Wei Shu

Chapter 118
"That's what you say, but that's not how the bill is calculated." Gilles covered his eyes with his handkerchief, and said with a sob:
"If you think about it carefully, this sum is what we deserve. If the real money is found, then the book will look good. But if the real treasure cannot be found, we can offset it twice. I lost several hundred taels.”

A few hundred taels of silver is enough to buy a lot of cattle and sheep.Thinking of it this way, Gilles felt as if someone had taken his heart out, trembling with pain, the veil could hardly be squeezed firmly, choked up and said:
"My life is really hard, my life is really hard, it's just that the child was born later than others, and now the daughter I raised so easily is gone, and I don't have such a big bet of money. I really... lost money on this business." Got home……"

She simply burst into tears, fortunately, the back of the handsome mansion is sparsely populated, and she is the only serious master, so she doesn't have to be on guard all the time like when she was in her own house.

He Zhuo knew his master's thoughts best, but when he heard her cry, he didn't persuade her much, because persuasion was useless.

After a while, Jiller's crying gradually subsided, and He Zhuo said in a low voice: "No matter how bad the master is, it can't be as bad as the major loss. The major general may be so worried right now To put it bluntly, every time he takes a step back, the master can take a step forward. After this calculation, isn't the master and the little master a net profit?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ji Le immediately stopped crying, and after a few breaths, he showed joy again, wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled and bent his eyes:
"Yes, you're right. Our major general is really at a loss, haha, sure enough, the more he loses, the more I earn. Right now, the major general is probably going to try to sell property to pay off debts. Tsk tsk, I don't know if I can pay it back."

Gilles did not say this casually.

She found out on the way here that Goode owed a lot of debt outside, and she wanted to make a big business to make a fortune and pay off the debt.Unexpectedly, this big deal was secretly intercepted by Gilles.

Now that the creditor is almost asking for it, what else can Goode do if it doesn't sell its property to raise money?Is it really going to make trouble in front of Mangtai?
The creditor was not an ordinary person, it was said that he was backed by the master in the palace, the Nadan family was still able to speak in Baishuang City, but in Changli, they were really the bottom of the nobles.

Gilles hated this most of the time, but at this moment she felt that Goode was overwhelmed like this, which made her extremely happy.

She has already made a plan, and when the deal is completed and the big bet is in hand, she will disclose the debt of Goode in the second step.

Over the years, the eldest son of the concubine used to pretend to be honest and a good person in front of Mangtai, and always made his wife angry. She will tear off that mask this time, and let Mangtai see what a good son he is. thing.

At that time, the young master from their main house will show up, and the title will naturally fall on the main room. Isn't this better than begging grandpa or grandma to ask for help?

However, these are all things for later, and now that the first step has not been completed, Gilles also stands still and only orders his eyeliners to inquire about the news.

The next day, when it was time to light the lamps, it was raining. Gu De hurriedly grabbed a few bites of food, and then returned to the yard where he lived in advance under the pretext of studying military books in the study, and then secretly ordered Ali to bring some Stacking the books, the two closed the door to settle the accounts.

Butter candles were lit in the study, the room was full of bright light, and the window paper was also reflected yellowish and white, and the thin and rapid raindrops tapped on the eaves, like flying sand and stones.

"Major General, are these properties really going to be sold?" Ali's voice was disturbed by the wind and rain, and it sounded broken:

"Major General, please take a closer look. This... This is the land that the commander personally rewarded. The wife and the two ladies will live by it from now on, Major General..."

"Then what do you say?" Goode said suddenly.

His voice was gloomy and harsh, and the tattoo of the wolf's head on his forehead looked extremely hideous under the candlelight: "Madam wants to live, so why should I not live?"

The wife they mentioned refers to Gu De's biological mother.

In the noble families of the Jin people, even if they are concubines, as long as they can give birth to a son, they can be called a wife.Of course, in front of the main wife, all concubines can only be called "Little Lady" or "Concubine Lady", which is also an unwritten rule.

However, now there are only his master and servant in this study, so there is no need to pay attention to these things.

Seeing that Gude's eyes were red with anxiety, as if he was about to eat people, Ali shrank his neck and dared not say any more.

Gude seemed to be in a very bad mood, flipping through the ledger vigorously, sometimes cursing in a low voice, and soon said in a rough voice: "This, this, and these shops, plus This Zhuangzi, if everything is added, it should be almost the same.”

Having said this, he stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something carefully, and finally said: "Forget it, you go outside and find someone to estimate how much it is worth, and report it to me when you come back. This time we have no way to find the accountant to help us, so we can only do it ourselves, and we have to be more cautious in everything."

Ali swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a "gudu", and the sound was so loud that it could be heard outside the window.

It seems that he should have been shocked by the properties pointed out by Goode, and he was trembling when he said: "Young... Major General, in this way, only the properties under your name will be left. The next one will be gone, so..."

He choked suddenly, as if he also knew that it was useless to say these words at this time. After a while, he said in a very unwilling tone:

"That person surnamed Ding is really not a thing! Damn! He clearly agreed to buy slaves from us, how can he say that he won't buy it if he doesn't buy it? Is there any reason for this? Major General, we can't just Forget it, no matter what, we must find this person and kill him."

"You think I don't want to?" Goode's tone was not so harsh at this time, as if he was a little discouraged, he sighed and said:

"If I use the name of the major general to search for him, I can find him in less than half an hour. It would be easy to slaughter his five clans. But in this way, the father commander will no longer be able to hide it. At that time, I will only be worse than now."

Ali still seemed unwilling, and said in a stern voice: "Then the young general can also find someone else..."

Before he finished speaking, Goode cut him off and said: "If I just want to vent my anger, I can naturally go to find..."

He skipped a name that he didn't want to mention, and then said: "...But I don't want to do this, the debt of favor is the hardest to repay, and in my current situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in the end .Anyway, let's settle that debt first. That's the first thing that matters."
