Since Jiu Niang had clearly stated her request earlier, and the granny broker had received Hu San's reminder, she didn't make things difficult for Jiu Niang. In less than four hours, she had already bought the house. The house was not big. There was a small yard and a small two-story house. It was not new and the owner was in a hurry to sell it. It was still within the range that Jiu Niang could accept. Of course, Nona was most satisfied with the fact that the house was not far from the county magistrate's office, facing the street. Although the wall did not meet Nona's requirements, she still gritted her teeth and slammed the door.

He thought to himself that the rebound would not be coming in anytime soon. Even if he had to repair the wall from a new start, it would be quick.

"Miss, don't worry. I'll send someone to deliver the contract to you after two days."

After giving them 20 taels of silver, they wrote down the contract and the granny broker accepted it happily. The deal was done and the rest was left for the contract to be completed. After that, they would pay the rest of the money and everything would be settled.

"Sorry for the trouble!"

Nodding, Nona was very satisfied and gave a tael of silver to the granny broker.

Speaking of these random things, it was inevitable that she would have to trouble the granny broker. It was fortunate that she had prepared some crushed silver. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to get some money out of her.

"Stupid, this young lady is too polite. If there's anything that needs your help in the future, just find me. This old woman will definitely take care of it for you."

After receiving the silver, the granny broker was so happy that she could barely see her teeth. It was all on Hu San's account that she accepted the business deal from the start.

Otherwise, this little girl would probably be worried that she was toying with him. She just didn't expect her to be so young, yet she was actually so reliable in things she did.

"I'll have to trouble you in the future." Nodding her head, Jiu Niang clearly understood that her words were due to her own money. "There's something I need to trouble you with. Looking at the old wall, I want to renovate it. I don't know if you know any reliable people."

Finding someone to repair the house was actually just a matter of having money.

However, Jiu Niang had her own thoughts. She and her grandmother, the old and the young, seemed to be increasingly unstable. She didn't want to personally step in. In case … If those people were careful and figured out the situation in their own homes, it would not be good if they came looking for trouble with him.

"Stupid, look at what you're saying. Just look for the Third Master of the Hu Clan on this matter." "There are a lot of people under the command of the Third Master of the Hu Clan who can do these things!"

The granny broker only smiled but didn't stop them and pushed the matter to Hu San.

Hu San nodded his head and a trace of a smile flashed in his eyes.

It could be seen that he was very satisfied with this granny broker.

In fact, although Hu San had a lot of people under his command and could do all sorts of random things, most of them were in the town. This was a city, so if this woman broker introduced them, he wouldn't be able to say anything. However, when the granny broker said this, she could be considered to have taken over a business for herself. Although the business was not big, he still remembered her.

"Eh? Really? "That's great. I'll have to trouble Master Hu San then."

When Nona heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.

If it was Hu San's group, they might even be in danger. It would be better to make some requests than to go to an outsider.

"It's up to you. "Didn't you ask me for two people? That twenty silver taels is not for nothing. Wang Er and Ma Zi are good at this. You can get them to help you. If you don't have enough people, come here and find two more."

Hu San was getting more and more curious about Jiu Niang. In all fairness, although she was young, her work was steady and she was very good at causing trouble. It could be said that he really wanted to befriend her. The most important thing is...

He always felt that there was a deeper meaning to this girl's actions, and he really wanted to know why.

"Look, this is going to happen over here …" Nona was squatting on the ground with a wooden stick in her hand. As she drew, she said, "The height of the wall is ten feet, and all of it needs to be brick walls."

Wang Er and Ma Zi listened attentively and could not help but frown. "Miss, isn't a meter too high?"

A meter was three meters tall, and if one were to use bricks all at once, it would be quite expensive. Most people would only be able to reach a height of two meters at most.

"No, you must be ten feet tall."

Under normal circumstances, this place was located at the center of the city and was not far from the yamen. It should be said that there was a guarantee of safety, but the current situation was different, so she had to be on guard; she was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Also, it's two meters away from me. We can build another layer of wall, so we won't need to go half a meter too high."

At the first layer of the wall, Jiu Niang still felt a little uneasy. If it really was a mess, no one could tell.

She had seen many movies and TV dramas that showed how people ate people.

"Dig deep into this wall." That's right, a deep ditch had to be dug between the two walls. There was still something useful to be said, but for the time being, Jiu Niang didn't intend to say it. It wouldn't be good if she scared them. Anyway, what he was doing now was just in case. If it really came in handy, it wouldn't be too late to talk about it then.

"Miss, this …"

"Alright, alright, just do as Jiu Niang says."

Wang Er and Ma Zizi were puzzled. How could this be a normal people's way of building a wall? Not only was it a waste of time, but it was also a waste of money to use so many bricks. They wanted to say something, but were cut off by Hu San before they could say anything.

"Alright, little girl, don't worry. I will definitely treat you well."

Compared to Wang Er and Ma Zi, Hu San's head spun much faster. With a single glance, he could tell that Jiu Niang was prepared. This way, he was even more certain that Jiu Niang had other uses for the house, but there were still so many people here, so he couldn't ask directly.

"Mm, thank you then." Nodding, Jiu Niang glanced at Hu San gratefully. There were a total of ten people present, so she couldn't say many things directly. Luckily, Hu San changed the topic. If she continued asking, she wouldn't know how to deal with it.

"It's nothing. If you have any other requests, just tell me. I'll supervise them for you."

Hu San wasn't an idiot. He could tell that Jiu Niang had other requests, but it was hard to say how many people she had right now.

Therefore, he decided to let Nona tell him that he would supervise them when the time came. If he couldn't let others find out, then he would use his own people.

Nona was not a fool, so she could tell that Hu San was using Fang'er to help her.

Of course she wouldn't decline. She originally wanted to ask Hu San for help, so his suggestion was naturally the best. She didn't want to think of a way to get him to help her.

"Mm, okay, then I'll tell you. It's getting late, I should go home."

Hu San followed her into the room. It looked like he wanted to hear what Nine Nun had to ask for, but in reality, it was the two of them who had something to say. Others might not understand, but Wang Er and Ma Zi naturally understood. Seeing this, they pulled the others and began to work, not wanting the two of them to be disturbed.

"Alright, let's start work."

"Right, right, we should start earlier and finish the work as soon as possible. It would be good for the payment."

Nona had opened up all the walls. How much money was not how much was a day, just finish it earlier and tie it earlier …

"Tsk tsk, little girl, how is this a wall attack? Are you trying to build a maze?!"

After entering the room and making sure that he couldn't hear anything outside, Hu San couldn't help but tease her. At the same time, he looked at her with a thoughtful expression. What was his background? Could a person not see through his eyes? Even in the past, their village did not have such a posture.

He had thoroughly investigated this girl and found that she was the only one in the group with the old widow. Was she trying to guard against someone?

"It's not a maze. I just want to protect myself."

Ninth Madame was not vague either. She naturally understood that this matter could not be hidden from Hu San, and she had no intention of hiding it.

In any case, she was only guessing. Whether others would believe it or not wasn't something she needed to consider.

"Self-defense?" Little girl, who did you offend? Don't tell me Ma San's family. If it was their family, you can rest assured. With me, Hu San, here, you wouldn't dare to act recklessly. "Your twenty taels of silver is not a waste of money, that's for sure."

She looked doubtfully at Jiu Niang. She had even said it out loud to protect herself. As a little girl, she couldn't carry her hands on her shoulders, so what could she possibly offend?

The only person Hu San could think of was Old Ma. However, Old Ma's family didn't need to fear anything as long as they had Wang Er and Ma Zi.

"No!" Nona rejected him bluntly. The words of Old Ma and Third's family were not worth it for her to make such a big fuss over.

"No?" What was that? From your posture, it seems that the people you've offended are of great origins. "

Not Old Ma's family? Third Master Hu was confused. Who else could it be other than Old Ma and his family? But looking at the cautious attitude of Ninth Niang, it seemed that this person really had quite the background.

Jiu Niang shook her head and a bitter smile rose at the corner of her mouth. She understood that she was afraid Hu San had misunderstood.

However …

Forget it, forget it. It was good to misunderstand. If he were to say it now, he might even be treated as a rumor.

"It's not that serious. I'm just getting ready." Since Hu San had his own thoughts, Jiu Niang didn't want to bring it up again. If he kept pursuing the matter, maybe she really would reveal something. Jiu Niang still explained her requirements, including how to open a few hidden backdoors.

"Tsk tsk, girl, you …" I really didn't expect that... "This way, your house can be considered to have another world."

Seeing the drawing by Jiu Niang, even the three of them couldn't help but praise her. Opening three back doors at a secluded location, she was almost as good as being a cunning rabbit. As long as she wasn't blocked in all directions, she would definitely be able to escape. One of the exits was actually directly facing the main gate of the yamen. As long as there was no disturbance, there would be no one left at the yamen. Presumably, no one would dare to cause trouble there.

"Hehe, I'm a little girl after all. Just treat it as me playing around." Jiu Niang shrugged and did not explain any further.

Although the wall was tall enough, and she would still have to do something between the two walls just in case, she had to leave some room for her escape.

"Tsk tsk, look at your request. I need to think about whether my home will be improved as well."

Staring at Jiu Niang's drawing, Hu San rubbed his chin and wondered if he should change his family. After all, if he were to offend someone, he would definitely offend more than this girl. Even this girl was worried that something might happen to them.

"Alright, then you should go to the city and buy a house. There are many people in the city, even if there are to be any accidents, it would be safe."

Nona said so very casually. If something really happened, once the city gates were closed, no one could imagine how chaotic it would be outside. It was safer in the city. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but consider reminding Xu Tianshong as well …
