Fubai knew he shouldn't have appeared, but he still showed up. Not only did he appear, he also accidentally made a noise.
The two people hugging each other were shocked.
Xu Wanning pushed Pei Heng away suddenly, too embarrassed to look up.
Pei Heng, on the other hand, glanced at Fubai unhappily, as if he would never end his fight with you today unless he gave me a reasonable explanation.
Fu Bai swallowed his saliva and said anxiously: "Wei San has returned to Beijing."
Then he told an even more exciting story: "When Wei San arrived home, Cui Qingping happened to be taken back home by a loan shark. He took an IOU of 30,000 taels and asked the Duke of Wei to repay the money for him."
Xu Wanning pursed her lips and laughed.
Pei Heng turned his head to look at her, just in time to see her smiling face. Their eyes met again. Xu Wanning's face turned red again when she thought of what just happened.
At the entrance of Duke Wei's Mansion.
Sun Bufa, a loan shark, had a sinister expression on his face. He looked fearlessly at Aicheng who had just successfully suppressed the bandits and returned to the capital with military exploits.
"Mr. Wei, it's not that I, Sun Bufa, didn't give you face today and prevented you from coming to the stage at such an important moment. It's because your family owes you too much money.
Well, 30,000 taels of silver, the compound interest has now become 35,000 taels. If we don't pay it back today, it will be 35,500 taels tomorrow. Otherwise, just give it and save yourself from having to pay back more the longer you delay. "
Sun Bufa is a loan shark in Kyoto, and he also cooperates with gambling houses. Some gamblers who are red-eyed after losing a bet want to win back one game, so they borrow loan sharks, borrow and gamble again, and lose again after gambling. Borrow again, a vicious cycle.
In the end, profit and profit are a bottomless pit, which will cause you to lose everything and lose all your money.
Wei Cheng glanced at Cui Qingping, who was being pinched and crying, and felt funny: "Are you wrong? It is illegal for you to lend money to such an older child. How about we go together? Shuntian Mansion Review?"
The anger on Sun Bufa's face also spread.
He was also smiling. Since he could come, he was fully prepared: "Master Wei, no one said that the child borrowed money. It was obviously the child's father who borrowed the money! Look..."
Sun Bufa unfolded the IOUs, one by one, each with a large amount of two or three thousand, and a small amount of two or three hundred. The seal on the back of each IOU was...
Cui Yunfeng?
"It's money borrowed by Cui Yunfeng, money taken by this child." Sun Bufa chuckled and stuffed the IOU into his arms again: "Isn't it illegal?"
Wei Cheng frowned: "Then you go to Cui Yunfeng to pay back the money."
"Aren't you here to come? I heard that Cui Yunfeng is your cousin. Mr. Wei, please call your cousin out?"
Wei Cheng angrily shook his sleeves and was about to leave.
Behind him, Sun Bufa shouted: "Master Wei, I'll wait for you at the door. If you don't come out, I won't be able to spread the word..."
Wei Cheng was so angry that he almost tripped over the threshold.
While Wan Lan was happy that her third son was back, she also heard that Cui Qingping had borrowed 30,000 taels from a loan shark at a high interest rate, and now a creditor was coming to ask for money. She almost fainted.
"This bastard, he, he..."
Aunt Gui quickly supported the person: "Old madam, are you okay?"
"He, why did he borrow so much money?" Wan Lan's chest rose and fell, and she almost died of anger: "What did you find out last time?"
Aunt Gui quickly explained: "The people who were sent saw him going to the medical clinic to buy supplements for Master Cui, so they thought..."
He thought Cui Qingping asked for money so that Cui Yunfeng could take care of himself.
Wan Lan still remembers it.
So she said at that time, "Although this child is naughty, he is filial. Let him be."
Who knew that Cui Qingping didn't come to her to ask for money, but instead borrowed money from usury, and borrowing money from usury was used for gambling.
"The place where he often goes to gamble is called Sikong Gambling House." Wei Cheng came in with a livid face.
"Sikong Gambling House?" Wan Lan screamed: "This kind of gambling house actually instigates children to gamble. Report it to the official and shut it down!"
Wei Cheng frowned: "Whether it matters or not is the next step. The current matter is how to solve the problem of outsiders asking for money."
Sun Bufa is not an easy person to deal with. If he comes to ask for money openly today, there will definitely be someone to support him.
To whom did most of the thirty-five thousand taels of silver go?
It is definitely a more powerful existence than Duke Wei.
"What to solve? Let Cui Yunfeng pay off his son's debt." Wan Lan shouted.
Acropolis laughed in anger.
His mother, sometimes she really has no brains in what she says. She has only appearance and no brains.
But now that I am getting older, a vase has become an old vase.
Wei Cheng pointed at his head and sneered: "Mother, mother, can you think through your thoughts before you do something or speak.
You rescued Cui Qingping. People outside have long regarded him as one with us. If Cui Qingping can't pay back the money, do you think Sun Bufa and the others will let us go? "
"But what does it have to do with us? It's the money he owes!"
"If you don't pay it back, there will definitely be a note on the emperor's desk tomorrow about impeaching my eldest brother for his unfavorable stewardship and allowing people in the palace to gamble and borrow money at usury. Do you think it is money that is more important, or your eldest brother's reputation, or the reputation of the Duke's palace?"
Wan Lan stopped talking.
"Pay it back." Wei Cheng was angry at the door at first, but when he walked outside to Wan Lan, he also figured out that Sun Bufa didn't make a big deal, and this matter can still be suppressed.
"I have no money." Wan Lan said immediately: "How about..."
"Don't try to take advantage of the public. Besides, we can't just come up with 35,000 taels of silver at once." Wei Cheng had a weird mind and thought a lot: "Sell your jewelry and valuables in batches." Next time I return, I will go to Sun Bufa and ask for some grace."
His eyes glanced at Duobao Pavilion behind Wan Lan.
There are a lot of priceless treasures up there, so it's not difficult to get thirty-five thousand taels of silver together.
"Why, why do you want me to come out!" Wan Lan was shocked by her third son, but she still refused to give in.
It's not like she asked Cui Qingping to gamble.
Wei Cheng smiled again, turned around and looked back at Wan Lan: "Mother, mother, you have forgotten again that you rescued Cui Qingping and Cui Yunfeng. Whatever happens to them is your business! With Duke Wei, It doesn’t matter at all!”
Wan Lan sat down in the chair and looked at the treasure she had been searching for for so many years in the Duke's Mansion with distress.
Thirty-five thousand taels, how much would it cost?
Wan Lan's heart felt like bleeding when she took one out. He rushed to the room where Cui Yunfeng was still lying down and cursed Cui Yunfeng.
Cui Yunfeng didn't dare to fart.
Now the son can only rely on his aunt to save him. Even if he is angry, he cannot show it.
After three days of scraping together, Wan Lan sold a few pieces of jewelry and a dozen ornaments from Duobao Pavilion, and finally managed to collect thirty-five thousand taels.
Cui Qingping came back the same day he returned Sun Dafa.
Wei Cheng gave the person to Wan Lan, "Mom, take good care of it. Don't let all the family property be ruined by an outsider who knows how many generations ago."
Wan Lan rushed over, grabbed Cui Qingping, and slapped him away.
