The fifth master just smiled after hearing this. "If you don't talk about it, I'll forget about it. I should have called someone to get the money back, but I was delayed by something else. Now that you calculate this account, there should be a lot of money. But ......"

The fifth master stopped and took a breath that was not light or heavy. "You are now the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't you know that Huo Xing has swept Miss Meng out of the house today? I'm collecting debts now, isn't it just for being beaten up? I don't want to do this kind of bad work. ”

"Don't do it?" Begonia gently tapped the empty teacup wall with her fingers. "The fifth master brought the IOU, and I can ask for it myself."

The fifth master looked at her twice, and went to get the IOU in person. The smell of wine he brought up while walking made Haitang frown in disgust, "Fifth Master, I haven't drunk much of this wine." ”

The fifth master ignored her, and only threw the IOU he took to her. After reading the words on the IOU, Haitang counted it with his fingers again, "This ten thousand taels of silver, the interest is ten taels a day, and even today, there must be a ...... even the principal with interest."

She was stuck here, and the fifth master snorted lightly: "But it's only 10,000 taels." ”

"No, no, no." Haitang waved his hand, "Fifth master, count with your fingers, I borrowed 10,000 taels at the beginning, where can I only count a few thousand taels more after such a long time?" ”

"How many taels is that?"

Haitang thought about it again, "If you don't talk about it, you have to ...... seven or eight" She showed her two hands, "Profit rolling, profit on rolling profit, if you don't say anything, you will get 100,000 taels." ”

"What?" The fifth master was shocked. "One hundred thousand taels?"

Begonia snorted twice, "Am I missing again?" She patted her smooth head, "I don't like to read since I was a child, and I've been annoyed by arithmetic since I was a child. ”

The corner of the fifth master's eyes twitched twice, "I haven't dared to cheat people like this after so many years of opening my gambling house, but you ...... What a big breath. ”

Haitang put away the joke, "The fifth master has known me for so long, does he just think that I can only boast?" She called out to the man who was waiting at the door, "Bring me pen and ink." ”

The guy looked at the fifth master, and when he saw that the fifth master nodded, he turned around and took the pen and ink. Haitang clicked the ink and crossed out the IOU, "The fifth master really won't help me collect this debt?" Earlier, I said that I didn't want any silver, and I would give it to the fifth master. But now, I am short of this money again. If the fifth master doesn't want to go, then I'll find someone else, and the silver will be fifty-five cents. ”

The fifth master was curious about what she wrote on the IOU, so he leaned over to take a look, and was even more shocked by the drunkenness in his body.

"One hundred thousand taels? How dare you write! ”

Haitang put down the brush in his hand, "If the fifth master asks for this silver, and reads the friendship between us, I don't want the 100,000 principal, I only need the interest of a few thousand taels." Although there is no shortage of silver here in the fifth master, 100,000 taels of silver may just be just an all-night business, but who doesn't want this money for nothing. ”

100,000 taels! The fifth master really wants it, very much, but ......

"Although Meng Qingyue was kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is also a relative of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this 100,000 taels is also a big amount of silver.

"What is the fifth master talking about, if something really happens to your little gambling house, it was given a nest by the government a few years ago, and you can still be kept until now?" Haitang pushed the IOU directly in front of him, "Today, Huo Xing swept Meng Qingyue out of the house, that is, he has already indicated his identity." Besides, the last thing Huo Starling wants to see is Kong An, but Huo Starling doesn't care about anything about Kong An. This debt, the fifth master, you can rest assured that nothing will happen. ”

The fifth master retook the IOU, "You didn't just go to urge me to collect debts, right?" If there is anything else, Miss Huo will say it directly at one time. ”

Haitang looked sideways, "I want you to help me find out about the death of the Prime Minister's wife seventeen years ago." ”

The fifth master's face changed slightly, "Mrs. Prime Minister? Those shrewd eyes looked Begonia up and down, "Do you suspect that the death of the Prime Minister's wife is not so simple?" ”

She bluntly said: "It's really not that simple. It's been more than ten years, and it's hard for the fifth master to find the truth, and my request is indeed excessive. However, since the fifth master is going to the Meng family to ask for debts, it is better to start with the Meng family. Don't worry, the silver will not be missing you, and the 100,000 taels of silver you asked for is considered my sincerity. ”

The fifth master laughed, "This money hasn't been recovered yet, so you should talk to me about the conditions first." I knew that Miss Huo was not simple, but now it seems that you are more suitable than me to run this gambling house. ”

Haitang raised her eyebrows, "Do you really think I'm suitable for being a businessman?" ”

"No, I think that in a place like the gambling house, only banditry like you will not lose money."

Haitang was not angry, and went out to gamble twice, and then went back by moonlight.

The next day, the fifth master asked someone to set off early and go to Mengfu in Liangzhou to get the silver. The one who went out just walked away and turned back. Seeing that the person turned back again, the fifth master asked the reason.

"Fifth master, the brothers just arrived on the street when they heard that several shops opened by the Meng family in Liangzhou in the capital had gone wrong, not only could not do business, but also owed others a large amount of silver. Can we really get our 100,000 taels back? ”

The fifth master glared, "When is the news?" How many shops are yellow? ”

"It's all yellow." The man took out the IOU that was hot in his arms and handed it over, "I'm afraid this silver will be difficult to get." ”

The fifth master thought about it, when Haitang left last night, he didn't say anything about the Meng family's shop, could it be that this is what the minister Huo Xing meant?

"No, Liangzhou, you go on, the silver must be returned. Regardless of whether Meng Qingyue is in the Meng family in Liangzhou or not, you only recognize silver. It doesn't matter if you can't take out 100,000 taels, you can give 10 taels today and 5 taels tomorrow, but the interest will be calculated. If the people of the Meng family are not convinced, let them come to me. ”

There was another tension in the Prime Minister's Office. Hearing that the Meng family's business had been hit hard, Huo Hanyan was in a hurry, and most of his injuries, which had already healed, became inflamed again, and the pain made him unable to move. Jin Zisong went to the morning court today, and when he heard the news, he hurried back to the house. When he passed by Huo Hanyan's original courtyard, he saw two sneaky figures inside, and his heart sank, so he followed in.

"This ...... Okay? ”

"I guess so."

"What should be, let's do things for the master, only if it can't be done, where should it be."

"Isn't that what you asked?"

Jin Zisong's face became even more ugly, and he shouted angrily: "What are you doing!" ”

The two maids were startled, and when they turned around, they subconsciously hid the things in their hands behind them. Jin Zisong's eyes lit up, "What are you hiding, take it out!" ”

The two maids trembled with fright, and shouted timidly: "Uncle......"

Jin Zisong pinched the shelf and snorted coldly: "Do you still know that I am your uncle?" Do you think that Hanyan has become the second lady, and I am not the court official of the third grade? What is hidden, take it out! ”

"What did Lord Jin scare the two children for?"

Jin Zisong trembled all over, staring at the person who came slowly behind him like a ghost.

Since the day of Chengwang's Mansion, Jin Zisong has never seen her again. Before, she was the princess of Cheng, and she lived in the Chengwang Mansion, he was the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the capital said that it was not small, and he deliberately avoided it, so he never met it. Now that she has come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jin Zisong was frightened and didn't see her for two days to find trouble, so he was relieved for a while, but he didn't expect to bump into it now!

"What is my brother-in-law doing like he's seeing a ghost? After all, we are old acquaintances. ”

What an old acquaintance!

Jin Zisong's face changed and changed, and his steps took a few steps back. Haitang laughed softly, and deliberately took a few steps to his side, Jin Zisong's face suddenly changed in shock, and he actually sat on the ground like this.

Begonia burst out laughing, and his laughter made no secret of his mockery of him. The fear on Jin Zisong's face was clearly engraved, and the majestic appearance in the past was completely gone, only cowardice remained.

The two maids covered their mouths and snickered, which brought Jin Zisong's backbone back.

He got up in a panic and took two steps back with the movement of getting up. "What are you going to do? If you dare to do it to me, I'm welcome! ”

"Interesting." Although Begonia was still smiling, at this moment her eyes were cold in the cold winter wax moon. "Why are you going to be rude to me? Let's talk about it. ”

Jin Zisong had goosebumps all over his body, and her laughter made him feel cold, cold to the bone.

"I'm an official of the imperial court, if you dare to mess around, the prime minister will be implicated. Now the relationship between Yiguo and my Dongyuan has just eased, and I have a close relationship with the princess of Yiguo, if you dare to kill me, then the implication will be great! ”

Begonia snorted twice, "Look at what you said." She spread her hands, "Why do I want to kill you, a weak woman?" In addition, you have a close relationship with the princess of Yiguo, don't say it anymore, I don't know if you think you have a personal relationship with Xiahou Guan Jing, if it reaches Huo Hanyan's ears, what will it do? There is even a good exaggeration, saying that you are ...... with a country"

She looked directly at Jin Zisong, her dark eyes were cold and deep. "Brother-in-law, you have already suffered a loss, why don't you learn a long lesson."

The only time Jin Zisong was imprisoned was that he was framed by Haitang, the reason was that he was ...... with Yiguo

"You, you!"

Hearing only a sneer, Haitang, who was supposed to be separated from Jin Zisong by some distance, had already arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, in Jin Zisong's fear and the consternation of the two maids, she suppressed Jin Zisong's trembling hand pointing at herself, "Obviously you said it first, why are you blaming me now." Don't worry, now that we're a family, can I really hurt you? ”
