Zhu Huazhang was blushed when the master said it, and the truth was indeed as people said. Things outside were indeed urgent. If they were not done well, the success or failure of the Zhu family was naturally not concerned. What they cared about was whether they would lose their worries.

Zhu Huazhang did not dare to delay any more, so he hurriedly led the prefect Lu and his master to the main room: "My father is unwell and is resting in the inner house at this time. Prefect Lu is not an outsider. He is urgently following the power. Please take your stern move."

"please."

The group quickly walked towards the inner house, and Zhu Huazhang had already ordered people to go to the inner house to report the news and informed the irrelevant women in advance to avoid it.

Mr. Zhu had already had enough rest at this time. As soon as he got up, he ate a small bowl of rice porridge, a maid came outside and told me: "Old Master, Master Lu has arrived. The second master is accompanying him here."

Mr. Zhu was now gray and scattered with disheveled hair, pale face, full of fatigue, and completely lost his usual spirit. He looked like he was ten years older.

The old lady knew that Mr. Zhu loved face and said hesitantly: "Master, do you want to clean it up for you?"

Old Master Zhu shook his head and waved his hand speechlessly.

The old lady nodded and retreated to the side room for a while.

Soon, Zhu Huazhang had already led the prefect Lu into the house. Hearing the footsteps, Old Master Zhu immediately lifted up the quilt and wanted to go downstairs to pay homage.

"Old Master Zhu, don't do this, don't do this!"

Prefect Lu took a few steps and held Mr. Zhu's arm with both hands.

"Sir." Old Master Zhu's hair was disheveled, his face was ashen, and his eyes were red with red choked, "Sir, you also see what you look outside. I... I'm so speechless to face the adult!"

"Old Master Zhu doesn't need to blame himself so much. No one wants to do this. Now we still have to think about ways to let this storm pass."

Zhu Huazhang had already brought Wu Zi. Prefect Lu sat down next to the edge of the bed.

Old Master Zhu leaned against the bed post and shook his head in a mess.

The prefect Lu sighed: "It's time for this, Mr. Zhu still needs to cheer up, and this family depends on you. Besides, the matter is so big that if it is not resolved as soon as possible, there will only be more and more people outside. In the short term, our government can suppress it with officers and soldiers, but after all, there are many people. If there is a big conflict and a civilian change in Fuyang County is really happening, the court will never sit idly by, and the consequences are not something you and I can bear."

Old Master Zhu's nose felt sore and almost burst into tears. "I know what the lord meant. But now, the Zhu family is really desperate. If you want to protect the Zhu family's money house and calm the matter, you can only get the people to get the silver as soon as possible. But where should you get such a large amount? Who has 15 million taels of silver? Who is willing to lend it to the Zhu family for emergency treatment?"

They are all doing business, and their opponents may have been watching the show with their waists on their backs for a long time.

He wanted to keep the Zhu Family Money House. Even if he borrowed money to return the people's money, at least the transaction of the Zhu Family Money House was still there. Most of the people who borrowed were Yalang, and a small number were other customers. The repayment dates agreed upon at the time were almost here. As long as these people paid back the money, he had a way to turn around, and the Zhu Family Money House slowly recovered.

But the problem now is that reality doesn't give him time to breathe.

He now regrets it very much. For the sake of face, he did not write more letters to his old friends, and asked the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce for his request, but did not respond to him. If he had given up his face and had pieced together with those families to borrow the money, he could at least mortgage it to the money house with his house and shop, and borrow another silver to help him.

Now, the Zhu family has nothing to mortgage.

The prefect of Lu sighed again and said, "I also know that this is the time when the Zhu family is in a dilemma. I have arranged troops to protect the safety of the Zhu family. However, if this matter is delayed, it will only get bigger and bigger, and we will be implicated by this. The person who is already aware of this matter has given us an ultimatum, and we can only hand over this period to you. Within five days or five days, you have to solve this matter, otherwise we will have to take the last step."

Old Master Zhu's eyes were straightened when he heard this, and he was shocked to death.

Zhu Huazhang screamed: "Five days are not enough, magistrate, please be content with it! It is impossible to get such a large number in five days. We are already at a loss!"

"I know that you are in a difficult situation, so I will be able to be so grateful." The prefect of Lu stood up, his face no longer happy. Zhu Huazhang's screams were very harsh, which made him unhappy.

The master said, "This is already the magistrate. You go everywhere to inquire about it. What will happen if such a thing happens elsewhere. Do you know how much pressure the magistrate is under for you?"

Zhu Huazhang was so blocked that he couldn't speak.

Mr. Zhu was more rational and nodded, "Thank you, magistrate, we will come up with a solution as soon as possible."

The Magistrate Lu's expression was slightly relaxed, "You should take care of yourself." After that, he turned around and left.

Zhu Huazhang realized that he had just made the prefect unhappy, so he hurriedly sent him to see him off with him.

He sent the person to the front door of the mansion, and the prefect Lu did not look at him directly, which made Zhu Huazhang feel even more nervous.

The Zhu family was panicked, and more and more people were surrounded by the mansion, and the noise and scolding became louder and louder. The women hid together and complained in a low voice, and some were so scared that they cried. Men could not even dare to go out of the door.

Before Mr. Zhu could come up with a reliable solution, the Leng family and the Jiao family came again. The two companies had invested in the Zhu family's money house, but today they both withdrew their shares!

This is undoubtedly a clear line with the Zhu family and does not want to be taken into the ditch by them.

Zhu Huazhang cursed in anger. Old Master Zhu heard the noise and drove Zhu Huazhang out of the bedroom.

Zhu Huazhang felt depressed. When he returned to the yard, he called Zhu Yanfeng and scolded him.

"You useless thing, what's the point of raising you? If I knew you were so uneasy, it would be better to drown you in the urine pot directly!"

Zhu Yanfeng's face was pale, and her back teeth were creaking.

However, Wen heard Zhu Huazhang's words clearly in the corridor, rushed in and scratched Zhu Huazhang's face: "Don't you fart, you're useless. Come back and vent your son. Do you want to drown him? I'll kill you first!"

Wen was born with beauty and good at being a human being. This was the first time that he showed such a twitchy and clawed look in front of Zhu Huazhang. Zhu Huazhang was angry and felt that Wen was extremely vulgar, so he pushed her away and brushed her sleeves away.

Wen wiped his tears in anger and turned around to help his son comfort him: "Brother Feng, don't listen to their mischief. The old Zhu family has few good birds, all of them are scum who turn to the wind! When we were in the past, those people cursed us, but now if something happened, just look like this! Don't worry, after this matter has passed, we will live as glorious as before."

Zhu Yanfeng nodded blankly, but her face turned from white to blue. She shook her body, and her eyes turned back, scaring Wen to tears.
