Chapter 80 Accidental Leakage
got the white deed of Guan Damiang's guarantee, Li Qing and Mrs. Zhang went to the county government to set up a red deed together, Guan Damiang promised Li Qing not to say this, Li Qing was still more relieved.
In fact, Bai Qi can already reach a deal, but Li Qing thinks it is better to pass the official. The punishment for tax evasion in the Tianqi Dynasty is very heavy, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be beaten to death.
Then this pit father's tax system took away Li Qing's tax of ten taels of silver.
It's so angry, the government collects property tax.
Li Qing spent two hundred and forty taels to buy a small house, but from this she also learned about the current housing prices. I heard that the price of houses in Shangjing has reached sky-high prices, and the population of Shangjing has skyrocketed due to the system of free movement.
If you want to settle down in Shangjing and own your own property, you don't want to live in a cottage without a thousand taels of silver. The independent yard even fetched a high price of five or six thousand taels. Many people live in rented houses and can't afford to buy them.
Wait, a lot of people can't afford to buy a house? Li Qing's eyes lit up in an instant, and there was a business opportunity.
But for now, I'd better stay in a small place honestly. If you don't save enough capital, you can't make the next plan.
Li Qing carried the key and temporarily hired a few people to help clean the house, which should be repaired. The shop needs to be renovated before it can be used.
"Employer's wife, you see that this place is almost cleaned, is there anything else that needs to be cleaned?" A woman approached with a blackened rag and asked.
"Find someone to go to the well and fish for me, and bring me anything unclean."
Li Qing saw that the water was dark because of the lack of light, and a sense of insecurity suddenly arose. At that time, she thought that if she bought this house, she would have to clean the well. Something unclean got into the stomach, and it was terrible.
This rat hole...... I'm going to have to buy two cats. Forget it's too expensive to buy cats, so let's go to the village and ask for two.
Li Qing adheres to the principle of saving if it can be saved.
"Look, what is this?"
A man in a coarse cloth shirt hooked out of the well a sealed iron box with a buckle on it, and the hook was hooked to it.
"Employer's wife, what do you see here?"
Without Li Qing's permission, they didn't dare to mess with the box.
Li Qing said: "Keep fishing, this thing will be left here, you continue." Li Qing glanced at the iron box, knocked it with a stick, and there was a muffled sound inside.
There is something.
It can't be any gold bar, right?
Li Qing made a bold guess.
"Employer's wife, the water in this well is already muddy, and there should be nothing down there." The salvaged guy replied.
"Okay, you can do whatever you have to do, and you will be paid a lot." Li Qing nodded back.
"Okay."
Two hundred and forty taels of silver bought an empty house, and the previous owner left nothing, so the whole thing was done quickly. The sun had not yet gone west, and the whole house was cleaned up.
Li Qing gave each person fifty copper coins, and after watching everyone leave, Li Qing turned around and went to the inner courtyard. The whole house is in the shape of a quadrangle, Li Qing has three of them, and the last one is a wall made of stone bricks.
She picked up her stick and scraped the dirt from the box, and wiped the iron box from a rag in her bag.
This thing was very tightly sealed, and Li Qing searched for a long time but couldn't find the opening.
Well, don't think I can't do anything about you if you don't show your mouth. Li Qing covered the cloth on the box, and when he reached out and pressed it, the box was squeezed and deformed, and a sunken hole appeared.
She took advantage of the situation, and a crack cracked in the hard shell of the iron box.
Thank God again for giving her the Infinite Power buff.
Following this crack, Li Qing picked up the tiles on the ground and broke the iron box at once.
This thing has been soaked in water for a long time, and it is also a little rotten, Li Qing didn't dare to touch it without protection in his hands, and his hands were full of iron slag.
Inside is a mud-wrapped wooden box. After smashing the mud, I weighed the box with my hands, and it didn't feel very light.
Li Qing opened the box, which contained a set of jewelry, which was visually made of gold and inlaid with eastern pearls. The workmanship is fine and the value is very high.
If you look closely, there are several pieces of paper pressed underneath the jewelry. Li Qing pulled out the paper and saw the words on it.
This is a deed to Beijing, Li Qing suppressed the shock in his heart, picked up the other papers and looked at it.
〣(?? Δ??) 〣
That's a big deal.
The other few pieces of paper are a letter with an annual bloody love story.
It turns out that there is more than one previous owner of this house, and there was one before it, and that was the first owner of this house. And this iron box was left by the first owner.
The first owner was a young and beautiful woman, but she died at the age of her prime.
It's nothing more than a childhood sweetheart, two little guesses, you go to the fame test, I'm waiting for you to come back at home.
As a result, the man never returned, and when he got the news again, he remarried, and moved her as his wife, and he wanted to respect his remarried wife.
The woman couldn't stand the blow, but she loved the man.
So she sealed the man's apology into a box and threw it into the well, and died with the man and his new wife.
What a fierce woman.
Scumbag, just damn it.
The letter said that the property was quietly bought to her by the man, that is...... Hey, hey, hey.
It is a fool not to take advantage of it.
Looks like we'll have to find a time to put it away.
Li Qing put the things in his bag, dug a hole in the iron box, swept the ground, and went out to lock the gate.
In less than two hours, it will be dark, so take advantage of this time to shop and go back when it is completely dark.
Li Qing was about to enjoy some food, but was caught by Li Youliang.
"Qing'er." Li Youliang shouted.
Li Qing was going to ignore him, but he kept blocking his way. "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, it's just rare to see you, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you haven't changed at all."
Li Qing looked up and bumped into Li Youliang's big stubble and hung up.
Yo, is this a trip to an ethnic minority?
Skimming the smile in Li Qing's eyes, Li Youliang thought that Li Qing was in a good mood now, so he said, "Do you accompany your mother-in-law to sell embroidery today?" ”
"What does it have to do with you?"
Today, Li Youliang has no outsiders around him, so Li Qing naturally won't give him a good look. The past is vivid, how can Li Youliang be able to leave it all aside?
Li Youliang subconsciously took a step back, but after a few years, Li Qing became more and more fierce, all of which he learned from his mother-in-law Jiang, who was out of tune.
What an obedient person he used to be!
"Is there anything else? If it's okay, let me go. "Li Qing doesn't want to see this person at all, the original owner and her are blood relatives, but she is not! Although he has inherited the cause and effect, he can't lose his blood, but for those who have hurt him, do you still have to give a good face?
She's human, too.
"No, it's okay, if you're alone, let's go sit in the wine shop." Li Youliang slurred.
"What the hell are you trying to do?"
