Chapter 31: Robbery

The IOU in black and white, and the red letter of appointment are indeed clearly written on it.

It was indeed Siyu's younger brother who sold his own sister to the Zuo family to repay his debts.

When the neighbors saw it, it was so.

Looking at it again, the silver taels owed were actually 10,000 taels of silver, and they all gasped.

10,000 taels of silver, something that I can't even think of is for these many small merchants on the long street of Fenglong Town.

Not to mention 10,000 taels of silver, it is very rare to be able to see five taels of silver all year round.

The most common thing is to see a few times of money, and it is already very satisfied.

There are two taels of silver, and the family can live in harmony with Meimei, and they have lived with enough food and clothing for two or three years.

10,000 taels of silver!

In their impression, I am afraid that only the emperor will be so rich.

The Chen family actually owed the Zuo family 10,000 taels of silver, and when the neighbors saw this, they knew that they were at a loss, and the hoe was also put down, and the broom and kitchen knife in their hands were also quietly hidden.

Zhang Butcher quickly put away the knife and sighed deeply, but some neighbors were also happy for Siyu.

After all, it is already a very remarkable thing that the children of poor families can go to a large family to be concubines.

Moreover, the Zuo family is so rich and powerful, and Zuo Taishi is a court official under one person and above ten thousand people.

To be able to marry into the Zuo family, what a glorious thing it is.

Therefore, Zuo Mingzhu's words suddenly made the neighbors who rushed to look complicated.

Everyone saved their minds to see the excitement and wanted to see the choice of the Chen family, but Chen's mother had completely fainted.

And Yoon-sik on the other side didn't faint, but he was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he honestly stood on the side, not daring to say anything at all.

As for Siyu, she was looking forward to the neighbors being able to save her, but she saw that the initial energy of the neighbors gradually dissipated as Zuo Mingzhu took out the IOU or letter of appointment.

Coupled with the prestige of Jinyiwei, the neighbors did not dare to rush into the people of the Zuo family.

After all, in front of them, there was Zuo Taishi who was the only granddaughter, Zuo Mingzhu.

Although they didn't know that Zuo Taishi had such a granddaughter, they knew that Zuo Taishi was indeed a loyal general of the Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to Wenyuan Pavilion scholars, everyone knows that everyone knows it, except for the emperor, it is Zuo Taishi.

How dare the people confront the imperial court, for a while, the arrogance disappeared, and the brocade guard with a black mark on his face beside Zuo Mingzhu obviously noticed this change, and he immediately straightened his waist, and the fox and tiger became powerful.

led several subordinates, holding embroidered spring knives in their hands, showing off their might in front of those people, and intimidated them one by one: "Hurry up, disperse, this is the matter of the Zuo family's concubine, which has nothing to do with your ordinary people, and then dare to do this, without saying anything, he collided with the granddaughter of the Zuo Taishi, and locked you one by one to the Fusi of the north town of the capital, and when the time comes, I will put you in the edict one by one, so that you will be called every day and the earth."

When it comes to Beizhen Fusi and the Imperial Prison, all of them are notorious, and those neighbors who are scared retreat again and again, and they don't dare to meddle in their affairs.

But Zuo Mingzhu knew that Beizhen Fusi and the edict prison were actually places where ordinary ordinary people could go.

Even ordinary people who commit capital crimes, I'm afraid that you won't be able to go to prison in this life, and most of the people who can be imprisoned are not ordinary people.

At least officials of the third grade or above are eligible to enter the imperial prison.

However, this Jinyiwei's words still have some effect, after all, the small people don't know that even if they commit some heinous crimes in their lives, they will not be able to enjoy such honors.

Zuo Mingzhu felt funny in his heart, and did not show any expression on his face, but had a frosty face.

It made those neighbors even more frightened, afraid that if they continued to make trouble like this, they would really be imprisoned one by one by the Miss Zuo in front of them.

They also don't want to think about how big the place must be if so many people are put in prison.

At this time, Siyu was already completely desperate, and when she saw that the people of the Zuo family were all around, it was only because she had scissors in her hand that she didn't dare to force her too much.

She had no choice but to step back.

And the people of the Zuo family and Jinyiwei also kept pressing forward step by step, and Siyu remembered that he still had a silver ticket on him at this time.

Hurriedly said to Zuo Mingzhu: "Can I ask you for something?" I have now scraped together enough six thousand taels of silver, and there are still four thousand taels left, and lo and behold, this is a silver ticket of six thousand taels of silver, all of which belong to the Longxing number, it is true, the remaining four thousand taels, you give me a maximum of a month, and I will definitely make it up for you. ”

She thought that when she said this, Zuo Mingzhu would think about it somewhat, but where did she think that as soon as Zuo Mingzhu heard Siyu, she had already scraped together enough six thousand taels of silver, and immediately thought of Shen Canglang raising silver taels for Chen Siyu everywhere.

Thinking about it, the six thousand taels of silver must have been raised by him, and the Longxing ticket number mentioned by Siyu directly angered her.

At the beginning, the guy who did have a Longxing ticket number secretly told Zuo Mingzhu that Shen Canglang had saved 6,000 taels of silver for Chen Siyu in the silver village.

Zuo Mingzhu didn't dare to believe it at first, but now when he saw the silver ticket in Siyu's hand, a nameless fire rose in his heart.

Jealousy, resentment, and shame followed, and it made her feel insulted.

She couldn't figure out how this poor woman in front of her couldn't even find a coarse cloth dress without patches in the house.

Such a poor woman, what did Shen Canglang like about her?

I would actually lose to such an ordinary woman in the dirt, so that she, the pearl of the Zuo family, how can I be embarrassed!

I saw that her face had been distorted by anger, her apricot eyes were wide, and she stared at Chen Siyu in a daze.

Siyu saw this expression, and thought of that day in the academy, she treated herself like this, and she habitually trembled.

She was really afraid of this woman, looking at her with such an expression, since she was a child, no one had ever used this kind of eyes, this kind of expression, to be so fierce to her.

It's a pity that she doesn't know the root cause of all these things, which will only add fuel to the fire, and said, "This Miss Zuo, I just ask you to give me another month, or maybe not even a month, and in a few more days, Shen Ergongzi is estimated to raise some more silver for me to lend me, I will return this silver to you first, you give me a few days, you don't want to be like this, it's okay to force people too much?" In any case, I will never go with you today, I will never marry someone else as a concubine, although our family is very poor, but, my mother said, her daughter will never marry someone else as a concubine! ”

When Zuo Mingzhu heard this, his eyes seemed to be pricked by a needle, and he twitched, and his whole body trembled.

I was so angry that I even trembled when I spoke.

Pointing at Chen Siyu and scolding: "What kind of thing are you, you also deserve to mention Shen Ergongzi!"

She thought to herself, why did she wonder, what kind of thing did Shen Canglang like about her!

With my Zuo family, I am glorious, am I not worthy of the Shen family? My Zuo Mingzhu doesn't look too good.

Why did he treat me like this!

At this time, Zuo Mingzhu's whole person was in a hysterical shout, her guards, the surrounding Jinyi guards, and those girls and mothers-in-law stood in place in a daze, and they didn't dare to come out.

And Chen Siyu was also stunned by such a scene, she had never seen a woman so crazy since she was a child.

In the end, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thought carefully for a long time, reorganized the language, wanted to ease the contradiction, searched for some suitable words from her mind, and wanted to comfort this Zuo Mingzhu.

She seemed to be very hostile to herself, and for J not to let him not push herself so hard, after thinking about it, she thought about it for a long time, and said such a thing.

"Miss Zuo, don't blame yourself too much, Second Prince Shen, but I also see that my family is more pitiful, it was he who took the initiative to raise some silver from his friends and handed it to me, listen up, but borrow, I don't plan to ask for his silver This silver, I said that I have to pay it back, however, he has enough time to raise silver, and he is still a little uncertain, he asked me to wait patiently, so I also hope that it will last a few more days, my brother owes you 10,000 taels of silver, I will definitely try to find a way to return it, I will definitely not default, if you return to the capital, When you have time to see Shen Ergongzi, please tell him, I, Chen Siyu, thank him very much, please let him rest assured, I borrowed this silver, and I will definitely pay it back! ”

Siyu has never said such a big thing, and he is incoherent, and he seems anxious and helpless.

looked like a pitiful grievance, with a pair of big eyes full of tears, I was afraid that the tiger would be soft and cry when he heard this eager confession.

But Chen Yunzhi stomped his feet when he heard this, he really didn't understand why his old sister had to add fuel to the fire at such a critical time.

Sure enough, Yunzhi's judgment was not made, and after Chen Siyu said this, Zuo Mingzhu was so angry that he almost fainted.

If it weren't for the maid next to her, the mother-in-law was afraid that she would make a fool of herself on the spot, she eased the weather for a long time, stared at Chen Siyu with her eyes, and pointed at her but couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Okay, Chen Siyu, you can do it, you can!"

She turned her head and shouted to the brocade guards and attendants standing aside, as well as the villains in Leshantang, "What are you waiting for? Arrest her for me, even if she takes the scissors and stabs herself, it doesn't matter if she stabs herself, I here, no matter whether she lives or dies, I have to bring her back to our Zuo family, whether she is dead or alive, bring it all back to me, what happened, I will only explain to my grandfather, Zuo Taishi, it has nothing to do with you! ”

As soon as these words were said, those brocade guards immediately shouted in unison: "Obey!" After a while, all of them surrounded him, and Siyu was so frightened that he cried: "Don't come here!"
