Chapter 266

The Qian family——

Halfway through noon, the head of the Qian family waited with the old man beside him, but they still didn't see Yunxi and the two coming, and their hearts were sinking.

Maybe after investigating the situation, the other party felt that it was not worth it and gave up?

Fifty taels is a lot, but it's not much, and for some people, it's nothing.

The head of the Qian family decided to close the door without waiting, and said to the old man on the side: "You go back, you wasted nearly a day with me, thank you." ”

The old man shook his head.

If this business can be successful, he can also draw ten taels of silver, if it fails...... That is, it failed.

The head of the Qian family said that he was going to close the gate, but the people were still waiting outside the gate, poking their heads out to look at the entrance of the street.

The third gate is close to the entrance of the street, and if someone comes to the street in the back city, you can see it immediately, if there is no, that is, no one is coming.

Vendors and pedestrians passed through several waves.

The waiting time was particularly grinding, waiting and waiting, and finally waiting for the two of Yunxi to appear.

The head of the Qian family and the old man had their eyes lit up at that time.

When they come, it means that the house can be sold!

They came, which means that he can draw ten taels from it!

"Let's go, let's go to the Yamen to transfer the house," the head of the Qian family said excitedly.

"I haven't paid yet, don't you have to give money?" Yunxi teased.

"Naturally," the head of the Qian family nodded.

Yunxi turned his head, and Ling Heng took out the fifteen silver cakes of fifty taels that he had prepared, and the fifty taels deposit he had given before was exactly eight hundred taels.

The Qian family saw that it was a silver cake, and their eyes lit up.

"The silver cake is good, the silver cake is good!"

The reason why the head of the Qian family wanted to use cash instead of using silver tickets was cast in the eyes of the two with a deep sense of gratitude.

"Let's go, go to the yamen to transfer the account now, if it doesn't work, I'm willing to return the fifty taels to you!"

The head of the Qian family said sincerely.

If it doesn't work, it means that the prefect is unwilling to let him go, and he can't sell his house.

"Hmm," Yunxi nodded, thinking of that as well.

***

The prefect's front office——

In addition to the public hall where the case is heard, there are several office rooms, which are entered through the side door.

And they went into the houses and fields.

"The head of the Qian family."

The clerk recognized the head of the Qian family.

The head of the Qian family held his breath uneasily, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he said, "I sold the house and came to transfer it today." ”

The clerk couldn't help but look at Ling Heng, only to see that this was a young man with an extraordinary appearance, wearing muslin cloth that ordinary people could afford, if you want to say the difference, it is the dark embroidery on the clothes, this kind of embroidery of the villager makes a dress, but it is seventy or eighty taels, it should be an extraordinary status, just like muslin clothes, right?

"Okay, your transfer fee is fifty taels," said the clerk.

The face of the head of the Qian family was a little ugly, and the old man's face also changed.

Yunxi frowned, is the transfer fee so expensive? What she heard when she was in the county government of Luxian County before, the transfer fee for one acre of land is twenty wen, and the transfer fee for a house covering an area of one acre is only two taels, and the current house of the head of the Qian family is about five taels of silver at most, right?

She thought of it, this was the yamen embarrassment for the head of the Qian family.

The head of the Qian family smiled bitterly and took out two or two dozen more scribes, and asked, "Is there any hint?" Like I can't leave or something. ”

If he really can't leave, he can't throw such a pitted house to Yunxi and the others.

The clerk shook the newly arrived two taels of silver in his hand, and shook his head: "No, it's just that you don't know each other." ”

Understood, it's a lesson.

"Thank you."

His mouth was so bitter that he couldn't open it, but the head of the Qian family still bowed his head and said words of thanks.

Isn't this the same situation as the emperor cutting off someone's head, but asking that person to thank the emperor?

Yunxi watched from the sidelines, and he was also panicked.

But that's the reality.
