Chapter 55: Black, Really Black!!
The debt collection procession arrives at the gate of the Earl's Castle.
Lan Hesheng got down from the carriage and said to the castle guard at the door:
"Go and report to your earl, and say that the evergreen money village and a group of creditors have come to ask for debts!"
A soldier immediately ran into the castle.
Soon the soldier came back, and said in a stiff tone: "Our earl is sick, and he went to Anyuan City next door two days ago to see Doctor Ma, and he hasn't come back yet, so please go back." ”
"Hey, Jian Nanbo is a martial artist ninefold martial artist, his body is as strong as an ox, how can he say that he is sick when he is sick?
Moreover, if you don't get sick sooner or later, but you are sick at this juncture, and you go to Anyuan City for medical treatment, it shouldn't be that you deliberately avoid debts, right?" Lan Hesheng asked with a sneer.
The soldier did not answer him, and stood guard with his weapon in hand.
"That's right, Jian Nanbo must have a ghost when he is sick, he wants to repay his debts!"
"This must be the case, in the past few days, it has been rumored that Jian Nanbo and his wife have been borrowing money from the money banks, merchants, and nobles in Lingnan County, but no one is willing to lend money to Jian Nanbo, who is at the end of the road!"
"Jian Nanbo is so shameless, he didn't fulfill his promise and ran out to hide his debts!"
"What should we do?"
The creditors are talking.
In the end, they all looked at Lan Hesheng, after all, he was the biggest creditor.
"Shopkeeper Landa, what to do now, you have an idea!"
"Yes, Landa shopkeeper, now you are the backbone of all of us, you can take the idea!"
The creditors all felt that it was best to let the treasurer of Landa come up with an idea.
Lan Hesheng and the creditors did not know that Chen Lingxiao had obtained a large amount of gold coins from Shengyuan Village.
This is not to blame Lan Hesheng, after the death of Zhao Qingshan of Longsheng Qianzhuang, no one passed the news to Lin Tao on the side of Da'an City.
Moreover, according to Chen Lingxiao's request, Jian Nanbo specially explained to the shopkeeper of Shengyuan Qianzhuang's Jiannancheng Branch, asking him not to spread the news that Xue Tu had recovered from his illness and negotiated a business with the prince.
In this way, what happened in Shengyuan Qianzhuang in Da'an City, Lin Tao and others on the side of Jiannan City had no way of knowing.
Lan Hesheng heard the words of the creditors and fell into thought.
Last night, the Lingnan County Shouzhao saw him.
Lin Tao confessed that today he must collect the title deed of the earl's castle and the title of the salt mine, and drive Jiannanbo's family out of the castle, so that the morale of the earl's private army is low.
As for the purpose of the county guard's explanation, Lan Hesheng did not know.
The county guard doesn't say it, and he won't ask more, and some things are best if he doesn't know.
Lan Hesheng just needs to do what Lin Tao said.
In this way, not only will he have no loss, but he will wait for Lin Tao to enter the center of the royal court in the future, because this cooperative relationship will also be of great benefit to him.
Lan Hesheng thought about it for a while, and then decided to break into the Earl's Palace, his face was full of solemnity, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think Jian Nanbo did not leave the castle, he hid inside, deliberately not seeing us.
This debt drags on every day, and it is not a way, and it is natural to repay the debt, so I suggest that we rush into the Earl's Mansion and let Jian Nanbo pay off the debt. Today, settle this debt!"
As soon as these words come out, creditors, you look at me, and I look at you.
After a while, the creditors began to talk nonsense.
"Landa treasurer, the law of the Jin Kingdom stipulates that those who attack the nobles' mansions without permission have the right to expel them by force, and even more so, they can be killed on the spot!"
"Yes, Landa shopkeeper, we can't be shocked by this earl's mansion, and we are going to get into trouble!"
“......”
Eventually, these creditors were all gone.
Lan Hesheng didn't know about this law, but he still had to break in.
First, because Lin Tao has explained to the county guard, he must take the Earl's Castle today, and there must be a big move behind the county guard, and he can't harm his good deeds.
It can be said that he broke into the Earl's Palace, not only for himself and Qianzhuang, but also for Lingnan County, and the other party would definitely not care.
The second is that Jian Nanbo is not in debt first, even if he breaks into the earl's palace, Jian Nanbo does not dare to do anything with himself, if Jian Nanbo really dares to deal with the creditors, it is just an excuse for the royal court to send troops to suppress it.
The third is that he is the person in charge of the southwest branch of the Jinguo of the dignified Evergreen Qianzhuang, and Jian Nanbo dares to be unfavorable to him, and the Evergreen Business Alliance will also attack the Earl's Mansion, and the power of the Business Alliance is huge, even the Earl's Mansion can't compete with it.
Fourth, if you don't settle this debt today, once the time limit expires, I don't know when and when you will have to delay to get the money, and then the general manager of the money bank will blame it, and he can't afford it.
Fifth, this time he brought many creditors into the house together, and Jian Nanbo would definitely not dare to act rashly, so he could only obediently comply.
Lan Hesheng had already settled on the Earl's Palace, and said in a deep voice:
"What's not to do?
Jian Nan Bo was in debt first, and we didn't rebel when we broke into the Earl's Palace, but just wanted to get our money back.
It's only natural to pay off debts, so why not?
If you want to say that you have violated the rules, it is Jian Nanbo first.
In addition, I will immediately send someone to the City Lord's Mansion and let the City Lord come to administer justice to us, I think Jian Nanbo dares to do something to us?
In addition, have you ever thought that once today's deadline is over, we want to get back the arrears, and I don't know if we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!
As for how to make a decision, you will do it yourself, and those who go to the house with the treasurer to ask for debts will stand behind me. ”
After Lan Hesheng finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out and stood in the open space on the left.
At the same time, a capable subordinate went straight to the City Lord's Mansion in Jiannan City to find Zhou Feng.
The creditors present, after a fierce struggle in their hearts, two people walked out and stood behind Lan Hesheng.
These two are Du's maiden relatives, cousin Du Haishan and nephew Du Rutao.
"Everyone, don't hesitate, if we hesitate any longer, our money will be gone!" Du Haishan said.
At the height of the castle, Du Shi, who saw this scene, hated it.
Chen Lingxiao is optimistic.
Someone set a precedent, and then many people joined Lan Hesheng's queue one after another.
After the tea time, no one stayed where they were, and all the creditors chose to break into the Earl's Court.
Between danger and money, they chose the latter.
"Okay, everyone has made the wisest choice, let's go!"
Lan Hesheng glanced around at all the creditors, waved his big hand, and took the lead in striding towards the Earl's Castle.
The creditors followed closely, fearing that if they slowed down, the contents of the Earl's Court would be robbed.
"What do you want to do, this is the Earl's Court, do you want to break in?" shouted the soldiers on guard.
"Hmph! Jian Nanbo doesn't pay his debts, he is treacherous, we want Jian Nanbo, give us an explanation, get out of the way!"
"Let's go inside!"
“......”
For a moment, the guards pushed and shoved with the creditors.
Chen Lingxiao, who was standing at the height of the castle, saw this scene, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Heaven has a way, you don't go, hell has no door but you come to break in!
That little master will fulfill you today!
"Ling Xiao, what should I do next?" Chen Ruoxi said slightly nervously.
Chen Lingxiao grinned and said, "Close the door and beat the dog!"
After speaking, he was the first to walk down from the top of the castle.
The soldiers guarding the gate finally did not stop Lan Hesheng and other creditors, and let them rush into the earl's palace.
When the last creditor rushed in, a mocking voice suddenly sounded:
"Closing the door and trespassing on the Earl's Palace, according to Article 79 of the Law of the Jin Kingdom, the Earl's Palace has the right to expel by force, if the expulsion fails, it has the right to kill and beat the master to death!"
