The first dawn breaks, and the morning light remains the same.
There was a sudden knock on the door of the Hou Mansion. The person who came to open the door opened one side of the door and was stunned.
The impatient look on the guard's face was also shocked: "Mr. Wang, why did you come here at this hour? The old lady shouldn't have gotten up yet."
As the old lady's mother-in-law, how could the doorman not know Mr. Wang Deyun? He was the one who opened the door for Mr. Wang yesterday, but he didn't know why he came so early today.
Wang Deyun didn't care what time it was, and said quickly: "I want to see my sister, let me in quickly."
In less than a moment, Wang Deyun hurriedly arrived at Yangxinju.
"Old lady, Mr. Wang wants to see you now, is he arriving soon?" As an old man next to the old lady, Aunt Zhou naturally knew that the old lady had already stood up at this time, so she stepped forward to report.
The old lady was stunned. Didn't she just meet her yesterday? Why is she here again at this time?
Just when I was about to ask what happened, I heard an urgent voice coming from outside the door: "Sister, you have to help your brother and save my useless grandson." '
The old lady looked at her younger brother in surprise, who knelt down and wailed as soon as he entered the door. He said with some hatred: "Get up, how old are you? If you have something to say, you can't talk about it properly. You kneel down at every turn, and say... Do you have any sense of manliness?"
Wang Deyun couldn't care less about this at the moment: "Sister, it's not my brother who has no spine, but your favorite grandson, the only seedling of my Wang family who has been detained. You have to save him."
"Oh, what's going on? What kind of trouble did uncle make this early in the morning? Get up quickly." Sun, who had originally planned to come to greet her mother early in the morning, saw the old lady as soon as she entered the door. Jun's brother knelt on the ground and quickly helped him up.
Although he was smiling on the outside, he was still full of contempt in his heart, thinking: He is already in his fifties, and he is still crying, and he has no shame at all.
Wang Deyun was completely panicked. When he stood up, he quickly took out the things in his arms without caring about anything else: "Sister, look at it, this is your grandson Wang Yu's hair. They have already said, If you can't get the silver before this afternoon, your grandson will be killed."
"What?" The old lady was also very frightened, but what followed was anger: "Who dares to be so bold? Don't they know that Wang Yu is the grandson of our Xingyong Marquis Mansion? Such a threat to a Marquis Mansion, they Do you really think that my Marquis can't handle the knife?"
Although the Xingyong Hou Mansion is now in the sunset, it is still a noble class in Kyoto. Needless to say goodbye, even the Hou Mansion has its own three hundred private soldiers. If you really want to get angry, ordinary thieves really don't need to leave it. In eyes.
"Sister, how about I tell you in private, here..." Wang Deyun's eyes were a little dodgey. After all, he knew very well what happened to his grandson, and naturally he didn't want more people to know.
The old lady was furious and waved her hand: "Just say it here, they are all members of our Hou family, how can we be threatened by others?"
Helpless, Wang Deyun had to tell everything.
The gambling debt is still fifty thousand taels of silver.
The old lady was so angry that she couldn't speak. She just pointed at Wang Deyun and scolded her loudly.
Wang Deyun waved his sleeves to wipe away the spittle that his sister splashed on his face, and did not dare to quibble. At this time, rescuing the person first was the most important thing.
After a while, with the comfort of Grandma Zhou and Mrs. Sun, the old lady calmed down: "Which gambling house is it at, and who is the owner behind it?"
Wang Deyun said: "It's Da'an Gambling House. I heard behind the scenes that the current Mr. Xie is in control."
Da'an Gambling House is one of the four major gambling houses in Kyoto, and it is backed by powerful princes such as Mr. Xie. What's more important is that Mr. Xie has always been at odds with Marquis Xingyong before, and has eroded the Hou's property the most in recent years. This is the person.
In other words, it is definitely impossible to negotiate. Even if the Marquis is still there, if such a thing happens, he will probably have to pay for the ransom. There is no second choice.
But with the current situation in the Hou Mansion, where would she find the fifty thousand taels of silver.
But if you don't save it and don't tell others, it is the only seedling of your old Wang family. How can you explain to the ancestors of the Wang family if it is gone?
"Save, how do you want me to save it?" Seeing his younger brother still crying here, the old lady was also very angry: "Fifty thousand taels, where do you want me to find fifty thousand taels now? With so much money, you might as well Go grab it.”
When Wang Deyun saw his sister's appearance, he was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, Wang Yu was his grandson, and he was the only direct descendant of the Wang family.
"Sister, no need. I have collected all the assets of the Wang family on my own. There are more than 6,000 taels of silver, and there is still 44,000 taels left. Didn't you say yesterday that the Hou Mansion had sorted out the account books? After all the assets are discounted, they probably look like this. How much money?"
The old lady's pupils widened when she heard this, and she immediately threw the teapot in her hand to the ground and shouted angrily: "You bastard, that is the property of the entire Hou Mansion, and it has been sold to thousands of people in our Hou Mansion to eat and drink whatever they want. , that is the property of the Marquis Mansion, not the private property of your Wang family, are you seeking death for coming here?"
If it weren't for the fact that this was his biological brother, the old lady would have wanted to kill him at this moment, and she would have dared to set her sights on the Hou Mansion. It was simply audacious.
And in front of an outsider like Sun, he really felt that he didn't die quickly enough.
Wang Deyun also felt something was wrong, so he had to speak again: "Sister, besides this method, brother, I have another idea, which is..."
"What time has it been? If you can find a way, tell me as soon as possible." The old lady was still angry, but after all, it was about Wang Yu's life and death, so he couldn't really say that he didn't care about it completely.
Wang Deyun adjusted his clothes: "I know that our Hou Mansion and Mr. Xie are not going to deal with it, but Mr. Zhang of the Zhang family has a close relationship with Mr. Xie's eldest son. If Mr. Zhang is willing to help with this matter, then it is still It can’t just be dealt with. Besides, even if you have to pay for it then, isn’t there still..."
"Good guy." Mrs. Sun secretly criticized this in her heart. This is simply ridiculous.
Your grandson is a gambler and has a lot of gambling debts. He actually wants Mr. Zhang to pay for it. Why?
Because of your age, why don’t you take a shower?
When the old lady heard this, she also had an idea. No matter how much Zhang Yuhang said, he was his uncle, so he must handle this matter. After all, he was the only one who could talk to Mr. Zhang in the Hou family and have a relationship.
Moreover, Zhang Yuhang was really ready to sort out the Hou Mansion's property yesterday. In this way, the assets he gave to his brother's family would inevitably be reshuffled, and he would also have to take out the money he had put into the Hou Mansion. How could that be done?
I just want to take this opportunity to deal with this matter properly. How can I take out the money that has been taken into the Hou Mansion? Once it comes in, it is mine. If you want to take it out, don't even think about it.
"Mother Zhou, please wait and call Shi Rui and Liu over first. After they arrive at my place, you can go to Yong'an Residence to call my uncle over and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."
