After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Chapter 253 Raising Money
"Oh? Really?" He Jiabei didn't believe his words at all, his face darkened, and he ordered: "Open it and let me see!"

But the housekeeper waved his hand guiltily, and said, "It's better to say goodbye, it's dirty."

The more He Jiabei felt that his behavior was suspicious, he grabbed the burden from his shoulders and said: "What are you afraid of, just let me see if it's okay."

The butler refused, so the two of them grabbed it. After a lot of fighting, the bundle fell to the ground and the contents fell out.

He Jiabei squatted down, took a closer look, was taken aback immediately, and angrily scolded: "These are all treasures collected in my father's study, okay, Uncle Fu, you actually stole things!"

The butler turned pale with fright, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Master, you misunderstood, you misunderstood!"

"You still want to quibble? Get the stolen goods!" He Jiabei glared at him angrily.

"That's not the case!" The butler was still defending himself.

"Go, go see my father!" He Jiabei grabbed his sleeve and was about to walk to He Zixu's residence.

At this moment, He Zixu suddenly appeared from behind the tree, walked over, and said, "Jiabei, don't wrong Ah Fu anymore, he is following my order."

"Ah?" He Jiabei was startled when he heard this.

He Zixu then told him the ins and outs of the matter. When He Jiabei heard that the congratulatory gift had turned into stone, he was shocked and said, "The congratulatory gift was subcontracted?"

He Zixu sighed, and said: "I was too careless to fall into the tricks of the thieves. Although I am investigating secretly, there is no result yet."

He Jiabei asked: "Then, have you reported this matter to the Emperor?"

He Zixu shook his head and said, "Not yet, I don't want to alarm the emperor yet."

He Jiabei said worriedly: "Sooner or later, something will happen!"

He Zixu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "In order to deceive people, I have to temporarily sell some things to make up for it."

He Jiabei said: "Our Guangping Palace has a lot of wealth, so there is no need to sell the treasures?"

But He Zixu gave a wry smile, and said, "The Guangping Palace is no longer useful."

"No way?" He Jiabei had an unbelievable expression on his face.

He Zixu walked around with his hands behind his back, and said, "Your father and I have been officials for decades, neither greedy for money nor selfish, my salary is meager, and we are stretched."

He Jiabei was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Our He family still has fields and houses for rent, so the income should be pretty good."

But He Zixu said: "Well, think about it, the number of Sanfang's family members, together with the servants, is over half a hundred. In addition to subsidizing the expenses of the Martial Arts Hall, the Guangping Palace is already a strong outsider."

He Jiabei thought for a while, and suggested: "By the way, let's discuss it with everyone, father, aunt, and second mother's parents are all rich, so they can help."

He Zixu sighed, "I don't want them to be frightened by this matter."

He Jiabei had no choice but to persuade: "Father, we are a family. We have the same blessings and share the same hardships. The He family's army has a great record in shooting and killing. It depends on cooperation. Unity is strength."

He Zixu pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "I am indeed old, and I have to listen to my son's teachings."

"Father, I didn't mean that." He Jiabei grabbed his sleeve and explained, "I mean, let's discuss it with everyone."

He Zixu nodded repeatedly, and agreed: "Okay, you are right, I will do as you say."

So, he ordered the housekeeper to gather the wives and sons in the main hall.

The second child, He Jiaxi, asked worriedly: "Father, what happened? Tell me quickly. It is no small matter that you want to raise money with your family."

He Zixu sighed, and said, "If the situation wasn't critical, I wouldn't have made such a bad move."

The youngest He Jiadong frowned and asked, "Father, can you really not reveal it?"

He Zixu sighed, stood up from his seat, walked down the hall, scanned the crowd, and said slowly, "I can only say that this matter is related to the life and death of the He family."

When everyone heard the words, they were shocked and turned pale, and started whispering one after another.

He Zixu warned: "All of you must keep your mouth shut. If anything is leaked, the He family will be doomed."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Jiabei took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and said to everyone: "Okay, now everyone take out all the silver taels."

Mrs. He stood up and asked, "Is jewelry okay?"

He Jiabei nodded, and said: "Of course, but the jewelry must be sold first."

At this time, Mrs. He curled her lips and said, "I don't have any money. The household that the master gave me is used at home. I have no money."

Mrs. He also said: "The gold and silver jewelry and clothes I wear are all from my natal family's private money, and I don't have any."

Mrs. He snorted, and said: "People see how magnificent and beautiful the Guangping Palace is. I, I am really a dumb person who suffers from eating Coptis chinensis and can't tell."

Mrs. He followed suit and said: "That's right, if we want to have the cheek to go back to our natal family to borrow, what face do we have to meet them?"

He Jiabei couldn't stand listening anymore, and said loudly: "You guys really, it's this kind of time now, why are you talking about face? Face is second, money is something outside of your body, and everyone, remember to keep it a secret."

Mrs. He San hurriedly answered, "That's right, you can't reveal any secrets."

"Is that what you need to say?"

"that is!"

Seeing this, He Zixu said helplessly, "All right, all of you should do your best."

After saying this, everyone dispersed one after another. He Jiabei accompanied his mother back to the room, and saw that she had searched out all the jewelry in the room, put them on the table, and looked at them one by one in her hand. Full of smiles.

"Mother, you seem very happy." Seeing her smiling, He Jiabei also laughed and said.

Mrs. He San caressed a string of jade beads in her hand, and said: "I didn't know until now that your father didn't mean us mother and son. I saw the first lady and the second lady wearing gold and silver, competing for beauty all day long. I He Hua is probably the Jingchai sarong."

"Are you jealous?" He Jiabei joked with a smile.

Mrs. He San picked up another golden step and said, "I didn't say anything, but I felt in my heart that the master is biased towards them."

He Jiabei nodded slightly, and said quietly: "To be honest, I always thought that Dad was stingy before. It turns out that he has other reasons."

Third Madam He continued: "I only found out today that the private money used by the First Madam and the Second Madam was brought by their natal families. Then the knot in my heart will be gone."

He Jiabei glanced at the various jewelry in her hand, and said: "My mother's family is rich, so it's only natural to wear gorgeous clothes, and there's nothing to be jealous of."

Mrs. He San murmured: "In the face of a catastrophe, how can mother hide her secrets? Your father is right, there is a country to have a family, and a family to have both of us. These are all things outside the body, and they will come back after all the money is gone." Well, as long as your father can tide over the difficulties this time, our good days are yet to come!"
