Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 149 Commercial Documents (5)
These stewards had never seen Xu Zongde so aggrieved since they came to Xu's house, and none of them dared to show their anger.

At this time, a doorkeeper ran in and said in a panic, "Master, Master, Chen Xianglai is here!"

Xianglai has not shown up since handing over the Tianxiang industry with Xu Zongde. Xu Zongde thought she had returned to Yanjiang Village, but he didn't expect to show up at this time.

He asked strangely: "What is she here for? Could it be a joke just to see me?!"

The servant said: "No, no, she said she came to close the shop."

"Receive the shop, what kind of shop does she take? Huiyuan Bank should take over the shop."

The servant's face was twitched like his own mother, and said: "She, she said, she said she is the owner of Huiyuan Bank!"

Xu Zongde was stunned for a while, then jumped up from his chair and shouted, "What did you say? Say it again!"

The gatekeeper had no choice but to cry and said: "Chen Xianglai said she is the owner of Huiyuan Bank!"

Xu Zongde stood there in a daze for a while, thinking that the servant's words were not trustworthy, he waved to the stewards and said, "Go, have a look."

After speaking, he led the crowd to the gate of the mansion.

Xianglai dressed up carefully before going out today, wearing a shiny emerald green wide-sleeved Xiangjinru skirt, with a cloud bun on her head, and a butterfly double flower hairpin inlaid with pearls, left by the mother-in-law. The giant clam inlaid bracelet was half hidden, and the whole person looked glamorous, and he really had the prestige of a female boss who came to collect debts.

Today is a day to be proud and elated, so what if you don't show off your strength.

A few days ago, she had notified the family in Yanjiang Village to ask Guifang, Huiling and Shunzi to come over to help close the store, and specially asked them to bring Tianlai too.

Xu Zongde really avenged his father by fighting against him. This is a matter between the siblings, and Tianlai must be present to witness it.

A group of them, the man riding a horse, and the woman sitting on a cool slider came to the gate of Xu Zongde's mansion.

After letting the gatekeeper pass the message, everyone waited outside the mansion.

Tianlai has spent less and less time with his sister in the past two years, and he always has no chance to ask some questions. Until then, he quietly approached Xianglai and asked in a low voice: "Sister, the Songning Mansion killed her the year before last. Are those two people really the murderers who killed Dad?"

Xianglai tilted her head and took a look. Tianlai was 13 years old, about the same height as herself. In the past two years, she learned business from shopkeeper Chen, and her temperament became more and more calm. She looked like a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

She asked in a low voice, "Why do you ask that?"

Tianlai said: "If those two are really the murderers of father, and you take Xu Zongde's farm again, there is no need to deal with him like this again, but you have come all the way from Songning to Huikang, and you will take Xu Zongde's money even at a loss. Dou Dao, if it wasn't for the fact that father didn't take revenge, would you be able to make such a fuss?"

Xianglai raised her hand and patted his shoulder lightly, saying: "You can think of this, so my sister can rest assured."

Although she admitted it in a disguised form, Tianlai still wanted to ask the truth and said, "Tell me, is it right?"

Xiang Lai said: "They admitted it, but I don't admit it. There is a grievance and a debt. I can't hide what I owe. I have to come back if I want it."

Tianlai finally made up his mind, and stood there sullenly staring at the door of the mansion in front of him, as if he wanted to rush in immediately and drag out the man inside.

Xu Zongde led people to the gate, seeing the domineering Xianglai in the middle of the crowd, his heart sank suddenly.

He came to the door step by step, looked directly at Xianglai and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xianglai stood opposite him, smiled calmly and reservedly, and said, "Close the shop."

At this time Yuan Dongqi came out from behind, and introduced in a timely manner: "Boss Xu, this is the new owner of Huiyuan Bank in Huikang Prefecture."

There was another buzz in Xu Zongde's head.

Originally, he had had a little hope before going out, hoping that Xianglai was just pretending to scare people. In that case, even if his batch of shops were confiscated, there was still room for relief. Maybe the next batch of money could be delayed, and he could just pay The interest dragged on, but Yuan Dongqi's words shattered all his fantasies.

I planted myself, completely planted!

If Chen Xianglai was the owner of Huiyuan, then maybe this trap has been set long ago, maybe it started with her own loan, no no no, maybe it started with her frantic price war with herself, or even earlier. This is a trap.

Forcing myself to cut prices, selling properties to show weakness, luring myself to take out mortgages, holding down my money and closing the shop... It was a series of tricks all over the place, and I was completely tricked by her!
Thinking of this, he felt something was wrong. If this was really a series of tricks, then could it be that Cao Mingquan and the Korean embassy were helping her? !
For a while, Xu Zongde's mind was in a mess, and he was dizzy and dizzy.

Looking at Xianglai and the others in front of him, he thought subconsciously: "No wonder she was so calm when I took over her shop before, even her servant who was like a mad dog didn't move. cornered..."

Yuan Dongqi stood beside Xianglai and looked at Xu Zongde with pity, and said in his heart: Whoever made you die will offend anyone. Do you know who has plotted against you?Don't talk about calculating your property, even if you want to kill you, it's the same as a game.

Xu Zongde's heart was cold, knowing that it would be bad if it fell into Xianglai's hands. After the money was collected, there was no room for grace for the second, third, and fourth tranches after that. , shops, fields, real estate, everything will be taken away by others!
He was no longer in the mood to follow and watch, and waved his hand to greet the chief steward, asking him to follow Xianglai and others to hand over the shop, handle the loan repayment documents, and return to the mansion by himself in a daze.

The more this old guy thinks about it, the more he feels that this is a wicked thing. Chen Xianglai can count on him, but he, Cao Mingquan, is also with her, telling him the news of the sale of commercial rights in Korea, and the embassy in Korea is also making the deputy envoy. It's true, but they actually helped Chen Xianglai, who is this Chen Xianglai?It's just the daughter of a farmer who was beaten to death by herself. How could she have such a great ability to summon all kinds of people to help her.

After much deliberation, he was so aggrieved that he couldn't take it anymore, he turned around and went out to the magistrate's yamen again.

Cao Mingquan's affairs on his side also attracted people's attention. He was also shocked when he learned that Chen Xianglai was the last one to collect the shop. He sat there thinking about it and knew that Xu Zongde must have been set up by someone. There is no way to turn over.

It's just that he didn't realize that he actually played a very important role in this design.

When Xu Zongde came, Cao Mingquan hesitated again and again, and decided to meet him. Even if Xu Zongde really fell for it, it would be good to know the ins and outs of this matter. As for his asking for help or borrowing money, use whatever words you like Not sent yet.
