Chapter 153: I want to repay the debt
Mama Chang looked in the direction pointed by the two people, and saw a few middle-aged strong men in front of the Hou Mansion, sitting or lying with a salivating face, blocking the gate of the Hou Mansion tightly, and those people were still shouting: "...... Let's take a look, this Xue Sanye in the Guangping Marquis Mansion borrowed a few 30,000 taels of silver from our brothers, and now he doesn't pay back the silver, and he still hides in this Hou Mansion and doesn't dare to come out to meet people, and now we are here to ask for debts......"
The big man with a scarred face at the head shook a few IOUs in his hand, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the stone lion in front of the Hou Mansion: "What is the loss of the third master of the Hou Mansion, a merry and talented man, and an official of the Hanlin Academy, I don't know the matter of debt repayment, this son is like a turtle grandson who hides in the Hou Mansion and doesn't even dare to show his head, it really makes grandpa I look down on him!" ”
Mama Chang was dumbfounded when she heard the 30,000 taels of silver, and hurriedly turned around and squeezed towards the carriage, not caring about decency, she opened the curtain of the carriage and shouted: "Old lady, it's not good, it's not good!" ”
Before Old Madam Xue could speak, she trembled and pointed to the front of the Hou Mansion: "There are several people over there who have come to the Hou Mansion to collect debts, and they said yes, saying that the third master borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from them, and now they have come to ask for silver!" ”
Old Madam Xue's eyes widened, staring at Mama Chang: "How much silver do you say you owe?" ”
Mama Chang swallowed her saliva and repeated honestly: "Thirty thousand taels!" ”
"Thirty thousand taels!" Old Madam Xue was like a cat whose tail had been trampled, and she almost jumped off the carriage, "How could the third child borrow 30,000 taels of silver from someone else!" That's 30,000 taels! Even the Hou Mansion can be bought! ”
Mama Chang cried with a sad face: "But the person who came to collect the debt took a few IOUs, and now he is making a fuss in front of the house." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
She looked at Old Madam Xue's dark face, and said in a low voice: "That person also said that the third master didn't dare to show his face and hid in the Hou Mansion." ”
"Nonsense!" Old Madam Xue said sharply, "The third child is going to the court meeting today, how can he still be in the Hou Mansion, those people just want to blackmail!" ”
She struggled to get out of the carriage, and commanded loudly: "Go to the official, go to the Shuntianfu to report to the official, and let the yacha come and take these people!" ”
Mama Chang was frightened by her angry appearance, but she still whispered: "Old lady, it's better to go over and take a look, if someone really blackmails someone, it's not too late for someone to report to the official." Although she was confused, she also knew that this was the Marquis of Guangping's mansion, and if ordinary people really wanted to blackmail, they wouldn't dare to find the prince's house to make trouble, not to mention that those people had a few IOUs in their hands, and they couldn't figure out whether it was true or false.
Mrs. Xue got out of the carriage, and angrily took Mama Chang and a few girls to the door of the Hou Mansion, and the mother-in-law pushed through the crowd, and the people who were idle and watching the excitement on the side all pointed and said: "Look, the old lady of the Hou Mansion of Guangping is here, let's see what to say." ”
Several strong men watched Old Madam Xue come over, and got up from the ground with a bone, but instead of bluffing the ground and retreating as Old Madam Xue thought, they strode forward and looked Old Madam Xue and the girls around her up and down with bad intentions: "You are the old lady of the Hou Mansion?" ”
Mama Chang hurriedly stood in front of Mrs. Xue, and shouted at those people with courage: "You people are so bold, you don't kneel down when you see the old lady!" ”
Old Madam Xue snorted coldly and stared at the man who was the leader: "Since you know that this is the Hou Mansion, you still dare to mess around here, and you actually want to come to the Hou Mansion to blackmail, it is really bold, I have already called someone to report to the official, and I will definitely take all of you to the Shuntian Mansion in a while." ”
The strong men were stunned, and laughed: "It's okay to report to the official, this debt repayment is a matter of course, since you plan to repay the debt, then let the official judge evaluate it, is it possible that the Hou Mansion does not have to pay back the borrowed silver?" As he spoke, he shouted to the crowd watching the excitement, "Do you think that's reasonable?" ”
This group of people gathered in front of the Hou Mansion to watch the excitement, most of them are people in the Chongjiaofang Hutong, in the past, they were bullied and coerced by the people of the Hou Mansion of Guangping, this time it is easy to see that the Hou Mansion of Guangping has lost such a big face, naturally they are full of joy, and when they hear the strong man asking, they all laugh and coax: "No, the debt should be repaid......
"Is there no royal law in the Hou Mansion, and if you owe the money and don't pay it back to the official, it is difficult to dare to help you!"
Mrs. Xue said something righteously, but she didn't expect it to be such an effect, she was so angry, she gritted her teeth and said to those people who looked like bastards in the market: "You said that the third child borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from you, do you have a certificate?" How can someone from my mansion borrow money from you! ”
The strong man smiled slickly: "The old lady's words are not right, when anyone goes out and doesn't have a little silver, Xue Sanye clearly wrote me an IOU, and the IOUs are all here, how can I say that I didn't borrow it." ”
Old Madam Xue glanced at Mama Chang, Mama Chang hurriedly walked over, stretched out her head to look at the strong man's hand, and saw a stack of IOUs in his hand, writing silver ranging from a few hundred taels to several thousand taels, handwriting, but the pen was a little sloppy, as if it was written when he was very anxious.
Mama Chang looked at the IOUs, her face turned white in an instant, she naturally recognized that the handwriting on the IOUs was written by Xue Wenhao himself, and it would never be wrong. She slowly raised her head and looked at Mrs. Xue, who was waiting impatiently, her panicked look could not be concealed, and she said to Mrs. Xue with a trembling mouth: "Old lady, this, this is written ......by the third master" It is not okay not to admit it, if you make trouble and report to the official, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to hide.
Old Madam Xue was originally sure that these bastards were here to mess around and blackmail, and just waited for Mama Chang to take a look at the so-called IOUs, and she was about to call someone to report to the official, so she didn't believe that her third child would borrow money from such people, or borrowed as much as 30,000 taels, but she never expected Mama Chang to say that those IOUs were really written by Xue Wenhao, and her face changed for a while, and she was speechless.
The strong man laughed when he saw Old Madam Xue's dumbfounded appearance, let out a mouthful of phlegm, and spit in front of Old Madam Xue: "Since you can see it clearly, then give away all the silver, 30,000 taels and one taels are not less, give it to me, and I will return this IOU to you." Saying that, he picked his teeth, "Otherwise, let's report to the official, and wait for everyone in Kyoto to know that the Marquis of Guangping borrowed money and wanted to repay the debt!" ”
