Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 241 The little old lady's satchel is a cornucopia?
Chapter 241 The little old lady's satchel is a cornucopia?
When she went out in the morning, Xu Deren was waiting at the door.
When they arrived at the county government office, Lin Tao presented seven house deeds.
The recording officer was dumbfounded.
"Seven Places? When did you buy it? Why did you come to register it today?"
The implication behind the words was that she was evading taxes.
While asking questions, he flipped through a pamphlet and checked it out.
Xu Deren told the whole story, and the recording officer did not find any missing payment, so she was registered.
According to the law, when a property changes ownership and is registered, no matter how long the previous owner has paid taxes, the new owner must pay one year's worth of taxes on the day of registration.
Lin Tao also didn't expect that she only spent one thousand one hundred and twenty taels to buy the house.
This tax will cost as much as four hundred taels!
Four hundred taels! You can buy two small courtyards!
Fortunately, she didn't want the land deed given by Jian Xiunan. To put it bluntly, she couldn't afford it!
It is true that exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are as fierce as tigers!
And according to this calculation, if she buys a few more houses, she will have to pay thousands of taels of tax per year alone.
Haha, no wonder when we entered the city gate yesterday, the clerk said that the Jian family had received a lot of money from them!
One land deed covers several mountains!
If you don’t have a treasury at home, you will be worried about the taxes you have to pay every year!
After she complained internally for a short while, the registrar got tired of waiting.
"No money? You couldn't have stolen this house deed, right? Looking at how you're dressed, you don't look like someone who can afford more than a thousand taels of silver!"
Xu Deren hurriedly put on a smile and took it out of his arms.
Lin Tao snorted coldly, took out two gold ingots and a few silver corners from the satchel on her waist, and threw them on the table.
The registrar looked down and examined the gold ingot.
Xu Deren, who was used to seeing it, couldn't help but get curious. Is the little old lady's satchel a treasure trove?
Otherwise... the little old lady's gold can give birth to cubs?
You know, in all these years of running a shop, I have never seen so much gold!
After checking again and again, the registrar accepted the gold, wrote a line of words on the booklet, stamped it with a small seal, and asked Lin Tao to put his fingerprint on the words.
After the matter was done, Xu Deren led her out.
When I walked to the county government office, I happened to bump into the officers and soldiers coming back from outside.
What a coincidence, it was the little official who was guarding the city yesterday again.
"Come here! Arrest this man!"
Lin Tao was stunned.
Xu Deren is even more confused!
"Master, sir, we are just here to register and do other things! If I bump into you, please be patient! Don't act like a kid!"
The clerk pushed Xu Deren away.
Pointing at her, he said: "This person is a rebel! He is an accomplice of Xu Anzi! You'd better not have anything to do with her, otherwise I will go to jail with you!"
Xu Deren was dumbfounded.
How is it possible? Impossible!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Tao was pinched.
What a fuss! Yesterday, she and Jian Xiunan went to the city together. She thought that since the Jian family was so prestigious, this petty official would not cause trouble to her again.
She never thought that this kid would bite her like a female mosquito in autumn and wouldn’t let go!
"Shopkeeper Xu, could you please go to Jian's house."
Xu Deren nodded in panic, turned around and ran away.
The clerk smiled.
"Old woman, do you really take yourself seriously? Who are you from the Jian family? Is this a high branch that you, a country woman, can reach? Hahaha, it's not that I look down on you!"
After saying this with contempt, the clerk sent someone to screw her into the prison.
It is truly an incomplete time travel without any effort!
She also didn't expect that she would have such a day.
After entering the cell, Lin Tao opened her eyes.
The wailing is harsh and the stench is overwhelming.
There is no difference between men, women, old people and children! They are all locked up in the same place!
"Auntie? You, how come you were arrested too?"
If it weren't for the sound, Lin Tao wouldn't have believed that the person in front of her was Xu Anzi.
What's even more surprising is that she actually met Xu Anzi's family here!
Together with Xu Anzi's sister-in-law who was a comprador, they had more than a dozen families.
"She! Xiaoliu, is she the woman who put us in jail?"
"Sister-in-law! I was framed! It has nothing to do with Aunt Lin!"
"It doesn't matter! If she hadn't asked you to buy weapons, would our family be in the situation we are in now?"
"How many times in every year has no one done this? It's okay for others to do it, so why am I the only one who gets punished?"
"Then I don't care! Without her, our family wouldn't be like this!"
"Without her? Without her, how could our family have charcoal to exchange for food? How could dad's old problems be cured with money? Without her, our house would have been crushed by the snow! Now, I don't blame Aunt Lin for this! Weird
I blame myself for my bad luck, I was destined to have this disaster!"
"Bah! You accept your fate, why do you want a dozen of us as a family to suffer with you?"
The person who kept arguing with Xu Anzi was Xu Anzi's sister-in-law.
Lin Tao also didn't expect that her family would suffer because of the weapons she bought as a favor.
When Gongjiazhai met the refugees, it was thanks to those weapons that they were able to defend the village.
No matter how you calculate it, she owes Xu Anzi a favor!
Next door, after the two argued for a while, the woman was pulled away.
"Auntie, don't take it too seriously. Xiaoliu is worth his weight in this life. At worst, he will be a good man again in eighteen years! Beheading is just a big scar!"
"Anzi, I'm sorry for you. Don't worry, if the old woman can get out, she will definitely help you get out of here!"
Behind Xu Anzi, there was a burst of yelling and swearing.
"Bah! Who do you think you are? This county government is your home. You can come in when you want, and leave when you want? Oh, you are so loud, who are you fooling? You should take good care of our family, old man.
Why should I be buried with you, old and young?"
Xu Anzi smiled awkwardly at her, turned and walked away.
Lin Tao observed the environment.
If she were alone, it would be difficult to leave.
But dragging Xu Anzi's family of more than ten people is difficult!
If that doesn't work, she will go out on her own.
When the Xu family decides to behead her, she will go to the execution ground!
If he is exiled, he should be stopped halfway, or given more money, so that his family can live well in a new place.
While she was deep in thought, her cell door opened again.
"Come out!"
As soon as the prison guard finished speaking, the shouting and cursing beside him stopped abruptly.
"Auntie! Auntie, please save us! Just now, the little woman was talking nonsense. As long as you save us, the little woman will be punished!"
Lin Tao smiled at Xu Anzi: "Don't worry, I'm alive, but you can't die."
When I walked out of the prison, I could still hear the voice of Sister-in-law Xu Anzi.
The officers and soldiers who responded did not lead her in the direction in which she came, but instead walked towards the county government's back house.
Looking back, I didn’t have any enmity with anyone!
Don't you want to get her to a place where no one is around and do some dirty tricks?
Could it be that because I bought too many houses at once, I was noticed by others?
After thinking about it, this seems to be the most likely possibility.
After all, in times of famine, you can have everything except food and money.
And she happened to have both.
Not long after, she was taken to the door of a house.
