Chapter 273 Jiang Suining is too calm
Lin Ziqing and Jiang Mushi quickly ran into Jiang Suining's yard.
As soon as he saw Jiang Suining, Lin Ziqing immediately said, "Guangyun Tower has been sealed off!"
Jiang Suining paused while flipping through the account book. "Seal it?"
"That's right. I just got the news. Before I came here, I went to Guangyun Tower on purpose. They even put up a seal. I heard that because of Li Zheng's fall, someone in the court reported Guangyun Tower, claiming that Guangyun Tower was grandstanding, disregarding the safety of the people, and disturbing the stability of the imperial city. Now the entire Guangyun Tower has been sealed. In addition, because it involves injuries and compensation, all the money in Guangyun Tower and Mei Qinniang's name is now required not to be moved at will!"
Lin Ziqing told all the information he knew in one breath.
Jiang Mushi's face changed drastically, "But the money she and my sister said they were going to use to buy the land west of the city hasn't been delivered yet!"
"That's why I'm anxious." Lin Ziqing looked at Jiang Suining, "What should we do now?"
"This is too much of a coincidence." Jiang Suining leaned back in his chair, staring at the account book in front of him, "Xier, prepare the carriage, I want to go to Guangyun Tower."
Soon, Jiang Suining arrived outside Guangyun Tower in a carriage.
Lin Ziqing and Jiang Mushi were worried, so they followed over.
A lot of people gathered outside Guangyun Tower, looking at the seal on the door and discussing this matter.
Jiang Suining searched the crowd but did not see Mei Qinniang, so he asked someone to inquire and found out that Mei Qinniang was taken away by the bailiffs just an incense stick ago. They said she had to cooperate with the investigation and would be locked up in jail for the rest of the time.
Liu Wu was standing not far away. When he saw Jiang Suining coming, he calmed himself down, put on a sad face, and walked up to Jiang Suining.
"Miss Jiang, I really don't know how this happened suddenly. What should I do now?"
"Did your host say anything before he was taken away?" Jiang Suining looked at Liu Wu.
The latter sighed, "The owner of the building was also frightened. When he left, he kept asking me to apologize to you, Miss Jiang. Now, our Guangyun Building can't pay, and the land in the west of the city... Miss Jiang, you have to find a way."
"Qiniang and I signed a contract, which clearly states that we are cooperating to buy the land."
"Miss Jiang, I know. The master told me that she has already prepared the money, but now that the imperial court has issued an order, she dare not touch a single cent of the money. Miss Jiang, please be kind. Our Guangyun Tower has already encountered an accident. You should pay for the land this time by yourself."
"What are you talking about? This morning at the Ministry of Revenue, your landlord kept bidding against others and even called out a sky-high price of four hundred thousand taels of silver. But in the end, he just walked away and didn't care about anything anymore?" Jiang Mushi was very angry.
"My lord, we at Guangyun Tower don't want to do this either, but we have no choice in the current situation. Why don't you go and talk to the government? If you can get them to lift the seal and release our master, I will immediately kneel down and kowtow to you to thank you for your kindness!" Liu Wu still looked helpless, but there was a hint of roguery in his tone.
Jiang Mushi choked, "You..."
"Mu Shi." Jiang Suining interrupted Jiang Mu Shi and took a deep look at Liu Wu. "After all, Manager Liu is working for others and cannot make the decision. There is no need to hold him accountable."
"Miss Jiang is kind-hearted and considerate." Liu Wu spoke hurriedly, sneering in his heart.
Unfortunately, being too kind is stupid. I thought the other party would not give in, but I didn’t expect him to give in so quickly. He is still young and too naive.
"Sister, what should we do now?" Jiang Mushi asked. After thinking for a while, he said, "Oh, I'll go find father. He will definitely be able to make up for the missing money!"
Jiang Suining stopped Jiang Mushi, "I will go to my father's place by myself, but before that, I want to go see Mei Qiniang."
Xier bribed the jailer in charge of the prison, and Jiang Suining was easily admitted to the prison.
Mei Qinnan was imprisoned in the innermost cell on the west side. When Jiang Suining arrived, she heard the footsteps and stared at the cell door intently.
The moment she saw Jiang Suining, Mei Qinnan's eyes flashed with understanding, but then she looked helpless and sad.
"Miss Jiang, I knew you would come, I'm really sorry."
Jiang Suining did not rush to speak, but looked around the situation in the cell, then shifted his gaze to Mei Qinnan.
"Are you ok?"
Mei Qinnan didn't expect Jiang Suining to be so calm at this time. After a moment of pause, she nodded and spoke.
"I'm fine. I'm just cooperating with the investigation. But I can't use all the money I have. Miss Jiang, you..."
"I already know." Jiang Suining interrupted Mei Qinnan's words softly, and the next moment, he glanced at Xier behind him.
The latter immediately took out a contract from his sleeve and handed it to Mei Qinniang through the prison door.
"This is what I wrote in the carriage on the way here. I will terminate our cooperation and all subsequent matters regarding the land in the west of the city will be decided by me alone. Of course, I will also have to raise the money by myself." Jiang Suining said.
Mei Qinnan stared at the contract in a daze. After she came to her senses, she immediately took it, unfolded it and took a closer look.
The above content is indeed as Jiang Suining said, and there is even no clause regarding holding her responsible.
Mei Qiniang was getting more and more confused. She really couldn't understand Jiang Suining's actions, although it was the only way under the current circumstances. But it was unreasonable for him to write the contract so easily without asking for anything else or thinking of other ways.
"Ms. Jiang, have you really thought it through?"
"Is there any other way now?" Jiang Suining looked at Mei Qinnan and asked.
The latter remained silent.
Obviously everything was going well and was proceeding according to the original plan, but the uneasiness and weirdness in my heart clearly emerged.
But looking at the contract in front of her, Mei Qinniang finally took the ink pad handed to her by Xier and pressed her fingerprint on it.
After getting the deed back, Jiang Suining checked it to make sure there were no problems, then gave it to Xier to fold and put away.
"I'll take my leave first." Jiang Suining nodded at Mei Qinnan and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Mei Qiniang stopped Jiang Suining, "Miss Jiang, do you really have nothing else to say?"
Jiang Suining turned his head and looked at her, his gaze once again falling on the cell where she was.
"There is one more sentence."
Mei Qinnan looked at Jiang Suining, waiting for her next words.
Jiang Suining smiled at her, "The conditions in this cell are tough. Now that the contract has been signed and the purpose has been achieved, Master Mei should leave as soon as possible."
