Chapter Eighty-Seven: Something Goes Wrong
When the steward in the front yard of Muzhai saw this letter, he directly gasped.
Hurriedly personally delivered the letter to the hands of the chief treasurer of Mu Zhai.
The big shopkeeper of Muzhai has four out of fifty this year, and his surname is Jiangdan, and he has been in charge of Jiangning Muzhai for ten years, and he has never made any mistakes.
Jiang Sheng looked at the letter and said: "Hurry up and ask someone to check the authenticity of this matter, ask Yan Yu to come over, and then go find the person who sent the letter." ”
Although 20,000 taels of silver is a lot, it is nothing to the Dong family.
But if the arrears of twenty thousand taels of silver become one hundred thousand taels of silver, it would be too much.
Not to mention an official eunuch like the Dong family, even if they are relatives of the emperor, it is impossible to expect them to pay off so much silver at once.
The Dong family is not like other families, even if they are Muzhai, it is impossible for them to force the Dong family to sell their houses and land, otherwise they will completely offend the Dong family.
It is natural to repay debts, but if he pits his master against the Dong family because of these 20,000 taels of silver, then he is a sinner.
It's best if this thing is fake, if this thing is true, then what they have to do now is to get their own 20,000 taels of silver back before Dong Wenyi dies and before other creditors come to the door.
Otherwise, if the 20,000 taels of silver can't be recovered, then they Jiangning Mansion Muzhai will be fined this year.
Not only will his fame be in vain, but he will not be reused by his master in the future.
Jiang Sheng was pacing back and forth anxiously, and suddenly he stopped and sat back, he sighed fiercely and said: "The older I get, the more useless I become, why was I messed up with this mere 20,000 taels of silver." ”
Mu Zhai has a clear division of labor on weekdays, with a competent steward in front and a steward who specializes in managing accounts and a steward who asks for debts.
As long as he is stable, then Jiang Ning Muzhai will not have an accident, he adjusted his mentality and waited for Yan Yu.
Yan Yu hurriedly walked in and said, "What's wrong?"
The chess game a while ago made Mu Zhai busy with a person turning over on his back, and the housekeeper and the gentlemen of the account room were busy for ten days before sorting out the account books that day.
And from the first day, Yan Yu, the debtor, began to be busy non-stop.
Those with a slightly better reputation must be put first, and those with a relatively poor reputation must be asked first.
If it's a little easier, let his subordinates go, and if it's troublesome, he will have to take someone to ask for it himself.
Asking for a debt is also a matter of skill, because you can't drive people to death or run away.
So they are very busy these days, and the big shopkeeper must be in a special hurry to find him at this time.
Jiang Sheng picked up the letter on the table and handed it over, saying, "Take a look." “
Yan Yu took the letter and looked at it, only to see him frowning, and said after a while: "I'll take someone to ask for it." “
Jiang Sheng said: "The person who went to investigate this matter has not come back yet. “
Yan Yu said: "Don't wait, Dong Wenyi always owes us money, in case this thing is true, in case the person who wrote the letter sent more than just us, then ......."
The big shopkeeper said anxiously: "Why didn't I think of this, you take someone now, I will arrange for someone to send it to you, we must return this silver money before the others." “
Yan Yu said, "Yes." He turned around and left, he didn't take too many people with him, and directly took two horseback riders who knew the kung fu of the family.
And at this moment, Wang Shi's last letter has also been sent to Zuixianglou.
Because it was not yet night at this time, the door of Zuixiang Building was closed, so Wang Shi had to hand over the letter to the little beggar and send it to the only back door where he could enter and exit.
Zuixianglou does not do business during the day, and only a few regular customers will enter Zuixianglou from the back door to eat flower wine.
Wang Shi also handed the letter to the beggar, but the turtle at the door didn't even ask, so he drove the little beggar away.
The little beggar tried and begged a few times, and then because a guest was coming, he met the girl who came out of it.
Seeing this, the girl directly accepted the letter, saying that she would hand it over on her behalf.
Wang Shi saw that the people inside had received the letter, so he drove the carriage to the promised place to wait for his father.
At this moment, Wang Shi's father, Wang Fugui, is eavesdropping on the conversation at the next table in the teahouse.
The people at that table were the group of people who calculated Dong Wenyi, and at this moment Zhang Chao was talking about the fact that he sent Dong Wenyi back yesterday, and there were no boys between three and five years old in Xi Dong at all.
They are so poor that they wouldn't have come to such a place to consult.
And at this moment, Wang Fugui has figured out what happened.
Wang Fugui paid the tea and silver, and then went to the designated place to wait for Wang Shi.
After their father and son met, Wang Shi first said Dong Ruyi's explanation.
I saw Wang Fugui say: "Our eldest lady is smart, let's go, let's not go home, go to Liuying Hutong." “
In this way, they went to Liuying Hutong and met a local snake in Jiangning Mansion, known as Jia Boss or Jia Dibao.
This Jia Laomen has a wide road and is righteous, but most of those who want to buy a property in the local area will come to him.
And if anyone wants to sell what house, especially those who are in a hurry, they will also ask for him.
Boss Jia had dealt with Wang Fugui before, and the yard they live in now was bought from Boss Jia, and Granny Wen was first introduced to him by Boss Jia.
Jia Lao Dao: "What is the important matter for Uncle Wang to come over at this time?"
Wang Fugui said: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this is my son Wang Shi, who is honest, and specially brought it over to recognize the door." ”
Jia Laodao: "Brother Wang doesn't have to be polite, it's all his own brother's business, but if there is any benefit, don't treat the elder brother badly." ”
Wang Shigang hurriedly said: "Where the words, where the words." ”
Wang Fugui said: "If I have something to say, just say it, I got the news that someone will sell the house and land in a few days." Whether it's a house or a Zhuangzi, it's a shop, as long as the location is good, I want it. You'll have to leave it to me then. ”
Jia Laodao: "This is impossible, those who should have sold houses and land before, they have all been sold." ”
Boss Jia looked at Wang Fugui's smiling face, and hurriedly said, "Brother, what kind of gossip does it have?"
Wang Fugui whispered: "I overheard about the tenth master of the Dong family in the teahouse today, and I heard that the tenth master of the Dong family owes 100,000 taels of silver, and the master of the Dong family still doesn't know about it.
Boss Jia hurriedly said, "Is this serious?"
Wang Fugui nodded and said, "Although Dong Shiye may have been hit by the immortal jump, the IOU written in black and white should always be counted." ”
Jia Laodao: "Okay, if this is true, if you have a good house and a good land, I will be the first to find you." ”
Wang Fugui and Wang Shi thanked Boss Jia before returning home.
And at this moment, the Dong family is already extremely lively.
