Sure enough, the Su family went to Yunyang City on the second day.

The Zeng family and the Ren family were only at the stage of negotiating relatives before, and did not exchange tokens or postcards, so if the Ren family wants to refuse now, even if the Zeng family is not happy, there is no other way.

Mrs. Su went to Yunyang City and came back in the afternoon of the same day, and told Mrs. Ren that the Su family would come forward to help the Ren family and the Zeng family clarify this matter. Mrs. Ren thanked Mrs. Su.

Over there, Mr. Ren has already started to run around for Mrs. Ren to be released from prison, but the Ren family has been busy for a few days, entrusted a lot of relationships, and spent a lot of money. The government just refused to let him go. Mr. Yang, who has a good relationship with his family, told Mr. Ren that he had invited a doctor to the prison to see Mr. Ren, and Mr. Ren had already subsided his fever after drinking a few doses of medicine. The Ren family finally relaxed.

In this way, after Mrs. Ren stayed in prison for seven or eight days, Mr. Mu was finally willing to see Mrs. Ren's family. Elder Master Ren had approached Lord Mu several times after he came out, but Lord Mu refused to see anyone from the Ren family again, not even Master Yang.

The Ren family was overjoyed when they heard the news, thinking that this matter had finally turned around.

So on this day, Mr. Ren, accompanied by Ren Shimao and Lin Kun, went to meet Mr. Mu, while everyone in the Ren family waited anxiously for the news at home.

I don't want to, Mr. Ren and the others went there for half a day, and it was already dark when they came back. Mrs. Ren hurriedly asked Mr. Ren and the others to come over and ask questions.

The old lady Ren was originally in good health, and she could get out of bed after a few days of rest after Mr. Ren came out, but such a tossing made her look a lot tired.

Even if Mrs. Ren didn't invite Elder Master Ren, Elder Ren would still come to Ronghuayuan first, because there are some important matters that must be discussed with Mrs. Ren and even people from each room of Ren's family.

Seeing Mr. Ren coming, Mrs. Ren immediately asked, "What's the matter? Has the government agreed to release him?"

Master Ren sighed tiredly: "Mother, let someone invite the third brother and the second brother from the East Mansion to come over. I'm afraid I can't make up my own mind about some things."

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Ren saw that Mr. Ren Wu and Lin Kun who came back with Mr. Ren all had serious expressions on their faces. Ren Shimin also called over.

After the Second Master of the East Mansion and Ren Shimin came over, Eldest Master Ren said, "Master Mu is relieved today."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, Old Madam Ren breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her chest and said reproachfully: "It's a good thing that the government can let go. I'm shocked by your appearance."

Master Ren sighed: "It is indeed a good thing to be willing to let people go, but the Ren family also needs to pay some price."

Master Ren frowned and said, "What price?"

Master Ren Wu said: "Master Mu said that this matter has too much to do with it. Originally, my father could not be released. But considering that our Ren family is just an ordinary merchant, there have not been any criminals in these years." , and the Yanbei Palace has some impressions of our Ren family, so it is agreed that they can be punished lightly."

"What kind of lenient law is that?" the old lady Ren asked anxiously.

Fifth Master Ren said in a deep voice: "Either hand over half of the coal mines and coal warehouses under the name of the Ren family, or give 1.5 million taels of silver, and take 60% of the profits from the Ren family's coal mines and coal warehouses every year. It will be handed over, and it will be handed over for ten years starting next year."

"What!" The old lady Ren was about to fall over, she said angrily, "This is called light punishment? So what is serious punishment?"

Master Ren said in a difficult tone: "Do you know the Yu family and Wu family in Ningxia? They are also the two families that were implicated this time because of the Zeng family. All the adult men of the Yu family and Wu family, including the patriarch, were beheaded. Thirteen-year-old The following men and all the women were treated as official slaves, and all the property of the two families was confiscated."

As soon as Mr. Ren's words were spoken, the room was completely silent.

Master Ren glanced around at the crowd, then closed his eyes and said, "Do you think we still have a choice?"

The old lady Ren felt dizzy for a while, but when she knew that she was not fainted yet, she forced herself to ask the elder: "Is there really no other way? Isn't this going to cut off my Ren family's way out?"

Elder Ren comforted with a wry smile: "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about firewood. You can still earn back the losses if you're still there. What if you're no longer there? Aren't these all belonged to others?"

The old lady Ren stopped talking in a daze.

Master Ren rubbed his eyebrows and said: "I have already told Mr. Mu that this matter is too important. I need to see my father before I can decide. Mr. Mu has promised me to visit my father in prison tomorrow."

Only then did the old lady regain some energy, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this matter still needs your father to make up his mind. You can discuss it with him tomorrow to see what to do." In the end, the important matters in the family were decided by Mrs. Ren, and she felt that as long as Mrs. Ren knew, maybe he could come up with some way to make things better.

After all, taking out 1.5 million taels of silver and handing over 60% of the annual income is a traumatic thing for the Ren family, and the old lady Ren herself dare not take this idea.

Because this matter still depends on Mrs. Ren to decide, so Mrs. Ren asked everyone in each house to go back.

Ren Yaoqi also knew about this after Master Ren San came back.

The third master Ren said optimistically: "If only spending some money can make my father come out and the Ren family can be safe, then just spend some money."

Ren Yaoqi shook her head and sighed secretly, if all the members of the Ren family thought like her father, there wouldn't be so many disputes and disputes. When money is involved, how can things be so simple? The Ren family is afraid that there will be troubles in the future.

On the second day, Mr. Ren really went to visit Mr. Ren in the prison, and when he came back, all the houses of Ren's family gathered in the Ronghua Courtyard.

Mr. Ren said: "Father agrees, let's do as Master Mu said. From now on, the government will send people to check our accounts every year to ensure that 60% of the income is handed over. The other 150% One hundred thousand taels of silver, we are afraid that we won’t be able to get that much cash all at once, Master Mu agrees that we will pay it in three installments within a year.”

Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.

The old lady Ren asked, "Then when will your father come back?"

Mr. Ren said: "Father will come out when the accounts of the coal mine and the coal store are cleared, and the five hundred thousand taels of silver will be paid first. I will tell someone to do it as soon as possible. Today I saw my father, he Although he didn't have a fever, he was coughing all the time, and his spirits were not very good. The environment in the prison was too cold and humid, and my father might not be able to hold on if he stayed here."

Hearing what Mr. Ren said, Mrs. Ren didn't have any objections anymore. Anyway, they have to pay the money. What's the difference if they pay early or late? Can they still owe the government?

"Then go quickly and bring your father back earlier."

Mr. Ren was about to answer, but he heard a commotion outside.

The old lady Ren frowned and said displeasedly: "Who is making noise outside?"

Shan Shan hurried in and reported: "Old lady, it's the old lady from Dongfu who came over, she..."

Before Shan Shan finished speaking, Liao Shi, an old lady from Dongfu, strode in.

The second master hurriedly said, "Mother, why are you here?"

Mrs. Liao glanced at Mrs. Ren, and snorted coldly: "I won't come? If I don't come, the Ren family will be defeated and no one will know!" She walked over and tapped Master Ren's forehead heavily with her fingers, " As long as you are honest, what other people say is what they say, if I don't look at it more, I am afraid that you will be eaten by others, and there will be no bones left."

The old lady Ren said displeasedly: "Second brother and sister, what do you mean by that?"

Liao sneered and said, "What do you mean? Let me ask you, do you want to use half of the Ren family's property to save uncle from prison? Of course I don't object if you want to save people, but before that, let's divide the family Come on!"

Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard this.

Second Master Ren coughed lightly and said, "Mother, what are you talking about!"

The old lady Ren glanced at the second master Ren, and snorted coldly in her heart. If someone hadn't told Liao Shi about this matter, how could Liao Shi know about it and choose this time to make a fuss? No wonder Second Master Ren didn't say a word just now, and he didn't even mention to write to his father and younger brother in Kyoto to explain, so there was such a thing waiting for him later.

The old lady Ren spat in her heart, saying that dogs that bite people don't bark, Ren Shiyuan usually looks like he is devoted to the Buddha and doesn't care about world affairs, but when it comes to critical moments, he has the most eyes.

Elder Ren said: "Second Aunt, when grandfather was alive, he had already said that the Ren family is not divided."

Liao said: "One moment and another moment! If your grandfather knew that the Ren family would be defeated by you, he would have agreed to split the family long ago! It would be good for the Ren family to split up now, right? Our Dongfu split up ours. One, if you take your other share to save Uncle, half of the ancestor's inheritance can be preserved, right?"
