Chapter 66: A Gentle Knife
"The ancestral business of this family and the big living person of the slave family have all been mortgaged out by the slave family's husband!"
When Lin Meirou said this, she couldn't stop crying: "The husband of the slave family went home without a face, and under the shame and indignation, he hanged himself!
Lin Meirou's tears were like pearls with broken threads, falling down in a slump, and only after half a sound did she calm down a little, and continued: "On the second day of the death of the slave family's husband, this Xiao Dashao took the IOU set by the husband and came to the door to ask for this inn, and there is also the slave family! Fortunately, the neighbors on the left and right were blind, and they spoke for the slave family, Xiao Dashao agreed to be lenient for a while, but he had to pay 50,000 taels of interest every month!"
"The slave family is eager to repay the debt, so he will be ruthless to the tenants who live in the hotel! Who knows that in this way, the business of the inn is not as good as the other, and even the monthly profit cannot be paid! If it weren't for Brother Zhou to protect the slave family, I'm afraid!"
Although Lin Meirou did not say what means Xiao Jin used to make his husband owe huge gambling debts, Qian Junchen is also an old man, how can he not hear the cattiness!
Hearing Lin Meirou's crying, Qian Junchen's face became colder and colder, and it wasn't until Lin Meirou finished the whole thing from beginning to end that Qian Junchen snorted coldly: "Xiao Jin, what this boss lady said is true?"
Xiao Jin had been lying on the ground, not even daring to raise his head, the cold sweat all over his body had already soaked his luxurious clothes, and when he heard Qian Junchen's cold snort, he suddenly trembled and stammered: "It's almost the same, it's true!"
Qian Junchen said coldly: "If the old man is not mistaken, Xiao Qian is still sitting in the pill business, right? It seems that it is not small, let's talk about it, what did you do, what kind of medicine did you use to this innkeeper, so that he was fascinated and lost millions of taels overnight?"
Xiao Jin was shocked and muttered, "I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't take the medicine!"
Qian Junchen's slitting eyes flashed: "In this case, you can go to the Discipline Hall with the old man, under the soul searching technique, you are innocent or not, everything you know!"
When Xiao Jin heard this, his face suddenly turned like ashes, and he lost his soul and said: "Precept Discipline Hall, search for soul skills!"
Xiao Jin trembled like chaff, suddenly raised his head, and roared urgently: "Deacon Qian, the disciple remembered it, and said that everything was all a misunderstanding! The owner of this inn did not owe the disciple a single piece of silver. The IOU was a little joke we made when we were drunk. Who knew that he actually took the joke seriously, which caused all this to happen!"
"Hehe, what a joke! A joke can force other people's families to ruin, you Xiao Jin has a lot of ability!" Qian Junchen sneered.
Xiao Jin stretched out his hand and grabbed an IOU from his arms, presented it to Qian Junchen with both hands and said, "This is the IOU that caused trouble, let your old man dispose of it." ”
Qian Junchen swept the result, rubbed his hands, and the IOU suddenly turned into a confetti, and said solemnly: "Today's matter, the old man will not investigate it for the sake of your father Xiao Qian, who has worked hard for the sect for decades! If he says that he will do it again, the old man will not spare you!"
Xiao Jinru received amnesty, like a kowtow worm, and knocked his head on the bluestone floor: "Thank you Deacon Qian, thank you Deacon Qian!"
Qian Junchen waved his hand: "Get out, don't be an eyesore in front of the old man!"
Xiao Jin got up and fled with a group of family members.
"Wait!"
Zhou Hao, who was standing quietly on the sidelines and watching all this, suddenly came out and stopped.
Xiao Jin felt a chill in his heart, quickly turned around, and cautiously accompanied the smiling face: "I don't know if Brother Zhou has any other advice?"
Zhou Hao grinned and said, "Brother Xiao has forgotten, if the IOU is a joke, but the proprietress has paid you more than half a year's interest, how should this be calculated?"
Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my surname, the profit for most of the year, I should return it to Mrs. Lin!"
Zhou Hao turned his head to Lin Meirou and said, "Sister Meirou, how much money have you given in the past half a year?"
Lin Meirou already had an account in her heart, and replied without hesitation: "It's 400,000 taels!"
Zhou Hao said to Xiao Jin again: "Since this is the case, Brother Xiao will count the silver!"
Xiao Jin hurriedly took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms, counted out 400,000 taels and handed them to Lin Meirou, the proprietress was about to reach out to pick them up, but was stopped by Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao smiled mockingly: "Is Brother Xiao really shrewd or fake? These 400,000 taels have been in your hands for more than half a year, isn't there any profit? Sister Mei Rou's husband was forced to death by you, doesn't Brother Xiao feel a little guilty and give a little compensation? Sister Mei Rou has been in pain for more than half a year, not only has her spirit been greatly damaged, but even the inn's business has been greatly affected, shouldn't Brother Xiao make up for a little loss?"
Xiao Jin was sweating like rain by Zhou Hao's words, and quickly reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and begged: "Brother Zhou, I beg you not to play with the little brother! How much does it take to satisfy Brother Zhou, so why don't you give me a word?"
Zhou Hao smiled: "It's not up to me to have the final say, everything depends on Sister Mei Rou's thoughts!"
Zhou Hao said this in his mouth, but the hands behind his back kept gesturing to Lin Meirou.
Lin Meirou saw Zhou Hao's gesture, and her phoenix eyes instantly opened wide, and her small mouth was enough to stuff an egg. But after all, she had also seen the scene, so she immediately calmed down, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, the slave family can say it directly! Xiao Gongzi gave two million taels, and the slave family will no longer pursue it, how about it?"
When Zhou Hao heard this, his face turned bitter, and he hurriedly continued: "The 400,000 taels are naturally outside, and they are originally the boss's wife!"
Xiao Jin had a pain in his flesh, his face turned pale for a while, and he glanced at Qian Junchen, who was silent next to him, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Naturally, naturally, it is enough for 2.4 million taels, and the younger brother really can't make it up for a while, otherwise give me ten days to raise it, how about it?"
Zhou Hao raised three fingers and said, "Three days, give Brother Xiao three days!"
Xiao Jin secretly thought about it for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, three days is three days! Except for the 400,000 taels, the remaining two million taels will be offered with both hands after three days!"
Zhou Hao clenched his fists and laughed: "Then thank Brother Xiao for his righteousness and squandering money! He said that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely have a good relationship with Brother Xiao again!"
Xiao Jin smiled bitterly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
Xiao Jin hugged his fist at Zhou Hao and turned away, but looking at the gritted teeth after he went out, he really hated Zhou Hao to the core.
Although the Xiao family is rich, it is not his turn to be the master of Xiao Jin, and if he raises enough two million taels of silver in just three days, it is equivalent to cutting off his flesh.
When Xiao Jin was far away, Zhou Hao sighed lightly, and said to Lin Meiju in amazement: "Sister Meirou, you are really ruthless enough to rip off customers, but it is too gentle to cut Xiao Jin's knife! I still compare it to you with 20 million taels, not 2 million taels!"
"Ahem, ahem!" Qian Junchen, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly choked and coughed violently.
