It was only the abacus of Zhang Chen that was clattering; who knew plans couldn't keep up with changes. Before he could even handle the mansion transfer, a loud knocking echoed at the front door: "Open up! Quick, open up!"
The knocking was extremely noisy, with torches blazing outside. Dozens of people stood outside, clamoring in a hubbub.
Zhang Chen was stunned upon hearing the shouting outside and turned his head to look at Fox Fairy Nannan. Fox Fairy Nannan was equally bewildered, clueless as to why someone came knocking.
"Is anyone inside? If you don't come out, I'll set this courtyard on fire! We've already checked the government documents today, and we know a buyer has acquired this mansion. We're here to collect taxes today. If you won't open the door, don't blame me for setting this mansion ablaze," came the shouting from outside.
