In Qingshui Town, in the elegant room in the backyard of Tianxiang Building, a middle-aged man with a low eyebrow stood in front of Yang Ruoqing.
If Father Gu was lucky enough to see this scene, he would definitely use his last strength to scratch the middle-aged man and make him return the jewelry.
"You did a good job on this matter, I'm very satisfied." Yang Ruoqing saw the letter in her hand, raised her eyes and stared at the middle-aged man in front of her.
"You showed up in this matter. Don't stay in Wanghai County for a short time. Come back after the Gu family matter is settled."
"Yes, Brother Xu also explained this matter to me." The middle-aged man in front of him said.
Moreover, we have even found a place to go out to avoid the limelight. We have food and drink. It’s so comfortable!
Yang Ruoqing closed the letter and looked at the jewelry box beside her: "I'll accept this box. You can go back."
"Yes, please excuse me."
After the middle-aged man left, Yang Ruoqing put the box on her lap and pressed the hidden button on it.
There is a lot of jewels and jewels inside, which would definitely dazzle anyone else.
But for Yang Ruoqing, these things are just the tip of the iceberg compared to her family's wealth.
He casually grabbed a handful of pearl necklaces and emerald agate and weighed it in his hands. The whole box of jewelry would definitely be sold for three hundred taels of silver in normal times, but when you are in a hurry to spend money, that has to be discussed separately. Yes, thank God for the discount of 1,560 taels of silver.
"Qing'er, what are you going to do with these jewelry?" Luo Fengtang came in and asked after seeing the situation clearly.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't you still know your wife's temper? I just love counting money. These things will naturally belong to me when they come into my hands. No one is allowed to snatch them from me!"
Luo Fengtang said: "But our family is already rich enough..."
"General, you really don't want to live in this world. There is no limit to money in this world. Not to mention anything else, do you need money to pay for your national defense army?"
"There have been a lot of things in the court in the past few years, and that guy Qi Xingyun is also very good at troubles. I don't know how much money is left in the treasury due to his troubles. I may not be able to pay out military pay at any time. As a protector, you General Guoda, at least you must have the ability to ensure that all the soldiers and horses in the army are chewed, otherwise, who will fight with you?"
Although he knew clearly that Yang Ruoqing was lying to him and it was impossible for the court to fail to pay military salaries, Luo Fengtang was still impressed by her absurd reasoning.
"Qing'er is far-sighted and reasonable, and her husband has benefited from it."
Yang Ruoqing raised her lips proudly and closed the box again, "Just think of the Gu family as contributing to the imperial court. Only when the country is strong and foreign enemies dare not invade can their small businessmen make money safely. If they can't make enough money, there will be no such thing. According to the principle, energy is not conserved!"
Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows, and he caught another new word.
"Qing'er, what is conservation of energy? Is this also what you say in your hometown?" His eyes were full of curiosity.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yes, how do you explain it? If we understand the conservation of energy in our terms, it should be called a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution. It's pretty much the same meaning, so there's no need to go into detail!"
Luo Fengtang remembered.
"As for the Gu family, what are your plans next?" he asked again.
The past few days have been like a storm, knocking several of the Gu family's shops in the county to the point of collapse, even defrauding Gu's mother of the jewelry she kept at the bottom of the box.
"The Gu family..." Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, "I heard that Gu's father is so angry that he is sick in bed. If they are forced to sell their houses and land to raise money at this time, they might really die. They will die. , it’s not good for me either.”
"Then go back and say hello to the government. Gu's shop can be unblocked. It will be unblocked but not allowed to open for business. Only the taxes owed before can be repaid in full before it can open for business."
Taking care of one's father and mother is an accomplice. Punishment is all that is needed, but there is no need to kill the offender.
The main culprits are Gu Zhihua and that Shuhua.
Because Shuhua is pregnant, Yang Ruoqing's principle is not to harm the child, so Shuhua's part of the punishment will fall double on Gu Zhihua.
Wanghai County, Gu family.
"Master, tomorrow is the third day. If we can't collect five hundred taels of silver, Zhihua will be in big trouble. What should we do?"
Gu's mother sat in front of Gu's father's bed and wiped her tears. Although she knew that Gu's father was so angry that he couldn't stand the stimulation, Gu's mother still had to say it cruelly.
Gu's father was lying on the bed and said, "Ask Lao Gen to find a man to sell the land. There are more than a hundred acres of high-quality farmland. I can raise 500 taels of silver."
Gu's mother went to make arrangements.
In Shuhua's house.
Shuhua looked at the banknotes and land deeds that had been swapped, and she was dumbfounded.
She had these things hidden under her clothes, and they were sewn up on the outside. How could they still be dropped?
The person who dropped the bag actually sewed it back on for her without her even noticing!
When did this happen?
She remembered that before she moved into Tianxiang House in Qing'an County, the banknote and land deed were still there. Could it be that someone had switched places to stay in the restaurant?
In the past two days since she returned to Wanghai County, Gu's mother almost refused to let her leave, and she never had a chance to check.
I just took advantage of this opportunity to check, but I didn’t expect this to happen!
Shuhua's head was completely white and she couldn't turn around. She was so anxious that tears fell down. She got up out of habit and rushed to the door to seek help from her aunt and uncle.
As soon as her hand pressed the door bolt, she suddenly shivered.
I have told my aunt so many things before, but if I say these words now, not only will my aunt and the others not be able to help me get my money back, but I will also lose trust.
No, you can't go out!
Shuhua put the door bolt back in, returned to the bed, picked up a pillow, put her face in it and cried.
Now I really have nothing left...
This dumb guy can only swallow it by himself.
Before Lao Gen went out to find Ya Zi, someone from the government came to Gu's house.
This scared Father Gu and Mother very much.
However, after hearing the official announcement, Gu's father breathed a sigh of relief and sent the official away. The color on Gu's father's face instantly recovered a bit.
"Since the lockdown can be lifted, there is hope. Lao Gen, go and find Yazi, sell fifty acres of land, and pay the money to the government to pay the taxes first.
Our family has a total of seven shops. Let’s take out six of them first. It won’t matter if the price is lower. Leave one shop to make a living. No matter what, we must fish out Zhihua first! "
If Zhihua is fished out, there will be hope for everything!
"Remember, you must pay in cash, and the banknotes will be accepted. There is no delay. The five hundred taels of silver will be available today!"
Old Uncle Gen got the order and went out to do errands.
In the afternoon, all five banknotes were in Father Gu's hands.
"...Sir, I met a big buyer who was very happy. He bought all fifty acres of our farmland in one go, and I was very happy with the banknotes."
