Chapter 9: Like a loyal and treacherous brother Wu Xiandi

Views:

"Ji'er, I told you for my father that Brother Wu Xian is a rare good person..."

Kou Li hadn't noticed Kou Ji's mood changes at all, and he was still telling himself about that Wu Xiandi where he was.

Kou Ji didn't want to continue listening. He interrupted Kou Li's words and asked, "So you owed a gambling debt, so you stole your grandfather's rhino belt and sold it?"

Kou Li was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I didn't sell it. I just took the rhinoceros to the pawn shop for my father, and he was still alive. As long as he collected enough money, he could redeem it.

"Live it? Can there be a ticket?"

"Yes, yes..."

Kou Li fumbled around, took out a pawn ticket, and handed it to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji took the ticket, and took a closer look, it said.

'Rhinoceros belt is worth a thousand guan, the price is four hundred guan, pawned in Donglai pawn shop, for ten days. '

This is a live ticket.

Pawn shops are generally divided into two types.

One is to live, the other is to die.

To live is tantamount to temporarily mortgaged to a pawnshop, and to die is tantamount to being sold to a pawnshop.

The former can be redeemed after maturity, but the latter cannot be redeemed, which is a one-shot deal.

It's just that there is obviously this loophole in this decent ticket in Coley's hands.

First, the word rhino belt is somewhat general. Different rhino species produce different skins, and the skins of different parts of the rhinoceros have different values.

The most expensive rhino belt can be worth about 100,000 Guan.

The cheapest rhino belt, but its value is not perfect.

It can be judged from Kou Zhun's attitude towards their father and son that the rhino belt that Kou Li pawned was not an ordinary rhino belt.

The pawn shop just used the word rhinoceros to be ambiguous.

If Cole took the money to redeem it, he might not be able to get the original rhino belt.

At this point, Coulee was deceived.

Second, the time limit for the redemption is stipulated on the ticket, but the amount of money to be paid for the redemption is not stated.

Although the pawnshop has the rules of the pawnshop, it is not indicated on the pawn ticket. If people are shameless, Kouley will be helpless.

Even if it is brought to the government office, it is difficult to win the lawsuit.

Kou Ji took the ticket and said helplessly to Kou Li: "Father, you..."

Such obvious loopholes, Kou Ji did not believe Kou Li could not see.

Hearing this, Kou Li patted his chest and said, "Ji'er, don't worry, Wu Xiandi will be the guarantee for this matter, and there will be no mistakes."

Kou Ji shook his head and sighed.

Someone guarantees it, and the process can naturally be simplified.

But what if the guarantor turns around in the end

This matter is really as simple as Kou Li said. Wang Shu, a third-ranking member, said that even if he came forward, he might not be able to complete the matter.

Before, Kou Ji only had doubts about the Wu Xiandi mentioned by Kou Li, but now Kou Ji can almost conclude that there is a problem with the Wu Xiandi mentioned by Kou Li.

That Wu Xiandi didn't know what tactics were used to deceive Colie into him very convinced.

Even if Kou Ji told Kou Li that there was a problem with that Wu Xiandi, Kou Li might not believe it.

He quietly put away the ticket, and continued to ask: "Father, I don't know who you are, Wu Xiandi, who is your last name and what kind of identity is there?"

Kou Li said, "Brother Wu Xian is like his father, he is a scholar in Taixue, and his name is Wu Ming. His brother Wu Xian is a servant of Yushitai."

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.

Shi Yushi, official residence from the sixth grade.

Compared to Yushi, Yushi doctor, Yushi Zhongcheng, it is slightly inferior.

But that was also a noble official, and he could be regarded as the kind of person who could speak in the court.

In terms of the right to speak, it is a bit more than those of the third- and fourth-ranks sent abroad.

Kou Ji silently wrote down the two names, and then asked: "Father, which gambling shop is you going to play money with?"

"Ziqi Gambling House!"

"Ziqi Gambling House?"

Kou Ji was taken aback, and the corners of his mouth twitched and asked, "Ziqi Gambling Shop, Donglai Pawn Shop, are they on the same street?"

Kou Li took it for granted: "The Ziqi Gambling House is right next to the Donglai Pawn Shop. It is said that the owner of the Donglai Pawn Shop at that time saw the Ziqi Gambling House next door and worked hard. I named the pawn shop Donglai. The meaning of Ziqi Donglai is to make his business as prosperous as the Ziqi Gambling House."

Hearing this, Kou Ji no longer knew what to say.

Because from Coulee’s words, Coulee judged that Coulee was probably more than just being deceived by others.

It is very likely that this will be one game from beginning to end.

A bureau for Kou Li.

Of course, this round was set on Coulee, but the person behind it was definitely not Coulee.

With Coulee's status, it is not enough to let the family set up a bureau to deal with him.

The person behind, the real plan, must be Kou Zhun.

The Wu Xiandi mentioned by Kou Li must be the key figure in the game.

From Kou Li’s making friends with classmates in Taixue, to being taken out like a fireworks willow alley, entering a gambling shop to make a fortune, to debts, stealing rhino belts for sale, all of the above, there is the shadow of Wu Xiandi .

Since they are Kou Li deliberately calculating, they must deal with everything cleanly.

Kou Ji wants to deal with this matter, I am afraid it will not be easy.

Kou Ji thought about the countermeasures, and asked again: "Father, do you know what is special about the rhino belt of grandfather?"

Kou Li tilted his head, thought about it carefully, and said, "My father remembers that your grandfather said that the rhino belt was rewarded by Taizong, and it was made of the skin horn of a rhinoceros..."

Kou Li looked at Kou Ji, wondering: "What's wrong? What are you asking about this?"

Kou Ji had a calculation in mind, and casually dealt with it, "Nothing..."

Kou Ji chatted with Kou Li again, then found an excuse and left the ancestral hall.

Out of the ancestral hall door.

Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief, and nodded to the second treasure who looked at him eagerly.

Turning to Kou Zhong, who was waiting on the side, said: "Help me withdraw money, I want to leave the house."

Kou Zhong bowed and said: "If you go back to the young master, my uncle promises that your money is ready, and the chief accountant has already taken the money and is waiting at the gate of the mansion."

Kou Ji nodded and took Erbao to the gate of the mansion.

When I walked to the gate of the mansion, I saw a sturdy man with a huge coat on his back, standing at the gate waiting.

The man was dressed in a full-length suit, and the underclothes on his chest were bulging, and his shoulders were a little short.

In this era where copper coins are the mainstream currency.

Twenty pennies of copper coins, close to 20,000 wen, weighing about 20 kilograms, are heavy on the body.

Twenty catties of copper coins were pressed on Erbao, and Erbao could be bent and walked.

If Kou Ji held it, he would probably be bent over.

No wonder the accountant has to send a long follower to follow.
