But he very quickly thought things through clearly. It was not Feng Jin Yuan who did it. He always had a hidden guard by his side. By simply ordering, it would be strange if everything was not lost.
With regards to the lost banknotes, An shi was extremely resolute. He just ordered his servant Ping'er. "Get on a nice robe and tell the gatekeeper that you will go to the county princess' house to see the third young miss. Then go borrow the train from the second young lady. Go to the government office to file a report. Let's just say we lose our money and ask the governor to go to the bank to cancel the note. Go quickly!"
When Ping'er left the manor, he happened to see the person from the courtyard of sister Cheng shi's mansion. They also boarded the train and went towards the government office. It was only when they met at the government office and the two revealed why they had come that it became clear that the two of them had come to make a report for their employer.
And that afternoon, Feng Jin Yuan quietly left the manor, directly going to some banks in the capital. However, upon arriving, he was informed that the banknote had been cancelled. Other than Han shi's banknotes, he was unable to obtain a single cent.
Feng Jin Yuan was so angry that his tooth root hurt. He understood what "cancel". An shi and Cheng shi's sister, these three women were unwilling to let him succeed. Their ability to destroy it was also incredible.
Carrying Han shi's 1000 taels of silver, he returned to his carriage. The rain was too heavy, and the carriage leaked out slightly, but Feng Jin Yuan still had not returned to the manor. Instead, he went to several pawnshops around the capital.
When he finally returned to the manor, dinner time had already passed. He did not greet anyone and went straight to the study room in his Pine courtyard. Only then did he begin to count the silver he obtained today. Once counted, the number was no more than 1,300 taels.
Jin Zhen's accessories are not worth the money. The hidden guard had received an order to steal a large bracelet from a jewelry box that was well cared for by Jin Zhen. Who knew that the bracelet was something he bought and gave to Jin Zhen, but it was a cheap item he bought by the roadside for under ten taels. However, he had told Jin Zhen that it was an antique, which caused Jin Zhen to treat it as a treasure.
It was the earrings he took from Cheng shi's sister that sold for 300 taels, but this was still too far from the 8000 taels needed to pay the rent each month. He had given Zhang Yuan a fake deed, and this matter would look sooner or later, but there was nothing he could do. He definitely could not let the leader's mother or anyone else find out about the deed. Right now, all he could do was earn as much money as possible as quickly as possible. He needed to think of a way to earn 8000 taels each month to continue renting the current residence of the Feng family. Like that, they won't move. He then only had to exchange the fake deed for the original deed.
Unfortunately, he had absolutely never thought that An shi and Cheng shi's sister, those lowly fellows would actually file a report, canceling the banknote. How can this be good for him?
He was very anxious while sitting in his study. His hidden guardian appeared in front of him, coming up with an idea. "How about we take it from the old lady's side. The old madam had to hide a lot of money. We can take it from there to take care of this urgent situation. When we've dealt with the situation, we can return it."
It was not that Feng Jin Yuan did not think of this method, but... "Even I don't know where he hid the money. How can we do something?"
Feng Jin Yuan pondered a little then nodded, "It's fine. Right now, we don't have a better choice. We can borrow a little for now. Or..." He felt that there was another option, "Think of a way to steal the real thing from A Heng."
As soon as these words came out, the hidden guard immediately shook his head, "No way, no way. Sir, please forgive this subordinate for not being able to. In order to prevent anyone from getting the idea of stealing the method to manufacture steel, the second young miss manor had become like an impenetrable fortress. Not to mention humans, not even wild birds can enter."
This was a point that Feng Jin Yuan naturally understood. He sighed helplessly, "Forget it, look at the old madam's side overnight."
As he said this, the voice of a male servant came with an urgent knock at the door. "Master! Master!"
The hidden guards disappeared, and Feng Jin Yuan hid the money that was on the table. Only then did he say. "Lake in."
The waiter opened the door and wiped some of the rain on his face, hurriedly said. “Master, quickly go to the front page to see it! The governor, Mr. Xu, has brought a group of soldiers here, saying that he came to arrest and bring you to justice."
"What?" Feng Jin Yuan was startled, and he subconsciously moved his hand to the silver pouch under the table. He thought, could this cause a big problem? But he calmed down once more. That's not possible. No matter how much the three women tore apart his shreds, it was only to make him unable to take their money. There is no way anyone will be taken over. But if it's not that, then... His heart suddenly trembled, as he thought that this was not good. Something must have happened with that.
The waiter saw that he was standing on the spot motionless and could not help but rush over. "Master, the old madam and everyone in the manor had already gone to the main hall of the Peony courtyard. You should go and see it!"
Feng Jin Yuan's stomach was filled with bitterness. It seemed like this matter was unavoidable, so he gritted his teeth and went towards the Peony courtyard.
The rain falls more. The pine courtyard was not far from the Peony courtyard, and he was even wearing a robe. However, he was still partially soaked. Feng Jin Yuan thought if the rain continued to fall like this, would they remain in the manor, unable to move?
While thinking, he reached the hall and saw the Peony courtyard hall filled with soldiers. Xu Jing Yuan, who was at the front, was standing there and talking to the matriarch. "This official doesn't want to ruin this friendship. After all, no matter what was said, this was still the family of county mother Princess Ji An. But mister Feng doing something right really shouldn't be done. He shouldn't have used a fake deed to deceive eunuch Zhang. Deceiving eunuch Zhang was the same as deceiving the Emperor. It is a grave crime to deceive the ruler."
