Chapter 120  : Chapter 96-buying a house (2) ?“You’re free today?” “Of course I’m not free if others ask, but brother Xiao, you’re different.

Even if you’re not free, you have to be free.” “Slippery.” Xiao ran rolled his eyes at him.

She saw that he had changed his clothes and was now wearing the uniform of an express Constable.

“Have you been promoted?” “I was lucky.” Lao Bai laughed smugly.

“It’s pretty good.

” Xiao ran was happy for him.

“I bought some houses.

Since I’m free, I’d like to meet you guys.” “Some? Not one set?” “Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

Lao Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stretched his head,””Brother Xiao, do you still need more people in the divine sword guards? Do you think I can do it?” “This place isn’t doing well?” Xiao ran asked.

“I don’t earn as much as you guys.” “We have a lot of missions, and they’re very dangerous.

If you’re not careful, you’ll be doomed forever.

If you’re not afraid of the danger, I can help you.” “What about little Zhou?” Lao Bai said.

“He’s smarter than you, and his cultivation talent is pretty good, especially in terms of body movement.

Don’t underestimate him just because he’s only in the Grandmaster realm.

When he really runs, even a martial Grandmaster can’t catch up to him.

” Gulu! Lao Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva.”This kid is too good at running, isn’t he?” “When we came back yesterday, his father led a group of people to block him at the city gate.

There were also two martial grandmasters, but they couldn’t even touch the corner of his clothes.” “A talent!” Lao Bai was completely convinced.

He informed the bailiff.

The two of them left together and were on their way to the Ministry of Justice.

Lao Bai sighed,”brother Xiao, you know?” Elder Zheng hasn’t been doing well recently.

” “What happened to him?” Xiao ran felt strange.

“Speaking of which, they are not of the same social status.

Elder Zheng fell in love with the daughter of the minister of Justice, and the other party also had a good impression of him.

If this situation continues, when the raw rice is cooked, no matter how unwilling the Minister of Justice is, once the child is born, he will have to pinch his nose and accept it.

” After a pause, Lao Bai felt that it was not worth it for him.

“Just as they were dating at the red line bridge, the Minister of Justice somehow got wind of the news and brought his men to capture them on the spot.

If it wasn’t for that girl pleading for mercy and threatening him with her death, elder Zheng would have been charged with a series of groundless crimes.

The lightest punishment would be to be sent to the border, and the worst would be to be killed on the spot!” “When did that happen?” Xiao ran asked in a serious tone.

“It happened after you left.

He has lost his official position and is now living in a rented apartment.” “Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

They entered the alley and stopped outside a small courtyard.

Before they entered, they heard the sound of cursing coming from inside.

“You can’t even afford the rent and you still want to live at my place? Take advantage of the fact that this old lady hasn’t made a move yet and quickly get lost!” The two of them looked at each other and entered the small courtyard without a word.

In the courtyard.

A fat woman, with her hands on her hips and seven or eight guards, pointed at the closed door and cursed.

When she heard the footsteps behind her, she turned around instinctively.

He saw Xiao ran and Lao Bai.

The former was wearing a set of black brocade clothes made of the highest quality natural silk and was very expensive.

The latter’s clothes were not bad either.

Although they were not as good as natural silk, they still cost a lot.

He restrained his arrogance and asked doubtfully,””Who are you?” “You’re the landlord?” Xiao ran said.

“I am! And you guys are?” “What’s going on?” Xiao ran asked again.

“Hmph! He’s already delayed it for three days, and he still hasn’t paid me the rent.

” The fat woman said.

“How much is it?” “Two taels of silver.” Xiao ran took out two taels of silver and threw it over.”Take your men and get out of here.” The fat woman had good eyesight.

From the way they were dressed, she knew that they couldn’t be offended.

Moreover ...

Old Zheng was an official before, so it was inevitable that he knew some big shots.

Perhaps they were the ones.

He took the money, smiled apologetically at Xiao ran and the other man, and left quickly with his men.

“I’ve failed my duty,” Lao Bai blamed himself.

He had heard a little about elder Zheng’s incident, but he didn’t expect it to be so tragic.

There were a lot of things to do at the Yamen and he was too busy with work that he neglected to do so.

“I don’t blame you.” Xiao ran said.

He walked to the door.

The door was locked from the inside.

He smacked it hard and broke the door bolt, then he entered the room.

In the bedroom.

Old Zheng had nothing to live for.

He lay on the bed like a walking corpse.

His eyes were empty as he looked at the old and dusty cobweb above his head.

He could not see any life in them.

Even when Xiao ran and Lao Bai came, they didn’t seem to see them.

“You better get up!” Lao Bai rushed over.

He grabbed elder Zheng’s clothes and lifted him up from the bed.

Elder Zheng was not surprised.

His expression did not change at all as he let him pick it up.

Seeing him like this, Lao Bai was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him to wake him up.

His palm had already been raised, hanging in the air, but it did not fall down.

“I’m so angry!” Lao Bai said angrily.

She threw him onto the bed.

“Brother Xiao, he’s already crippled! He’s no longer the old Zheng that we know.

” Xiao ran looked at him.”If you don’t stand up by the count of three, let’s go!” After we leave this door, we’ll mind our own business.

” Three breaths passed quickly.

“Coward!” Lao Bai cursed.

He turned around and left.

When the two of them reached the door, elder Zheng, who was on the bed, started to cry.

He rushed down as fast as he could.”Stop!” He stood in front of the two of them, a heart-piercing pain hidden in the corner of his eyes.

“Why bother?” Xiao ran sighed.

He entered the house.

Elder Zheng explained the situation in detail, including what had happened after he was arrested by the Minister of Justice.magic
