Chapter 787 Debt Repayment
The aunts naturally didn't quite understand Ye Zhinan's transportation of silver to Duan's mansion, but they more or less knew that the Duan family had been helped by the previous eldest lady over the years, and even some people in private said that Duan Tiande and Ye Zhinan were still worried about each other at all, and the reason why they were separated must be something inside.
The aunts don't know, but that Second Uncle Duan knows it!
It is true that Duan Tiande is the head of the family, but it is impossible for him to completely run the family by himself, and he must always have a helper. And Second Uncle Duan, as a relatively tough elder of the previous generation, naturally joined in, especially after Duan Tiande's parents died, he actively helped Duan Tiande take care of the Duan family together.
Of course, he is only in charge of the Duan Mansion, and he has nothing to do with Duan Tiande's affairs outside, such as raising private soldiers and the like.
So when the book of silent words came to him, he took a look at it and immediately understood that Bai Heran had come prepared. Because he basically has an impression of these things written on the list, they are indeed what Ye Zhinan has been constantly transporting over the past ten years......
Everything is from the dowry of Chun Yulan, and in the past, Ye Zhinan did not dare to blatantly transport the silver sent in by the Red Mansion to the outside world, especially to Dezhen, which was taboo. But Chun Yulan's dowry is different, Bai Xingyan is disgusted, she doesn't look at it, and she doesn't care about it, so it's more convenient for her to steal it.
And Chun Yulan's dowry is all from Gebu, and there are many things in Fanguo that are different from those of Eastern Qin, which is particularly easy to distinguish. So much so that the second uncle flipped through the book and quickly determined the authenticity.
But what about the truth? He didn't want to give it back. Not to mention that these things have been spent almost all, even if there are still them, how can they spit out what has already been eaten in their mouths?
So the second uncle shook his head, "I don't understand, what are these?" Ye Zhinan used to be the eldest lady of Duan Mansion, but she had already reconciled with Tiande, how could she still send things to Duan Mansion? ”
Bai Heran glanced at him, ignored him, and only spoke to Zhang Chen, the magistrate: "Lord Zhang, since the Duan Mansion doesn't admit it, then bother the official government to check it!" I will thoroughly check the expenses of the Duan family in the past ten years, and search this mansion again to see if it is possible for the things on my list to be searched in the Duan mansion. These things are my mother's dowry, all from Gebu, it is easy to tell, if there are things in the Duan family, then ask if they are not sent by Ye Zhinan, then what is their relationship with Gebuguo? Why are there items in the house that have been passed down from the Gobu royal family? Could it be that the Duan family has a close relationship with the country of Gebu? This is Dongqin, and it has close contacts with the Gobu royal family, what is the Duan family going to do? ”
After saying this, the people of Duan Mansion were collectively trembling, but Bai He Ran had not finished speaking: "In addition, I think today's matter also needs to be further investigated, I suspect that this matter is the real Duan Tiande Master Duan, who colluded with that fake one, and let him stabilize Duan Mansion and stabilize the court, while the main lord himself is carrying out some unknown secret affairs behind his back." This kind of secret matter is very likely to endanger our Eastern Qin, so we have to check it carefully. Once it is found out that this is the case, then if you want to come to the Duan family to destroy the nine clans, you still can't escape! ”
When she said this, she sighed heavily, and looked at the people of the Duan family with a kind of pity: "It's really a pity for you, I originally thought that the great crime of destroying the Nine Clans had escaped, but I didn't expect that the peak turned around, went around and went back to the original point." What a sacrifice for life! ”
Bai Heran's words made everyone present feel cold, didn't they say that they would not destroy the Nine Clans? Didn't you say that the sins were all taken by the fake ones, and there was nothing wrong with them? How did this come back all at once? Didn't you just work in vain?
The fourteenth aunt stepped forward timidly and asked Bai Heran tentatively: "Sister, no, Your Royal Highness the Princess, if our Duan family returns all these things from the eldest lady, then there is no need to check again?" ”
Bai Heran thought for a while and shook his head, "I can stop checking, but you are not humane, have no sympathy, and have no sense of justice, and silently say that I was imprisoned in the Duan Mansion without rescue, and this matter will still annoy His Highness Shi. How he cleans up the Duan Mansion, then I really can't control it. I would like to remind you, the person of the Ten Highnesses...... Tsk, it's very unscrupulous to do things! ”
Zhang Chen also echoed: "That's right, this official thinks that it is better to provoke the Ten Highnesses than to be exterminated by the Nine Clans!" ”
The Duan family has cramps in their legs and stomachs, what can I do? Wouldn't it be okay to give, and it wouldn't be okay not to give? Dare you Bai Heran saved the Duan family, but in the end, it was for the Duan family to die in your hands? What kind of enmity does the Duan family have against you?
Someone just wanted to ask that, but the words came to their lips and swallowed back. Do you still need to ask, there is clearly a hatred! Didn't everyone say that these things belonged to her mother, and it was Ye Zhinan who stole the dowry of her mother's family to subsidize the Duan family, isn't this hatred enough?
"The eldest lady is really haunted!" Some aunts couldn't help it and began to complain, "Everyone has left the house, but they still have to be involved with the master, and they have to steal things and send them to the Duan family." What is this for? Let the Duan family sell the stolen goods for her? This kind of woman is really shameless, but the old man still has an unforgettable old love for her, it's really damned! ”
"That's it! Always say that we are like her, where are we like her? We don't have as much heart as hers, and we don't have as much courage as hers! I was really hurt by her, I knew that today, I would have been killed by my head and I wouldn't marry to Duanfu. It's a pity that my children have been born, and now I want to take her to die with me, so I can't bear it! ”
For a while, the women cried, and the second uncle's face became more and more ugly.
He can see that His Royal Highness the Ten is the Demon King, and this princess is even more Demon King than His Royal Highness the Ten, and she is the Great Demon King.
What is now in front of the Duan family are two paths, one is life and the other is wealth, that is, one is life and the other is death.
The words have come to this point, and then looking at the attitude of Zhang Chen, the magistrate, it is clear that he is obedient to Bai Heran, what else can he do? Can he still feel sorry for the Duan family's wealth and be tough with Baihe? Obviously just right!
So, Second Uncle Duan let go, took the initiative to open the Duan family's warehouse, and counted the items according to the records in the notebook.
Of course, most of the objects were no longer available, so they had to be converted into silver taels.
This silver tael was not folded by themselves, but Zhang Chen came forward to invite Mr. into the house to convert it to ensure that Bai Heran only made money and did not lose.
The count took half a day and a night, and was not completed until the next morning. Bai Heran had a good night's sleep and had breakfast, so he came to see it himself.
When the Duan family handed over a large amount of property and a large amount of silver tickets to Bai Heran, they thought that this matter was over, but they didn't think about it, but Bai Heran was not satisfied with this result at all. She told the Duan family: "This is just a single point, everything is complete, but ten years, what about ten years of interest?" Do you eat mine and use mine, for ten years, without any interest at all? ”
So the Duan family sent another silver ticket worth 20%, and finally Bai Heran expressed his satisfaction.
She told the Duan family: "It is natural to repay debts, you don't have to be too unwilling." These things were not yours in the first place, but you have spent them in the past ten years, so in this way, I have another favor in Duan Mansion. ”
The Duan family is about to cry, one favor almost bankrupted their family, and how can they repay the law with one more favor?
Second Uncle Duan rolled his eyes in anger, and he had to rely on the little guy on the side to keep smoothing his back to ease his breath. Individual aunts also cast resentful eyes on Bai Heran, but they were all secret, and no one dared to be blatant.
The fourteenth aunt who had the most contact with Bai Heran didn't react until this moment, it turned out that she was being used, this Bai Heran was originally here to take revenge, no matter whether Duan Tiande was true or not, sooner or later she would have to get back what belonged to her mother. All this that happened in the Duan Mansion was just an episode for Bai Heran, but Bai Heran successfully used this episode, using all the people in the Duan Mansion and the official government, not only captured the fake Duan Tiande in one fell swoop, but also moved the Duan family's treasury completely.
It was indeed all gone, and there was not much silver left in the Duan family's account, and the silver was all brought to Gebu by the real Duan Tiande. Of course, the people in Duan Fuzhong didn't know the truth about these things, and they thought that they had been squandered by the fake head of the family. Now seeing that in order to compensate Bai He for those things, not only did he loot the treasury and tents, but also sold many shops and granges, and even half of this Duan Mansion was mortgaged. In addition, the valuable things of each house and courtyard were also obtained.
It's all so miserable, I still have to owe someone a favor, oh no, two graces, how can I pay it back?
The people of Duan Mansion no longer have the spirit, and even the second uncle has no heart to fight with Bai He.
The old man is dead, but the people of the Duan family still have to survive, the children have to grow up, and the elders have to provide for the elderly. Bai Heran's kindness can't be repaid, otherwise the government will not let go of the Duan family, and the ten princes will not let go of the Duan family. Although the captured Duan Tiande is a fake, Princess Yan is also in the Duan family, and Bai Heran is going to be arranged as an aunt, and they don't care about it.
If these things were known to the Ten Princes, the Duan family would be finished. The Duan family without Duan Tiande has no backbone, the second uncle is already old, and it's okay to be a scoundrel, but it's too bad to be the master. In this way, if the Duan family wants to continue to survive, they can only ask the government for protection. Since he asked for the government, the white crane in front of him could not be offended.
The Duan family confessed, and Bai Heran Jun Lingxi and his party left the Duan Mansion satisfied, carrying a huge amount of silver tickets, driving a carriage full of belongings, and once again embarked on the road back to Beijing.
As for Dezhen's side, Zhang Chen will have his own cooking, although Bai Heran didn't ask, but Zhang Chen's identity can be guessed seven or eight times out of ten......
