Chapter Ninety-One: Asking for Debts
Yan Yu said: "The grass people are a long story short. A while ago, a prince set up a chess game in Muzhai, and there were many bettors at that time, Chen Erye and Dong Shiye were among them, and the 20,000 taels of silver were lost by Dong Shiye that day. As for the grudge between the tenth master and the second master Chen, the grass people don't know. “
Yan Yu didn't bring any emotion, just a simple Uncle Xu.
Dong Shengxing turned his head to look at Dong Wenyi and said, "What he said is a matter?"
Dong Wenyi cried: "No, yes. ”
Dong Sheng said angrily: "Is that really it? or is it not? What the hell is going on?"
Dong Wenyi cried: "The one who set up the chess is Chen Mingxing, it was he and Dong Ruyi who colluded to cheat everyone's money, I think maybe Mu Zhai also knows about this, and they colluded." ”
Dong Shengxing was stunned for a moment, how could this have anything to do with Dong Ruyi and Chen Mingxing, and suddenly he thought of Dong Ruyi's nearly 200,000 taels of silver tickets yesterday.
Originally, he wanted Laifu to go out to inquire today, but because of Laiwang's matter, inquiring about Dong Ruyi's silver was delayed.
Dong Shengxing was angry in his heart, and said in his heart: "This blessing is really in vain with him for so many years, and he doesn't know the seriousness of the matter." ”
Yan Yu was still smiling, and said unhurriedly: "Originally, the grass people shouldn't quibble in front of Lord Dong, but what Dong Shiye said is related to the credibility of my Mu Zhai, and the grass people really have no way not to defend one or two. Mu Zhai's reputation must be known to Master Dong, not to mention whether the little boy and Second Master Chen are acquainted, the grass people just want to remind the Tenth Master in front of Lord Dong that before Second Master Chen came to Mu Zhai, the little boy had been playing chess for nearly two hours, and the Tenth Master You have already lost a lot of silver in Mu Zhai. Dare to ask the tenth master, but did the second master of the Chen family or Mu Zhai invite you to go to Mu Zhai to place a bet? Could it be that the tenth master did not make a bet in Mu Zhai voluntarily at that time? “
Yan Yu felt that Dong Wenyi was just arguing with reason, and people did not force him to bet, nor did they force him to come to Muzhai to gamble.
Who is to blame for his loss? He can only blame his own poor willpower, just like those who sell their sons and daughters in the gambling house.
Although Yan Yu didn't know how to play chess, but the young master went for a long time first, could it be that all the people who went upstairs to play chess in those half days were his accomplices? If not, then so many people are all fools?
Otherwise, how could they make such a big bet when Second Master Chen appeared? It can't be said that those people are all members of the Second Master of the Chen family, they are just to defraud the Dong family of a mere 20,000 taels of silver, right?
Because there are a lot of people who ask for debts in this chess game, and the amount of money involved is large, Yan Yu has done his homework in advance.
He specially went to ask the chess master of Mu Zhai, and at that time, their chess master said that there was no problem with Chen Erye's chess, and he was still honored despite defeat.
Yan Yu said again: "If Lord Dong also thinks that Mu Zhai is accompanying Dong Gongzi and Chen Gongzi to fake together, the grass people can let Mu Zhai's chess master come to Dong Mansion and restore the game of chess for Lord Dong to see, but if Lord Dong thinks that Second Master Chen is cheating, we Mu Zhai will immediately leave the rules and do things." “
Yan Yu's words later were already a little ridiculous, this Dong family is nothing more than that, if the bet is lost, the bet will be lost, and the debt will be the debt, and he even found such a high-sounding reason, saying that Mu Zhai was cheating and cheating people out of money.
Where is Mu Zhai, how could he Dong Shengxing not know, but anyone with brains knows that what Dong Wenyi said is problematic.
Those who play chess are not stupid, if there is a problem with that chess, Muzhai's chess master and Jiang Ning's chess will have a long time ago.
Dong Shengxing looked at Yan Yu's smile that had not changed for a hundred years, and the more he looked at it, the more dazzling he felt, and he was directly annoyed and angry, and roared: "You lost the money in your own bet, but you came to blame someone's house, did Chen Mingxing force you to go to Muzhai? Or did he put a knife on your neck and force you to bet?"
Dong Shengxing has never been so embarrassed when he grows so big, but because of Dong Wenyi's stupid words, he was ridiculed by a pariah no, he looked at the two people behind him, he was ridiculed by these three untouchables.
The more Dong Shengxing thought about it, the more angry he became, his hands trembled a little angrily, and finally he shouted directly: "Pull him into the yard for me, beat him hard, no one is allowed to intercede, give me a hard beating." ”
Dong Shengxing was really angry, and he said twice and beat him hard.
Dong Wenyi was about to be beaten again when she heard it, so she directly fell on the ground and cried: "The son is wrong, the son knows that he is wrong, the father spares his life, the mother, the mother." ”
Yan Yu and the three of them watched as Dong Wenyi was dragged out.
Dong Shengxing just wanted these three people to leave his sight as soon as possible at this moment.
Dong Shengxing shouted: "Steward Li is here, Dong Quan, Dong Quan." “
Dong Shengxing saw Dong Quan coming in, and said directly: "Go and ask Steward Li to give them 20,000 taels of silver." ”
Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Dong Wenyi began to howl again in the courtyard, Feng Shi was dizzy when she heard it, she didn't know what Mu Zhai was doing at all, and she didn't understand why Dong Shengxing didn't believe her son's words, but gave the silver directly.
But when she listened to Dong Wenyi's scream, her heart began to hurt again.
Steward Li had just prepared 20,000 taels of silver tickets, which he had asked someone to exchange early this morning, and he still had a total of 40,000 taels of silver tickets in his hand, 1,000 taels and 1 taels, a total of 40.
Steward Li divided the silver ticket in his hand into two and went directly to Dongbian Hall with the silver ticket.
In this way, Yan Yu accepted the silver, and Steward Li accepted the IOU. The two sides also wrote notes confirming the correctness of IOUs and silver tickets.
Yan Yu walked out of the gate of the Dong family and exhaled a long breath, he finally let go of the big stone in his heart.
Outside the door, the three people who had successfully stopped the carriage of Zuixianglou were wandering at the door of Dong's house. They were a little anxious, and looked towards the side door of the Dong family from time to time.
Yan Yu saw the three people when he went out, and stepped forward directly: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored, I am fortunate not to be dishonored." “
Then he patted his chest and signaled that the silver ticket was here.
As soon as the six of them got on their horses, they saw another carriage coming.
One of the three carriages was a float, and a discerning person would know at a glance that it was the carriage in which the girl from Zuixianglou was sitting.
Mother Xiang of Zuixianglou did not come to Dong's house directly, because the IOU in her hand was signed with Wang Zihan and others, and the IOU of the eight people led by Wang Zihan was signed with Dong Wenyi. That's why she didn't go directly to the Dong family.
Wang Zihan and his entourage of seven or eight people sat in two carriages, they were very depressed, they didn't expect Mother Xiang to ask them for debts so quickly.
But Mother Xiang's people are already going to their house, and if this money is not given today, Mother Xiang will not give up.
It's just that they have 80,000 taels of silver, and Xiang's mother only has 40,000 taels, and their 40,000 taels are deceiving Dong Wenyi, and this matter can't be investigated, so no matter what, they can't let Xiang's mother's people find the Dong family.
