Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 907 The Best Family 34
Master Sun Er was thinking that it would be fine if Linlang died this time, but if she didn't die and continued to rise, he had another plan that would cause trouble for Linlang and the first wife in the future.

What is this other preparation?

That is, using gambling, lending money, usury, etc. to tempt the people in the first wife to make mistakes.

As long as the male son of the first wife falls in love with gambling, he can squander all his money.

As the eldest wife becomes richer and richer, when she sees that the money she earns from buying the shop is not as much as from usury, she may not buy the shop, but lend it out directly. In this way, if Linlang climbs to a high position in the future, if the eldest wife's behavior is exposed, Linlang will be implicated.

Furthermore, when Sun Linlang's status becomes higher, he can induce the people of the first wife's house to use their status as in-laws to help people settle lawsuits. This kind of thing is very profitable. If the people of the first wife's house are greedy for money and do this, Linlang will have to bear the consequences in the future.

Now the eldest wife hasn't bought any land, but as Sun Linlang becomes better and better off and the eldest wife has servants, she can bribe them and let them instigate the eldest wife to buy land. Then the bribed servants can occupy other people's land outside, and when it is exposed in the future, it will bring trouble to the eldest wife and Sun Linlang.

All these things, if discovered, would definitely affect Linlang. The people from the first wife's house came from the countryside and didn't know much, so they were often easily fooled. Master Sun Er had already laid out several plans, just waiting for the people from the first wife's house to be fooled.

The people of the first house have indeed faced these temptations recently. For example, Linlang was promoted again, and the palace sent a lot of promotion gifts. When the people of the first house were preparing to buy a shop, the house agent persuaded the father and son of Master Sun who came to buy the shop, saying: "You are so rich, why don't you lend the money for interest, 80% or 90% is fine, in a year, the money can double, unlike you who buy a shop, you can only make a few dollars a month."

This accomplice was obviously bribed by Master Sun Er.

The shop that Master Sun Da looked for last time was bought from this broker. Master Sun Da was a conservative person. When he wanted to buy something for the second time, he would usually not buy from strangers. He would only buy from brokers he had dealt with before. So this man was bribed by Master Sun Er.

What this person was encouraging at this time was usury and exploitation.

8% interest and 9% interest refer to the interest for one month. After a year, the effect is almost doubled.

Of course, there is the even more cruel case of nine out and thirteen back.

Although this is not as harsh as the 13th out of 90% interest, but the interest rate of up to 100% a year is obviously also usury. The court will control it, and the crime is often usury.

Mr. Sun's son was somewhat tempted after hearing this. After all, who wouldn't be confused when hearing about doubling the profit every year? He thought that if the profit could double every year, his family would become rich in a few years.

But Master Sun didn't listen, and said, "Lending money at such high interest rates is a disgrace to one's virtue. In our hometown, countless families have been ruined by such loans. We won't do such a thing. Besides, our family has no power. If we lend money and can't get it back, won't we lose all the principal?"

Master Sun Da was indeed a country boy. He did not know that the imperial court could use the crime of usury to punish him, because there were many people in the countryside who lent money at such high rates. He thought that this was legal, just like Master Sun Er thought. He never thought that this was illegal.

But he has a simple moral value, knowing that some people in the countryside (mostly gamblers) can't borrow cheap money, so they can only borrow from such high-interest loans. When they can't pay it back on time, those who lend money at high interest will send thugs to collect the money. Those who have no money will mortgage their wives, daughters and children to them, and finally their families will be broken up. Master Sun has seen many such tragedies in the countryside, so he will naturally not do the same evil ghost.

Besides, as Master Sun said, he is an honest man. He is not like those money lenders who have so many thugs collecting debts everywhere. If they cannot collect the money, the principal will be wasted. So he naturally cannot do such a thing. It is better for him to buy a shop honestly and earn some rent steadily.

After hearing what his father said, Master Sun's son couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. At that moment, he was tempted by the big money that the yamen talked about, and his heart was moved. But Master Sun's words reminded him of the poor people in the countryside, and some gamblers ended up selling their wives, daughters and sons. He immediately gave up the idea.

I thought, my family is rich now, why should I do such immoral things just to make more money? It's not worth it.

Besides, as my father said, they don’t have any thugs, so they can’t collect the rent. Even if they did, he wouldn’t be able to bring himself to force someone’s family to ruin. So it’s better to be honest and buy a shop and collect rent.

When the broker saw that Master Sun refused, he thought of his mission and tried to persuade him for a long time, until Master Sun became unhappy and said that if he wanted to sell the shop, they would go to other brokers to ask. The broker had no choice but to introduce the shop to Master Sun.

However, he had not completely given up on persuading Master Sun to lend the money. After all, he had just seen Master Sun's son, and he seemed very tempted. If he could not persuade Master Sun, he could start with his son. Young people are easy to deceive.

But this guy probably doesn't have time.

Ever since Linlang knew that Master Sun Er wanted to harm her, she had been sending little bees to keep an eye on Master Sun Er. She soon discovered that Master Sun Er was targeting the eldest wife.

Seeing that Master Sun Er actually wanted to kill her and the first wife, she would naturally take action.

As for the other people bribed by Master Sun Er, they haven't taken any action yet. Linlang has not dealt with them for the time being, regardless of their actions or their intentions. However, she will definitely kill the broker who has already taken action. After all, this person took money and did such a thing. In the future, Master Sun Er can pretend to be someone else and accuse the eldest branch of the Sun family of usury and exploitation, and the eldest branch of the Sun family will most likely be in trouble. If the emperor gets to know about this, she will definitely be implicated. So how could Linlang let such a person go?

At that moment, Linlang secretly came out of the palace every night, followed this man, and waited for the right opportunity to strike.

Although Linlang could have directly broken the man's neck, she didn't want to be discovered that the man had been killed. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Master Sun Er, she only planned to create an accident, which required timing.

Fortunately, the opportunity came quickly, because this man likes to drink, and he likes to get drunk once he drinks, giving her plenty of opportunities to take action.

So that day, the man came back from a tavern in the city, drank a lot of wine, and was staggering back home. Linlang saw him passing by a small river with no one around, so she pressed his sleeping point, lifted him to the river bank, and put him headfirst into the river, making it look like he was drunk and accidentally fell into the river and drowned.

When Master Sun Er arrived at the door and was about to ask about the other party's actions, he heard that the other party was drunk and slipped and fell into the river and drowned when passing by a creek at night.

He couldn't help but be surprised at the moment, but he didn't suspect Linlang. After all, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't have imagined that Linlang could leave the palace to do such a thing.
