When the man saw a smart one, he didn't panic, and said with a smile: "Shangzhenguan has taken the incense sticks from me for so many years, and he has never given money. ”

Chen Yang asked: "It's not up to you to say anything, you said you didn't give money, how can you prove it?"

He is not unreasonable.

If he really didn't give it, he was willing to give the money.

But if he gave it, but he said that he didn't give it, Chen Yang couldn't bear it.

The man said: "This is a good proof, I have a list every year when I deliver it." ”

He beckoned, and the young man behind him opened the bag he was carrying and took out a thick notebook from the bag.

The man handed over the information: "The Taoist has passed through it. ”

Chen Yang flipped it open and swept it quickly.

This is the ledger, which clearly records the information about the incense sticks and other things that he has provided to the Upper Truth in each of the last six years.

However, he found it strange.

It doesn't look like you're going to owe money to the other party.

It is impossible for any Taoist temple to do this.

Shangzhenguan's incense is not bad in the first place, and the monthly revenue cannot be too small.

Why do such a thing?

Besides, how much incense is worth just incense?

Two million in six years, that is, more than 300,000 in a Chinese New Year's Eve, 30,000 a month.

The purchase price of incense sticks alone is 30,000 yuan a month, and the money sold is at least several times, otherwise it is impossible for real people to do this kind of transaction.

There must be a problem here, definitely a problem.

Chen Yang closed the account book and said, "You go back first, I will ask someone to check Shangzhenguan's account when I go back, and whether there is any transfer record in the past few years." If we really owe you money, we won't owe it. ”

The smile on the man's face froze: "What do you mean by this, Dao Chief? Do you think I will lie to you? The ledger has been shown to you, and it is clearly written in black and white, how else do you want me to prove it?"

Chen Yang said: "The ledger is yours, not mine, how do I know if this ledger is real or fake." ”

Yuelin also said: "You go back first, we won't repay the debt, didn't I just sign an IOU for interest?"

"What interest, what IOU?" Chen Yang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.

Yuelin said: "He said that he would charge interest for two million, so I signed an IOU with five cents of interest." ”

"Five cents!"

Chen Yang's eyes widened, and he immediately frowned: "You asked him to sign it?"

The man was a little uncomfortable by him, and snorted: "The money owed to me and the interest are right, what's wrong?"

Chen Yang sneered: "Of course, it is natural to exchange interest, but with five cents of interest, are you a usury?"

What is the concept of 5 cents?

Two million, one day is sixteen thousand interest.

Over the course of a year, the interest is higher than the principal.

It's not about money, it's about death.

He didn't know who this fat man was, but he knew that this fat man must have heard about something that had happened to Shangzhenguan.

And he estimated that the arrears of two million are indeed such a thing.

Although he didn't know why the Taoist of Shangzhenguan would have defaulted on the other party's money in the first place.

But nine times out of ten, this thing is true.

"Is the five-cent interest very high?" asked Chen Wuwu, puzzled.

Fang Qingran and Pang Songquan also looked confused.

The three of Yuelin also don't understand very well.

The corners of Chen Yang's mouth twitched, he really obeyed these Taoist priests.

Are you all non-eating fireworks?

He said: "Two million, 16,000 a day." Do you say it's high?"

"So high!"

Hearing this number, several people were startled.

"Hmph!" the man said, "He has already signed his name, and the interest is so much." Unless you pay back the money today, you must pay 16,000 a day of interest. If you don't give it, don't think about opening the Taoist temple before. ”

"Don't think I don't know, your Taoist temple can't be opened, and you're going to run away, if I don't have something to do with it, I know that you came back last night, I'm afraid it's really not easy to find you. ”

The man said with a slight smugness.

At this time, some people walked briskly from the bottom of the mountain.

"It's really open. ”

"Hurry up, don't let them run. ”

There were men and women in this group, all in their fifties.

"Dao Chief, it's time to pay back the money. ”

"The money for the rice and vegetables that your Taoist temple bought from me, should it be settled?"

"My farm supplies fruits to you every week, this is the bill, settle the money. ”

"Every time the Taoist temple meets, the tribute is taken from me, so let's settle it too. ”

The sudden arrival of a group of people made Yuelin a little at a loss, and at the same time felt very sad.

People walk tea cool.

It's realistic.

Chen Wuwu was a little angry: "What are you urging? Who said I owe you something? How much ......

Chen Yang pulled him and motioned for him not to speak.

"Everyone. Chen Yang said: "May I ask you, in previous years, how often did Shangzhenguan settle accounts with you?"

An old man in a new down jacket said: "In previous years, it was the month of Layue. ”

Chen Yang looked at the others: "What about you?"

The others nodded as well, all at a point in time.

Settle the bill before the year so they can have a good year with peace of mind.

Chen Yang said: "Since it was the month of Layue in previous years, why did you come here so early this year?"

"This ......"

They hesitated and didn't speak.

"Don't you care when we're coming?"

Chen Yang nodded: "You're right, it's only right to repay debts." ”

"But since you didn't keep your promise and came to ask for money in advance, then don't blame me for being impersonal. ”

"This account is clear, and after today, Shangzhenguan has nothing to do with you. In the future, if you need incense sticks and ingredients, you will no longer buy them from you. What we need is a partner who keeps promises, not someone who wavers after a few words. ”

The man sneered: "It seems that your Taoist temple will continue to open." Don't think I don't know, all of your Taoist priests who went to the True Temple have run away, and the Taoist Temple has been closed for more than a month, and I haven't seen you come out. If we don't take the initiative to come and ask for money, will we have to bear this loss?"

Someone chimed in: "That's right, Xiaodao Chief, although we are in a bit of a hurry, you also have your own problems, and you can't blame us." ”

"Let's settle the money first. ”

"It's almost the New Year, and we're still waiting for the money to go home for the New Year. ”

Some people are ashamed on the surface, but they still want money.

Chen Yang said: "If you want money, take out the bill." ”

"Yuelin, you go in and find the account book and talk to them. ”

"Hmm. Yuelin's face was gloomy, and he turned around and entered the Taoist temple.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

If the money is really owed by the True Concept, he will naturally not owe it and not pay it back.

But he still felt very uncomfortable when he came to ask for money before the appointed time.
