Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 582 - 236: Is this the attitude for a conversation? From the perspective of a friend! (Request for subscription)_2

Seeing the smile on Sanlang's face, Wei Zhe sighed in relief and said, "And then there's the Zhangsun Family... Sanlang, do you remember the Zhangsun Family?"

"The Zhangsun Family, huh." Yuchi pondered for a moment, "Is it Changsun Mei's family?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In his mind was the image of a charming girl with phoenix eyes, who seemed quite good-looking. But it seemed that due to some matters, he hadn't communicated much with her?

Uh, there have been a lot of miscellaneous things recently, which led to some trivial past matters being incompletely remembered, only leaving a vague impression.

"Yes." Wei Zhe confirmed with certainty.

When Yuchi asked what was happening, he continued to explain what had occurred with the Zhangsun Family.

"There were issues within the Zhangsun Family. After the original Patriarch of the Zhangsun Family stepped down, Changsun Mei was supposed to take charge of everything related to the Zhangsun Family. She did very well, gradually managing the Zhangsun Family quite effectively. But later her father couldn't sit back any longer, and Changsun Cheng started to split the entire Zhangsun Family."

"At first, it wasn't a big deal, just that the Zhangsun Family began splitting up, but later when Changsun Mei hardened her resolve, the Zhangsun Family descended into internal strife, with large-scale casualties on both sides."

"For a time, many corpses were dragged out of the Zhangsun Family, resulting in heavy casualties. Eventually, Changsun Cheng took some confidants and left the Zhangsun Family, while Changsun Mei stayed in Xufu Town to continue doing business. However, since manpower and strength were almost halved at once, the Zhangsun Family immediately fell into decline. She came to the guild seeking your help a few days ago, but you weren't there."

"I took the liberty of helping by providing them with some interest-free silver to temporarily tide them over, but in recent investigations, the decline of the Zhangsun Family still seems inevitable."

"This silver... I'm afraid it will be very difficult to recover in the end."

Wei Zhe sighed as he spoke. Lending money to members is a very normal behavior for the guild, but the key was that this money needed to be recovered.

The guild isn't a welfare institution; the money belongs to the guild, and if the silver can't be recovered, it's quite troublesome. After seizing her assets, if Changsun Mei still can't repay, what else can be done?

Really sell her directly to a brothel?

The problem now isn't "the guild lending money to members," but that when the accountant didn't recommend lending silver to the Zhangsun Family, Wei Zhe made the decision himself. As a result, if the Zhangsun Family repaid, there wouldn't be a big problem. But if they didn't repay, it became Wei Zhe's problem, and he had to bear it honestly.

"How much silver?" Yuchi asked with a slight frown.

"Thirty thousand taels," Wei Zhe answered awkwardly.

This isn't a small sum. If the other party can't repay thirty thousand taels of silver, it's quite helpless, and by then the Wei Family will have to provide thirty thousand taels of silver to the guild. Otherwise, if accountants from other families discover such "bad debt," it would harm the guild's credibility.

Understood, such a phenomenon was common in the previous life. However, the Zhangsun Family seemed to be quite a large family originally, how could the father and daughter become so estranged that they couldn't even come up with thirty thousand taels? Yuchi pondered for a moment, "No matter what, when the time comes, our Wei Family will first return the silver to the guild and cover for it."

"Alright, I'm sorry." Wei Zhe said apologetically.

"Hey, big brother, don't be anxious. This kind of thing is as normal as can be. Is there anyone in this world who can confidently predict what will happen in the future?"

Yuchi smiled, feeling his big brother's nervousness, much like a child who had done something wrong.

But he still said, "Be more careful next time when doing this kind of thing. This time it's thirty thousand taels, which our Wei Family can still bear, but what if it's three hundred thousand taels?"

"Right?"

Feeling Yuchi's kindness, Wei Zhe nodded earnestly, "I'll definitely pay more attention next time... So what do we do with this silver now? The Zhangsun Family seems truly incapable of repaying."

"And if they don't repay this time, the impact seems unfavorable."

It's only natural to repay debts. The silver definitely needs to be repaid, but it has to be through another means, Yuchi said, "Summon the current representative of the Zhangsun Family. Let's negotiate with them."

"Alright, I'll send someone to handle it now!" Wei Zhe nodded solemnly.

"Hmm."

...

In the Twelve Linked Huts, Qian Wenshi received orders from Yuchi.

He looked at the Wei Family's Guest Minister in confusion, "Does the President truly intend to kill these people directly?"

The Guest Minister nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Twelve Master, rest assured this surely is from the President's request. As for Sanlang's intention, it's quite simple. Matters put on the surface can be negotiated, but if harm is used for coercion, and so many lives have already been lost, it's better to make sure life is repaid first."

"Alright then!"

Qian Wenshi saluted and saw off the Wei Family's Guest Minister. He felt all dazed.

The river breeze blew, and he muttered to himself, "I thought I'd be able to meet Yuchi, but it turns out the other party doesn't intend to come at all. Just said kill, and so it shall be done."
