Chapter 451: Be on Guard Against Others
"Young Madam, do you think the head of Baixin Pavilion will really lend us his troops in Nanshao Kingdom?"
Xu Ping'an always felt that the other party was not so easy to talk to, so it would be better for him to be more careful to avoid being cheated.
After all, Baixin Pavilion's style of doing things is really hard to follow.
"Yes." Lin Mo answered confidently, and at the same time, the corners of her mouth curled up:
"But I won't be that kind. Anyway, we should always be on guard against others.
As for Old Xu, he knows what to do without me telling him."
Some things are true and false, and what should be believed and what should not be believed. Old Xu knows it clearly.
Xu Ping'an nodded.
"By the way, Madam, after City Lord Han lets you out of danger, go find him immediately. I think the messenger seems very anxious. I'm afraid something has happened in Mo City."
Lin Mo looked back and then strode forward:
"Let's go back to Mocheng."
…
When Mo Qi came in, Mo Beisang was waving a knife in the yard, and wherever the knife passed, there was a gust of wind.
He didn't say anything and just stood aside.
After Mo Beisang put away his knife, he stepped forward and handed a piece of white cloth to Mo Beisang.
"how?"
Mo Beisang asked while wiping the sweat off his face.
"City Lord Han has already started counting people and seems to be preparing to take action." Mo Qi said respectfully.
Mo Beisang nodded, a hint of sarcasm on his face, "After all, I can't bear to part with my own son.
It's worth keeping him here for so many years."
Mo Qi agreed, “With his wife as a precedent, he naturally wouldn’t dare to say no.
But boss, something is strange today."
"What's strange?" Mo Beisang threw the white cloth in his hand aside, then picked up the knife beside him and wiped it gently.
Knife is still useful.
If used to the extreme, it can even split mountains and rocks.
"At this time in the past, there would be news coming from the mountain, but there has been no news so far today. Could something have happened on the mountain?" Mo Qi's face was filled with worry.
After all, this situation is rare.
Mo Beisang shook his head, "There's nothing to worry about. Without Xu Wuyan here, who do you think can do anything to them?
Besides, they have things to do today, so it's normal for the news to arrive a little late."
Having said this, he put the knife into the scabbard beside him and looked up:
"What we need to worry about now is how City Lord Han will deal with the people from the Xu family."
Mo Beisang's face was grim at this moment.
Xu Wuyan's absence is the best opportunity to devour everything in the Xu family. If you miss it, you may not have this opportunity again.
Xu Wuyan is not an ordinary person. He is brave and resourceful. If you go against him, you will only suffer losses.
As long as he swallowed up the Xu family's power, it would be useless for him to rush back because the outcome was already decided.
Mo Qi nodded, "By the way, boss, I also received a message.
I heard that Zhang Liming and his son were detained in Yuancheng, and the Xu family sent a letter to the Zhang family, demanding that they pay another 100,000 taels of silver as compensation before releasing them.
Zhang Liming's wife is currently running around raising money; this is the perfect time to take over the Zhang family's assets."
"Is this news true?" Mo Beisang touched his chin with a malicious look on his face.
"It's absolutely true. The Zhang family received the letter last night." Mo Qi paused.
"When I came over just now, that old man Li Xianlie was rushing out. I received news that he had an appointment with Mrs. Zhang Liming."
Mo Beisang sneered.
I asked Li Xianlie, this old guy, to destroy the Zhang family's business, but I didn't expect that he would take advantage of the situation to rob them.
This is probably because he has selfish motives and wants to buy property for himself.
interesting!
It seems that this old man Li Xianlie has rebellious intentions.
"Let's go and watch the fun!" Mo Beisang turned around with a cold expression and walked towards the door.
"And see if I can find anything I can find."
…
Teahouse.
Zhang Liming's wife, Sun Meilan, stood at the door of the teahouse's private room, looking at Li Xianlie with a frown:
"Didn't you ask me to meet you just to lend me money?
Boss Li, you know, my master is in prison now and urgently needs money to save his life.
As long as you lend me the money, I will return it to you immediately when my master comes back.
In addition, you can rest assured that my Zhang family will never take advantage of you.
The interest rate will be calculated based on borrowing from a bank. No, I'll give you a higher rate. What do you think?"
"No hurry!" Li Xianlie kept smiling. He took a clean teacup, poured tea into it, and pushed it towards Sun Meilan.
"Mrs. Zhang, please sit down and have a cup of tea."
Sun Meilan frowned even more tightly. She didn't understand what Li Xianlie was up to.
She was originally trying to raise money everywhere, but Li Xianlie sent someone to find her and said that he had something to discuss with her.
She didn't want to come at first, but people had to bow to reality, so she came.
But when I arrived, he didn't rush to tell me the purpose of his visit, and acted as if he just wanted to have tea and chat with me.
Sun Meilan took a look at the tea in front of her, walked over and sat down, but did not touch the tea.
Li Xianlie is a man who will use any means to do business. Who knows if he will drug you, so it's better to be careful.
Once she sat down, Sun Meilan no longer concealed her anxiety, her face filled with anxiety:
"Boss Li, I'm not in the mood to have tea with you right now.
If you can't lend me the money, then I'll leave first. I don't have time to waste here. My master is still waiting for me to lend him money to save him."
After saying that, she was about to get up and leave.
"Madam Zhang, you are just too impatient." Li Xianlie shook his head:
"I didn't say I wouldn't lend you the money."
But I didn't say I would lend you money.
Li Xianlie did not say the last sentence.
Sun Meilan finally stopped, and her frown relaxed a little:
"So Boss Li wants to lend me money?
Don't worry, I will pay you the full interest and will never let you suffer any loss."
Li Xianlie smiled, picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly with a lazy look on his face.
After a while, he put down the teacup and looked up at Sun Meilan:
"From a business perspective, asking to borrow eighty thousand taels right away is no small sum.
What if I lend you money and you don’t pay it back?
Or what if you can’t afford it?”
Sun Meilan was stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lips and said, "Then what do you say we should do?
My Zhang family has such a big business here, how could we not be able to pay it back?
If I hadn't withdrawn 100,000 yuan of working capital a few days ago, and didn't have that much working capital to withdraw right now, I wouldn't have to borrow money.
Don't worry, I will definitely pay back the 80,000 taels.
If you don’t believe me, I can write you an IOU.”
Li Xianlie smiled and leaned back on the stool, "If you want to borrow money, you must write an IOU.
In addition, collateral is required.
You can mortgage all of the Zhang family's shops and businesses to me, and then I will feel comfortable lending you the money."
As he said this, a murderous look flashed in Li Xianlie's eyes.
As long as this contract is signed and Sun Meilan dies, he can get all the Zhang family's property without spending a penny.
Sun Meilan's face darkened.
Then he stood up with a sneer and said, "I see you don't even want to lend me money. If that's the case, there's no need for me to waste my time here."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
joke.
The total value of all the Zhang family's assets exceeded 300,000 taels. He actually wanted him to mortgage everything to him for 80,000 taels. It was really a fantasy.
Li Xianlie was not angry either, he slowly picked up the teacup:
"When you walk out of this door, I can tell you that no one will lend you any money, not a penny.
The bank won't lend you money unless you ask for it at high interest rates."
Sun Meilan turned around suddenly and looked at him with disgust, "Are you threatening me?"
"Threat is too harsh a word." Li Xianlie shook his head.
"I just don't do business without capital. If you lend me money without mortgaging something with a value greater than the value, who would feel at ease?
Also, how much is the Zhang family’s shop worth?
I can only lend you 80,000 taels by using these as collateral. In the end, I am the one who is at a loss.
I use this 80,000 taels to do business. I don’t know how much money I can make in a day. After all, interest compounds interest, right?
You said that if you couldn't pay me back, I would suffer a huge loss."
Sun Meilan was so angry at his shamelessness that she laughed. "Then I really won't lend it. Zhang Liming is dead, so he's dead. I don't think he would blame me. After all, he couldn't bear to part with the Zhang family's money. He always said that his money would be passed on to his descendants."
Li Xianlie was stunned. He never expected Sun Meilan to say that, but he didn't believe what she said.
Which woman would not save her man?
Especially for women like Sun Meilan who always stay in the backyard, their men are their heaven. Who would give up their heaven?
Li Xianlie smiled and shook his head, "I don't believe you can be so cruel.
Sun Meilan, are you willing to watch Zhang Liming die?"
Sun Meilan was about to speak, but someone spoke before her.
"Li Xianlie, you are so inhumane that you actually used this to threaten Madam Zhang. Do you think you are still human?
Do you think that by taking advantage of Madam Zhang's weakness, you can do whatever you want?"
Mo Beisang walked in from outside.
Seeing Mo Beisang, Sun Meilan and Li Xianlie both looked unhappy.
Li Xianlie was unhappy that his good thing was interrupted, while Sun Meilan had hatred hidden in her eyes.
"Boss Mo, why are you here?" Li Xianlie stood up with a gloomy face.
Damn it, I had clearly told Mo Beisang about it, but I didn’t expect that he still got the message. Mo Beisang must have had bad intentions this time.
Mo Beisang smiled and shook his head:
"Boss Li, of course you don't want me to come. You're afraid I'll ruin your plans, right?"
As he spoke, Mo Beisang became more gloomy.
Li Xianlie was startled, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he quickly shook his head, "It's not true, you misunderstood.
What good can come from me? Nothing!"
