Chapter 274 Xu Qian’an: Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!
Yang Qianhuan was very disappointed. His plan to show his prowess in front of others had failed. He turned his back to everyone and killed the bandits, shocking the two Jinluos, but the script was snatched away by Li Changan.

The two Golden Gong night watchmen confirmed that Fahun was dead, and their expressions were complicated, especially Yang Yan's expression was wonderful.

The monk he stabbed ten times but failed to kill was smashed to pieces by Li Changan with one palm. You have to know that he is one of the top fighters in the capital.

This means that Li Changan's martial arts power surpasses the Four Golden Gongs.

Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou looked at each other and knew that it was time to report to Wei Yuan and recruit Li Changan into the night watchmen's office.

However, before Wei Yuan agreed, the two of them did not dare to make any move on their own.

"Actually... I didn't mean to kill him just now."

Facing Chu Caiwei's starry eyes, Li Changan explained calmly.

This is also true. After learning the "Jie" secret of the Nine Secrets of Covering the Sky, the chance of triggering it is now one percent, and any moves of martial artists and Taoists may trigger it.

Li Changan used his strongest move, Kang Long You Hui, which triggered exactly that 1 percent chance. The secret of "Jie" was activated, unleashing ten times the power of Kang Long You Hui.

The monk Fahunhua won the 1% lottery, which was indeed an accident.

But when other people heard this, it seemed as if Li Changan had not used his full strength and had just defeated the monk with a little force.

The corners of Yang Qianhuan's mouth twitched wildly. He felt challenged. Li Changan was obviously better at pretending than him.

"Li Changan, you are so amazing!"

Chu Caiwei did not hide her admiration at all. The two Golden Gong night watchmen didn't know what to say for a moment. They didn't expect that it had such power to kill people. What would the scene be like if it was used with all its strength?

Li Changan shook his head and stopped explaining, "Caiwei, put your hand on my shoulder."

The cute girl had no resistance to the type she liked. She put her hand on Li Changan's shoulder without hesitation, and then asked, "What are you doing?"

Li Changan hugged her waist and whispered, "The capital is within ten feet."

Then, Yang Qianhuan heard Chu Caiwei's excited scream, "So fast! So exciting!"

Then, he saw Li Changan hugging his junior sister and walking away, disappearing in an instant.

Yang Qianhuan clenched his hands tightly, and a sense of crisis he had never felt before spread throughout his body, "Li Changan, I am becoming more and more interested in you."

Li Changan took Chu Caiwei for a ride to the city gate. People from the Six Gates and the government office were waiting. Chu Caiwei told them what had happened in a rush.

If it wasn't said by the prestigious disciple of the Chief of the Imperial Observatory himself, no one would have believed that Li Changan killed the Vajra Monk with one palm.

"Caiwei, let's go."

Li Changan called out, and Chu Caiwei jumped and followed Li Changan into the capital.

At the city gate, Lu Qing whispered, "I'm going to report to Lord Chen that the criminal has finally been brought to justice."

The deputy chief constable of the Six Gates said, "I'm going to report to Minister Sun that the position of the chief constable of the Six Gates has been found!"

Li Changan brought Chu Caiwei into the inner city. Xu Pingzhi was waiting at the gate of the palace. Today was his day off.

Xu Pingzhi came running over and said with a charming smile, "Master Li, Miss Caiwei, shall we go look at the house now?"

Hearing Xu Pingzhi say this, Chu Caiwei asked in confusion, "Li Changan, are you going to buy a house?"

"Yes, I haven't had time to tell you. I wonder if you are free today?" Li Changan tried his best to act like a gentleman.

Chu Caiwei said quickly, "Yes, yes, I can help you with Feng Shui!"

Li Changan smiled with satisfaction. He didn't know what he had touched Chu Caiwei and made this little girl so fascinated by him.

He took Chu Caiwei with him, and Xu Pingzhi, who followed behind him, sensibly kept a certain distance, and the three of them entered the dental clinic together.

Xu Pingzhi understands the market and can help Li Changan identify some pitfalls, but he cannot replace the real estate agent.

"Master, Madam, are you buying or renting?"

The smile of the old broker in the dental shop was even more enthusiastic than Xu Pingzhi's. When Chu Caiwei heard it, her eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile.

"All is up to the master!"

Li Changan also said in tacit agreement, "Buy a property, a six-story house, a bigger one."

Hearing Li Changan's words, Chu Caiwei asked nervously, "Li Changan, are there many people in your family?"

Looking at Chu Caiwei's expression, she looked like a young daughter-in-law who was about to meet her parents, with a face full of nervousness.

"I'm the only one right now, but there may be a lot of people in the future, so it's better to be prepared."

The old agent seemed not to have heard what Chu Caiwei said, but was shocked by Li Changan's demand for a six-story house. A house with six stories was not something that ordinary people could afford, and the brokerage firm had not sold such a large house this year.

If this deal is successful, not only will the old agent himself, but their entire dental business will be able to survive for three years!
As the saying goes, if you don’t open a business for three years, you will make a living for three years after you open it.

"Master, the six-story houses are all priced between 10,000 and 18,000 taels. Please sit down first and I will make a list for you."

Looking at the old man's expression, he probably didn't even serve his own father so warmly.

Without waiting for Li Changan to answer, the old agent helped Li Changan to sit on the chair, and then began to write the list. All the information about such a big house was in his mind.

Li Changan was about to pick up the tea and take a sip, but Chu Caiwei got there first.

She was too excited just now and talked too much at the city gate. She drank her teacup dry and directly picked up Li Changan's water cup.

"Caiwei, are you thirsty?"

When the little girl saw Li Changan raising his hand, she quickly and gently put the teacup back into Li Changan's hand, "It's okay, drink it."

Li Changan took two sips, and then the teacup was snatched away by Chu Caiwei, who drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Pingzhi saw it all and secretly sighed in his heart, Lord Li has a bright future!

Not only did Prince Yu and his daughter value him, but even the female disciples in charge did not treat Li Changan as an outsider.

Soon the old agent made a list. Li Changan and Xu Pingzhi discussed it for a long time, and Xu Pingzhi eliminated all the haunted houses that were too old, where someone had died, or where the entire family had been executed.

If it weren't for an old Imperial Sword Guard like Xu Pingzhi, most people would not really understand the trick.

"Sir, this house is closer to Prince Yu's Mansion, so it's more convenient for the princess to come here. This place is closer to the government office, so it will be very convenient for Lord Chen to find you. This place is close to the palace, so it's definitely very safe. This place is closer to the Jiaofangsi..."

Xu Pingzhi introduced Li Changan bit by bit, carefully observing Li Changan's expression. After all, he was not very familiar with Li Changan and didn't know what his hobbies were.

During the short half day of waiting for Li Changan, Xu Pingzhi had already made up his mind that as long as he could curry favor with Li Changan, he would stay with him to the end even if he had to spend the night in the Jiaofangsi!

Afterwards, the three of them looked at these houses one by one. Chu Caiwei finally made a conclusion and ranked these houses according to their feng shui.

Li Changan followed his words and took the two of them to Xuanwu Street and stood in front of the house with the best feng shui that Chu Caiwei mentioned.

This place is not far from the imperial palace. Xu Pingzhi said repeatedly, "It is very safe to live here. The Imperial Sword Guards often pass by here during their patrols. In addition, this house used to belong to an elder. Later, the elder returned to his hometown to retire and sold the house. It is both elegant and auspicious."

Chu Caiwei looked at the compass and said, "Living here will bring you a prosperous career, abundant wealth, and good luck in love!"

Li Changan frowned. It was not that he did not believe Chu Caiwei, but he felt that what Chu Caiwei said was a bit exaggerated.

Finally, Li Changan looked at the house carefully again, and he felt more and more satisfied. After all, it was a place where intellectuals lived. It was elegant and noble.

Finally, Li Changan stopped at the door of the house and said, "Then let's buy this one. I'll go back to the dental office to pay the deposit. Thank you very much, both of you. You can go back."

Xu Pingzhi quickly said, "I am going the same way as you, sir. Let's go together."

Chu Caiwei stretched and said lazily, "I'm so sleepy. I want to go back to sleep. Li Changan, have you really decided to buy this house?"

Li Changan nodded and said, "Of course, I am very satisfied with every aspect."

Chu Caiwei suddenly smiled brightly, "Hello, new neighbor, I'm going back to sleep." She walked happily into the gate of the house next door...

No wonder Chu Caiwei said that living here would bring her good luck in love. It turns out that the good luck in love refers to herself!

"Sir, after you buy the house, you still need to buy servants. If you live alone, just buy a few maids."

"Maids can buy the relatives of prisoners from the government, or go to the market to look for them. There are also some young masters who rob them on the street..."

Li Changan frowned and said, "It's not appropriate."

Xu Pingzhi said, "Young Master Zhang Yi, who fell into your hands, is an expert in this field. He has a large family and great influence. If he is really favored and taken into the palace, the common people will have to recognize him."

"Of course, the ones I just mentioned are slaves of low status, and some maids are of good status. They are only hired to be your housekeepers, and you cannot dispose of them at will."

Li Changan said, "Please help me pick a few good people. I will hire two. As long as they are diligent and sensible, I can give them five taels of silver as a regular salary after a month of trial."

Xu Pingzhi simply couldn't believe his ears. Li Changan actually didn't buy a maid that he could dispose of at will. Most wealthy families did this.

After all, Li Changan is a man, so it is normal for him to buy two bed-warming maids. He cannot bully hired good girls casually, and he must give Mu Xiu time to visit his relatives.

Moreover, the standard fee was too high. Twenty taels could almost buy a slave maid. Even if she was a good maid, it would be a great favor from her master if she could earn one tael of silver a month.

In fact, there is a reason why Li Changan did not choose slave maids. He didn't know what the backgrounds of those maids were, so it would be more comfortable to use them than to have good maids with clean backgrounds.

He himself was not short of money, and giving more money to the maid would make her more dedicated and work harder.

"Sir, will you consider it again?"

Xu Pingzhi did have the channels, but he didn't quite believe that Li Changan paid the maid such high treatment.

"That's it. I believe in your vision." Li Changan smiled faintly and said meaningfully.

Xu Pingzhi's wife is both beautiful and capable, so there shouldn't be any problems asking Xu Pingzhi to help find a good maid.

After Xu Pingzhi followed Li Changan out of the dental clinic, he returned to his home with a lot on his mind.

His wife, Li Ru, was wearing a wide-sleeved dress and was busy cooking dinner. She was from a scholarly family, and her father was a scholar. Seeing his wife's back, Xu Pingzhi suddenly felt that Li Changan was right, and that he, Xu Pingzhi, had excellent vision.

The family was having dinner around a small table, including son Xu Xinnian, daughter Xu Lingyue, and four-year-old little pudding Xu Lingyin.

"The hero Li who saved Princess Pingyang, today killed the criminal who killed the chief constable of the Six Gates, and I heard he also studied Confucianism and Taoism.

But my classmates in the academy didn’t quite believe it. How could there be such a murderous Confucian scholar? They didn’t know if he could write poetry, understand classics and history, or know the art of war. "

Xu Xinnian mentioned Li Changan casually. He was well-informed. Scholars were a little arrogant and would stubbornly distrust things that were not in line with common sense.

"He bought a house today, right next to the imperial palace, for 15,000 taels..."

While eating, Xu Pingzhi intentionally or unintentionally talked about his acquaintance with Li Changan and the experience of buying a house today.

He noticed that his wife Li Ru and daughter Xu Lingyue had their eyes fixed on him.

Fifteen thousand taels, an astronomical figure.

"Fifteen thousand taels, if you don't eat or drink for seventy-five years, you can earn two hundred taels a year, and that gold-eating beast will eat up one hundred taels."

Li Ru muttered to herself, glancing out the door intentionally or unintentionally. A man in a constable's uniform passed by the door and walked into the small courtyard next door.

The constable of Changle County was none other than Xu Qian'an, but he was the Xu Qian'an before he traveled through time.

Xu Qian'an originally lived with Xu Pingzhi's family, but later had a conflict with his aunt, so he simply moved to the courtyard next door to live alone, cooking his own three meals a day.

At this moment, Xu Qian'an walked past his second uncle's house indifferently. He smelled the aroma of food wafting from it, and his stomach began to growl.

But the faintly heard words of "money-eating beast" deeply pierced Xu Qian'an's sensitive heart, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and grit his teeth.

"I, Xu Qian'an, would rather die! I would die outside! I would never eat a bite of your food!"

Because of their strong self-esteem and stubborn personalities, Xu Qian'an and Li Ru are at odds.

One of the most direct manifestations of Xu Qian'an's stubbornness is that for many years he has never paid any attention to his beautiful cousin, and his heart is full of resentment towards his mean aunt.

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't look down on the young and poor. You will regret it in the future, Li Ru!"

Every day when Xu Qian'an passed by his second uncle's house and felt Li Ru's gaze from inside the room, he would motivate himself in this way.

"The way of a martial artist is to accumulate knowledge and then develop it. I, Xu Qian'an, will definitely be able to excel one day! I must take back the dignity I have lost!"

Xu Pingzhi's family could not hear Xu Qian'an's rich inner drama. This is often the case in the world. No one may care about the joys and sorrows that you care about.

Li Ru looked away and once again expressed her envy for the lives of the rich. "A house worth fifteen thousand taels... I can't even imagine it."

Seeing the reactions of his wife and daughter, Xu Pingzhi continued to speak, "Lord Li wants to hire two maids from good families. The standard salary is five taels of silver per month..."

Hearing this, all six eyes except Little Pudding stared at Xu Pingzhi, with exactly the same expression as when Xu Pingzhi first heard Li Changan talk about this.

"I have confirmed this with Lord Li again and again. Lord Li said it is five taels, but the girl must be of clean family background, sensible and well-behaved, fair-skinned and pretty, and preferably literate."

"In fact, the requirements are not low when you put it this way."

Xu Xinnian sighed, "They are pretending to be cultured and learning the manners of the scholars in the academy, but the scholars only give their maids two or three taels of silver a month."

Xu Pingzhi continued, "Master Li is young and unmarried. The two maids I found may help him enjoy a happy life for the rest of his life."

Li Ru murmured, "Following the old man in the academy is a punishment, and following a young man may not be a good thing. Think about that young master Zhang..."

At this time, Xu Lingyue lowered her head and said, "This Lord Li is a real hero. People on the street are talking about him. He is not a playboy."

The usually taciturn Xu Lingyue suddenly said this. Li Ru looked at Xu Lingyue in surprise, "Men become bad when they have money!"

Xu Lingyue said, "Sixty taels of silver a year! Dad, Mom, I want to give it a try!"

Xu Pingzhi lowered his head to eat, Li Ru fell into deep thought, and little pudding Xu Lingyin chuckled, "I, I want to try it too!"

"Can you trust Lord Li's character?"

Li Ru looked at Xu Pingzhi, and Xu Pingzhi said, "I have met many great people. I think this person has a bright future. He looks righteous and is a good person!"

"Let me think about it again." Li Ru muttered and began to lose her focus.

Xu Pingzhi was a minor official of the seventh rank, so his daughter would not become a maid. However, some daughters from scholarly families would become maids for great scholars.

Li Changan is still very young. What if he bullies my daughter? He is a popular figure in Prince Yu’s Mansion.

But sixty taels of silver a year is not a small amount, and after working for a few years you can quit and then get married.

Two hours later.

After strengthening his body, Xu Qian'an lay down on the bed.

Xu Qian'an has a stubborn personality and likes to dwell on trivial matters. It is precisely because of this personality that he is able to strengthen his body day after day and lay a solid foundation in the way of martial arts.

That night, Xu Qian'an was lying on the bed, his two hands struggling fiercely.

This kind of thing happens almost every day. One cannot lose his virginity unless he breaks through the ninth rank of a warrior. But how can one resist the temptation at such a young age?

So, when the left hand wants to show off, the right hand will come out to teach it a lesson. The next time the right hand wants to show off, the left hand will stop it with righteous indignation.

After so many years, Xu Qien remained chaste and never showed off with her hands.

"Practice martial arts and you will have a golden house, practice martial arts and you will have a beautiful wife, practice martial arts and you will have a thousand bushels of grain!"

"Just bear with it! After these few years, when you have money, you will sleep with all the courtesans in the Jiaofang Bureau!"
