Chapter 289 Temptation (1)

Zhu Youning looked at the closed door of the Zhu family's house with great interest and smiled: "Master Eighth has thought it apart. What I want is not just that."

"Not just that?" Fo Baye crossed his hands, and his complex expression was a little bit of fun.

Zhu Youning pressed his hat and turned around and walked out of the alley. Fo Ba Master and Dou Wanwan immediately followed.

"From the beginning, I had only one purpose, to close the Zhu Family Money House, which disrupted the market." She was in a relaxed mood and her pace was very light. "But this kind of scene caused so many people to be anxious, and I was a little sad."

Master Fo Ba laughed: "Stop talking and joking, girls, those who accomplish great things are not careful, let alone you have no harm to others."

"I don't want to harm people. The business model of Zhujia Money House is not just disrupting the market. In the end, they will cheat a group of people. Whoever catches up will be unlucky. How much money can an ordinary family have? Should I live a life if I am cheated? Why should I bear the Zhujia Money House now and ask them to pay back all the money, so I can't cheat people anymore in the future."

Dou Wanwan followed Zhu Youning longer and became more and more aware of her, and she felt more and more impressed.

The strange father and brother both said that she was lucky enough to follow the girl. Whether she was dealing with it in the court in the capital or her calm approach now, she felt that following such a master would be full of hope in the future, and it would be better than living in a daze, and she would be cleaned up and marry someone whenever she was married.

Zhu Youning whispered to Dou Wanwan: "Let's go back and go quietly to see how the house is going. I'm worried that the old man would say something bad to my parents when he goes home. Also, see how Mr. Luo is doing. Don't affect him. Let me tell me if you have anything to do. I'd better think of a solution. Also, be careful not to tell someone whereabouts."

Dou Wanwan smiled and responded one by one, saying, "Don't worry, girl, I'll change my dress later. There are so many people gathered in front of the mansion, and the beauty will notice me."

This is exactly what Zhu Youning means.

Zhu Youning and Fo Baye avoided the crowd and returned to the manor where they had been temporarily living for the past few days. They also ordered people to pay attention to the situation in front of the Zhu family.

In contrast to her leisurely and peaceful life, the Zhu family's house was already in chaos.

The old lady took her children and grandchildren to pack up her clothes and put them in a tight and soft manner. The women's faces were full of deep fear.

"What should I do? What do those unruly people gathered in front of our house and wanted to do!"

"I heard that Brother Feng paid for his business and owed a lot of money outside. Those people thought they were here to collect debts!"

"Will they break in?"

"If we break in, we will have no way to live, so we will just hang our necks."

After saying this, several people started to sob and cry.

Most of the women were not well-informed with external information, and at this time they were so panicked that they didn't know what to do.

The old lady repeatedly urged the maid: "Go to the outer courtyard to see if the old lady is back. If it is not, call the second or third masters to come!"

The maid went to look for someone with a slight leap, but the news brought back was that the old man and the second man were not at home.

"Who cares about the outside world?" The old lady's face turned pale.

"Go back to the old lady, I don't know..."

At this critical moment, it was enough to hear the shouts of the mobs outside the mansion. Even the most calm maids on weekdays were panicked.

I don’t know if the guards in the mansion can stop the mob that is about to rush in?

If they can't resist, what should they do?

The terror was spreading, and the younger girls and their wives were so scared that they were almost out of control. In despair, someone started to complain in a low voice.

"It's not me that cousin Feng is too arrogant. I heard that this time the incident was entirely because of him. It is said that he was not good at managing the money house..."

"Stop." The old lady scolded her, and the panicked women in the room stopped talking.

But the old lady can control a house, but she can't control so many mouths in the mansion, and she doesn't even care how the other square-headed people evaluate this matter.

Zhu Yanfeng was standing at the gate at this time, outside the door panel, there were angry people.

What should he do? He didn't dare to show his face now. He was worried that the mob would cause trouble and hurt people impulsively. How could he walk out of the house by himself?

But if he hadn't come forward to appease these people, what if they really had the intention of breaking in and grabbing a deal?

Why doesn’t he see such a big door seem to be enough for those people to attack? What’s even more terrifying is that the Zhu family is not a castle, and the courtyard wall of the house is just an ordinary height. What if the group of people don’t break through the door but climb over the wall?

Zhu Yanfeng really wanted to die at this time and never wanted to pay attention to this mess again!

Just as Zhu Yanfeng stared at the pink wall in a daze, as if she was really estimating what would happen if she met one head, a noise suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall. After listening carefully, it seemed that a group of people rushed over, including scolding and intimidation. Then, even after hearing the cheerful voices of the people who had just shouted gradually weakened.

In front of the mansion, Cai Magistrate took his master and ordered Captain Yang to bring all his brothers whom he was Deyi.

A group of soap clerks were dressed neatly and waving their scabbards, which made the unjust people dare not say more.

"Can you know that gathering people to cause trouble for no reason can be regarded as treason?!" Cai Zhixian scolded with a calm face and loud voice, "I can now kill you, a group of mobs who are treasoning on the spot!"

Among the crowd, the brave people began to cry and complain that their money from the Zhu family's money house was denied.

Before Cai came, he naturally understood the situation and was not angry with the Zhu family's trouble. But now he wanted to calm the civil unrest.

Citizen Cai softened his tone and said, "Everyone, fellow villagers, please be quiet and listen to me."

He raised his hands and signaled that he was quiet.

Although the people hated the Zhu family's money house, now there is an official who can make the decision for them. They also develop a sense of dependence and think about relying on the power of the government to solve the problem.

I think there is a magistrate here, even if the Zhu Family Money House is bold, he will definitely pay back the money.

Seeing that the people finally shut up, Cai Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I already know the reason why everyone gathers here today. I think everyone is too worried. The money from the Zhu Family Money House is just not enough to make up for it now. Isn't this time for transportation? If you save the money, you will go to make money. Why do you take all your own money because of rumors?"

Citizen Cai wants to persuade everyone not to withdraw money now.

But Mr. Zhu and Zhu Huazhang, who were hiding behind Crazy Cai, both knew in their hearts that Crazy Cai’s mobilization was useless.

If they could take out one million taels of cash, they could naturally block Youyou's mouth and say that the Zhu family's money house was an empty shell, and rumors like liars would naturally be broken.

But the problem is that they can't come up with it!

Since I can't take it out, I want these people to believe in the Zhu family's money house with just a few words, which is simply a dream.

Sure enough, Cai Zhixian’s persuasion did not work at all.

However, everyone gave face to the magistrate, and did not scold him again. They just said persistently: "Our family has urgent money. The money house is run by the Zhu family. Your family has great business. Just pulling a single head is enough for us ordinary people to eat for a year. The Zhu family is so rich, so let them take out the money!"

"That's right, don't tell us that this problem is the management of the money house, and it has nothing to do with the Zhu family's house. If you can't write two characters Zhu, can you not be a family now?"

Some people took the lead, and complaints in the crowd continued to come one after another.

Cai Zhixian persuaded him patiently, but when the crowd was excited, nothing he said worked. He had to instruct the people around him, "I have surrounded him so much that I will not allow this group of people to break into the Zhu family."

Cai Zhixian was still thinking that the Lord of the Mansion was probably already aware of such a big deal about Fu Yangsheng. He had to ask him about his crimes that were unfavorable. It would be better to explain the future and the Lord of the Mansion was clear before others complained.

If we want to suppress the riots of the people, the real officers and soldiers can be much more intimidating than those of the Zaoli.

County Magistrate Cai gave a brief explanation, and the master made a few more suggestions, so he immediately started to do it.

Seeing the embarrassed face of Mr. Zhu and Zhu Huazhang, Citizen Cai frowned. Due to the previous friendship and the various filial piety that the Zhu family never missed, Citizen Cai did not say the unpleasant words, but only lowered his voice: "What's going on in your family? Can't you take out a million taels of silver? Don't look at who caused trouble at this moment, it's all at a critical moment. If you don't have a bad relationship, you'll be in trouble. Are you afraid of destroying the family?"

The voice was lowered, and Cai Zhixian's words stomped into the hearts of Old Master Zhu and Zhu Huazhang like a knife: "You think about the previous dynasty. When the mob broke into the general's mansion, everyone in the whole family was alive."

Zhu Huazhang was sweating profusely and said stutteringly: "No, no..."

"No? If this is true then, don't blame the county for disregarding the past. If such a big disturbance to the court, do you still want to avoid punishment?"

Seeing that Cai Zhixian County was like this, Old Master Zhu immediately bowed and promised: "Don't worry, I won't let the trouble continue. I will prepare the silver immediately. The cash in my hand is indeed not enough. I can think of a solution for the Zhu family."

When he heard Mr. Zhu made a promise, Magistrate Cai’s expression was slightly better.

Before County Magistrate Cai and his master left, he ordered Captain Yang to arrange for Zaoli to take care of him around the Zhu family.

"One, you must be careful not to let someone break into the Zhu family and cause more trouble. Now I hope to suppress the matter. Second, be careful not to let the Zhu family go in and out at will. If they run away and throw away the mess, no one can take out a handful of ten thousand taels of silver. If the people change, it will not be your and my neighbors' heads."

Captain Yang naturally understood the pros and cons, and nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to you."

Old Master Zhu and Zhu Huazhang finally dared to go back to the house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Zhu Yanfeng.

The three of them looked at each other, and Zhu Yanfeng smiled, "Grandfather. Father."

"Yes." Zhu Huazhang responded with a calm face.

The old master Zhu ignored him and directly ordered Zhu Huazhang: "You should contact the Leng family and Jiao family immediately and invite the masters of the two families to come to the mansion to talk to you."

"Dad, although the Leng family and the Jiao family have shares in the money house, they may not be willing to take on this matter with us."

Mr. Zhu said: "Tell them that you don't want them to pay, there is another thing to discuss."

Zhu Huazhang didn't understand what Mr. Zhu was selling in the gourd. He rushed the old man to be in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to ask in detail, so he followed the instructions to do things.

Zhu Youning also received news from Dou Wanwan.

"Everything is fine at home, and everything is normal at the same time as usual at the head of Luo Laoshan. Mr. Li has been walking around diligently these days, and neither the master nor the wife has anything to do."

"That's good." Zhu Youning calculated the days with his fingers and smiled, "I've been out to Huzhou Prefecture for twenty days, so it's time to calculate the days to go back."

"Yes. But the girl hasn't finished the work here yet."

"This is not something that can be done in a short period of time. It's okay, it will be almost done in a few days."

Zhu Youning's slender fingers were dipped in tea and tea. She wrote and painted on the table for a moment, then wiped it with her hand and said, "Let's go to the money shop early tomorrow, and the show is about to begin."

Dou Wanwan said in surprise: "What a good show?"

Zhu Youning said: "When forced to this point, the old man would not just force Zhu Yanfeng to take on this matter. He would definitely mobilize all the cash bank of the Zhu family. Don't forget that he had deposited 300,000 taels of silver in Chang'an Money House. Moreover, in addition to the Zhu family's money house, they all said that their colleagues were enemies. When the Zhu family's money house caused such a big incident, it was obvious that someone calculated that Mr. Zhu would not be so stupid that he could not see it. He would definitely suspect that the Chang'an Money House would."

"Girl, what should I do?" Dou Wanwan was a little worried.

Zhu Youning waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm afraid he won't come. Let's go to the money shop early tomorrow. Last time, I didn't let someone install a mirror like Renyi Bo's family next to the flower hall where guests can use."

Since I saw something similar to a "periscope" in Yansui Mansion, Zhu Youning also asked Cai Yuanjie to arrange small compartments next to several flower halls in the money house for reception, and installed "periscopes", which might be useful in the future. Since you want to watch the show, you have to choose the best angle to watch.

The next day, Zhu Youning, Fo Ba Master, Dou Wanwan, and Huamei quietly went to Chang'an Money House. When he saw Cai Yuanjie, he whispered his instructions, and then went to a small house to wait.

After listening to Zhu Youning's instructions, Cai Yuanjie could not control his excited expression on his face, his eyes were bright, and he went to the cabinet downstairs to check the goods for receipt. He was doing what he had at hand, and he did not forget to take a look out from time to time.

It was only when I first met the Si hour that I saw several simple flat-headed carriages Shanshan arrived late.

The man who got off the carriage had a clear face and a calm expression, and a bit irritable. He was the old man Zhu who was in a panic.

Behind him were the second master Zhu Huazhang, Zhu Yanfeng, and the master who invested in the Zhu family's money house.

Mr. Leng and Mr. Jiao’s family are all juniors of Mr. Zhu. They usually meet with each other, but the Zhu family’s money house is not well managed and such a big deal can’t help but smile on their faces.

Mr. Leng said: "...I will take the money today, and at least block the hole and calm the matter down first."
