Chapter 4 The Debt Crisis

"The Charleson family? Debt? ”

Hearing the name, Goodern automatically remembered the relevant information, but then frowned.

Why did this predecessor of his own leave him so much trouble?

The debt problem is both simple and complex.

It's just that the two noble lords next door have joined forces to pit his money, one has no money to develop minerals, and the other has money, and he acts as a middleman instead of borrowing money to develop it.

As a result, the mine thundered, and his life and death were unknown, and the Charleson family, who borrowed money, had to come forward to collect the debt.

This discerning person can see that it is a pit, but his predecessor still jumped out without hesitation and took down this huge pit.

But now it is he who is suffering, and at this moment he really wants to scold his mother now, but in order to maintain his image, he temporarily endures it.

Looking at Erin, Goodern asked after a quick thought.

"I didn't reveal what I woke up about, did I?"

"Nope." Erin shook her head.

"Yes, don't reveal my news later, now take someone to the side hall and wait."

"Yes, young master." Erin tapped her head and immediately went to make arrangements.

Goodern turned his gaze to the butler.

"Old Joseph, you will attend in my place later, and try the other party's attitude."

"Okay."

"Go ahead, I'll listen to it, and I'll come out myself depending on the situation."

As he spoke, Goodern got up, went to the sink next to him, wiped his greasy hands clean, and rinsed his mouth by the way.

Guided by his memory, he walked around to a dark room in the side hall, where he could clearly hear the sounds inside, and there was a very hidden hole for observation.

Goodern was amazed at this design, this kind of place is simply a holy place for some people!

In the side hall, the Charleson family messengers had already met with Joseph and were getting down to business.

"I'm sorry to visit at this time, we are deeply sympathetic to Master Gooden's plight, but we will have to talk about the debt issue separately......"

"You also know that the situation on the frontier has not been stable for a while, and the Charleson family has emptied all the coffers for the sake of their people, and we really need this debt very urgently."

The opponent came up with a combination of punches, and the well-informed Joseph responded unhurriedly.

"The debt problem is personally responsible for Young Master Gooden, and I don't know very well, why don't you stay here for a few more days, and wait for the young master to wake up and talk about it in person?"

The operation with the mud was already perfect for Joseph, and he threw the ball back in a few words.

And the messenger of the Charleson family obviously did not have this patience and went straight to the point.

"I am not here to discuss this with you, but to inform you."

"If there is no way to pay the arrears within seven days, I'm afraid we can only see it in the Imperial Arbitration Center, and then the lord of Qingyuan Town may have to change his name."

Gooden, who was hiding on the side, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, playing so big?

For the sake of three hundred imperial gold coins, run the Imperial Arbitration Institute to take away their own territory?

Even under such a naked threat, Joseph did not panic and spoke slowly.

"That's so welcome, I'd like to see where the Arbitration House stands in what you do."

"You!"

The other party was angry for a while and didn't know what to say, and then put down a cruel word.

"Wait, you can't recover the arrears within seven days, so you just wait to collect the body of your young master!"

With that, he got up and left the castle, and hurried back.

After pretending to be forced, you have to run away quickly, this is the other party's territory, in case the other party can't think of stopping himself, then it's the end of the calf.

Joseph didn't care about the messenger's previous words, but the last sentence had obviously aroused his anger, and he frowned slightly and looked at the back of the other party leaving.

After a while, Goodern, who was hiding in the shadows, came to the side hall.

"The other party's attitude is very tough, how much money do we have on hand now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there are 13 golds and 64 silvers left."

The old butler quickly reported his family wealth to Gooden, after all, as a housekeeper, he had to be stared at financially.

"That's all there is left?"

Joseph thought that the young master was to blame, and hurriedly explained: "You have spent a lot of money during this period of serious injury, and you have spent a lot of money to invite a priest from the nearest big city to ......."

Goodern was a little surprised, but he didn't mean to blame, after all, the lavish spending was done by his predecessor.

At this time, Joseph suddenly remembered the letter he received yesterday, although it seemed a little bad to say it at this time, but he still had to remind the young master.

"By the way, young master, Wang Du's family sent a letter yesterday."

"Oh? What does the letter say at home? Goodern was still thinking about the Charleson family's debts this time, and asked casually.

"The letter said that in the future, the funding problem of Qingyuan Town will be solved by yourself, and it will not be funded by the family in the future."

"Oh, I know...... What? No appropriation?! ”

Gudeen, who reacted, was directly stunned, the reason why his predecessor was able to live happily was completely funded by the royal capital's family, five hundred imperial gold coins a year.

Now that I've crossed it myself, I told him that I won't pay him anymore?

He just wanted to use his family's appropriation to settle this debt with pits, but he didn't expect to be strangled to death?

The succession of questions made Goodern a little irritated, why didn't everything go well?

Gudern, who had no clue, simply stopped thinking and slapped the table and got up.

"Forget it, I don't want to, let's go and solve the problem of the mole first, and I'll play a play with me later."

Old Joseph also understood what the young master meant, and hurriedly got up and went to the place where the soldiers of the castle guard lived.

Goodern already had a rough plan in mind, and Reg didn't touch him for the time being.

All he has to do now is to let him let his guard down, and wait for the next opportunity to use another wave to fish out the people who want him behind his back.

Castle courtyard.

Looking at the guards standing in two rows, Goodern asked Reg casually.

"Is everyone here?"

"Except for two killed in battle and one who was too seriously injured to get out of bed, the rest of them are all here."

There were twenty soldiers in the Guards, and only seventeen were present at the moment.

Goodern slowly scanned each of them, taking the shortest amount of time to look at the specific panels of the seventeen people.

To his surprise, six of the seventeen were based on their opinion rating, which meant that he might not be able to command them at a critical moment.

I can live again, I have to take good care of my little life, and I have to enjoy it later.

Without saying a word, Gooden named the six men.

"From now on you will no longer be my guards, hand in your equipment and weapons, and leave the castle today."

As soon as Goodern's order was spoken, the whole team exploded.

"What? Master, what did they do wrong? Why kick them out? ”

"Young Master, I'm your most loyal subordinate, you can't treat us like this!"

"It's a dereliction of duty for us to be attacked, but we can't do this, your safety depends on us!"

……

Looking at the noisy crowd, Gooden's eyes became a little cold, and he said indifferently.

"Those who continue to argue will get out of here with them."

When the words fell, everyone who was still helping to speak closed their mouths, and only the six people were still crying wolves.
