505 I didn’t expect such a turn
Ge Chunru’s face was full of heartache when he heard Xiao Hanzheng’s words.
“This is my brother, how can you leave him to die?”
“These people are robbers. He only owe ten thousand taels, but they want us to pay them thirty thousand.
“Go and report them to the authorities!” She said in a sharp voice.
Xiao Yuanshi’s face darkened. “I’m the deputy governor, not the magistrate of Northern City. I don’t have the authority to meddle in such a matter.”
The burly man looked at Ge Chunru and snorted. “Concubine Ge, you can send someone to get the magistrate to sue us now.”
Then, he took out a receipt that Ge Chunyi had signed. “This is your brother’s signature.
“It’s clearly written on it that the interest will be increased by ten times a day after the time limit is exceeded.
“We’re not afraid even if you tell the emperor,” he said confidently.
Ge Chunru read the contents of the IOU and almost fainted from anger.
He looked at Ge Chunyi with a bit of anger. “Why did you sign this? ”
Ge Chunyi shrunk his neck. “I didn’t think so much at that time.”
He had been thinking about how he could earn back his losses, so he had borrowed money.
They had made him sign an IOU, and he had signed it.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanshi said to Ge Chunru, “Don’t worry about this matter. Your brother signed the IOU. He can’t run away from this.”
If the person behind the casino didn’t have a good background, he could still manage it, but now he just wanted to quickly cut off his relationship with Ge Chunyi.
Ge Chunru looked at him in disbelief. he’s my brother. “How can you ask me to leave him alone? How can you be so cold-blooded? ”
Xiao Hanzheng was furious and said coldly, “I didn’t ask him to gamble. It’s time for him to learn his lesson. If you want to care about it, you can do it yourself. I still have work to do.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and mounted the horse that his personal attendant had pulled over.
He glanced at them before riding away on his horse.
He didn’t want to care about Ge Chunru and her brother’s business, and he couldn’t afford to be humiliated.
Therefore, out of sight, out of mind, just avoid it.
Ge Chunru couldn’t take out so much money anyway.
His mother and Liu Ru were in charge of the deputy governor’s mansion’s accounts.
Ge Chunru couldn’t get the money from his mother.
Besides, she only had a few thousand taels in her account, which was not enough.
The people from the gambling dens didn’t dare to ask Xiao Yuanshi to return the money.
Ge Chunru’s heart turned cold as she watched Xiao Yuanshi leave on his horse.
She hated him even more now.
He was a cold and heartless bastard.
As Xiao Yuanshi left, the burly man’s lips revealed a meaningful smile.
He looked at Ge Chunru with a fierce expression and asked, “Concubine Ge, I’ll ask you one more time. Are you going to return the money?”
Ge Chunru panicked. “I don’t have thirty thousand taels of silver now.”
“Then your brother’s hands will be chopped off,” the burly man said coldly.
Ge Chunyi was so scared that he cried again and asked Ge Chunru to save him.
If both his hands were chopped off, how could he live in the future?
Ge Chunru felt very uncomfortable. She could only soften her tone and say to the burly man, “Give me some time, I’ll go get the money.”
The burly man raised his eyebrows. “It’s written on the IOU that the interest will double for every day that passes. How many days do you need to raise the money?”
Ge Chunru’s expression changed. If that was the case, how could she pay him back?
Thirty thousand taels was already difficult for her to gather, let alone more.
“Two days, I’ll definitely raise the money within two days,” she said through gritted teeth.
No matter what, she had to think of a way.
She couldn’t let her brother’s hand be chopped off.
Just then, Old Lady Xiao rushed out and slapped Ge Chunru twice.
“You b * tch, you’ve already spent most of my family’s money to finance your younger brother and sister in the past. How can you still have 30,000 taels to pay off his debts?
“Even if you have it, I can’t let you use it to finance your useless brother.”
Ge Chunru covered her face and looked at the old lady with hatred. “This has nothing to do with you.”
Ever since the old lady had moved in, she would torture her from time to time.
Now, she was here to cause trouble again.
She really wanted to pull out the old woman’s tendons and skin her.
Old Lady Xiao snorted. this is the Xiao family, not the Ge family.
She then turned to the burly man and said, “It’s impossible for her to raise thirty thousand taels. The Xiao family doesn’t have a single cent. You can take him away.”
It was impossible to gather so much silver to pay off Ge Chunyi’s debt.
The burly man did not force her. “Alright, since you’ve said so, we won’t waste any more time.
“Take them away!”
After he finished speaking, he ordered his people to drag Ge Chunyi and Mdm Niu away.
Ge Chunru glared at Old Lady Xiao.
“If anything happens to my brother, I will never let you off.”
She didn’t care about her reputation anymore, not to mention that she didn’t have any reputation.
She was only thinking about how to save her brother.
She didn’t hesitate to give chase.
The old lady was also extremely angry. “You little b * tch, you are chasing after him. If you have the guts, don’t come back.”
Such a scourge could not be left in the residence.
When her son came back, she would tell him that it would be best to drive Ge Chunru out.
On the other hand, Ge Chunru and her maidservant had followed them to the gambling den.
Those at the door did not stop her and let her run in.
Ge Chunru followed them all the way to an open room in the backyard.
Then, she saw her brother being pressed down on the ground by two people, with one hand on a stool.
The burly man from before was holding a sharp knife in his hand and was about to cut off her brother’s left hand.
Ge Chunyi’s pants were all wet.
He was so scared that he peed his pants.
Ge Chunru was so scared that her body went soft. “No, no!”
She hurriedly rushed in. “No, you can’t do this.”
The burly man stopped his knife. “Concubine Ge, even Deputy Governor Xiao has no right to stop us. Do you think you have the rights to? ”
“I’ll get the money.” Ge Chunru begged.
“Please let my brother go first.”
The burly man glanced at her disdainfully.
She was so arrogant previously, but now she had to lower her voice and beg.
“Your old Madam has said that it’s impossible that she would give you the money to repay the debt. Where are you going to get the money from?”
Ge Chunru choked, but she couldn’t care less now.
She continued to cry. “I will definitely do my best.”
The burly man pointed at Ge Chunyi’s intact leg with his knife.
“If you can’t get the money in two days, I’ll cut off his leg too. How about it? ”
Ge Chunru was so scared that he took two steps back. This man was too ruthless.
However, she really couldn’t guarantee that she could raise so much money in two days.
After all, Xiao Yuanshi was getting colder and colder to her, and she no longer held the power as the lady of the house.
Seeing that Ge Chunru did not say anything, the burly man sneered.
“If you can’t do it, don’t get in the way of me chopping off his hand.”
As he spoke, he raised his saber and was about to strike again.
“No, don’t!” Ge Chunru immediately said.
“Please give me some time, I’ll definitely raise the money to pay you back,” she pleaded.
The burly man stopped and looked at her.
“But I don’t think that an insignificant concubine like you can raise so much money.”
When he saw Ge Chunru’s look of despair, he changed the topic and said, “However, there are other ways to save your brother.”
Ge Chunru didn’t expect such a turn of events, so she asked impatiently, “What can I do to make you let my brother go? As long as it’s within my means, I’ll agree to it. ”
Xiao Yuanshi had treated her so badly that she hated him and everyone in the Xiao family.
In her heart, her younger brother and sister were her family that she could rely on.
Therefore, she was willing to do anything to save her younger brother.
