Chapter 243: The Heart Is Dripping Blood
In order to maintain his image, Guo Shi insisted on pulling a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "If you have anything to say, let's go into the house and talk about it." ”
As long as these people enter the house, it is not up to her to decide how to deal with things.
She can completely say that the matter of not printing money is just a rumor from someone with a heart, and it is a misunderstanding.
She had the IOUs signed by those people in her hand, and she didn't dare to have any opinions.
Even if these people who borrowed the money from the seal want to make trouble, as long as she subtracts a little bit of the profit, they should be satisfied.
Guo's plan, Ling Chu had guessed it early on.
She didn't speak, just glanced at Zhou Banqin, who was mixed in the crowd.
Zhou Banqin's mother immediately said in a loud voice, "Madame is kind-hearted, we can't know what is going on, so we won't go into the house to disturb." We waited here, and Madame asked us to return the money we had received. The family is still waiting for the money to buy rice for the pot. ”
"Yes, yes, we won't go in, I'm still waiting to get the money and take my dad to the doctor."
……
Listening to the words asking for money, Guo was furious, but he couldn't vent it.
Outside the crowd, Cao Hongxin, the commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, was staring at him with his men on the pretext of preventing someone from making trouble.
Guo didn't dare to get angry, so he could only laugh and persuade for a long time, but no one listened to her enter the Zhao State Mansion.
Seeing that she had not let people give money, Cao Hongdeng in the crowd shouted, "The Duchess said that in order to help everyone, the money that was lent out before is gone, and the money that has been collected will be returned to everyone."
Why have we waited for half a day, and you haven't asked people to take out the money? Isn't it...... You regretted it and didn't want to give us the money back? ”
As soon as Cao Hongdeng's words fell, many people followed and asked.
Guo's stomach was blocked in his throat, but in front of so many people, he couldn't vent.
At this time, Cao Hongxin looked at her in surprise, "Zhao Guogong's Mansion privately released Yinzi money?" ”
Guo's face changed, and it was illegal to put money in the seal privately. If it spreads, the whole house will be implicated by her.
Although it was the grandmother next to her who put the money in the seal, no one would believe that a grandmother had the courage and ability to do such a thing, and a discerning person would know at a glance that she was the instigator behind the scenes.
Husband and wife are one, she is the duchess of the country, in the eyes of the emperor and those courtiers, she puts the money in the seal, which is equivalent to what Zhao Guogong does.
She couldn't let the emperor take away the title of the Duke of Zhao's mansion.
After weighing it clearly, Guo squeezed a smile that was more ugly than crying and said, "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding, our Guogong Mansion did not release the money privately."
Zhao Guogong's Mansion is just not good for the year, and some families can't even do food and clothing. The sick people couldn't even take out the money for the medicine, so in order to help everyone, our Zhao Guogong Mansion cut down on food and clothing and lent everyone the money we saved. ”
Guo wanted to cover up the truth, but Ling Chu wouldn't let her get her wish, "In this way, your Zhao State Mansion is doing good deeds and accumulating virtues." But why do you still receive such a high amount of interest when you borrow money? Could it be that you are actually making a lot of money in the name of doing good? ”
Guo couldn't wait to tear her hand.
"It's all a misunderstanding, it's because my grandmother next to me is old and confused, and she hasn't done things well."
"So, the money lent out by the Guogong Mansion still has to be recovered? But how did I hear that your government understands everyone's difficulties, and has decided to do good things to the end, and don't want all the money you lent. And the money collected before will also be returned to everyone.
Could it be that in fact, you just put the money in India privately at the beginning, and now that the matter is exposed, you are afraid of being held accountable by the emperor, so you lie that you borrowed money to help everyone tide over the current difficulties? ”
"Shouldn't it be that after everyone leaves, your Guogong Mansion will say that it is a misunderstanding, and the money lent out will be accepted correctly, and the high interest money will not be missing, right?"
As soon as Ling Chu's words fell, everyone rushed forward one after another, wanting to ask Guo for an explanation.
Mrs. Zhao Guo's Mansion was hiding in the door, angry and helpless.
The crowd was too angry, if this matter could not be properly handled, something would definitely happen to Zhao Guofu.
For the sake of her son, Mrs. Tai had to stand up, "Everyone be quiet and listen to my wife and son." Our Zhao Guogong Mansion did not release the money privately, this is all a misunderstanding.
My Zhao family has ancestral teachings, and future generations should do more good deeds and accumulate more virtues. The money given by the Zhao family will not be returned, so everyone can rest assured. ”
He turned his head again and ordered, "Steward Zhao, take out all the money in the house, and return all the money that Mama Zhao collected before." ”
As soon as Mrs. Tai's words came out, all those who borrowed the money from the seal were overjoyed.
Mrs. Tai took the opportunity to say, "Originally, we wanted to help everyone, but I didn't expect the grandmother in the house to be confused and do the wrong thing." I also hope that everyone will give my wife a face, don't blame her.
Don't worry, I will let the steward check with you and burn it in person. You don't have to worry about our Zhao Guogong Mansion asking you to pay back the money afterwards......"
With Mrs. Tai's promise, everyone finally put their hearts at ease and smiled.
Guo Shi looked at the burned IOUs and the money returned, and his heart was dripping blood.
It's all her money!
Guo Shi stared at Ling Chu with eyes like knives, it must have been this slut's ghost.
When those people leave, see how she cleans her up.
Sensing Guo's eyes, Ling Chu glanced at it casually and withdrew his gaze, but suddenly turned his head and stared at her Yin Tang.
She remembered that when she first entered Zhao's house, Guo's face was full of redness.
Not to mention that this Yin Hall is black, the black gas is still bloody.
This physiognomy... But it's a prison sentence.
Just when Ling Chu was curious about Guo's face change, a man wearing a short beat suddenly rushed out of the crowd.
scolded at the Duchess of Zhao Guo, "What kind of family and good deeds, all of them are deceitful." You're just putting money in private!
My third brother borrowed fifty taels from you, and you deceived him into being illiterate and tricked him into signing an IOU for printing money. Only later did I know that I owed you more than a thousand taels. ”
"My third brother came to you to theorize, but when you enter the door of your Zhao Guogong Mansion, you will never see anyone again. It must have been because you were afraid that my third brother would expose your money, so you killed him. ”
"Nonsense, our Zhao Guogong Mansion doesn't know your third brother, and we haven't killed anyone. Could it be that you saw that we had waived the money that everyone borrowed, and you became greedy and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail a sum of money? ”
Guo's face was pale, she didn't expect that the man who let the little guy kill last time would come to his door after half a year.
and also exposed it in public.
"Bah, I'm not the kind of person you who is kind on the surface, but in fact my heart and liver are completely black.
You said that you didn't harm my third brother, so do you dare to let us enter your Zhao Guogong Mansion to search? ”
