Meng House.

"What did you say?" When Mrs. Meng heard that her brother had fled with a huge amount of money, she jumped up from her chair and shouted in a sharp voice: "Who ran away?"

"Your eldest brother, your eldest brother took the brothel girls from Zuixianglou and took away all the money, everything." The woman who spoke was Mrs. Meng's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhu.

After hearing what Zhu said, Mrs. Meng staggered a few steps, raised her hand to stroke her dizzy head, and her face turned pale for an instant.

The maid next to her quickly supported Mrs. Meng and said, "Madam, you are in a hurry."

Mrs. Meng came to her senses, pushed the maid away, reached out and grabbed Zhu's clothes and said, "Money, that's the money of Mrs. Ge, Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Lan."

It's the usury money they put in the bank.

Mrs. Meng's eldest brother Duan Jianzhuo is the boss of the largest bank in Yanjing.

Two years ago, Duan Jianzhuo brought up the issue of loan sharking, saying that money can make money and maximize the benefits of a piece of silver.

She initially invested a small amount with the mentality of giving it a try, but later found that the money she invested could earn half of the interest back, and the principal was still there, so she added some more.

After that, they pulled Mrs. Ge, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Lan to put in the usury money, and she was the guarantor.

Now two years have passed, in order to make more money, these ladies from aristocratic families have invested 80% to 90% of their net worth in Duan Jianzhuo's bank. Take Mrs. Meng herself, she not only invested all her dowry, He also sold a lot of the Meng family's property and invested it all in his brother's bank.

Now that Duan Jianzhuo is running away with a huge sum of money, it means that not only will she get nothing, but she will also have to give an explanation to Mrs. Ge, Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Lan.

Not to mention, there are also the hard-earned money invested by some merchants and ordinary people in Yanjing.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng sat down on the ground, her whole body limp, and she didn't even have the strength to get angry. Mrs. Zhu quickly stepped forward to help Mrs. Meng: "Sister, what should we do now? At the end of the month, where can we go to pay interest to people outside."

"You..." Mrs. Meng raised her finger and pointed at Mrs. Zhu: "You are such a pig. I usually ask you to take good care of my brother. Now that something has happened, and you ask me what to do, of course you need to find someone and give me Duan Jianzhuo." get back."

"I've looked for him, sister." Madam Zhu spread out on the ground in shock: "He hasn't been home for five days. I sent people to various brothels to look for him, but he was nowhere to be seen. Later, when I opened the cash box, I found it was empty. All the banknotes in the warehouse were also missing, so I was sure that he had run away. And half a month ago, he went to Zuixianglou to redeem Ruyan, so he had already planned to run away. "

Mrs. Meng was so angry that her stomach hurt, and she fell into the maid's arms in an instant.

Just in time, the head of the Meng family walked in from outside the courtyard: "Madam..."

When Mrs. Meng heard the voice of Master Meng, her body trembled suddenly and she struggled to stand up from the ground.

The head of the Meng family happened to see this scene: "What's wrong, madam?"

The head of the Meng family personally stepped forward to help Mrs. Meng. Mrs. Meng opened her mouth with a stiff expression and said, "I accidentally fell. It's nothing serious."

"It's better to ask the doctor to come over and take a look. Madam's face doesn't look good."

"It's okay, really. Why did the head of the family come back earlier than usual today?" Mrs. Meng forced a smile and asked, suppressing the pain in her heart.

Mrs. Meng gave birth to five sons for him, and she had no concubines in the backyard. The head of the Meng family was also devoted to the ambition of strengthening the family. Therefore, the internal affairs of the Meng Mansion were fully handed over to Mrs. Meng. When he usually used money to manage external affairs, Then he asked Mrs. Meng to prepare, and now he also asked Mrs. Meng for money.

"The emperor has passed away and needs some money. Madam has prepared five thousand taels of silver for me. I will come to the court tomorrow morning to get it."

Mrs. Meng's expression changed instantly... (End of chapter)
