On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal
Chapter 1161 Deal
When the Wu family's housekeeper heard the price of five thousand taels, he almost fainted from anger.
"Five thousand? This... Aren't you robbing me?"
The astute buyer raised an eyebrow: "Hey? How can you talk like that? Who's robbing me? Forget it."
The astute buyer turned around and was about to leave. His follower curled his lips and said, "Boss, you are right not to buy. This is a dangerous place. There are corpses everywhere. Maybe a murder has happened there. Maybe there are corpses buried somewhere else."
"No, we have to report to the police immediately!"
When the Wu family's housekeeper heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. If the matter was really reported to the authorities, it would be hard to explain. Not to mention selling it, they might even have to seal up the estate and conduct an investigation.
No, that’s not right. It’s not maybe, it’s definitely going to happen.
By then you won’t even be able to get five thousand taels.
Thinking of this, the Wu family's housekeeper gritted his teeth and ran over to stop the shrewd buyer.
"Okay, five thousand is five thousand!"
The astute buyer was a little hesitant. Wu's housekeeper's heart was pounding, fearing that he would change his mind, so he quickly said, "We can go to the famous house now."
"Well... okay, I'll take a chance."
The Wu family's butler breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked someone to prepare a carriage. He would go into the city to transfer the ownership.
He was worried all the way. He knew the attitude of the government towards the Wu family in recent days. What if there was another blockage...
I secretly pray to God for blessings and hope that everything goes well.
After much difficulty, they arrived at the yamen. His carriage was at the back, and the car of the shrewd buyer was at the front. As soon as the carriage stopped, he hurried to the gate of the yamen, holding the purse, thinking about giving some benefits.
In front of the door, the Wu family's housekeeper bowed and nodded, and in the hall, the honest buyer Feng Shao was talking to the governor Cao.
"I estimate it will be here soon. Please help me transfer the property as soon as possible."
Governor Cao smiled and said, "No problem, this is a small matter. Come on, go check at the door."
Feng Shao added, "Sir, don't worry. Wait until they arrive and stop them first. We should at least let the yamen runners at the door get some benefits, right? This is what my brother Beibei wants."
Governor Cao laughed loudly, pointed at him and said, "You are really amazing. OK, wait, someone, serve tea."
When the tea was served, Governor Cao asked Feng Shao to sit down and drink the tea while waiting.
Feng Shao lowered his head and stood up: "I dare not. If it were not for my master's face, how could I have a face-to-face meeting with you? I am very grateful for your help. How can I sit in front of you?"
Governor Cao did not think much about it and sincerely asked him to sit down and wait.
After hearing what he said, I felt so relieved. People educated in the royal palace are different. Look at them, they are so good at speaking and know the rules very well.
Unlike those under my command...
Just as I thought of this, a yamen runner came running in and shouted loudly: "Sir, sir! Someone from the Wu family is coming again, what should we do!"
Governor Cao: “…” He felt so embarrassed.
"What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for?" Governor Cao said unhappily, "The sky hasn't fallen yet, why are they coming again? Are they going to transfer the farm to another family?"
The yamen runner's eyes widened: "Sir, you are amazing! It is true. He wants to transfer the farm. What do you think we should do? Do you want me to arrest him for a few days?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched with several fingers.
Governor Cao stroked his forehead and was too embarrassed to look at the bee whistle on the side.
"Look at what you are capable of. You are still so capable. Hurry up and complete the formalities for him. It will be done within half an hour. Go!"
The yamen runner didn't understand what was going on, but he nodded obediently: "Yes, yes, I'll go right away."
Feng Shao saw that he had left, and the matter was settled. He bowed and said, "Sir, I will take my leave now. I will go back and report to the prince and princess. I will never forget your help."
Governor Cao waved his hand and said, "What's this? No need to report to the prince and princess. It's a small matter. In the future, there is no need to ask the prince and princess for permission. If you need any help, just tell me."
Feng Shao thanked him again, bowed, and left.
Governor Cao sighed deeply, and the advisor beside him asked, "Sir, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Governor Cao looked at him and said, "Yes, I feel uncomfortable. Look at other people's subordinates. They are all smart, sensible, good at talking and doing things. Look at my subordinates. They are all stupid, and..."
Governor Cao didn't know what to say anymore and sighed heavily.
The master pondered and said, "As the saying goes, if one soldier is incompetent, the generals will be incompetent too. The prince is a great hero of the time, so his subordinates are naturally powerful."
Governor Cao tilted his head to look at him: "..." Listen, is this human language? Even his master is so stupid, what else does he want from a yamen runner?
Never mind, just make do with it.
With the order from Governor Cao, the formalities were indeed completed very quickly. The Wu family's housekeeper was still a little confused, but he was also secretly a little proud of himself. He thought the matter would be stuck, but fortunately he used money and said nice things. It seems that his method is still effective and his words are still operative.
When the last seal fell, Zhuangzi finally changed its owner, and Beibei gave the banknote to the Wu family's steward.
The Wu family's housekeeper counted them and felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't care about that and hurried back to meet the old lady.
All the things in Old Madam Wu's yard were thrown away. She was angry and distressed. She couldn't bear it for a moment and fell ill due to anger. She had to live in another yard temporarily.
But after all, it’s not a place I’m used to living in. I get nauseated when I see it, and my health gets worse.
I finally waited for the housekeeper to come back and felt a little more energetic.
"How was it? How much silver did it sell for?"
The butler knelt down, took out the silver bill and handed it to her with both hands. When the old lady saw it, she could not believe her eyes.
"Five thousand taels?" The old lady's voice was about to burst. "Is this what you did?"
The housekeeper kowtowed and said, "Old Madam, if it weren't for my prompt decision, I'm afraid there wouldn't be even five thousand taels left."
He narrated the whole incident, of course, emphasizing how the price was negotiated and how difficult it was. He also mentioned the corpse and how no one was willing to buy it, and one person was only willing to pay five thousand and even report it to the police. He described it in great detail.
When the old lady heard this, she was so shocked and angry that she fainted. It took her a long time to recover.
Her face was uncertain, and she pondered for a long while: "Go, go report to the authorities and tell them about the corpse in the manor."
The housekeeper was stunned: "Madam, this... that manor is no longer owned by the Wu family..."
"Just because it's not his, I'm going to report it to the police! He bought my farm so cheaply, I'll make him pay the price!"
The housekeeper understood: "Yes, I will do it right away."
Just as she got up, someone outside ran in in a panic: "Madam, it's bad, the Zhao brothers went to the government office and sued the Third Master."
The old lady's eyes went dark. "How dare they sue? My son was beaten because of them. Why are they suing?"
"They said that the Third Master sold the furniture fraudulently and wanted to take it back after getting the money, which affected their business and reputation."
"Bah! Two scoundrels, what reputation do they have?"
"Get out, ignore me."
"No, old lady, someone has come to the gate to take the Third Master in for questioning."
