MTL - Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property-Chapter 43 Gu Wenfeng

Chapter 43 Gu Wenfeng

Unable to pry Lu Jiaxin's mouth open, Gu Wenfeng turned his attention to Xue Mao. The child was not wary of him and was quickly tricked into talking to him.

He was stunned when he heard that Lu Jiaxin stayed in the ancient capital to hunt for treasure. I thought about many reasons, but I never thought that the truth was like this.

Not wanting to waste time, Gu Wenfeng took Xue Mao to find Lu Jiaxin: "Miss Lu, I wonder where you are going to hunt for treasure?"

Lu Jiaxin knew that Xue Mao had leaked the news when she saw that he lowered his head and did not dare to look at her. Alas, I had told him to keep it a secret before, but I didn’t expect him to be so lax.

Looking at her expression, Gu Wenfeng understood that she didn't believe him anymore: "Miss Lu, as long as this is not illegal, I can help you find it, and even if you find the treasure, you won't leak a word to the public."

 “What if you didn’t do it?”

Gu Wenfeng said: "If I go back on my word, you can tell Mrs. Xie. Miss Lu, the leader will not reuse a person who breaks his word."

These words touched Lu Jiaxin, and she said, "I can believe you, but what about Zhao Dajun?"

Gu Wenfeng immediately said: "Don't worry, he won't leak this matter. If he dares to tell it, his work will be ruined."

Lu Jiaxin originally planned to buy the house and then slowly search for it with Xue Mao, but Xue Mao was lax and had to change her plan: "Don't tell Zhao Dajun in advance, wait until I come back from my hometown."

 Gu Wenfeng nodded in agreement.

 Lu Jiaxin told him everything she learned in detail.

Hearing that the landlord's name was Sun Xun, Gu Wenfeng frowned and asked, "Miss Lu, besides the name, do you have any other clues?"

The ancient capital also has a large population. It is quite difficult to inquire about a person based on his name. One more clue can narrow the scope.

Lu Jiaxin talked about the situation of Sun Xun's family: "They used to be a local prominent family, and now they also live in the ancestral home. I think it should be easy to find out."

Xue Mao said as soon as he heard this: "Sister Xin, we can ask Uncle Feng to help us find out. He knows many people in the ancient capital, so he should be able to find out quickly."

 Gu Wenfeng rejected the proposal as soon as he heard it: "Since it is a treasure hunt, the less we know about it, the better. Otherwise, if the news is leaked, we won't be able to keep the treasure even if we find it."

Lu Jiaxin regretted telling Xue Mao. Of course, it was impossible to tell Uncle Feng again. If one more person knew, there would be more risks. If the noise is loud, it will attract the attention of interested people. There are many smart people in this world. She also wanted to find these antiques and get the first pot of gold, but she didn't want to cause any complications.

 Four people went in two groups to inquire. Zhao Dajun went with Gu Wenfeng, and Lu Jiaxin went with Xue Mao. After leaving the door, Zhao Dajun said doubtfully: "Brother Feng, didn't we come with Miss Lu to catch the traffickers? Why did we find someone instead? Is this person related to the traffickers?"

Gu Wenfeng did not tell him about the treasure hunt, but just said: "If she wants to find it, let's help her find it."

Gu Wenfeng worked very efficiently and quickly found out the person: "Miss Lu, this man named Sun Xun is thirty-nine years old and a boiler worker in a cotton clothing factory. He has two brothers and one sister, but they have not lived to adulthood. . The situation in his family is basically the same as what the girl said. Now the family of eight lives in the front yard of the old house."

There are three entrances to the house. Sun Xun's father was the third brother. At that time, the allocation of houses was not designated but decided by drawing lots. Sun Xun's father got the first courtyard.

Gu Wenfeng said: "This Sun Xun likes to play with money. After receiving his salary, he plays cards. All six children are supported by his wife doing odd jobs. Their house is said to be dilapidated and may collapse at any time. Miss Lu, are you sure? Is there any treasure in that dilapidated house?" Once Lu Jiaxin heard that the other party liked to play with money, she was sure that she had found the right person. She later heard the follow-up when traveling to the ancient capital. That Sun Xun made a fortune by selling a batch of ancient calligraphy and painting books at a low price, and soon died on the streets. As for how he died, there are different opinions and no way to verify.

“Brother Gu, let’s find a way to buy his house.”

Gu Wenfeng didn't believe that there was any treasure in that house. He persuaded: "Miss Lu, the people in the Sun family are not living very well. If there was really a treasure, they would have taken it away themselves, and it would not be anyone else's turn."

Lu Jiaxin spread her hands and said: "If you can't find the treasure, Xue Mao also left a house. No matter how shabby the house is, it is better than his previous shack. But if you find it, you will make a fortune, and you will no longer have to make a living." Worried."

Xue Mao finally came to his senses: "Sister Xin, you pawned the set of jewelry that Brother Su gave you, and you also took out all the dowry money that your aunt left for you, just to buy this shabby house to hunt for treasure?"

After getting a positive answer, Xue Mao thought she was crazy: "Sister Xin, this must be Ding Jing's conspiracy, don't be fooled!"

 Lu Jiaxin was amused by his divergent thinking.

Gu Wenfeng did not dissuade him. From the past few days of contact, he saw that Lu Jiaxin was a person with great plans. She even used the dowry money left to her by her deceased mother and went to such great lengths to hunt for the treasure. No matter how much she tried to persuade her, it was impossible to make her change. In this case, there is no need to waste your breath.

He thought for a moment and said, "Miss Lu, we can't buy his house directly. Sun Xun is not a fool. He will definitely become suspicious if we rush to buy his house."

Xue Mao was a little dumbfounded. What happened to Brother Gu? If you don't help and persuade me, let's forget it. Instead, you want to buy the shabby house.

 Lu Jiaxin had already thought of this, so her plan was to find a middleman. As long as the price is right, she believes that Sun Xun will sell the house. After all, gamblers have no sense. But it would be best to leave this matter to Gu Wenfeng. She and Xue Mao were too young to win people's trust.

Gu Wenfeng said: "Miss Lu, Sun Xun's house is too shabby. Just repairing it will cost a lot of money. Normal people will not buy his house. Even if he finds a middleman, he will be suspicious."

 “Do you have any good ideas?”

What Gu Wenfeng meant was to take advantage of Sun Xun's weakness of playing around with money and let the creditors force him to repay the money. Then he would have to sell the house. In this way, there is no need to worry about being suspected.

Lu Jiaxin looked at him with bright eyes. Having the ability to be informal and flexible is exactly the kind of assistant she needs!

Gu Wenfeng reminded: "Miss Lu, this matter takes time. We have been out for five days, and your father and Stationmaster Lu will definitely be looking for you everywhere."

"I left a note at home before I left. My fifth brother can see it when he comes over."

Even so, she still went to the post office and called Lu Jiaguang, saying that she was in the ancient capital.

“You’re not going to Feng County to find that human trafficker, why are you still in the ancient capital?” Lu Jiaguang asked. Yesterday afternoon, he received a call from Lu Jiajie saying that she had not returned to her hometown, and he was very worried. She still thought that the two bodyguards she brought were arranged by Xie's family, so she didn't report the crime.

Lu Jiaxin had already thought of the reason: "When Xue Mao got off the train, he was pushed down and sprained his foot. The doctor said he needed to recover for a while, otherwise the injury would be aggravated."

Lu Jiaguang also understands that his muscles and bones have been injured for a hundred days, and his legs have been injured and he can't go on the road.
