Chapter 1304 Yinzi Money

"It's a busy time right now, why are you looking for me at this time?"

Mrs. Xie frowned and looked at Li Rui's family in front of her, a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

"Ma'am, if it's an ordinary matter, the maidservant wouldn't dare to bother Madam at this time, but the maidservant just got a piece of news, after much deliberation, I still think it's better to come and tell Madam..."

The members of Li Rui's family took a cautious look at Mrs. Xie, feeling really apprehensive.

"If you have anything to say, say it quickly, the whole family in the room is waiting for me to say hello!"

Mrs. Xie turned her head, glanced into the room, and asked with a frown.

"Back to my wife..."

Li Rui's family carefully looked around and found that there was no one there, so they thought about it for a while, lowered their voice, and whispered in Xie's ear: "Madam, I still remember what the servant girl told you yesterday. Did you do a pawn shop thing?"

"Of course I remember? Is there something wrong with this pawn shop?"

Xie hurriedly asked a question.

"It's a coincidence to say that a nephew of the servant's family actually has some friendship with the shopkeeper. It just so happened that the nephew of the servant came to the house yesterday evening to talk about this matter... He said that the shopkeeper had a connection and put the money in the house. Going out for a month is limited, only one tael of silver is the principal, one month's interest is two taels of silver, overdue repayment is interest, madam, think about it, even if we pawn all our previous things, and How many taels of silver can you get? It’s better to earn interest according to this method, as long as there is enough time, our things will still be ours, and the first wife’s things will be earned, don’t you think?”

While speaking, Li Rui's family carefully looked at Xie's face.

"This, isn't this lending usury?"

Xie frowned tightly, although his heart was moved, he still had a bit of reason.

But for loan sharks, every penny is stained with blood.Because the interest rate is too high, the borrower usually fails to repay the loan. In the end, he has to sell his wife and daughter to pawn the house, otherwise he will only lose his life!

Because of this, the court's decree expressly prohibits officials from lending usury, in order to prevent some people from using their power to buy and sell by force, and finally make the people panic.

"My wife, if it wasn't for usury, how could there be such a high interest rate?"

Li Rui's family changed their minds, and hurriedly persuaded them earnestly: "Although it is usury, as long as it is handled properly, who would know that it was released by our house? Besides, this kind of thing has always been kept secret. To be honest, among these adults in the court, who has clean hands? We are just imitating them. If we are really exposed, I am afraid that most of the old men in Beijing will be involved. Already!"

"But is this reliable? What is your nephew...how is the relationship with the shopkeeper? Why is the shopkeeper willing to help us?"

The high interest rate made Mrs. Xie very excited, but Mrs. Xie was never a reckless person. If this matter could not be investigated and found out, she would definitely not take out the money easily.

"Because those loan sharks also need silver for turnover!"

The mystery of Li Rui's family said in Xie's ear: "It just so happens that there is such an opportunity, a wealthy family has made a big deal, but the principal is not enough, and even after borrowing from relatives and friends, the money is not enough." , so I can only focus on loan sharks..."
