Chapter 147: The White Lotus Who Asks for Debts
The white lotus of Tenghu Courtyard watched the heavy rain gradually stop, it was really okay He walked around, watched the lights gradually go out and returned to Tenghu Courtyard.
Thinking that everyone was asleep, he was ready to go, the originals with names and addresses had been placed by him, and the ones in his arms were newly copied by him, and many of his words were incomplete, but it did not prevent him from copying them down, and he also found a detailed map.
Not knowing all the words does not mean that you can't do things, the young man lay on the table and spent a long time converting the address of the text into punctuation points on the map, and after checking it again, the young white lotus confirmed that there was no mistake and was ready to set off, holding this map that was all punctuated, the young man entered the courtyard.
He had been preparing for a long time, because the guards here were too strong for him, and he felt that he was very likely to be unable to command, so he kept thinking about what kind of time to use to pretend to use the power of that Young Master Yun to accomplish his goal.
Since I came, I must make a name for myself, and I have set some rules for myself on the way, among which the first principle of doing things is to get things done, and the second principle is to do things as little as possible in the process of trouble.
It's just that the white lotus was a little stunned that his preparation was completely disappointed, and the guards who had already stood in the courtyard didn't have any appearance of needing him to mobilize at all, and they were ready early to wait for his instructions, and when he said that he was leaving, these people followed him and set off.
While walking, the White Lotus, who felt strange, once again felt the status of the eldest prince of the Snow Rain Villa, which was really higher than he imagined, this guard was honest no matter what level he was, and no one dared to use his own strength to disobey the command, either the brainwashing was too powerful, or the villa had a more powerful existence that made them not have any confidence to expand.
The group did not ride horses, and if they rode wild on such a night, they would inevitably disturb the people, which was a very bad thing, not only causing unnecessary trouble, but also affecting the reputation of Snow and Rain Villa.
His first stop was the house of the Imperial Doctor, which was the biggest account, and the others were basically one household by one, only three of them were insured but failed to repay the debt, and Qi Sanbao of the Imperial Doctor's family was one of these three.
Although there are also people on the road who have not yet paid off their debts, but White Lotus is not in a hurry, he wants to pick a big one to give himself courage, to be honest, a little gangster from Yunyue City, suddenly began to contact tens of thousands of money is a little unaccustomed.
However, looking at a lot of silver tickets for so long, this kind of unaccustomed has long disappeared, and he will not be used to asking for debts tonight, in the past, basically every one of these people is an existence that he can't afford to provoke at all, but the incident in front of Yanfu that day made him a lot bolder.
It's just that after all, it was only a short small outbreak, and this time he had to face hundreds of families, maybe most of the families were not as strong as Yan Mansion, but this was the capital, and he was still a little uneasy, so he simply picked a big start.
In the room of the imperial historian, the man and the woman sat opposite each other on the edge of the table, and there were a large number of silver tickets and gold bars on the table, and he went to the pawnshop with a lot of things from the family this evening, and the owner of the pawnshop saw that he did not lower the price, which was considered to give enough face to this imperial history who was dedicated to the country and the people.
In addition to the price given, the owner of the pawnshop also promised to keep his things for a month, and within a month, as long as he took the money, he could redeem all these old things.
Qi Yushi looked at the money on the table, only a small part of it belonged to his Qi family, and the rest were sent by Qi Sanbao's family, and the last one was delivered after the rain stopped just now, "Hey, I hope Sanbao can remember it for a long time this time." ”
"Probably so." The woman looked at the small part that belonged to her own family in a daze, many people's money was sent very early, and these people's family backgrounds were far inferior to their own, but other people's 1,000 taels were very calm.
As a woman, she doesn't just need to do something with a clear conscience like her husband, she needs to arrange the food and clothing of a large family, and her own man has a clean sleeve, and the family wants to be poor, and now there is such a thing, I don't know how long it will take to be more constrained.
Looking at his daughter-in-law's expression, Qi Yushi naturally guessed what she was thinking, and sighed deeply, "Hey! Our Qi family started too late, it was originally a small family, and it all relied on me to earn money as an official, and many of these families have family backgrounds handed down from the times. ”
The woman nodded, she knew all this, but seeing that the money she had saved was directly gone, she still couldn't accept it for a while, and said miserably: "Will you send it over early tomorrow morning?" ”
"Well, let's send it over earlier, it's going to be given anyway, and I can't rely on this, and I won't rely on it." The man leaned back in his chair.
The woman looked at the pile of money blankly, and muttered: "This Snow and Rain Mountain Villa won 880,000 taels in one game, what if it loses?" Can they really take it out? ”
"Have you forgotten what the Three Treasures said? For the final finale treasure, people brought 1.2 million taels on their bodies, and even if they lost the bet, they didn't need to go home to get it. Qi Yushi looked at his daughter-in-law and said, not to mention the woman who presides over the affairs of the family all the year round, but he has never seen what one hundred and twenty thousand taels looks like when he runs around all the year round.
The woman understood, but she didn't understand, and subconsciously asked, "Where did all this money come from?" ”
Qi Yushi was stunned this time, he didn't know, many things can only be qualified to guide the country if he has experienced it, his Qi family has never been rich, so he doesn't know how such wealth is accumulated, just looking at his own lady, he still tried to explain:
"I've also heard of Xueyu Villa, no one knows how many years they have been inherited, but they came up in a hurry thirty years ago, I think this money is mainly the family wealth left before, and the second is to do business, that wealth is their family's industry."
The woman was still puzzled: "With so much money, they are not afraid that they will be stolen by thieves and robbed of it?" ”
"You see you're talking stupidly again, have you forgotten that there are Mahayana masters in this Snow and Rain Mountain Villa? Maybe they are the only ones who rob others, who has the ability to rob his family? Qi Yushi got up and went to get a box, and then sorted out the money little by little and put it in.
The woman got up to help, and the moment the box was closed, the woman's tears also fell, and she lay on her man's shoulder and wept silently, and said: "These more than 600 taels are what I have saved with hard work, and they are reserved for Sanbao to marry his daughter-in-law, why are Sanbao so disobedient."
"Alas......" Qi Yushi sighed deeply, he didn't know what to say, what his son did today was really a little disappointing for his parents.
The gate of Qi Mansion under the moonlight is a little simple, but it is full of noble atmosphere, as the Burrow Ming said: The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin.
Although the majestic and righteous Qi Yushi is not so brilliant, but it has the momentum that other people's homes do not have, and when the White Lotus arrives in front of the Qi Mansion, they wonder if they are in the wrong place, is it really the imperial history of the empire that lives in such a small alley?
Yushi is not an ordinary official, picketing hundreds of officials, maybe except for the emperor, no one has the power to stand tall in front of hundreds of officials, but such a person lives in such an ordinary house, the reason is that the white lotus naturally thought of it instantly, so the shouting in his throat did not shout.
"Knock knock!"
"Excuse me, anyone?"
White Lotus stepped on the mossy stone steps and knocked on the door carefully.
"Who?" There was a voice from inside the room, a male voice that was not too young.
White Lotus was afraid that the neighbors would know that Qi Yushi was asked for his son's gambling debts in the middle of the night, so he lowered his voice and said: "Xueyu Villa, looking for your master, it's okay for the prince of Qi Sanbao to be here." ”
"Squeak......
The door opened, and an old man with only ordinary teeth opened the door, looked at the white lotus with a rather unscrupulous face, and suddenly panicked, and saw the guard behind the white lotus who only showed two eyes, and hurriedly closed the door and ran to the courtyard.
Qi Yushi, who heard the sound of the door opening, walked out of the room, saw the old man who ran into the courtyard and ran out of breath in a few steps, and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" Who is it? ”
"It's a young man like a bandit, and the soldiers behind him are covered in armor and vicious, so he shouldn't be a good person." The old man panted and said to Qi Yushi, who was upright, and he looked like he would hang up at any time because he couldn't breathe.
Qi Yushi went to the front door and comforted the old man: "Don't worry, uncle, if you are really not a good person, you will not be able to go to this courtyard." ”
When the old man heard this, it seemed that this was the truth, and he sighed in his heart that there are still learned people who see things and understand.
Qi Yushi opened the door, looked at the young man who was about to knock on the door again, looked at the young man through the young man and looked at a team of guards in the alley behind the white lotus, looked at it and said, "This armor is a bit out of line." ”
When the white lotus, who had not yet spoken, saw the middle-aged man, her first feeling was that this majestic man was Qi Yushi, even if this middle-aged man was not a beautiful man, he was rude when he didn't do anything by his side, and after listening to the man's words, he said respectfully: "I will tell my master about this." ”
Qi Yushi looked at the young man who didn't look like a good person, but his words and deeds were very regular, and said, "What are you here for?" ”
"Today, the young master of my family has made a bet with the young master Qi Sanbao of your mansion, and I am here to collect gambling debts." The White Lotus took out the list from her bosom and handed it to Qi Yushi to see, and said, "This is a copy, and the list of people in charge of the Young Master of the Three Treasures is also on it, Lord Yushi will see if there are any errors." ”
The middle-aged man took two steps out, surrounded by powerful martial artists, but Qi Yushi's thin body was like entering a no-man's land, obviously not looking at everyone in his eyes, and the White Lotus spoke of him to a higher level; Maybe it's because there are fewer people to see, but the young man with triangular eyes thinks this is what he thinks of as a scholar.
Qi Yushi read the list one by one by the moonlight and said to the White Lotus: "That's right, that's it." ”
"So ......"
The middle-aged man looked at the white lotus and said: "Although our Qi Mansion is not rich, but since the dog has gambled, then someone in Qi will also pay off the debt, but at this time, I can't confirm your identity, so I can't give this money now, I will send it to the south of the East Sequence early tomorrow morning, I don't know what you think." ”
The young man under the moonlight nodded, hugged his fists at Qi Yushi and said, "Of course you can, if you have a lot of disturbances today, Bai will leave first." ”
"Walk slowly!"
