"Ladies and gentlemen, you are doing well, how about a few more days of grace?"

The vendor of cooking cakes was a middle-aged man over half a hundred years old, with a gray beard and a skinny body, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

He knelt down in front of several big men at once, and kowtowed again and again.

"A few masters, you have already taken all the money earned by the villain!"

"Even if you ask for silver, you always have to let the old man sell the cooking cakes for a few days, don't you say?"

"I came here last night, and as soon as it dawned today, I came to the stall again. Why are you suffering? ”

"Old Yutou, don't pretend to be stupid to the uncles, is this what the uncles are talking about?"

The leading man was carrying a big knife on his shoulder, and the whole person was full of gangsterism, so frightened that the people around him did not dare to approach.

The big man also seemed to know that his big knife was very scary, and he deliberately held the knife in one hand and pointed it at the old man.

"Old Yutou, I will give you two choices now, either pay back the money immediately and take out the ten taels of silver you borrowed from us; Or, send your daughter to our Hou Ye's house! The choice is yours, right? ”

When Lao Yutou heard this, he was so frightened that his face instantly lost blood.

"Uncle, this is not possible, absolutely not!"

"My family is younger, but now she is only cardamom old, and she is not yet married, she ......"

"What nonsense are you talking about, do you think Lao Tzu is discussing with you?"

The big man said, picked up the big knife and patted the old man's thin cheek,

The next moment, a bright red mark appeared on Lao Yutou's cheek.

But if you are old, where do you dare to resist?

can only kowtow vigorously and beg for mercy, while secretly shaking his head towards a place.

But at this moment, a crisp voice sounded in the middle of the crowd.

"You scoundrels, let my dad go!"

"Don't you just want to arrest me, I'll just go with you, don't bully my father!"

As he spoke, a little Lori in a cloth dress with a delicate figure rushed out of the crowd.

No powder, but pure and lovely, although not a rare peerless beauty, but with a sister next door, sweet feeling.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao came out, the rest of the big men were all relieved.

In fact, they've been given a death mission from above.

If they do not bring it back within three days, they will be punished by the Lord's house.

"You're just small, aren't you?"

"Come with us now, and we'll naturally let your father go. But well...... You have to come over first and walk in front of the uncle! ”

There was not the slightest fear in the eyes of the lesser ones.

She was about to move forward, but the sad voice of the old man suddenly sounded.

"Silly boy, what are you doing?"

"Do you really think that this kind of person will leave Daddy alive?"

"Run, run to a crowded place!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several big men changed.

One of the big men kicked Lao Yutou directly in the face and kicked him directly into the mud.

"Old thing, did Uncle let you speak?"

"Say a few words, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"

On the other side, the leading man also realized that the situation had changed, and immediately opened his mouth and ordered:

"Everyone, catch this girl immediately, don't let her run away!"

"I'm stunned, come on!"

With an order, the group of junior brothers brought over by the leading big man rushed towards Xiao Xiao as if they were crazy.

As a child, how did you ever see such a scene?

She turned pale with fright and froze in place.

On the other side,

On the sugar gourd stall,

The old man who sold sugar gourds sighed long,

"These people who kill a thousand knives are simply beasts!"

"No, they should say that they are not as good as beasts! Relying on his aristocratic status, he is so lawless! Carefully calculated, this is already the sixth, right? ”

The sixth?

Hearing the old man's self-talk, Yang Dong raised his eyebrows slightly,

He never expected that as soon as he returned to the capital, he would see such a scene.

He subconsciously turned his head and asked in a low voice:

"Stallholder, isn't this the first time these people have done such a thing?"

"Little brother, you're from outside, aren't you?"

The old man of the sugar gourd glanced at Yang Dong, and immediately sighed,

"Don't you know, these nobles in the capital are now like crazy!"

"Did you see these big men, in fact, they are all thugs raised by nobles. These people, for some reason, suddenly started a business selling silver. What you see today is just the old man who has no silver in his hand, and the daughter of the family happens to be very good-looking. ”

Selling silver??

This time, it was Yang Dong's turn to be confused.

Because he never expected that there would be such a business in this capital?

Isn't silver money?

How do you sell this thing?

A tael of silver, buy back a tael of silver?

Perhaps seeing the doubt in Yang Dong's eyes, the old man of the sugar gourd sighed again,

"Young man, it seems that you really don't know anything, it must be the first time to come to the capital, right?"

"The old man told you, this selling silver is a business that these powerful people came up with, but anyone who does business in this Baiwufang will come to sell silver as long as they are targeted."

"If you sell ten taels of silver, you will pay back twenty taels! And it's within three months! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong's eyes revealed a sudden color.

What sells for silver,

Isn't this just lending money?

In three months, the repayment is doubled, and the interest for three months is 100%?

I don't know which little genius came up with such a business,

As long as the brain is not squeezed by the door, who will "buy" this kind of silver?

"What you mean, stall owner, I probably understand. But I still have some things to figure out. ”

"In three months, the silver sold will be doubled, and normal people won't buy this kind of silver at all, right?"

"How can their business continue?"

The old man of the sugar gourd glanced at Yang Dong, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"You're still too young, young man."

"Do you know, before the nobles, why did you add a power word?"

"With power, are they nobles?"

"And aren't these businesses that sell silver just because they have the right in their hands to do whatever they want?"

Yang Dong frowned,

"You mean, they use their power to force people to buy silver?"

"Yes, if they find someone and refuse to buy it, this person's stall will not be able to continue to work in Baiwufang."

When Yang Dong heard this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"In that case, doesn't the government care?"

"I remember that His Majesty issued a decree to encourage standardized operations."
