This is a courtyard that looks very ordinary, with an area of no more than two hundred square meters, entering from the gate, facing a very small courtyard, there is a stone table in the middle of the yard, two stone chairs on the left and right, and the chessboard of Go is engraved on the stone table, which shows that the owner here has a very good hobby, four houses side by side, there is nothing peculiar, ordinary bricks and tiles, not showing luxury at all, but a small garden that has been opened up on the left side of the yard, in which some flowers and plants are still planted, It also reveals the elegance of the owner's home.

Zheng Xunrui followed Xu Fo's house directly into the courtyard.

The door was open, and there were already several people standing in the courtyard, their expressions were not very good, and they could faintly hear their voices, all of which were in the local dialect of Nanjing, and if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to understand what they were saying for a while.

There were low sobs and whispers in the room.

An angry man walked out of the room, still complaining loudly.

"I said that I would get the money in three days, but I still couldn't get it, and next time I won't be so polite......"

The man was holding a delicate wooden box in his hand, which should be worth a lot of money, and it was obviously something from this house.

A middle-aged woman who followed out had a haggard face, tears still hanging on her cheeks.

Seeing the people in the courtyard, the middle-aged woman forcibly gave everyone a blessing.

"Relatives and friends, no matter what the slave family thinks, the money owed will be paid off......

After these people in the courtyard saw the woman, some of them were ready to speak, and some of them shook their heads secretly, these people probably had something to do with this family before, so they didn't make excessive moves.

Just after the middle-aged woman finished speaking, a girl came out.

Seeing this girl for the first time, Zheng Xunrui couldn't help but widen his eyes, this girl was so beautiful, although her face was full of sadness, she couldn't hide her natural beauty. The girl did not deliberately groom up, it was completely natural beauty.

The girl looked at the people in the courtyard and spoke as well.

"It is only natural that the father and the son repay the debt. My father died, and even though the little woman was a daughter, I wouldn't lose your money, and you were all friends of my father's past, so I hope you don't have to work hard to force each other......"

When the girl said this. Some couldn't go on anymore and held the middle-aged woman's arm.

The people in the courtyard looked at the two women, and some of them shook their heads and left the courtyard.

A middle-aged man with a full face and a beard did not leave, and he stared at the girl for a long time.

"Lady of the Bian family, there is nothing to say about this debt, and when your family dies, you can't not pay it back. You two pretend to be pitiful, the others are silent, I'm not so easy to fool, I won't leave today, you either pay back the money, or give an explanation......"

The middle-aged man's words were very polite, and several people who had not yet left also spoke one after another, roughly the same meaning, that is, those who had already left. There was a fold back and stood beside the middle-aged man.

You must know that it makes sense for these people to come to the house to force debts, if the family has a son. Everyone will not be so panicked, after the death of the man in the family, without the support of the man, there is almost no hope for such a family, not to mention paying back, even if it can make a living. It's not easy.

The middle-aged woman looked at everyone, and tears finally fell again.

"What do you want the slave family to say, the slave family has worked hard to raise money......

Seeing this scene, Zheng Xunrui sighed slightly, who would have thought that this was once the home of the official eunuch, just because the man died of illness, he fell into this field, the woman probably has never had the experience of making a living, and she can't speak at all, people are already very worried, but they are working hard to raise money, which means that if you raise money, you will pay it back, and if you can't raise it, there is no way.

Sure enough, as soon as the woman finished speaking, the middle-aged man spoke again.

"Lady of the Bian family, since you say so, it means that you can't take out the silver, then don't blame me for being polite, I see that your two daughters are not bad, and it is okay for them to find a way to pay off their debts."

The courtyard fell silent instantly, and the woman instinctively pushed the girl behind her.

"No, no, the money owed by the husband, the slave family has to pay it back no matter what, and it has nothing to do with the daughter of the slave family......"

Zheng Xunrui couldn't stand it anymore, he understood that the family couldn't come up with the money to repay the debt, so if it continued, he was afraid that something would happen in the end, looking at the appearance of the middle-aged woman, her face was pale, her body was weak, she was obviously malnourished, and her life was difficult to maintain, and the girl behind the middle-aged woman, although her complexion was very white, she was blue, and she was also malnourished.

Thinking of the girls in the Xu Fo family talking about this family, they are ready to go to the Qinhuai River to earn money, such an outstanding girl, who was born in an official family, but was forced by the pressure of money and committed to the Qinglou, it is really unspeakable.

"Don't make any trouble, how much does the Bian family lady owe you, I'll pay it back."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, Xu Fojia's body trembling very much, of course she understood that Zheng Xunrui didn't speak casually, if it weren't for her own reasons, Zheng Xunrui would not have been able to take care of this family's affairs.

Everyone quickly stopped talking and looked at Zheng Xunrui together.

Zheng Xunrui was wearing a hat, and everyone couldn't see their faces clearly, but a few people still came forward, one of them opened his mouth to ask if the words were serious, and when he saw Hong Xinyu's expression standing next to Zheng Xunrui, he immediately shut up and took out the IOU from his arms.

Hong Xinyu took the IOU, took out the broken silver from his body, and counted them to everyone one by one.

The middle-aged man looked at Zheng Xunrui, and anger burst out of his eyes, but when he saw Hong Xinyu's knife-like eyes, he shrank his neck unnaturally, and reluctantly took out the IOU.

Hong Xinyu took the IOU, looked at the words on it, and spoke with a stern expression.

"What are you yelling about, I thought I owed you a lot of silver, but it was only five taels of silver, what else do you want to do, take the silver and get out quickly, if I see you again, you are ready to lie at home for a year and a half."

The bits and pieces of IOUs are all in Hong Xinyu's hands, plus the interest that should be paid, a total of more than 150 taels of silver, these silvers, for Zheng Xunrui, did not look at the eyes, but for the family that has lost its pillars and is full of women, it is a great pressure, and I can't think of any way at all.

The people who took the money left quickly, and only Zheng Xunrui, Xu Fojia and Hong Xinyu were left in the courtyard.

Hong Xinyu respectfully handed over an IOU to Zheng Xunrui, Zheng Xunrui didn't even look at these IOUs, and handed them to Xu Fo's family.

"Qingling, since you have a relationship with the Bian family, I will leave these things to you to deal with, I will wait outside the courtyard."

When Zheng Xunrui was about to turn around and leave, the middle-aged woman spoke.

"Please stay, these money were borrowed when the husband was seriously ill, the slave family must pay it back, please leave your name, and the slave family will return it no matter what way you think."

Zheng Xunrui wore a hat, and the middle-aged woman didn't know what to call it, and she didn't dare to speak rashly.

Xu Fojia returned the IOU to Zheng Xunrui.

"It's still an adult to deal with, and the slave family listens to the adult."

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, Zheng Xunrui at this moment, is like swallowing a fly, I don't know how to say it, if you want to say that this Bian family lady is tough enough, obviously she has no money to pay it back, and she still wants to say such things, is it possible that she is worried that there will be more trouble.

Zheng Xunrui sighed, took the IOU, and immediately tore it to shreds.

"Bian family lady, your husband was also an official, your family has fallen to this point, I just can't stand it, this silver, just as I helped your husband take it out, you don't have to remember, live a good life in the future."

After saying this, when Zheng Xunrui was about to leave again, the middle-aged woman who had not yet reacted instinctively walked over and blocked Zheng Xunrui's way.

"The benefactor is above, please accept the slave's worship, the slave family has no other wish, looking forward to seeing the benefactor's face."

Zheng Xunrui unveiled the hat and revealed his true face.

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, probably because she didn't expect Zheng Xunrui to be so young, handsome, and extraordinary, but she really didn't know Zheng Xunrui, and she couldn't remember that her husband had such a friend.

When Zheng Xunrui was about to leave again, the little girl spoke.

"Childe's great kindness, the little girl and her mother keep it in mind, and I implore Childe to leave his name, and the little girl will definitely repay the money one day."

Zheng Xunrui's scalp was a little numb, thinking that this mother and daughter were really troublesome, why were there so many things.

"You don't have to ask, I won't leave my name, and I won't ask you to pay back......"

Before Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, there was a noisy sound outside the courtyard.

The middle-aged man with the beard from before rushed into the courtyard with a group of people.

The middle-aged man saw Zheng Xunrui, was stunned for a moment, and then spoke to the person behind him.

"Official, it's this person, his appearance is suspicious, and the small suspicion is that he is a rogue."

It was the headcatcher from Shangyuan County who rushed in, and after seeing Zheng Xunrui, they didn't dare to act rashly, and one of the headcatchers spoke.

"This son, please show the road."

Hong Xinyu on the side couldn't help but open her mouth and scolded angrily.

"What are you guys who dare to speak like this in front of the young master."

Zheng Xunrui raised his hand to stop Hong Xinyu and spoke to the headhunter.

"There will still be such a thing in Shangyuan County, no matter whether I take out the road or not, I am ready to be sent to prison, robbed of my money, and then crowned as a rogue, so that you can divide the money privately, as for my life and death, it has nothing to do with you."

The headcatcher's face was red and white for a while, and it took a while before he spoke, and his attitude changed dramatically.

"You, you are a fool of your word, where did you come from, when you see the people of the government, you dare to speak like this, come here, escort everyone here, and take them to the patrol room for questioning." (To be continued.) )
