The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 473 What is the picture?

Xiao Huaidan sighed a few times before saying: "When I was young, I was often punished by my father to kneel down in the ancestral hall. Once, once, I accidentally opened the secret box in the ancestral hall and saw the imperial decree enshrined inside. I remember the imperial decree It clearly states that the title of Marquis of Guangyang can only be hereditary for three generations. According to this calculation, this is the last generation for Marquis."

Grandma Dan's eyes widened: "No way, doesn't Master Hou know?" Right now, Hou Guangyang is jumping up and down, isn't it just for Xiao Yuntao's position as the eldest son?
Xiao Huaidan laughed contemptuously: "I'm afraid I don't know." At that time, after the second uncle received Chengju's decree, he only cared about serving wine to celebrate, and never paid attention to the details of the original imperial decree. branch.Of course, the eldest cousin would not think about investigating in detail.

"Oh." Second Grandma Dan was thoughtful.

Xiao Huaidan looked at her, frowned slightly, and his expression became serious: "Do you have any plans?" He didn't believe it, she didn't sleep most of the night, she just brought him up to chat about the General's Mansion and The grievances of the Hou family.

Second Grandma Dan shook her head and said, "From Jia Shizi's tone, Master Zhu will not give up easily. It would be great if the Hou's mansion is fine, but the Hou's mansion is not clean. I know that Mrs. Hou is giving us usury, nine percent interest , and even killed someone, if Mr. Zhu finds out, I'm afraid..."

"What." Xiao Huaidan jumped up regardless of the pain in his leg. "Nine interest rate, what you said is true?"

Putting loan sharks is no small matter!

The imperial law clearly stipulates that the interest on lending shall not exceed three cents. Although there are many years, it is only one interest per share; offenders can be whipped forty, and the remaining profits will be used to count the stolen goods. Hundred.Those who profited heavily and stripped the people, those who were officials deprived officials, those who were businessmen confiscated their property, and exiled to Lingnan.

The nine-point interest is definitely a huge profit and expropriation of the people, and also killed people. If there is a trouble, the title of the Hou Mansion will be lost, and I am afraid that he will be punished severely.

Second Grandma Dan gave him a sideways look: "Of course it's true. Although Second Aunt acted prudently, it was my uncle's bank that went in and out of the bank. My uncle heard some rumors and asked my father to bring me a message." , and asked if our family has mixed it."

Xiao Huaidan was dumbfounded: "Crazy, really crazy."

Second Grandma Dan kicked him lightly, and said: "Come on, your Xiao family is not a family of poems, rituals and hairpin tassels, a family of Zhongming Ding Shi, that is, a family of poetry farming. If it weren't for the old uncle who ruled Ningzhou Shui suffers from meritorious deeds and won the title, how can he have the current family background. However, the second uncle and the marquis, except for the title, are empty positions, and there is only a little salary throughout the year. The dowries of the second aunt and sister-in-law are not necessarily rich, and they are not good at In order to support the appearance of the Hou's mansion these years, I'm afraid it's already beyond the means. If you don't give loan usury, where will the money come from? They can't save face and ask for a bride price and marry a merchant girl."

Xiao Huaidan really couldn't sleep now, so he jumped out of bed and walked around the room.He was afraid of disturbing outsiders, so he didn't light the lamp. The black lamp hit the small stool, causing him to grimace in pain.

Second Grandma Dan's expression was stern: "I've thought it through, and I'll bring this up to Sister Ming tomorrow."

Xiao Huaidan rubbed his legs and sat on the edge of the bed, finally relieved the pain, and nodded when he heard the sound: "Well, we have to talk about it, and I will go with you tomorrow morning."

The next day, just after Xiao Mingzhu got up, Xiu'er came in to report that Xiao Huaidan and Second Grandma Dan had sent a message to her early in the morning, saying that they were waiting in the small flower hall and had something important to say to her.

"Girl, I'm afraid it's here." Nanny Shang pointed out.

"Listen to me." Xiao Mingzhu was not in a hurry, she washed up slowly, picked out a set of home clothes, and ate two meat buns before going to Xiaohua Hall.

Entering the door, Xiao Mingzhu saw the darkness under the eyes of Xiao Huaidan and Second Grandma Dan, and couldn't help but chuckle: "It seems that we have to arrange another study for Tangtang Dan, so that Aunt Dan can't sleep peacefully when Tangtang Dan lights up the lamp to read at night."

Second Grandma Dan glanced at her strangely: "Sister Ming, it's really important that my aunt is looking for you."

Xiao Mingzhu sat down on the chair next to Second Grandma Dan, and said slowly, "Then do you want them to retreat?"

"Yes." Xiao Huaidan said first.

Xiao Mingzhu raised her hand indifferently, and Zhichun led the other little girls back, leaving only Nanny Shang.

"This..." Xiao Huaidan was still struggling with where to start, Second Grandma Dan straightened her guts, and she broke the point: "I heard you talking to Jia Shizi in the garden yesterday, so Master Zhu resigned from the relationship and hatred." I went to the Hou's Mansion and wanted to find out about the Hou's Mansion. Hey, the old lady of the Hou's Mansion asked her brother-in-law to release usury money, and it was still a [-]% interest. Not long ago, she forced a family of five to death. If this matter If Mr. Zhu finds out and causes trouble, the prince's seizure of title will become a reality, and he will also be punished."

Xiao Mingzhu shook her hand, and the tea splashed out, but luckily the tea was neither hot nor scalded.She immediately put down the teacup, wiped the tea with a handkerchief, and asked as if nothing had happened: "Then what Uncle Yidan and Aunt Dan mean, how to solve this matter?"

Second Mistress Dan overheard Jia Haoren saying yesterday that Zhu Yong was determined to deal with the Hou Mansion, and she also knew that she cared about the title of the Hou Mansion.Today, I came here to tell her about the deadly secret of the Hou Mansion.

It was inevitable that she would have to guess what their plans were.

If they dared to say that there were no two Xiao families in one sentence, and first helped the Hou Mansion deal with Zhu Yong, and then later went to the Hou Mansion to carefully calculate the accounts of the title seizure that year, then she would not tolerate them staying.

Xiao Huaidan saw the barely concealed disgust on Xiao Mingzhu's face, and sighed heavily: "Sister Ming, although your aunt only heard about it because she was well-versed. But there is nothing wrong in this world. With a ventilated wall, Mr. Zhu may not be able to detect these things when targeting the Hou Mansion. Although Mr. Hou is not the clan leader, he has a close relationship with the clan, and many people in the clan must have followed suit. In my opinion, Explain this to the patriarch and the others, and then turn the passive into the active, and let Hou Ye submit the book to plead guilty."

These words really startled Xiao Mingzhu, "You, what did you say?"

Did she hear correctly, asking Guangyang Hou to submit a plea?What good would it do her!
Besides, what does Uncle Dan think he is? The new patriarch of the Xiao family, the Marquis of Guangyang, does he obey his words?
I'm afraid that once he speaks, he will become the target of public criticism, and he will be eliminated quickly.

Xiao Huaidan stood up: "You heard it right, it's what you thought. In this way, the title of the Marquis Mansion will definitely be lost, and the family will also be hurt. However, the disaster can be minimized. In the future, they will never feel embarrassed about you again, they will only wish you better and use your hands to revive the Xiao family."

Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help becoming vigilant, she knew that what Xiao Huaidan said was true, but, the matter of Xiao's family classics, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a matter of injury.

What is he planning!
