Chapter 324: Life is not easy, Zhang Cheng sighs!

~8 min read 1,440 words

Capital, a certain agency.

The waiter at the door saw someone enter and immediately smiled: "Oh, this guest, what would you like to buy? We not only have houses here, but also Silla maids..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a full face of smiles, the waiter introduced him enthusiastically.

Hearing the waiter's words, Zhang Cheng sat on the chair boldly and said, "I want to sell a house!"

"Sell a house?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, the waiter asked, "Guest, are you not joking?"

Nowadays, housing prices in the capital are rising day by day; now someone actually wants to sell a house—is their brain not working right?

But just as the waiter was thinking, Zhang Cheng said, "Just say if you're buying or not, stop babbling!"

"Buy, buy, buy, I'll call the shopkeeper out right now!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the waiter hurriedly went to call someone.

Before long, a slightly fat man walked out and said, "This guest, you want to sell a house!"

"Yes, it's me!"

Looking at the shopkeeper indifferently, Zhang Cheng said, "East City, a two-entrance courtyard, you give a price!"

"A two-entrance courtyard? I don't know who the guest is..."

Looking Zhang Cheng up and down, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Is this enough?"

Lifting his clothes, Zhang Cheng revealed the waist token belonging to the Northern Depot.

Seeing it was an Embroidered Uniform Guard, the shopkeeper revealed a fearful expression: "My lord, this old man does business with integrity, absolutely no..."

"Alright, stop talking about this, it has nothing to do with me, I just want to sell the house! Give me a price!"

Looking at the shopkeeper, Zhang Cheng squinted.

There is a saying in ancient times that is very good: car, boat, foot, shop, agency—even if they are innocent, they should be killed.

Because the hearts of people in these five trades are the blackest!

Among ten people, if you kill nine, there will definitely be fish that slipped through the net, just think about it!

"Guest, according to the current housing prices in the capital, I will give you this number, what do you think!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a full face of smiles, the shopkeeper held up three fingers.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Zhang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Three thousand taels?"

"Yes, three thousand taels, this is already the highest price I can afford!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the shopkeeper laughed.

"Three thousand taels is three thousand taels, but you have to give half first. I'm going to take up a post elsewhere in two days and need to buy some things!"

Looking at the shopkeeper, Zhang Cheng said.

"Guest, there is no such rule, do you see..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng aggrievedly, the shopkeeper's face turned ugly.

Because there is no such thing as giving money before signing the papers at the government office!

"Why, don't you believe me? Or is it that my token is not enough!"

Pulling out the Northern Depot waist token and smashing it on the table, Zhang Cheng looked at the shopkeeper coldly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, guest, you are the Son of Heaven's personal army, how could that be!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng angry, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained.

Before long, just after Zhang Cheng left with fifteen hundred taels of silver notes, the shopkeeper turned and said, "Go, watch this guy, make sure he doesn't run away!"

"Shopkeeper, that token?"

Looking at the shopkeeper in confusion, the waiter was surprised.

"The token is real, the aura on him can't be faked. But I'm afraid he'll compare prices at three shops, that's hard to say!"

Speaking to the waiter beside him, the shopkeeper turned serious.

Because if he gets that two-entrance courtyard back, he can earn at least fifteen hundred taels!

It was precisely because he was afraid Zhang Cheng would choose to sell to others that the shopkeeper became worried.

"Then should I go take a look?"

Speaking to the shopkeeper, the waiter hurriedly smiled: "Go, see which shop he enters!"

Looking at the waiter beside him, the shopkeeper couldn't help but chuckle.

After coming out of the agency, Zhang Cheng turned and walked into other shops.

After visiting five or six shops one after another, Zhang Cheng touched the silver notes in his bosom and couldn't help but sigh: "The agencies these days are still too naive. So what if I'm the Son of Heaven's personal army? Can't the Son of Heaven's personal army lie?"

Embroidered Uniform Guard: Our reputation, damn it, was all ruined by you!

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth rose in a smile.

Sell the house? What a joke, he, Zhang Mou, has never been this pathetic in his life.

With nearly nine thousand taels of silver notes in his bosom, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but hum a little tune.

Because tomorrow, after he leaves, these agencies can look for whoever they want!

Two days later, when the shopkeepers waited and waited and didn't see Zhang Cheng, they immediately planned to visit.

However, when they arrived here, they were dumbfounded: isn't this the Western Depot government office?

"What are you doing, what are you doing? What are you doing here!"

Walking out with a blade at his waist, the Western Depot agent scolded them.

(Reading)

"That, we came to look for... an Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Looking at the agent before them, the leading agency shopkeeper hurriedly spoke.

"Hmm? You're drunk, aren't you? Coming to my Western Depot to look for an Embroidered Uniform Guard, I think you want to go to the Heavenly Prison!"

Roaring, the Western Depot agent immediately bellowed.

Because the relationship between their Western Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard is not very friendly.

After all, they are both competitors, can the relationship be good?

You've seen who likes their peers; when both sides meet, if they don't beat each other's brains out, that's already considered polite!

"My lord, forgive us, forgive us, we'll leave right now!"

Leaving in fear, the agency shopkeepers hurriedly begged for mercy.

Because if they were really locked up by the Western Depot, that would truly be losing the wife and the army!

However, just after a few shopkeepers gathered together, everyone was instantly stunned.

Because the prices they gave were all the same, all three thousand taels, and Zhang Cheng even asked for half as a deposit!

Staring at the accounts, everyone was dumbfounded.

Because the money Zhang Cheng earned was exactly the profit they could have made!

Zhang Cheng: A bunch of old sixes, still wanting to earn my money! Eat shit!

On the way to Jin Ling, to save steps, Zhang Cheng specially bought a horse from the Northern Depot.

It cost him fifteen taels of silver and two pots of wine.

Because it belongs to the internal military horses, the quality is guaranteed!

If it were outside, then sorry, military horses are not for sale; raising them privately, you might even get into trouble!

Riding the horse, Zhang Cheng hummed a little tune: "Today is a good day..."

But just as Zhang Cheng was singing, a group of people suddenly appeared on the side of the road.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but cover his face and say: "Brothers, we haven't even left the capital yet? You are robbing here, you are really not afraid of death!"

"We are here for you!"

Stepping forward, the leading woman lifted her veil.

Looking at her appearance, Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but roar: "How bold, you thief, you killed my Company Commander, and you dare to appear before me!"

"Your Company Commander, did I really kill him?"

Squinting, the woman looked at Zhang Cheng and couldn't help but raise a sneer, appearing very mocking.

Even if other Embroidered Uniform Guards didn't see it, it didn't mean she didn't know what Zhang Cheng did!

If Zhang Cheng hadn't suddenly slapped the horse, how could that Company Commander have rushed up like an idiot and used his throat to resist her sword!

Twitching his mouth looking at the woman, Zhang Cheng immediately turned serious: "Don't talk nonsense, I am loyal to my Company Commander, don't insult my innocence..."

"Come down and talk!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the woman raised a sneer.

But looking at the woman, and a group of people in black, Zhang Cheng said: "That, can I not get off the horse?"

"Splash!"

Raising their crossbows, a group of people in black looked at Zhang Cheng, as if saying, try not getting off!
