Chapter 154: The Liao family was tricked and Xin An b
Chapter 154 The Liao family was plotted, Xin An borrowed money
At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Cao Gui of Dengfang, who had just arrived under Tang Mo today, stood up straight. When he saw Tang Mo, he saluted, "Second Young Master, the travel arrangements are all ready."
"This is what you are."
Tang Mo said that he had no intention of letting the two of them go together.
Deng Fang said: "From today on, these two humble men will be the bodyguards of the second young master. They should protect the safety of the second young master."
In this way, Tang Mo became more and more certain that the two of them were here to monitor him, but since they were here, he would dare to use them, just to see who was better.
"Then let's go."
The weather is good today, but there was a light rain last night, which wet the dust on the ground. The air is cooler than usual, but the wind is unspeakably sharp.
With two more dignified guards, Tang Mo looked even more impressive when he went out.
The carriage arrived at the street where Liao's family was located. After walking for a while, a voice came from outside the curtain, saying that there were many soldiers in the alley.
Tang Mo opened the curtain and saw many soldiers standing or sitting, all facing the direction of the Liao family.
Xin An also saw it, "Are you here to cause trouble?"
Tang Mo shook his head. The carriage quickly arrived at the gate of Liao's house. However, he saw that the gate of Liao's house was closed. Several soldiers in armor came out and stood at the door with long guns in their hands. They came up to explain their purpose. Soon someone came in from the side door. Report back.
"Second Young Master Tang, please wait a moment."
Through the opened curtain, you can clearly see the scene at the front door of the Liao family. The Liao family is prosperous, so the mansion is naturally not small. Several generations of management have made the front door of the Liao family wide and majestic, but under this majestic step sits There were many soldiers, and there were even a few cauldrons built with bricks and stones nearby. The surroundings were blackened, and it was obvious that something had been cooked.
Looking at those soldiers, they are not even young. The clothes on their bodies are either torn or patched. You can tell at a glance that they are not living well.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a squatting man came forward. Before he could open his mouth, he was pushed back by soldiers holding spears. The guarding soldiers said, "They were all former subordinates of the old man. They collided with the second young master, and also Please forgive me, Second Young Master.”
A short sentence can give people a rough idea. This is the emperor and the courtiers. The old man of the Liao family died suddenly. The people under him are probably leaderless. Liao Zhi became the head of the family, so he may not have accepted these people. These people are just I can come to Liao's house and ask for an explanation.
Tang Mo turned his head and glanced at Deng Fang and Cao Gui. Their expressions were not very good at this time. They also followed the old Marquis. Fortunately, the old Marquis arranged a way out for them before he went. Now the Marquis Although he is not bad towards them, his impatience can be felt day by day.
Without war or sudden accidents, these people would be useless. However, due to government decrees, they could not leave the master's house and could only be trapped here.
Someone came out of the side door soon. He seemed to be a steward. He trotted over and bowed his hands in front of the carriage, "To the Second Young Master Tang and the Second Young Madam."
"The master of the house is waiting for you two in the courtyard."
Tang Mo got off the carriage, turned around and helped Xin An off, "Lead the way."
This was the first time in two lifetimes for Xin An to step into the Liao family's front door. As soon as he entered, he felt an indescribable feeling of crowding. The mansion obviously looked quite big, but perhaps there were too many servants and soldiers during the walk.
After walking around for a while, the couple 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 waiting beside them also held a book in her hand. Xin An looked at it. Tang Mo took a look and it seemed that today was the wrong time.
Something happened to the Liao family today, I'm afraid it was unexpected.
"The Second Young Master Tang and the Second Young Madam are here?" Madam Liao put down the book and said with a smile, "The reception was not good enough."
Tang Mo held up his hands and said, "I don't know if there is something going on at home today. It's just an unlucky time for us husband and wife to come here. I don't know if there is anyone I can help with."
Liao Zhi invited the two of them to sit down, "I originally invited you today, but something troublesome happened, and I forgot to send someone to inform you. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it today."
"Wherever you go, the commander will most likely encounter something unexpected. When I came here, I saw a lot of soldiers at the door. I heard they were the soldiers in the hands of Mr. Liao earlier. Are you here today to ask for an explanation?"
Tang Mo thought to himself that if Liao Zhi was in trouble and he could help, today's trip would be worth it.
Liao Zhi did not say it clearly, but acquiesced to the matter. After a moment of thought, Mrs. Liao said to Xin An, "There is nothing to hide about this matter. Those people were the soldiers of the original government, but they are not needed now." People can only ask them to return to their hometowns, but they have worked hard for many years and cannot be dismissed just like that. "
"Second Young Madam, I have something to ask you for help."
The account books on the table already explained a lot of problems. Xin An asked: "Mrs. Liao doesn't have enough money to spare?"
The other party nodded, "I've really spent too much money recently, and I can't make enough money for a while. I want to borrow 10,000 taels of cash from the Second Young Madam. I need it today. Is it convenient?"
"Don't worry, I'll give you the market interest."
Why not find Tang Mo?

Mrs. Liao, who is also a merchant girl, expected that Tang Mo and Liao Zhi were similar, not poor but not rich either.
Xin An smiled and said: "Speaking of profit, it is common for people to trade with each other in the business field."
For her and Tang Mo, lending ten thousand taels could bring the two families closer, so why not?
He turned his head and said to Tang Mo: "Then please go back, husband, and take the 10,000 taels of silver notes to the bank, cash them in cash, and send them here."
Tang Mo stood up directly and said to several people, "I'll be right back."
Liao Zhi nodded and looked at Mrs. Liao apologetically. Mrs. Liao stood up with a smile and said, "Sister Xin, the front yard is a mess. Let's go to the backyard to talk."
"Will it disturb Sister Xu?"
As soon as the title changed, the relationship between the two also changed. Mrs. Liao said: "Today's matter can be solved with money. Now that we have money, the rest will be simple and it will not affect our conversation today."
There is no reason to invite others back after you have invited them. Mrs. Liao led Xin An out. Liao Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then his eyes turned cold little by little. As expected, there was someone in the Liao family soon. Something is going to happen.
The courtyard of the Liao family's backyard is quiet and spacious because outsiders are not allowed to enter at will. Fruit snacks and tea have been placed on a stone table in the courtyard. "Sister Xin, please sit down."
Mrs. Liao burst out laughing, "Thankfully, Sister Xin helped me today, otherwise I would have had a headache for a long time."
"I will have it delivered to your house as soon as possible."
She spoke rashly even though they were not familiar with each other. She had no choice but to speak. Of course, she was able to speak because she expected that ten thousand taels would be 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 just send someone to deliver it whenever it's convenient."
With the wealth of the Xu family in Linzhou, it is naturally impossible to be short of such a small amount of money. I also thought that the Xu family must have a very large dowry. Today, they were forced to borrow money. This Liao family is probably not a bottomless pit.
