Chapter 359 Zhizhi, what happened?
Sang Zhixia paused for a moment, then hesitated and asked, "Were these brought by different people?"
Ling Chu smiled bitterly: "If it was really brought by the same person, it would save us from the embarrassment."
"Boss, please look carefully. The names of the household owners on the deeds are all different. These were collected in seven or eight batches."
I was too busy to pay attention to it when I was collecting it, but when I looked at it again afterwards, Ling Chu realized that something was wrong.
They all knew that none of the wealthy families in Ancheng wanted to sell their land.
The deeds have various names such as Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng and Wang on them, which seem to have nothing to do with each other. But when you compare the deeds together, you will find that it looks like the whole piece has been broken up and sold in batches.
Sang Zhixia stared at the things on the table without saying anything.
Ling Chu thought for a moment and said, "These plots of land are excellent in both topography and location, and the deeds seem to be fine. If someone brings them in tomorrow, should we take them?"
Sang Zhixia picked up a land deed and looked at it repeatedly, frowning slightly.
"Is the title deed real?"
Ling Chu doubted herself a little and said uncertainly, "Maybe I'm shortsighted. I can't see the problem yet."
Lingchu was cautious in his work, and he was definitely not the only one who had looked at the land deed that made him suspicious.
The fact that he could say this proves that the people who saw the deed did not notice anything wrong.
But the subtle feeling lingered in his mind, and Sang Zhixia couldn't put his finger on what was wrong. He paused and said, "If someone sends it to me, I'll take it."
"Just let the seller lead the way and inspect the land before you collect the deed."
"Also, try to find out who the previous owners of the land we acquired today were, and see if the names on the deeds match."
Lingchu bowed his head and said yes.
Sang Zhixia stroked the corner of the deed and added, "Also, pay more attention when the land is acquired in the next few days."
"If you encounter something like this again, secretly send someone to follow them and see if these people holding the land deeds are from the same group."
"yes."
Lingchu took the order and left. Sang Zhixia stared at the table thoughtfully: "What's wrong?"
Why is it that the more I think about it, the weirder it seems?
Sang Zhixia was puzzled. He could not find anything wrong with the land deed he had bought with real money.
Before the person sent out to gather information returned, Ling Chu sent Sang Zhixia a few more land deeds.
"Master, please take a look."
Sang Zhixia unfolded the deed and was silent for a moment. Then he raised an eyebrow and said, "Where is the person who came to sell the land?"
"Waiting downstairs."
Ling Chu pursed her lips and said, "I said I wasn't sure, so I brought it up for you to see before you can tell me if it's okay. But I think that person's expression is not right."
It is not very common for Ling Chu to say that something is not right.
Sang Zhixia said something ambiguous: "Really?"
"I'll go take a look."
In the lobby downstairs, a long line of people formed, searching through boxes and drawers to find land deeds in order to exchange them for some money to survive. The person who was called to stand aside was a middle-aged woman in tattered clothes.
The old lady was pestering the shopkeeper with questions when he looked up and saw Sang Zhixia coming out. He cried out as if he had seen a savior: "Auntie, the landlord is here to buy the land."
"Just tell the master what you want to say!"
The old lady who was pushed away probably didn't expect Sang Zhixia to be so young. She was stunned for a moment and rubbed the hem of her clothes awkwardly and said, "You...you are the host?"
"You want to buy my land?"
Sang Zhixia smiled and nodded: "It's me."
"Lingchu, go find a place for Auntie to sit and pour her a glass of water."
"Oh, no, no."
The old lady waved her hands stiffly: "I am here to sell the land. Give me the money to buy the land, and I will hurry home."
"There's no need to be so anxious."
Sang Zhixia sat down and made an inviting gesture to the old lady: "Since you are here to discuss business, there is no reason to treat you unfairly. If you have anything to say, please sit down and talk."
The old lady couldn't refuse, so she could only grit her teeth and sit down, suppressing the urge to escape.
Sang Zhixia's eyes slid across her feet calmly, and she smiled and said, "Auntie, where are you from? Isn't it tiring for you to rush here?"
The old lady tugged at her skirt uncomfortably and said, "Not far, not far. My home is in the south of the city. It's just a few steps away."
"South of the city?"
Sang Zhixia's face suddenly showed understanding, and she said with an expression that this is how it happened: "No wonder."
"I was saying that such good land would be too expensive for anyone without a lot of money. It turns out they are from a wealthy family that has long since moved to the city and settled there."
When the old lady heard this, the smile on her face became even more uncontrollable.
"A lowly person who can't even get enough to eat can't be considered rich. If he were truly rich, he wouldn't sell everything he had to survive!"
Sang Zhixia agreed, and after noticing Lingchu's gaze, she asked, "It's not that far from the south of the city. Is it safe for you to go back alone with the money? Is there anyone else going with you?"
“No, no!”
Without thinking, the old lady said, "I came here alone, I don't know anyone!"
As if she was afraid that Sang Zhixia would not buy her land, the old lady quickly said, "No one would dare to cause trouble in broad daylight. I can handle it on my own!"
Sang Zhixia laughed softly: "Then I feel relieved."
"Lingchu, take Auntie over to settle the account and get the silver."
Lingchu came over and took the nervous old lady away, and Sang Zhixia had another land deed that was selected separately in her hand.
Sang Zhixia tapped the table with her fingertips, and her hand slipped, knocking over the teacup on the table, spilling the full cup of tea all over the floor.
Seeing this, the shop assistant asked nervously, "Boss, are you okay?"
"It's okay."
Sang Zhixia smiled bitterly and said, "I was distracted for a moment and my hand slipped. I'm afraid the mess has attracted insects and ants."
"Go to the back and get some basins of water. Sprinkle the floor inside and out with water and wipe it carefully to avoid looking disgusting."
The shop assistant left with a few words.
Sang Zhixia moved to another place to sit, staring at the footprints left on the wet ground, her eyes slowly narrowing.
"Zhizhi?"
Xu Yu, who had rushed back, called out a few times as soon as he entered the room. When he received no response, he bent down and held out his hand: "Zhizhi, what are you thinking about?"
Sang Zhixia grabbed Xu Yu's waving hand, took a deep breath, and squeezed out a word through her teeth: "Come with me."
"Hey, this..."
"Master Song."
Song Liu stopped Zhao Zhongquan, who was using the alias of Master Song, in time and said with a smile, "Young Master and the boss have something to say. Let me take you to rest."
Zhao Zhongquan raged, "What kind of moment is this? Is this the time to indulge in romantic relationships?!"
"Your young master is really..."
"Master Song, I can understand your anxiety, but the young master will decide how to proceed. Please don't be anxious for now."
Song Liu pretended to be blind and didn't see Zhao Zhongquan's sullen face, and said respectfully, "Please follow me."
Zhao Zhongquan angrily threw his sleeves and followed Song Liu.
Xu Yu was dragged into the room by Sang Zhixia without any preparation. He turned around and saw Sang Zhixia knocking on the door, which made him laugh: "Zhizhi."
"Even though a day without seeing you feels like three years, it's still bright out in the daylight. You're doing this in broad daylight, aren't you..."
"Shut up."
Sang Zhixia scolded Xu Yu without turning her head, walked over quickly and closed all the windows tightly, pulled Xu Yu onto the bed and lowered all the curtains, then climbed up herself.
In the suddenly dimming light, Xu Yu raised his eyes silently: "Zhizhi, what happened?"
