Zhong Huan borrowed two contracts signed with Liu Gui's name and left the county government. He finally began to realize that there was something strange in this. His Highness King Yong would not let them investigate for no reason. His Highness King Yong must have sensed something was wrong.
Zhong Huan found Zhuangzhai Yaren who was responsible for the intermediary. Private transactions were not allowed when buying and selling houses in the Song Dynasty. They had to go through Zhuangzhai Yaren as an intermediary. However, Zhuangzhai Yaren was not something ordinary people could do. They had to register with the county government to obtain qualifications.
, that is, only after obtaining a dental license can you engage in real estate transactions.
House sales contracts are also obtained from the government and numbered. After each contract is established, it must be filed with the government and taxes must be paid before the land deed or house deed can be replaced, and the transaction is considered completed.
If you enter into a yin and yang contract and deliberately evade taxes, once you are found out, the consequences will be very serious. Needless to say, both the buyer and seller will be heavily fined for paying back taxes, and the Zhuangzhaiya people will also have their qualifications revoked and lose their jobs.
It is also for this reason that there are relatively few frauds in real estate transactions. The main reason is that it is difficult to obtain the qualifications of Zhuangzhaiya people. Of course, they are not willing to ruin their jobs for a small profit.
The person in charge of the transaction of this shop is from Zhuangzhaiya. His surname is Dai. Everyone calls him Dai Laoqi. He is in his thirties, thin and well-spoken. He is a Zhuangzhaiya person for three generations. With the help of the reputation and credibility accumulated by his father and ancestors,
Dai Laoqi was very famous in this industry. He opened a dental shop of his own and hired seven or eight young dentists to specialize in real estate transactions.
Zhong Huan led two of his men to find Dai Laoqi in Yahang. Dai Laoqi heard that the inner guards were looking for him, and his legs were so frightened that his legs became weak. The inner guards had a reputation for being vicious and attacked Bashu and Jinghu South Road.
During the period, the inner guards killed countless people, so much so that even children on Bashu and Jinghu South Road did not dare to cry at night when the inner guards were mentioned.
Of course, Dai Laoqi has been a little nervous in the past two days. Since he made the deal with Yi'an Teahouse, he has received a commission of two hundred and forty dollars. The key is that he can become famous. Dai Laoqi is really proud, but
To his surprise, the "Beijing News" did not publish the transaction the next day. You must know that this transaction will definitely make the front page headlines, but there is no clue at all. Instead, there are small transactions of hundreds of dollars.
It's all in the newspapers.
Dai Laoqi felt a little guilty in his heart. He also realized that the lack of reporting in the newspaper might have something to do with the princess. The owner of Yi'an Tea House was actually the princess.
Until the internal guards found him, he immediately thought that it must be related to the huge transaction the day before yesterday.
Dai Laoqi invited Zhong Huan to the back room and stood there nervously. Zhong Huan said in a gentle tone: "I came to you because of the transaction the day before yesterday. You should know which transaction I am referring to!"
Dai Laoqi nodded, "I know!"
"You don't need to be nervous. The county government has told me that the transaction the day before yesterday was reasonable and legal and has been completed. I will not ask you to ask about the transaction today."
Dai Laoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "I wonder what assistance I can provide to the general?"
“I’m here to get to know the buyer!”
Zhong Huan took out the contract and asked, "The buyer's name is Liu Gui, right?"
"Yes, his name is Liu Gui."
"Do you know this person?"
Dai Laoqi shook his head, "The first time I met this person, he was introduced by the shopkeeper Liu Da of the restaurant."
Dai Laoqi's expression suddenly changed, and he reacted suddenly, "Oh! That's not right! Shopkeeper Liu Da seems to be also called Liu Gui."
Zhong Huan said lightly: "Did you just find out now?"
Dai Laoqi nodded in horror, "The villain doesn't know what's going on. Why do they have the same name?"
"First tell me, who is Liu Gui who signed the contract? How did the big shopkeeper introduce him to you? Is he the proprietor?"
Dai Laoqi shook his head, "I didn't say he was the proprietor, I just said this person has full power to make the decision."
"Where is this person from? Where is he now?" Zhong Huan asked again and again.
"This man's accent is Bianliang Mandarin. I don't know where he lives. Shopkeeper Liu Da brought him here."
Zhong Huan put away the contract and asked, "Think about it again, are there any other clues you can provide me with?"
Dai Laoqi thought for a while and said: "General, you can go to Baoji Cabinet to check. The money was finally delivered at Baoji Cabinet. Where did the counter note of 120,000 guan come from? Baoji Cabinet should have records.
.”
"Which treasure store? The one on Zhuque Street?"
"Exactly!"
Although the name of Zhuque Street in the Song Dynasty did not change, it was no longer the extremely wide Central Street in the Tang Dynasty. It was still the central axis of Jingzhao City, but the square walls disappeared and shops were built along the streets on both sides.
Baoji Cabinet Shop has three stores in Jingzhao City, the largest one is located on Zhuque Street.
No one dared to neglect the investigation of the case by the inner guards. The chief shopkeeper of Baoji Cabinet also respectfully invited Zhong Huan to the inner hall. Not long after, a steward hurriedly walked in and handed a counter ticket to the chief shopkeeper.
The big shopkeeper handed the counter ticket to Zhong Huan and said with a smile: "The money in this counter ticket has been transferred, so the counter ticket has been cancelled. General, please take a look."
Zhong Huan looked at the counter ticket. The amount on it was 120,000 yuan. The header was a high-value counter ticket from Baoji. Zhong Huan knew that this kind of counter ticket was very strict. It was made in triplicate. The bank kept one copy when it was issued.
The other copy must be sent to the counter where the money is withdrawn together with the jade test and password. When withdrawing money, the two counter tickets must be exactly the same, the half jade pendant must also fit together, and the password must be the same, even if the money is not withdrawn in person.
It’s also possible, the counter will recognize the ticket but not the person.
So there is basically no problem. Zhong Huan asked: "Where did the counter ticket come from?"
"It was opened by Pingjiang Mansion."
Pingjiang Prefecture is Suzhou, and the original owner of Taibai Restaurant was in Suzhou.
Zhong Huan asked again: "Can you find out who deposited the money?"
The big shopkeeper shook his head, "The Pingjiang Mansion may be able to find out, but I definitely don't know. We only recognize the votes but not the people. We don't even know the name of the bearer who came to hand over the money. We just know
The party receiving the money, but this is confidential, so we can’t tell you.”
"Okay! Can you lend me this counter ticket for investigation?"
"If it is a loan, there is no problem. It has been written off anyway, but General Zhong will return it to us before the end of the year, and we must hand it over to the Lin'an Head Office at the beginning of next year."
"Okay! I will return it to you before the end of the year."
Zhong Huan wrote an IOU, put the counter ticket into the file bag, stood up and left.
The big shopkeeper watched Zhong Huan go away. He immediately called a confidant and whispered: "Hurry up to Taibai Restaurant and inform shopkeeper Liu that the internal guards have begun to investigate the details of the proprietor."
After coming out of the counter shop, Zhong Huan returned to the office to sort out the results of the day's investigation. The biggest suspicion was that he found three Liu Gui. The big shopkeeper of Taibai Restaurant is named Liu Gui. The person who signed the contract the day before yesterday is also named Liu Gui. The original purchaser
The person who works at Taibai Restaurant is also named Liu Gui, but Zhonghuan does not have the handwriting and fingerprints of the shopkeeper Liu Da of Taibai Restaurant. He cannot be sure whether Liu Gui who bought the land of Taibai Restaurant is the shopkeeper Liu Da.
Secondly, he got two more gains in the cabinet. One is that the owner of Taibai Restaurant is in Pingjiang Mansion. Pingjiang Mansion is one of the core areas of the Song Dynasty. The royal relatives and wealthy businessmen who escaped from Bianliang live in Pingjiang Mansion.
There are many rumors. It is said that the owner of Taibai Restaurant is one of the four major grain merchants in Bianliang, and Pingjiang Prefecture is an important grain producing area. It is logical that the Liu family fled to Pingjiang Prefecture.
Second, the second gain of the counter shop is that the other party issued a counter ticket for 120,000 guan, and Yi'an Tea House closed the transaction for 120,000 guan. Is this just a coincidence, or has the other party been prepared to pay such a sum of money?
Of course, the survey results are not necessarily a bad thing. It shows that the wealthy families in the Northern Song Dynasty began to be optimistic about Jingzhao's future and began to gradually transfer their money. One of the best ways was to purchase real estate and land.
After much deliberation, Zhong Huan decided to visit the boss of Taibai Restaurant early tomorrow morning.
