Chapter 1749 Taking Advantage of the Situation

Gu Jinli was able to buy a lot of land for houses and shops.

She also told Kuang and Ji Zhenniang, and they also bought some... Although they are eating grain porridge now, after the bandits were suppressed in Bailang Mountain, several families became very rich and had money to buy houses and land. .

Because of this, as soon as Ji Zhenniang and Xie Cheng entered the courtyard, Grandma Xie came to report that Erqing was here.

Erqing came to deliver a message. After seeing Ji Zhenniang, he told Gu Jinli's instructions: "Mrs. Xie, my wife said that if you have a house deed that has not been registered at the Yamen, find it now and give it to Gao Gao. Madam, she will go to the Yamen in person to document all the property deeds."

"It's so urgent, but what happened?" Ji Zhenniang asked.

Erqing: "My wife said that this matter must be settled as soon as possible to avoid any changes."

The lady said that aristocratic families and high-ranking officials are not short of money, and they like to take advantage of the situation to buy houses, shops and fields. In order to prevent the accompanying adults from using their power to snatch houses, shops and fields, they had better get the deeds of the house and land registered first.

Mrs. Gao was deeply convinced and agreed to come forward to handle this matter.

She was sent to inform Ji Zhenniang and the others to quickly get the deed of the house that was to be passed.

"Madam also told me that if there is land for a house, shop, or farm that you want to buy but haven't yet, it's best to buy it today and tomorrow."

Xie Cheng also asked: "If Zhenniang wants to buy a farm, tell me and I will go and do it for you."

Ji Zhenniang shook her head and said with a bit of disgust: "There is war in the northwest, and the fields are thin. I feel that I have lost money on the ones I bought earlier, so I won't buy them."

If Gu Jinli and the others hadn't bought it, she thought what if Gu Jinli and the others made a profit if she didn't buy it, so she followed suit.

Then he said: "Thank you, Grandma, go and find the deeds for the houses, shops and fields."

"Yes." Grandma Xie hurriedly went to find it.

Erqing said goodbye and left.

Xie Cheng held Ji Zhenniang's hand and told her in detail that she should be careful in her words and deeds. If she had anything to say, wait until he came back. The two of them hid in the house and said, "We can't be like this again. On the way, you said something dissatisfied with the emperor. Walls have ears, so people will inevitably listen to them. Even the servants at home are not allowed to say too much. The servants will inevitably have bad words. If they say it out, they will be confiscated and beheaded. .”

After saying that, seeing Ji Zhenniang pursed her lips and being unhappy, she coaxed: "I want to grow old with Zhenniang and give her honor, so while I am working hard, I also want Zhenniang to be safe."

If you die, you won't be able to be the general's wife.

After hearing this, Ji Zhenniang was no longer angry. She said shyly and proudly: "My husband is right, I won't talk nonsense."

Xie Cheng was afraid that she would get carried away, so after explaining a few more words, he said: "The reward team from Beijing is here. The soldiers at the post station outside the city must be extremely happy. I will go out with Uncle Niu and beat them to prevent them from talking." No protection, causing trouble for everyone.”

"Mr. Xie, let's go." Ji Zhenniang sent Xie Cheng out, and after Grandma Xie got the deed, they went to Gao Lei's yard together.

Kuang family, Han family, Lu family, Guo Daming's daughter-in-law and others all came to deliver the deed.

Seeing this, Ji Zhenniang quickly picked up her skirt and ran, rushing into the house. After seeing Gu Jinli, she handed the box containing the deed to Gu Jinli: "Here it is, pass it on with your family."

Aunt Lei likes Gu Jinli the most, and she will be the first to submit the deed. If she can give her her own deed, she will be the second to submit.

Then he hurriedly turned around and saluted Gao Lei respectfully: "I've seen Aunt Lei, but the deed has expired. Please excuse me."

Gao Lei snorted coldly and did not care about her hurrying in. Instead, he warned: "Someone is coming to the capital. Be more honest and don't talk nonsense. If you cause trouble to everyone, I want you to look good!"

Ji Zhenniang shivered and quickly assured: "I know, I won't dare to talk nonsense."

Gao Leishi said nothing and stared at Ji Zhenniang for a while, and then looked away after she became scared.

After collecting all the deeds, Gao Lei took Peng Wen and the others to the government office.

…

When Magistrate Hao and the others learned that the emperor's reward team was about to arrive at Xing'an Mansion, they were very excited and anxious, and immediately got busy to prevent something going wrong tomorrow.

It happened that some smart people in the city came to the yamen with their teeth and various deeds, and wanted to pass the red deed, blocking the gate of the yamen.

What happened? Didn’t you see that the government office was busy?

Qi Tongzhi asked Shi Bantou to drive people away.

"I want to come back next month to pass the red contract. The prefect is not free recently, so please go back!" Shi Bantou got the order and led the government officials to stop them.

"Shi Bantou, please be accommodating. It's just a matter of time and it will be over soon." The big guy refused to leave and gave Shi Bantou and the others money.

But Team Leader Shi refused to accept them and asked the government officials to drive them away with sticks. Those whose backers were not strong enough were all beaten away.

Without being stopped, Gao Lei entered through the corner door of the Yamen and went to see Magistrate Hao, telling him that he wanted to file the deed.

The Lei family's caravan has helped the city a lot, so Magistrate Hao will naturally give this face and ask Master Shuqi to take the Gao Lei family to handle it.

However, the deed that Gao Lei brought was quite a lot, and it took more than an hour to complete.

As soon as it was done, the servants of the Gu family sent two more land deeds, and they went through a lot of trouble again.

Qi Tongzhi was shocked when he heard this. After going to the official office to inquire, he learned that 90% of the deeds brought by Gao Lei belonged to Gu Jinli, Kuang, Ji and other women. He immediately felt sour and ran to tell Magistrate Hao: "Your Excellency, did they buy too much land, houses, shops, and houses? And where did they get the money?"

Magistrate Hao was busy receiving people from the capital. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Qi Tongzhi.

This Qi Tongzhi is a bit gossipy.

Magistrate Hao asked calmly: "Is it much?"

Not only are there too many, they also take advantage of them to rob them!

Qi Tongzhi said this cryptically.

Magistrate Hao sneered: "How many decent people do this kind of thing?"

This respectable family refers to wealthy families and high-ranking officials who like to take advantage of the chaos to buy up land, houses and shops.

Qi Tongzhi choked and said hurriedly: "It's because the official has no status."

It was because I still had official business to do, so I hurriedly left.

…

When Gao Lei returned to the other courtyard, it was already evening. Manager Ruan sent people to deliver grain and meat. The other courtyard was about to kill pigs and sheep, and it was very lively.

Gao Lei was very happy when he heard this lively voice, and asked Peng Wen to send the red deeds in exchange to each family.

As for Gu Jinli's family, they are in no hurry to give it away.

That girl said that she and Sanlang would come over to her for a reunion dinner in the evening.

Unexpectedly, Xie Cheng was grateful to Gao Lei for teaching Ji Zhenniang and brought Ji Zhenniang to dinner.

Ji Zhenniang: "Aunt Lei, let's have dinner with you."

When Gao Lei saw her, she was a little annoyed, and Ji Zhenniang was a busy person, so with her around, there would be some trouble with the meal.

Sure enough, Gao Lei was angered by Ji Zhenniang again at the table.

But she was still happy in her heart. People love to be lively when they get older, and she didn't really dislike seeing Ji Zhenniang. If she really didn't, she wouldn't teach her.

After a few people laughed and ate, they went back to rest. The next day, everyone in the city was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the emperor's reward team.

Many people ran to the city gate to watch the excitement. From morning to afternoon, the reward team finally arrived.

"Come, come, the emperor's reward team is here, there are so many carriages, you can't see the end!" A good person from a good family rode to the city more than ten miles away and waited. After seeing the reward team, he immediately rode back to report the first place. hand message.
