The surname of the famous Heyuan Yinzhuang in the capital is Ye, a single name is a success, and he inherited the family business in less than 30, and he is a famous young and promising person in the Western business. Standing in a group of old family owners who are at least forty or fifty years old, it is quite eye-catching.

The former Xuyi Zhixian Shang Daren borrowed a total of several hundred taels from five families, of which the two hundred taels borrowed from Heyuan Yinzhuang was the largest one. From the perspective of Heyuan Yinzhuang, two hundred taels is not a small account, I heard that Shang Da may have to kill after the failure of the election of officials, Yinzhuang was worried that the money would be wasted, so he sent someone to the door to urge, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get anything if he went late.

Ye Yuanwai likes to do it himself, and the affairs on the silver village are not entrusted to the shopkeepers, and he himself often appears in the silver village to guide the business. On this day, I was taking inventory of the account books in Yinzhuang, and I heard my own report in my ears: "Meng Wu came back from there..."

Ye Yuanwai, who was disturbed, was very displeased, raised his head and scolded: "Ignorant thing! Such trivial things are also used to disturb the master, and I should do what I should do! "Such a big silver village, I don't know how many affairs there are every day, if you go to ask for a debt and have to report it, then what else can he, the owner, do?

After Chang Sui was reprimanded, he was helpless, and continued to report: "Meng Wu had a conflict with him, and he was seriously injured, and he is now waiting in the hospital." ”

Ye Yuanwai threw down the pen in his hand, got up and walked out of the house. Sure enough, Meng Wusan and the three of them were embarrassed, with blood on their bodies, and one of them was lying on the ground and breathing in and out.

Seeing the owner come out, Meng Wu cried and dictated with a sad face what happened to him to ask for debts today.

It turned out that he had met a powerful man who couldn't see it, so it was normal for a little person like Meng Wu to be beaten. Meng Wu and the others were just market pranksters hired by Yinzhuang. Specifically used to collect debts. Whether they are dead or alive, Ye Yuanwai didn't care, he focused on other aspects, and asked: "Do you know what kind of person the other party is?" ”

Meng Wu replied: "The other party didn't report his name, so he started with the small ones without saying anything, so the small ones didn't know." ”

Ye Yuanwai secretly thought, today's incident should be regarded as an ordinary emergency. Forced debt met powerful people. It's not unusual for the people sent to be sent back, but why is there always a sense of foreboding?

At this time, Ye Yuanwai didn't know that Shang Zhixian had thrown himself into the river at Jinshui Bridge before, otherwise he should have been even more frightened at this time. threw himself into the river and went to force debts. It sounds so inhuman that no one else can tell if it's a coincidence.

However, he said that Jinghe Tianzi was ignorant about the official debt, and no one in the court explained the inside story to him clearly. But now the Son of Heaven, who has developed the habit of reading newspapers, is not easily deceived by courtiers!

The heavy content on the homepage of today's Mingli Daily is that a certain county was forced by creditors to throw himself into the river in the capital. By the way, the origin of the phenomenon of official debts was explained clearly and at a glance, which opened the eyes of the Son of Heaven.

There is also a small follow-up report: After a certain county was rescued by throwing himself into the river that day, Yuanhe Yinzhuang still came to the door to force debts, and even fought unscrupulously, resulting in a serious injury tragedy. An official surnamed Li, a friend of the county magistrate, happened to be present, and because he was not angry, he stepped forward to reason with the villain, and then he was mistakenly involved.

Finally, a commentator of this newspaper said: At the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lang Lang Qiankun, the seven-grade official only owes a month of debt, and he has not been in arrears and has suffered from this situation. I threw myself into the river first, and was murdered later, which is pitiful. If the eunuchs are insecure, then do the civilians still have a way to live? This newspaper will continue to pay attention!

After reading it, the Son of Heaven, who had a lot of experience, commented in the newspaper: "Be sure to find out." and transferred to Feng Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Feng Da Si Kou is in a dilemma about this matter. If you don't investigate carefully, you will definitely be despised by Shilin and your reputation will be damaged; If it is serious, there are also many supporters of those moneylenders in the dark, at least on the surface, they occupy the principle of "debt repayment is fair", and besides, money can make ghosts grind. I'm afraid that I will make enemies for irrelevant things.

Seeing today's Mingli report and the approval of the Son of Heaven, Feng Shangshu couldn't help but be overjoyed. First of all, with this stronger atmosphere of public opinion, his pressure was relieved, and the situation was like this, and others could not complain about him.

Secondly, Mingli Bao wantonly named and set up a model of Heyuan Yinzhuang, and he could logically focus on this model to avoid hitting too much and making enemies on all sides.

He Yuan Yinzhuang also has a clear report, this day Ye Yuan also saw the newspaper, and when the words of Yuan Yinzhuang appeared in front of him, he was immediately shocked, like being struck by lightning. He is not stupid, and if he can't react at this time, he doesn't deserve to be praised for being young and talented.

The matter of official debts was in the newspapers, and there were bizarre things such as jumping into the river at the Jinshui Bridge, and the imperial court was bound to find a solution. Moreover, as soon as today's issue of the newspaper came out, the two incidents of jumping into the river and committing murder were linked together, and public opinion was bound to be in an uproar and arouse the public indignation of the bureaucrats.

The Heyuan Yinzhuang that appeared in the Mingli newspaper was like adding fuel to the fire, and if it was not done well, it would become the object of hatred and venting of the bureaucratic class with the same hatred and hatred. And their peers are unpredictable, and it is inevitable that they will also have the idea of abandoning the car to protect the handsome.

It doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is, everyone is ruining their bones, and this newspaper is much more powerful than the tongue.

Ye Yuanwai thought about this, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, he didn't want to be a victim of solving the problem. He shouted to his subordinates: "Quick! Fast! Send someone to find Lord Shang, forgive him all his debts, and pay off his debts from now on! ”

Mr. Liu, the big shopkeeper of Heyuan Yinzhuang, knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly got into the carriage and ran wildly in the direction of Huaisi Hall. I didn't say anything all the way, and I arrived in less than half an hour.

But when people go to empty houses, Shangzhi County is no longer there. According to the manager of the hall, Mr. Shang settled the house money early this morning and went to his friends in Beijing.

"Which master did you go to?" Shopkeeper Liu of Heyuan Yinzhuang hurriedly asked.

The manager of the hall replied truthfully: "I heard that it is the well-known Li Tanhua Li. ”

Shopkeeper Liu didn't say a word, while sending someone to report to the east, he got into the carriage and continued to run towards the small Yongfang, I heard that Li Tanhua lived in the small Yongfang in the west of the imperial city.

I inquired all the way, and when I arrived at Li's house, Shopkeeper Liu was turned away. Whether he asked to see Master Li or Shang Zhixian, the answer he got was three cold words: "No guest!" Even if he handed Menzi a red envelope, Menzi refused to accept it.

In the end, Liu's shopkeeper worked in vain, so he had to return to Yinzhuang helplessly and report to the owner in person. Ye Yuanwai sat in the hall in a daze, stunned for a long time, and at this time, the fool could also see that Li You definitely wanted to use the matter of Shangzhi County as an excuse.

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, and this sentence came out of Ye Yuanwai's mind.

Shopkeeper Liu asked, "Why don't the proprietors go to the Shanxi Hall to ask their fellow villagers for help?" ”

Ye Yuanwai was impetuous, and said angrily: "What can they help with this kind of thing? I'm afraid to stay away. It is better to withdraw from the 21 Western business associations and invest in Huichang Yinhao! ”

It was difficult for Shopkeeper Liu to imagine this situation, and hurriedly said: "The owner is really angry. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
