Chapter Ninety-Eight: Debt Repayment

Fu Yin comforted him and said: "This group of people is all gang-based, so after the money is defrauded, they don't have time to deal with it in time because they have to run away." Fortunately, if our wanted warrant finds out the whereabouts, it may still be possible to recover the stolen money, you can rest assured, I don't dare to charter other people's money. But once this gang is caught and gets the stolen money, you will return all your money to you first. "This can be regarded as the government Yin's fake public help to curry favor with Gao Chen.

When Gao Chen heard Fu Yin's words, he felt a little better, but when he thought that 300,000 silver had been wasted in vain, and he had to take the right to mine the gold mine, if this matter was known by the eldest brother, he would lose his skin if he didn't die, Gao Huan usually hates people who use power for personal gain, not to mention that he still buys officials.

Later things were like this, Xu Gongzi was caught red-handed in the Huainan area where he was cheating, and he was very troubled, and was known by Li Yuan's father who was passing by, he felt that Xu Gongzi had great potential, so he took money to help him get things done, and then pulled him into the gang, originally planned to go to Guanzhong to cheat, but halfway heard that the people in Guanzhong were not living in a big drought, so he simply turned his head and went north to Yecheng, all of them were under the rule of Gao Huan, the Eastern Wei Dynasty was peaceful, and the people were rich. Originally, he didn't want to involve Gao Chen, but after seeing Gao Chen in the teahouse by chance, he temporarily decided to attack him.

Xu Gongzi said several times that he didn't want to provoke Gao Huan, and he was afraid that he would be hunted down and killed in the future, but Li Yuan's father had already thought about it, he planned to go to the northwest for a few years after deceiving this time, and then return to his hometown in Sichuan to enjoy happiness after the rumors passed. Originally, he took his fellow villagers Chunjiao and Lu'e to defraud several old men in Jiangnan of huge sums of money. You ask me what is the role of the butler in this scam? He is Lu'e's father and Li Yuan's father's fellow villager, think about it, can a father who can watch his daughter betray her hue be a good person? He is usually responsible for finding targets as Li Yuan's father's housekeeper, and then knocking on the target, instigating him to get the money no matter what way he uses, and then arranging escape routes and preparing affairs before the deeds are revealed, so he looks inconspicuous on the surface in Li Yuan's gang of liars, but in fact he plays a very important role.

Gao Chen was also frightened in the last few days, seeing that the day of repaying the money was getting closer and closer, he estimated that Xu Er didn't want to be able to repay the money, so that he could have a chance to get involved in the gold mine.

When people have money, they all treat you as a master, once they have no money and are down, they will avoid you like avoiding the plague, Gao Chen thought that he had experienced the heat and coldness of the world at this time, and he was helpless if he was not convinced, 300,000 taels was not a small amount, he would definitely not be able to plug this hole, thinking about it, he thought that a person might be able to help him tide over the difficulties.

This person is his brother-in-law Murong Shaozong, he is now the core figure in Gao Huan's group, he should not burn money, if he can come forward to help him borrow 300,000 silver, it would be great.

Gao Chen thought of this, so he bought a gift: a large gift box of a bite of crisp (Yecheng's famous snack and dim sum), and came to Murong Mansion with a glimmer of hope.

"Why did Brother Chen have time to come to see me today?" Gao Lan was a little surprised by Gao Chen's appearance, usually this kid is a gun can't be missed, but today he took the initiative to visit, as the so-called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, Gao Lan has been like a mirror to him in his heart, but in the face of a milk compatriot, he can't avoid it.

"My sister and brother-in-law have been doing well lately, my mother wants me to come and visit my sister from time to time, I myself have been busy with official work and have no time to spare, today is not the morning shift on duty, so I came with gifts to see my sister and my nephew." With that, put a bite of the crisp on the table.

It stands to reason that with the status of Murong Shaozong and Gao Lan now, I have never seen any expensive gifts, this younger brother came to the door with a box of crisps, he can neither dislike nor refuse, and Gao Lan also belongs to that kind of real person, he has no heart, and he happily accepted the gift at the moment, and asked the nurse to take the child out for Gao Chen to see.

Gao Chen's drunkard didn't mean to drink, and besides, how could he be interested in the child, he felt that the child was crying and annoying to death, so he was not interested in playing with a child of a few years old, and pretended to ask casually: "Brother-in-law hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Yes, today I said that I was called by Brother Huan to discuss the emergency military situation, it seems that there is something urgent in Xuzhou, and I haven't come back yet, so I won't send someone to tell you if I will come to dinner." Gao Lan hugged the child and told the truth.

Gao Chen was a little disappointed in his heart, but when he thought of 300,000 taels, he had to ask stubbornly: "My brother-in-law is not here, can my sister call the shots in this family?" ”

"What does Brother Chen mean by this?" Gao Lan didn't understand what he meant. "To tell you the truth, my brother and I have something important to ask my sister to save my life. Gao Chen still didn't hold back, so he told him about his huge debts.

After Gao Lan heard his words, she complained angrily: "You said you, if you really want to be an official, tell Brother Huan, with the relationship between your two brothers, can he not satisfy you?" It's good now, you went out to borrow money to buy an official and were deceived, and you still used the gold mine as collateral, and he will definitely not spare you if he knows about such a thing. ”

"Didn't I think of borrowing money from my sister when I was forced to have no choice, you must not tell my eldest brother about this, otherwise I will be really miserable." Gao Chen looked pitiful and aggrieved, and pretended to be very good.

Gao Lan sighed and complained: "What do you really want me to say about you, you are so old and still do things like children, this kind of thing will know that it is a scam at a glance, only you will be fooled." It's time for you to find a woman to take care of it. Gao Chen's depressed Xiangtai retorted, is this the time to discuss marriage? Gao Lan saw that he knew his thoughts like that, so he said: "When I married your brother-in-law, I didn't have any decent dowry, so Brother Huan sent two mansions and some gold, silver and jewelry, plus the little money that your brother-in-law has worked hard in the past two years, it is not enough to pay off your debts." ”

Gao Chen got angry when he heard this, and immediately stood up and said: "That's it, I also think of you and my sister and brother, and now I have an urgent matter to ask you for help, but you are so prevaricating, forget it, you just don't think I've been here, I deserve to die, say goodbye!" After saying that, he shook his head and went out.

Gao Lan hurriedly pulled him and said hurriedly: "Don't go, you listen to me." Seeing Gao Chen stop, Gao Lan said in a harmonious voice: "I can only let my mother find a way to do this, sister, I am really powerless and can't help it." ”

"My mother is so old, and she has a little private money that has been taken away by her father, what can she do for me? Are you still expecting her to go out and lend me money? Gao Chen yelled at Gao Lan angrily, what kind of bad idea is this?

"Brother Chen, don't worry, you listen to your sister's words." Gao Lan didn't care about the presence of the nurse and the housekeeper, and said bitterly to Gao Chen: "I think the only way for you to do this is to let my mother go to Brother Huan to find a way, you think, Brother Huan is a filial son, even if he is reluctant to get angry again, he has to see his mother's face to help you, and besides, it is much better for you to beg your mother than to go outside to borrow again!" ”

Don't say it, Gao Lan is really right. When Gao Chen heard this, he was also grateful, turned around and grabbed Gao Lan's hands and said, "Sister, I knew that you still thought about me, so I will go to my mother for help." After saying that, he left relaxedly. Gao Lan looked at his departing back, shook his head, sighed, and turned back to the house.

As the saying goes, the youngest son is hurt, this is not wrong at all, the youngest child is always pampered at home, Gao Chen cried and wiped his tears to tell his tragic experience, and at the same time told Gao Han about his miserable situation of being collected for debts, the youngest son of the old woman who loved the most was bullied like that, and the mood of protecting the calf was spontaneous, and he patted his chest and said to Gao Chen: "Mother, I must ask your brother to help you deal with this matter today." Can money be exchanged for my son's physical safety? With that, he led Gao Chen to the Qi Palace.

It was Lou Mingchun who met them, Cai Huang couldn't come out to greet him because he was still in confinement, the old lady looked at the affection of her grandson not long after she was born, Gao Huan hadn't come back yet, so she just waited, so Lou Mingchun asked people to prepare dinner, and let Gao Chen and Gao Han have dinner in the palace.

Gao Chen suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, dare to ask who the two ladies who were eating in the side hall just now?" Lou Mingchun said a little embarrassed: "The older one is the Li family, and the younger one is called Feng Niang, both of them are your brother's favorite concubines." Gao Chen was silent.

During this meal, the Li family threw him several flattering eyes, and the coquettish taste of the made him feel happy, but when he heard that this girl was his brother's woman, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, thinking that one day he would occupy this woman to vent his depression.

Gao Huan rushed back after being urged by Hongyu. As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly shouted: "Mother, what is the matter with your son, I really have an urgent military situation to deal with here." With that, he handed the horsewhip and sword to Gao Zhongming, and walked into the living room with his feet.

Gao Hanshi said with an old face: "What's the matter, I want to see my grandson, I want to see you, do I have to queue up to notify you in advance?" ”

Gao Huan hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "That's not what you said, my mother-in-law, you can wronged my son and I came." Only then did he realize that Gao Chen was also there, and then turned his head and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Gao Han was a little angry when he heard this: "He is your own brother, do you want to report to you when he comes to your house to sit?" When you two brothers were still young, I took you with a handful of and a handful of urine......" The old lady took out the history of blood and tears that raised Gao Huan and the two brothers back then, and said that these things have been said by Gao Han no less than hundreds of times since their father Gao Shu started messing around outside every day without home.

Gao Huan hurriedly apologized and said: "My mother-in-law, I was wrong, I shouldn't have talked like that, Brother Chen wants to come to my house at any time in the future, okay, everyone's brothers." ”

When Gao Chen heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and a bad idea came to his mind. At the moment, he quietly continued to listen to Gao Han's words: "Brother Huan, now the whole world is yours, and I want you to do something for my mother." ”

"Oh, my mother, you just have to tell me something, don't tell me to ask, you can say something wrong if I do it, why bother like this." Gao Huan couldn't bear this old lady today, what's the matter, she spoke with insinuations and a stick.

"Your brother has been doing bad things outside lately and owes a lot of money to others, so you need to help him. Otherwise, my son would be gone. "After that, he cried and wiped his tears.

Lou Mingchun hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Mother, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't be like this, we are all a family, what can't you help solve?" "In the end, I lived with the old lady at the beginning, this Lou Mingchun is good to speak, when he was in Pingcheng, he relied on her to make the decision so that Gao Han's family did not suffer, so in Gao Han's heart, Lou Mingchun has always had weight in speaking.

At that moment, the old lady wiped the corners of her eyes without tears, and choked up: "Only what you say will my wife believe it." After glaring at Gao Huan, Gao Huan smiled a little helplessly: "Mother, if my brother has anything, just say it, I can help him solve it, it's all right." ”
