I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 243

Chapter 243 My heart is bleeding

In order to maintain his image, Mr. Guo forced himself to put on a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the house."

 As long as these people enter the house, it is not up to her to decide how things will be handled.

She could have said that the lack of loan sharking was just a rumor spread by people with good intentions, and it was a misunderstanding.

 She has the IOU signed by those people in her hand, so they don't dare to have any objections.

Even if these people who borrowed usury money want to make trouble, she only needs to reduce the interest rate by a tiny bit, and they should be satisfied.

Ling Chu had guessed Guo's plan early on.

She said nothing, but glanced at Zhou Banqin who was mixed in the crowd.

Zhou Banqin's mother immediately said in a loud voice, "Madam is kind-hearted, so we can't be ungrateful and not enter the house to disturb you. We are just waiting here. Madam can just ask someone to return the money we received earlier. There is still money at home." I'm waiting for the money to buy rice for cooking.”

“Yes, yes, we won't go in. I'm still waiting to get the money and take my dad to see a doctor.”

Hearing those words asking for money, Mr. Guo was filled with anger, but could not vent it.

Outside the crowd, Cao Hongxin, the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division, was watching eagerly with his men on the pretext of preventing someone from causing trouble.

Ms. Guo did not dare to get angry, so she could only smile and persuade her with kind words for a long time, but no one listened to her and entered the Duke of Zhao's house.

Seeing that she kept refusing to give money, Cao Hongdeng in the crowd shouted, "The Duke's wife said that in order to help everyone, the money that was lent before will not be used, and the money that has been collected will be returned to everyone.

　Why haven't you asked anyone to take out the money after we've been waiting for so long? Could it be that... you regretted it and don't want to return the money to us? "

As soon as Cao Hongdeng said this, many people started asking questions.

 Mr. Guo felt angry in her throat, but she couldn't vent it in front of so many people.

At this moment, Cao Hongxin looked at her in surprise, "Did Duke Zhao's government secretly issue loan sharks?"

Mr. Guo's expression changed. It is illegal to issue loan sharks privately. If word spreads, the whole government may be implicated by her.

Although it was the nanny around her who put the usury money, no one would believe that a nanny had the courage and ability to do such a thing. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that she was the instigator behind the scenes.

 Husband and wife are one body, and she is the Duke's wife. In the eyes of the emperor and the courtiers, her loan sharking is equivalent to what the Duke of Zhao did.

 She could not let the emperor give up the title of Duke Zhao.

After weighing things up, Mrs. Guo said with a smile that was uglier than crying, "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding. Our government did not issue loan sharks privately.

 Zhao Guogong's mansion is just experiencing poor growth, and some families can't even afford food and clothing. The sick people couldn't even afford the money for medicine. In order to help everyone, our Duke Zhao's government saved money and lent the money we saved to everyone. "

Guo wanted to cover up the truth, but Ling Chu would not let her do it. "So, you, the Duke of Zhao, are doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. But why did you charge such a high interest rate when you borrowed money? Could it be that you are actually doing good deeds in the name of doing good deeds?" In the name of making money wantonly?"

Ms. Guo wanted to tear her apart with her hands.

"This is all a misunderstanding. The nanny next to me is old and confused and didn't handle the matter well."

"So, the money lent by the Duke's government still needs to be taken back? But how did I hear that your Duke's government understands everyone's difficulties and decides to do good things to the end, so it doesn't want any of the money it lent. And the money it received before, It will also be returned to everyone.

 Could it be that you actually loaned loan money privately from the beginning, and now that the matter has been exposed, you are afraid of being held accountable by the emperor, so you lied and claimed that the loan was to help everyone overcome the current difficulties? "

"Could it be that after everyone left, your government said it was a misunderstanding and that the usury money lent would still be collected, and that the high interest rate should not be less?"

As soon as Ling Chu said this, everyone rushed forward to ask Guo for an explanation. The wife of the Duke of Zhao was hiding in the door, angry and helpless.

The crowd is too angry. If this matter cannot be handled properly, something will happen to Zhao Guofu.

For the sake of her son, the wife had to stand up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say. Our Duke Zhao's Mansion did not release usury money privately. This is all a misunderstanding."

Our Zhao family has ancestral precepts that future generations should do more good deeds and accumulate virtue. The money given by the Zhao family will not be returned, so everyone can rest assured. "

He turned around and ordered, "Manager Zhao, take out all the money in the house. All the money that Mother Zhao collected before will be returned."

As soon as Mrs. Tai said this, those who had borrowed usury were all very happy.

The wife took the opportunity and said, "Originally we wanted to help everyone, but we didn't expect that the grandma in the house was confused and did the wrong thing. I hope everyone can give me some face and don't blame her."

Don't worry, everyone, I will ask the steward to check the IOU with you and burn it in front of you. You don't have to worry that our Zhao Guogong Mansion will ask you to pay back the money afterwards..."

 With Mrs. Tai's promise, everyone was finally relieved and smiling.

Mr. Guo looked at the burned IOUs and the returned money, and her heart was bleeding.

It was all her money that was burned!

Ms. Guo glared at Ling Chu like a knife, it must be this bitch's fault.

 Let's see how she deals with her after those people leave.

Noticing Guo's eyes, Ling Chu glanced at her casually and looked away, but suddenly turned back and stared at her Yintang.

 She remembered that when she first entered Zhao's house, Mrs. Guo's face was flushed.

　　Not to mention that the Yintang turned black at this time, the black air was still tinged with blood.

 This look...is a recipe for prison.

Just when Lingchu was curious about Guo's change in appearance, a man wearing a bunt suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

 He cursed angrily at Mrs. Zhao Guogong, "Any family that accumulates good deeds and does good deeds is all a lie. You are just making usury money!"

My third brother borrowed fifty taels from you, but you deceived him into being illiterate and tricked him into signing a usury note. I later found out that I owed you more than a thousand taels because of the compound interest. "

"My third brother came to you to argue, but he never saw anyone again after entering your Duke Zhao's mansion. You must have killed my third brother because you were afraid that he would expose your loan sharking."

"Nonsense, our Duke of Zhao doesn't know your third brother, let alone killed anyone. Could it be that you got greedy when you saw that we had forgiven everyone the money they borrowed, and wanted to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money?"

Mrs. Guo's face was green and black. She never thought that the family of the man whom she had beaten to death last time would still come to her door half a year later.

 And he exposed it in public.

“Bah, I'm not one of your kind people who appears kind but actually has a dark heart.

You said you have never harmed my third brother, then do you dare to let us enter your Duke Zhao's mansion to search? "
