The Duke's Daughter is Reborn
Chapter 187 Incident (5)
The people from the underground money lender came to collect the debt, and the news spread throughout the Duke's Mansion immediately.
Lao Mo and his group swaggered in through the mansion gate. Even if An wanted to hide the truth, she couldn't.
As the Duke, Song Hongwen was working in the government office at that moment, so the old lady immediately sent someone to report the matter to the Duke.
Putting the teacup in her hand fiercely on the table, the old lady was full of anger: "The reputation that the Duke's Mansion has accumulated over the years will be ruined by the An family."
Not only did she not take An Xiaoqiu away, but now here came An Xiaoyi. When the old lady thought of those people in the An family, she felt sick from the bottom of her heart.
Yang Lan sat beside the old lady and patted her on the back: "Grandma, the An family is just a relative of ours. They came to the mansion to collect debts, but that scoundrel has been living in the mansion for some time."
Every step that An Xiaoyi took into the trap was planned by Yang Lan. Naturally, Yang Lan also thought about the losses that the Duke of Song's Mansion suffered after An Xiaoyi's affair was exposed.
Ever since An Xiaoyi wanted to make An his legal wife, the old lady was extremely opposed to it. However, she could not persuade her son, who was so blinded by his loyalty and was far away in the northwest, that she acted first and asked for permission later.
Later, An only gave birth to a maid for the Duke's Mansion. Sister Jing was not outstanding in appearance or talent, and was raised by An to be petty, vulgar and rude.
The old lady got a headache just by looking at this. Now, the people of the An family followed An Shi and climbed into the Duke of Song’s Mansion one by one. They are going to hollow out the Duke’s Mansion!
An Xiaoyi knew that everyone in the Duke's Mansion was looking for him, but now only his uncle, the Duke Song Hongwen, could save him.
The underground money houses are full of people who don't care about their lives, but as long as they want to continue doing their business in the capital, they will definitely not offend the officials.
If my uncle is willing to stand up for me, then the problem of the underground money house will be easily solved.
An Xiaoyi's servant had been following him today. He was frightened by Mr. Mo's people and has not recovered yet: "Young Master, the Duke must be in the yamen now on duty. We can't go to public places to disturb the Duke." The main reason is that what the young master did was too embarrassing. He was afraid that the Duke would not want to stay in the yamen and be laughed at by his colleagues.
An Xiaoyi clenched his hands, gritted his teeth and said, "How can we care about these things now? Let's go to the government office!"
The news about Old Madam Song had already reached the yamen.
Therefore, when Song Hongwen heard someone looking for him outside the government office, he immediately realized that it was An's nephew, An Xiaoyi. His face darkened immediately. He had done such a shameful thing, but he still had the nerve to come to the government office to look for him.
Song Hongwen coughed and said to his personal servant, "Take An Xiaoyi to the teahouse opposite and tell him that I will be there soon. Remember, you must book a private room."
Song Hongwen really didn't want to deal with these private matters outside the yamen, but according to An Xiaoyi's ruffian personality, if he didn't meet him, who knows how much trouble he would cause outside the yamen.
The best solution for now is to stabilize this big pit that could explode at any time.
An Xiaoyi knew that his uncle was willing to see him, so there was no other way. As long as he could see his uncle, this matter would have a chance.
When Song Hongwen arrived at the teahouse, An Xiaoyi immediately knelt on the ground and begged in tears: "Uncle, you must save my nephew's life!"
Song Hongwen's eyes flashed with disgust: "Tell us everything in detail."
An Xiaoyi finished the story quickly and very simply. In short, Hong Hu, the eldest son and successor of the imperial merchant Hong family, had recently found a good way. The two of them started a business together. In order to make more profits, An Xiaoyi borrowed 50,000 taels of silver from an underground bank and gave all the money to Hong Hu.
But when the time came to pay back the money, Hong Hu disappeared and could not be found at all.
As for the jade matter, An Xiaoyi put it aside for the time being. The underground bank was the key to the matter. If he told everything at once, he would probably be considered a bastard who had accomplished nothing in his uncle's mind.
I have to say that An Xiaoyi is really obsessed with sex. Even at this critical moment, he is still thinking about Yang Lan.
Song Hongwen has been in the officialdom for many years and knows the background of the An family: "What kind of business did Hong Hu tell you?" Although An Xiaoyi is dull, he has been learning from the head of the An family since he was a child. If it were not for great benefits, I am afraid that An Xiaoyi would not have borrowed so much money regardless of the consequences.
An Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say: "Uncle, this matter..."
"Let me think about it..."
\"This Hong Hu...\"
Song Hongwen didn't have so much time to listen to An Xiaoyi's ambiguity and hesitancy: "If you want to talk, I'll leave now. If you don't want to talk, I'll leave now."
Seeing Song Hongwen turning around and leaving, An Xiaoyi immediately became anxious: "It's the salt permit business. Hong Hu said that after getting the salt permit, we will split the profits according to the proportion of our respective investments."
Listening to An Xiaoyi's words, Song Hongwen's face became colder and colder. He was really an ungrateful person who could never be tamed.
An Xiaoyi was raised in the An family with a lot of wealth, but he never thought he was so stupid.
The salt permit business has always been controlled by the housekeeper, and now it is also in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If the Hong family can solve the salt permit issue, they will immediately become the richest people in the capital. How could they be willing to give such a big share to An Xiaoyi at this time of harvest?
It is obvious here that An Xiaoyi is too arrogant in his daily life, and he must have offended people without knowing it. This is the revenge of the person behind the scenes.
The salt business is the most violent of all. Over the years, many people have tried to make money from it, but all have failed. An Xiaoyi is really greedy and thinks that he can make a living in the business circle of Beijing with his capital.
Song Hongwen sneered a few times: "Since you borrowed money from the underground bank at the beginning, haven't you thought about how to repay it in the future?" Could it be that from that time on, An Xiaoyi had already made plans to let the entire Songguo Mansion take the blame for him? Thinking of this, Song Hongwen was full of calculations.
Song Hongwen's smile scared An Xiaoyi: "Uncle, good uncle, listen to me, I have been to the underground money house today. There are people who can't pay back the money and have been beaten to death. There, I can always hear people crying for help. It's so scary! Uncle, if I can't pay back the money, those people will beat me to death. Uncle, you are my only relative in this capital."
An Xiaoyi's words were full of emotion, and he even shed a lot of tears when he finished speaking.
