Chapter 21 The Li Family's Debt (Ask for Collection!) )
In any case, you must pay back the 30,000 taels of silver today! ”。
The main room was quite lively, but when Li Ling arrived, he saw a big man shouting loudly, looking arrogant, and didn't look at anyone in his eyes.
Father Li shuddered suddenly, wanted to say something but finally swallowed it, he handed over all the affairs to his eldest son, or let him handle it, it seems that 30,000 taels of silver is really not a big deal for the current Li family.
Zhou was also standing in the crowd, she came over to see how this eldest young master who had taken away his position made a fool of himself, and he had just replaced his younger brother as the head of the mansion when there was such a big mess. It seems that he is just a child. If you don't have much ability, don't take on a big stall!
The big man in front of him gave himself the feeling of being the boss of the underworld in the future, and the two younger brothers who were standing beside him at all times really looked very domineering.
"Big brothers, when did I borrow your money? There must always be a reason for everything, and it is unreasonable to ask me to repay the debt of 30,000 taels of silver for no reason! ”.
Li Ling was annoyed, although he helped Uncle Yang buy military supplies these days, he didn't put much money in it, the salt he gave away for free was just trophies, did he use it to borrow money outside?
"Why don't you want to admit it, we have evidence, if you want to pay the bill, go outside and inquire, does anyone dare to rely on the account of the Ma family?" The big man at the head raised his head and said on his back.
He is Ma Wencai's cousin, his back is against the big tree to enjoy the shade, no one in this county dares to go against him, which one of the debts was not killed by him, and finally paid the money?
"Another surname Ma?". Zhou's heart blossomed, this Li Ling was bold enough, knowing that Ma Xiancheng and himself did not deal with him, he dared to borrow money from the Ma family.
"Look carefully, we have a contract, and the name of the person is written on it in black and white, but it can't be denied!" Ma raised his head a little more and handed a blank piece of paper to Li Ling.
Li Xiucai was amused: "I said big brother, is this my name?" ”。
Ma was stunned, this money was given out by his subordinates, and it was undoubtedly borrowed by the Li family, and he also showed it to his cousin, Ma Wencai told him that it was right to ask Li Ling for money, and his cousin was Xiucaigong, could he be wrong?
It turned out to be an illiterate gangster, but Li Ling was relieved, as long as he didn't make trouble for no reason.
"That's your name, I've seen it, everybody says so!". Someone actually doubted himself, Ma was furious, even if he was a showman, he didn't deceive.
"Big brother, he wants to deny it!".
"Big brother, let's start fighting, where do you say to start smashing?"
The little brother at the bottom quit, shouted loudly, and paid attention to momentum when he came out to mix, and only by scaring others could he take the initiative.
"Show me!". The two parties quarreled so lively, Father Li couldn't help it.
He moved the white paper in front of his eyes, and when he looked closely, his beard was puffed up.
Zhou knew that the old man was going to be angry, so she deliberately leaned forward, she had already bought spicy noodles, moved a small bench, and waited to see a good show.
"It's all your son's good deeds!". The old man snatched the paper and threw it on Zhou's face.
Zhou was stunned all of a sudden, the old man had eaten gunpowder? Why are you so angry with her?
"What are you trying to destroy the evidence?" Ma Someone quit, didn't you think he would put it in his eyes, it doesn't matter if you look down on him, and you won't give face to Lord County?
"This" Zhou suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he made trouble for a long time, and this note was set up by his son?
She shuddered for a moment, 30,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, if something bad happens, she glanced at Father Li cautiously, and asked in a low voice: "This note was signed by Ming'er?" ”。
"You still have the face to say that you called the little animal/student in the past, and I should ask him where the money went!"
Li Ling took the money to buy military supplies and said that he knew how powerful the Yang family was, and Lao Yang could still lose his son-in-law? But the money was spent silently by the second son, and he was about to ask the Zhou family for an explanation.
Zhou was stunned, she hadn't seen Li Ming for several days, since his uncle was assigned, he was often in a trance, who knows what kind of wind he smoked and poured all the silver into the river?
"I'll go, I'll go." The Zhou family is really a person without a city government, and now he is completely honest.
"What, it was borrowed by the second son, I don't care who you signed it, I'll ask you whether your Li family recognizes this account or not!" Things have changed, and Ma is not speaking so loudly.
Li Ming is just the son of a concubine, and according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the Li family is not responsible for this account.
"What's the panic, what the Li family's family background is, you must know it, don't say 30,000 taels, even 100,000 taels, but you have to figure things out!" Father Li replied without thinking.
This is not only said to the person who asks for the account, but also to Li Ling, the old man's words are very clear, Li Ling wants to pay back the account.
The main house was so troublesome, and the Li Mansion knew that something was wrong, but because of the majesty of the Li family's father and son, the subordinates did not dare to go forward, but there were still good maids and miscellaneous servants who went in and out of the main room door under the pretext of going in and out.
It didn't take much time, and the fact that Li Ming borrowed 30,000 taels of usury was well known.
"Sister, have you heard, the second young master has borrowed a loan shark, and all the people who want to pay the account have come to the house!"
"Be quiet, this time Aunt Zhou is completely finished, the Li family will not repay this debt for them, the amount is too big, see if she dares to show off her power to us in the future!"
Zhou heard the maid whispering, her face turned even paler, she knew her identity very clearly, in the eyes of Father Li, maybe it was really not worth so much silver.
She turned her head and glanced at Li Ming very much, her son's disaster this time was really too big.
"Tell me honestly, where did the money go?".
Although the Li family is rich, they will not allow the son of a concubine to spend money so indiscriminately, and now the Zhou clan only hopes that Li Ming can give himself a reason to go over, so that Li's father can give an explanation. Otherwise, the two of them would really be finished.
Li Ming's face turned hideous: "You just take this money as if I used it to gamble!" ”。
He strode towards the main room, ignoring Zhou.
Zhou hurriedly chased after his son, and the two entered the main room one after the other.
"Now that the Lord is here, give us an explanation!" The big man surnamed Ma was overjoyed in his heart and opened his mouth to question.
Li Ming shook his head, he had nothing to say, he did borrow money. He didn't dare to deny it, so he could only stand in the room and listen to the punishment.
"Why are you borrowing so much money?"
Zhou roared and pounced, and began to tear up his son, just now when he asked, it was okay not to say it, if he still insists now, I am afraid that the two of them will not be able to stay in the Li family.
"The matter is already very clear, it is the money borrowed by your second son, whether you will pay it back or not, old man, you can send a word!" Ma someone's eyes stared at Father Li.
His two subordinates stared at Li Ming fiercely, as long as the old man said the word "no", they would go up and beat each other.
Zhou knelt down to Father Li with a "plop": "Master, you must save our mother and son!" ”。
She often heard people talk about people who were beaten to death and maimed by loan sharks, and she was really scared.
Father Li sighed, he always persuaded their mother and son to be good people, but the two always took their words as a deaf ear, and this time they must be taught a lesson, so that the mother and son can remember it for a long time.
"Eldest young master, you can be gracious, after this time, our mother and son will definitely not get along with you again, you will forgive us a lot."
Li's father was indifferent, and Zhou remembered that the Li family's financial power had reached Li Ling's hands, and Li Ming had three longs and two shorts, so she had no hope, and for the future of the two, she had to choose to give in to her former opponents.
"Are you all finished, do you want to pay back the money, give a happy word!". Ma someone began to urge again.
"We've got it back! We paid it back! ”。 Li Ling first agreed, walked to Li Ming's side and continued: "I believe you didn't use this money to do bad things. I'll pay it back for you, but you always have to let me know what it's for! ”。
