Chapter 1279 Delaying Time for Xiang Weinan
After signing, you still need to go to the government office to complete the transfer of ownership. Although this place is a bit far from the county seat, it is still under the jurisdiction of Jiangyuan County.
The group entered the city and arrived at the entrance of the county government office.
Such property transfer issues are handled by specialized document management departments, so it wouldn't alarm Xiang Weinan.
However, Xiang Weinan was very concerned about the situation in the black market and had specifically instructed the clerk to report it immediately if he encountered this matter.
Therefore, when the clerk saw Master Miao and Steward Guo coming to complete the property transfer, he immediately made an excuse to have them wait in the lobby while he went to find the household registration information.
After leaving the house, the clerk went directly to find Xiang Weinan.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Weinan's brows furrowed tightly.
He had said before that the place was not only related to the problem of Shuyuzhuangzi, but also to the atmosphere of Jiangyuan County.
A perfectly good mountain estate has been turned into a den of iniquity; there's no way Magistrate Xiang Weinan could be happy about that.
But the other party is free to buy and sell, and he has no reason to stop them.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
Xiang Weinan paced back and forth in the study, making the scribe's eyes blurry.
After a while, he said to the clerk, "Find an excuse to delay, I'll think of a way, and I'll have someone give you a definite answer in a bit."
"Yes." The clerk left.
Xiang Weinan followed him out of the study and called Hu Li over, "Go find Lu Xiangjun and see if she has made any progress on this matter."
Wasn't that girl always so anxious about the black market? Why has she suddenly become so quiet these past few days? Surely it's not like the two of them have been so lovey-dovey since Meng Yunzheng came back that they've stopped doing anything productive?
After agreeing, Hu Li hurriedly left the government office and headed to Fenghuai Street to find Shu Yu.
But as soon as he turned the corner, he saw the person he was looking for huddled in the corner.
Hu Li was startled. "Lord Lu? What are you doing here? Perfect timing, my lord asked me to discuss something with you."
Shu Yu lowered her voice, "Is it because of that manor on the black market?"
She followed Meng Yunzheng and his group back to the county town after they came down the mountain. Meng Yunzheng knew she had been waiting for news, so he would make a mark after they came down the mountain so that she would know what was going on.
Shu Yu returned immediately after seeing the mark.
She had only just arrived at the entrance of the county government office and was still catching her breath.
Hu Li nodded. "Lu Xiangjun, do you know?"
"Yes, tell Lord Xiang to get the transfer done as soon as possible to avoid any complications. Tell Lord Xiang that Meng Yunzheng is disguised as Master Miao's attendant inside."
Hu Li's eyes lit up. "So Lord Lu and Young Master Meng had a plan all along."
Shu Yu waved his hand, "The situation was urgent and happened too quickly. I didn't even have time to inform the adults."
"As long as the matter is resolved, that's fine. I'll go back and talk to the adults now."
"good."
Hu Li turned around and went back to the county office, this time with a completely different expression on his face.
Xiang Weinan was still pondering when he saw him return. He was immediately stunned. "Why are you back so soon?"
Hu Li quickly recounted what had happened when he saw Shu Yu outside the door.
Xiang Weinan, "..."
So what exactly did they do?
At that moment, he desperately wanted to run ahead to see what was going on, to meet Meng Yunzheng and find out the details.
But it was clearly not the right time yet. He suppressed his thoughts and turned to Huli, saying, "Go and tell the clerk to get the transfer done as soon as possible."
"good."
Hu Li quickly went out.
