As soon as the man finished speaking, many people started talking among themselves.

Those who have borrowed money actually know that Zhao Guogong's government originally issued usury money privately, but when things got serious and they were afraid of being punished by the emperor, they changed their minds and used their own money to help people in need.

Although everyone praised the Duke of Zhao for their kindness, they did not really feel that they were kind in their hearts.

The reason why they praise so much is just to avoid borrowing usury money.

The man said that his third brother didn't know that the loan he borrowed from Zhao Guofu was usury, but he found out later and went to Zhao Guofu to argue.

 It is inevitable that everyone would like to comment on this matter.

Mrs. Tai and Mr. Guo were furious when they saw that their reputation, which they had sacrificed so much money to restore, was about to be ruined by that man.

  But it cannot happen yet.

In order to prove his innocence, Mrs. Guo had no choice but to nod, "You don't believe me when I say I have never harmed your third brother. If I don't let you go into the house to look for me, you might think we have a guilty conscience.

 I can agree to let you go into the house to look for him, but if you don’t find him, you must follow me to see the official. Although our Zhao Guofu is benevolent, we cannot let others frame us at will. Do you agree? "

The man patted his chest and said, "Okay, if my third brother is not found, I will let your Duke Zhao handle it."

Mrs. Guo nodded, "Steward Zhao, take him in and let him take a good look to see if his third brother is in our house."

Ms. Guo sneered in her heart. She couldn't do anything to this man in front of outsiders.

But as long as he entered the mansion, it would be easy. Although she could not kill him, it was easy for Zhao Guofu to take advantage of a pariah.

Butler Zhao stepped forward quickly and wanted to pull the man in.

However, the man said, "Your Duke Zhao's Mansion eats people without spitting out their bones. I have to bring people in, otherwise I'm afraid I will be like my third brother. Once I enter your Zhao Guo's Mansion, I will never get out again."

Ms. Guo's face was gloomy. She didn't expect that the man would bring people in.

If there is an outsider, she can't control him.

But if she didn't agree to him bringing people in, the untouchables would definitely say that she had a guilty conscience.

Mr. Guo was still hesitating, and many people were pointing fingers and talking.

The wife glared at her secretly, and had to stand up and said to the man, "You can bring people in to look for her, but we have women in Duke Zhao's mansion, so we can't let everyone in.

 Well, you pick five people to come in with you. But after entering the house, you are not allowed to wander around at will, so as not to bump into the female family members. I will ask the housekeeper to take you to search, do you agree? "

Those present thought that the man would think that bringing five people was too few, but to their surprise, he immediately nodded in agreement.

After selecting two men and two women, the man suddenly walked up to Ling Chu and knelt down.

He directly took out a banknote and handed it over, "Ling Xiangu, I know that your fortune-telling is effective. I am willing to pay you thirty taels. Please use your fortune-telling skills to help me find my third brother."

Lingchu glanced at the man in surprise. She didn't expect that the man would ask her for help.

【Ding! 】

  【Requested task detected, please host complete it. 】

 As for the business that comes to her, the system has issued a task, so naturally she will not refuse.

Ms. Guo had vaguely heard some rumors about Ling Chu and knew that she sometimes set up a stall in Yu Street to tell fortunes.

Although she didn’t think she had any real abilities, she actually agreed to help the man when they met, and said with a sullen face, “You are from our Zhao Guofu, how can you turn your elbows outward...”

Ling Chu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and interrupted with a sneer, "The Duke's wife is wrong, I am not from your Zhao Guofu. Today, like everyone else, I took an IOU to recover what was previously collected by your Zhao Guofu." money."

Glancing at Mrs. Guo, Ling Chu deliberately shook the IOU in his hand.

 Other people's IOUs were burned, but the one in Ling Chu's hand was still there.

Mrs. Tai didn’t want to cause more trouble, and she didn’t believe that Ling Chu was capable of anything. Although she was dissatisfied, she still let her into the house. Manager Zhao led the people into the house. Mrs. Guo secretly winked at him and motioned for him to lead the people to search in the front yard.

 But the man ignored it and directly asked Ling Chu to tell his fortune.

Since he agreed to the man, Ling Chu took out the copper coins and made a fortune from the turtle shell.

Ms. Guo stared at her with a dark face, but because several other people were also present, she could only hold back her anger.

Ling Chu secretly opened the system.

 There is nothing unusual about the front yard.

 There was nothing found after entering the courtyard for the second and third times.

 But Lingchu discovered from the system that there was Yin Qi in a remote corner.

"Ling Xiangu, have you found anything?" Seeing that she quickly put away the copper coins and turtle shells, the man couldn't wait to ask.

Ling Chu nodded.

 The man felt happy. When the man pointed him to Ling Xiangu, he didn't believe it at first. However, he later inquired with someone and found out that her fortune-telling was quite effective.

The man was happy for a while, but felt uneasy in his heart, "Miss Ling, my third brother...is he still alive?"

Ling Chu glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, come with me to have a look."

 The man's heart sank when he saw that there was no smile on her face.

 Although I was mentally prepared, I still couldn’t help but feel sad.

Lingchu led the people to follow the system's guidance and move forward.

Ms. Guo glanced at their backs and snorted in her heart.

 Zhao Guofu is so big that it is impossible to find him. That **** is just playing tricks.

Worried about their intrusion, Mrs. Guo asked Guo Guo and a dozen young boys to follow her.

The Duke of Zhao's palace was really big, and the Guo family didn't like them, so it was impossible to prepare sedan chairs and chariots for them.

Lingchu could only walk on his legs.

Following the system's guidance, I walked for nearly half an hour before stopping in a remote courtyard.

Ms. Guo didn't take it seriously at first, and just asked the steward and others to watch them. Thinking about it, she still felt uneasy, so she hurried over in a sedan chair.

 Seeing Ling Chu stop in front of the courtyard, Guo's heart tightened.

 Subconsciously, I want to curse when I open my mouth.

The Madam who was also worried and followed her gave her a dissatisfied look and said to Ling Chu first, "Miss Ling, can you take a moment to speak?"

Lingchu's lips curled up, and he took the lead to walk a certain distance before stopping and looking at the madam quietly.

Mrs. Tai’s face was grave, and she looked at Ling Chu with eyes like sharp knives, “Miss Ling, these things today have nothing to do with you, so why do you have to get involved?”

Lingchu said softly, "Madam, I came today just to get back my concubinage documents."

Mrs. Guo was furious in her heart, "This is not up to you. Your mother accepted the gift from our Duke of Zhao and personally promised us to take you as our concubine."

Ling Chu was not annoyed, but instead took out the IOU for the usury money, "The censor should be very interested in this thing. If the things in the dry well are dug out, Dali Temple will not have to worry about running out of work..."

Guo's eyes were spitting fire, "How dare you threaten us..."

Mrs. Tai frowned. Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law could not see the formality clearly at this moment, so she interrupted her directly, "Ms. Guo, give the concubinage document to Miss Ling..."
