Chapter 223 Killing
"Hmm." Ximenqing nodded. This credibility is higher than Wu. I have seen the conscription notice of the imperial court. It must be enough before this year. Wu Song has not appeared in the county office for so many days in a row, and no official knows his movements, so this credibility is much higher. Moreover, Wu Song's servant has no reason to deliberately tell such a lie in front of you. Wu Song's wife is probably not in Yanggu... You have done a good job in this, so that the possibility that Wu Da has left has indeed increased a little, but... I can't believe it yet. It's about my life. Don't make any reckless guesses. Ximenqing patted his forehead and told himself that he must stay awake and not be confused by the things in front of him. Maybe this is really a beautiful dream, and it will wake up after a moment.
"It's not over yet. I have other investigations." Wang An smiled mysteriously.
Ximen Qing suddenly thought that these things happened last night, but Wang An rushed in this morning. He must have made some new gains this morning. Speak!" Ximen Qing almost roared out this word.
"After I came back last night, I lay in ** and couldn't sleep. Thinking about the road map when Wu Da left Yanggu on the morning of November 16th. I always feel that his route choice is definitely not just to go to Zishi Street to remember, but also to go to another location, and this location should pass by Cross Street. And it is very likely that this place is on West Street. When he finished his work on West Street and considered the problem of leaving the city, he naturally thought that the west wharf had been frozen and could not go. If he walked north, he would pass by the government office. There, he had many acquaintances and was likely to be recognized, so he chose to leave from the east. Of course, I think his best choice should be straight. It may be that he is afraid of passing by Wu Song's house and being seen by people like Lao Wu, which is also very bad. Of course, this reason is a little far-fetched, and I haven't thought of a better explanation yet. But I think it is worth exploring where Wuhan University went to the West Street on the morning of November 16. In fact, this problem is not difficult to think about. Wu Da took a lot of money when he left. If we assume that he fled, he definitely needs to bring as much money as possible. Although there is a lot of water in Guihua Building, it is far from enough. As a Wu University, the biggest asset is the Guihua Building, but how can the restaurant be carried with you..."
"Unless it is turned into silver!" Ximen Qing patted his thigh and understood what Wang An meant. The most convenient thing is to find a pawnshop. As the president of the Wu Dalang Chamber of Commerce and Wu Song's reputation, even the price of finding a pawnshop will never be low. What's more, Wuda will definitely make up an excuse for urgent needing money to make the pawnshop think that he will definitely redeem it... Pawnshop, pawnshop, pawnshop that can buy osmanthus. Ximenqing smiled at the corners of his mouth. There are not many pawnshops in Yanggu County that meet this requirement. The most likely one is... "Two-deli pawnshops are on the West Street. Wang An, I guess you went there this morning.
"The owner is right, and I got what you want." Wang An took out a box from his arms and handed it to Ximen Qing.
This is a box with vermilion paint, which is very exquisite. I pushed my finger to open the lid and found that there was folded paper inside. Ximenqing took out the paper with his fingers, put the box on the table beside him, and opened the folded paper with a trembling hand. One is the deed of Osmanthus Building, and the other is the land deed of Osmanthus Building.
Wu Da really sold the Guihua Building.
However... How can Wang An get this? Wuhan University should have set the time for at least a few months, and now it has only been a few days. The pawnshop industry is very honest and seems to be too unruly irregular to give things that are still alive to others.
"How did you get it? Wu Da can't die." Ximenqing asked Wang An with the house deed and land deed.
"Of course it's impossible. Wu Da is not that stupid. However, the owner's business is nothing more than to make money. I didn't have time to inform you, so I made a decision before I got these two papers. Wang An said.
"What decision?" Ximenqing stared at the two pieces of paper in his hand, as if they would grow wings and fly away at any time.
"I signed a contract with the shopkeeper of the two-deli pawnshop. This deed and land deed are temporarily placed with us. Once Wuda comes to redeem it, we must return it to him intact. In this way, he agreed to keep the deed and land deed with us. Wang An said with a flat face.
"It's not early without profit, that's what you just said. The pawnshop can't do this kind of smashing signboard for no reason. Tell me, how much did it cost? It seems that the so-called "unauthorized decision" is about spending money.
"10,000 taels. I gave them 10,000 taels. I inquired that Wu Da became an osmanthus building at that time and took 500 taels of gold, so that we would pay double the price. If Wu Da comes to redeem it, the pawnshop will transfer the money to us, that is to say, the pawnshop will earn 5,000 taels of silver. Even if we don't give the pawnshop the deed and land deed, the pawnshop double compensation to Wu Da, coupled with the power of the Wu family, it is impossible for us to take over the Guihua Building with two pieces of paper. While stating the amount, Wang An did not forget to help Ximenqing analyze it.
And Ximen Qing heard that after Wang An said "10,000 taels", the rest of the words seemed to come from the distant sky. Ten thousand taels, ten thousand taels! I fought for my life to get 30,000 taels of silver, and one-third of it was spent in an instant. These 30,000 taels of silver are my future, my hope, my glory and dream. But now, one-third is gone. What's more annoying is that Wang An didn't follow when making such a big decision. Discuss it yourself!
After a long time, Ximen Qing forced himself to calm down: "Wang An, 10,000 taels is not a small amount."
"My boss, that's what I think. In fact, we don't spend 10,000 taels, but 5,000 taels. Anyway, we will be compensated. Either the restaurant of Guihua Building, or the ransom of Wuhan University, 5,000 taels of silver, for a real news about life, I think it's worth it. Wang An explained. He didn't have any uneasiness, as if all this was taken for granted.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ximen Qing laughed.
Actually, his heart is bleeding. Wang An thinks it's worth it, but Ximen Qing thinks it's not worth it. This is not Wang An's money, and this is not Wang An's future. How can he be heartbroken? If Ximen Qing had a sharp knife in his hand at this time, he felt that he would not hesitate to stab Wang An's heart and make him pay a high price for this 10,000 taels of silver.
