Chapter 118: Debt Collection
At this time, Zhao Heng's eyes were full of gold stars, and he didn't know how to get out. And Yao Yuran on the side, although she was made angry by these, she still maintained a trace of sanity, she squeezed over and came to the middle of them.
Yao Yuran's eyes fell on an IOU, and she saw the scribbled handwriting on the note, although it was signed with the three big characters of 'Zhao Hengzhi', but the penmanship of this signature was not from Zhao Hengzhi's technique.
"Hey! You people, if you want to blackmail money, you are looking for the wrong person, you are holding these IOUs in your hands, and the documents on credit are not signed by my husband! Yao Yuran said in a heartfelt manner, she has always had a clear distinction between right and wrong, if these are the money owed by Zhao Hengzhi, she will consider herself unlucky and wipe her ass for Zhao Hengzhi.
If these were framed by others to Zhao Hengzhi, she would definitely not be stupid enough to admit it and be the wronged leader.
"Mrs. Zhao, although this note was not signed by Lord Zhao, I know that they are all friends of Lord Zhao, and a few days ago, Lord Zhao went to our Ruyi Building with them to drink!"
At this moment, a pot-bellied man dressed in blue and with a gold tooth stood up to speak. And Yao Yuran also recognized that this man was Shen Sheng, the owner of Ruyi Building.
"Boss Shen, are the names of those people you are talking about Yu Langyan, Meng Yanqi, and Fang Hongwei?" Yao Yuran raised her eyebrows, and the faces of Zhao Hengzhi's foxes and dogs immediately appeared in her mind.
Only those few people would be so brazen and push all the accounts of their expenses to Zhao Hengzhi.
Shen Sheng nodded again and again, and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, I heard that they did call these names. He couldn't match his name with his face, but he remembered that they had shouted.
Zhao Hengzhi listened, his face turned pale, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he did say a few days ago that he wanted to invite them to that meal, but he didn't say that the accounts of their meals in the future were recorded on his head Zhao Hengzhi!
These wolf-hearted guys really treat him as an iron rice bowl, isn't it because they can't get along with him.
"Okay, you Zhao Hengzhi, look at what friends you have made?!" Yao Yuran was angry, she knew that these "four evils" from the capital were not so easy to deal with, and now she really got into trouble.
"Lady, don't be angry first, I'll go to them first, this money is spent by them, and I won't let the lady come to pay this unjust money for her husband." Zhao Hengzhi first calmed Yao Yuran's emotions.
Yao Yuran glanced at him coldly and said, "No, I have to go with you, you are confused again, and you will come out of this account for them." ”
"Yes, yes, or let the lady go with her husband." Zhao Hengzhi said with a flattering smile.
Yao Yuran crossed his hands on his hips again, put on a righteous and dignified appearance, and said to those who came to collect debts: "Everyone, please go back, I, Yao Yuran, am also an honest person in the business community of Micheng, and I will definitely seek justice for you!" ”
"We don't need justice, we just want to collect debts!" The fat aunt from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion shouted.
"Okay, I'll let them give them the money!" Yao Yuran patted his chest and assured, and those people could still give Yao Yuran face, so they all dispersed.
Yao Yuran grabbed the sleeve of Shen Sheng, the boss of Ruyi Building, in time, and hurriedly asked, "Boss Shen, do you know where Yu Langyan and the three of them are now?" ”
Shen Sheng opened his mouth and said: "I know, they live in the Wubao Inn, and the proprietress of the Wubao Inn, Li Xiumei, also complained to me, she was worried that when Yu Langyan and them left the inn, would they refuse to give the silver......
"Hmph, these people are too much, Aunt Ben must go to them to settle accounts!" Yao Yuran said angrily, she picked up her arms, rolled up her sleeves, and planned to go to the Wubao Inn to settle accounts with them.
Zhao Hengzhi hurriedly followed Yao Yuran's footsteps, he secretly looked at Yao Yuran with his spare eyes, looking at her gloomy face, he couldn't help but worry about Yu Langyan and the others, I don't know, how Yao Yuran will clean them up later.
Yao Yuran walked through the bustling street and came to the last storefront on Yanwei Street, she looked up at the five-storey wooden building, the reason why the Wubao Inn is called the 'Wubao' Inn is precisely because the Wubao Inn is five stories high.
She saw that there were two stone lions at the door of the inn, mighty and brave, greeting the travelers, and the plaque of the inn was written with the words "Five Packs Inn", shining golden in the sun.
"Let's go inside!" Yao Yuran said to the handsome and extraordinary man beside him, Zhao Hengzhi touched his nose at this time, followed Yao Yuran's footsteps, and walked into the inn.
Ooh! As soon as Yao Yuran entered the door, he saw Meng Yanqi, Yu Langyan and Fang Hongwei as the three of them, sitting in front of the sumptuous banquet with Erlang's legs crossed, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
And the three of them shamelessly beckoned to Zhao Hengzhi and said, "Brother Zhao came just in time, hurry up and have a glass of wine with your buddies!" ”
"Come on, Brother Zhao, we just lack one." A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Yu Langyan's mouth.
And Fang Hongwei also put the half-eaten sweet and sour pork ribs on the plate, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Mrs. Sister-in-law is also here, there are so many delicious foods, we can't eat them all." ”
Yao Yuran rushed to them angrily, and she looked around, there were more than a dozen dishes on the table, including sauced pig's trotters, fried prawns with green onions, grilled marinated pigeon, and steamed crucian carp...... The dishes ordered are all the most expensive dishes in the Wubao Inn!
It's just expensive to order, the key is that they still order a lot, these dozen dishes, let alone the five of them, even ten people may not be able to eat them.
Seeing their innocuous faces, Yao Yuran was even more angry, and she tried her best to restrain the urge to put the plate on their faces.
Yao Yuran said coldly: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, don't you know thrift?" Or are you going to make Zhao Hengzhi pay? ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three of them darkened, and Fang Hongwei was the first to sit still.
I saw Fang Hongwei stand up suddenly, pointed at Yao Yuran's nose and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, listen to the meaning of your words, shouldn't we let Brother Zhao pay for a treat?" ”
"Hmph, we came to Micheng from the capital thousands of miles away, just to see Brother Zhao, but Mrs. Sister-in-law locked Brother Zhao in the yamen and didn't let him see us! In order to make up for the sadness in our hearts, of course we have to let Brother Zhao pay! Yu Langyan said as a matter of course.
Zhao Hengzhi didn't dare to come out, the people on both sides were very important to him, and he dared to offend one of them.
The atmosphere was quite embarrassing, and Yao Yuran also knew that they felt that they had been neglected by Zhao Hengzhi, so they openly ate and drank spicy food in Micheng, in order to take revenge on her.
"Don't spew blood, I didn't lock my husband in the yamen at all, because he didn't want to fool around with you fox friends and dogs." Yao Yuran snorted coldly, a trace of disdain in her eyes.
These people, who are simply scoundrels, indiscriminately splashed dirty water on her. She then looked at Zhao Hengzhi and gave him a look.
Zhao Hengzhi knew that Yao Yuran wanted him to help her speak, so he said: "Okay, everyone extinguishes the fire, in fact, this matter is my Zhao someone's fault, it is my own willingness to stay in the mountain behind the yamen and help with farm work." My lady didn't coerce me. ”
Meng Yanqi and Yu Langyan heard Zhao Hengzhi's words, their mood fell to the bottom, they were originally worried that Zhao Hengzhi would be abused by Yao Yuran in the yamen, they went to the yamen to look for him repeatedly, but they didn't see him.
That's why he made this decision, eating and drinking in Micheng, and counting all the accounts on Zhao Hengzhi's body, just to anger Yao Yuran, so as to take the opportunity to let Zhao Hengzhi out.
"Brother Zhao, don't be afraid, come out with the majesty of a manly man! If you are really wronged, complain to our buddies, we will definitely make the decision for you! Meng Yan Qiyi said righteously.
"No, I'm fine, I just hope you pay off all the debts you owe!" Zhao Hengzhi hurriedly persuaded that he didn't have much money now, and all the financial power was in Yao Yuran's hands, he wanted to pay off these debts for them, but he was powerless, and he didn't dare to anger Yao Yuran, so he had to spend more time persuading them.
Meng Yanqi set his eyes on Fang Hongwei and Yu Langyan, wanting to hear what their opinions were. Yu Langyan shook the paper fan and said with a smile: "It's not impossible for us to pay off those accounts ourselves." It's just that, Brother Zhao, you have to play happily with us in Micheng for a few days. ”
Yao Yuran had a gloomy face, these treacherous and cunning foxes really had the idea of bringing Zhao Hengzhi badly, and Yao Yuran also made up his mind that he would never let them succeed.
"Forget it, you better dispel this idea as soon as possible, my husband is very busy in the yamen, and he doesn't have time to mess with you. Yao Yuran didn't wait for Zhao Hengzhi's answer, and answered this question for him on the spot.
She would rather spend an extra sum of money than watch her husband embark on the path of a gentleman's brother again.
The three of them didn't expect Yao Yuran to speak so simply, and even spent money to help them fill in the debts.
The corners of Yu Langyan's mouth rose slightly, and he hooked his lips and said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is really generous, then we are decided, next, we will still stay in Micheng, and when the time comes, Mrs. Sister-in-law will have to help us pay for food, drink, and housing, all of which depend on Mrs. Sister-in-law!" ”
"You don't have to take an inch!" Yao Yuran was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but when she faced this gang of scoundrels, she also felt exhausted.
Fang Hongwei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's too late for you to regret it now!" There was a sly smile in his eyes. Unexpectedly, the clever trick that the three of them came up with together could also force Yao Yuran to be anxious.
