Su really went to Yunyang City on the second day.
The Zeng family and the Ren family were only in the stage of discussing relatives before, and they did not exchange tokens and Geng stickers, so the Ren family wants to refuse now, and even if the Zeng family is not happy, there is no other way.
The Su family came back in the afternoon of the same day when they went to Yunyang City, and told Mrs. Ren that the Su family would come forward to help the Ren family and the Zeng family clarify this matter, and the old lady Ren thanked the Su family.
Over there, Master Ren has begun to run around for Mrs. Ren's release from prison, but the Ren family has been busy for a few days, entrusted a lot of relationships, and spent a lot of money, but the government just refuses to let go, but fortunately, Master Yang, who has a better relationship with the Ren family, told Master Ren that he had invited a doctor to go to the prison to treat Mrs. Ren before, and Mrs. Ren had regained fever after drinking a few doses of medicine. The Ren family finally put a snack.
In this way, after the old lady Ren stayed in prison for seven or eight days, the old lady Mu was finally willing to see the old man of the Ren family. After Master Ren came out before, he also looked for Master Mu a few times, but Master Mu refused to see anyone from the Ren family again, not even Master Yang's side.
The Ren family was pleasantly surprised when they learned the news, thinking that this matter had finally taken a turn for the better.
So on this day, Master Ren went to see Master Mu accompanied by Ren Shimao and Lin Kun, while everyone in the Ren family was anxiously waiting for news at home.
I don't want to, Master Ren, they have been gone like this for most of the day, and when they come back, it will be dark. Old Lady Ren hurriedly asked Master Ren to come over for questioning.
Mrs. Ren's original body was not bad, and after Mr. Ren came out, she could get out of bed after a few days of rest, but this toss made her look a lot tired.
Even if Mrs. Ren doesn't invite Mr. Ren, Mr. Ren will still come to Ronghua Courtyard first, because there are some important things that must be discussed with Mrs. Ren or even the people in each room of the Ren family.
When Mrs. Ren saw Master Ren coming, she immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Has the government agreed to release the people? ”
Master Ren sighed tiredly: "Mother, let people invite the third brother and the second brother of Dongfu to come over, there are some things I am afraid that I can't make up my mind." ”
Mrs. Ren listened to him. Seeing that the fifth master Ren and Lin Kun, who came back with Master Ren, had a serious face, her heart couldn't help sinking, she immediately ordered the maid to go to the East Mansion to invite someone, and asked people to call Ren Shimin over.
After the second master of Dongfu and Ren Shimin came over, Lord Ren said, "Today, Lord Mu is relieved." ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and the old lady Ren breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest and said with some reproach: "It's a good thing that the government can relax, and your appearance scared me." ”
Master Ren sighed: "It's really a good thing to be willing to let people go, but the Ren family also needs to pay some price." ”
Second Master Ren frowned and said, "What price?" ”
Master Ren Wu said: "Master Mu said that this matter is too much to do. Originally, my father could not be released. But considering that our Ren family is just an ordinary merchant, and there has been no one who has committed adultery over the years, and the Yanbei Wangfu has some impressions of our Ren family, I agree that we can be dealt with lightly. ”
"What kind of leniency is that?" Old lady Ren said urgently.
The fifth master of Ren said in a deep voice: "Either hand over half of the coal mines and coal stacks under the name of the Ren family, or give 1.5 million taels of silver, and then take out sixty percent of the interest from the Ren family's coal mines and coal stacks every year to hand it over, and pay it for ten consecutive years from next year." ”
"What!" Old Lady Ren was about to jump over, and she said angrily, "This is called light hair? So what is falling from the reissue? ”
Master Ren said in a difficult tone: "Do you know the Yu family and the Wu family in Ningxia?" It was also the two families that were implicated because of the Zeng family this time. The adult men of the Yu and Wu families, including the head of the family, were all beheaded. Men and all women under the age of thirteen were made official slaves, and all the property of the two families was confiscated. ”
As soon as Master Ren's words came out, the room was silent.
Master Ren glanced around at everyone, then closed his eyes and said, "Do you think we still have a choice?" ”
Mrs. Ren felt a wave of dizziness. Fortunately, she knew that it was not the time to faint, so she forced herself to ask the eldest master: "Is there really no other way?" Isn't this to cut me off from the back of my family? ”
Master Ren smiled bitterly and comforted: "If you stay in Qingshan, you don't have to worry about no firewood, and people can still earn back these losses, if people are gone." What can it be? Aren't these someone else's? ”
Mrs. Ren was stunned and stopped talking.
Master Ren rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I have already told Master Mu that this matter is too important, and I need to see my father to make a decision." Master Mu has promised me to visit my father in prison tomorrow. ”
Only then did the old lady Ren have some energy, and said busily: "Yes, yes, this matter still needs your father's idea, you go and discuss with him tomorrow to see what to do." "Since Mrs. Ren married into the Ren family, the big things in the family are all decided by Mrs. Ren, and she thinks that as long as Mrs. Ren knows what to do, maybe he can come up with any way to make things turn around.
After all, taking out 1.5 million taels of silver and handing over 60% of the annual interest rate is also a nerve-wracking thing for the Ren family, and Mrs. Ren herself does not dare to take this idea.
Because this matter still depends on Mrs. Ren to decide, Mrs. Ren asked everyone in each room to go back.
Ren Yaoqi also learned about this matter after the third master came back.
Master Ren San said optimistically: "If your father can come out just by spending some silver, and the Ren family can be safe, then just spend some silver." ”
Ren Yaochi shook her head and sighed secretly, if Ren of the Ren family thought like her father, then there would not be so many disputes and rights and wrongs. When it comes to money, where is it so simple? I'm afraid the Ren family will have trouble next.
On the second day, Master Ren really went to visit Mrs. Ren in prison, and when he returned, the rooms of the Ren family gathered in Ronghua Courtyard.
Master Ren said: "Father agreed, just do what Master Mu said." Every year after that, the government will send someone to check our accounts to make sure that 60% of the income is handed over. In addition, we were afraid that we would not be able to come up with so much cash at once, so Lord Mu agreed that we would pay it in three installments within a year. ”
The crowd looked at each other and said nothing.
Mrs. Ren asked, "Then when will your father come back?" ”
Master Ren said: "When the accounts of the coal mine and the coal stack are handed over clearly, and the father can come out after paying 500,000 taels of silver first." I will tell the person to do it as soon as possible, today I saw my father, although he is not feverish, but he has been coughing, and his spirit is not very good, the environment in the prison is too cold and damp, and my father is afraid that he will not be able to hold it if he stays. ”
Listening to what Master Ren said, Mrs. Ren has no opinion, anyway, she has to pay out the money, what is the difference between going out early and coming out late, can they still owe the government an account?
"Then you go and get your father back sooner."
Master Ren was about to respond, but he heard a noise outside.
Old Lady Ren frowned and said unhappily, "Who is making noise outside?" ”
Coral hurriedly ran in and reported: "Old lady, it's the old lady from Dongfu who is here, she ......"
Before Sango's words were finished, the old lady of Dongfu, Liao, strode in.
The second old man hurriedly said, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
Liao glanced at Mrs. Ren and snorted coldly, "I'm not coming?" If I don't come, the Ren family will be defeated, and I don't know what to do! She walked over and tapped Second Master Ren's forehead with her fingers, "Just be honest, what others say is what it is, if I don't look at it more, you're afraid that you won't even have bones left after being eaten." ”
Mrs. Ren said unhappily: "Second brother and sister, what do you mean by this?" ”
Liao sneered: "What do you mean? Let me ask you, do you want to take half of the Ren family's property to save your uncle from prison? Of course, I don't object to you trying to save people, but before that we do, let's divide the family! ”
Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard this.
Second Master Ren coughed lightly and said, "Mother, what are you talking about!" ”
Old lady Ren glanced at Second Master Ren, and snorted coldly in her heart, if someone hadn't deliberately told the Liao family about this matter, how could the Liao family know the Tao and choose to make trouble at this time? No wonder Second Master Ren didn't say a word just now, and he didn't even mention that he wanted to write to his father and younger brother in Kyoto to explain, it turned out that there was such a thing waiting for him.
Mrs. Ren said in her heart, saying that dogs that can bite people don't bark, Ren Shiyuan looks like he is concentrating on the Buddha and not asking about the world, and when it comes to the critical moment, he counts him the most.
Master Ren said: "Second aunt, when my grandfather was alive, he spoke first, and the Ren family is not separated. ”
Liao said: "This time and that time! If your grandfather knew that the Ren family would be defeated by you, he would have agreed to split up a long time ago! It's good for the Ren family to divide it now, right? Our Dongfu will take our share, and you will use your share to save the uncle, and half of the ancestors' inheritance will be saved, right? ”
