"Ji'er, for my father, I told you that Brother Wu Xian is a rare good person......"

Kou Li didn't notice Kou Ji's mood change at all, he was still talking about that Wu Xian brother somewhere.

Kou Ji didn't want to continue listening, he interrupted Kou Li's words and asked, "So you owe a gambling debt, so you stole your grandfather's rhino belt and sold it?" ”

Kou Li was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There is no sale, my father just pledged the rhino belt to the pawnbroker, and it is still a live pawn, as long as you make up enough money, you can redeem it." ”

"Lived? Can you have a pawn ticket? ”

"There are ......"

Kou Li fumbled around his body, took out a pawn ticket, and handed it to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji took the pawn ticket and took a closer look, it was written.

'A rhino belt, worth a thousand guan, the price is four hundred, pawned in the pawnshop in the east, for a period of ten years. ’

This is a live pawn ticket.

Pawnshop pawn objects are generally divided into two types.

One is alive and the other is dead.

A living pawn is equivalent to a temporary mortgage to a pawnshop, and a dead pawn is equivalent to selling it to a pawnshop.

The former can be redeemed after expiration, but the latter cannot be redeemed, which is a one-shot deal.

It's just that this dangdang ticket in Kou Li's hand obviously has this loophole.

First, the word rhino belt is a bit general, rhinoceros breeds are different, the skin produced is also different, and the value of different parts of the rhinoceros is also different.

The most expensive rhino belt can be worth about 100,000 yuan.

The cheapest rhino belt is worth less than 100 yuan.

Judging from Kou Zhun's attitude towards their father and son, the rhino belt that Kou Li pawned was not an ordinary rhino belt.

The pawn shop only used the word rhino belt to blur the past.

If Kou Li took the money to redeem it, he might not be able to get the original rhino belt.

At this point, Kouli was deceived.

Second, the pawn note stipulates the time limit for redemption, but does not specify the amount of money to be paid for redemption.

Although the pawnshop has the rules of the pawnshop, it is not indicated on the pawn ticket, and if people cheat, Kou Li will have nothing to do with them.

Even if you sue the government yamen, it will be difficult to win the lawsuit.

Kou Ji took the pawn ticket and said to Kou Li helplessly: "Dad, you ......"

With such an obvious loophole, Kou Ji didn't believe that Kou Li couldn't see it.

When Kou Li heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Ji'er, don't worry, there is Brother Wu Xian in the middle of this matter, and there is no mistake." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and let out a long sigh.

Someone can guarantee it, so naturally the process can be simplified.

But what if the guarantor turns against him in the end?

This matter is really as simple as Kou Li said, Wang Shu is a third-grade master, why not open his mouth to say that even if he comes forward, he may not be able to handle this matter.

Before, Kou Ji was only suspicious of Wu Xiandi in Kou Li's mouth, but now Kou Ji can almost conclude that there is something wrong with Wu Xiandi in Kou Li's mouth.

That Wu Xian brother didn't know what means he used, and he was very convinced of Kou Li.

Even if Kou Ji told Kou Li that there was something wrong with that Wu Xian brother, Kou Li might not believe it.

He silently put away the pawn ticket and continued to ask: "Dad, I don't know who your surname is and what your identity is as Brother Wu Xian?" ”

Kou Li said: "Brother Wu Xian is now the same as his father, he is a scholar in Taixue, and his name is Wu Ming. His elder brother, Wu Xian, is the servant of the Imperial History Terrace. ”

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.

The history of serving the emperor, the official residence from the six products.

Compared with the imperial history, the imperial history doctor, and the imperial history Zhongcheng, it is slightly inferior.

But that is also a noble official, and he can be regarded as the kind of person who can speak in the court.

In terms of the right to speak, it is a few points more than those who are sent out to the third and fourth grades.

Kou Ji silently wrote down these two names, and then asked, "Dad, which gambling house did you go to play money with?" ”

"Purple Gas Casino!"

"Purple Casino?"

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched and asked, "Purple Qi Gambling House, Donglai Pawn Shop, are they on the same street?" ”

Kou Li said as a matter of course: "The Purple Qi Gambling House is next door to the Donglai Pawnshop. It is said that at that time, the owner of the pawnshop in Donglai, when he named the pawnshop, saw the purple gas gambling house next door, and on a whim, he named the pawnshop Donglai. The meaning of taking the purple qi from the east is to make his business as prosperous as the purple qi gambling house. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji didn't know what to say.

Because from Kou Li's words, Kou Ji judged that Kou Li was probably not just deceived by others.

It's quite possible that it's a game from start to finish.

A bureau for Kouli.

Of course, this game is set on Kou Li, but the people behind it are definitely not planning Kou Li.

With Kou Li's status, it is not enough for the family to set up a situation against him.

The person behind it, the one who really wants to plan, must be Kou Zhun.

And the Wu Xiandi in Kou Li's mouth must be a key figure in the bureau.

From Kou Li making friends in Taixue, to being taken out of Willow Alley like fireworks, entering the gambling house to make a fortune, and then to being in debt and stealing rhino belts to sell, all of the above have the shadow of that Wu Xiandi.

Since people are calculating, then the beginning and the end must be dealt with cleanly.

Kou Ji wants to deal with this matter, but I'm afraid it won't be easy.

Kou Ji thought about countermeasures in his mind, and asked again: "Dad, do you know what is special about grandfather's rhino belt?" ”

Kou Li tilted his head, thought about it carefully, and said, "Father remembers that your grandfather said that the rhino belt was rewarded by Taizong, and it was made of the skin and horns of the rhinoceros that reached the sky......"

Kou Li looked at Kou Ji and wondered, "What's wrong?" What does this do, you ask? ”

Kou Ji had a calculation in his heart, and casually coped, "It's nothing ......"

Kou Ji chatted with Kou Li for a few more words, and then made an excuse and left the ancestral hall.

Out of the ancestral hall door.

Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief and nodded at Erbao, who was looking at him with a blank eye.

turned to Kou Zhong who was waiting on the side and said, "Help me get the money, I'm going to leave the house." ”

Kou Zhong bowed down and said, "Back to the little young master, the money that my uncle promised you has been prepared, and the chief of the account office is already waiting at the gate of the mansion with the money." ”

Kou Ji nodded and took Erbao to the gate of the mansion.

When I walked to the gate of the house, I saw a stout man standing at the door with a huge coat on his back.

The man was wearing a family's dress, and the jacket on the front and back of his chest was bulging, and his shoulders were a little short.

In this era when copper coins are the mainstream currency.

Twenty copper coins, close to 20,000 Wen, weighed about 20 catties, and carried them heavily.

Twenty catties of copper coins are pressed on Erbao's body, and Erbao is estimated to be able to be pressed to walk bent over.

If Kou Ji took it, he would probably be bent over.

No wonder the bookkeeper sent a long entourage to follow.
