Chapter 115, everything is ready, please enter the urn
This is the title deed and house deed of Xiyi Zhai.
It was clearly written on it. In addition to the name of the buyer, there were even official documents on it, as well as the names of several witnesses, and even official documents. All formalities were complete.
The seller's name is Yu Lanxuan. Xiyi Zhai originally belonged to Yu Lanxuan, and it should also be included in the dowry. Although only half of Yu Lanxuan's dowry went to Xin Kangbo Mansion, these deeded shops and the like would have been brought here personally by Yu Lanyan
, there is no half meaning.
Chu Zihan looked at the two documents in his hands in silence, speechless for a while.
"Your Majesty, when I followed the county king, I saw this kind of land deed. There was no name of the buyer on it. There was a rumor before that the county king secretly sold the shop. It turned out to be this kind of thing. This is great. Now it's down.
If it is in the hands of the Crown Prince, it belongs to the Crown Prince."
Hong Xi said happily, approaching eagerly, pointing to the empty buyer's name: "Your Majesty, you can also fill in your name on this to indicate that this is given to you by the county prince."
"It doesn't need to be like this, it's good." Chu Zihan said gently, his eyes falling on Hong Xi approvingly, "Fortunately you found this thing, go down and receive the reward!"
"Your Majesty, I don't want any rewards." Hong Xi knelt down with a plop.
"Why don't you want a reward?" Chu Zihan raised his eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty, I have no master now... I just want to follow your son. I am now an ordinary maid in Xin Kangbo's mansion." Hong Xi's tears fell and she sobbed. She was pretty and pretty, and her eyes were filled with tears.
He looked very pleasant, and now he looked at Chu Zihan sadly, with a lot of affection.
"Then you... just follow me from now on!" Chu Zihan smiled slightly and raised his hand slightly.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, thank you so much, Your Majesty." Hong Xi was overjoyed and stretched out her hand to take Chu Zihan's hand to stand up, but Chu Zihan's hand retracted.
She had no choice but to stand up helplessly, and stood behind Chu Zihan with a shy look. From now on, she could raise her head and live in the Xinkangbo Mansion. She is the son of Xinkangbo, and those who have been looking down on her these past few days
Who else dares to mock her?
Finally she got what she wanted, the Crown Prince finally saw her, Hong Xi felt waves of joy in her heart, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, unable to hide the intense impulse in her heart.
"This kind of contract was established by your county prince before?" Chu Zihan didn't pay attention to the emotion of a maid, his eyes fell on the two pieces of paper in front of him again, and he asked cautiously.
Hong Xi hurriedly suppressed the excitement in her heart: "Your Majesty, the county king has never sold or bought before. I don't know how the county king bought and sold before."
"Since I never bought it, why did I suddenly buy the store?" This is what Chu Zihan was puzzled about. He didn't let Yu Lanxuan notice it before he paid for it himself. Why did Yu Lanxuan behave like this?
"I don't know." Hong Xi suppressed the joy in her heart and said cautiously, "But the seller's signature on it is indeed the signature of our county king. In the past, the county kings always wrote like this. This word is the county king's handwriting.
.”
"I don't know? Did your county prince do anything unusual before?" Chu Zihan frowned. The Yu Lanxuan in his memory was different from ordinary women. Among the girls in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, she was the only one who saw him.
He was very indifferent when he met, and he was very normal to his fiancée. He treated each other with courtesy during the few times they met, and left after not saying a few words.
Chu Zihan actually didn't understand Yu Lanxuan.
Although Hong Xi's affirmation dispelled some of his doubts, he still asked a few more questions in confusion.
"No...any other unusual things. Just serve Madam as usual." Hong Xi's heart clicked. In the last month, she had already gone to serve Yu Lanyan and was not with Yu Lanxuan at all. How could she know about Yu Lanxuan?
Will there be any abnormal behavior?
It was inconvenient to say this to Chu Zihan now. Hong Xi felt anxious and uneasy. She always felt that some important news had been missed.
I regret that I left early, otherwise I would be more able to please the prince now.
Chu Zihan looked at the two contracts in his hand again, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. The more money, the better, and what he was talking about at that time was the entire dowry. Not to mention half of it was missing, and many big heads were missing, as he expected.
Chu Zihan was unwilling to lose so much, but something happened to Yu Lanyan again, and he had no reason to ask for the remaining dowry.
Chu Zihan was also in a state of trouble because of Yu Lanyan's affairs. He knew only a little about the owner of Yu Lanxuan's shop, so he had some free time and was about to investigate the matter. Unexpectedly, the land deed and house deed actually fell into his hands.
It’s an unexpected surprise!
"Hongxi, please step back first!" Chu Zihan said.
Hong Xi wanted to say something else, but seeing that Chu Zihan's attention was not on her, she could only retreat helplessly, and then stood next to the boy outside the door. She was now considered the prince's personal maid, and could stay with the boy.
serve.
The boy looked at Hong Xi and didn't understand why Hong Xi was standing there. He was about to speak when he saw Chu Zihan coming out and walking out. The boy hurriedly followed. Hong Xi also wanted to follow but Chu Zihan said, "Stay here."
"Get off." He bit his mouth in grievance, but he didn't dare to follow him.
Chu Zihan rushed out and went out. Since he had the proof, he was sure to ask for it. It was better to do it sooner rather than later. Otherwise, it would be easy for things to change and be noticed by the Xuanping Hou Mansion. But even if he had to come forward in this matter, he was not suitable. He had to find someone more suitable.
The only one who takes action is...
"Girl, the two contracts have disappeared. It's the maid named Hongxi." When Manager Qi came up to report, Yu Xijiao had already been sitting in the private room for a while.
There were two contracts originally placed on the table in the private room, but now they are gone.
Manager Qi deliberately asked the accountant to secretly bring in the contract when Hong Xi came over, and everything that happened after that was exactly what the girl expected.
"There's no rush, let's go down first! People from the Ministry of Justice will come over in a while, and you can bring them in." Yu Xi said softly. When he saw Hong Xi, Manager Qi sent someone to invite Yu Xijiao.
Yu Xijiao also arranged the follow-up matters.
"People from the Ministry of Justice are coming? Girl, what's the reason?" Manager Qi was stunned, and his face changed drastically. People who do business are very concerned about the government officials.
"It's okay, something happened here. I'll ask someone from the government office to come and check it out. You don't need to worry about it." Yu Xijiao smiled lightly and shook her hand, looking calm.
Seeing her like this, Steward Qi breathed a sigh of relief, stepped back from the door, asked the waiter to refill the tea, and then went downstairs to wait.
The wait didn't take long, and soon a petty official came over with a few government servants.
Manager Qi had been waiting there for a long time and hurriedly came forward: "Is your Excellency from the Ministry of Punishment?"
"Exactly." The petty official in front was a young man who looked very majestic.
"Our master is the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion. She reported the case before, and is now waiting for you." Manager Qi pointed upward.
The young man nodded and led the yamen servant up. All the women passing by on the road stepped back in panic. It seemed that something was going on. But when he saw the manager Qi next to him with a smile, it didn't look like the store owner was in trouble. Fortunately,
These government officials did not disturb the people. After they went up, the people who stayed behind began to point and look up curiously.
I was planning to leave, but I wasn't in a hurry to leave at this time. I stayed here to look at the goods more and see if anything happened.
In the private room upstairs, a bead curtain fell in the middle. Yu Xijiao stood behind the bead curtain. When she saw the young official coming in, Yu Xijiao stood up and bowed sideways.
Through the beaded curtain, I could faintly see the robes on the young officials. He should be a member of the Ministry of Justice. Yu Zhongyang was a member of the Ministry of Personnel. The clothes and robes were similar and the rank was similar.
Qingyue brought a chair over, placed it outside the bead curtain, and said respectfully: "Sir, please sit down."
"You're welcome, Third Miss Yu." Seeing Yu Xijiao's faintly saluting figure behind the bead curtain, Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, said politely, sat down on a chair in the middle, and said straight to the point: "I heard that Miss Yu Third
Send someone to the Ministry of Punishment to report that something extremely important has been lost, and ask us to send someone to Xiyi Zhai."
Originally, this matter was not the responsibility of Yuan Wai Lang, but now some people from the Ministry of Punishment were sent to the gate of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. Others had official duties of their own and could not send anyone else for a while. The Yuan Wai Lang who stayed in the Ministry of Punishment could only
If you can take a trip by yourself, come over and see what's going on.
"Sir, someone made a fake." Yu Xijiao also sat down and told her bluntly.
"Fake? What do you mean? Miss Yu, please tell me clearly." Wailang, a member of the Criminal Department, said solemnly.
"Sir, please take a look." Yu Xijiao pointed to the table. There were two pieces of paper on the table. Qingyue took two steps forward, took the paper and handed it over.
Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, checked carefully and found that all the official documents were there, as well as the seals on them, but there was no buyer's name on them.
"Sir, this is the contract that Mr. Lanxuan County bought for me. It contains the contract of the shop and the land deed. In addition to the current one, there are several others like this." Yu Xi told the story of the matter in a soft voice.
I went through it again, starting from the time when she was in Jiangnan and wanted to go to Beijing. Her grandmother was worried that she would have no support in Beijing alone, so she helped her buy a shop before entering Beijing.
Until now, these shops all belong to her.
Finally, he added: "If you don't believe it, you can verify it. There are official documents in the yamen that can be authenticated, and the official seals of the yamen can also be matched."
The official seal that governs matters such as house sales is not a big and particularly important official seal. He can still handle it as a Yuanwailang. When he saw that this young Yuanwailang was also a clerk, he immediately called a yamen servant and asked him to do so.
He went to the Ministry of Punishment to call for this official seal and asked if these two were genuine.
The yamen officer left, and the story continues here.
"Miss Yu, if you are real, how did you find out that it was fake?" Yuanwailang raised the two pieces of paper in his hand and continued to ask.
"Does your Excellency know about the affairs of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion and Xin Kang Bo Mansion?" Yu Xijiao smiled bitterly and said.
This matter has become such a big deal that no one in the capital is unaware of it. The Zhengyuan Hou Mansion is now under surveillance because it was involved in the assassination of Prince Qi. Many people feel that the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion is in a hurry.
Unfavorable, it must have collided with some Tai Sui, and it must be worshiped properly.
"I know."
"This matter has to start with the marriage between the two families." Yu Xijiao then slowly revealed the reason...
