Wang Ji indeed had some connections in Vermilion Bird Imperial City, and with the help of a broker, he and Chu Feng signed a new property deed. Naturally, the name of the property owner was changed to Chu Feng.
This was only the first step, as this property deed was not recognized by the government.
Wang Ji took Chu Feng to the government office managing that area in the Imperial City, where Chu Feng paid the deed tax and various additional taxes, then sent it to the Capital Governor to be stamped with the Big Seal. The process went smoothly, and the taxes were reasonable.
It was just the various additional taxes that caused Chu Feng some distress.
Altogether, they amounted to over 30,000 taels of Silver. He could only pinch his nose and accept it.
Fortunately, the price of the Evil House was cheap, otherwise just the deed tax and additional taxes would have been enough to flatten one's purse.
