Chapter 52: Wu Caishui Loses His Wealth (Part II)
"And what about later? Boss Wu? Xing'er asked.
Xing'er's text is about Wu Caishui going to help others look at the baby, how he accidentally injured someone else's baby.
Later, when the person next to me said that I broke the thing, I was dumbfounded, and I had the impression that I was obviously hugging it. Hey......" said Wu Caishui's fist and slammed it into the palm of his other hand.
"But there is no place to sell regret medicine, I just waited for the owner of the stone to fall, but the owner of the stone insisted that his stone was a heavenly stone, a heavenly stone that could not be seen for hundreds of years, and it was priceless.
"In the end, people said that I should pay for it, and they also offered a sky-high price."
"How much?" Wang Ji'an asked.
Wu Caishui stretched out a slap.
"Five thousand taels?" Wang Ji'an asked, Wu Caishui shook his head.
"Good girl, isn't it fifty thousand taels?" Jing Jin guessed.
Wu Caishui shook his head again, with a sad face.
"Five hundred thousand taels?" Wang Zhen'er almost shouted.
Wu Caishui nodded, everyone was in disbelief, and they all opened their mouths in shock.
"These 500,000 taels can catch up with a county's tax revenue for a year. Boss Wu, you are blackmailing people! Jing Jin said bluntly.
"Hey!" Wu Caishui beat his chest. "Who told the villain to get involved in this, there is no way."
"Then you're going to give the store to someone?" Wang Ji'an asked.
"yes."
"But, Boss Wu, can your store be worth 500,000?" Wang Zhen'er stood up and looked at the shop inside and out, full of questions.
"That man didn't follow it originally, and asked the villain to give another silver tael, but later, someone said something in his ear, and he agreed, hey, what a disaster fell from the sky."
"Wait, wait, Boss Wu, you're evil in this matter." Jing Xuan said.
"Who's to say it's not, but what's the solution? It's just my own fault, if I don't go, I won't have this thing. Wu Caishui stomped his feet again.
"Boss Wu, I'm small, I may not be right to speak, I feel that you just don't want to join in this excitement, this excitement will definitely come to you, the most important thing is the person who taught you to go." Xing'er said.
Wu Caishui went into the house for empowerment, and suddenly thought of something, and slapped his head.
"What Miss said is yes, that old brother, I haven't seen it since I had an accident! Ah! Wu Caishui stomped around in the room.
"So, Boss Wu, your top priority is to go to Shuntianfu to report the case quickly, and second, to find that person. And put away your treasure, title deed, and house deed first! There is also the ledger on the cabinet, which is one of the most favorable evidence for you. Xing'er said it in a row.
The second prince, Jing Xuan, couldn't help but look sideways at Xing'er, is this girl really only nine years old? Jing Xuan thought to herself, seeing her talk about these things, her head is the way, don't you really know how she can be so clear? But the imperial grandmother probably won't teach her this, right?
"Wait, Boss Wu, did you sign any agreement with the other party? And where are the broken pieces? Xing'er thought of something again.
"There is no agreement yet. It was all broken, so I threw it on the spot, and I left. ”
"Boss Wu, I said you listen, I'm young, if you think what I say is wrong, you don't have to listen." Xing'er said, and everyone looked at her.
"Miss, please speak, if there is salvation at this time, I am willing to listen to anything."
"Good. If you think it's feasible, go first, get your title deed, and go to the official uniform to cry out for grievances. ”
"Shouting grievances? Sue the owner of the broken stone? ”
"Nope! Find out the inconsistencies between your shop and the title deed, and tell the person who sold your house, saying that the property he sold your property does not match the contract approved by the government, and ask the government to verify it anew, and hand over the title deed, if nothing else, your shop will be temporarily closed by the government for three to six months. ”
"Girl, is this true?"
Xing'er nodded and continued; "And then you tell us where you were yesterday? Let's look for clues. If you can find it, it would be great, and if you can't find it, three to six months, the real purpose of that person should be revealed. ”
"How?"
"One, if that broken thing really fell over the country as he said, he would be able to afford to wait. Second, if they ask you for money and want to do something hastily, it means that they are blackmailing, and you can report to the official generously, and set a trap to ensure that one is caught. Third, it's best to find that old man, he's very important, it's best that he just took other people's money, if people are a group at all, then it depends on the government. ”
"Oops! Girl, your words simply made Wu Moumao pause. ”
Wu Caishui couldn't help but look this little girl up and down, he didn't believe that these words came out of Xing'er's mouth at all, and he simply admired the five bodies to the ground.
"Wu Caishui, then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell us where the incident happened, and what the old man looks like, the master will help you find it, you fool, hurry up to the government to report the case, just according to what Miss Xing'er said. ”
Wu Caishui nodded again and again, and immediately told them where the incident happened, and roughly described the old man's appearance, Wang Zhen'er is good at painting, and Wu Caishui said that she sketched the other party's appearance over and over again. When he showed it to Wu Caishui, Wu Caishui was simply surprised, it was too similar.
Then he took the house deed and other things, and went straight to the government to report the case, not mentioning it for the time being.
Shan Ti Xing'er and a group of five people and five soldiers were divided into two roads, Wang Ji'an and Jing Jiao Xing'er went in groups of three to find clues, Jingxuan Wang Zhen'er and a few small servants, and went door to door to inquire about people and compare people.
Everyone met at the right time, gathered in Wu Caishui's shop, and met the owner together.
Xing'er rushed to the place to see the treasure all the way, which is the inner canal of the moat to divert water, not the big river channel that can pass through the boat at Chaoyangmen Wharf, but a small channel, which is only used by the people for daily scrubbing, sprinkling and sweeping.
The place where the incident happened happened to be a square platform by the canal, surrounded by a white marble fence, with a stone table and stone bench in the middle.
A few people went down to the platform and searched carefully, the platform had already been cleaned, how could there be clues left.
Wang Ji'an looked for it, didn't see anything, was a little depressed, and sat on the stone bench.
"How do you find this, it's such a slippery place, it's clear at a glance, look, there's nothing." Wang Ji'an was discouraged.
"Eh, why do you sit down, get up and get to work." Jing Jin kicked him in the foot.
"I quit, and the cat didn't look for it for a long time."
"Brother Ji'an, you don't have any patience at all to do things." Xing'er pouted at him.
"What? What do you call me? Wang Ji'an came to the spirit, and almost jumped to Xing'er, "Well, I listened to Xing'er's sister, look for it, continue to look for it." ”
Jing Yao was speechless when he saw his virtue, shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to work.
After nearly an hour, at last, the hard work paid off, and several people found two identical pieces on the inside of the stone bench and the outside of the white jade railing on the side of the canal, both of which were yellow, and also found new scratches on the outward white jade railing, as if they had been scratched by blunt objects such as jade pottery shards, as if those pieces had been thrown into the river from here after the incident.
"Sister Xing'er, let's count these clues." Wang Ji'an is like Xing'er, and he has become the backbone.
"I'm not a master at solving cases, let's just find some clues to help Boss Wu better analyze the possibility of being deceived."
"What Xing'er said is that for specific things, we still have to invite people from the government to come, but we have already done a great job." Jing Yao smiled and rubbed Xing'er's hair.
Rubbing Xing'er's hair This is a habit that the Jingjiao brothers have developed since Xing'er was a child, because Xing'er was a little mushroom head at that time, except for the second prince and the sixth prince, one was not very close, and the other was riddled with illness, and later Xing'er was punished, and he didn't dare to get too close to the prince.
"Third Highness, how can you rub my Xing'er's sister's hair casually? Do you know that the parents of the body are not intimate with men and women? Wang Ji'an immediately pulled Jing Jin's hand down.
Jing Jiao was so troubled by him that he couldn't cry or laugh. The hand froze in mid-air, and had to be retracted. Xing'er didn't make a sound, and she only felt funny, as if she had known the third prince for a long time, this Wang Ji'an......
After getting these clues, the three of them went back to Boss Wu's shop together. I happened to meet Jing Xuan and Wang Zhen'er at the door of the store, and they also came back.
"Second brother, how are you doing over there? We ......"
"Third brother, you must have found good wine, let's go back to the house and talk back to the house." Before Jing Jin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jing Xuan and pushed him into the house.
Everyone entered the inner hall of Boss Wu's "Reading Ancient Zhai".
"Third brother, you don't lose your body secretly."
"I see, it's still the second brother's thoughtfulness." Saying that, Jing Yu made a gesture towards Jing Xuan.
"Okay, our brothers, what are you going to do with all these nonsense, let's talk about your progress." Jing Xuan sat in a chair and picked up a bowl of tea.
"We found these two pieces here, and we will wait for Boss Wu to come back and let him recognize them." Jing Jin opened the cloth bag in his sleeve.
"In addition, we also found new wounds on the white jade railing where the treasure was displayed, and we judged that these guys threw the debris directly into the canal below. Look at this piece of fragment was found on the digging side of the white jade railing, and it is estimated that they accidentally dropped it when they were dealing with it. Wang Ji'an said their judgment.
"What about your second brother?"
"There's been little progress on our side." Wang Zhen'er was a little lost.
"That's not all there was to it. We took the portrait of the old man and asked the whole street, and almost no one knew the old man, but some people said that the old man might be a wandering merchant. ”
"Wandering merchants?" Several people looked at Jing Xuan in unison.
"That's right! Traveling Merchants! In the antique industry, the fixed stores must be large merchants, and these stores are difficult to buy and sell. And the person who digs out the treasure, or gets the treasure, is not necessarily, you look outside. Jing Xuan pointed to the stall downstairs.
"A lot of people come here with one or two things in their pockets to sell them in bulk and try their luck, these people are not fixed, they sell and leave. With a new baby, come and sell it again. ”
A few people looked down from the second floor, and there were indeed some stalls below that belonged to one person, or three or two people, and they were all stalls on the ground.
"Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"Not necessarily!" I saw Wu Caishui running upstairs happily.
