In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

As soon as the man finished speaking, many people started talking among themselves.

Those who had borrowed money actually knew that Zhao Guogong's government was originally issuing usury money privately. However, when things got serious and they were afraid of being punished by the emperor, they changed their words and used their own money to help people in need.

Although everyone praised Duke Zhao's government for being kind, they didn't really feel that they were kind in their hearts.

The reason why they praise so much is just to avoid borrowing usury money.

The man said that his third brother didn't know that the loan he borrowed from Zhao Guofu was usury, but he found out later and went to Zhao Guofu to argue.

It is inevitable that everyone would like to discuss this matter.

Mrs. Tai and Mr. Guo were filled with anger when they saw that their reputation, which they had sacrificed so much money to restore, was about to be ruined by that man.

It just can't happen yet.

In order to prove her innocence, Ms. Guo had no choice but to nod, "You don't believe me when I say I have never harmed your third brother. If I don't let you enter the house to look for me, you might think we have a guilty conscience.

I can agree to let you go into the house to look for her, but if you don't find her, you must follow me to see the official.Although our Zhao Guofu is benevolent, we cannot let others frame us at will.Do you agree? "

The man patted his chest and said, "Okay, if my third brother is not found, I will let your Duke Zhao's family handle it."

Mrs. Guo nodded, "Steward Zhao, take him in and let him take a good look to see if his third brother is in our house."

Guo sneered in her heart, she couldn't do anything to this person in front of outsiders.

But it would be easy once she entered the mansion. Although she couldn't kill him, it was easy for Zhao Guofu to take advantage of a pariah.

Butler Zhao stepped forward quickly, trying to pull the man in.

However, the man said, "Your Zhao Guogong Mansion eats people without spitting out their bones. I have to bring people in, otherwise I'm afraid I will be like my third brother. Once I enter your Zhao Guo Mansion, I will never get out again."

Guo's face was gloomy. She didn't expect that the man would bring people in.

If there were outsiders around, she wouldn't be able to control him.

But if she doesn't agree to him bringing people in, the untouchable will definitely say that she has a guilty conscience.

Guo was still hesitating, and many people were pointing fingers and talking.

The madam glared at her secretly, and had no choice but to stand up and say to the man, "You can bring people in to look for her, but we have women in Duke Zhao's mansion, so we can't let everyone in.

Well, you pick five people to come in with you.But after entering the house, you are not allowed to wander around at will, so as not to bump into the female family members. I will ask the housekeeper to take you to search, do you agree? "

People present thought that the man would think that bringing five people was too few, but unexpectedly he immediately nodded in agreement.

After selecting two men and two women, the man suddenly walked up to Ling Chu and knelt down.

He directly took out a banknote and handed it over, "Ling Xiangu, I know that your fortune-telling is effective. I am willing to pay you 30 taels. Please use your fortune-telling skills to help me find my third brother."

Ling Chu glanced at the man in surprise. She didn't expect that the man would ask her for help.

【Ding! 】

[Request task detected, please host complete it. 】

Asking for business that came to her door, the system issued another task, so naturally she would not refuse.

Mrs. Guo had vaguely heard some rumors about Ling Chu and knew that she sometimes set up a stall in Yu Street to tell fortunes.

Although she didn't think she had any real abilities, she actually agreed to help the man when they met, and said with a sullen face, "You are from our Zhao Guofu, how can you turn your elbows outward..."

Ling Chu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and interrupted with a sneer, "Madame Guogong is wrong, I am not from your Zhao Guofu. Today, like everyone else, I took an IOU to recover what was previously collected by your Zhao Guofu." money."

After glancing at Mr. Guo, Ling Chu deliberately shook the IOU in his hand.

Other people's IOUs were burned, but the one in Ling Chu's hand was still there.

The madam didn't want to cause more trouble, and she didn't believe that Ling Chu was capable of anything. Although she was dissatisfied, she still let her into the house.Manager Zhao led someone into the house, and Mrs. Guo secretly winked at him, indicating that he would lead someone to search in the front yard.

But the man ignored it and directly asked Ling Chu to tell his fortune.

Since he agreed to the man, Ling Chu took out the copper coins and performed the hexagram on the turtle shell.

Guo stared at her with a dark face, but because several other people were also present, she could only hold back her anger.

Ling Chu secretly opened the system.

There was nothing unusual about the front yard.

After entering the courtyard for the second and third times, I found nothing.

But Lingchu discovered from the system that there was Yin Qi in a remote corner.

"Ling Xiangu, have you found anything?" Seeing that she quickly put away the copper coins and turtle shells, the man couldn't wait to ask.

Ling Chu nodded.

The man felt happy. When the man pointed him to Ling Xiangu, he didn't believe it at first.However, he later inquired with someone and found out that her fortune-telling was quite effective.

The man was happy for a while, but felt uneasy in his heart, "Miss Ling, my third brother... is he still alive?"

Ling Chu glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and have a look with me."

When the man saw that there was no smile on her face, his heart sank.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel sad.

Ling Chu led the people and followed the system's guidance.

Guo glanced at their backs and snorted in her heart.

Zhao Guofu is so big that it is impossible to find it. That bitch is just playing tricks.

Worried about their intrusion, Mrs. Guo asked the steward Zhao to follow him with a dozen big and round boys.

The Duke of Zhao's palace was really big, and the Guo family didn't like them, so it was impossible to prepare sedan chairs and chariots for them.

Ling Chu could only walk on his legs.

Following the system's guidance, I walked for nearly half an hour before stopping in a remote courtyard.

Mrs. Guo didn't take it seriously at first, and just asked the steward and others to watch them. Thinking about it, she still felt uneasy, so she hurried over in a sedan chair.

Seeing Ling Chu stopping in front of the courtyard, Guo's heart tightened.

Subconsciously, I opened my mouth to curse.

The madam who was also worried and followed her gave her a dissatisfied look and said to Ling Chu first, "Miss Ling, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Ling Chu's lips curled up, and he took the lead to walk a certain distance before stopping and looking at the Madam quietly.

The Dowager's face was grave, and she looked at Ling Chu with eyes like sharp knives, "Miss Ling, these things today have nothing to do with you, so why do you have to get involved?"

Ling Chu said softly, "Madam, I came today just to get back my concubinage documents."

Mrs. Guo was furious, "It's not up to you. Your mother accepted the betrothal gift from our Duke Zhao's mansion and personally promised us to take you as our concubine."

Ling Chu was not annoyed, but instead took out the IOU for the usury money, "The censor should be very interested in this thing. If the things in the dry well are dug out, Dali Temple will not have to worry about running out of work..."

Guo's eyes were spitting fire, "How dare you threaten us..."

The madam frowned. Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law could not see the formality clearly at this moment, so she interrupted her directly, "Ms. Guo, give the concubinage document to Miss Ling..."
