Jin Guifei must die, and soon, but how is she to be killed?
After contemplating for a while, Cai Wei could not devise a flawless plan. She gloomily entered the Space, wandering around, racking her brains.
As she passed through the forest, a startled wild chicken flew overhead ’fluttering’ across Cai Wei’s head. A detached feather fluttered down and was caught in her hand.
Cai Wei laughed, clutching the colourful feather, she had an inspiration flash of enlightenment!
"Pear Garden Spring" theater in the capital was the most well-known theater in the city and even in the entire Great Jin Nation. The most famous troupes in the Great Jin Nation, "Desheng Group" and "Qingyun Group" were permanent performers here. However, there were recent rumors that Miss Anxiang of "Desheng Group" was having a close relationship with the current Prince Nangong Shi, hence, to some extent, "Desheng Group" was more prosperous than "Qingyun Group".
Jiang’s middle man was a seasoned theatre enthusiast. On idle days, he would often bring a teapot and spend the whole day at the "Pear Garden Spring." Today was the day that he had agreed with Cai Wei and Dai Yuanshan to handle the cash transaction. He invited them all here, so he could deal with the transaction without missing out on the performance.
Upon Cai Wei’s arrival, Jiang’s middle man and Dai Yuanshan were already seated in Jiang’s usual reserved seat, watching the performance while waiting for her.
She walked in carrying an inconspicuous bundle and immediately apologized, "Gentlemen, I am sorry for my tardiness; some family matters have delayed me."
In reality, nothing had happened at home. She had simply made a detour to a deserted alley to retrieve the gold from Space before setting out.
"There’s no need for apologies, Miss. We’ve been enjoying the play, and you haven’t caused us any delay,"
Dai Yuanshan, a cultured scholar, was gracious. He invited Cai Wei to sit down and handed her the house deed and land deed.
The documents for the house were in order, and the sales agreement was already prepared. Cai Wei received and carefully checked everything for discrepancies. Upon finding none, she handed over her bundle and laughed, "Carrying silver is inconvenient, so I’ve brought gold to settle the account. Please count it, and if there’s no issue, let’s sign and seal the deal."
Cai Wei’s bundle contained 195 taels of gold. Adding the five taels she had left yesterday, she had exactly 200 taels. In the Great Jin Nation, one tael of gold was equivalent to ten taels of silver, hence, Cai Wei’s payment of 200 taels of gold was equivalent to the asking price of 2000 taels of silver for the house!
The transaction was completed straightforwardly, and it was efficient. Dai Yuanshan informed Cai Wei that his family had moved out that morning and handed over the keys to the house.
Cai Wei received the keys, put them with the property and land deed and sale agreement, bid them both farewell, hired a cart, and headed straight towards the house.
"Master, we’ve arrived in Qing County, and we’ve located Miss Shen’s house!"
Chang Mei’s voice suddenly interrupted Cai Wei’s train of thought. At that moment, she was inspecting the now empty old mansion. Upon receiving the message sent through Thoughts by Chang Mei, she replied, "How are the mother and daughter doing? Was the journey smooth?"
"The mother and daughter are doing well. They encountered a bit of trouble on the road, but I managed to deal with it, hahahaha..."
Chang Mei was holding his stomach, laughing triumphantly. Just thinking of the bandits he had crushed yesterday made his belly ache with laughter!
