Xiao Er knew that Xi Le'an and others were looking for a nurse and recommended his sister-in-law to them, and the nurse was cheeky to ask Xi Le'an for three months' wages, and Xi Le'an heard that they owed Yinzi money to repay the debt, so he generously gave the money to the nurse.

Qu Jingfu and Xi Lexian were born in the countryside, and Gou Qingli was born in a wealthy family, but he was young, and then he entered the Teaching Division, and he didn't know what Yinzi money was, so he asked Xi Le'an suspiciously.

"It's not a good thing." Xi Le'an said, "Yinzi money is usury, the moneylender issues loans at usury, the principal and interest are calculated together when due, and the borrower must return it in installments, this interest is very heavy, and there is a folk saying that Yinzi money, one repays three; Profit rolls profits, turning over year after year; Borrow for one year, repay for ten years; It's not over for a few lifetimes! If it is not a last resort, ordinary people are unwilling to borrow money from India. Of course, there are also some powerful families who rely on their status and power to force others to borrow money in order to make money. ”

Xi Le'an took a sip of water and said, "This kind of thing is very common nowadays. In today's world, natural disasters often occur, the officials in the court only know how to fight for power and profit, do not know how to appease the people, regard the suffering of the people as nothing, the people in addition to dealing with natural disasters but also deal with man-made disasters, life is extremely difficult, forced to the edge of the cliff to borrow money. And this borrowing money is tantamount to drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, and it is even more miserable than drinking a donkey to quench your thirst. ”

Qu Jingfu and Xi Lexian felt uncomfortable listening to it, they saw the hardships of many people along the way, and also saw the inaction of the officials, and even some officials exploited the people to satisfy their rich life. When they saw this, they hated to kill those corrupt officials.

Xi Le'an looked at the bad eyes of the three of them and said, "You don't have to be sad, this kind of world will end sooner or later." The people are still patient, and when they can't bear it anymore, they will rebel, and then it will be time for the dynasty to change. ”

"Isn't there going to be a war?" Gou Qingli was worried.

Xi Le'an said: "So we are going to Lingnan." It is far away from the Central Plains, and the war rarely spreads there. ”

Xi Lexian admired her brother's insight very much: "The eldest brother is really wise. ”

Speaking of which, I can't help but feel sorry for my eldest brother, with my eldest brother's knowledge and ability, if I don't enter the palace, I will definitely have a bright future. It's all to blame on Uncle Xi and Uncle Xi.

Xi Lexian secretly gritted her teeth.

"Ah, it's almost time, I'm going to cook." Xi Lexian jumped up and was about to run to the kitchen. Gou Qingli also stood up and wanted to go into the kitchen to help Xi Lexian light the fire.

Qu Jingfu now has a son, his father's love is bursting, and he went to play with his son, Xi Le'an walked into the yard, made a few stretching movements, and was about to play a set of boxing to practice his skills, when he suddenly heard a chaotic footsteps outside the door and the shouts of some people.

"Poor scholar, since you can't pay back the money, it's better to hand over your sister to us and still owe the debt."

I heard a trembling voice shouting, "You are not allowed to beat my sister." ”

"If you don't beat your sister's idea, then you pay back."

"I—I haven't scraped together enough money for a while, and when I've scraped together enough, I'll return the money to you with interest."

"Hehe, originally returned to us with interest? With such a poor talent as you, can you make up all the principal and interest? There was disdain in his voice, and in addition to that, there were many voices that mocked the scholar.

"I, I can."

"Okay, we'll give you five days, and after five days, you'll give us back one hundred and twenty taels of silver, including interest."

"How can there be so many?" The scholar exclaimed, "I only borrowed thirty taels of silver, and you made me pay back four times as much silver." ”

"That's it, and the interest is so high. If you can't afford to pay it back, don't borrow it in the first place. Remember, you're only given five days, and if you don't have the money, not only your sister, but also your beautiful wife, will be ours. ”

"No, you can't. Is there any royal law left? ”

"Wang Fa? Hum. Do you know who our master is? It is the prefect. In Suicheng, the words of the prefect are the king's law. ”

After a sound of footsteps, the debt collector left, and the scholar who borrowed the debt got up slowly, and walked out of the alley outside their door with heavy steps.

Gou Qingli and Xi Lexian stood behind Xi Le'an, the sound outside was too loud, they came out to investigate the situation after hearing it, and listened to the whole thing outside.

"It is too much to borrow thirty taels of silver and ask someone to pay back one hundred and twenty taels. If they had so much silver, how could they have borrowed thirty taels from them in the first place? Xi Lexian said angrily.

Gou Qingli sighed: "There is no way, you haven't heard of it, these people have a backstage, and the backstage is the biggest official in the city, and the scholar has no way to sue the official." ”

"Those people called that scholar poor, and if you think that person will not be able to raise a hundred and twenty taels in five days, then won't his wife and sister be arrested by those people?" Xi Lexian couldn't help but worry about the scholar's wife and sister, why were they wrong, just because the scholar made a wrong decision, they had to be responsible for the scholar's mistake?

"Unless something happens to those people and their backstage, the scholar's wife and sister will definitely not be able to escape, and they can't say that they have arrested the scholar's wife and sister, and said that the scholar has not paid off the debt, forcing the scholar to continue to repay the money." Gou Qingqi said.

When Xi Lexian heard this, her eyes rolled: "Is it that something happened to those people and the prefect, and the scholar's wife and sister will be fine?" ”

Gou Qingli was taken aback by her words, and hurriedly said, "Don't you want to get rid of the prefect and those people?" But don't, you've only learned a little kung fu, it's okay to fight one or two middle-aged people, but if you have a large number of people, you're not an opponent. ”

Xi Lexian said: "Aren't there still you?" Won't you help me? ”

Gou Qingli smiled bitterly: "Le Xian, it's not right to kill people." Moreover, even if we help you get rid of those debt collectors, as long as the prefect is still there, he will be able to train another group of debt collectors. And the prefect is not something that can be killed casually, there are a lot of people around him. ”

Xi Lexian looked at Xi Le'an and said, "I heard Brother Jingfu say that with his brother's ability, he can freely enter and leave the palace without being discovered by the palace guards, and the guards of the prefect's family can still be as tight as the palace?" ”

She blinked her eyes wide and looked at Xi Le'an pleadingly: "Brother, will you help me?" No, you can't say to help me, it's to help these poor people who are oppressed by the prefect in Suicheng. ”

Silean: "......"
