Chapter 261: Usury
In order to show off in front of the beauties, Liu Guang took Lu Qi and others into the Shenji Battalion, one of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But it backfired, and he met his old rival Zhang Fu in the barracks.
In the end, although he used his father's power to suppress Zhang Fu fiercely, his plan to take the opportunity to torture his opponent was also ruined.
It was none other than his sister Liu Xin who stopped him.
"Sister, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Since Uncle Wang is willing to help me, why can't I teach a bastard Zhang Fu a lesson? You stopped my action, I don't know when I will have another chance to teach him a lesson, and that Li Ling, since he refused your request to enter the academy, why are you still so polite to him? ”
After Li Ling and the others left, Liu Guang began to complain to his sister, and easily lost an opportunity to take revenge on his opponent, how could Liu Guang not be angry? Even if it's his own sister, he won't let it go easily.
"Brother, don't you know that you are doing this to your father's reputation very badly? If my father's position in the army is shaken, can the two of us still benefit? ”。 Liu Xin responded unceremoniously.
If Uncle Wang insists on punishing Zhang Fu, the ins and outs of this matter will soon spread in the barracks, and then not only Uncle Wang, but also the prestige of the two fathers in the army will be affected.
"How can I regain my dignity, am I just going to forget it after being knocked by a little six-rank official? And Li Ling, this guy is also a troublesome character, if you defeat his arrogance, I'm afraid that Miss Luqi won't look at me at all! ”。
Liu Guang began to argue, he couldn't bear it.
"Li Ling's official residence is from the fifth grade, if you want to touch him, it is not difficult, the difficulty is that this guy is familiar with the prince, and the emperor values him, this Tanhua has always not taken others to heart, so he still refuses to enter the academy when he knows my identity, and he doesn't mind fighting with you for the green Qi girl, but it is not impossible to find trouble with him!"
Liu Xin also probed Li Ling's details, although he is wealthy, but he also has his own weaknesses.
"There are a lot of people on his farm who owe us debts, as long as Brother Duo asks people to go to collect debts, he can't ignore this kind of thing, and when he is in a hurry, where can he care about fighting with you for the green girl? And I can also take the opportunity to sneak into the academy, and then we can each take what we need, wouldn't it be better?
No wonder Liu Guang can spend extravagantly on weekdays, it turns out that he is secretly doing usury.
"Okay, I'll start with his tenants, and I'll see how he ends!"
Liu Guang bit and hated Li Ling. If he can cause some trouble to the other party, he will naturally be happy.
The two siblings wanted to target Li Ling, and the two hit it off and decided to start with the tenants first.
There are many unsatisfactory places in life, and many tenants will choose to borrow usury when they are in need of money.
What these people didn't expect was that one day the boss behind the loan shark would personally come to them to force them to pay for the debt.
Many tenants were forced by the Liu brothers to have no way out, and even sold their sons and daughters, and in desperation, someone found Li Ling, hoping that he could help everyone through this difficulty.
Li Xi'er is an eight-year-old girl, a family of three living in Li Ling's farm, his father Li Tie rented five acres of land for the Li family, and can also have food and clothing in good years.
This year, the landlord has just changed, and Li Tie obeyed the instructions of Dachang Qianzhuang to plant all five acres of dry land into cold melons.
Fortunately, Li Ling helped them find a seller, and instead of rotting in the ground, the cold melons they planted were sold for a lot of silver.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that not long after the money arrived, Li Xi's mother became seriously ill.
After spending all the money from selling melons, he borrowed a lot from Dachang Money.
What is sad is that his wife's illness has not been cured, and the relationship between husband and wife is serious, so Li Tie had to borrow fifteen taels of silver from a loan shark.
After taking a few pairs of expensive medicines, his wife passed away, leaving the father and daughter with high debts.
Li Tie owed more and more property, and in the end he could only mortgage his daughter.
As soon as the repayment date agreed by the two parties arrived, Mr. Liu, the account clerk, found Li Tie with an IOU.
Liu Tent made a simple calculation, and the fifteen taels that Li Tie borrowed at the beginning had become forty taels of silver.
How can Li Tie repay this, does he really want to give his daughter to them as a maid?
"Liu Tent, you give me a few days of grace, the child's mother just died, I was very busy this time, I forgot to raise money for you, you, you give me another five days, five days later, I have already raised all for you!" As soon as Li Tie saw Liu Tent coming to collect the bills, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged.
The family's five acres of land are indeed worth dozens of taels of silver, but this land is owned by Li Ling.
In addition, Li Tie could no longer find anything else of value.
He has already made up his mind to ask Li Ling for help, even if he uses his life as a price and sells himself into the Li family by means of a death deed, he can't let his daughter go to another family to be a maid.
He was too young to be involved in this at all.
"Dad, don't sell me, I want to live with you!". Although Li Xi was young, he also saw that something was right about today's matter, and after she begged her father, she obediently knelt down to Liu's tent: "This uncle, don't take me away from my father's side, my mother is gone, I want to accompany my father all the time!" ”。
Liu's tent is also hard-hearted, he has been following Liu Guang to issue loan sharks, he has seen any scene, but when the little girl knelt down for him, this tough guy in his forties softened his heart at once.
He also has his own children, and his sons have already entered school at Li Xi's age.
Now his son has married a wife, and his daughter is married well.
Li Xi'er's plea completely pierced the weakness in his heart.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If his daughter is about to leave him when she is a few years old, can Liu Tent be sad?
"Don't worry, I don't dare to guarantee it after a long time, but you can still wait for three or five days, I'll give you five days to make up the money, and it will be calculated according to forty taels, if you can take it out at that time, this account will be cleared, what do you think?"
The bookkeeper finally spoke, and he agreed to Li Tie's request.
"Thank you, thank you!". Li Tie pulled Li Xi up and kept saying grateful words to Liu's tent.
Liu Tent sighed, he just wanted to have a job and something to eat, if it weren't for Liu Guang, the boss behind the scenes, who was too urgent, he wouldn't have forced others like this.
It's just that what Liu Tent didn't expect was that as soon as Liu Guang heard that he was so easy, he let go of the tenants of Li Ling's family, called him over and scolded him.
How could Young Master Liu let go of people related to Li Ling so easily? He decided to go out himself!
