Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space
Chapter 147:
A Man
A few days ago, someone suddenly arrived, claiming that a particular plot of land in Lihua Village had exceptionally thriving crops, surpassing all other fields. This area was believed to be a Feng Shui treasure.
After several waves of Lord Xiang's men inspected and were satisfied, they sent them to negotiate with the owners of the land, urging them to sell it. However, the family, including Murong Lingran, ignored them yesterday. Lord Xiang had explicitly instructed them to acquire that piece of land, leading to the recent confrontation.
"Negotiate?" Murong Lingran sneered, "Sending a dozen strong men to 'negotiate' with us? If my big brother and the villagers didn't resist you, you might have already taken the land. Isn't that right?"

The trembling man knelt on the ground, "I'm sorry, but this was my own idea. It has nothing to do with my young master. He only gave me a hundred taels of silver to buy the girl's land. I got greedy and took eighty taels. Please, calm down, miss, sir, calm down."
Murong Lingran raised an eyebrow; they had taken advantage of them with a hundred taels and kept eighty? They truly treated them like beggars.
Helian Rongjiu turned his gaze to Commander Yao and coldly remarked, "Prince Qi's teachings are remarkable, taking people away without discerning right from wrong. Seems like the law means nothing to you?"
"Apologies, sir. This has nothing to do with Prince Qi. Please don't implicate him."
"Oh? How so?"
Commander Yao knew there was no escape this time, looking resigned, "It's just that I saw an opportunity for profit due to my acquaintance with Lin Da from the Xiang residence. He suffered a loss yesterday but didn't dare seek justice from Young Master Xiang directly. He privately approached me, promising to handle this matter. We agreed to split the remaining eighty taels."
He then glanced at the big man, evidently Lin Da.
Originally, it seemed like an ordinary task; after all, he had helped Lin Da with many such matters before, and it always went smoothly. Unexpectedly, it had backfired this time.
Murong Lingran looked at Lin Da, "You say someone came to you mentioning our land. Who was that person?"
Lin Da honestly replied, "That person had his face covered and handed a note describing your land to the gatekeeper before fleeing. We don't know who he is."
Seeing Murong Lingran frown, Lin Da hurriedly added, "The gatekeeper said he seemed like a man."
"Was he fat or thin?"
"Thin."
"How tall?"
"Similar to that young master." Lin Da pointed to Murong Xuan.
"What about the note? Is it still with you?"
Shaking his head, Lin Da replied, "No, our young master has a habit of burning notes and such after reading them. It's probably turned to ashes by now."
With no more questions to ask, Helian Rongjiu said, "Ze Yuan, take them all to Prince Qi. Let him deal with it himself."
"Yes."
After Commander Yao, Lin Da, and their entourage were taken away, Helian Rongjiu turned and said, "You've been through a shock."
Seeing two strangers behind Murong Zhe, Helian Rongjiu raised an eyebrow, "Are these your older brothers?"
"Yes."
Murong Zhe quickly bowed, "Thank you, Ninth Young Master, for saving us."
The Murong brothers followed suit, "Thank you, Ninth Young Master, for saving us."
