Chapter 25: Untold Money

Chapter 25 Ownerless Wealth

Author: Gao Yue

Chapter 25 Ownerless Wealth

Qiao Bin went home, and Li Ye took out the counter ticket from the envelope. The counter ticket was also called flying money. It was as big as a piece of A4 paper and had the words "Baoji Cabinet Fang Savings Counter Ticket" printed on it, as well as the amount.

Fifteen hundred coins, there are many grids below, which should be records of each money withdrawal. At the bottom is the proprietor's seal: 'Wang Yuanbao Seal!'

Wang Yuanbao was the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, and he was the God of Wealth worshiped by people in later generations.

Li Ye saw the token again, which was half a piece of jade. It should have been half left by the cabinet shop, which was equivalent to the password for withdrawing money.

"Ah Ye!" Pei Sanniang walked over quickly, holding a short sword in her hand.

"Is this what you hid in the kitchen?"

Li Ye scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Mom! This sword is good. I want to use it as a self-defense."

Swords to men in the Tang Dynasty were like guns in the beautiful country of later generations. Except for the lower class people in the Tang Dynasty, almost everyone wore a sword. Pei Sanniang thought that her son would really need a sword when he grew up.

She nodded, "This sword is good. I'll get the scabbard back later. You can keep it!"

Li Ye was overjoyed and hurriedly handed the counter ticket and jade pendant to his mother as if to please.

"This is the fifteen hundred coins sent by Manager Qiao just now. The jade pei is a token of money. Mom, please keep it."

Pei Sanniang had seen the world, and of course she knew that these were counter tickets, fifteen hundred dollars! She immediately beamed, put them into the envelope and put them away carefully.

"Mom, Wei Laizi is dead. He gave it to the county government as a corpse. The government has closed the case!"

Pei Sanniang's heart skipped a beat, as she had indeed guessed it. As soon as Wei Laizi died, her chance would come.

She looked to both sides and saw no one around her, so she whispered to Li Ye: "You and your mother are going to a place this afternoon!"

………

In the afternoon, Aunt Mu watched the craftsmen build the house. Pei Sanniang took Li Ye to Yankangfang. Li Ye had been here last time when he sought medical treatment, but today they did not come to Wang Jishen Medical Center, but to the place behind the Chang'an County Government Office.

An alley.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the alley, which is engraved with the name Three Doctors Alley, this is the alley.

The alley is very deep, and there are many people living in it. Most of them are not locals, but they come from all kinds of religions. The structure is very complicated. There is a person squatting in front of the door to eat, looking at the mother and son coldly.

But now that it's daytime, the alley is relatively quiet. At night, it's probably going to be lively.

Pei Sanniang found the second small courtyard on the right. There was a copper lock on the door, indicating that no one was home.

Pei Sanniang took out a key from her waist and opened the lock directly.

Li Ye was confused and followed his mother to open the door and enter the hospital.

Pei Sanniang closed the courtyard door, bolted the door, and then said to Li Ye, "This is Wei Zizi's home!"

Li Ye was refreshed, so he got the key from Wei Zizi. His mother's interrogation skills were amazing! She even found out where he lived.

There are only two rooms in the yard, and one room is filled with all kinds of rags and debris that he picked up. Wei Zizi used to pick up rags to hide his identity as a wanted criminal.

The other room was the bedroom. Pei Sanniang walked into the bedroom and said to Li Ye: "He said he would hide things by the bed. Let's look for them!"

"What will it be?"

"Nonsense! He doesn't have a penny on him. What do you think he could be?"

Li Ye suddenly realized that before the government could interrogate him, Wei Laizi died, and his money naturally became ownerless. No wonder his mother said in the morning that he would make a small fortune, which turned out to be Wei Laizi's property.

Li Ye's eyes were shining, and he hurriedly searched beside the bed, while Pei Sanniang was looking around the room for items. She found a sword in the suitcase, took it out, looked at it, and put it back.

"Mom, give me the sword!"

"If the quality is not good, it is not as good as your dagger!"

"I'll give it to Little Fatty!"

"Okay, take it with you when you leave. How are you? Did you find it?"

"I'm looking for!"

Li Ye lay down and looked inside the bed. Most people's beds are empty inside and are used to put money. There was also a lot of loose money in this bed. Li Ye put the money together and there were about three or four coins.

Pei Sanniang shook her head, "That's not it. If you put the bed up, it should be underneath!"

Li Ye erected the bed, and he and Pei Sanniang saw a stone slab at the same time.

"This is it!"

Pei Sanniang stepped forward and removed the stone slab. There was a pottery jar buried in the soil below. Li Ye was about to reach out, but Pei Sanniang stopped him, "Be careful there is a snake inside!"

Li Ye was startled, "Will there be a snake?"

"This kind of criminal thief takes great care of his money!"

Pei Sanniang picked it with a wooden stick, and sure enough, she picked out a small green snake, which she trampled to death. Li Ye was horrified at the sight, because he was so inexperienced.

She waited for a moment to make sure there was no danger, then put on her deerskin gloves and reached into the clay pot.

Li Ye was so impressed that it was not easy for his mother to remain poor despite being so capable!

Soon, Pei Sanniang took out twenty-five ingots of silver and three ingots of gold, all of which were twelve ingots, as well as several pieces of gold jewelry inlaid with jewels.

One tael of gold costs ten guan, and thirty taels is equivalent to 300 guan. Adding in silver, the total is equivalent to 550 guan, not counting gold jewelry.

"He is a big thief, and he only has this little money?" Li Ye felt a little dissatisfied.

"Absolutely! People like them spend a lot of money. It's precisely because they are running out of money that they take over Hu Jing's business."

Pei Sanniang didn't want anything less. She took a bamboo suitcase, packed it with copper coins, gold, silver and jewelry, and ordered her son to restore the bed to its original state. Li Ye took the sword, and the mother and son quickly left the alley.

………

Before midnight, Li Ye arrived at the backyard of the temple. Before Zhang Xiaopang arrived, he saw Pei Min standing by the river with his hands behind his back.

Logically speaking, Pei Min shouldn't be here tonight, but he appears now, obviously because of what happened last night.

He bravely stepped forward and saluted, "My nephew, meet your uncle!"

"What happened at your house last night?" Pei Min turned around and asked with bright eyes.

Sure enough, he found out, and Li Ye said helplessly: "I was avenged!"

"who?"

"Guanshi Hu from Prince Si Ning's Mansion!"

Li Ye did not hide anything, so he told Hu Jing that he had offended Hu Jing by playing polo, warned Qi Yong, and made preparations himself. Finally, he caught Wei Zizi and told Pei Min in detail.

"Wei Zizi is a gangster with great martial arts skills. If you can't catch him, your mother will take action?"

Li Ye nodded, and Pei Min pondered for a moment and said: "Since your mother took action, I won't do anything. I just remind you that making friends with powerful people is a double-edged sword. It can help you make progress, but it can also make you die."

Unfortunately, you are still young and don’t understand the dangers here, so stay as far away as possible.”

Of course Li Ye understands Pei Min's good intentions, but any opportunity is also a risk. You cannot give up an opportunity because you are afraid of the risk, nor can you ignore the risk for the sake of opportunity. This requires a balance.

If you have enough psychological endurance, then don't be afraid of risks, fight in the wind and rain, and seize the opportunities that fate gives you.

He has more than a thousand years of experience than people of this era, and he believes that he will not let down the arrangements given to him by fate!

But no matter what, Li Ye was still grateful for his uncle's kindness, "My nephew will remember it, thank you uncle for reminding me!"

Pei Min suddenly remembered his great-aunt's evaluation of Li Ye, 'This son is an extraordinary person and should not be treated as such!'

Pei Min nodded, "Okay! You decide for yourself."
