The best comprehension maniac

After listening to what Old Shenmu said, Pi Zhan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Didn't Lin Tian say that just by reporting his name, he could get help from Old Shenmu? Why did this assistance come at a price now?

"What? You don't agree? Then get out of here, kid. I know your Dongchang caused a lot of noise in Liecheng last night, but I'm not afraid of you, let alone you, even if thousands of you came together.

Attacking my Shenmu Mansion will lead to no return." Old Man Shenmu hummed confidently. Although there were not many people guarding his mansion, there were traps everywhere that ordinary people could not break into casually.

A wry smile appeared on Pi Zhan's lips. He was now desperate. If he didn't agree to Old Shenmu's offer, he would probably be sleeping on the streets tonight.

But he did not agree directly. Instead, he tentatively cupped his fists at the old man Shenmu and asked, "I wonder what you want me to do?"

"What are you asking me for again? Tell me and I will think about what to ask you to do." Old Shenmu said rather cunningly.

He is a person who refuses to suffer losses. He always insists on "fair trade", but this fairness always tends to be his. Let alone others, even if Lin Tian does business with him, Lin Tian will still suffer some losses.

Pi Zhan nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, I am here to ask you for a very simple thing this time. Our Dongchang moved out from the palace, but the Ministry of Revenue did not give me money to rent a house for the people of Dongchang.

, we just want a place to live now, you see..."

"Is it such a simple thing?" Old Shenmu asked.

"It's easy to say it's easy. It's hard to say it's not easy." Pi Zhan said with a smile: "We have more than a thousand people in Dongchang, and ordinary houses cannot accommodate them."

"Tch, so what if there are a thousand people? Even if you have ten thousand people, I can still make arrangements." Old Shenmu curled his lips disdainfully.

"Yes, yes, yes." Pi Zhan finally felt relieved and asked again, "I wonder what you want our Dongchang to do for you?"

Old Shenmu suddenly narrowed his eyes and waved to Pi Zhan. Pi Zhan stepped forward in response, "Isn't your Dongchang very powerful?"

"This is natural." Pi Zhan said with a smile: "We have the power to supervise the people and the civil and military ministers. No one can touch us except the emperor."

"This will make me feel at ease. I have arranged for you to live in a house in the suburbs of mine. But you have to send someone to guard Shenmu Mansion for me, because I will be traveling to another country in a few days. It will take a long time to come back." Old Shenmu finally said.

If he leaves the Shenmu Mansion despite his own request, what he will be most worried about is the dazzling array of rare treasures in the Shenmu Mansion. Now they are guarded by Dongchang. Absolutely no one will dare to touch them.

Pi Zhan was startled for a moment and asked with some surprise: "Is this the condition? It's too simple. Don't worry, I will let my men guard Shenmu Mansion day and night and never let thieves sneak in."

"Don't take it seriously." Old Shenmu chuckled and said, "The things in my house are worth thousands of gold. If I come back and find that there are less things, you kid will not even think about living."

Pi Zhan had the urge to cry. Damn it. This old man Shenmu was so unkind. He was already very good at helping look after the house, but he actually wanted to settle the account with him after losing something. It was really cruel.

But he still nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will protect everything in Shenmu Mansion."

"Hehe, you are quite smart." Old Shenmu pointed at the old man beside him and said, "This is my housekeeper. From now on, your Dong Factory will receive one hundred thousand taels of guard fees from him every month."

One hundred thousand taels is quite a lot for ordinary people, but for the old man Shenmu, it is nothing. Compared with the treasures in the house, it is like gravel in the sea.

Originally he didn't want to give money to Dongchang. But in the end he decided to give some money, otherwise the people in Dongchang probably wouldn't work for him. These days, money can still make a difference.

"One hundred thousand taels?" Pi Zhan's eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth opened even more. He had never seen so much money since he was a child. He quickly came to his senses and said with a flattering face:

"Thank you for your kindness. You can rest assured that I will protect every plant and tree in Shenmu Mansion during your trip."

I was still a little reluctant at first, but suddenly I got one hundred thousand taels, which was different. It was just money, hundreds of times more than his annual salary.

"You are quite good at being a human being, but please remember that you can do evil if God does it, but you can't live if you do evil on your own. The treasures in my house are dazzling, but don't get red-eyed, kid. If it's you,

You're a thief, don't blame me for being ruthless." Old Shenmu smiled coldly, an invisible murderous intention steamed up from his body, and a chill suddenly penetrated Pi Zhan's body.

Pi Zhan's body couldn't help but trembled greatly, and then he was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was shaking. He didn't expect that the old man Shenmu had such a strong cultivation level, it was simply unfathomable, and this old man

His murderous aura was also very strong. It can be seen that in addition to curing diseases and saving people, he also killed many people.

"Yes, I... know." Pi Zhan reluctantly squeezed out these words from his mouth, and then asked: "I wonder where your suburban house is? I can let my men move there."

"My house is on Tiangong Mountain in the north of Liecheng. You can take people there directly, and you can use the things in the house as you wish." Old Shenmu said lightly, but there was a sly smile in his eyes.

"Okay, I..." Pi Zhan was about to nod his thanks, but found something was wrong, and hurriedly said with curiosity and surprise: "No, as far as I know, there is only one Tiangong Mansion on Tiangong Mountain, and there are no other houses.

?”

But the old man Shenmu said seriously: "Did I say it's another mansion? It's the Shenmu Mansion you're talking about. Stop inking and take your people there quickly."

"No, no, no." Pi Zhan said quickly, "I would never dare to live in this Tiangong Mansion. That was given to Tiangong Old Man by the Emperor..."

Before Pi Zhan finished speaking, Old Shenmu shouted: "What's this mess? I have already bought it from Old Man Tiangong, and it is now my private property. Feel free to go and live there."

"Really?" Pi Zhan looked at Old Shenmu in disbelief.

"Wealth can lead to the gods." After the old man Shenmu dropped these four words, he returned directly to his house.

Looking at the door of Shenmu Mansion slowly closing, Pi Zhan was stunned. These four words kept stirring in his heart and could not stop for a long time... (To be continued)
