The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 479 An unexpected gain
On the 27th day of the 12th month of the 18th year of the Minghua era of the Great Chang Kingdom, it was sunny.

The clear winter sky also covered the entire city with snow, and people could be seen shoveling snow from time to time on the wide streets of Fucheng.

Two very low-key carriages also slowly left the city.

The vehicle in front was filled with all sorts of odds and ends.

And three men who stared at each other for a long time.

Because the weather was so cold, Old Mrs. Wang decided to buy another carriage.

They even hired two people specifically to drive the carriage.

To be precise, it was two people who bought the tickets.

These two were bought by Old Lady Wang from a middleman. She said that a wealthy family had their property confiscated and all the servants had been sold off. These two were not very strong, but they ate a lot, so they were returned several times after being bought.

Fortunately, she could still ride a horse-drawn carriage, so Old Mrs. Wang spent two taels of silver to buy them together.

If it had happened the day before, Wang Chuanfu's people would have tried to persuade Old Mrs. Wang, saying things like their family already had enough people and there was no need to buy servants from outside.

Even the glutinous rice balls at home aren't bought just because you want to.

However, now, none of the three of them have such thoughts anymore.

Just recently, Old Mrs. Wang directly bought two courtyards, the two that the middleman had introduced.

The initial 1300 taels of silver were directly reduced by Old Madam Wang by various intermediary fees.

The 1000 taels of silver included some secondhand furniture as a bonus.

And it also included what had happened in that courtyard. It turned out that a murder had occurred in that courtyard, and most of the owners were killed. Later, when the constables went to investigate the case, one of the constables was seriously injured.

The family felt the house was very unlucky, so they wanted to sell it.

He had deceived a few people before, but those who later moved in either got sick or injured and demanded to check out, treating him like a hot potato.

Grandma Wang was not afraid of these things at all, and she bought the house while it was cheap. However, this time Grandma Wang did not plan to let her family stay there. Instead, she said to Wang Chuanman, "We stayed at the Weifeng Escort Agency for one night, so we should at least thank them. Why don't you find a place to hold a banquet and invite them over for a meal?"

By the way, let them see the Wang family's new home in the prefectural city.

Wang Chuanman treated the brothers from the escort agency to a meal and then had them search the house thoroughly.

They then discovered a secret passage in the house that led to another underground courtyard, where there were quite a few animals.

Very cruel.

There are also horrifying skeletons of people who were eaten.

This immediately alarmed Prefect Wei.

When Prefect Wei arrived with his men, they discovered that very day that the clues left behind by the remains led to notorious bandits and the perpetrator of the murder case.

This includes the family's research, which was originally conducted underground.

The house was sealed off by the authorities.

The house would have been lost like this otherwise, but since Prefect Wei and Old Lady Wang knew each other, they naturally took a different approach.

The government assessed the original value of the house and concluded that, given the presence of two courtyards above and below ground, and the fact that the murder case had been solved, the house could be sold at a slightly discounted price.

The final assessment determined that the courtyard was worth 1800 taels of silver.

In just two days, Old Mrs. Wang made 800 taels of silver by reselling.

Without saying a word, she went to the same middleman again and bought an even more spacious courtyard. This time, the price wasn't much lower, and she spent another 1300 taels.

That wasn't all. After buying the two courtyards, Old Mrs. Wang went to look at shops and bought two more, spending another 900 taels of silver.
