Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

At the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Deng Fang Cao Gui, who had just joined Tang Mo's staff today, stood straight and saluted when he saw Tang Mo, "Second Young Master, the travel arrangements have been completed."

"You are..."

Tang Mo said that he had no intention of letting the two go together.

Deng Fang said: "From today on, the two of us will be the second young master's guards, and we will protect the second young master's safety."

In this way, Tang Mo became more and more certain that the two people were here to monitor him, but since they were here, he dared to use them, and it depended on who had the better move.

"Then let's go."

The weather is nice today. It drizzled last night, wetting the dust on the ground. The air is cooler than usual, but the wind has an indescribable sharpness.

With two more respectable and impressive guards, Tang Mo looked even more impressive when he went out.

The carriage reached the street where the Liao family lived. After driving for a while, a voice came from outside the curtain, saying that there were a lot of soldiers in the box.

Tang Mo opened the curtain and saw many soldiers standing or sitting, all heading in the direction of the Liao family.

Xin An also saw it, "Are you here to cause trouble?"

Tang Mo shook his head. The carriage soon arrived at the gate of Liao's family, but found that the gate was closed. Several soldiers in armor stood at the door with spears in their hands. Lai Lai stepped forward to explain his purpose, and soon someone went in from the side door to report.

"Please wait for a moment, Mr. Tang."

Through the opened curtain, one can clearly see the scene at the gate of the Liao family. The Liao family is prosperous, so the mansion is naturally not small. After several generations of management, the main gate of the Liao family is also wide and majestic. There are many soldiers sitting under the majestic steps, and there are even a few large pots made of bricks and stones next to them. The surroundings are blackened, and it is obvious that something has been cooked in them.

Looking at those soldiers, none of them were young, and their clothes were either torn or patched up, and you could tell at a glance that they were not living well.

"What's happening here?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, a squatting man tried to step forward, but before he could say anything, he was driven back by a soldier holding a spear. The guarding soldier said, "They were all the old man's subordinates before. They offended the Second Young Master. Please forgive them."

This short sentence can make people guess roughly that a new emperor appoints new ministers. The old man of Liao family died suddenly, and his subordinates were probably leaderless. Liao Zhi became the head of the family, and he might not have accepted these people. These people could only come to Liao family to ask for explanation.

Tang Mo turned his head and glanced at Deng Fang and Cao Gui. The two did not look very happy at the moment. They also followed the old marquis. Fortunately, the old marquis had arranged a way out for them before he passed away. Although the current marquis was not bad to them, they could gradually feel his impatience.

Without wars and sudden accidents, these people would be useless. However, due to government orders, they cannot leave their masters and can only be trapped here.

Someone soon came out of the side door. He looked like a steward. He trotted over and bowed in front of the carriage, "Greetings to Mr. Tang and his wife."

"The master is waiting for you two in the yard."

Tang Mo got off the carriage, turned around and helped Xin An down, "Lead the way."

This was the first time in Xin An's two lifetimes that he had stepped into the gate of the Liao family. As soon as he entered, he felt an indescribable sense of crowding. The mansion looked quite large, perhaps because there were too many servants and soldiers walking around.

After walking around for a while, the couple finally saw Liao Zhi. At this time, Liao Zhi and Mrs. Liao were talking. There were several account books on the table beside them. The maid serving them also held a book in her hand. Xin An glanced at Tang Mo and it seemed that he came at the wrong time today.

Something happened to the Liao family today, and I'm afraid it was sudden.

"Second Young Master Tang and Second Young Master's wife are here?"

Mrs. Liao put down the booklet and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality."

Tang Mo bowed, "I don't know if there is something going on in the mansion today. It's just that my husband and I came at an unfortunate time. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help."

Liao Zhi invited the two to sit down. "It was originally me who invited you today, but something tricky happened and I forgot to send someone to inform you. I'm afraid I'm sorry for what I did today."

"That's not right, Commander. Most of the time, the unexpected happens. When I came here, I saw a lot of soldiers at the door. I heard that they were the soldiers under Mr. Liao's command. Are they here to ask for an explanation today?"

Tang Mo thought that if Liao Zhi got into trouble and he could help, today's trip would be well worth it.

Liao Zhi didn't say it explicitly, but he tacitly agreed to it. Mrs. Liao thought about it for a while and then spoke to Xin An, "There is nothing to hide about this matter. Those people were the soldiers in the mansion before, but now we don't need so many people, so we can only ask them to return home. But they have worked hard for many years, and we can't just send them away like this."

"Second Young Master Madam, I want to ask you for help with something."

The account book on the table has already explained a lot of problems. Xin An asked: "Mrs. Liao, are you short of money?"

The other party nodded and said, "It's true that I've been spending too much money recently and I can't make ends meet for the time being. I want to borrow 10,000 taels of silver from the Second Young Master's wife. I need it today. Is it convenient?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you the interest according to the market price."

Why not look for Tang Mo?

Mrs. Liao, who was also a merchant's daughter, guessed that Tang Mo and Liao Zhi were similar in appearance, not poor but not rich either.

Xin An said with a smile: "What's the point of talking about interest? It's common for businesses to trade with each other."

For her and Tang Mo, lending 10,000 taels could bring the two families closer together, so why not do it?

She turned her head to Tang Mo and said, "Then I'll trouble you to go back and get 10,000 taels of silver from the bank and exchange it for cash, and send it here."

Tang Mo stood up and said to the others, "I'll be back soon."

Liao Zhi nodded and looked at Mrs. Liao with some apology. Mrs. Liao smiled and stood up, "Sister Xin, the front yard is a mess. Let's go to the backyard to talk."

"Will it bother Sister Xu?"

The change in address also changed the relationship between the two. Madam Liao said, "Today's matter can be solved with money. Now that we have money, the rest will be easy. It will not affect our conversation today."

There was no point in asking people to go back after they had been invited here. Mrs. Liao led Xin An out of the door. Liao Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then his eyes gradually became colder. If nothing unexpected happened, something would happen to someone in the Liao family soon.

The backyard of the Liao family seemed quiet and spacious because outsiders were not allowed to enter at will. Fruits, snacks and tea were already placed on a stone table in the yard. "Sister Xin, please sit down."

Mrs. Liao forced a smile and said, "I'm lucky to have Sister Xin's help today, otherwise I would have been in trouble for a long time."

"I'll have someone deliver it to your house as soon as possible."

The two of them were not familiar with each other, but she spoke rashly because she had no choice. Of course, she spoke because she knew that ten thousand taels was out of reach for others, but it was not difficult for Xin An.

After sitting down, Xin An picked up the tea and said with a smile: "It's only ten thousand taels. Sister Xu can send someone to deliver it when it's convenient for you."

Given the wealth of the Xu family in Linzhou, they naturally cannot be short of this little money. And the dowry from the Xu family must be huge. Today they are actually forced to borrow money. This Liao family is probably a bottomless pit.
