Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1350 - 1187: Fatty (2)
Previously on Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System...
It’s obvious that the fat man who bid three thousand taels was also stunned by this fellow’s words. When he looked at this young man, he frowned, but as he frowned, the young man was instantly flustered.
After all, his true identity is really just that of an ordinary citizen, and as for why he was bargaining, he was completely blinded by money, thinking that if he could sell for more, his future days would be better.
Yet he never expected that, after uttering those words, the other party would show such expression. This made him somewhat afraid, afraid that he might really have angered the other party.
If he truly angered them, would they still be willing to purchase his house?
One must know that three thousand taels is not a small amount. As long as the other party puts the word out, as long as the other party waits here for a period of time, surely many people would want to sell their houses, as three thousand taels is an astronomical figure, a number beyond the reach of everyone here.
Therefore, thinking of this, he immediately waved his hand at the fat man and said:
"Alright, alright, sir, if you like it, let’s settle on three thousand taels."
After saying this, the people around were stunned again. Could it be that they all misunderstood?
Looking at this fellow again, finding that his body was slightly trembling, they couldn’t help but secretly smile, shaking their heads, silently wondering if they had overthought, as everyone here is just ordinary citizens.
If not for the new emperor’s ascension, these people would still be working as tenant farmers.
As the fat man’s originally furrowed brow slowly relaxed following this fellow’s words, he also nodded to the young man:
"Okay, since that’s the case, let’s complete this transaction. Come, show me where your house is and what it’s like."
After saying this, the fat man led the way into the community.
And the young man followed closely behind, heading inside.
However, when they reached the gate of the community, several people immediately stepped forward to block them.
"Who are you? This is a private place, no unauthorized entry allowed."
These people were none other than those responsible for security in this community, something Lin Yi could do because he knew that once it was built, many people would want to come in and see. At that time, if too many merchants rushed in, it would inevitably affect the lives of the citizens here.
For this reason, he had a few soldiers temporarily stand guard here, considered the earliest batch of security personnel, so it was like the property management here.
Usually, citizens just need to show a special item that verifies their identity, but today jumping forward to outright barring entry and rebuking them for unauthorized entry is indeed a first.
As for why it had to be like this, it’s because the fat man was dressed in luxurious clothing, which the citizens here could not afford.
Thus, the guards immediately stepped forward to stop them.
It is precisely because of their presence that the merchants could only stand eagerly at the gate and wait, the reason why they didn’t immediately rush into the community to investigate.
For this reason, the fat man now awkwardly looked toward the young gentleman beside him.
Seeing this, the young man quickly ran forward and said to those soldiers:
"Soldiers, soldiers, we live right inside."
As he said this, he hurriedly reached into his bosom to fish out a small key and handed it to the soldier before him.
You should know, the locks on the doors of all the houses in the community use locks different from what is current, so this small key became a symbol of their identity; as long as one has this, it can prove they live inside.
When the soldiers saw the key, they frowned, raising their gaze to look at the key before lifting their gaze to look at the fat man, then said to the young man:
"Who is he?"
His questions aren’t unwarranted, as the other party’s attire is simply too extravagant, and these people had already noticed the fat man’s presence, having seen this fellow was active and loitering outside earlier. If it weren’t for their presence, the fat man would’ve likely rushed in.
For this reason, only now did he speak and ask this question, and hearing this, the fat man’s forehead broke into a cold sweat; he didn’t dare force his way in here, and if the other party truly decided not to let him enter, he’d have to find other means, but as far as arguing or attempting to force entry, he absolutely didn’t have the courage for it.
After all, he fully understands who the master behind here is, that it is none other than the current emperor. And who is the current emperor?
He is the biggest figure under the heavens.
And thus, who would dare to touch the emperor’s beard?
Yet one has to admit, the young man was indeed clever, his eyes darted around before immediately smiling and speaking to the soldiers:
"Soldiers, soldiers, he is my distant cousin, knowing we’ve moved in today, he specially came to see us."
After saying this, the fat man couldn’t help feeling a surge of joy within, simultaneously giving the young man a thumbs up in his heart. Didn’t see how this young man was so clever, looks like today he truly has a chance to get inside.
Not only the fat man but the soldiers too felt the same.
Giving the fat man a glance, then looking at the young man in front of them, suddenly they realized what was happening.
It’s just that the higher-ups didn’t explain such circumstances, because the other party is the owner here, therefore if they want to invite their relatives inside, he really didn’t have the authority to impede, after all, their role is merely to defend against bad people.
Even though they knew, this fat man might very well have no connection with the other party whatsoever; after all, the other party’s identity is easily recognizable from his stout physique and luxurious attire, not something a relative of such impoverished citizens could possibly have.
For this reason, they understand the statement has a significant amount of falsity to it, yet despite this, there is nothing they could do to obstruct, they could only return the key to the other party.
Then, under the gaze of both men, they directly waved their flag, indicating they could go inside.
Seeing this situation, the fat man immediately wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, quickly flattering and bowing to these soldiers, though these soldiers outright ignored him.
Even when the fat man silently handed a few bars of silver to the guarding General, the person quietly accepted it, subsequently not giving him another glance.
Though the unpleasant look on his face disappeared without a trace, naturally, as far as giving him a smile is concerned, that was absolutely unrealistic, given all the people watching outside.
Yet seeing the other party accepted the silver, the fat man’s smile grew wider, repeatedly nodding and bowing to the other party, before quickly following the young man inside.
As for why the fat man, who originally could already enter, still had to give the silver,
it’s easy to understand, after all, the fat man plans to purchase a house inside, and in the coming days will inevitably pass through here frequently, so for this reason, if he doesn’t deal with these people properly,
