Chapter 24 Principal and Interest Collection

The news that Song Jindou was cheated out of 8,000 taels of silver quickly spread throughout Shanquan County, and all the pawnshops, calligraphers and paintings, and some literati were famous all over the matter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Song Jindou also had a lot of friends, but no one came to comfort him at this time. People are just talking behind their backs, quietly expressing their sympathy to strangers, and this sympathy is inevitably mixed with some elements of schadenfreude.

Song Jindou's daughter-in-law was crying and making trouble, six thousand taels of silver, which was a sky-high price for human life. I'm afraid that it has really reached the point of selling houses and land, and there is interest on the money that the money is released.

If Song Jindou hadn't watched Qiao Wenxuan's bet on work, he really wouldn't have accepted "Bu Yuan Tu". Although "Bu Yuan Tu" is a heirloom, he does not have that economic strength.

If he is in a good position, he can bet the house deed and land deed to the money bank, and then earn an interest difference. Now that "Bu Yuan Tu" has become a fake (pronounced yàn) product, he has really lost a lot of hair.

Song Jindou packed up the existing money, went to the restaurant to book ten tables of banquets, and then spread invitations all over the city, he invited the scholars and celebrities of the county, as well as peers and calligraphy and painting experts to have a banquet, and the time was set for the next morning.

Whether you have a friendship or have never met, everyone who is a little famous in this county has been invited. Many people even suspect that Song Jindou is going to openly borrow money from everyone, and wants everyone to help him raise money to plug this hole.

Song Jindou let go out, and he invited everyone to discuss how to distinguish between real and fake calligraphy and paintings, and would never ask anyone for help.

The next day, he rushed to the restaurant early, and Chen Siwei invited him to his room to sit for a while, and returned his fake painting to him.

He took the opportunity to invite Chen Siwei and Bai Jingchen to also sit at the table, Bai Jingchen likes to join in the fun, he took out a slender brocade box and gave it to Song Jindou to thank him for his invitation.

This time, there were a lot of people who came and they were comprehensive, and most of them came out of curiosity. It's not so much that I want to learn how to distinguish the authenticity of calligraphy and paintings, but that I want to ask how he was deceived.

The gossip gene seems to be an innate part of everyone, and as long as there is material for gossip, people's enthusiasm is unstoppable.

There are also people who are concerned about Song Jindou, and some people come to the banquet with the attitude of learning lessons, and more people come to join in the fun. The cool words are kept behind the back, and the jokes can be seen in person.

Song Jindou set up a sign in front of the restaurant, writing that anyone who understands calligraphy and painting can be seated. Soon, the people invited by Song Jindou were basically all there, and it was not surprising that there was no shadow of Qiao Wenxuan.

Song Jindou didn't expect that Qiao Wenxuan to appear so easily, if Qiao Wenxuan hadn't had dirty water in his brain, he would never have come to this banquet.

Everyone arrived, and Song Jindou unequivocally ordered a banquet. Halfway through the drink, Song Jindou took out the painting and hung it in the middle of the lobby of the restaurant.

"Today's banquet for you, on the one hand, to express to you my Song Jindou is determined to be in the calligraphy and painting industry, and I will never give up because of this. On the other hand, let's look at the fake paintings together, so that everyone can see how the scammers use clever means to fake the real thing. ”

Song Jindou mentioned the corner of the painting scroll and seriously explained the flaws of the painting scroll. Everyone knows that this painting is a fake, but not many people can really see it.

This time, everyone felt that they had benefited a lot, and their peers all sighed that Song Jindou was righteous. If he didn't point it out, he could have found another calligraphy and painting shop to get through with this painting, and it would be possible to cheat ten or ten taels of silver.

After seeing the fake paintings, my colleagues all said: "Mr. Song has opened our eyes, and it has also allowed us to avoid making the same mistakes in the future and reduce the chance of being deceived, which is really meritorious!" ”

After everyone saw it, Song Jindou rolled up the painting and threw it into the stove, and said while burning: "You can't leave this fake painting to harm people!" ”

Song Jindou burned paintings, and for a while it caused a sensation in the entire county. When people on the streets talked about it, they all gave a thumbs up and praised Song Jindou for being a gentleman.

Song Jindou soon got drunk while pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and Xiao Er helped him home. As soon as he woke up, it was already sunset, and as soon as he got up and was washing his face, the guy from his shop came running.

"Sir, the man is here." The guy looked panicked and said to Song Jindou: "That liar is here, what should I do?" ”

"Oh?" Song Jindou forgot to wipe his face, he didn't expect that little Xianggong to be so magical, Qiao Wenxuan really came.

"Sir, he said that he wanted to redeem the painting in silver, what should we give him to redeem the painting?"

"Hugh said a lot." Song Jindou raised his leg and walked towards the front store, and the young man followed closely behind him.

Song Jindou came to the store and saw Qiao Wenxuan shaking a folding fan in his hand, sitting in the hall waiting for him. Qiao Wenxuan said that there was something wrong and he missed the repayment date of the silver.

Song Jindou said casually: "It's only three days wrong, it's okay, just add 30% interest." "The total amount of principal and interest is fifteen thousand two hundred and forty taels of silver.

Song Jindou burned the painting in front of the celebrities in the city, Qiao Wenxuan already knew about it, so he was not afraid, without the slightest look of difficulty, and said very calmly: "Okay, exchange the silver, please Mr. Song exchange the painting!" ”

Qiao Wenxuan also came after calculating the principal and interest, and he directly took out a large stack of silver tickets and put them on the table. Song Jindou counted the silver tickets, Qiao Wenxuan took out the pawn tickets and said, "The ransom has been paid, will the painting be returned to me?" ”

"It's nature." Song Jindou turned around and walked into the inner room, and after a while, he walked out with a scroll of paintings. Qiao Wenxuan took the painting in his hand, quickly unfolded it and looked at it, his legs were weak, and he almost collapsed.

Didn't he say that the fake painting had already been burned by him? Qiao Wenxuan was sure that he had no painting to redeem, so he took the initiative to send it to the door. I thought I could use the topic to blackmail Song Jindou again, but I didn't expect to make a fuss this time.

Song Jindou really admired Chen Siwei so much that he jumped into the river to find his death, Chen Siwei only made a slight scheming, and he made a big reversal in his life, this is really a life-saving Bodhisattva sent by God.

Chen Siwei asked him to deliberately let out a rumor to let everyone know that he had accepted a fake painting. Then set up a banquet to burn paintings, in order to lure out Qiao Wenxuan, who was not greedy enough, to induce him to hand over a huge amount of principal and interest, and let him spit out the money with interest.

Of course, the painting that Song Jindou burned was not the one mortgaged by Qiao Wenxuan, but was imitated by Chen Siwei and Bai Jingchen overnight.

Song Jindou got back the principal and high interest, and he took the silver ticket in his arms to the inn to find Chen Siwei and Bai Jingchen, saying that he would repay the two benefactors well.

When he arrived at the inn, Chen Siwei and Bai Jingchen had already left Shanquan County.
