Chapter 119: Principal with Interest
Yang Yi was already drunk and drowsy, and his heart was about to come out with the smell of wine, and it was even more difficult to calm down when he heard Zhao Qingfeng talk about it at this time.
"What Mrs. Shangshu, Yujiao is my childhood sweetheart! If it weren't for her father's greed for wealth and wealth to marry her to a high-ranking official, she would have been my wife by now! Yang Yi roared.
Tan Sicheng outside the door was already angry, and he was about to rush in to compete with him when he heard it, but was stopped by Guo Yanzhao: "Don't be impatient, why don't you just listen?" ”
Tan Sicheng barely held back at this time, only to hear Zhao Qingfeng sigh in the room: "But after all, she has already married a wife, and it is really unreasonable for Brother Yang to still associate with her now." ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Yi was even more rampant when he heard this: "Go to his etiquette, Yujiao said, she doesn't like the military department book at all, she has always been thinking about me!" ”
"Then is she willing to give up her glory and wealth to stay with you?" Zhao Qingfeng said this as an old friend's reminder to Yang Yi.
But he suddenly laughed: "I'll tell you the truth, Yujiao has been my person for a long time in the past few years, how do you think my ordinary people have run the business of Buzhuang prosperously?" ”
Zhao Qingfeng was surprised, but Yang Yi got up and said: "It's all Yujiao who took money from Shangshu Mansion to help me, but I pity that Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and I don't know if I am empty of people and money." ”
The more Yang Yi spoke, the more outrageous it became, and Zhao Qingfeng stared sideways at the two figures at the door, and couldn't help but worry about him.
Before he could react, Tan Sicheng, who had been holding up outside the door for a long time, had already rushed in violently, only to see him glaring angrily and grabbing Yang Yi's clothes.
Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help but be a little worried about his powerless old acquaintance, and was about to step forward to stop him, but this benevolent brother fell down drunk quite at the right time.
Tan Sicheng was full of anger and had nowhere to vent for a while, so he could only look at Zhao Qingfeng on the side: "What is going on, what do you know?" ”
In order to avoid Tan Sicheng's suspicions, Zhao Qingfeng could only pretend not to know, and then said with a blank face: "When Zhao first arrived here, I didn't know ...... the two of them."
"This official is the military secretary in your mouth! Say, what do you see? Tan Sicheng replied angrily.
"It turned out to be Lord Shangshu, the villain was clumsy, in fact, the villain didn't see anything, but when he saw his wife leave from my brother's mansion in a hurry, he wanted to persuade him, but he didn't expect ......"
Hearing Zhao Qingfeng's words, he squinted at his political opponent Guo Yanzhao, Tan Sicheng suddenly felt faceless, and simply went back to the house to ask for himself.
And over there, Lin Wei had already sneaked into Shangshu Mansion to listen.
I saw Tan Sicheng enter the door and face Luo Yujiao is "slut", followed by a slap that caught her off guard: "Slut, you dare to raise a man outside with your official's money!" ”
Hearing this, Luo Yujiao's heart suddenly tightened: "How do you know......"
Seeing her reaction, Tan Sicheng was convinced that his slap was not wrong: "Is there really such a thing?" ”
As Yang Yi said just now, Luo Yujiao had no intention of Tan Sicheng in her heart, but now that he found out, she didn't bother to defend herself, so she nodded and admitted.
Tan Sicheng was furious when he saw this, and rushed towards the study without saying a word.
After a long time, I saw him holding a piece of letter paper with ink that had not dried, and threw it towards Luo Yujiao's face with resentment: "Take this letter of resignation and go back to your Luo family, don't let this official see you and your adulterer in Shengjing again in the future!" ”
After speaking, Tan Sicheng brushed his sleeves away, but Luo Yujiao leaned over and thanked him, instantly relieved.
Seeing this, Lin Wei hurriedly rushed to inform Zhao Qingfeng that his goal had been achieved, and Zhao Qingfeng immediately rushed back to Jiangnan overnight.
The next day, there was only half an hour left before the three-day period, and although Lu Xuan had not received the summons, he was forced by the pressure of the people to go to Luofu first.
As soon as he saw Lu Xuan, Luo Yujin still looked like no one in his eyes: "Lord Lu is doing it again, isn't he still worried about collecting my taxes?" ”
Lu Xuan didn't pay attention to it, and only spoke: "This official has ordered someone to check, you have been evading taxes for many years, plus this year, you need to pay a total of three hundred taels, and today is the deadline." ”
"Three hundred taels? Is Lu County's order a bully? Didn't I say that my taxes have already been paid? Luo Yujin quibbled.
Lu Xuan didn't listen, so he could only continue to deal with him: "This official has checked the accounts of the government office, and there has been no record of your taxes in the past five years. ”
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't listen to persuasion no matter what, Luo Yujin was suddenly a little annoyed: "I said that Lu County Order doesn't understand people's words, I said it last time, Lu County Order wanted my Luo family's taxes, so he went to Shengjing City to ask for the military department's Shangshu." ”
It's the military department again, there is no news from Gu Huanli and Zhao Qingfeng, and Lu Xuan doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Lu Xuan was in a dilemma, only to hear a familiar voice behind him, and a slight gasp: "Then dare to ask what is the relationship between the military department Shangshu and Luo Gongzi?" ”
Lu Xuan turned around when she heard the sound, the person who came was Zhao Qingfeng who hurried back, and when she saw him glancing at her with a happy look in his eyes, she knew that the matter had taken a turn for the better, at least her net worth and life were saved.
Seeing that someone asked, Luo Yujin simply didn't hide it, and then said proudly: "No one in the entire Yuanshan County knows that the military department is my brother-in-law. ”
At that time, there were indeed many people around here, and they all nodded when they heard Luo Yujin's words.
Zhao Qingfeng raised the corners of his lips at this time: "Then do you know that your eldest sister has been swept away by Shangshu Mansion?" ”
"What? You, Hugh is talking nonsense! Luo Yujin looked flustered when he heard this, it seemed that he had already learned about it.
Luo Yujin quibbled, and Zhao Qingfeng simply threatened: "The reason must be well known to Mr. Luo, so there is no need for Zhao to come out one by one in front of so many people." ”
The things that his sister did to corrupt the door, Luo Yujin naturally knew it.
Seeing so many people staring here, in order to avoid the ugliness of his family, Luo Yujin had no choice but to bow his head and remain silent.
Lu Xuan took advantage of the situation to speak: "So Luo Gongzi still refuses to pay taxes on the grounds of Lord Shangshu?" Three hundred taels, the official promised before, if you still haven't seen the tax before noon today, I hope Lord Shangshu can still protect you when the punishment is doubled. ”
After saying that, Lu Xuan pretended to be going to leave, but this time Luo Yujin was afraid.
I saw that he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop Lu Xuan: "Lord Lu, stay here!" ”
Lu Xuan stopped, and Luo Yujin hurriedly signaled to the family to go and get the silver taels: "It was Luo who was rude before, and asked Lord Lu to raise his noble hand, three hundred taels Luo ordered someone to prepare, and he must personally send it to the government before noon." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and turned to look at the official beside him: "Young Master Luo has already paid the tax, and if the remaining few families have not delivered the tax to the government after noon, they will come to the door to collect double, otherwise, they will be dealt with according to the law!" ”
After instructing, Lu Xuan returned to the mansion with everyone.
Less than half an hour after returning home, a group of wealthy businessmen who had resisted taxes came one after another, obviously hearing about Luo Yujin's affairs and coming to pay taxes obediently.
In this way, before noon, Lu Xuan had already collected all the taxes, and immediately ordered someone to post a notice to announce it to the people.
The people who came to the county government to make trouble before were convinced and stopped talking about tax refunds.
When Gu Huanli heard the news, he was dissatisfied, and only said to Lu Xuan: "The tax is still less." ”
Lu Xuan checked it repeatedly, and it was clear that there was a lot of money, and then he looked at Gu Huanli in surprise.
Gu Huanli asked Qin Xiao, "Has the appointed hour arrived?" ”
Qin Wei nodded: "Back to Your Highness, the hour has passed, but I haven't seen the prince named Du Che yet." ”
Seeing that the two of you said a word, Lu Xuan couldn't understand half of the sentence, and then asked: "What is Your Highness talking about, and who is Du Che?" ”
Gu Huanli raised his lips and smiled: "The creditor is just a creditor." ”
"Creditor?" Lu Xuan was puzzled, there was still anyone in the world who dared to owe a debt to this living Hades? Listening to the conversation between him and Qin Wei just now, most of this person has fled, so I am afraid that this debt will have to be repaid with his life.
Lu Xuan was thinking like this, when he saw a decently dressed man not far away being escorted in.
She was about to step forward, but saw Gu Huanli speak first: "Oh, the creditor is here." ”
"Let me go, why are you arresting me!" The person who was arrested was Du Che, and as for the person who arrested him, it was undoubtedly sent by Gu Huanli.
Du Che was still resisting all the way, until he saw Gu Huanli, and he was stunned: "It's you?" ”
He recognized Gu Huanli, who was the one who made a note with him in the teahouse that day.
Without waiting for Du Che to ask about the situation, Gu Huanli had already spoken: "Du Gongzi broke his promise, let me wait in the teahouse for a long time." ”
Lu Xuan was surprised when he heard this: Teahouse? Haven't you been here all along?
But this is not the point, the point is why Gu Huanli called this person a creditor?
Lu Xuan was wondering, only to see that the person who escorted Du Che immediately handed over the note that he had dug out of his home to Gu Huanli.
"Du Gongzi, remember this, you lost, ten times." Gu Huanli spread out the note in front of Du Che, and it was clearly written in black and white.
Du Che didn't admit it: "What about the notes, what can you do with me if I don't give me ten times the tax money?" The county magistrate can't manage the affairs of private documents. ”
Lu Xuan really couldn't care about this matter, but Du Che misunderstood what Gu Huanli meant, and he never thought of asking Lu Xuan to pay attention to this matter.
I saw his face sank: "She can't control it, what about me?" ”
"You? What are you. Du Che said wildly at Gu Huanli with a contemptuous face.
Lu Xuan stood aside and instantly prayed for him in his heart: Soon you will know who is the thing.
She shook her head helplessly, and even couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
Gu Huanli was very interested, and saw him raise his lips and smile: "Before asking me, should Du Gongzi first look at the name signed on this note?" ”
Since the establishment of the note, if Du Che takes a serious look, I am afraid he will not end up like this.
At this moment, after being reminded by Gu Huanli, Du Che tentatively looked at the bottom of the letterhead, but the three big characters that suddenly appeared in front of him made him almost faint.
