Chapter 230 Evil Face

"No, no, I have really seen that account book."

"What about the ledger? Where is it now?"

Du Jingxian has already disappeared, so the so-called personal ledger will naturally not appear. Even if it does, Shang Sanlang is not afraid.

Anyway, Shang Ji is behind him. With him here, all the money invested can be withdrawn, let alone crossing out the name on the account book.

So he is not vain at all.

Seeing this scene, Shangshu Jin also knew that if his son continued to bite and angered the merchants, the problems they would face would become even more serious.

So, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to give his son a kick, which turned his face purple. It was obviously a very cruel attack.

Then he turned around, bowed to Shang Ji and said.

"This ignorant boy seems to have been deceived by Du Jingxian, so he thought that the Duke's Mansion was also involved. Since Sanlang has spoken, I naturally believe him, so I asked General Shang to make a trip. I will apologize to you two for wasting your energy and time on such a trivial matter. I will entertain General Shang and Sanlang at home another day."

The Minister of Jin is also a second-rank official, so when he said these words, he was willing to take Shang Sanlang along with him, which was simply a huge honor.

So Shang Sanlang hurriedly replied.

"Hey, they were all deceived. I think Lord Shangshu's son must be the same."

His opening gave Jin Shangshu some reminders. Since he couldn't bite the Duke's palace, he naturally couldn't bite Du Jingyi's natal family.

Since it is Du Jingxian who does the work, let him and his grandfather repay it.

Therefore, he narrowed his eyes and spoke mercilessly to the trembling father and son.

"The Du family has nothing to do with you for a long time, and you still dare to deceive me into coming to make trouble. It's simply abominable. I give you three days to repair all the holes, otherwise you won't be blamed for being rude!"

After saying this, he asked his servants to drag away his half-dead son, and he hugged Shang Ji with a fist and said in a dignified manner.

"I didn't know about the separation of the Du family before. I thought... Don't worry, General Shang, I will help clarify the matter."

The clarification from Jin Shangshu's mouth was naturally that this matter had nothing to do with the Du family.

With his statement, people present did not understand that he wanted to remove Du Jingyi's natal family. Otherwise, if the Du family came forward to clarify the matter, outsiders might even say that the Du family was ruthless.

But the victims involved clarified for them, and that was what truly cleared the Du family's grievances.

And him doing this was exactly what Shang Ji wanted.

So, he also gave a rare chuckle, clasped his fists and said to Jin Shangshu.

"In that case, I would like to thank Lord Shangshu for his insight."

Shangshu Jin was holding a breath in his heart and could not let it out at this time. After bowing, he took his son and left the Du family.

The Du family members who had left a room full of people were now hiding from Mr. Du Er and his family.

If the two men really talk about each other, they are somewhat innocent.

But who makes them think about scheming things that don't belong to them on weekdays? Now they have suffered such a big hole. They really have to empty out their family wealth, and it is impossible to make up for this hole.

The other clan members spoke coldly and looked at him with disdain.

And this attitude became more and more frustrating in the eyes of Mr. Du.

The people in the second room are in trouble today. What if they are the ones in trouble in the future? Do these people also have the same face?

All of a sudden, I felt that this so-called booming population was a joke. It was not as good as an ordinary family of a few people, innocent and united.

So he waved his hand and said.

"Okay, since this matter has nothing to do with you, there's no need to add insult to injury here. Let's all go back."

Master Du had obviously issued an order to expel the guests, and although the relatives were a little dissatisfied, they never dared to disobey, so they left one by one, cursing.

When everyone was almost gone, Master Du Er and Master Du started crying with runny noses and tears.

"Brother, please save Jingxian. What compensation should I give you for 300,000 taels?"

"Yes, boss, you can't watch your second uncle lose even the coffin."

After hearing what they said, Mrs. Du sneered and said.

"How long has it been? Second uncle still has such a plan? Isn't it because of your direct grandson that you lost the cost of the coffin? In the past, you were shouting about how to seek a future for your grandson. What, now? Are you reluctant to take three taels of silver?"

"Is that three taels? That's 300,000 taels. Even if our entire family's fortune is sold, it wouldn't be worth 300,000 taels."

"That's because of my uncle's incompetence. Over the years, the things you have collected from us overtly and covertly, including shops, fields, and houses, add up to at least a million taels. What happened? So quickly. Just failed?"

Mrs. Du has always been merciless in her speech. Unlike those members of the Du family, she is not trying to add insult to injury, but is really stepping on the second wife to avenge the resentments she has harbored over the years.

Therefore, Mr. Du understood what his wife meant, so he let her vent her anger without saying a word.

Mr. Du Er was already very old, so he almost threw his head away when he was scolded in such a few words, and he patted his chest desperately to catch his breath.

Fourth Master Du still thought that they were in the same situation as before, and he wanted to speak while holding his neck.

But he was interrupted by Du Jingyi's light voice.

"Cousin Jingxian can't be found either. If the second great-uncle is gone, the fourth uncle will be left alone."

When she spoke, the second master Du rolled his eyes and fainted.

The fourth master Du was also so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He wanted to go forward and tear Du Jingyi's mouth.

But Shang Ji, who was sitting next to him, was like a Yama. Although he didn't have any evil face, the aura he exuded made the fourth master Du have to endure it.

The Du family couple didn't want their daughter to get involved, so they took the initiative to take the blame and said.

"Okay, fourth brother, don't stare at Jingyi like this. If you have any problems, come to us. The Jin family has given a deadline. The money must be collected within three days, otherwise it's not just Jingxian who will disappear."

The words of the old master Du hit the nail on the head, and the string in the heart of the fourth master Du snapped, and tears fell in big drops. At this moment, he felt much more sincere.

"Then...what can I do? I really didn't lie to you. You want me to come up with 300,000 taels of silver within three days. I can't even sell my property."

Mr. Du Si seemed to collapse, and was filled with despair.
