Ma Miao looked very frightened, he shook his head frantically and said: "No, this shop was left to me by my father, Brother Liu, you give me a few more days, and I will definitely pay back the money in a few days!" ”

"How many days will I give you mercy, and who will give you mercy? If you don't come back with that one hundred and eighty taels of silver, my master has lost patience with me, and you will either pay back the money today or get out of this shop! ”

Liu Mian spat in the pot that fell to the ground, Ma Miao is the most difficult one among the people he collects interest, you say he has money, he doesn't have half a child, you say he has no money, there is a small shop in Beicheng.

Liu Mian is really difficult to do, what he hasn't been able to do for a few years, I don't know what happened by the master, not to mention that he had to pay for the hole by himself after being beaten with a few whips, but it was not that the master wanted the one hundred and eighty taels, but that the master was punishing him for not doing things well.

Speaking of the master, Liu Mian shuddered coldly, that is the child of one of the best powerful families in the capital, although he was born to the wife of the partial house, and was suppressed by the eldest young master everywhere, but he is still a real second young master, he does not have to manage the affairs of the house and there is a lot of silver to spend, which in Liu Mian's opinion, why not do it, but the master is unwilling, he always thinks about the second room to be on top, and then his personality gradually becomes distorted......

Just yesterday, the master suddenly found Liu Mian, returned the more than 90 taels of silver and gave Liu Mian an additional more than 1,000 taels......

Yu Youjun saw that this person's attitude was really bad, but judging from the lines, Ma Miao still suffered a little, he frowned, got up and said, "This little brother, what happened, what money does Ma Miao owe you?" We can compensate for that. ”

Gongsun Jian was also confused, this Ma Miao looked kind and honest, how could he owe others money for no reason, this one hundred and eighty taels was nothing in the eyes of Gongsun and Yu, but for a person like Ma Miao who made a small living, it was a huge amount of money.

Now it's not a matter of money or money, Liu Mian just came to find trouble and take down the shop, when he heard that someone wanted to meddle in things, he glared, "Who is your brother?" Don't mess around! ”

Then Liu Mian scolded again: "Ma Miao, if you can't afford to pay back the money, you can find a helper, right!" ”

Before the words fell, the two people behind Liu Mian walked up holding knives.

Gongsun Jian saw that this was okay! The little evil servant dares to kick his nose in the face! He slapped the wooden table, the big knife fell into his hand, and with a crisp knife drawing sound, Gongsun Jian was in front of him, and his eyes were wide open!

"Don't!"

Ma Miao hurriedly grabbed Gongsun Jian, "Don't move the knife, don't move the knife, little brother, the fault lies with me, I can't afford the ninety-eight taels of silver, it's better to give them the shop, I'll go to Zhongzhou with you, and I hope Uncle Yu doesn't mind." ”

Liu Mian grinned and said: "It's better for you to go to the road, go and get the title deed, and Lao Tzu will give you another fifty taels as travel expenses!" ”

Yu Youjun pressed his palm, signaling Ma Miao not to be anxious, this shop is located in the city gate of the north city, although it is not as good as the city shop, but the flow of people at the city gate is also very large, the shop in the city can do big business and make a lot of money, and the small shop at the city gate also has a small shop to make money, just say that this cold tofu, if the business is good, it has played a signboard, plus most of the people who enter the city are tired, there will be many people to eat a bowl to relieve the sullenness in their hearts.

It's just a small ninety-eight taels of silver, and it is obviously not worth it to exchange the title deed.

Liu Mian didn't know what the hell this guy was doing, but the master said that he couldn't have friction with people, and he could only make money by being kind, so he pulled a small bench by himself, sat in front of the stove and warmed up, and muttered in his mouth, "You two boys, come up and kick other people's stoves, you could have rubbed two bowls of tofu to eat, but now it's okay, just wait." ”

The two lackeys nodded with a smile on their faces.

Liu Mian's tone seemed to blame the two subordinates, but the mockery in it was overflowing.

"Come on, if you can't eat, you can't eat, you can discuss it well, you must give me the result today, if Ma Miao can't get ninety-eight taels of silver today, I will take this store away."

Ma Miao's heart was like ashes when he heard it, this shop couldn't be saved, ninety-eight taels was an astronomical amount for him, even if he asked his neighbors to borrow it, he couldn't find all the neighbors and couldn't make up eight taels of silver.

Yu Youjun waved his hand, "Ma Miao, don't worry, tell me, how did you owe him so much silver?" ”

"How do you owe? It's not his dying father, you said that the old immortal eyes will be over as soon as he closes his legs and kicks it, so he has to keep a breath to torture his son, and he borrowed a full ninety-eight taels of silver from Young Master Liu back and forth, and only now he has only repaid the interest. ”

"Interest?"

Gongsun Jian was a little puzzled, what interest had not been repaid for a few years, he was still curious just now, it was less than a hundred taels of silver, even if Ma Miao's small shop was deserted, it would not be impossible to earn a hundred taels of silver for a few years, if this was the case, then there was no need for him to open it again.

Gongsun Jian asked, "It's been a long time, how much interest can be paid for ninety-eight taels of silver?" At most, more than 900 wen a year, less than one or two pieces of silver, how can it be that the interest has not been paid off until now? ”

Liu Mian sneered, listening to the accents of these two people, he was not a local, and naturally he didn't know Young Master Liu's rules, he crossed Erlang's legs, and grabbed a handful of peanuts very casually, just like in his own home, not polite at all.

Liu Mian said: "More than 900 texts? Are you calling Hanako? Do you know Young Master Liu's rules? Ma Miao, you tell these two outsiders, is what Lao Tzu said right? ”

Ma Miao looked sad, he pursed his dry lips, "Brother Liu is right, this interest has not been paid off yet......"

"That's it, Ma Miao's interest hasn't been repaid yet, I'll just let him repay the principal, which is equivalent to this year's interest doesn't have to be given, Lao Tzu is doing a good deed, you two don't meddle anymore."

Yu Youjun was well-informed, looking at Ma Miao's dumb face, eating Coptis chinensis, with an indescribable expression, he opened his mouth and asked, "How much is the interest?" ”

Liu Mian pursed his lips and did not reply, his patience for these two sudden outliers was almost worn out.

Ma Miao said in a trembling voice: "Four points ......"

"Four?"

Yu Youjun stood up fiercely, his eyes widened, "Four points of profit!" Ninety-eight taels have to be repaid three dollars a day! Nearly one hundred and fifty taels of silver a year! ”

"Yo, you're pretty knowledgeable."

Liu Mian clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since you know how much you have to pay back the four cents, you also know that I didn't embarrass him, right?" Murder to pay off debts and pay off debts, it is justified! If you don't have any money, you will take the shop, it just so happens that you didn't say anything to go to Zhongzhou, you kid hurry up, Lao Tzu will have a headache when he sees you here, and the ninety-eight taels of silver have dragged on for three or four years, and you have to do it. ”

Liu Mian said directly about the cool words.

Yu Youjun looked back at Ma Miao, "Even if this cold tofu shop is not good, it can be paid off in a year, right?" ”

Ma Miao's expression was bitter, and he said helplessly: "Since my father left, the taste I made in the small shop is far from my father's, and I can't sell it for five yuan a day. ”

Yu Youjun pondered, it's not that he can't take out this money, but the interest is too high, if it is not a matter of interest, Ma Miao will definitely be able to pay it off, but if he draws interest every day, there is some suspicion of being a peerless portal, this method is called "sitting on the ground", it is to raise the debtor as a money ticket, so that the debtor has to repay the interest every day, and it is impossible to make up the capital, and the creditor can continue to collect the money until the debtor's family is ruined, this method is really too bad.

Yu Youjun said in a deep voice: "According to the law of the Great Zhou, borrowing silver and lending silver shall not exceed three points of interest, otherwise it will be regarded as disturbing the peace of one party and being punished with thieves, which is not a small crime." ”

Liu Mian smiled, as if he expected Yu Youjun to say this, his eyes were sinister and scary, "This brother, don't scare me, I was scared since I was a child, this is our Young Master Liu's rules, the whole capital knows that the law is the law, and we small people should abide by it, but we also have rules, and this rule is here, and no one forces you to borrow money, right?" If you borrow it, you have to act according to the rules, this is all signed and drawn, even if you sue the official master, the white, black and red handprints are here, since the brother knows the law of the Great Zhou, he must also understand the importance of signing and drawing, right? ”

After speaking, Liu Mian took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which was an IOU, with a handprint and name of the signature and drawing.

Yu Youjun sighed, what Liu Mian said was not leaky, and the physical evidence was also there, so he had no words to refute. Although the law of the Great Zhou is supreme, but this signature is outside the law of the Great Zhou, which is almost a hole in the law, for example, the Great Zhou does not allow unwarranted murder and human trafficking, but others sign the deed of sale and life and death, and the law of the Great Zhou cannot control it.

Debt repayment, it is a matter of course, Yu Youjun has no choice at all, he shook his head helplessly and said to those creditors: "It's not long after the beginning of the year, I'll pay back the principal with interest for him, there are about more than a hundred taels here, you take it, don't embarrass Ma Miao in the future." ”

Liu Mian got up, looked at the money bag on the table with a strange expression, he didn't reach out to take it, this time he shot a hundred taels of silver, to say something that Liu Mian didn't want to admit, he was shocked.

Gongsun Jian saw Liu Mian get up, grabbed the handle of the knife and got up together, looking at the three people in front of him with a cold look.

Since Gongsun Jian took the lead in holding the knife, the two subordinates behind Liu Mian were not to be outdone, they clenched the knife and took two steps forward, with a look of disdain and arrogance, the two of them really didn't believe that anyone dared to move a knife in the capital, and lost the face of Young Master Liu.

"His grandmother's!"

Gongsun Jian can be regarded as crawling out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, seeing that these two lackeys are so arrogant, he scolded, and just wanted to go up and chop these two things that don't know whether they are dead or alive, but he didn't want Liu Mian to beckon in advance, and the two lackeys retreated stupidly.

Liu Mian laughed, he thought that these two people were nothing more than that kind of people in the rivers and lakes, and when they came to the capital, they happened to encounter this kind of thing, and they wanted to pull out their swords to help, but now it seems that these two people have a lot of experience. He looked at these two people carefully, the older ones had an indifferent expression, and there was a faint smell of blood, he was definitely a master who dared to kill, and he didn't feel sorry for the more than 100 taels of silver at all, he must not be the kind of chivalrous man who seems to be romantic but can't eat enough.

The younger one glared at him, and the knife in his hand didn't let go, and the smell of blood on his body was as good as that of the middle-aged man, and it was a little sharper.

Liu Mian, who has been in the line of "donkey rolling" for so many years, also has some ways to look at people, and at this moment he is beating a drum in his heart, and subconsciously tells him that these two people are not easy to mess with.

Liu Mian laughed dryly, "I don't know what the relationship between the two of you and Ma Miao is, if you are just a passerby, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, and if you leave, after the younger brother accepts this shop, he will also do his best to drink a few glasses with the two of them." If you have to do more, maybe I can't do anything about the two, but I can be the second young master of Liufu, and the people who offend will not end well. ”
