Interest?

The old lady's eyes were full of shock, "You actually charge interest from me?" ”

"Old lady, why do you look at me like this?"

"As the saying goes, my brother settles the account, and you just said that it is borrowing money from the palace."

"Shouldn't the palace charge interest on such a large amount of money lent out?"

"As for how much interest is charged, this palace will let Mama Liu go to the street tomorrow to inquire clearly, this palace does not earn the old lady, and the interest will definitely be lower than that on the street."

"Okay, Su Nianyun, you can really do it," the old lady got up angrily, "I came to the wrong place today!" ”

"What's the matter with you, old lady?"

Looking at the old lady who rushed out of the door angrily, Zhao's mother, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Let's go." The old lady had a cold face and walked away without looking back.

Looking at the increasingly powerful figure, Su Nianyun laughed out loud.

"Haha......"

On the way back to the house, the angry old lady saw Chen Shaokang, who had just returned home.

"It's so late, where have you been, and why did you come back?"

Listening to his mother's poor voice, Chen Shaokang is a spirit.

He also thought that his mother knew about his failure to go to his uncle and uncle's house in Hualou.

But the direction his mother came from was Tingfeng Yuan, and he immediately understood that his mother might have been suffocating at Su Nianyun's place.

Also, 300,000 taels is not a small amount, who will lend it easily.

He hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady, "Mother, didn't I follow your instructions to go to your uncle's house a few times?" ”

As soon as she heard this, the old lady remembered that she was afraid of being rejected by Su Nianyun, so she let her son out.

She said, "Look, my mother is confused by the one in Tingfeng Yuan, do you have any gains?" ”

Chen Shaokang shook his head and began to make things up, "Mother, since my father left, they are not satisfied with your continued leadership of the Chen clan. ”

"I went to the house of a few clan uncles, and I didn't dare to say anything, for fear that they would take the opportunity to take the power of your family again......"

Hearing the second son say this, the old lady already knew the result of his day's travel.

She said decadently, "Let's go back to the room first, and then talk about it in detail when we go back to the room......"

When he learned that Su Nianyun agreed to borrow money but asked for interest, Chen Shaokang had to endure it so that he could not laugh.

This princess really loves and hates clearly.

His poor eldest brother, who told him not to write a letter home early, but after Zhou Yao came to make trouble, he was too late to write anything.

At this time, the old lady said angrily, "In vain, I treat her like my own daughter on weekdays, how can she ......say anything about interest?"

Only when someone like the old lady says this, can she not feel sorry.

Chen Shaokang said in his heart, fortunately he didn't tell the princess that he was raising money for the eldest brother to redeem himself, I am afraid that if the princess knew the truth, she would directly let the kidnappers tear up the ticket.

"Mother, in fact, I have always had a suspicion......"

"Big brother has been buried for so long, could it be that someone is playing a prank on us, just trying to extort money?"

Today he was in the Qinglou and overheard some news.

Some news about what the kidnappers will do with the hostages if they don't receive the money.

He didn't think there was any problem at all that he could hear about this kind of thing in the Qinglou.

There are all kinds of people who come to the Qinglou, and it is inevitable that there are no kidnappers who dare to kidnap tickets for extortion, if they don't say it, who will know?

Accompanied by Mei Ji, he listened with relish to the guests at the table next to the screen talking about the kidnappers who couldn't receive the money, and would kill the people and throw them back to the hostage's door, or let the hostages dig a pit and bury themselves.

In short, the kidnappers will not let the hostages stay in their hands for too long, and if they can't redeem them, they will die!

Faced with the second son's questioning, the old lady said, "It can't be blackmail, the letter is really your eldest brother's handwriting, haven't you also read it?" ”

"In the world, there are thousands of people who can imitate handwriting, I think we still have to be cautious." Chen Shaoan said.

"How prudent? We don't know where the kidnappers are, and we can't see your big brother, how can we be cautious?! ”

That's gambling.

With this intuition, the old lady bet that her eldest son was still alive.

It's just that in the face of the kidnappers at this time, Chen Fuxian was a little powerless.

If it were normal, if the government went out, the kidnappers would definitely be able to be searched quickly, but on the contrary, the fact that An'er was still alive could not be known to the outside world.

Everything can only rely on the strength of their Chen Mansion, and it still has to be a particularly loyal and reliable force.

In this way, it is possible to ensure that not a single trace is leaked.

"Mother, didn't the letter say that we would be notified of the trading location tomorrow?"

Chen Shaokang said, "I'll take a few skilled nursing homes to guard in secret tomorrow night. ”

"After the man came to deliver the letter, we didn't arrest him, but secretly followed to investigate where the eldest brother was held by them......"

"When I see the eldest brother with my own eyes and confirm the truth of this matter, it will not be too late for us to pay the ransom, anyway, the kidnappers are for money, and if they don't see the money, they won't hurt the eldest brother."

"What you say makes sense," the old lady also agreed with Chen Shaokang's idea, "at least we must find out the facts first." ”

If An'er is really alive, she will smash the pot and sell iron to rescue him.

If the other party is just blackmailing through pranks, then the Chen family should not be the wronged leader.

So on the second night, Chen Shaokang really brought a few skilled nursing homes to ambush outside the old lady's room.

When a letter was seen from a black shadow flying towards the pillar, everyone immediately followed the galloping shadow.

The old lady who got the letter was anxiously waiting for Chen Shaokang and the nursing home to come back, and it was the middle of the night.

Until the sky was light, Chen Shaokang came back with the nurses.

"Mother, the nurses were lost on the way."

As soon as she heard this, the old lady's face was disappointed.

"But, fortunately, I really stumbled upon the kidnappers and finally found out where the kidnappers went."

"Did you find your big brother?"

"Mother, listen to me slowly......"

Chen Shaokang comforted the old lady, "There are more kidnappers, and they are cruel, we can't bother them rashly if we don't have the full certainty of saving the eldest brother......

"You know what you said about this mother," said the old lady, "if you take me even from a distance, I will think of knowing whether An'er is really alive or not." ”

So, Chen Shaokang took his mother to an alley in the southwest of Beijing, and after walking into a dilapidated courtyard, he pulled open a small wall tile on the wall and asked his mother to look next door.

I saw seven or eight men standing in the courtyard, and a relatively thin figure was sitting among them.

Seeing that the shadow was like Chen Shao'an, the old lady was excited.

But suddenly, the man opened his mouth and spoke, "It's time to collect the ransom in a while, you all give me a clever point, don't let people see the flaws." ”

"Boss, don't worry, we'll definitely do it."

At this moment, the man known as the boss stood up and turned his head slightly.

The old lady in front of her still thought that he was a little bit like an eight, but now listening to him and seeing his appearance again, she immediately sat on the ground.

Chen Shaokang hurriedly plugged the bricks, and then asked Mother Zhao to take the old lady away, and he was behind the palace.

After watching the old lady get into the carriage and leave first, Chen Shaokang walked into the courtyard full of kidnappers.

"You're all doing a good job......"

As he spoke, a heavy bag of money was thrown onto the stone table.
