Chapter 73: Professional Disposal of Stolen Goods

Master Jin's case was judged: exile for three thousand miles.

Master Jin learned the result of the judgment and sighed, saying directly: "I don't know if I can return to the capital in my lifetime."

Chen Guanlou originally wanted to comfort the other party, but then he thought about it: Master Jin's sister-in-law was the favorite concubine of the Prince of Donghai. With the Prince of Donghai as a backer, it hadn't changed the outcome of the exile, so his verbal comfort would only appear extremely pale and powerless.

"Strive to live well; if you are willing to spend money, you can always live. Maybe one day the Emperor will grant amnesty to the world, and you can return to the capital."

Chen Guanlou said so, which was considered close to reality.

Exile, what is terrible is not the place of exile, but the road to exile. As long as you don't die on the road to exile, people like Master Jin, when they arrive at the place of exile, are talents. If they handle things flexibly, they might not be able to grasp the opportunity. When the day of amnesty for the world comes, suffering will end and happiness will begin, and there will be hope for turning over.

Master Jin nodded, his face still dark, but there was some hope in his eyes. Living is hope! Thinking about the good side, at least there was no immediate execution, and the whole family could be together.

"Can I entrust Chen Tou with a matter?"

"You say." Chen Guanlou is now very slick in handling things. Compared with the Bing-sized prison where he kept his bottom line, his bottom line now is lower and lower. The prisoners he manages are all criminal officials; don't care about their future, first build a relationship of incense, just treat it as buying peace of mind. To avoid any official who turns over and thinks of the days in the Heavenly Prison, running back to retaliate.

"The old servant told me last time, maybe the person who raided the house didn't know the goods, and there were two isolated copies in the house that were not raided. Can Chen Tou help find a buyer, as long as the price is appropriate. The family is now inconvenient to travel, not suitable for going out to find a buyer, and afraid of someone taking advantage of the fire to rob and suppress the price. This exile, there is no lack of money to handle things on the road, and money is also needed to live when arriving at the place of exile. Now only two isolated copies can sell for a price, to solve the urgent need."

"This is a small matter, I will definitely help you find a suitable buyer. It's just, the isolated copies you mentioned, are they really missed by the person who raided the house, and there is no disaster, no hand-tail that hasn't been handled cleanly?"

Chen Guanlou is willing to help, but he can't get himself into trouble because of helping.

He knows the urine nature of these officials, the cunning rabbit has three caves. It is unlikely that the person who raided the house didn't know the goods. They are all experienced old hands, how could they miss such valuable things as isolated copies.

It is very likely that before the house was raided, the Jin family hid a small amount of valuable items and luckily escaped the people who raided the house. Now they are eager to cash out, and afraid of being discovered, adding crime to crime, so they found him.

Master Jin is worthy of being an old bureaucrat; he was not panicked at all when Chen Guanlou questioned him face to face.

"Chen Tou just needs to find a buyer, I guarantee there will be no problem. I am willing to give up one-tenth of the profit."

Very generous.

In the end, it still depends on money to open the way.

Chen Guanlou said to him: "Since I came to the Jia-sized prison, I have been taken care of by you several times, and you have solved many doubts for me. I have always kept it in my heart. Now that your case has been judged, there is no lack of places to use money. Helping to find a buyer is a matter of lifting a hand. I don't care how the goods came, if something happens, I won't admit it afterward, and I will push it all to you, not too much, right."

Master Jin nodded and said: "After the goods are sold, Chen Tou can take two-tenths of the profit."

Really straightforward.

Chen Guanlou didn't refuse, that would appear pretentious.

"Okay! This is a pure transaction. I wish you a smooth journey and get out of the sea of suffering early."

He accepted Master Jin's request.

But he kept an eye on it. When he met with the Jin family's old servant, he disguised himself and changed his identity. He only said that he was sent by Chen Tou and took out a token.

Although the other party had questions, due to the situation, he could only choose to believe him. He hoped in his heart that he wouldn't roll up the goods and run away.

Chen Guanlou couldn't do the thing of rolling up the goods and running away; there was no deep hatred, and it wasn't a one-hammer deal. The Heavenly Prison had such a large warehouse, and there would be many people asking for him in the future. It wasn't worth ruining his reputation and cutting off his future wealth for a little silver.

The Jin family had no grievances with him, and he wouldn't do anything to force people to a dead end.

Buyers are easy to find and not easy to find.

Straightforward, go to the pawnshop. But the pawnshop's price suppression can scare people to death, not worth it.

He specially asked Du Fuzi for advice. Du Fuzi is a cultural person and helped him estimate a price. "These two isolated copies, if you encounter a buyer who likes them, three or five thousand taels is not a problem. It's just that since you are helping people and are in a hurry for money, you definitely can't sell for a price."

"About how much can it sell for?"

"Hmm, estimate it can sell for two thousand five hundred taels."

"Does Fuzi know any buyers? You also know that the errand I do, I can't contact suitable buyers."

Du Fuzi laughed. "Suitable buyers, far in the sky and close in front of you."

"Does Fuzi want to buy?" Chen Guanlou was shocked. Poor Fuzi, poor Fuzi, always thought Du Fuzi was financially strapped, didn't expect him to be a rich man.

"Misunderstanding. How can I have the financial resources to buy such valuable isolated copies. Although I am powerless to buy, I know people who are rich and willing to buy."

"Who is it?"

"The Eldest Master!"

Huh?

Chen Guanlou was surprised and asked in a low voice: "If I remember correctly, the Eldest Master is a martial general."

"Although the Eldest Master is a martial general, he has also seriously studied books and is both civil and martial. The Eldest Master loves calligraphy and painting and likes to collect isolated copies from the previous dynasty. As far as I know, the Eldest Master specially built a study to collect his collection."

That's great.

"This matter still needs to trouble Fuzi, can you help pull a line."

"It's late tonight. Tomorrow I will go for you. These two isolated copies, put them here with me, are you at ease?"

"At ease! I definitely believe that Fuzi will not deceive me. Just put it here."

Du Fuzi was very satisfied and felt gratified by Chen Guanlou's trust. He would definitely not let the other party down.

The next day, after handing in the post, Du Fuzi successfully met the Eldest Master and promoted the two isolated copies.

The Eldest Master saw it, couldn't put it down, asked about the origin, and said he would buy it on the spot.

"However, I am only willing to give two thousand taels of silver. These two isolated copies, he must have searched for them from the prisoners in the prison. If he weren't surnamed Chen, I wouldn't even give him one thousand taels."

Du Fuzi was speechless and only said: "He is just helping."

"Saying it's helping, do you dare to say he didn't get benefits. You go tell him, in the future, as long as there are similar good things, just bring them. Let him go through the back door, and I will talk to him personally."

Du Fuzi was helpless and could only tell Chen Guanlou the words truthfully.

Chen Guanlou pondered for a while. He disguised himself and went to the pawnshop to ask. For the two isolated copies, the pawnshop only offered six hundred taels of silver, obviously seeing that he was in a hurry for money and suppressing the price to death. And, pawnshops and pawnshops are connected; if one pawnshop offers a price, other pawnshops will not raise the price.

Unless he leaves the capital and looks for another pawnshop elsewhere.

Not worth it.

Two thousand taels is two thousand taels, which is a big price compared to the pawnshop. He mainly considers long-term interests.

Connecting with the Eldest Master and specializing in disposing of stolen goods at the Eldest Master's place in the future is simply perfect. Don't believe which yamen dares to check the study of a first-class Marquis of the dynasty.

No wonder Master Jin asked him to help find a buyer. It is estimated that Master Jin himself also knows that if his own family sells the goods, it is estimated that he can't even get six hundred taels, and it is estimated that he will be extorted. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
