Chapter 356 356. Urgent illness
Zhu Hong didn't get sick just in the past two days. He had been feeling uncomfortable since the night of Zhu Xiaoxian's wedding. He just kept holding on and didn't say anything. It wasn't until he suddenly fainted a few days ago that the Zhu family discovered that he was sick. .
After seeing a doctor, they all said it was caused by anxiety and depression.
After waiting for Zhu Hong to drink the decoction, Zhu Xiaoxian spoke.
In the past few days, shopkeepers have been reporting that there is a lack of money in their accounts. My son is thinking about borrowing some money from the Chi family, and then paying it back with double the interest after he has calmed down. What does his father think?
Zhu Hong did not speak and seemed to be thinking about the credibility of the matter.
"What has your father-in-law said these days?"
When mentioning the fifth master of the Chi family, Zhu Xiaoxian looked quite disgusted.
The separation from him was so clear on the day they got married. The two of them didn't fall out on the spot. They already gave each other face, so when they came back, he went through the motions politely.
He now dislikes no one in the Chi family except his wife and brother-in-law.
Seeing that Zhu Xiaoxian didn't speak, Zhu Hong also had an idea.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that everyone is pushing against the wall. How many people want to break up with us these days and cut off contact with us. I don't know whose instructions they got, but they are so unanimous."
"Who else could it be? It must be Liang Quanbin who was behind the instigation. I heard that he has met with many big merchants in Jinling City in the name of the government these days. In addition, the Cao family is his lackey, and they are the matchmakers. Awesome, thats why its like this.
When Zhu Xiao first mentioned Liang Quanbin, he gritted his teeth with hatred and wished to kill him immediately to relieve the hatred in his heart.
But the second uncle of the Zhu family, Zhu Tu, and the eldest son-in-law Quanfu are both trapped in prison and have not been released yet, so they cannot act rashly for the time being.
Everything must be discussed after people are released.
Today's Zhu family has been severely damaged. Not only did they lose soldiers and generals, they also lost a lot of money to Liang Quanbin.
It is no longer able to spend extra money to help shopkeepers from outside.
They stood in a large area, and everyone hoped that the Zhu family could come up with an explanation. Otherwise, their reputation would be ruined and it would be difficult to build it up again in the future.
Unfortunately, most of the Zhu family's business is usually managed by his second uncle Zhu Tu. He is in prison now and cannot make many decisions. Zhu Xiao can only step in to stabilize them first.
Dont panic, everyone, my father and I are thinking of a solution, and we have also made an agreement with the Chi family. If we hold on for a few more days, we will definitely be able to give everyone a solution!
Hearing the word Chi family, the shopkeepers felt relieved, thinking that the Zhu family was the in-laws of the Chi family after all, and they would not ignore it.
Its a pity that they didnt know that it was Chi Zimo, the head of the Chi family, who was plotting against the Zhu family.
In the main courtyard of the Chi family, Chi Zimo was listening to the people below talking about the situation of the Zhu family.
Nowadays, all the industries that the Zhu family is involved in have been turned into a mess. If the family owner wanted to take over the Zhu family at this moment, it would be easy.
Dont panic, we havent reached the last step yet. Why spend seven cents on something that can be obtained with three cents?
As expected, he is a businessman and his calculations are very accurate.
The last step that Chi Zimo had been talking about came soon.
There was a run on the bank under the name of the Zhu family.
Although this bank is not the main business of the Zhu family, it is after all the largest source of cash circulation. People holding banknotes to exchange money now line up three streets.
Don't say that the Zhu family's bank does not have that much money to exchange. Even if it does, it cannot continue to be exchanged like this, otherwise the bank will definitely fail.
How could Chi Zimo give the Zhu family room for maneuver? That afternoon, when the news reached Zhu Hongs ears that the Zhu familys bank had also been wiped out, he almost met the King of Hell without taking a breath.
At the critical moment, Zhu Xiaoxian fed him the last Zhulong Pill.
Elixirs are elixirs. Zhu Hong's breath soon calmed down. After feeling that the breath that had been tight in his chest disappeared, Zhu Hong himself understood that it must be the effect of Zhulong Pill.
Having lost two pills in succession, all the Zhu familys heirlooms have now been used up. He was a little lost in thought while holding the pill box, and suddenly remembered that the Min family had sent a thank you gift.
If the Chi family is unwilling to help, it might be feasible to ask the Min family!
So he calmed down and said to his son Zhu Xiaoxian.
"You go and prepare some congratulatory gifts. Prince Ding has come to Min's house to recuperate for many days. We have never visited him, so it is appropriate to go today."
After hearing what he said, Zhu Xiaoxian also understood.
But this elixir was not sent by us on our own initiative. Will the Min family accept this favor?
Lets treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Apart from the Min family, who else in Jinling City is willing or capable to help us?
Zhu Hong sighed, he didn't expect to reach this point.
In the past, when the Min family came to ask for medicine, he acted aloof. Now that he has to bow down to others, he really feels ashamed and angry.
For the sake of the Zhu family, let alone asking the Min family, there is no problem even asking him to die immediately.
When the father and son brought congratulatory gifts to Min's house, they didn't even see Mrs. Min, not to mention the prince.
The housekeeper said apologetically.
"What a coincidence. The prince has been in better health these days. My great-grandfather made a great wish in front of the Bodhisattva before. If the prince's illness can be cured, he will rebuild his golden body. No, he took the prince there. Yin Guang Temple said he would not come back until half a month later."
This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing the father and son to retreat repeatedly.
Is God really going to destroy the Zhu family?
Leave them no chance at all!
Butler, could you please do it for us and tell us that it would be a good idea for us to go to Yinguang Temple to visit the prince?
Zhu Hong was really anxious this time. If he had known this, he would have given the elixir to King Ding.
Today, I can let him return the favor. Unexpectedly, every wrong step will lead to wrong steps.
What should we do now?
It was useless for the two of them to stay at Min's house, so they sat for a while and left.
On the carriage, Zhu Xiaoxian frowned, "Father, what should we do this time? The bank still owes a lot of people, and now everyone is scolding me that the Zhu family is not trustworthy. They can save money but not take it out. If this credit is ruined, , it will be troublesome to find it back in the future."
Go to Chis house!
Chi family?
Zhu Xiaoxian was a little confused. They had sent news to the Chi family several times, but it all seemed to be lost in the sea. If they went now, would the result be different?
But Zhu Hong had something else in mind.
Arrived at Chi's house, Chi Zimo heard the news that Zhu Hong, Zhu Xiaoxian and his son came to the house in person. He smiled slightly, but he couldn't stop it after all.
So he was in a good mood and waved, and asked people to prepare refreshments to welcome the "distinguished guests".
