On the sixth day of December in the 70th year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, at that time, the Ministry of Household Affairs and Finance Department was in the office.

Xu Wuxi rummaged for a long time, and finally found two IOUs from the treasury, he beckoned to Song Jinhua on the side, and said, "Old Song, go!"

"Where are you going? What do you want to do after you've been busy for a long time?" Song Jinhua looked dazed.

"You'......ll know when you go," Xu Wuxian strode out......

What's more, Song Jinhua is also quite curious about what Xu Wuxian is going to do. He only felt that this young household experience had a different kind of strength in his body, and the person who could have this strength was probably no one else in the entire household department at the moment, except for Xu Wuxi......

Song Jinhua followed Xu Wuxian out of the door of the household department, and Zhao Wu and Ding Liu, who came out of the gatehouse, hurriedly smiled at the two of them and said, "Master Song, Xu Experience, where are you going to run an errand?"

Xu Wuxi showed them a copy of the household document stamped with the official seal of the Si Financial Administration, and said lightly: "We are going to ask for debts......

"Asking for debts...... Such a good thing!" Zhao Wu and Ding Liu's eyes couldn't help but shine, revealing a look of envy on their faces......

"Why don't you two go with us?" Song Jinhua said with a smile.

As soon as he heard that he was going to ask for debts, Song Jinhua's heart suddenly felt relieved, and he secretly said that he owed debts to repay money, which has been a matter of course since ancient times. He Xu Wuxian has an IOU and a document from the Treasury in his hand, they are asking for debts for the treasury, and their waists are naturally stiff, even if the other party can't pay it back for the time being, they always have to stuff some benefits for the officials who handle it......

"Howler, is this a debt collector...... Naturally, there are many people...... In terms of momentum, you have to suppress the other party......" Zhao Wu replied.

"Yes, yes, yes, the little one also has a lot of experience in this way of collecting debts, wait a while, there is no need for the two officials to go out, look at the small ones' means......" Ding Liu also hurriedly replied.

In addition to having the same thoughts as Song Jinhua, these two officials naturally have one more idea, that is, to release their suspicions as soon as possible with the newcomer Xu Shi, and quickly establish a good relationship, you know, this is the proud disciple of Lord Shangshu, and he will be a person with a bright future in the future, if he is offended, their official jobs are afraid that they will not be guaranteed......

The group went out in high spirits and triumphantly. Song Jinhua couldn't help asking:

"Brother Xu, where are we going to ask for debts?......

"Goshidai!"

......

Almost at the same time, Pan Wenjuan, a member of the household department who was sitting next to the bookcase and was immersed in reading the papers, suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise:

"That's what he said?"

"It's true!" said Jiang Chongmin, the household servant on the side.

"Are you just stamping him like this?" Pan Wenjuan put down the case file in his hand, stood up and paced back and forth a few steps, his face showing a little dissatisfaction......

Jiang Chongmin hurriedly said: "The document he wrote by himself only said that it was the tolerance of the household department, and he went out to chase the debt, and the lower official only said that he went to an ordinary person to ask for debts, so he stamped his signature...... Later, when the lower official asked him where he was going to recover the arrears, he replied that I was seeking from the prince...... The lower official wants to be stopped, this Xu experience has already gone far away, and the lower official can't stop it if he wants to......"

Pan Wenjuan asked again: "How can he know that the prince owes the treasury two silver taels?"

Jiang Chongmin said: "The lower officials are also wondering in their hearts, it is said that the person who borrowed the silver, one is the palace servant, and the other is the servant of the ministry, how can he Xu Xu know that these two people are the prince's people? Will it be ...... It was Akira-sama who instructed ?......"

"Nonsense! Lord Qiu has just been promoted to Shangshu, and he doesn't know the inside, even if Lord Qiu knows, he won't send a mere experience to ask the prince for debts!" Pan Wenjuan said.

"That'...... Xiaguan is going to report to Lord Qiu!" Jiang Chongmin said busily.

"Slow!" Pan Wenjuan raised his hand to stop Jiang Chongmin, and he said slowly:

Xu experienced a young age, enthusiastic about business, and took the initiative to ask Ying to ask for the treasury to owe silver...... Isn't that a good thing...... I'll wait...... Don't worry about it......"

......

Two hours later, the Great Cadre Department.

If it was said that an hour ago in the Yushitai, everyone still had some confidence, but when they arrived at the Ministry of Officials at this time, whether it was Song Jinhua, Zhao Wu, or Ding Liu, they were all a little uneasy in their hearts......

Just now, he was just a servant of the palace from the fourth grade, and he was quite polite to you, after all, you have the official document of the household department in your hand, and the IOU of 300,000 taels of silver is also signed by himself. In front of his colleagues, the palace attendant could only say some good things, and at the end he nodded and agreed, and was tolerant, and after a while, he should return the favor......

But now, when Song Jinhua looked at this IOU, he couldn't help but gasp. The amount of silver borrowed amounted to 800,000 taels! This is still counted, but I saw that the word "Bi Songyun" was clearly written on the place where the payment was made. Who is Bi Songyun, it is the official of the three grades of the official rank, and even more, everyone in the court knows that he Bi Songyun is a celebrity in front of the prince, if anyone offends him, he will lose the black yarn at the least, and his life will be difficult to protect......

"It turns out that you, Xu Wuxi, are going for the prince......" Song Jinhua said secretly. He couldn't help but regret himself, why he rushed over with Xu Wuxi recklessly. Now, he wanted to turn around and go back, but he was really embarrassed, so he had to hand over the official document to Zhao Wu and ordered him to hand over the official document to the official department, saying that he wanted to meet Master Bi of the official department.

Zhao Wu and Ding Liu's mood at the moment was even more regretful than Song Jinhua's, they followed Xu Wuxian for two hours, not to mention getting benefits, and they haven't even drunk a sip of hot tea until now. Now that they heard the master say that they were going to ask for a debt from the minister, the two of them were so frightened that they panicked inexplicably. However, these two people did not want to be looked down upon, so they had to turn their hearts sideways and stepped into the door of the ministry.

"Lord Shangshu has a lot of opportunities, how can I have the leisure to see these little officials in your household, go, go quickly, go quickly......" There was a noise inside......

"This official is performing official duties and recovering the treasury debts, but he is blocked by you and others for no reason, if something goes wrong, can you afford it!" Xu Wuxian walked into the door of the official department with his head held high, and said awe-inspiringly.

Perhaps intimidated by the momentum of Xu Wuxian's body, several concierge officials muttered a few words in a low voice, and the first person said: "Then you wait, I'll report it, but I don't know if Lord Shangshu will see you......

Xu Wuxi waved his hand, the man took the official document of the household department, ran into the yatang of the ministry in small steps, and after a moment or so, the man ran back and said:

"Master Bi told you to go in......"

Xu Wuxian strode in, Song Jinhua next to him had to follow in small steps, and Zhao Wu and Ding Liu, who were behind him, were about to follow in, but they were blocked by the doorman.

The doorman took Xu Wuxian and Song Jinhua to Bi Songyun's signing room, and then bowed and withdrew......

I saw that although Bi Songyun was nearly fifty years old, his face was quite white, and although there was no expression on his face, he could still make people feel a kind of coercion unconsciously...... At this moment, he Gu Zi was sitting upright at the table, holding a case file in his hand, and when he saw Xu and Song coming in, his eyelids didn't move......

"I heard that you are here to ask me for debts?...... Bi Songyun said lightly, his eyes still on the case in his hand......

"Xia Guan didn't dare, Xia Guan just followed Xu through it...... Come and pay a visit to Master Bi......" Song Jinhua hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said humbly. At this time, he was already frightened by the words of Master Shangshu and changed his mind. "Thirty-six plans are the best plan! If you can't do it, let's get out of the way......," he thought to himself.

"Are you ?......," Bi Songyun asked Song Jinhua.

"Song Jinhua, the lower official, is the head of the household department. Song Jinhua said.

"A mere six-grade official, trespassing into the official department's yatang, dare to say that it is just to come to see me, are you an idle and boring person in the department?!Is it something you can come to see if you want to?!" Bi Songyun's face sank, and the feeling of coercion was even worse......

"The lower officials don't dare, and the lower officials make the next ...... I also hope that Lord Shangshu will be forgiving......" Song Jinhua bent down again, busy saluting.

"Get out!" Bi Songyun snorted coldly.

Song Jinhua hurriedly pulled Xu Wuxi's hand and said hurriedly: "Brother Xu, let's go...... This matter of chasing the silver owed by the treasury should be presented to Lord Pan and Lord Qiu first, and then ......"

Xu Wuxian waved his hand and said, "Old Song, you go first......

Song Jinhua stomped his feet, "coughed", and hurriedly retreated, he said in his heart This time, I won't follow you Xu Wuxi will go crazy anyway, even if you have the backstage of Qiu Mingli, you are a three-grade official for ten years, an old fox in officialdom, and behind him is the current prince...... You are fighting with the prince, aren't you looking for death!

......

After Song Jinhua left, Xu Wuxian took out a note from his sleeve, walked slowly to Bi Songyun, and said:

"Dare to ask Lord Shangshu, this IOU was signed by you?"

Bi Songyun took the IOU in Wuxi's hand, couldn't help but put down the case in his hand, and looked Xu Wuxian up and down. He looked at the thin paper in his hand, returned it to Wuzhi, and said indifferently:

"Yes, that's exactly what the headquarters signed......"

"Since it is an IOU signed by Lord Bi himself, then please return the 800,000 taels of silver owed to the treasury immediately according to what is written on the IOU!" Xu Wuzhi said.

"Are you...... Who is it?" Bi Songyun raised his head, a pair of eyes narrowed slightly, staring directly at Xu Wuxian, that sharp gaze seemed to be about to pierce a hole in Xu Wuxian's head......

"In Xia Xu, there is no disease, and the household department has experienced it. Xu replied without illness.

"Did Qiu Mingli send you here?......" Bi Songyun asked coldly.

If you want to ask me who I am assigned, I can only say that I was ordered by the court to recover the arrears of the treasury...... If there is a big drought today, the disaster is everywhere, and the imperial court is in urgent need of treasury silver for disaster relief, and I hope that Lord Bi can be anxious about the urgency of the imperial court, remember the difficulties of the victims, and return the arrears as soon as possible, so as to ......" Xu Wuzhi said.

"Shut up!" Bi Songyun slapped the table, Huo Ran stood up, pointed at Xu Wuxian with his finger, and said angrily: "You are a mere official from the seventh grade, and you dare to speak out in front of the headquarters about the justice of the court and the urgent task of disaster relief...... Who gave you this guts......"

"Lord Yubi...... As the old saying goes, the world is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention, the job experienced in the lower body of the household. It is the duty of the acting secretary to pursue the arrears of the treasury...... If Lord Bi is going to ask who gave me this courage, I will dare to say it...... If you have never signed a note or borrowed a single amount from the treasury, how can you dare to make a ?...... in front of Master Shangshu after your experience in the next seven grades?"

"You...... You, you ......" Bi Songyun pointed at Xu Wuxian with his finger, his old face was flushed, but he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal, so he had to say angrily:

"The headquarters knows...... This matter of arrears will be discussed and raised by the headquarters, and it will be returned......"

Xu Wuxian was about to say more, but Bi Songyun waved his hand and shouted:

"Someone...... Drop-off!"
