On August 16, the yamen was opened normally.

Jia Rui walked around the eastern city and arrived at the yamen.

As soon as he entered the hospital, Wang Yimu greeted him.

"Commander, you're finally here."

"Is there anything urgent?"

"The people from Jingying, the people from Shuntianfu, and Shangbaosi Liu Gonggong are all here."

What are they doing here all of a sudden?

These companies all owe money to the merchants of the East Fourth Pai Building, are they here to repay the money?

I wouldn't be so self-conscious.

"Did they say they meant?"

"No, I said I was looking for you. I told Ni Er to go out and find you. ”

"I went around and didn't see him."

When I got to the house, the first thing I saw was Eunuch Liu. The last time I checked the private salt in the middle of the summer, Eunuch Liu had also come here.

"Tianxiang, where are you going, let our family wait."

"Father-in-law Liu, I'll go around the jurisdiction and keep you waiting."

"Forget it, you're welcome. These two are from Suncheonfu and Gyeongyeong. I came here today to owe the money to those market households in the East Fourth Pailou Market. ”

"If you want to talk about this, it's all a misunderstanding. No one remembers the old accounts from a few years ago. Later, you competed with Guozijian and said that there were still a few things about us, so let's go back and check it. ”

"Don't say it, this check really found out the debt. For we also owe them money. ”

"Killing people pays for their lives, and debts are repaid, as has always been the case. How can you not pay it back? It's all because of the unfavorable handling of his subordinates, and he is only in arrears for a few days. ”

"No, as soon as we find out, we will all come to pay back. This is our money, and I don't care about the two of them. ”

Eunuch Liu took out the silver ticket from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"I also came to repay the money, but it was the incompetence of my subordinates that led to this. This matter has alarmed the king of the festival. ”

"Lord Wang was very angry and told us to pay back the money immediately. I came to send money early this morning, and I asked Commander Jia to laugh. ”

"This matter is a pure misunderstanding, Commander Jia is Lord Wang's nephew, how dare we not give you face? I also ask Commander Jia for forgiveness. ”

Then there was the performance of the people of Shuntianfu, which was nothing more than the disadvantage of his subordinates, and the Yin of Shuntianfu was furious and ordered to repay the money immediately.

Jia Rui was angry with the shopkeeper and didn't plan to help ask for the money.

Unexpectedly, they didn't want it, they took the initiative to send it to the door.

In that case, there is no reason not to accept it. So he found the IOU, wrote the receipt, and accepted the money.

At this point, all the money of the shopkeeper Luo and the others has been recovered, and the interest of the past few years has been added.

After sending a few people away, Jia Rui and Wang Yimu returned to the office.

"I really didn't expect them to take the initiative to send the money. It seems that the emperor did speak. ”

Jia Rui had heard Deputy Superintendent Zuo say before that the emperor had asked the yamen to repay the money, and now it can be regarded as a verification.

"The emperor's speech is one, and it is not excluded that they are afraid of making a fool of themselves. Last time, Guozijian let the commander lose face, and Sven swept the floor, and they were afraid that the commander would repeat his old tricks on them, so they obediently sent money. ”

"That's not necessarily, the country is good at bullying, and these families are not so easy to comply. Either way, it's a good thing that the money is given. ”

"It must be so, if the commander doesn't believe it, he will know it in two days."

"The matter of the yamen owing money is not only in our Dongcheng, but also in any urban district. Just look at whether other urban areas pay back, and you will know when the time comes. ”

It makes sense.

"The rest of the city is none of our business. I made good on that promise, and I was not ashamed. If something like this happens in the future, don't care about it anymore. ”

Wang Yimu smiled: "One by one, what they say is good, and they owe debts to repay money, but they haven't paid it back for several years." Now even the yamen is like this, alas, don't talk about it. ”

As he was talking, Zheng Tianlun came in, saw the silver ticket on the table, and looked at Jia Rui.

"Rich again?"

This guy, what kind of psychology, where is it so easy to get rich, you should be picking up money.

"It's not our money, it's back to the shopkeeper."

And the king told him what had happened.

"So, the money is coming back? With so much money, it's a pity to give them a little bit. ”

"Then keep the interest and return the principal to them."

Jarry made the final decision.

"Yes, that's how it should be. We are challenging the Guozijian again, and we are arresting Li guerrillas, so we should have some hard-earned money. ”

Zheng Tianlun immediately agreed, and Wang Yimu also agreed.

"By the way, the commander should also give the three maids a little reward, and they can't be allowed to work in vain. Let's be generous, and give two taels of silver to each person. ”

Jia Rui looked at Wang Zhimu and sighed in his heart.

Poverty limits your imagination, and it's not enough in the end.

is also generous, only two taels of silver.

Qingwen may be happy for a while if she gets this money.

Put it to Daiyu and Miaoyu, Daiyu will probably politely excuse herself. As for Miaoyu, if she doesn't throw the silver in my face, even if she gives me face.

The money is calculated in units of 10,000 taels.

Now that the money is all in place, it should be returned to those city households.

This can be regarded as a face-showing thing, so Jia Rui, Zheng Tianlun, and Wang Yimu went to the East Fourth Pailou Market to repay the money together.

When I arrived at Zuihualou, I found Shopkeeper Luo.

"Shopkeeper Luo, the money is coming back, you gather everyone over and hand over the money in person."

"Thank you, gentlemen, you saved our lives."

Bastard, if you still want to buy a concubine, you won't be able to live, you can't believe the words of these guys.

Profiteers, profiteers, there is still truth to this.

"Let's go find someone, we're busy."

"Yes, the little ones are going. Hurry up and make tea, the benefactor is here, and there is no look at all. ”

Jia Rui and a few people were drinking tea, and Zheng Tianlun suddenly touched Jia Rui.

"Tianxiang, look at the two people at that table? The table by the window. ”

As soon as Jia Rui looked, he saw that the two people over there were eating, occasionally whispering something.

"What's wrong? What's weird? ”

Jia Rui didn't think there was anything unusual about the two of them.

"Tatars."

No way? What are the Tatars doing here?

Although the Tatars also did business with Dade, they were generally confined to a few inter-market markets on the border, with the largest number of them in Ping'an Prefecture.

Of course, the border between the two countries is long, and there is no precise demarcation line, and it is normal for the border residents of the two countries to do some transactions privately.

The amount of such transactions was small, difficult to supervise, and the imperial court was too lazy to care.

In any case, it is extremely rare for Tatars to come directly to the capital of Dade to do business. Besides, the two are still dressed in Hanfu, which is even more suspicious.

"You're right?"

"Look at their clothes, although they are Hanfu, they are full of greasy, and that is the trace left by wiping their hands."

"Look at their dishes, except for meat or meat, this is the custom of the Tatars. How can the Han people be like this? ”
