Zhou Huan stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this the residence of Lord Jiang Yinjiang? We are from the county town and would like to pay a visit to Lord Jiang."
"There is no Lord Jiang here, only common people with the surname Jiang." The middle-aged man showed no intention of giving way and said expressionlessly, "I advise you to go back. My father will not come out of retirement. Don't waste your breath."
Over the years, countless people have come to look for his father, but all of them have returned empty-handed.
He looked at the people outside the door and saw nothing special about them, so he didn't think highly of them at all.
"Thanks for the reminder, but please inform me anyway."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "You wait here." After that, he closed the door and left.
"Hey! This..." Zhou Yin looked at the tightly closed door and muttered, "Boss, this family is too unreasonable!"
"It's okay. We are bothering them by coming here today."
They waited outside the door for nearly half a quarter of an hour, and the door opened again. It was the same middle-aged man from before. He stood inside the door, still expressionless, "My father doesn't see guests, you can go back."
After saying that, without waiting for the people outside to react, the door slammed shut again.
The three people outside the door looked at the closed door, all confused...
Unexpectedly, I was turned away on my first visit.
On the way back to the county town, Hang Shuheng said, "It's okay. Since we need help from others, we should be sincere. If it doesn't work today, we can go another day."
He paused, then added: "Next time, Uncle Zhou, you don't have to accompany me. I can go alone."
He came in a hurry today and was not prepared at all. Even if he met someone, he would probably return empty-handed.
"Okay, let Zhou Yin follow you then."
Hang Shuheng did not refuse, but nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he thought of Wan Baolu's death and said casually, "By the way, I heard that Wan Baolu died in prison. Did you do it?"
"Wow! You're well-informed!" Zhou Huan smiled heartily and did not deny it. He raised his chin towards the man driving the carriage outside.
The meaning is very clear, it was Zhou Yin who did it.
"You can kill someone and make him die as if it were a natural death. I admire you."
Zhou Yin didn't look back, but just chuckled twice. This was the basic skill of a secret guard and was not worth mentioning at all, even though he was no longer a secret guard.
