Chapter 99 Wang Qiang

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing. This Wang Qiang is not a man by his appearance. Don't look at his simple appearance. He was beaten to death by Pan Qin's men, but he didn't give in in his heart. He dared to fuck Pan Qin in front of him. "Eye medicine", isn't he afraid that Pan Qin will retaliate against him afterwards?

Sure enough, those who dare to go to Jiaozhou in this era are not law-abiding people, and Wang Qiang is a gambler, so he is even more courageous.

Liu Jing saw that although he was in a state of distress, his injuries were not serious, so he took out a silk scarf from his arms and handed it to him, saying, "Wipe off the blood."

"Thank you Liu Jun." Wang Qiang said his thanks, while "tremblingly" took the silk scarf and wiped the blood on his face. The whole process was very natural, without any flinching.

Liu Jing couldn't help being surprised.

Pan Qin stood at the other end, looking a little uneasy. Up to now, Liu Jing has never spoken to him, and has always left him alone. This is definitely not a gesture of goodwill.

Liu Jing finally turned his gaze back to Pan Qin, and asked, "How much did Wang Qiang borrow from you?"

Pan Qin replied respectfully: "It's [-] yuan in total."

Liu Jing nodded slightly, and asked again: "How much do I need to pay back?"

Pan Qin replied, "A total of 20 yuan including principal and interest."

Liu Jing frowned unconsciously. Wang Mang once stipulated: "Those who borrow money from the people to manage the property, the interest should not exceed the tenth of the year."

But this is only an "idealized" interest rate. Generally speaking, the annual interest rate of private usury loans starts with "one interest per loan", that is, if you borrow [-] yuan, you will repay [-] yuan with interest that year, and the annual interest rate is as high as [-]%.However, "one profit per share" is just the beginning. Back then, the Wuyan family borrowed the daughter of Emperor Jingdi of the Han Dynasty, and won "ten profits per share", with an interest of up to [-]%.

Wang Qiang borrowed money not for serious business such as funerals and business management, but for gambling. The interest rate must be ridiculously high. No, it has quadrupled in just a few months.

Liu Jing turned his head and asked Wang Qiang, "How much can you pay back?"

Wang Qiang said truthfully: "Don't dare to hide it from Mr. Liu. There are three big and small boats in the villain's house, one shop, and one mansion. Even if they sell all of them, it will not be enough to pay back."

Liu Jing first became very interested in Wang Qiang's three ships, and then asked about the situation in Jiaozhou.Wang Qiang is not a "second-generation ancestor". After his father died, he supported the family property alone, and went to Jiaozhou several times in person, so when he faced Liu Jing's inquiries, he answered them fluently.

Liu Jing couldn't help but nodded, and became more and more satisfied with Wang Qiang. He made up his mind and said, "I can pay off the loan for you, but it's not free. You need to work for me until the principal is paid off."

Wang Qiang was immediately overjoyed, but for some reason, Liu Jing wanted to recruit him, and for this reason he did not hesitate to pay off his huge debt. This was a joy from heaven.

"Liu Jun's kindness..." Wang Qiang just opened his mouth to thank, but was interrupted by Liu Jing: "Don't thank me in a hurry, I have one more request for you - quit gambling. You must never touch gambling again in the future."

"No." Wang Qiang said solemnly.He was nearly bankrupt due to gambling, and was beaten again. Without Liu Jing's intervention, his end is not difficult to imagine. How can he not reflect deeply?

Liu Jing stared at Wang Qiang sharply, and said with a smile, "I hope you didn't lie to me."

"Don't, don't dare..."

Liu Jing was clearly smiling, but Wang Qiang felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.

Liu Jing asked, "Do you have words?"

Wang Qiang nodded, and replied: "My father chose the character Zijian for the villain."

Liu Jing couldn't help sighing: "The strong are healthy, and the "Yi" says: 'Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement.' Good name, I hope you will not disappoint Lingfu's painstaking efforts in the future."

Wang Qiang was surprised and remained silent for a long time.

Liu Jing said to Pan Qin again: "Have you heard it? I will pay Zijian's debt."

"This..." Pan Qin hesitated.Liu Jing said that's what he said, but would he dare to ask for money? 20 yuan is not a small sum, so you can't just give up because of Liu Jing, right?

Liu Jing gradually put away his smile and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Pan Qin gritted his teeth, repaying the debts was a matter of course, he was on his side, and he had Zhang Yi as his backer, why should he be afraid of him?Said: "There is nothing wrong with it, just follow Liu Jun's will."

"What an idiot who wants money but not life!" Liu Jing cursed in his heart, and then said calmly: "The debt is over, let's talk about the beating."

"...!" Pan Qin was dumbfounded, this Liu Jing really turned his face faster than turning the book!

The six blue-turban thugs who were kneeling on the ground waiting to be punished were even more frightened out of their wits.

The city building, the pavilion department, and the city prison arrived almost at the same time. At this time, it was less than half a quarter of an hour before the incident happened. The "police dispatch" can be described as fast, which is also the result of Liu Jing's vigorous rectification.

"Liu Jun..." The officials of the city building are led by seriousness, Xie Liang will never be seen in this kind of thing, and a dynasty will be added.

Liu Jing pointed to Pan Qin and the six blue-turban thugs and ordered: "This man ordered six people to beat others and put them all in the city prison."

Pan Qin's hands were immediately held tightly by the city officials. He didn't expect Liu Jing to show no mercy. In desperation, he couldn't help shouting: "Liu Jun, I am, I am..."

Liu Jing glanced at him lightly, and said, "But what? Under the watchful eyes of everyone, please don't talk nonsense."

Pan Qin couldn't help feeling depressed and gave up struggling.Liu Jing is right, this is not something glorious, if he dares to report Zhang Yi's name in public, he will definitely not end well.

Before being escorted away, Pan Qin felt unwilling and glared at Wang Qiang fiercely.Wang Qiang just missed it with his head down, and no one saw it. At this moment, Wang Qiang's dark face was full of viciousness.

When Wang Qiang raised his head again, still with that simple look, he thanked Liu Jing: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for upholding justice for the villain."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'll take care of this matter, and Zijian can go home to heal his wounds with peace of mind." Then he told Liu Zhu, "Wenxiu, send Zijian home." In the end, Liu Jing still didn't quite trust Wang Qiang. , so let Liu Zhu send him home to grasp the reality.

Seemingly seeing Liu Jing's worry, Wang Qiang came to Shilou the next day with his head wound wrapped up regardless of the injury.Liu Jing chatted with him all day, and it was the same for the next few days.

Although Zhang Yi did not show up in the past few days, there was an endless stream of people pleading for Pan Qin, and there were many hints in his words, Liu Jing ignored them all.

Pan Qin was imprisoned for several days and confessed his mistake bitterly. As long as Liu Jing let him go, he would not even want the principal of [-] yuan.

How could Liu Jing take advantage of him and send 20 yuan with interest to the Pan family's mansion forcibly, but he never let him go.

In the end, Pan Qin compensated Wang Qiang's 15 decoction fee before he escaped from the prison.

From then on, when Liu Jing was in office, Pan Qin never dared to approach Xishi.
