In the study room of Jun's Mansion, everyone was noisy.
Jiao Zan still needs to be rescued. Over the years, Jun Xiangjie has taken advantage of his kindness in taking care of Jiao Zan and let Jiao Zan do a lot of things for him. It would be too callous not to save him.
Others don't know that Jun Xiangjie, as the head of the family, knows what he has ordered Jiao Zan to do over the years.
Not to mention the distant one, just saying that he was ordered to attack the prince years ago, the Jun family is inseparable. If Jiao Zan is ignored and bitten by him, the Jun family will also be in trouble.
But take money to save him?
He and Jiao Zan set up a scheme to pay for the goods on credit. Neither of them knew the specific amount. Only "Mei Weiling" and others knew.
Jun Xiangjie knew not to say too much, but he had as little as a million taels. To ask him to take out so much money was no different from poaching his heart.
When the Jun family was at its peak, a million taels was not a big deal, but now that the Jun family has been hit hard repeatedly and its vitality has been severely damaged, it has not yet recovered. Raising a million taels of silver is not easy.
This is true for you, not to mention all the sons and grandsons of the common people.
If you give to others, you will leave less for them. Who is willing?
"Dad, it's better to send someone to find your aunt quickly and ask your aunt to go find the Duke of Guo. With the Duke of Guo's order, are you still afraid that Mu Yan won't let Master Jiao go? Does he dare to seize the imperial court secretly when everything is clear in front of everyone?
Senior officer?"
After hearing this, Jun Ruoxu looked at the concubine who was speaking. These people refused to raise money for their own selfish interests, because they did not understand the prince's methods. If the prince was angered, things would end badly.
"Grandfather, since the prince has detained Mr. Jiao and sent someone to inform us, I am afraid he has evidence. Now he does not make a big fanfare and only sends people secretly to ask for the money. This is already widening the net. We just need to collect the money.
, with the eldest cousin and aunt here, the prince will not go too far. Let's apologize secretly for this matter. But if we don't follow what he said, what consequences will there be? I'm afraid we can't bear it.
Come."
Jun Xiangjie was broken into by someone in the middle of the night, as if he were entering an empty house. The guards outside were completely unaware of him, and he was also deeply aware of the power of the prince. If he really pissed him off, he would probably have someone come to his door in the middle of the night.
Taking your life is possible.
Jun Xiangjie touched the head on his neck, feeling very uneasy.
Extremely confused.
The rest of the people in the hall did not agree after hearing what Jun Ruoxu said, and still insisted on looking for Aunt Jun.
Jun Xiangjie was helpless. He really felt sorry for the money. Millions of taels would cost him his life. If he gave the money, the Jun family would really lose.
"Someone is coming!"
"Grandpa!" Jun Ruoxu stopped in horror.
"Speak more!"
Jun Xiangjie didn't listen to him. He only hurriedly called his confidants and asked him to bring a few more guards and immediately go to the Duke's Mansion. When he saw Aunt Jun saying this...
Afraid that Mu Yan's people would be watching outside the house, he asked his confidants to bring a few more guards.
The confidant left in response. Unexpectedly, he picked a dozen or so powerful guards and walked out of the door as if they were faced with a formidable enemy. He looked around at the door for a moment, but saw no one.
Jun Xiangjie thought that the arrangements were in order, and with Aunt Jun and the Duke of Guo around, everything could be solved, so he waved his children and grandchildren to disperse, and went to catch up on his sleep.
Jun Ruoxu couldn't sleep, and was pacing back and forth in the room.
The prince was defrauded of such a large sum of money, so he would not let go of the Jun family easily. Now only Jiao Zan has been touched, but not anyone in the Jun family. I'm afraid he still wants the money.
I guess it was for the sake of my aunt and cousin that I refrained from taking action. As long as the money was replenished and some compensation was given, so that the prince and his wife could calm down, the matter should be resolved.
But my grandfather was reluctant to part with money.
Now the prince was polite before fighting, and captured Jiao Zan to warn him, but his grandfather and the others did not see clearly. Jiao Zan was an important member of the third rank of the border army, and the prince arrested him as soon as he said he would. Couldn't his grandfather still see the situation clearly?
Jun Ruoxu wandered around the house like a trapped animal, and then hurried to the Buddhist hall in the backyard.
"Mother, mother, have you gone to bed?" There was a hint of urgency in the suppressed voice.
Kuang was awakened: "Xu'er?"
After he was fully dressed, he opened the door and saw his son who was in a panic. He felt a little uneasy and asked, "What happened?"
"Mom, I'm afraid a storm is coming this time..."
Jun Ruoxu whispered to Kuang what happened tonight, and Kuang cursed secretly: "Confused!" The beads in his hand spun very fast.
"Although the Crown Prince has been granted the title now, his foundation in Yunnan is not yet stable, and he may be recalled to the capital at some time. He definitely doesn't want to start a big fight. Now that he is willing to step back and let the Jun family make up the money owed, he is being generous.
, but your grandfather is still lucky!"
It was my mother who could see it clearly. Jun Ruoxu sighed: "I tried to persuade my grandfather like this, but he didn't listen. My uncle and all the brothers refused when they heard that they wanted to make up for the money."
Kwong secretly hated it.
The old man only has one legitimate son, Jun Mingzhang, and now Ruoxu is the only legitimate son. In the future, most of the Jun family will belong to Ruoxu. However, the old man has frequent inauspicious plans. I am afraid that the family business will not be saved. Jun
The clan is about to fall apart.
"Mother, my grandfather sent someone to find my aunt. If he wants to use the Duke of the country to put pressure on the prince, I think it will anger the prince. Mother, should we send someone to inform Mr. Jiao's family and find a solution with them?
"
Mr. Jiao has been in an important position in recent years and has many staff and subordinates in his family. He should be able to do something better than the Jun family.
"No!" Mrs. Kuang stopped him.
"In my opinion, if the prince can attack Lord Jiao and say that he will attack Lord Jiao if there is no money tomorrow at three o'clock at noon, he must have evidence. He should not dare to hurt Lord Jiao's life, but he can take Lord Jiao and send him to
The Ministry of War in the capital can still do it. I’m afraid that it also has a back-up plan, and may have sent people to keep an eye on the Jiao family.”
If Ruoxuruo asked someone to contact Jiao Zan's people, he was afraid that the prince would be angry with him.
Kuang thought for a moment and then ordered: "My son, don't do anything. This is a grudge between the prince and the old man. Don't get involved."
Ms. Kuang didn't want her son to get involved. No matter if she was called selfish or ruthless, she just wanted to keep her son's line.
"I asked you to deal with property before and asked you to buy property in the Central Plains. Are you prepared?"
Jun Ruoxu nodded.
"Okay then, go back and pretend nothing happened. If the sky falls, there will still be someone tall to hold it up."
In Cuihuang Courtyard, there was a sound of gently pressing the screen window.
Mu Yan's eyes suddenly opened. He lowered his head and glanced at Huo Xi, who was sleeping soundly on his arm. He gently moved her and lifted her quilt to get out of bed.
"What's wrong?" Huo Xi asked in a daze.
"Good boy, go to sleep. I'll go out and take a look. It's in the courtyard." Huo Xi patted her gently through the brocade quilt, and her breathing slowed down. Mu Yan then crept out.
In the darkness, Zhufeng flashed: "Your Majesty, you have sent someone to the second room."
Mu Lai nodded, as expected. "Keep watching. No matter who comes, just tell me what I told you. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it tomorrow. Madam is sleeping and no one is allowed to disturb her."
