Lucky husband

The decision of the Li family brothers disappointed Yaren for a while. The two brothers said that they had to reconsider the price, which probably meant that they didn't want to buy it.

Boss Liang next to him was greatly relieved, thinking about his plans, he didn't want to sell his shop to the county government servants at all.

Li Chengzhi followed Li Chengshi away, he felt a little uncomfortable, he thought he could buy a shop he wanted, but in reality he had nowhere to spend the money.

Seeing this, Li Chengshi comforted his brother before letting him go out of the city. After he disappeared, Li Chengshi returned to the county government office and went to the house where the household registration files were kept to find out about Boss Liang.

Boss Liang said that his son went to study in Zhoucheng, and he planned to sell the shop to follow him for his son. Li Chengshi always felt that it was not that simple. He would go if he wanted to go to Zhoucheng. The shops are all sold and the prices are lowered, so there must be something wrong with him.

People from county towns go to the prefectural capital to rent or buy a house for a long-term stay. If they are students, they need to report to the county and prefectural offices with the certificate of admission to the academy or school, otherwise they will be kicked out of the city if they are found out.

Fortunately, the household registration files had just been sorted out not long ago. Li Chengshi was there to help at that time. He had a better idea of ​​where to put what. After searching for half an hour, he found Boss Liang's information.

He did have a son, but his son did not go to Zhoucheng to study, and there was no record in the household registration information, which meant that either Boss Liang's son was still in the county, or he left without reporting to the government.

Li Chengshi thought for a while, put the household registration file back, and went back to the house in a good mood, planning to wash up and go to bed. If the news is revealed tomorrow, someone will naturally press Boss Liang back.

The next day, Li Chengshi went to the rice noodle stall before the county government started work.

After Li Chengzhi went back yesterday, two villains had been fighting in his mind. On the one hand, the third brother said that he should not be so anxious to reserve the shop; on the other hand, he said that this shop is cheap. Hard to find anymore.

Because he was entangled with things, Li Chengzhi fell asleep very late, and after falling asleep, he had a strange dream all night, which made him look listless at the moment.

It was still early, and there were not many customers coming to eat rice noodles, so Li Chengshi quickly took his brother to the side while he was free, and explained the problem he found.

Li Chengzhi was still thinking about whether to go to Sandi to discuss the establishment of the shop, but after listening to Li Chengshi's words, he stopped being entangled: "Third Brother, you mean that Boss Liang is lying?"

Li Chengshi nodded: "Well, I don't know if he is telling the truth about the rest. At least the reason he said for selling the shop is wrong. In my opinion, it is better not to buy this shop."

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Li Chengzhi finally made up his mind not to cause trouble to his upper body: "Okay, I get it."

After finishing his elder brother's ideological work, Li Chengshi went back to the county government office. At the end of the year, all kinds of things piled up, and he had a lot of things to do every day.

Li Chengzhi waited for Li Chengshi to leave and slowly adjusted his mentality. After getting busy, he gradually put this matter behind his mind, comforting himself that he will meet a better shop in the future, and there is no need to worry about a position. , There may also be problematic shops.

The brothers of the Li family made a decision. Boss Liang was worried about attracting the attention of the county government officials. Early in the morning, he quickly negotiated the price with the buyer who had visited once before, and then went to the county government to transfer the deed. He was greatly relieved that he didn't meet Li Chengshi.

What Boss Liang didn't know was that Li Chengshi knew what he was doing in a short while, because Li Chengshi took the time to go to the housekeeper who was in charge of registering household registration, real estate, and land property information, and the housekeeper saw him. Afterwards, I took the initiative to bring up what happened just now, saying that I have never seen such a cheap store in these years.

In the afternoon, when Hu Fang finished his work, he saw Li Chengshi passing by them, and he dragged him to chat for a while, saying that the idiot who sold the shop at a low price in the morning came again in the afternoon, and sold another one at the same low price. shop.

The people in the household joked that if they knew in advance that these two shops were sold so cheaply, they would definitely have to borrow some money from relatives and friends to buy them. Not to mention other things, the monthly rent is very considerable, not much more than monthly silver. few.

Li Chengshi smiled, and listened quietly to their complaints about the high expenses of the family, and how it was for the family to live in the county with only the man working outside to earn money.

After waiting for everyone in the household to finish talking, Li Chengshi opened his mouth: "My brother and I went to see that shop yesterday evening. I think the shop is quite ordinary, and there is something wrong with it."

The people in the house became interested when they heard Li Chengshi's words, and asked Li Chengshi to explain clearly what the problem was.

Li Chengshi said that he went back and looked through the household registration files, and the above records did not match what Mr. Liang said, and he didn't know what happened to his son.

Hearing Li Chengshi's words, he felt that something was wrong, and the housekeeper reported the incident to the head in charge of them after Li Chengshi left. After looking through the household registration files, it was indeed what Li Chengshi said.

It would be fine if Boss Liang just randomly found a reason to sell the shop, but if his son is really not at home, then he has to find out where Boss Liang's son has gone and what he has done.

Since the incident at the Dragon and Tiger Escort Bureau in Hui'an Province, the county magistrate has strengthened the control over the county personnel a lot, and judging from what Li Chengshi meant, he probably wanted them to investigate. Without hesitation, the housekeeper immediately transferred two Go to Boss Liang's house to investigate the situation.

After inquiring in the past, the neighbors said that Boss Liang's son went to Zhoucheng to study about a month ago, and he has never been seen back.

After understanding the situation clearly, the two conscripts divided into two groups, and went to cloth villages in the north and south of the city to find someone, and asked Boss Liang to explain his son's whereabouts.

When the guard rushed over, Boss Liang was collecting deposits and writing the contract at the cloth village in the north of the city. When the guard came over and shook his hands, a long ink mark was drawn on the paper, which was very dazzling.

Regardless of what the people in the shop were doing, the guards asked Boss Liang to go to the county office directly after entering the door. His attitude was neither good nor bad, he didn't ask him any questions, and he didn't say anything about going to the county office.

At this time, Boss Liang's contract hadn't been finished yet, and the person who had given the deposit of ten taels of silver hurriedly took back his silver when he saw it, and there was only the document with an ink mark left on the counter.

The guard leaned over to look at the content of the contract curiously, and said "Huh" strangely: "Boss Liang, how many shops are there under your name?"

Boss Liang turned pale when he heard this, his lips trembled and he didn't say anything.

The bosses, shopkeepers, and passers-by of several nearby shops gathered around to watch the excitement. Seeing that Boss Liang was too scared to answer, someone in the know helped and said, "Just two, one is in the south of the city and the other is in the north of the city. Boss Liang is both Going to sell it."

Those who were more courageous, those who had dealt with officials couldn't help asking: "Big brother, what's wrong with Boss Liang, you still want to take him to the county government office?"

"It's best not to ask about public affairs, so as not to get into trouble." The guard turned his head and smiled playfully, "But I can be sure of one thing, this Boss Liang has been to the county government twice today. The shop has been sold, and the deed has been replaced, where did he get the shop to sell again?"

Hearing what the guard said, the person who had just almost paid a deposit of ten taels of silver widened his eyes, unable to understand what the other party meant.

The guard didn't want to talk too much outside, so when he found the man surnamed Liang, he pushed him back to the county government office, leaving a group of onlookers guessing what Boss Liang had done.

The buyer holding ten taels of silver was stunned for a while before he could understand what the guard meant. His brain exploded, and he dragged the boy who brought him here to scold for a while, and let the people around him see A lot of fun.

When Boss Liang was walking on the road, he kept thinking about what he had committed. It stands to reason that the fact that he collected dozens of taels of deposit should not have been revealed, and why the officials arrested him.

After thinking and thinking, he was brought to the county government office without thinking about anything. This kind of small case could not alarm the county magistrate, so the guards notified the master to come for trial first.

The master heard the news before that this man's son said that he went to Zhoucheng to study and had been away for a while, but there was no record in the household registration file of the county government, so when he saw Boss Liang, the master directly asked him where his son was. what happened.

When Boss Liang heard this, his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, trembling with fright. Before the master could interrogate him, he tremblingly told what he did and why he did it.

Boss Liang's son is a gentle bastard who didn't make a name for himself in school. He kept clamoring to go to Zhoucheng to study. Boss Liang was so troubled by him that he gave him money to send him there. As a result, he fell in love with him as soon as he went to Zhoucheng. He fell in love with the oiran of a flower building, and another son of a family who liked the oiran didn't like him, so he made a game in the gambling house and made him lose a thousand taels of silver and go out.

There is a big backer behind the gambling house. If Boss Liang's son doesn't return the money, his hands and feet will be cut off. He hurriedly wrote home to ask for the money.

Boss Liang and his wife got such a precious son. When she saw her son saying that her hands and feet were going to be cut off, she fainted on the spot, and then cried and begged her husband to pay her son's debt. Soon Boss Liang's mother also knew, crying They rushed to ask Boss Liang to rescue her precious grandson.

The Liang family has two shops and a house in Changping County. The two shops add up to about 600 taels, and the house is worth more than 300 taels, which is less than 1000 taels. The cash will be used to settle their family's future life, and they dare not move it casually.

So, in a hurry, Boss Liang came up with the foolish trick of defrauding the deposit. He has been operating in the county for so many years, and he still has some contacts. He had basically got it, and he was about to collect the ten taels of silver and run away, but the county government officials went over and arrested him.

Boss Liang, who was in the county government office, was terrified. What he was afraid of was that his son would be cut off by the people in the gambling shop if he didn’t give the money in time. .

Boss Liang said with snot and tears that he was forced to do nothing, and asked the county magistrate to let him go and return the money before arresting him.

The master has lived for most of his life, and has seen all kinds of people. It is rare to see Boss Liang. After listening to Boss Liang, he did not get what he wanted. Boss Liang and his family lived in the place where they lived for the past two days, and all the money in his family was searched out. The compensation that should be compensated should be returned to the Liang family and then returned to them.

As for their son who owed debts, the Liang family sold the house and shop plus their family cash amounted to 200 taels, which was enough to pay off the gambling debt.
