The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

372 Threat
Gu Chengyu thought about it for a long time in the house, and felt that this matter could be big or small, but fortunately Gu Chengyi and the others had already separated.

"What are you doing? Why do you ask me to press my fingerprints? I won't press it."

Gu Chengyi was very angry when Mingmo and the others confiscated the money.At this moment, they didn't know what was written on that piece of paper, so they asked him to press his fingerprints, but of course he refused.

Ming Mo and Ming Yan held Gu Chengyi down, pressed their fingerprints on the IOU, and then gave the IOU and the bank note to the Yang family, and stated that the other money would be paid off by the end of the year.

Patriarch Yang naturally refused, they want money right now, at the end of the year, can they wait?
Gu Chengyu stood by the window and watched. After Ming Mo pulled out the sword and said that the sword had not drank blood for several days, Patriarch Yang and the others kept silent.

Gu Chengyu entered the yard and stopped the few people who were about to leave, "Patriarch Yang! My followers have told you just now, what should be said and what should not be said, I think you have already figured it out. Otherwise, Dayang Lu Yang from the village is your fate."

Patriarch Yang is no stranger to Lu Yang, isn't this the eldest brother of the Lu family?I heard that they also came to Gu's house to make a fuss back then, but for some reason, they stopped coming.Even during the holidays, they never come to the door.

I heard that he became dumb overnight and broke a leg. Could it be that this little kid in front of him did it?
Patriarch Yang quickly glanced at Gu Chengyu, but saw that the other party's pupils were deep and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.He shuddered, even the people who are capable of attacking his uncle's family, would they be merciful if they want to deal with villagers like them?

"Naturally, naturally! Please don't worry, Mr. Juren, the five of us here will never reveal a single word." Patriarch Yang cupped his hands repeatedly, showing great sincerity.

Among the four people who were traveling together, some people were still a little puzzled, but they just glanced at Patriarch Yang in trepidation, and then swallowed the words that came to their lips.

"It's best if you can restrain them, otherwise, I don't mind helping. Just me, if I make a move, at least a leg or an arm will be broken, otherwise I feel unhappy."

Patriarch Yang was horrified when he heard this. He looked at Gu Chengyu who was still smiling, and felt that his face was very hateful.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the members of the Yang family with a half-smile, and saw that the head of the Yang family was terrified, and the others were also shocked, so he asked Ming Mo to open the door and let them out.

"My lord! I found the bank note in the second room and the scattered silver. The total is 540 six taels. For the money that is still short, I wrote an IOU and asked the second master to press his fingerprint."

Gu Chengyu waved his hand, who is listening patiently now.

Glancing at He Shi who was tied up, and Gu Chengyi who was still a little sick but glaring at him angrily, he said to Uncle Gu, "Uncle, bring everyone in!"

Uncle Gu and the remaining two clansmen recovered from Gu Chengyu's fierce expression just now.Several people looked at each other, sure enough, those who can be admitted to Juren, how could it be ordinary people?

Uncle Gu hurriedly greeted the two clansmen, and with the help of Ming Mo and the others, he dragged the bound He family and the others to the study in the outer courtyard.

Father Gu looked at Gu Chengyu and sighed. The second child's family was full of moths, and he was afraid that the little brotherhood left by the fifth child would be wiped out.

In fact, Father Gu didn't know that there was any relationship between the two of them.If it wasn't for Gu's father, and wanted to make up for his mother, Gu Chengyu would have taught him a lesson for such a slow-moving pig teammate.

"From the second family, tell me, who did you lend the money to?" After all these things happened in the morning, Father Gu's spirit was a little bit weak, and he was deeply attached to the second room at this time. have no choice.

"Father! I hid my money in several places at home, and this thieves mother-in-law was able to find it out. It's really hard to guard against a thief! Now that the money at home is empty, and I owe so many foreign debts, it's all because of her." .”

Thinking of the money that was taken away, Gu Chengyi felt that he was really digging his flesh, and his face suddenly turned pale again.

Gu Chengyu signaled Mingmo to tear the cloth from He's mouth, and as soon as He let go, he yelled, "I used the money to lend money, don't you know that too? Why are you still relying on me at this time?"

"Did I tell you to take so much silver? You took more than 2000 taels of silver! You stupid woman."

"Why are you arguing? Second child, explain the matter clearly, and say it exactly." Seeing that the two were arguing again, Mr. Gu hurriedly stopped him.

Gu Chengyi also regretted that he had lent loan sharks for more than two years.At the beginning, Mrs. He always went to her mother's house, but the more he went, he could see the clues.

It turned out that the eldest brother of the He family met some cronies, and one of them was a subordinate of Qianzhuang.

It sounds good to say that it is a bank, but in fact, some people are doing such activities behind their backs.Gu Chengyi is in charge of the second room's money, and He doesn't have much money in his hands. He just separated the family, so of course he has a lot more money than before.

Her elder brother told Mr. He about the benefits after listening to others bragging a few words, and Mrs. He was very moved by what he said.

He also wanted to lend loan sharks, but she had no money, so she pinned her idea on Erlang.Erlang wants to study, Gu Chengyi will never miss his expenses.Ji Erlang is also very shrewd, but He couldn't fool around, so he told him about it.

So she asked Erlang for 20 taels, and Mrs. He added her own ten taels of silver and asked her elder brother to release it.

After waiting for a month, there were as many as [-] Wen in Li Yin, and He felt that this was simply a lucrative business.She tasted the sweetness, and her heart became more and more excited.

She told Gu Chengyi about this, and Gu Chengyi also wanted to try it, so he agreed to lend 100 taels of silver to try first.

Sure enough, they received two taels a month later, and the two were very excited.Afterwards, he borrowed it out a few times, but Gu Chengyi is more clear-headed after all, although it is easy to get money with loan sharks, the risk is not small.

They don't have any connections, so if they borrowed it out and couldn't get it back, what would they do?Besides, such a thing is disgraceful after all, and Erlang still needs to be tested for fame. If it delays Erlang's future, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?

Gu Chengyi felt that this was too much to do last year. Before that, it was all small things, and the biggest one was only 300 taels.Although this money comes quickly, it is not a long-term solution after all.

Especially when He's eldest brother insisted on asking them to invest more, and the reasonable interest could be doubled, Gu Chengyi also gritted his teeth and refused.

Who would have thought that Mrs. He would steal all the money from the family and give it all to her second brother?
Gu Chengyu was a little speechless. Thousands of taels of silver bills were kept at home, and he didn't do any big business, and he didn't need them on weekdays.

Moreover, even Erlang knew about his mother's usury?Isn't he afraid that being known will affect his future?
"How long has the money been borrowed? Maybe it will be taken out earlier?" Father Gu didn't expect the second child's family to be so bold. He dared to lend 2000 taels of silver. If he couldn't get it back, wouldn't he cry to death? ?
