Chapter 18 Buying and Selling Illegal Salt

By the time Mr. Zhao heard that the Wei family had agreed to the separation of the family, Lin Xing had already written the deed of separation, which listed the Zhao family's property in a detailed manner and clearly calculated the business of the first house and the second house.

"You've only been here a few days, how could you know so clearly?" The old man's eyes were dazzled, and he pointed at the deed in front of Lin Xing and asked.

"Do you still need to ask? Of course it's because the master has prepared it in advance." Lin Xing bent her eyes and smiled like spring, "The master just needs to sign here, and the second bedroom and the second bedroom will be separated from now on, and you can live with your baby

My son will live a good life."

Mr. Zhao looked strange, but he was not as resistant as Mr. Wei. When he saw that the shop for the second bedroom listed in the deed was on the best street in Yuzhou City, he felt completely at ease and held the pen tightly.

He has not been in charge of business for many years, and most of the Zhao family's properties have prospered only under Zhao Yi's care.

Even because Zhao Yi once gambled and lost the entire Zhao family, the Zhao family's shop later had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhao also knows very well that once the family is separated, he will not get anything good.

But Lin Xing was quite discerning and gave the best shops in Taihe Street to him and Zhao Jing.

As for other shops, Mr. Zhao doesn't care.

Since Zhao Yi's death, those shops have not lasted long in his hands. Even if he kept them, he would not be able to make a lot of money, not to mention that he himself embezzled a lot of money from the shops. Those shops are now leaking holes. What are they used for?

It can't be blocked.

Seeing Lin Xing's leisurely look, Mr. Zhao sneered in his heart. When he actually signed the deed of dividing the family, it would only be Lin Xing who regretted it!

"Since you said so, I will sign it. If you have a bad life in the future, don't blame me." He sneered and picked up the pen to sign.

But before the pen was written down, two people outside suddenly shouted: "Madam, it's bad! The shopkeeper of the shop in the east of the city said that there were errors in the accounts, and 50,000 taels did not match..."

"There was also a problem with the shop in the west of the city. Someone misappropriated 30,000 taels of silver..."

"Seven thousand taels of cash have been misappropriated from the store in the south of the city. Now we can't pay for the goods. The material dealer is coming!"

Wave after wave of people gathered in front of Zhao's house.

The eyes of the people who were watching the good show suddenly lit up, and they made way for these shopkeepers to go in and explain their words clearly.

Until the shopkeepers of all the shops gathered together, without exception, they were all forced to find them because the shop's silver had been misappropriated and the holes they owed could not be plugged.

"No wonder that old guy agreed to sign so easily. It turns out that the Zhao family's money has been emptied by him a long time ago!"

"This little lady is in quite a miserable condition. How can I fill up the holes in her body?"

Wei, who was still sick just now and looked like she was about to faint, now heard that there were holes in the shop that could not be repaired, and she suddenly became happy and forced Lin Xing to sign the deed.

"Just now you said you wanted to separate the family. Don't you want to admit it now?" Wei said aggressively.

Lin Xingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, her eyebrows swept lightly, "You can also ask me to sign, and tell me who misappropriated those silver coins."

After she finished speaking, seeing that Mr. Zhao was about to deny it, she continued: "If you tell the truth, I will not pursue these matters anymore. If you don't tell me, I will go to the government and let the government decide the case personally."

The Wei family had just received a ban from the government, and now they refused to go there no matter what.

She looked at Mr. Zhao and asked, "Did you misappropriate it?"

"What is misappropriation? That's my Zhao family's shop, how about using a little money!" Old Mrs. Zhao said with a pinched neck and spittle flying around.

As soon as these words came out, the people watching the show outside couldn't help but gasp.

It’s really unkind to be rich and disrespectful to be old!

"Is Zhao Jie really his grandson? Even if you don't think about your daughter-in-law, you still have to think about your grandson, right?"

"That is to say, he took away all the money. What will Zhao Jie do in the future? Tsk tsk! Rich people are really heartless and can even plot against their own blood relatives."

The words outside became more and more unpleasant, but Mr. Zhao had no time to care. He urged: "What needs to be said has been said, hurry up and sign!"

"Sure enough, it's you." Lin Xing smiled lightly and signed the family separation deed readily. "From now on, Zhao Yi and Zhao Jie will have no connection with the Zhao family."

Seeing her signing the deed, Mr. Zhao didn't care what Lin Xing was saying. He happily took the deed and walked out.

But only halfway through, he saw Yang Pei'an walking in aggressively with his official servants.

When he got in front of him, Yang Pei'an pointed his hand, "Arrest him!"

"Have you made a mistake, sir? I haven't committed any crime, so what are you arresting me for?" That's what he said, but Mr. Zhao's face was indeed pale.

Others thought that he had a guilty conscience and was so scared after misappropriating the Zhao family's money, but Lin Xing knew that what Mrs. Zhao was most afraid of was the exposure of the poisoning.

But now she has no plans to settle the score with Mr. Zhao.

Yang Pei'an's eyes swept across Lin Xing, and finally stopped at the shopkeeper of the Zhao family, "How much silver are missing in each of your stores?"

The shopkeeper reported again and again, adding up to a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver.

"That's right!" Yang Pei'an stared at Mr. Zhao with a gloomy face, "Someone bought and sold private salt through thousands of gambling houses for a total of 200,000 taels of silver, and the payment was the Huitong banknote of your Zhao Family Commercial Bank! Come on,

Arrest the Zhao family!"

The officer immediately stepped forward to arrest the person, frightening Mrs. Zhao and saying incoherently: "The common people are wronged! I am not! I am no longer a member of the Zhao family...it is her! It was that poisonous woman who framed me!"

"Just now, you personally admitted that you misappropriated silver. I heard it clearly from outside. How dare you make excuses?" Yang Peian snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and said, "Take him away!"

"This is impossible! My old lady didn't interfere in the business at all. It must be Zhao Yi who did it! Sir!" Mrs. Wei stepped forward and rolled around, holding the old lady Zhao's arm to prevent him from leaving.

"Have your consciences been eaten by dogs? You actually poured dirty water on a dead person?" Yang Pei'an was so angry that he kicked Wei's heart, "Zhao Yi had been dead for a month when the illegal salt sale happened.

, is he the one who returned as a soul and embezzled the silver?"

The old couple were completely dumbfounded.

Mr. Zhao never thought that even after he separated from his family, he could still cause so many things. He shouted that he was wronged and was taken back to the government prison.

Lin Xing took the deed and walked out with a group of guards. When passing by the gate, she asked Uncle Zhong to take ten taels of silver and hand it to Wei, with a sad look on her face, "You have misappropriated the silver taels, and now I have no money to use.

These ten taels should be regarded as my filial piety to you on behalf of Zhao Yi."

After saying that, she never looked at Wei again, got into the carriage and left.

After the carriage had gone far away, she raised the curtain and asked Uncle Zhong, "What's going on with the private sale of salt?"

Uncle Zhong was also confused, "Isn't it your arrangement, madam?"

of course not!

Lin Xing pondered and ordered: "Go to Zifu."
