Zhu Bai: "You just said that the original owner went out to travel and was never in Beijing, so he couldn't apply for the official deed. Now, just call the owner here, pay the deed tax, and apply for a new house deed."
Xu Huizu smiled bitterly: "This is a good idea, but I don't know where the landlord has gone. We don't know whether he is still alive or not."
That's right.
Xu Huizu was a carefully selected target and came after them.
In fact, even if you don't report it, the Beicheng Military and Horse Division will soon ask about this annex.
But in that case, Zhu Bai and the others can do it quietly.
Therefore, someone must have wanted to make a big fuss and instigated the person inside to report it.
The last doubt in Zhu Biao and Zhu Di's minds was dispelled.
Zhu Biao sighed at Xu Huizu: "You are confused. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"
Now that the deadline has passed and the homeowner cannot be found, we can only sit and wait.
Zhu Di said: "Is there no other way?"
In fact, he also knew that there were other ways, such as killing the witness.
But this method is too stupid.
Since someone is targeting them, they must keep an eye on that witness.
Not to mention that they can't touch the witness, they also want to prevent others from killing someone and silencing him.
Otherwise, it would turn from nothing to something, and the four of them would not be able to explain it clearly.
Zhu Bai asked Xu Huizu: "How many people do you know about buying other courtyards?"
Xu Huizu thought for a while and said: "At that time, it was just me and the landlord, and there was a guarantor."
Then he suddenly realized: "Isn't it the guarantor who came to report this?"
Zhu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Sure enough, good-looking people may not have good minds. He didn't realize it until now.
Xu Huizu gritted his teeth: "Why is he like this? He took the guarantee money and then came to report me."
Zhu Bai asked: "Besides the private deed and the original house deed, what else was there?"
Xu Huizu said: "The receipt was written to me by the landlord and the guarantor."
Zhu Bai said: "Hurry up and ask your servants to get them together."
Xu Huizu hurriedly went out to get the waist tag, wrote a note to the servant, and quickly went back to his wife to get these things.
The servant took the badge and went back in a flash, and came out again after a while.
He was anxious to arrive early, so he took a shortcut through a small alley.
But as soon as he entered, a big man knocked him unconscious with a stick from behind.
The big man who knocked out the servant found the envelope from the servant's arms, opened it, and saw that it contained four pieces of papyrus. Realizing that he had been trapped, he turned around to run, but found that the two ends of the alley had been blocked by people.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Are you going to be obedient and just surrender, or will I beat you half to death and you will surrender again?"
Zhu Bai bared his teeth and took out his gun: "No, fourth brother, why bother? I don't have a moving target to practice with, so let me have some fun today."
Everyone in the city knows how powerful this musket in Zhu Bai's hand is.
One shot will kill you, but you will lose half your life.
The man immediately knelt down and said, "I know my crime, Your Highness, please spare my life."
Zhu Di waved his hand to the side, and someone immediately went up and tied the man tightly, and then carried him back to the lobby of Xu Mansion.
Xu Huizu asked everyone in the family to stay in the backyard, and they were not allowed to come out unless called.
Zhu Bai sat next to him and played with the nine-ring chain again, as if he didn't intend to get involved anymore.
Zhu Biao said to the man: "Tell me, who ordered you?"
The man said: "The villain doesn't know."
Zhu Biao's face sank: "You guys, do you think that this palace is easy to bully because of its gentle nature? If someone comes, please serve me and beat him until he says so."
He was really angry this time. He finally wanted to do something, but someone jumped out and stabbed him in the back.
The man kept shouting: "I really don't know. I am an unemployed vagrant in the city. Yesterday, someone stuffed a note into my door, telling me to stay in the alley today.
If you can grab four pieces of paper, give me three taels of silver. If the villain had known that he was robbing a servant of Xu Mansion, he would not have dared to take this job even if he starved to death."
Zhu Biao asked: "If you grab it, how will you deliver it?"
The man said: "They say someone will come to the villain to get it."
Zhu Biao asked: "Where is that piece of paper?"
The man hurriedly took it out of his arms and raised his hands above his head.
The attendant took it and handed it to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao took one look and immediately frowned and handed it to Zhu Di. Zhu Di looked at it and was a little surprised, so he gave it to Zhu Bai again.
Zhu Bai's curiosity was aroused by them. He didn't want to care about it at first, so he took it and took a look.
Hiss...the content is exactly the same as what this person said.
But the handwriting is clearly Liu Bowen’s!!
Tsk tsk tsk. It’s really one link after another.
Liu Bowen was brought in again.
Zhu Bai held the paper up to the light and said, "Wow, it's still White Deer rice paper. It can't be used by anyone other than the royal family or the wealthy. The key point is that in addition to the unique white deer dark pattern of Bailu Xuan, there is also a dark pattern of the word "李" on it. It's obvious at first glance.
The rich and coquettish Li Shanchang made it specially for his family to write some important certificates of credit.
Originally, the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to bring these two people in, but in fact, they were eliminated as suspects.
After all, no matter how stupid these two people are, they will never be this stupid.
However, this man was very good at dancing. Not only could he imitate Liu Bowen's calligraphy so that it looked real, he could also go deep into the inner courtyard of the Li Mansion to obtain special paper.
Zhu Bailue was upset: There was a good show to watch.
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said to his entourage: "Invite Mr. Liu and Mr. Li over."
Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang were a little confused: Zhu Biao suddenly left in a hurry, and now he called the two of them to the Xu Mansion.
Zhu Biao said nothing and just handed the note to the two of them.
When the big man saw that more and more people were involved, he became more and more frightened and kept wiping away cold sweat.
Liu Bowen was speechless after reading it, but Li Shanchang looked very unhappy.
Only a few people can get the Bailu Xuan specially made by Li Mansion, his son, the housekeeper and him.
Li Shanchang cupped his hands and said, "I will go back and check carefully."
Zhu Biao said: "If you find out, report it directly to this palace without making any announcement."
Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen left again.
The man kowtowed again: "My lords, spare your lives."
Only then did everyone remember that there was another person here.
Zhu Bo smiled grimly: "Just kill him and silence him."
The man cried and howled: "The villain just robbed four pieces of papyrus, and the money was less than ten cents."
If you follow the "Da Ming Law", you will be beaten and you won't have to go to jail.
If he doesn't know who's behind it, it's useless to keep him, and it's troublesome to hold him back.
Zhu Biao waved his hand: "Hit him ten times and let him go."
The man was dragged down and pushed against a board in the yard, crying very loudly.
After the beating, he was held up and thrown outside, and crawled away like a dead dog under the laughter of everyone watching.
Xu Huizu took out the real private deed of the house and handed it to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai took the items and took a look to confirm that they were correct. Before Zhu Biao and the others had a chance, he took out the fire folders from his arms and burned the pile of items.
