Chapter 126
Chapter 126 Being Trapped
On the second day after Qiu Yanfu saw her off, Qiu Lilong ran to see Wu with a sad face.
Hearing the servant girl's reply, Mrs. Wu said, "Tell Young Master Biao that I'm not feeling well, and I'm not fit to see guests." Qiu Yanfu had already humiliated her, and now she regards the people of the Qiu family as a scourge, and she doesn't want to touch her at all.
Qiu Lilong heard that Wu Shi didn't want to see him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go looking for Han Jingyan. Now, only this uncle can save him.
Qiu Lilong's personal servant said: "Young master, the third master has gone to the yamen and is not in the mansion. We can't go to the yamen to look for it?"
Qiu Lilong gritted his teeth and said, "Then go to the yamen to look for it."
When Han Jingyan heard that someone was looking for him in the yamen, it was his nephew looking for him, he thought of Qiu Lilong, and his expression was not very good-looking. If it was before, he definitely wouldn't mind, but with the matter of Qiu Yanfu, he hated the Qiu family extremely.
When Qiu Lilong saw Han Jingyan, he was quite stable. But when the two of them walked to the nearby teahouse, Qiu Lilong cried and begged: "Uncle, you must save me, if you don't save me, I will die."
Disgust flashed in Han Jingyan's eyes, and he said coldly, "What's going on?"
The matter is very simple, that is, Qiu Lilong was tricked by Wang Dashao. The two had negotiated a deal before. In order to achieve the goal, he not only took out the more than 100,000 yuan he brought, but also went to the bank to borrow 50,000 yuan in usury. But today Young Master Wang turned his back on him, saying that he would cancel the transaction, and he would not get back any of the money invested.
Han Jingyan, who is in the officialdom, is wrong at first glance: "What deal do you have with Wang Shaoqi?"
Qiu Lilong started to hesitate, and when he saw Han Jingyan was about to go out, he became anxious: "Master Wang said that he can get Yanyin for me." Yanyin is a lucrative business. If they could get Yanyin, their Qiu family would become the richest man in Hebei in less than three years. It was this kind of temptation that made Qiu Lilong lose his composure.
Han Jingyan looked at Qiu Lilong coldly, and asked, "How much money did Young Master Wang promise to give you?"
Qiu Lilong felt guilty after being stared at by Han Jingyan, so he bit the bullet and whispered: "500,000." This amount is not particularly large, but it is not small either.
Han Jingyan laughed: "Didn't you think you'd be here today after you spent so much money?" Selling salt is a huge profit, and you can't get a job without a strong background. But this guy is so swayed by interests that he even wants to get a share of the pie.
Seeing this smile, Qiu Lilong panicked: "Uncle, if I don't pay back the money, the people in the bank will beat me to death. Uncle, you can't do nothing!" He only had this one school in the capital As for the relatives, the only ones who can be counted on are Han Jingyan and the Wu family.
Han Jingyan frowned and said, "I'll talk about it after I'm on business. You go back and wait." If this matter is left alone, it would be ugly if Qiu Lilong really died in the capital.
Qiu Lilong couldn't see Han Jingyan's evasion, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle, please lend me the money first, and when I return to Hebei, I will ask someone to return the money immediately. Uncle, I beg you .In the capital, I am only your relative. If you don't help me, I will die in the capital." Today, two vicious debt collectors stopped him and asked him to pay back the money. He beat him up when he heard that he had no money, and said that if he didn't pay back the money within three days, he took off one of his arms, and if he didn't pay back the money within ten days, he was thrown into the moat.
Qiu Lilong is very afraid of death, life is so beautiful, he has not had time to enjoy it, how could he be willing to die! But if Han Jingyan let go, he really has only one dead end.
Han Jingyan still said the same thing: "I will give you an answer after discussing this matter with your aunt after I leave the business." After finishing speaking, he went back to the yamen.
Qiu Lilong returned to the Duke's Mansion, and wanted to see Mrs. Wu,
But Mrs. Wu didn't want to see him, so he could only worry in his room.
No matter how long Yuxi's hands are, she still doesn't have the ability to reach out to the front yard. But Yuchen was much stronger than her, and soon someone told her about Qiu Lilong's strangeness.
Yuchen sneered and said: "Things that are not greedy." Yanyin is so easy to get, don't take the porcelain work without diamonds.
Nanny Gui said: "Girl, this Qiu Lilong went to find the master, do you think the master will come forward to find Wang's family?"
Yuchen shook his head and said, "No." Qiu's family is just a merchant, and his father can't sell this face for Qiu Lilong.
After hearing this, Nanny Gui didn't say anything more.
In the evening, Han Jingyan went back to the Duke's Mansion to find the Wu family directly, and told the Wu family about Qiu Lilong.
Wu Shi really gritted his teeth with hatred for this meeting, and they all came to humiliate her one by one. She shouldn't have asked Qiu Yanfu to come to the capital in the first place: "Master, what do you think we should do with this matter?"
Han Jingyan's solution was very simple. They came forward to help Qiu Lilong pay off the usury loan, and then asked him to go back and get the money to pay off the debt. Han Jingyan is not worried that the Qiu family will renege on their debts.
It's not that Han Jingyan can't go to Wang Shaoqi to get back the money he invested earlier, even if he can't get back half of it, he can always get it. Because of the matter of Yanyin, it was obviously a trap, but Qiu Lilong was confused by the huge benefits. It's just that as Yuchen expected, Han Jingyan didn't want to come forward because he felt ashamed. In addition, this matter does not benefit him at all, and he is unwilling to sell this favor.
Mrs. Wu shook his head and said, "Master, where are we going to collect so much money?"
Han Jingyan had already made up his mind: "As much as you can make up, go to the bank to borrow if you don't have enough." The borrowing Han Jingyan said was not a usury loan, but a normal loan. Of course, the person who borrowed money could not be him.
Wu Shi actually wanted to let go of it, but Han Jingyan left this matter to her, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to: "Then let's get together."
Han Jingyan was quite generous: "I'll send 15,000 taels of silver later." It meant that the Wu family could make up as much as they could, and if it wasn't enough, they would go to the bank to borrow it. As for the interest, it was naturally paid by the Qiu family.
With Han Jingyan's 15,000 taels, Qiu Shi himself took out 10,000 taels, made up 25,000 taels, and there was still a shortfall of 45,000 taels, and the extra 10,000 taels were interest.
The next day, Wu took Qiu Lilong to the bank to borrow money. Wu is the third wife of the Duke's Mansion, and the people in the bank are not worried that she has no money to pay back. So with the Wu family as a guarantee, the loan went smoothly.
After Qiu Lilong got the money, he paid off the usury loan. Regardless of the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, he left the capital directly with the servant. As for whether he returned to Hebei despite the wind and snow, that's unknown.
After Qiu Lilong left, this incident also broke out. After hearing this, Qiu said bitterly: "It deserves it." The Qiu family doesn't have a good thing, the more unlucky the better!
But Mother Li felt something was wrong: "Ma'am, why did the eldest young master of the Wang family go to trick that Qiu Lilong? Is there some kind of conspiracy involved?"
Qiu thinks the matter is very simple: "Maybe he is too flamboyant, people can't see him, and he wants to teach him a lesson. If it weren't for the signboard of the Duke's Mansion, the corpse would be gone. Anyway, it's good to leave , so as not to be an eyesore." For the past two days, she was still thinking about finding an excuse to drive Qiu Lilong out. Well, this time he didn't need to make excuses and he went away.
The only one who knows the truth is probably Yu Xi. Hearing the news that Qiu Lilong had left, Yuxi smiled, this method is neither good nor bad.
Zi Su said: "I thought the third girl would make this Qiu Lilong suffer from flesh and blood!"
Yuxi said: "The Qiu family is a wealthy family in Hebei, but I guess the family wealth is two hundred and thirty thousand taels, which is already top-notch. This one hundred and seventy thousand taels of silver will definitely hurt the bones." It hurt the muscles and bones, but it didn't harm the interests of Sanfang.
What happened to Qiu Lilong was like a pebble falling into the water, but it caused a small splash and soon submerged.
The time for Han Jianye's big wedding is getting closer and closer, and it's the big wedding and the Chinese New Year, and the Duke's Mansion is getting busier and busier. Qiu simply asked Ye to prepare for the New Year, while she called Shang Yuxi to take care of Han Jianye's wedding.
Looking at the busy Qiu family, Yu Xi was very relieved. In the previous life, when the second elder brother married Qiu Yanfu, the wedding ceremony was deserted, and only a few close relatives were invited to have drinks symbolically. During the whole wedding process, my aunt had a mournful face, people who didn't know thought it was a funeral! But now it's different, this time the second elder brother got married, the mansion was full of lights and festoons, and the invitations were placed a month ago, and all relatives and friends invited them. My aunt has been busy for more than two months. Although her eyes look tired, she always has a smile on her face.
Qiu felt that Yu Xi was looking at her, and asked with a smile: "Why, is there something dirty on my face?" She was exhausted during this time. But thinking that the younger son got married and would become a real adult in the future, she was still very relieved. Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Xiu passed the door. She will be able to hold her grandson soon. Ever since Mrs. Ye entered the house, she had been looking forward to her grandson, and now she still doesn't know where her grandson is, so how can she keep her from getting angry. Fortunately, the youngest daughter-in-law came in immediately, and the grandson was right in front of him.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Auntie, you look very tired, you should take a rest, don't be tired!" Weddings have a fixed process, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready. For the remaining few days, the main thing is to check and make up for any mistakes.
Qiu shook her head and said, "I'm not tired." Qiu felt that she had endless energy!
Just as he was talking, Mother Fang brought a bowl of ginseng tea. Qiu Shi took it, drank a cup of ginseng tea in a few sips, and then hurriedly opened it again.
Fang's mother whispered to Yuxi: "Girl, you don't need to persuade Madam. I have persuaded you many times, but it is useless. The second master is married, and Madam is happy, so let her be busy!" Anyway, no matter how busy you are, it will only be these few days. God, when the second master gets married, the wife will be able to rest for a few days. After the new year, let it go completely.
After hearing this, Yuxi smiled, and stopped persuading her, but stepped forward to help.
