Chapter 63: Undercurrent
"Okay! However, in addition to signing a pawn agreement, you also need to sign a statement of responsibility before trading! ”
"Statement of responsibility?" Wang Xiucai raised his eyebrows, and his heart became nervous again.
Mo Lao explained: "This is the rule of our pawnshop! All customers who pawn items worth more than 50 taels must sign this statement of responsibility! ”
"The purpose of the statement is to prevent some customers from coming to our store with illegally obtained items! If the customer signs this voice, the pawnbroker will bear all the lawsuits involved in the pawn! At the same time, we also have the right to recover the money paid for the pawn! ”
As he spoke, Mo Lao looked at Wang Xiucai with a somewhat uncertain expression.
"If you do have any difficulties, you can also do it!"
Seeing that Mo Lao's eyes gradually showed suspicion, Wang Xiucai's body trembled and resolutely agreed: "The origin of this bead is absolutely clean!" Of course I did! ”
"Good!"
Mo Lao waved his hand behind him, and the pitch-black wall behind him suddenly opened, and a money bag and two so-called contract statements flew into Mo Lao's hands.
Seeing Mo Lao's method of telepathy again, Wang Xiucai suddenly felt a little worried and scared.
Because he lied, if he let the old man in front of him know, with his strength, he still has a chance to live?
Looks like I'm going to leave the city as soon as I get the money!
Five hundred taels of silver is enough for me to go to another country, change my name and surname, and have no worries about food and clothing!
When the time comes, we will continue to carry out scientific research with a makeover! When I go back to Hua'an County on the day of high school, who else dares to trouble me!
With a plan in mind, Wang Xiucai looked down at the table again, and Mo Lao handed the money bag and the two treaty sheets to Wang Xiucai.
"This is five hundred taels of silver and the treaty you want to draw!" Mo Lao said indifferently, his gaze still falling on the magic bead in his hand.
Wang Xiucai put down the money bag with an excited face, he touched the somewhat heavy money bag, and counted it directly in front of Mo Lao, no more, no less, exactly five hundred taels!
With the silver in his hand, Wang Xiucai's mood was much more steady, and he lowered his head and looked at the other two contracts, read them carefully, and found that they were as Mo Lao said.
Then he opened his mouth and bit his thumb and pressed his handprint on the place where the two treaties were signed.
After doing this, Wang Xiucai put the five hundred taels of silver in his hand steadily.
I breathed a heavy sigh of relief in my heart.
"Now that the deal has been concluded, then I will take my leave, old man!"
Wang Xiucai had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to stay here longer, thinking that he would run away with the five hundred taels of silver early.
"Hmmm! You can go! Mo Lao nodded absently.
Wang Xiucai was overjoyed in his heart, picked up the money bag containing five hundred taels of silver and left in a hurry.
When I walked out of the room, I saw a dark corridor again.
At this time, Wang Xiucai remembered what the old man at the counter had said to him, he would die if he walked around here.
Forehead! Why don't you go back and ask for directions first!
Just as Wang Xiucai wanted to turn around, the old man at the counter who led the way for Wang Xiucai before quietly came out from in front of him.
The figure that suddenly jumped out made Wang Xiucai exclaim in surprise. But in a moment, he also saw the person clearly, patted his chest and was shocked:
"Oh my god! You almost scared the hell out of me! ”
The old man at the counter smiled politely: "I'm here to lead the way for you!" ”
"Come on! Go this way! So saying, the old man went straight forward.
Wang Xiucai also immediately followed, to be honest, he was indeed a little scared of this gloomy place.
Returning to the first floor, Wang Xiucai walked out of the pawnshop door under the old man's send-off.
It was already dark by now. Wang Xiucai looked around, there were only a few scattered figures on the street, all of them were going home, Wang Xiucai held the money bag and strangled it vigorously.
Then I thought about the night and fled in a panic.
As everyone knows, a window on the second floor of the pawnshop was pushed open by a gap, and Mo Lao was observing everything outside through this gap.
Seeing Wang Xiucai's back leaving in a panic, a hint of an intriguing smile appeared on Mo Lao's face.
He picked up the fluorescent beads in his hand and muttered to himself, "It seems that the origin of this thing should be a little unclean!" ”
"Lao Qiu!" Mo Lao suddenly gave an order.
In the darkened room, a voice suddenly appeared.
"Brother Mo!" The visitor raised his hand slightly, and slowly stepped forward, and the candlelight gradually reflected his face.
It was the old man who led the way for Wang Xiucai.
"This time, you will have a hard trip, follow him to see if you can find out the origin of this bead, and if you find that he has the intention of leaving Hua'an County, you will arrest him back!"
"Yes!" The old man who was called Lao Qiu came down in response, waved his robe, and his figure flew out of the window like a ghost, obviously not an ordinary person.
Mo Lao's eyes calmly looked at the night outside the window.
In his heart, there were many thoughts, five hundred taels of silver was a lot of money for the Liu Mansion, this Wensheng thought he was smart, but how could this money be so easy to cheat!
........
Hua'an County County.
Although it was late at night, the candlelight of the county government was still lit.
Above the public court, one by one the figures tied up with chains were detained in the public court, and nearly forty officials were detained, and more than three people were detained.
The originally wide public hall suddenly became a little crowded because of the arrival of officials and these people.
However, it can be seen from the clean clothing of these people and the details that the officials took great care to keep these people from harm during the escort. They are not prisoners.
"Lord Liang! In total, more than thirty people have been found! These people have already taken Da Luo Jindan and are experiencing corresponding symptoms! The leading official came out and reported to Liang Ming.
Liang Ming's eagle-like gaze raised slightly: "En! Did anyone take the initiative to recruit themselves? ”
"Yes! But there's only one! ”
Liang Ming nodded slowly, and then ordered: "Those who confess on their own remember to give preferential treatment, and the rest will be chained but don't let them get hurt!" ”
The results of the investigation for a whole day made Liang Ming extremely shocked in his heart!
The so-called Da Luo Jin Dan is not an elixir at all, but a harmful thing that overdraws the human body's functions, and those who take this thing will make people have a strong dependence, and the more they eat, the more dependent on this pill will be!
The reason why these thirty people were tied with chains was to prevent them from harming themselves when the side effects of Da Luo Jindan occurred.
Liang Ming's gaze swept over the thirty people, and then his eyes burst out with astonishing determination: "This county order immediately orders to publicize the harmfulness of Da Luo Jindan in the whole county of Hua'an County!" Be sure to stop more people from taking this elixir! ”
"Lord Liang! Today, our patrol officials found that a group of people in the county were tearing up the notices we issued and deliberately blocking the spread of news! ”
