Chapter 157: Debt Collection

After learning about the situation from a few officials, Chen Xiao probably also understood his situation.

I can't help but feel that the emperor did it on purpose? Give yourself such an awkward and dangerous position?

Actually, I really misunderstood the emperor.

The emperor stood at the top, how did he know that there was only a six-grade chief position, and there were so many deceits?

He just thinks that this is a department in charge of money, and the principal is relatively idle, so he will go if he has something, and he doesn't need to report it to the household department if he has nothing to do.

I still think about it, let Chen Xiao relax!

But where is Chen Xiao relaxed now? He looked sad, thinking that if he didn't figure out these accounts, he would become a back-stabber.

So, when he returned to the main hall, he sorted all the problematic accounts and debit books on the table, and prepared them for him to deal with one by one.

Fake accounts caused by corruption are not easy to get, so you have to take your time to understand them.

The best thing to get is the ones that are borrowed, and he can collect the debts!

So, I brought the books I borrowed, and according to the time, I was going to go to the Dingyuan Bo Zhou Zheng to collect the five hundred taels first.

After coming out with the account book, Chen Xiao found a few officials from the Ministry of Finance, and then went to Dingyuan Bofu.

Generally, those who are knighted have military merits.

This Uncle Dingyuan was also a general, made meritorious contributions, and was knighted.

It stands to reason that he has a lot of money, and there are some people in special fiefs who pay taxes to him.

How can you borrow money?

Of course, this is not something that Chen Xiao has to consider.

When he arrived at Dingyuan Bo's Mansion, the little official stepped forward to inform the doorkeeper, and the doorman went in to report.

After a while, please Chen Xiao in!

As soon as Chen Xiao entered the Dingyuan Uncle's Mansion, in the front hall, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face walked over and said with a smile: "Nephew Chen Xian, haha, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Chen Xiao looked at the middle-aged man and thought to himself, are we very familiar?

But he also smiled and said, "Uncle, I came to visit my uncle today, by the way, uncle, do you know me?" ”

"Nephew Chen Xian, the last time you had a banquet in the palace, you performed amazingly, both civil and military, how could you not know each other?" Ding Yuanbo said.

Chen Xiao suddenly realized, it seems that he still has some names.

At least this uncle is still very face-saving.

But think about it, I was in the palace that day, I obviously had a special relationship with the emperor, and I had feelings for the emperor's favorite daughter, ordinary people naturally didn't want to offend Chen Xiao.

"By the way, nephew Chen Xian, what are you doing in the house today? I see that you are still a little official and wearing an official uniform, you shouldn't be here to play, right? Uncle Dingyuan asked politely.

Chen Xiao smiled embarrassedly, people were so warm and polite, but he came to ask for money, it was really ...... Have a bone in one's throat!

"This ...... Hehe, that's right, isn't it, I'm in charge of the Ministry of Household Finance......"

Uncle Ding Yuan said: "I heard it! ”

"The above explained the task, saying that it was to collect the money that the officials had borrowed from the household department over the years, but this is not it, I am here!" Chen Xiao said.

Uncle Nading Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Virtuous nephew...... Are you here to ask for an account? ”

Chen Xiao said: "Yes, Uncle shouldn't owe debts, right?" After all, I have always heard that my uncle's character is excellent, and I think that over the years, my uncle should have forgotten to release the money he borrowed on a whim.

This itself is a small amount, the uncle is joking, if you borrow it, it's normal to forget it! However, I still have to remind you, after all, this money is a small amount of money to the uncle, but it is not a lot of money for the household! ”

In a few words, he raised the uncle again, and gave the uncle the steps down, and explained that this amount of money is very small, so he will not be able to pay it back.

In short, from all angles, Uncle Dingyuan has no way to refuse.

Uncle Dingyuan saw that Chen Xiao had said everything, and he really had no face if he didn't change it, besides, Chen Xiao had a special identity in his opinion, so there was no need to offend Chen Xiao for five hundred taels.

So he laughed and said: "Look at my memory, there is indeed this thing, I borrowed it for fun at the beginning, but now if you don't say it, I have forgotten, come and give Chen Xiaoxian's nephew five hundred taels of silver!" ”

After a while, the five hundred taels of silver arrived, Chen Xiao looked at it, let the little official take it, and then said a few polite words to the uncle, and left.

After looking at the account book, next, go to the Zhenyuan General's Mansion!

It didn't take long to arrive, Zhenyuan General's Mansion, after entering, a black and thin middle-aged man with a scar on his face glanced at Chen Xiao and said lightly:

"Director Chen, I don't know why I came to my General's Mansion?"

Chen Xiao saw that his words were plain, and he was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "This official has an account in his hand, which records that the general borrowed one hundred taels of silver from the household department a few years ago, so I want the general to pay it back!" ”

"You came to the General's Mansion to collect the debts?" Zhao Dajin frowned.

Chen Xiao said lightly: "It is natural to repay debts, not to mention, you borrowed from the household, how can there be any reason not to repay this money?" ”

"Heh, just a hundred taels of silver, you are embarrassed to come!" Zhao Dajin sneered.

Chen Xiao also sneered: "Just one hundred taels of silver, you are embarrassed to borrow it!" ”

In an instant, Zhao Dajin's face became gloomy, stared at Chen Xiao and said:

"What did you say?"

Chen Xiao was not afraid at all, raised his voice and said, "I said, just a hundred taels of silver, as a general, you are embarrassed to borrow it." You're embarrassed to borrow, but you're embarrassed not to pay it back, admire and admire! ”

"Bastard, are you taunting me?" Zhao Dajin said angrily.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Isn't it obvious that I'm mocking?" ”

"You are looking for death, a mere sixth-grade official, dare to have such an attitude towards me, a third-grade general?" Zhao Dajin looked angry!

"Attitude? You figured it out, between us now, it is the relationship between the creditor and the debtor, and if you don't pay back the money, is it reasonable? Just a hundred taels of silver, your housekeeper can pay it back, you won't pay it back, right? So poor? No way? ”

Chen Xiao made an extremely exaggerated expression.

Zhao Dajin clenched his fists and said angrily: "Lao Tzu has money, but if he doesn't pay it back, what can you do?" ”

"Don't blow it, if you had money, you wouldn't have borrowed a hundred taels of silver a few years ago. If you have money, you can't pay it back? Seriously, Lao Tzu now earns thousands of taels of silver a day in several restaurants.

I've earned a hundred taels of time on the way to you. You are still grinding with me here for a mere hundred taels, really, I don't think it's worth it, it's a loss. ”

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Zhao Dajin was even more angry, he was looked down upon by Chen Xiao?

"General Ben said, I have money and I don't want to pay it back, how are you?" Zhao Dajin said angrily.

Chen Xiao laughed disdainfully: "You have money? You say you're rich? Haha, okay, okay, just when you have money, let's say you still have to do it, hahaha, that one hundred taels, it's a big deal. ”

Chen Xiao said, he squeezed his eyebrows at a few small officials, and said, "He said he has money?" Hahaha......"

As he spoke, he was leaving.

Zhao Dajin was angry when he saw this, and said, "What do you mean? Do you look down on me? Do you think I don't have any money? ”

"No, no, no, you have money, you are a dignified general, how can you have no money? I'll just treat you as rich as well, let's go! ”

With that, Chen Xiao was about to leave.

Then Zhao Dajin became more and more uncomfortable, and said with a pale face: "What do you mean by standing still and being very rich?" Lao Tzu is already very rich, you can make it clear to me! ”

Chen Xiao turned around and said helplessly: "Where is the general next door?" I don't want that one hundred taels of silver, and it's not easy for you, alas, I'm quite rich anyway, I'll help you figure it out! ”

Zhao Dajin seemed to have been stepped on by his tail, and said with a white face:

"Who wants you to pad for me? I have money, and I will pay it back myself! ”
