Chapter 64: There is deception in the murmur
(Thanks to book friend Shi Qianhe and book friend Su Zixuan for another 500 coin reward~)
"Wait a minute. When I present the deed to my little uncle, the deal will be settled. ”
Hou Lai nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Chang Gui turned around and went to find the little uncle Chang Feng.
At this moment, Chang Feng was practicing archery in the yard, and Chang Gui walked in and said respectfully: "Brother Feng, Hou Xianggong wants to sell the thirty acres of paddy fields adjacent to our Zhuangzi for twenty-five taels and one acres, and the price is real." The old servant dared to return to the master, so he asked him to write the deed. Brother Feng, do you want to take a look? ”
Chang Feng grew up watching Chang Gui, and the two had a deep relationship. Therefore, Chang Gui calls it by the name of the milk, rather than by the name of the young master, the little uncle and the like.
Chang Feng obviously enjoyed this title very much, he put down the horn bow, leaned over and said, "Hou Xiucai? Is he finally willing to sell his land? Didn't Uncle Gui say that this guy wouldn't sell it? ”
Chang Gui said with a smile: "I heard that one of his relatives made a fortune in Jingzhou, and he was in a hurry to go to Jingzhou to defect." The uncultivated 30 acres of paddy fields became a drag, and he was in a hurry to make a move. ”
Chang Feng nodded. This reason is very reasonable, and it is also in line with Hou Xiucai's temperament. This guy belongs to the type that will die if you don't take advantage. If it weren't for the greater benefits, he would never give up the thirty acres of paddy fields easily.
"That's a good thing. After our family bought these 30 acres of paddy fields, we no longer have to worry about the canal being cut off. ”
After that, Chang Feng took the deed and read it very seriously.
"Well, this deed is clearly written and clear. Uncle Gui's work is safe. ”
"Brother Feng, the old servant asked Prime Minister Hou to take the silver away?"
"Take it, take it. A total of seven hundred and fifty taels of silver, look at the uncle scared. You are also an old man in the house, can't you do this thing? Besides, the deed has already been signed, and you are afraid that he will regret it? After a while, when your uncle was not busy, he went to the county office to pay the deed tax and stamped the county seal. ”
Chang Feng trusts the old housekeeper very much, and he can't wait to hand over everything to Chang Gui.
"Well, the old servant will tell him now."
Chang Gui returned to the hall and cleared his throat and said, "My little uncle has already approved this deal." Congratulations to Prime Minister Hou, the seven hundred and fifty taels of silver are yours. ”
"Hehe, I can't move back alone with this too much silver, why don't you borrow a carriage for me?"
Chang Gui thought for a moment, and then helped people to the end, and sent the Buddha to the west and said in a deep voice: "Come on, prepare an empty carriage, load the silver, and send it to the house of the prime minister." ”
Hou Lai hugged his fists proudly and said, "So Hou will leave." ”
......
......
However, it was said that the subordinates of the Changfu drove the silver to Hou Lai's house and drove away.
Hou Lai saw that the people from Changfu had indeed walked away, and looked around cautiously, then walked into the inner courtyard, cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Chu can come out." ”
After that, a middle-aged man in a dark blue burqa walked out of the room, and it was Chu Wanglun, the most trusted staff member of the King of Liao.
"Mr. Chu is really like a god, the people of the Earl's Mansion coveted this thirty acres of paddy field for a long time, and they bought thirty acres of land without hesitation."
"Well, the upper plot is attacking. Knowing what the other person wants most can cause you to take the bait. ”
Chu Wanglun stroked the short hair on his chin, and said with a slight smile: "I will ask someone to transport this silver overnight, so I will put it there first, so as not to leave evidence." ”
Hou Lai had some beads of sweat on his nose, took a deep breath and said, "This is naturally no problem." But in case the people of the Earl's Court really come to collect the land in a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist it. ”
"What are you afraid of, the ink that wrote the deed was carefully prepared by me, and it will disappear in a day. Did the people of his Changfu rely on a blank piece of paper to grab the fields? ”
Chu Wanglun was slightly displeased.
"Mr. Chu misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
Hou Lai sighed and said: "It's just that Wu Changbo's status is there, and he really wants to make trouble with the government, I'm worried that the government will favor Wu Changbo." ”
"You just have to bite the rice field and don't sell it. His Chang family doesn't have a contract to collect the land, what is it if it's not a robbery? You have a reason for this matter, why did you make a mistake first? ”
Hou Lailian claimed to be.
"The more violent he is in the house, the faster he will die. I'm not afraid that he will make trouble at home, but I am afraid that he will not make trouble. You don't have to worry about the rest, I'll take care of the rest. ”
Chu Wanglun closed his eyes and wandered for a while, and then continued to order: "According to what I taught you, don't say a word more." When it is done, I will give you five hundred taels in addition to the seven hundred and fifty taels of silver. ”
Hou Lai's eyes shone into golden light when he heard this.
He only made a thousand taels of silver with a lot of effort, and this transaction was really a good deal.
The most important thing is that the thirty acres of land are still his, and the Chang family can only eat deflated.
Haha, comfortable, so fucking comfortable.
The corners of Chu Wanglun's mouth were filled with coldness.
What about Wu Changbo, he hasn't been toyed with by him.
......
......
Three days later, more than a dozen servants from the Chang family Zhuangzi came, intending to take over the paddy fields sold by Hou Lai.
But as soon as they entered Hou's house, they saw Hou Lai scolding and rushing out.
"What are you doing? What do more than a dozen people want to do when they trespass on people's houses? ”
More than a dozen servants of the Chang family looked confused, Hou Xiucai wouldn't be stupid, he just sold the paddy field and forgot about it?
"Hou Xianggong, we are here to harvest the fields. Aren't you going to Jingzhou in a hurry, why don't you leave? ”
"Fart, collect a fart field, this paddy field belongs to Lao Tzu, why do you collect it? Also, Lao Tzu stayed well in Wuchang, why did he go to Jingzhou? ”
Belch......
The servants of the Chang family looked at each other, and said in their hearts what the hell is going on.
"Get out of my house, or I'll report to the police!"
Seeing Hou Lai's gritted teeth, more than a dozen servants of the Chang family didn't dare to mess around, so they had to temporarily retreat and go back to Zhuangzi to report to the steward Chang Gui.
Chang Gui was also shocked when he heard the servant's report.
"What did you say, Hou Xiucai didn't let you take over the paddy fields? How unreasonable! He has made a note, does he still want to deny it in black and white? ”
Chang Gui flicked his sleeves and said, "Go get the deed, it seems that I have to go to the yamen to ask the county lord to comment on the theory." ”
Immediately, a domestic servant went to get the deed and respectfully handed it to Chang Gui.
Chang Gui subconsciously unfolded and took a look, it didn't matter if he looked at it, Chang Gui's jaw was about to fall off.
"This ...... Why is there not a word on this deed? ”
Chang Gui shook three times, and if it weren't for a servant's quick hand to step forward to support him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"On that day, I saw that he had made a deed in black and white, why did it become a blank piece of paper after three days? No, help me find Brother Feng. ”
......
