Chapter 282: Restlessness (continued)
A few splashes were yelled at by Wu Dou like this, and their whole bodies trembled with fright, and then they had the courage to start shouting: "It's natural to repay debts, no matter how ruthless you are, you have to pay back the money you owe!" ”
"That's it, if you dare not pay back the money, we will go to sue the official and let the government clean you up!"
"The men are caught and sent to the bitter kiln to be coolies, and the women are caught to be little ladies in the music workshop!"
"If you dare not pay back, the Buddha will let you go to hell, and you will not be reborn forever!"
Wu Dou's gaze was as sharp as a sharp knife, sweeping over these splashes, making the other party's voice smaller and quieter, and when the other party began to curse them for "never being able to live forever", he laughed again.
"Money, Lao Tzu can't afford it, life, but there is a rotten life, who dares to collect debts again, you can, take my life away!!"
A few pimpling dogs like tigers, all of them dare not squeak, they are thugs who obey the orders of a certain temple, and are specifically responsible for debt collection, of course, if they make a fuss and are arrested by the government, they will never confess to the merciful and compassionate master.
They came to collect debts today, the creditor is this Wu Dou's person, Wu Dou is a notoriously ruthless person, and several brothers are stinky soldiers, and the people who have been collecting debts in the past few months have been beaten by the other party.
Before they set off today, the Lord released cruel words: If you don't make money today, you will cut off a finger.
However, if this Wu Dou is beckoned to his head with a stick, his life is gone, what is a finger?
But it really hurts to chop your fingers!
Just as they were hesitating, footsteps sounded, and the splashers turned their heads to look, but saw a group of men coming over, all holding sticks and dustpans in their hands, and they were violent, and it seemed that the people who came were not good.
These people are the same as Wu Dou, dressed in shabby military uniforms, they should also be fighting men, they may be the rescuers invited by Wu Dou, and the splashes are about to slip away from the other side when they see that the situation is not good, but they see that the person in charge is somewhat familiar.
"Ouch, this isn't a big bucktooth... Brother Liu! ”
The pranksters couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw their acquaintances, this was the thug arranged by the master, and before setting off today, they specially let this soldier with big buck teeth meet with them.
"It's him, it's him, he doesn't pay off his debts, we persuade each other with good words, and he still beats people!"
"Alright, you guys go first." Big bucktooth suddenly spoke, these splashes were stunned for a moment when they heard the words, and they were just about to return the mouth, but they were glared at by the other party, and they lost their temper in an instant, and ran away in disgrace.
Da Bucktooth stopped, also signaled his companion to stop, stepped forward alone, and said hello to Wu Dou who was blocking the gate of the courtyard: "I accept people's money and eliminate disasters with people, as soon as I hear the address of the other party, I know that it is Lao Wu." ”
"What, you're here today to ask for a debt?"
Faced with Wu Dou's question, Da Luoya smiled and waved his hand: "What kind of debt do you want, they are all comrades who were born and died together, a brother who eats in the kettle, it's a big deal, I don't want to return the money." ”
Seeing Wu Dou looking at himself with a wary face, Da Luoya threw the wooden stick in his hand and spread his hands: "What, brother, I'm here today to talk about the old days and discuss some things, aren't you welcome?" ”
Wu Dou got out of the way, Big Buck Tooth walked in with a smile, and when he passed by several men standing next to Wu Dou, he patted each other's shoulders in turn, Wu Dou motioned to his companion Cheng Er to greet the other party's partner, and he followed the other party into a broken thatched house in the courtyard.
In the middle of winter, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the broken thatched hut leaks wind everywhere, even if some straw and rags are taken to cover it, there is still a cold wind leaking in, and there are several stinky broken bedding on the inside of the house, which is the shelter of Wu Dou and others.
The flames in the broken brazier in the house were almost extinguished, and Big Bucktooth sat directly by the brazier, looked at Wu Dou sitting beside him, and said in a reproachful tone: "Lack of money, why don't you talk to me?" Once the immortal library is touched, it will not be able to turn over in a few lifetimes! ”
"It's not easy for you, pulling a large group of people, as well as the old and the young, I borrowed money from you, and I definitely can't pay it back, isn't this a scourge for you?" Wu Dou smiled bitterly and sighed: "Poor, why bother the poor!" ”
"Good! Well said! ”
Big bucktooth patted Wu Dou's shoulder and smiled bitterly: "I came this time to report to you, you haven't paid back the money in the past few months, the Lord is very angry, I came today, it's good to say, Lao Tzu went back to hand over the hard-earned money, and he didn't dare to do anything to me, but it won't be me if I come another day." ”
"I'm dead, they will come if they want to, killing one is enough, killing two is worth it!" Wu Dou looked at the brazier and coldly threw out a few words.
"Who's to say it isn't? At the beginning of the year, I never thought that I could survive in the battle, let alone become a lackey of others, bullying the old and weak women and children in order to collect debts! Bastard, the face of the old Liu family has been lost by me! ”
Big Bucktooth screamed and scolded, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, Wu Dou was silent and listened quietly.
"But I'm pulling a group of brothers, and a big family, I can't live without money, and the old and young are so hungry that they can't do it, what's the use of asking for face? Well? ”
"The battle, from the beginning of the year to the autumn, finally drove the northern captives across the river, and the promised reward was delayed!"
"Those dog officials whose conscience let the dog eat it, pressed the reward and did not issue it, forcing us soldiers to go to the Changsheng Treasury to borrow usury! And those dog officials are the behind-the-scenes owners of these immortal warehouses, and the money and food we borrowed are the rewards they withheld! ”
"These dog officials who killed a thousand knives, withheld military salaries and rewards, forced us to borrow usury, and then made a profit, and we couldn't pay it back for several lifetimes, and finally sold ourselves into slavery, and signed a death deed!"
"Shangguan said it better than he sang, saying that we are the pillars of a country, we have to fight hard to kill the enemy to serve the king, the military salary and reward that should be issued, find an excuse to delay it all day, everyone has worked hard in the first half of the year to get back the credit, the reward has not been issued, and we are going to go on the expedition again!"
Wu Dou took a branch, shook the embers in the brazier, and asked lightly, "What, what wind did you hear?" ”
"That's right, I heard the rumors, the official army is now going to the north to recover Huainan Prefecture, and sooner or later we will have to cross the river and go north." Big Bucktooth lowered his voice, "Let's go, leaving behind a group of old and weak women and children, who will protect those who collect debts?" ”
"What then?"
Wu Dou knew what Big Bucktooth wanted to say, but he wasn't sure if the other party was the eyes and ears sent by the government, to inquire about who was going to make trouble, or who to instigate to make trouble, and then led the officials and soldiers to arrest people, so when he talked to the other party, he didn't speak salty or light.
"I know that you have always been cautious, but you will not betray your own people, so I came today to say hello first."
Big Bucktooth patted Wu Dou's shoulder again, sneered, and there seemed to be some emotion in his eyes: "I can't live this day, you and your brother, wait for my news!" ”
