How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 37 As long as she runs fast, trouble won't catch up.

Qian Laifu wanted to stall a little longer until his father came up to see if there was any way to do so. "Such a big matter, you have to let the two of us discuss it, right?"

Zheng Zhongren wanted to get it done in one go. "What's there to discuss? You couldn't find such a good deal even if you searched with a lantern."

"You...you're bullying me too much."

"How am I bullying you? I'm giving you money, don't be ungrateful. If you are, your little grandson won't even have the chance to go hungry."

"you!"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Make a decision quickly. I don't have time to waste here with you; I have to take other clients to see houses."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiaogou Sheng emerged from behind Qian Laifu.

Xiao Gousheng, with his hands behind his back, looked at Zheng Zhongren and said coldly, "I want this shop, but I only have three coins. If you're willing, we can go to the yamen to complete the formalities. If you're not, don't try to scare people here. This is the capital; if you make a scene, you won't get away with it. Think about it slowly. We don't need to show the shop to customers; we're not in a hurry."

Zheng Zhongren: "..." Three copper coins? Are you kidding me?
Qian Laifu: Phew... His dad's finally up here. But why did his dad buy this shop? There's clearly something wrong with it!

Old Dong: You brat, you really dare to say that. But if I could buy this shop for three coins, then all the troubles behind it wouldn't be so bad.

After saying that, Xiao Gousheng walked across the alley with his hands behind his back. "Hey, are you guys stupid? Causing trouble right under the emperor's nose over a couple of coins, aren't you afraid people will laugh at the emperor for this? Tell me, what will happen if the emperor is laughed at?"

The necks of the burly men felt a little cold.

After saying that, Xiao Gousheng strolled back with his hands behind his back. "Hey, have you thought it over? Will you sell it for three coins? If not, we're leaving."

Zheng Zhongren gritted his teeth. "Sell!"

The situation this country bumpkin described is unlikely to happen, but what if it does?
Besides, even if he gave it to this country bumpkin for free, he could still get two hundred taels of silver from Master Han.

He has no reason to risk his life for fifty taels of silver.

Xiao Gou Sheng smiled. If it weren't for the fear of attracting the attention of the Tang family and those behind them, she wouldn't have spent a single penny. As for any trouble behind this shop? As long as she ran fast enough, the trouble wouldn't catch up with her.

"That's right. Since you're in such a hurry to sell this shop, then don't worry about the price. Let's go to the government office to complete the formalities."

Zheng Zhongren wanted to wipe the smile off Xiaogou Sheng's face. "Let's go."

Qian Laifu's jaw nearly dropped. Selling it for a real three copper coins?
Old Dong looked at the shop in front of him. It seemed that this shop was in quite a bit of trouble.

The burly men in the alley across the street: Okay, my neck isn't cold anymore.

When Zheng Zhongren brought Qian Laifu and the others to the yamen, the yamen officials were wondering who was so foolish when they heard Zheng Zhongren mention buying a shop. Then they heard a child say, "This shop is incredibly cheap. I bought it for only three coins."

The official in charge: What? Three copper coins? Three copper coins can't even buy a single tile!

Zheng Zhongren wanted to shut Xiaogousheng up, but he was also afraid that Xiaogousheng would reveal the story of those burly men.

The little dog, Sheng, puffed out his chest proudly as he looked at the officials in shock. "Am I amazing? I have a business now. My grandpa said that people with businesses are all capable people."

The official in charge of the government office: Yes, you're impressive. Impressive enough to even dare to buy a shop that's been cursed.

The clerk in charge of writing the documents looked sympathetically at Qian Laifu, his grandson, and Dong Laoqi. "Whose name should be written?"

Just as Qian Laifu was about to say he would write about his little dog, Sheng, he interrupted, "Write about mine, write about mine. I bought this shop. I originally wanted to use those three coins to buy candy."

Master Daoyi said she was immune to all evil.

If the trouble behind this shop is related to ghosts and gods, it would be most suitable for it to fall into her name.

The clerk looked over at Qian Laifu and Dong Laoqi.

Qian Laifu thought it was his father who made Xiaogousheng say that. "Then write my grandson's name."

Old Dong said, "I have no objection." It turns out that this brat is a money-grubber.

Seeing that they all agreed, the clerk wrote Gousheng's name on the new house deed.

After it was written, the clerk handed the deed to Xiao Gousheng. "Alright, you are now officially a person with a family business."

"Hehe..." Little Dog Sheng casually stuffed the property deed into his pocket. "Properties in the capital are really cheap. Hehe..."

The clerk thought to himself, "Fool, you've fallen for Zheng's trick. Just wait and see what happens." Only then did he begin to pack up his writing materials. "Alright, that's all. You can leave now."

After leaving the yamen, Xiaogou Sheng and his companions parted ways with Zheng Zhongren.

Zheng Zhongren went to Master Han under the pretense of bringing good news to ask for money.

The puppy and his friends went to find a carpenter to make a signboard.

Before the people of Zhengzhong could find Master Han, Xiaogou Sheng and his gang had already nailed the plaque up, nailing it very securely. The plaque had three characters on it, and below them were three copper plates.

The three characters were large and black, and the three copper coins were gleaming gold.

The innkeeper of the inn where Xiaogou Sheng and the others were staying was doing accounts when Dong Laoqi, pulling Qian Laifu along and carrying Xiaogou Sheng on his back, ran in from outside.

As soon as he entered, he looked at the innkeeper and said, "I want to check out. The capital is too scary. I want to go to the south. I've heard that southerners are quite friendly."

The shopkeeper was startled. "What happened?"

"The capital is too scary," Dong Laoqi said between breaths. "I want to go south."

"What's so frightening about the capital? Have you offended someone important?"

"No, oh well, I'm not talking to you anymore, we're going to pack our things."

In the blink of an eye, Dong Laoqi dragged Qian Laifu and carried the little dog Sheng upstairs.

The shopkeeper: "..." What's going on?

A moment later, Qian Laifu and his men came downstairs. "Manager, the bill is due."

The shopkeeper wanted to know what had happened. "What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll see if I can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dong Laoqi, just like before, grabbed Qian Laifu and carried the little dog Sheng on his back and ran off. As he ran, he shouted, "Forget it, forget it. The capital is too scary. Let's hurry to the south."

Now the shopkeeper was even more curious.

The shopkeeper opened the counter and chased after them. "Hey, don't run away, I'll settle your bill right away."

Old Dong replied "I don't want it" and then disappeared.

The shopkeeper: "..." What exactly happened? Please explain before you leave.

People in nearby shops came out of their shops when they heard the commotion.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"I think I heard someone say 'no more,' 'no more what'?"

"I don't want the money anymore."

"He doesn't want money? Is he stupid?"

……

On the other side, Dong Laoqi, pulling Qian Laifu and carrying the little dog Sheng on his back, ran to the city gate before stopping.

The young goalkeeper, seeing him running out of breath, couldn't help but ask, "Why are you running?"

Between breaths, Old Man Dong said, "Don't even mention it. We were forced to buy a shop. We're leaving now. You've had a long day."

The young gatekeeper, hearing this, asked curiously, "How much silver were they swindled out of?"

"Sanwen."

"How much?" The young goalkeeper picked at his ear.

"Sanwen."

brush!
The young goalkeeper drew his sword. "You tricked me!"

People entering and leaving the city gates heard the commotion and all looked over.

"I didn't," Old Dong recounted the whole story. "That shop is definitely up to something; I have to leave right away."

That shop is very famous in the capital, and even the gatekeeper knows it.

The young goalkeeper gave Dong Laoqi a sympathetic look. "Let's go, try to go as far away as possible."

"Oh! You're busy, we're leaving."

After leaving the city, Dong Laoqi turned back and glanced at Xiao Gousheng. "Now you know what kind of place the capital is, right? If you want to live, you'd better go home obediently."
