Feng Jinyuan now gets a headache whenever he hears about money-related matters. As soon as the word "debt collection" comes out, his mind starts to buzz, trying desperately to remember when he borrowed money from Dingfeng Bank.
?And borrowed 200,000 taels? This is impossible! He has no impression!
Feng Jinyuan was surprised that the other members of the Feng family had the same idea as him. Cheng Junmei asked him: "Is it the debt that the master borrowed?"
The servant took over the words: "This time it's really not the master. The person who came said that the money was borrowed by the old lady before she died, and a written note was signed with a fingerprint on it."
When Feng Jinyuan heard that she was an old lady, she felt relieved. Although money was still tight, at least the face issue was saved. He said to the servant: "Go and bring the person here."
The servant was a little embarrassed and looked at the mourning hall: "Isn't this... inappropriate?"
Cheng Junman shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go to the front yard!"
Only people were left watching at the mourning hall, and the masters of the Feng Mansion walked to the front yard. Zi Rui shook Feng Yuheng's hand: "Sister, should we go back to eat, or go watch the fun?"
Feng Yuheng said: "Of course I'm going to watch the fun." After saying that, she questioned in confusion: "What did the old lady borrow this money for? The Feng family doesn't even have a land deed, so what did she mortgage?
"
With such questions, they also arrived in the front yard. Dingfeng Bank is the largest bank in the capital. It is said that the major shareholder behind the bank is a certain prince, but who exactly is it? People have been guessing over the years.
I haven't guessed what happened.
Today, a man who is nearly forty years old came to the door. He was wearing a long green cloth gown. He looked a bit elegant, but his eyes were bright and he was an extremely smart man. When this man saw the Feng family coming out, he quickly stepped forward and saluted.
He cupped his fists and bowed to say hello to Feng Jinyuan and the Cheng sisters, then half-turned around, knelt down directly in front of Feng Yuheng, and shouted: "The common people bow to the Lord of Ji'an County!"
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything, she just raised her hand and said, "Get up."
The man stood up, nodded to Feng Yuheng, then faced Feng Jinyuan, reached into his sleeve, and took out a piece of paper. "Master Feng, this is what the old lady of your house ordered before she passed away.
There were three certificates for Fengqianzhuang's loan of silver on credit. Each of us held one copy and sent it to the government office to keep one copy. Although the loan period had not yet expired, the old lady had passed away. According to regulations, this certificate
I want the current head of Feng Mansion to cash in and return it immediately."
Feng Jinyuan twisted his eyebrows and took the voucher. Sure enough, the amount of the loan was clearly written on it, and the old lady stamped her fingerprints and her personal seal. He was a little annoyed. A total of two hundred thousand taels, the old lady
What did your wife do with borrowing so much money?
At this time, Mrs. An spoke. She said: "On the second day after the heavy rain stopped, the old lady sent away the second uncle and the third uncle's family who came to seek refuge from their hometown in Fengtong County. When they left, I was also there.
After seeing them off in front of the house for a while, I seemed to hear the second uncle thanking the old lady for the settlement allowance she gave them. At that time, I thought the old lady used her own money to supplement the money, but now it seems... 80%
Is this the amount?"
Cheng Junman immediately ordered his servants: "Go and order some of the things left over from Shu Yayuan." Then he said to Feng Jinyuan: "Sister An's words are quite reasonable. At first, I was wondering why they were sent away in such a hurry.
Yes, but if you have such a large sum of money, you won’t have to worry about settling down somewhere else.”
When Mrs. Han heard this, she exploded again: "No wonder those old guys left happily, they took such a huge sum of money from our family!" She grabbed Feng Jinyuan with a panicked face: "Master,
You have to chase them back. They must have threatened the old lady. If the old lady doesn't pay, they will not leave. The old lady thinks that the house is no longer what it used to be and she has to be busy moving again, so she has no choice but to
To lend them money, what is this? It's blackmail! The poor old lady had to be threatened like this before she died. It's really sad to think about it." She wiped away her tears as she spoke, but unfortunately she just did it.
It looks like there are no tears flowing out.
The man from the bank couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Master Feng, as for why Mrs. Feng borrowed this money and where the borrowed money was spent, this is your Feng family's business. Please tell me first."
The silver has been returned, you can discuss the rest among yourselves!"
Feng Jinyuan snorted coldly and said something worse than a robber: "You can borrow money from anyone who borrows money from you!" After saying that, he put the voucher in the banker's face and waved his hand -
"see a visitor out!"
"Wait a minute!" the man shouted, desperately breaking away from the servant who had come up to pull him, and then faced Feng Jinyuan with an expression of disbelief on his face: "Master Feng, how could you say such a thing? Although
You are now a fifth-rank official, but you used to be the prime minister! Once the prime minister, one person was inferior to ten thousand people. How can a person of your status say such a thing? It is written in black and white on this certificate.
The term is one year, but if the debtor dies unexpectedly during the loan period, the debt will automatically be transferred to the loved ones. The government has recorded it, so you can’t deny it!"
He first put a high hat on Feng Jinyuan, and then brought out Dashun's laws and regulations, which made Feng Jinyuan really speechless. But he also really had no money. This was the pit dug by this old lady.
Even if he wants to fill it, he still suffers from lack of soil!
He looked at Cheng Junman in embarrassment, wanting her to come up with an idea. But Cheng Junman couldn't afford such a large sum of money, so he had to shake his head at him, expressing his helplessness.
For a moment, everyone froze here, no one knew what to do.
Not long after, the servant who went to Shu Yayuan came back and reported to Cheng Junman: "Back to Madam, in addition to some items collected by the old lady over the years, there are only less than five items in Shu Yayuan's warehouse.
Twelve taels of broken silver, not a single silver note."
Feng Jinyuan's heart went cold. He secretly scolded the old lady for being stupid and sending away those beggars from his hometown. Did he deserve to spend so much money? But the old lady was dead, so it was useless to complain. He looked at the family members in this courtyard.
, after the last land deed incident, I felt helpless again.
At this time, what people never expected was that Feng Yuheng actually spoke up. She asked the banker: "The Feng family is now just a home for a fifth-rank official. Even this house is taken back by the Holy Emperor. This county
The Lord asks you, what did the old lady use as collateral to borrow the money from you?"
The man replied: "Back to the county master, there is no mortgage."
"What?" Mr. Han shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Without any mortgage? Then you still dare to borrow money? When did Dingfeng Bank become so generous? I think back then our Wucailou used a workshop to pay you for one hundred thousand taels of silver.
You didn't do anything, and now you dare to release the money without any deposit?" She spoke freely, and in a hurry, she told the old story in Fengyue Alley before entering Feng Mansion.
As soon as he said this, it was a slap in Feng Jinyuan's face. No one in the capital knew where Wucailou was. Although Wucailou had gradually disappeared under his secret suppression in the past few years, after all, it was
After so many years of popularity, everyone still knows it when it comes to talking about it.
Now Feng Jinyuan's concubine openly said "We Wucailou" in front of outsiders. Isn't this a clear disclosure of her parentage to the public? Feng Jinyuan couldn't bear it any longer and slapped Han on the face.
After calling out, Mr. Han was hit so hard that if there hadn't been a maid nearby to hold him up in time, he would have fallen to the ground.
But she didn't dare to say anything. She also realized that she had said the wrong thing before. Such a mistake was almost fatal. If she hadn't been pregnant with the child, she really doubted that Feng Jinyuan would have sent secret guards to kill her on the spot.
She was killed.
When Mr. Han was beaten, no one tried to persuade or stop her, and no one showed any mercy. Cheng Junman told her with a cold face: "Remember your identity clearly. If you really like your old life, I will wait until the child is born."
I will arrange for someone to take you out of the house, and from now on, you will have nothing to do with the Feng family."
Mrs. Han was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she was trembling while arguing with the two girls, unable to say a word.
Feng Yuheng had no intention of watching this farce, and asked the banker: "Since there is no mortgage, why do you lend money?"
The banker said it was natural - "Because she is the grandmother of the county lord! When the old lady of the Feng family came to our Dingfeng bank, she spoke to us as the grandmother of the county lord of Ji'an. The county lord, you were still in the city at that time.
We are trying to help the world and save the people. If the Feng family is in trouble, we have to help."
This man kept looking at Feng Yuheng when he spoke. He didn't dodge or dodge, nor was he impatient or impatient. His voice was calm and his words were sure. Feng Yuheng could tell that what he said was true.
She smiled helplessly. It turned out that her face was quite valuable. It turned out that the old lady of the Feng family was not stupid at all.
Feng Jinyuan became more energetic when he heard this. He looked at Feng Yuheng eagerly and asked her: "Aheng, what do you think about this matter?"
Feng Yuheng raised her lips and said: "How else can I look at it? Since ancient times, I have been owed money to pay back debts. Is it possible that my father still wants to throw away this money? After my grandmother passed away, the person who takes the lead in the family is naturally my father, but my father can't do it now.
As the legitimate daughter of the Feng family, I have to pick up this big beam. What's more, this money is for the second uncle and third uncle's family to settle down. They have come all the way to send back all the ancestral tablets. This
If you have some money, the Feng family can't pay too much." She put her hand into her sleeves, took out two hundred thousand taels of silver notes from the space, and handed them to Huang Quan, "You go with this gentleman, come here
The government went to exchange the certificate, and the county owner paid for the money. But -" She looked at the banker again, and said with a serious face: "This is the first time, and it will also be the last time. If someone dares to borrow it next time,
If you go out to defraud in the name of my county boss, if your bank dares to borrow money again, my county boss will definitely burn down Dingfeng Bank. I will do what I say, if you don’t believe me, just give it a try."
The man from the bank was so frightened that he turned pale. He had no doubt at all about the authenticity of Feng Yuheng's words. This county owner was the future princess of the Ninth Prince. Let alone burning a bank, she would burn down half of the capital.
I'm afraid the Ninth Prince wouldn't even blink.
He quickly kowtowed to Feng Yuheng and followed Huang Quan without saying a word and walked away.
Feng Jinyuan let out a sigh of relief, and before he could say a few words, he heard Cheng Junman say in a loud voice: "Come here! Go get some pen and ink, and ask the master to make an IOU for the second lady!"
