Now that Feng Jin Yuan heard that there was something related to money, his head started to hurt. As soon as the waiter said the word "demand payment for the loan," his mind began to spin. He thought desperately. When did he borrow money from a private bank? And 200 thousand taels at that time? That's not possible! He can't remember!
Feng Jin Yuan felt a strange feeling appear in his heart. The other members of the Feng family were also thinking similar things. Cheng Jun Mei asked him. "Did my husband take this loan?"
The waiter took this. "This time, it's really not the master. The person who came said that the money was borrowed by the old mistress before she died. There's also a document with his fingerprints."
Upon hearing that it was the leader's mother, Feng Jin Yuan sighed in relief. Although he was still nervous about finances, after all, he had managed to keep a face on the matter. He said to the waiter. "Go get that guy."
The waiter was a little awkward and looked around the mourning hall. "This ... doesn't really fit, does it?"
Cheng Jun Man helplessly shook his head and made a decision. "Let's go to the front page!"
The mourning hall was left to be taken care of by the servants, while the master of the Feng mansion went to the front yard. Zi Rui withdrew Feng Yu Heng's hand. "Sister, are we going back to eat or go watch the show?"
Feng Yu Heng said. "Of course, we have to watch the show." After saying this, he was still confused. "How can the old madam borrow this much money? The Feng family did not even have a deed. What did he use as collateral?"
With such a question, their group also went to the front page. Ding Feng Bank is the largest private bank in the capital. It is said that a certain prince was the main shareholder, but it is not clear who it was. After all the guesswork over the years, no one could guess the truth.
The one who came today was a man in his 40s. Wearing a set of blue robes, she looked somewhat graceful, but her eyes revealed that she was a very intelligent person. When this person saw the Feng family come out, he immediately came forward and saluted. First, he cupped his hands together and greeted Feng Jin Yuan and Cheng shi's sister. He then turned around partially and knelt down to shout loudly. "This humble citizen greets county princess Ji An!"
That person stood up and nodded at Feng Yu Heng. Only then did he face Feng Jin Yuan and grab his sleeve, taking out a piece of paper. "Master Feng, this is a contract signed by the old madam of your esteemed manor to borrow money before she dies. At the time, there were three copies made. Both sides took one copy, and the other was sent to government offices. Although the loan period is not over yet, the old madam is dead. According to the rules, this contract had to be immediately paid by the people of the Feng family and the contract was returned."
Feng Jin Yuan frowned and accepted the contract. Sure enough, he saw the number clearly written down. Thumbprints and the leader's mother's personal stamp were also there. He's feeling a little upset. This is a full 200 thousand taels. Why did the matriarch borrow this much money?
At this moment, An shi spoke up, saying. “The second day after the heavy rain stopped, the old madam sent the second and third grandfathers from Feng Tong county away. When they left, this concubine had also sent them away for a while. It seems I have heard that both grandfathers thank the old mistress, thanking her for the money the old mistress gave them to allow them to move the family. At that moment, this concubine thought that the old madam had used her own money to supplement them. Now, it seems..The money is this big?"
Cheng Jun Man immediately ordered the servants. "Look at how much money is left in Shu Ya's courtyard." He then said to Feng Jin Yuan. "What sister An said makes sense. At that time, I also wanted to know why they were sent in such a hurry, but if there was that much money, it would be, it would be no trouble to go elsewhere to settle down once again."
Upon hearing this, Han shi exploded. "No wonder the old man left so happily. It turns out they took our money in huge amounts!" He grabbed Feng Jin Yuan in a panic. "My husband, you have to go after them. They must have threatened the old lady. If the old madam did not give them money, they would refuse to leave. The old madam must be thinking about how the manor is no longer as grand as it once was, and we are in a hurry to move. In a helpless state, he could only borrow some money for them. What kind of thing is this? It's extortion! The poor old mistress was threatened in such a way before she went to borrow money. Just thinking about it made people feel suffocated." As he said this, he moved to wipe away the tears. Unfortunately, there were no tears to look at.
The person who came from the bank could not bear to continue watching and saying. "Master Feng, why did the old madam borrow this money or where this money went, this is all your Feng family business. Please give me the money first . As for the others, please discuss that amongst yourselves!"
Feng Jin Yuan coldly snorted and said something that not even a criminal would say. "Go, ask whoever borrowed this money to return it!" After saying this, he threw the contract in the face of the person who came from the bank waving his hand, "Send the guest out!"
"Wait!" That person shouted loudly and fought free from the followers who started dragging him. He then faced Feng Jin Yuan with an expression of disbelief and said. "Master Feng, how can you say such a thing? Even though you are currently a fifth rank official, you were previously the Prime Minister! As Prime Minister, there is only one person above you and countless below you. Is this something that someone with your status can say? This contract clearly states that the loan term is one year. However, if the borrower dies, the debt will be transferred to his relatives. The government office has a copy. You can't refuse to admit it!"
He first built Feng Jin Yuan with flattery then issued Da Shun laws. This made Feng Jin Yuan completely speechless, but he was also broke. The huge hole that this matriarch had dug, even if she could bear to fill it, she had no dirt!
