Chapter 162: Debt Payment
Someone can pay back the money!
The person in charge is the manager of the casino, who specializes in borrowing gambling funds to collect profits, and with Li Sanzhu in his pocket, he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.
The leader waved at the seven or eight thugs, "Stop!" Since people want to repay the money, we have not opened a gambling hall in the county for a day or two, open the door to do business, have always been honest, pay attention to children's deception, and can not do things absolutely! ”
Seven or eight thugs didn't dare to do it for a long time, and as soon as they heard the steward, someone suddenly came to the confidence and shouted in a bluff: "Our Changshun gambling hall has taken root in the county, and it has not been a year or two. ”
Show your name, this is a naked threat!
In the case of gambling, the attitude of the imperial court has always been supplemented by laws and regulations, and education is the mainstay. After all, there are thousands of forms of gambling, and apart from the fact that the law clearly stipulates which forms of gambling officials are not allowed to participate in, other gambling behaviors cannot be one-size-fits-all.
This kind of gambling hall opened in the county seat, firstly, relying on the high mountain emperor is far away, and secondly, it is to grasp the loopholes of the imperial court decrees. Moreover, there must be someone to protect you on the surface, and all kinds of interests are entangled behind your back, that is, if you don't have any ability, you want to open a gambling house, in other words, you are not ordinary people.
There are also villagers watching here, Li Sanzhu doesn't want to worry about these people at the moment, and wants to send people away quickly, "...... Take out the notes and I'll take a look! ”
The leader glanced at the onlookers, he had seen a lot of this kind of scene, and he had a little money at home, so what could he do with them?
When you come to find faults, you always have to investigate it in advance, and the leader handed over a note with a smile, "You are the third master of the Li family, right?" ”
Although it was an inquiring tone, it was very determined. He is not afraid that Li Sanzhu will destroy the note, this one has no handprints and does not count.
Li Sanzhu took the note, glanced deeply at the leader of the person, and waited to see the handwriting on the note clearly, whether Rao was prepared in his heart, or was he shocked by the amount of silver on it......
Li Qiusui understands her father's approach, gambling and borrowing money is extremely bad no matter what the impact is, in front of so many people, it is not a good time to solve the problem, send people away first, and when the matter is clear, it is not too late to think about it in the long run.
Li Qiusui stood silently behind Li Sanzhu, and she naturally saw the handwriting on the note clearly.
I owe more than five hundred taels!
To be precise, Li Sizhu borrowed ten taels at the beginning, and his efforts increased more than fifty times in three days.
Li Sanzhu's hands trembled, it was really like the silver was blown by the wind! It's more than five hundred taels! For an ordinary family of more than ten people, the expenses for a whole year are only five or six taels of silver.
How dare they open their mouths......
Li Qiusui pulled Li Sanzhu's sleeve and lowered his voice and said, "Dad, there must be something to do here, give it to them first." ”
Gambling borrowing money, one day, two days, this is not unusual, but ten taels of silver, three days, more than 50 times, this is unusual.
And Li Sizhu, why do you want to gamble?
The more I think about it, the more strange it becomes.
Li Sanzhu also thought of this, glared fiercely at Li Sizhu, who was curled up in a ball, took a deep breath, and beckoned Zhou Ping over.
He didn't say anything superfluous, but commanded in a low voice, "Go to the house and get five hundred taels of silver tickets." ”
This money must be paid by Li Sanzhu first, not to mention that Li Sizhu is idle, that is, Li Erzhu and Li Dazhu, plus the purses of Li Guangmao and his wife, are all collected together, and they may not be able to save a fraction.
Li Sanzhu was also afraid of making the old man angry again.
"What five hundred taels?"
Li Guangmao has been stroking his chest, Li Sanzhu's voice is low, he has been paying attention to the movements here, and people who usually have a little behind their ears will hear the words clearly at once.
Li Sanzhu hurriedly turned around to appease the old man, "Dad, money is a trivial matter, in the future, let the fourth child sell himself to my family to pay for the silver, I think he still dares to go out and mess around?" ”
Li Sanzhu was appeasing the old man's words, but Li Guangmao lowered his head and thought about it seriously, and nodded his head in agreement, "Look at his cowardice, even if he sells it, it can't be worth your five hundred taels of silver, from now on, I will be in charge, and the four rooms will go to help your family work to pay off the debt, and I can't pay it off, don't want to recognize me as a father for the rest of my life!" ”
Why is the old man still serious! Li Sanzhu scratched his head, "Dad, let's discuss this matter later, it's cold on the ground, you go to sit on the stool for a while." ”
The old man was helped by Li Erzhu and Li Sanzhu to sit on the bench.
The man in the lead raised his eyebrows in some surprise when he saw that the silver was promising, rolled his eyes, and leaned over and said, "The old man is really blessed, he has many sons, and they are all filial!" I see you, good days are yet to come! ”
Li Guangmao was proud in his heart, and he knew who was speaking, so he snorted angrily.
This person was slippery, and gave Li Sanzhu a thumbs up again, "It's still the third master of the Li family, but our people were reckless before!" In this way, from now on, you friend, my Wang Mao is recognized! ”
Li Sanzhu helped the old man straighten out his somewhat messy clothes, and said without raising his head: "I'm a flat-headed commoner, but I don't dare to make a friend like Mr. Wang!" ”
Li Qiusui's eyes rolled, and he took over the conversation and said, "This Uncle Wang is right!" If you really look up to our family, tell us, how come these ten taels of silver have become more than five hundred taels in just three days? ”
Wang Mao has an impression of Li Qiusui, just this girl with a big stick dance, she really has two hands, he thinks he has two points of knowledge, he doesn't like to underestimate the female doll, if he has the ability, he is qualified to speak!
He smiled and didn't answer, "Look at what the girl said, since you called me uncle, I will give you a thorough understanding today, and I will also manage these people to collect the accounts, as for it, how to calculate?" We don't recognize a few words, after all, what is commanded by the above, let's do it! ”
Deserved, deserved!
Li Qiusui nodded very understandingly.
After chatting a few more words and figuring out the specific location of the gambling house in the county seat, Li Qiusui also said, "Then, Uncle Wang, when I go to the county seat, I will go to your house to visit my aunt, when the time comes, can you pretend that you don't know me and see you behind closed doors!" ”
The little girl really dares to climb up the pole!
Wang Mao naturally has nothing to do," ...... Just go, just go! I also have a young lady who is older than you, and she will let her take you to the jewelry store in the county to buy flowers to wear. ”
Li Qiusui naturally agreed.
The two were chatting lively, and Zhou Ping ran back panting.
"Sir!"
Zhou Ping respectfully handed over a stack of silver tickets.
Li Sanzhu counted five hundred taels out, and took out ten taels from his purse, and Zhou Ping took them over and handed them to Wang Mao.
Wang Mao hurriedly took it and counted it decently, "Oh, there are three taels more than that......"
Li Sanzhu waved his hand, "It's time to give the brothers tea money." ”
Saying this, Wang Mao happily put it away, and handed over the note with Li Sizhu's handprint.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to call Li Sanzhu to the side and reminded him alone, "Third master, did your family offend anyone in the county seat?" Let's come here, but someone specifically hinted that we were making a big fuss! ”
Li Sanzhu frowned, arched his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”
Wang Mao left satisfied, and the backers behind him stiffened, reminding him that it was just for the sake of the family's knowledge.
