After signing the documents, they still needed to go to the government office to handle the property transfer. Although the place was a bit far from the county town, it still fell within the jurisdiction of Jiangyuan County.
Upon entering the city, they arrived at the county government office.
Handling the property transfer had its own dedicated paperwork and management, so it wouldn't alarm Xiang Weinan.
However, Xiang Weinan was very concerned about the situation in the black market and had specially instructed the officials to inform him immediately if anything related to it came up.
Therefore, when Master Miao and master Guo, the manager, came to handle the property transfer, the official in charge immediately made up an excuse for them to wait in the main hall while he went to retrieve their household registration information.
Once he left, the official went directly to find Xiang Weinan.
As soon as Xiang Weinan heard the matter, his brows furrowed tightly. He had already mentioned before that the place in question not only involved Shu Yu's estate but also influenced the reputation of Jiangyuan County. Turning a perfectly good mountain manor into an underground, how could Xiang Weinan, as the county magistrate, be happy about it?
However, he had no reason to block the transaction if the other party was willing to buy and sell freely.
"Sir, what should we do now?" asked the official as Xiang Weinan paced back and forth in the study, making him dizzy.
After a moment, Xiang Weinan said to the official, "Find an excuse to delay for a while. I will think of a solution and give you a definite answer later."
"Yes," the official replied and left the room.
Xiang Weinan also stepped out of the study. He called Hu Li and said, "Go find Lu Xiangjun and see if there's any progress on her side."
Wasn't that girl always anxious about the black market? Why has there been no movement these past few days? Surely she and Meng Yunzheng haven't been fooling around and neglecting their duties since he returned, right?
Hu Li hurriedly left to find Shu Yu.
Little did he know that as soon as he turned a corner, he saw the person he was looking for sitting in a corner.
"Lu Xiangjun? What are you doing here? Perfect timing, the magistrate asked me to find you," Hu Li said.
Shu Yu lowered her voice, "Is it about the estate in the black market?"
She followed Meng Yunzheng and his group back to the county seat after they descended the mountain. Meng Yunzheng knew she had been waiting for news, so after everything went smoothly, he left a mark to let her know.
As soon as Shu Yu saw the mark, she immediately returned.
She had just arrived at the entrance of the county government office, and now she hadn't even caught her breath.
Hu Li nodded, "Yes, you knew?"
"Mm, tell the magistrate to handle the property transfer quickly to avoid unnecessary complications. Also, let him know that Meng Yunzheng disguised himself as Master Miao follower inside."
Hu Li's eyes lit up, "So, Shu Yu and Young Master Meng had planned it from the beginning."
Lu Xiangjun waved her hand, "The situation is urgent, everything happened too fast, and I didn't have time to communicate with the magistrate."
"As long as the matter is resolved, it's fine. I'll go back and inform the magistrate now."
"Okay."
Hu Li turned around and returned to the county government office, but this time, his expression was completely different from before.
Xiang Weinan was still pondering the situation when Hu Li returned, and he was taken aback, "Why did you come back so quickly?"
Hu Li quickly explained what he had seen Shu Yu doing outside.
Xiang Weinan...
