On the way home from the pier, Jiang Jiuyue heard people with the surname Dong on the roadside discussing the theft at Longji Casino.
Jiang Jiuyue pretended to be curious and joined them in the discussion.
"Hey, Auntie, what happened? Was Longji robbed?"
As the old lady was talking, she saw a stranger named Jiang Jiuyue approaching her, but she didn't care and nodded and replied, "Yeah, I heard that Longji was robbed last night. It was a big thief who stole everything from Longji's warehouse, and no one noticed."
An auntie nearby said, "I guess the thief's ancestors came to steal it, otherwise how could they steal everything without anyone noticing? How soundly must they sleep to do that?"
"That's right. That casino is not like our home. They can't just steal a few taels of silver and run away. There is so much silver. To steal it all, the thief must be very capable. He can carry away the silver without any noise."
Jiang Jiuyue expressed a different opinion, "I think maybe the casino people are stealing from the inside and the thief is crying thief!"
Several women all looked at her, "What are you talking about? Why are you crying thief?"
Jiang Jiuyue analyzed it to them seriously, "Think about it, how much money is there in the casino? Can people alone take it away? They have to use a car to transport it? In the middle of the night, they used a car to transport the money away, and the people in the casino didn't notice it? Even if they didn't notice it, there was a car driving on the street in the middle of the night, and no one heard it?"
After she said this, the women all nodded, and they all felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
"What the lady said makes sense. It's really weird that no one noticed such a big commotion."
"Really? How could people not notice the money being transported in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Jiuyue added, "I guess there is someone in this casino who is greedy for money. The accounts can't be settled, so the greedy person has no choice but to cry thief and put all the blame on the thief."
Her analysis was reasonable, and the women nodded again.
Jiang Jiuyue estimated that these people would immediately tell others about this matter. Before long, not only would the casino be robbed, but rumors of embezzlement would be all over the place.
In fact, not only Jiang Jiuyue was making up rumors with the people, the government also suspected that someone in the casino was stealing.
After all, Zhao Kun went to the casino with Jiang Jiuyue last night, but he only brought back a bunch of account books and no money at all. He had reported this to the county magistrate early in the morning.
Even if Jiang Jiuyue removed the account book and took the money, how could she take all the money from the casino by herself?
Therefore, the county magistrate felt that the casino might really have some tricks, and now was a good opportunity to settle the account completely.
The government temporarily suppressed the theft of Longji Casino, waiting for Zhu Sheng to tell the truth after reading the account book, and then conduct a thorough investigation of Longji Casino.
Jiang Jiuyue took away all the gold, silver and jewelry in the casino so easily and became a wealthy man in an instant.
Jiang Jiuyue has no plans to use the money for the time being. She always feels that she will need the money in the future.
The money she won from the casino was quite a bit, enough for her to buy a big house and a few servants to serve her.
Jiang Jiuyue went to find a dental clinic immediately after she said she would buy it.
The dental clinic was still the same one she rented a house from last time, and the broker was also the same one.
"Mrs. Jiang, what do you want to buy this time?"
The broker saw Jiang Jiuyue and came over to greet her warmly.
"I want to buy a house, a little bigger and more luxurious, with three courtyards in it."
The broker was a little surprised, how could she get rich like this? I want to buy a three-courtyard house all at once.
However, since the business came to the door, the broker naturally did not say much and directly took Jiang Jiuyue to see a house that met her requirements.
After following the broker to look around for a long time, Jiang Jiuyue finally decided on one of the houses.
This house was the residence of a wealthy businessman before. Now that his family has moved away, the house is vacant, so they put it up for sale.
The house has three courtyards and a small garden. It looks very elegant and Jiang Jiuyue is very satisfied with it.
After bargaining with the broker for a long time, Jiang Jiuyue finally bought the three-courtyard house for one pound and two ounces of silver.
After buying the house, Jiang Jiuyue had to buy a few more servants to help with the work.
After all, this house is big, and Mrs. Cao can't handle it all by herself.
Jiang Jiuyue planned to let Mrs. Cao be responsible for meals in the future, while the others would be responsible for cleaning and other chores.
She was not opposed to buying people. On the contrary, she felt that the person whose body was sold in an indenture was more suitable for her. If anyone dared to be unfaithful, she would not let him go.
When the broker knew that Jiang Jiuyue wanted to buy someone, he immediately invited her to the teahouse and brought many people for her to choose from.
Those brought in by the brokers were all young men and women, standing there with their heads lowered and their eyes looking humble.
Jiang Jiuyue planned to pick two men to take charge of the rough and tiring work that women couldn't do, and then pick another woman to do some odd jobs, as long as they could tidy up the house.
She didn't plan to let these people take good care of her three daughters. They still had to have the ability to take care of themselves and not rely entirely on others.
The dentist smiled warmly and said, "Madam Jiang, the strongest people in our dentistry are all here. Look, these men are very strong and can do the work of two people!"
Jiang Jiuyue glanced around casually and picked out the two men who looked the most honest.
The two men showed a hint of joy when they were chosen by Jiang Jiuyue. If someone bought them, they wouldn't have to worry about the pawnshop anymore.
Jiang Jiuyue then picked another woman who looked honest and asked the broker to calculate the total price.
"The two men each have ten taels of silver, and the woman each has thirteen taels of silver, which adds up to eighty-two taels of silver. Madam Jiang has been taking care of our business, so we'll round off the remainder and make it eighty taels of silver."
Jiang Jiuyue nodded, paid the money, took the indentures of the six people, and took them back to the mansion first, asking them to clean up. She went back to pack her things and moved in with her daughters.
Mrs. Cao was cleaning the yard at home. As soon as Jiang Jiuyue came back, she said, "Mrs. Cao, go pack up quickly. We are moving."
When Mrs. Cao heard Jiang Jiuyue say that she was moving, she was confused. Where were they moving to? Didn't the landlord rent this house not long ago?
"I'll buy a house with three courtyards and some servants. They'll already be cleaning the house, and we can just move in."
Mrs. Cao was shocked. How much would a large house with three courtyards cost?
But she was more worried. Since the boss had hired so many people, would he still want her to help?
Jiang Jiuyue didn't notice it and told her three daughters to pack up quickly.
Although this room has been rented for three months, there is a new big house to live in, so why should I force myself to live in such a small house?
