Chapter 1112 A big loss for petty gain
The family also knew that Cao Jinteng's eldest brother was Lord Zuo, the Minister of the Household Department, so they were afraid that people in the yamen would turn to Cao Jinteng, and in the end, the son would suffer, and the money would be spent, so they agreed directly.
The reason why did not spread in the capital was because the racecourse was 30 miles away from the city, and the family asked Cao Jinteng not to talk about it, giving them three days to collect the compensation money.
They were in a hurry to sell their Zhuangzi and shops. The reason why they didn't let them talk about it was that they knew that even if they sold their property, they would not be able to collect the 30,000 taels of silver.
That's why I came up with such a bad move. First, I sold the house where their family lived, and let the wife of the family leave the capital with the children first. I just made an agreement with the person who bought the house, and don't disclose it to the outside world.
Only then did the servants in the family go out and talk. Because the elders in the family were sick, Zhuangzi and the shop went to take out cheaply. Using the same method, they deceived several families, and the money was deceived.
The money, plus the money for selling the house and the money saved in the family, made up 23,000 taels, and then sent the land deeds and house deeds of the three villages and two shops to the Cao Mansion. Thirty thousand is enough.
Originally, the people sent by the Cao family to watch over them reported that they were selling the shop and Zhuangzi, but they did not expect that the Zhuangzi and the shop would also pay compensation.
The Cao family saw that the compensation had been delivered, and they didn't care what the family was doing, they just said that it was okay.
And after the family came out of Cao Mansion, they rode out of the city right before the city gate fell. When the buyers arrived in the morning, they saw that the shop was locked and waited in front of the door.
didn't take it seriously at first, but no one came to open the door, and now he panicked.
Just when they were thinking of looking for someone at home, someone in the crowd said that the house had been sold a few days ago, and everyone blew up.
But right at this moment, the servants of Cao’s house came over and said that they were here to collect the shops. After everyone knew the ins and outs, they realized that they had been deceived.
Now the deceived people are all excited, and the crowd of onlookers is also booing.
The scene went out of control all of a sudden.
The soldiers and horses arrived, and the situation was brought under control.
Some of the deceived households collapsed and burst into tears. This is all the money saved by the family to frugally and frugally. I didn't expect that greed for petty cheapness would suffer a big loss.
The people of Bing Ma Si also sympathized with these people, but after some inquiries, no one knew the details of the family, and they had no idea where the family went?
I checked the household registration, and the family did not have a road guide at all.
Things came to a deadlock all of a sudden.
But the family has disappeared now. It is very likely that they had prepared in advance and applied for other household registrations, but they searched for a long time and found nothing.
They would never have imagined that the man had committed a crime in his hometown, so he ran out, paid out money to replace someone else's household registration, and then arrived in the capital.
Later, when he made foreign money, he married an orphan girl in the countryside of the capital, and slowly accumulated these family fortunes.
Many years ago, when he went out to buy goods, he ran into mountain bandits, but at that time he rolled down the hillside and escaped by luck. When he climbed up, he found that the bandits had left, leaving only the few killed. human corpse.
He did a good job once, and found a dirt cliff and buried those people on the spot. All the money on those people was taken away by the bandits, and the rest of the worthless things were thrown on the ground.
When he was cleaning up, he found the household registration and road guide of those people, and put it away, but he didn't expect it to come in handy this time.
Dear friends, a friend has come from afar. Sonoko has just returned. I owe two chapters. I will try to make up for it tomorrow. Good night!
