Nongmen lady Jiang Huhan

170 The outside of gold and jade is ruined and inside
Tong Shanshan's face froze, and some cowardice slowly appeared on her green and white face. She looked at Bai Mingze and said: "Cousin, you only care about that bitch Bagpipe. I have been with you for so many years, and I have given you children." , are you treating me like this?
Even if she dies, you have to blame me. It’s because she was so unlucky. She needs evidence to support her words. Why do you accuse me like this? "

Bai Mingze looked at Tong Shanshan's calm and angry face, and he also had some speculations in his heart. Maybe he had really misunderstood her. After all, a boudoir woman didn't have the ability to know those people to do such harm to others.

However, at this moment, a burst of noise resounded in the courtyard.

"You, who are you? You can't go in, you can't go in."

Just as Bai Mingze was about to continue interrogating Tong Shanshan, he was very unhappy when he heard noisy sounds in the courtyard.

Then came the maids running for cover and screaming in panic, which made him almost mad to death.

"Ahem, how dare you come to the Bai family to cause trouble!" Bai Mingze looked at the door angrily.

"You guys, get out, get out, you break into people's houses, I, I'm reporting it to the police!"

The chief steward, with a group of servants, tremblingly stopped a large group of fierce-looking people.

One of them, a big man with a velvet beard, had a fleshy face and a very terrifying scar.

His clothes were not neatly dressed, his black chest hair was exposed, and his arms were full of muscles. He didn't look like a good person.

He looked at the housekeeper who stopped him with a smile and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm not looking for you. Bai Mingze owes our boss 3000 taels of silver and it's early time to pay back the money. Why, the dignified Bai Mansion wants to You have to default on your debt!"

"Presumptuous, who are you? When did I owe you money?" Bai Mingze listened to the noise in the yard, then got out of bed and walked to the door. He was shocked when he saw the situation in the yard.

The man with a sinister face looked at Tong Shanshan and smiled maliciously. Tong Shanshan trembled in fright and quickly lowered her head. Only then did the man look at Bai Mingze again.

When Bai Mingze saw the interaction between the two, his heart skipped a beat, and then he looked at Tong Shanshan warningly.

Tong Shanshan took a careful peek at Bai Mingze and was very anxious. She was thinking that she was just a few days late to pay back the money, so why did she come to her door?

Bai Mingze looked at Tong Shanshan's obviously guilty and evasive eyes, and thought about how she had used coercion and inducement to withdraw money from the house, and he felt inexplicably nervous.

He guessed that these people might have something to do with her, and sure enough, the big man with a sinister face said: "Uncle Bai, who is this person next to you? You always know him, right?"

Tong Shanshan was frightened when she was called out, but she didn't dare to speak because she had never encountered such a thing before, so she didn't know how to deal with it.

Bai Mingze was very angry, but his Bai family was now well-known, so he could only suppress his anger first, and then said: "This is the aunt in the house, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Half a month ago, this Aunt Tong borrowed 3000 taels of silver from our Master Biao with Uncle Bai's seal. This is an IOU.

It was originally agreed to repay within ten days, but for the sake of Uncle Bai, Uncle Biao did not charge her much more interest.

But the young aunt took the money and never showed up. Now more than half a month has passed, and one tael has not been repaid. According to the agreement in the contract, in addition to the original half interest, an extra 1 tael will be added every day, and one more tael will be added every day. Doubling it, if tonight is the 6th, Ligali will have a total of 4626 taels.

After all, Uncle Bai is a respectable person in Wucheng, so I gave Uncle Bai a small change and paid back 4600 taels of silver today.

If it is one day later, the half interest on the principal will be full interest. Tomorrow it will be 6000 taels, and the single-day interest will naturally be indispensable the day after tomorrow.

So Uncle Bai, do you think you will return the 4600 taels of silver today, or will we collect the 6000 taels tomorrow? ! ""What?You, me, my seal borrowed the money? ! "Bai Mingze was dumbfounded.

Tong Shanshan became anxious and shouted at the man: "Why is there so much interest? I borrowed a total of 3 taels. The interest is only 6 taels per day. Even if it is doubled, it will not reach more than 4600 taels. You, you, You are simply stealing money!”

"Tong Shanshan, it's really you who borrowed the money!"

Bai Mingze looked at Tong Shanshan with cannibalistic eyes. This damn woman dared to borrow usury. That was a usury loan, and the interest was half and half!
Tong Shanshan was so frightened by Bai Mingze's sudden roar that she shrank her neck. She hesitated and didn't know how to explain.

"Actually, the money lent was signed by the young aunt herself, but the joint guarantee is stamped with your seal. Take a look at this IOU. We won't wrong anyone, especially you, a respectable person." The big man handed over the IOU. He leaned in front of Bai Mingze's eyes.

Bai Mingze looked at his personal seal and his pupils immediately shrank.

He is a businessman who often signs contracts, so he naturally has a personal seal. To avoid forgery or theft, he keeps a record at the Yamen. If it is really lost, he can quickly go to the Yamen to re-register it to prevent someone from using it without authorization in the future. loss.

But his seal has always been kept in the study room at home. He was afraid of losing it. Except for large contracts, he rarely used it, and he kept records of where it was used.

At this time, she saw her seal stamped on the IOU, and the person collecting the debt clearly pointed to Tong Shanshan, and her just counterattack also proved that the money was borrowed.

Bai Mingze was so angry that his blood surged, but he had to protect his identity and face in front of outsiders, so he swallowed the sweetness that hit his throat.

The big man looked at Bai Mingze's pale face, and then asked deliberately and strangely: "Uncle Bai, it's only 4600 taels of silver. Your Baifu family has a great cause, so it won't be without it, right?"

The housekeeper on the side was so frightened that he was sweating. He thought that this young aunt was too courageous. The amount of money she had withdrawn from him through coercion and inducement was not a small amount, but now she dared to borrow high-interest loans privately behind the master's back.

There is no cash in the house. All the money was spent on that batch of goods this time. Now, except for a few shops and a few small shops, there is no valuable property left, let alone cash.

Seeing that Bai Mingze was so angry that he couldn't speak, he quickly stepped forward to apologize and said with a smile: "Uncle, of course our Baifu will not default on its debts. It's just that our uncle recently had a big deal and the money turnover is difficult. It's really I don’t have much cash available in my house, please see if you can be accommodating.”

"Accommodating? Hahaha." The big man with a sinister face turned around and laughed at the younger brother behind him.

Someone immediately echoed: "It's funny to be accommodating. The Bai family has some respect in Wucheng. The rules of our Master Biao, not to mention your Bai family, can't be accommodating even if the county magistrate borrows money and doesn't pay it back."

Accommodation, that is, come back tomorrow. If this is not better, tomorrow will not be the money! "

"Hahaha, yes."

"Hey, the Bai family isn't that good either. It looks very majestic and intimidating, but it turns out it's just empty airs."

"Oh, I understand too. How did you say that?"

"Gold and jade are on the outside, but ruins are on the inside."

"If you don't have money, you'll use your house or shop to pay off your debts."

"That's right, no, let's take a look at the aunts in your house and see if there's any that we like and can be worth a few taels of silver."
