Wang Zihan and the others discussed for a long time in the carriage, and finally decided to ask Dong Wenyi for 4,000 first, and said that for the sake of the relationship in the past, half of it would be repaid first, and the rest would be returned later.

They didn't notice it at all, and if any of them said something wrong, then if someone found out about it, it would definitely not stand up to scrutiny.

After all, this incident was in Zuixianglou, and there were many people involved at that time, so they didn't even need to be interrogated, as long as they asked one by one behind closed doors, they would be self-defeating.

Zuixianglou's carriage stopped a little farther away, and the other eight people entered Dong's house together.

Because among them, Wang Zihan and Zhang Chao are better than Dong Wenyi, so the porter didn't stop them, but just told them that the tenth master was afraid that he wouldn't be able to go out today.

Wang Zihan said: "You go and tell your tenth master, and say that we are here to ask for silver, and the silver he owes us cannot be delayed any longer." ”

Xiao Si's eyes widened, and he asked, "Excuse me, how much silver does my grandfather owe you?"

Wang Zihan said: "Why do you ask this? Hurry up and report to me." ”

The porter Xiao Si said: "Hey, Wang Gongzi, it's not that I won't inform you, I didn't see it when you just came in, Mu Zhai is here." ”

The porter Xiao Si hurriedly whispered: "Our tenth master owes Mu Zhai 20,000 taels of silver, and he was just beaten by the master, so it is estimated that he will not even be able to go down to the ground." ”

Wang Zihan was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "Actually, it's not much." Then he held out four fingers.

The porter Xiao Si exclaimed: "Four thousand taels?"

Wang Zihan slapped him over and said, "You just look at your tenth master like this, what kind of strength does he borrow for four thousand taels, forty thousand." “

The porter Xiao Si took two steps back and stumbled directly on the threshold, and Wang Zihan and the others laughed.

The porter Xiao Si hurriedly ran to the east side hall.

It's just that when he arrived outside the gate of Dongbian Hall, he heard Dong Shiye's screams, and he didn't dare to go in at all.

The porter Xiao Si walked around, so he had to ask someone to tell the big butler that he was in a hurry.

Dong Quan was already very annoyed, just now Dong Shengxing in front of the Feng family, asked him and Steward Li to exchange the Feng family's box of house deeds and land deeds for cash.

The master's 40,000 taels of silver have been settled, but looking at the face of the second lady, he really wants to cry without tears, if this thing is sold by him, will the second lady still be able to look at him in the future.

And Steward Li, who had just come out, also told him another news, now in Jiangning Mansion, except for the shops that have been handed over in the lot, can be sold at the top price, not to mention the top price, even if they are sold, they may not be sold.

In other words, Feng's 40,000 taels of Zhuangzi and shop are placed today, and it is good that they can sell 30,000 taels.

Dong Quanqi said: "Why didn't you say it just now?"

Steward Li cried with a sad face and said, "My old brother, how dare I say that situation just now." You didn't see Madame's face just now, if I say that these things of hers are only worth 30,000 taels of silver now, it is estimated that the younger brother will not live today. ”

Dong Quan shuddered, what Steward Li said was not wrong at all, he hurriedly replied: "You're right, I'll talk about this later, I'll ask people to inquire about the current market price outside, maybe it's not as low as you think." “

Steward Li nodded and said, "I hope it's like what Brother Quan said, otherwise this thing will be a hot potato." “

As they spoke, they walked out, only to see Xiao Si, the porter who had come before, dangling outside the door again.

Dong Quandao: "Why are you still here?"

Xiao Si said with a sad face: "The big butler, you can be regarded as coming out, those friends of the young master came to find the young master, and said..."

Dong Quan said impatiently: "When is it, what do you care about them, tell those young masters, just say that the tenth master has been grounded by the master, and he has no time to play with them, so let them hurry home." “

The expression of this porter can be described as bitter and hateful.

He hurriedly whispered: "The little ones said the same thing, but they said that they came to ask the tenth master for silver." ”

Dong Quan stumbled and almost didn't fall, but fortunately, Steward Li and Xiao Si, the gatekeeper, were quick and helped him.

What Dong Quan is most afraid of now is hearing such words as asking for silver and debts.

Dong Quan trembled and said, "You, what did you say?

The gatekeeper Xiao Si said: "Don't worry, the big housekeeper, the little one has been asked repeatedly, and he will never be mistaken." They said that the Tenth Master owed them 40,000 taels of silver, and this one could not be delayed any longer. “

Dong Quan scolded: "I'm relieved to fart, what? Four, forty thousand taels?"

He muttered and looked at Steward Li, "What day is this, why is this in time to ask for debts today?"

Steward Li was also frightened enough, he saw Dong Quan looking at him, and hurriedly said: "I only have 20,000 taels, and then I can only have these." ”

Dong Quan looked at the box in his hand, took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "One hundred thousand taels, we still have one hundred thousand taels in our account last morning." ”

Steward Li didn't say anything more, fortunately, he was just a money manager, and the master asked him to give it to whomever he wanted, as for the amount of silver, what he was doing, it had nothing to do with him.

Dong Quan had no choice but to go back to Dongbian Hall to report.

He felt that he was looking for death, and after today, I was afraid that when his master saw him, his heart would tremble and tremble.

At this moment, Feng was crying in the East Side Hall, she felt sorry for her silver, and she really felt sorry for her son.

Feng Shi cried: "Master, Yunli already knows that he is wrong, do you really want to kill him? Didn't I come here with 40,000 taels of silver? “

Dong Sheng said angrily: "What is 40,000 taels enough for? What is my 100,000 taels of silver for, you still don't know? Look at what is left now?"

Feng Shi sobbed in a low voice, how could she not know that some of the silver in this was reduced by her reduction in the mansion in the past two years.

Feng said: "Think about this again, I think Yunli is right, what Yunli has in character, he is the honest and honest who is sold and doesn't know." I think this matter has something to do with that Chen Mingxing. How old is Sister Rucai? I haven't had anything to do with the Dong family for three years before, and I have been to the Chen family for a month and have made so many troubles, if I want to say that there is no instigation of the Chen family, I don't believe it. The old man can't sprinkle all his anger on Yunli, if you want me to say that this silver should be out of their three rooms, the Chen family is Xianqing's Yue family, and Dong Ruyi is the child picked up by Xianqing, it stands to reason that the Chen family and Dong Ruyi should solve the trouble between them in the three rooms. What's more, now the three rooms are more silver, that is 200,000 taels of silver, according to me, even if it is 350,000 taels of filial piety to the master, it should be. ”

Dong Shengxing stopped talking, holding the teacup and didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that Dong Shengxing was silent, Feng knew that his words had entered Dong Shengxing's heart.
