Datang Nongwang

Chapter 470 Debt Collection

of course.

Li Chongyuan was not forced to this point either.

At least.

Such a thing will basically never happen.

But for Li Chongyuan, planning for a rainy day is the foundation of his life, and he doesn't want to give his life to outsiders to control.

Maybe you didn't realize it before.

But it has been more than a year since Li Chongyuan came to this world with him, so naturally, he fell in love with him.

otherwise.

He, Li Chongyuan, is not going to make iron thunders.

after all.

This thing is quick to learn and easy to make.

As for things like guns.

Li Chongyuan really wanted to make it, but without a strong industrial system, if he wanted to make it, it would be tantamount to reaching the sky.

of course.

If it's firecrackers, it's not difficult to get there.

But the materials for the firecracker had to be made, which was beyond Li Chongyuan's ability.

If it was made with [-]-smelting steel, Li Chongyuan was afraid that his chest would explode after firing a few shots.

Or rather.

Even if it is made, it is very bulky.

Furthermore.

Li Chongyuan couldn't get it out of the gun.

and.

Li Chongyuan once specifically asked one of Lao Xu's sons for questioning, but what he got was a helpless look.

But Li Chongyuan's obsession with firecrackers is absolutely impossible to give up.

After all, that thing is a life-saving guy.

And it's also very easy to hide.

If you encounter any unexpected troubles, you can also guarantee your safety for a while.

You can't keep a few iron thunders on your body all the time.

The home of Chang'an City.

Wan'er, who has been grounded, is being taught by the old master.

And the one who accompanied her was of course a bastard like Charen.

Just as the old master was giving a lecture, a figure suddenly appeared outside the door of the room, poking his head inwards.

The old master looked towards the door and coughed lightly, "Mr. Li, are you also here to listen to the old man's lecture?"

"No, no, I'm just here to take a look, come and take a look." The head at the door quickly stood up and waved his hands repeatedly.

Wan'er in the hall turned her head after hearing the sound, and said happily, "Cousin Chongzhen, why are you here? Are you here to find me?"

"Hey, cousin Wan'er, I'm not here to look for you, I'm here to look for my cousin." Li Chongzhen smiled awkwardly.

Wan'er pouted, and turned from happy to unhappy, "Cousin Chongzhen, you haven't come to play with me for a long time, why don't you help me beg my mother, I don't want to be here anymore .I want to go back to Lizhuang, I don’t want to study anymore.”

"Cough cough." Hearing Wan'er's words, the old master coughed heavily.

Wan'er's words, it's not obvious that she is not disciplined by herself.

but.

But the old master knows.

The County Lord Li in front of me is really difficult to serve.

If it weren't for the fact that the old lady invited me to teach the people in the Li family's mansion to read and write, and he was also favored by the old lady.

otherwise.

For a person with Wan'er's temper, no matter how much money is spent on books, he will not be able to invite him to teach, and he will not even be able to teach.

Li Chongzhen outside the hall shuddered after seeing the old master cough heavily, and shook his head again and again, "Wan'er, you should ask your aunt for this, I dare not. I won't bother you, I'll gone."

As soon as the words are finished.

Li Chongzhen has already flashed.

Wan'er was so angry that she clapped the book in her hand bitterly.

Li Chongzhen dodged all the way, moving towards the door of his family's house, looking at him, he seemed to be hiding from someone.

But just as he was evasive.

The butler suddenly came out of nowhere, "Mr. Chongzhen, why are you so sneaky!"

"Uh, so it's the housekeeper. I'm not sneaking around. I'm here to look for cousin Chongyuan." Li Chongzhen was caught by the housekeeper, feeling desolate.

Li Chongzhen was timid.

And he has several people who are afraid.

One, of course, was his father.

The second is the master in the Chongwen Museum.

Three, of course the old lady.

And the fourth place is none other than the butler in front of him.

once.

He, Li Chongzhen, was in the hands of the housekeeper, so he had suffered a lot.

After eating the board, he was fined to be grounded in his family, and he suffered from the buttock injury for several months. This is one of the reasons why Li Chongzhen was afraid.

The housekeeper stared at Li Chongzhen, trying to read something from his face, "Young Lord is not at the house, he has gone back to Lizhuang. If you want to find Xiaolangjun, you have to go to Lizhuang. However, I saw Chongzhen just now. Mr. Zhenlang, you are evasive, you are not afraid that the old lady will know that you are coming, right?"

"No no, my aunt is so kind to me, I'm not afraid that my aunt will know that I'm here. I'm just thinking about going to say hello to my aunt." When Li Chongzhen heard this, his face was sad.

originally.

Li Chongzhen came to the family, and since he entered the house, he has been evasive.

His original intention was to avoid the old lady.

He is afraid.

As for what he is afraid of, only he himself knows.

And now.

Being caught straight by the housekeeper, I have to invite him whether I am safe or not.

After meeting the old lady, the old lady looked at Li Chongzhen strangely, "Zhen'er, are you taking a rest today? Did you come to see Yuan'er for something?"

"Auntie, I didn't take a rest today. I asked my master for leave, so I was allowed to leave. But, Auntie, I heard something, so I came here specially to ask my cousin." Li Chongzhen didn't dare to be there. Tell lies in front of the old lady.

Moreover.

There was also the housekeeper who was nervous and frightened when he saw it.

As long as he tells a lie, no matter the old lady can tell it at a glance, the housekeeper's eyes are also staring at him abruptly, making him uncomfortable.

The old lady looked at Li Chongzhen with a curious smile, "Zhen'er, what have you heard? Why don't you tell your aunt."

"It's my aunt. I heard in the Chongwen Museum that my cousin sold two fish and earned [-] guan, so I came here out of curiosity and asked what kind of fish can be worth so much money." Li Chongzhen replied with a roll of his eyes.

When the old lady heard it, she thought what was the matter.

The goldfish thing.

It has been two or three days.

In two or three days, it is estimated that the entire Chang'an City has almost spread the word.

And Li Chongzhen came here at this time out of curiosity, and the old lady didn't think it was strange.

After talking for a while, the old lady let Li Chongzhen go.

After Li Chongzhen left.

But the housekeeper approached the old lady and said in a low voice: "Old lady, Mr. Chongzhen didn't seem to have said the whole thing, his eyes rolled around, and one could tell from his expression that he didn't want to say this in his heart."

"Forget it, he has his own ideas, and it's definitely not a big deal for him to find Yuan'er, so let him go." After hearing this, the old lady shook her head lightly.

Li Chongzhen can be regarded as a headache for the old lady.

It's similar to Wan'er.

Although Li Chongzhen is not her son.

But in the moment, it is equivalent to her son.

Li Chongzhen's mother died young, Li Chongzhen's brothers, the old lady has always treated them like sons.

Moreover.

Li Chongzhen used to come to our house often.

even.

My family also reserved a room for this guy, allowing him to come back and live for a period of time from time to time. In other words, my family became his residence to avoid being beaten by his father.

Li Chongyuan was not found in the family.

Without further ado, Li Chongzhen got into the carriage, called two followers, and left Chang'an City.

And this time.

The gate of a house in a certain Lifang in the southern city of Chang'an.

But two monks were ushered in.

The two monks, one thin and one strong, belonged to two extremes.

The thin one looked very lacklustre, as if his energy and energy had been sucked dry by a woman, and even his face looked a little pale.

At first glance, I thought it was a dying person.

As for the strong monk.

The five big and three thick ones, with their flesh flying all over the place, at a glance, obviously have an angry murderous look, giving people an unfriendly posture.

and.

At first glance, this strong monk is obviously not from the Tang Dynasty, but looks like a Kunlun slave.

but.

This strong monk is not as dark as the Kunlun slave, but just looks black.

As soon as the two monks came to the gate of the house, the thin monk looked at the strong monk and confessed, "Jingtang, once you meet someone, you should stop talking, so as not to cause trouble."

"Why. The host asked us to come here to ask for the debt. I was originally asked to come here to cheer up. If the Wang Ting doesn't pay back the money, the host has already said that he should either be brought back to the temple and let the host pay for it, or the Wang Ting will be tied up. That's it." The strong monk who respected Tang said with a displeased face.

The skinny monk looked at Jing Tang and shook his head, "You don't understand, this court is not an ordinary person, even if the host said that, it was just to scare the court. What the host said , you have to listen to half of it and keep the other half, so don’t mess it up.”

The Tang respecting monk touched his bare head with a puzzled look on his face.

The skinny monk smiled and knocked on the courtyard door without saying a word.

It didn't take long.

The monks, one thin and one strong, went into the courtyard.

Inside the hall of the house.

Wang Ting looked nervously at the two monks in front of him, feeling desolate in his heart, but he looked down at the two monks with a condescending attitude, "I don't know why the two masters came to Xun Ting before? This place is not comparable to Zhenyuan Temple, tea and cakes are available, two masters, please."

Wang Ting knew it well.

As soon as the two monks came, he knew why they had come.

Wang Ting put on such a gesture to tell the two monks that I am rich and I am still from the Wang family. Even if you come to ask for a bill, you have to look at the Wang family.

When the skinny monk heard Wang Ting's words, he naturally understood what Wang Ting said.

As for the strong monk named Jing Tang, he seemed a little eager.

But we just met, and we haven't started talking yet, so it's hard for him to speak directly.

Moreover.

Before entering the door, the skinny monk had already confessed that everything would be done by him, and he was only a spectator.

No matter how eager he was, he didn't want to talk too much at this time, so he picked up the pastry on the table and ate it.

Although the thin monk knew the meaning of Wang Ting's words, he felt unhappy when he heard it, but he nodded lightly, and said bluntly: "Your lord knows the original intention of our visit if you want to come, so we won't say much. Others. It’s time to repay the debt that Lang Jun owes me to Zhenyuan Temple. Thinking about it, Lang Jun should have already prepared it, how about we hand over the procedures?”

When Wang Ting heard what the skinny monk said, he felt very anxious.

"Master Xin Yan, I know that the two masters came to seek the court today, but it is really inconvenient for Ting at the moment, how about not forgiving Ting for a few days?" Wang Ting hurriedly wanted to delay for himself.

Although today is the time to repay the debt.

But Wang Ting knew exactly how much money he had.

Property is mortgaged.

He only raised [-] yuan in cash.

The debt of 15 yuan, at this moment, he really can't afford it.

Wang Ting thought in his heart that no matter what happened to Zhenyuan Temple, it was impossible for him to do anything to him. After all, he was from the Wang family.

but.

As soon as Wang Ting's words came out, the monk named Jing Tang immediately slammed his teacup heavily, and said angrily: "No money!!! No money, what kind of money did you borrow at that time? Let's go back to Zhenyuan Temple and let the abbot tell me."

"Respect Tang, you must be courteous! Don't blame me, sir, Jing Tang's temperament is true, please don't blame me. You belong to the Wang family, and the mere 15 yuan is just a drop in the bucket for the Wang family. Come to think of it, sir He must be joking with us, right?" Seeing Jing Tang staring at Wang Ting angrily, the skinny monk named Xin Yan quickly made peace.

And the royal court at this time.

It can be said to be frightened.

He knew it well, and he was even more aware of Zhenyuan Temple's methods.

as far as he knows.

If someone borrowed a loan from Zhenyuan Temple.

If you don't pay back the money, not only will your reputation be ruined, but you will even be tied up and returned to Zhenyuan Temple, where you will be severely beaten.

If you are just an ordinary person, after a beating, you will bring people to your house to move your belongings.

If it is not enough, then use people to pay off the debt.Women, children, and even men are also acceptable, as long as they pay enough debts.

What is even worse, even this person's relatives may be implicated to the point of impunity.

No one cares about the future of the borrower, even if you sue the government, no one will care about you.

This is just the way Zhenyuan Temple borrows and collects debts for ordinary people.

If you are a person with a little status.

If you really can't afford to pay back the money, the practice of Zhenyuan Temple is also absolute.

They stripped them naked, tied them up outside the Zhenyuan Temple for three to five days, and then dragged them around in Chang'an City's various lifangs for a few days.

Let your reputation be swept away in Chang'an City from now on.

Such as a slightly higher status.

Although Zhenyuan Temple would be afraid, it was never afraid.

They would be even more delighted if they met some honorable officials.

Because these people are the ones who care about face the most.

As long as you send someone out and sit at the gate of the mansion, those officials and nobles will honestly offer the money, after all, they are afraid of losing face.

Officials are afraid of losing face, afraid that they will be difficult to mix in the officialdom from now on.

Xungui was afraid of losing face, afraid that he would not be able to stay in this circle, and would be ridiculed or pointed at by others every day.

If it happened, it would not be so good.

Do so.

The government has nothing to do with this Zhenyuan Temple.

right now.

Repaying debts is a matter of course.

Moreover.

This provision has also been stipulated in the law, no matter how many reasons you have, you cannot escape this provision.

and so.

This is also the point where Wang Ting is terrified of Zhenyuan Temple.

Wang Ting was nervous.

Wang Ji, who was waiting on the sidelines, became even more nervous.

but.

While Wang Ting was nervous, he was always thinking about where to get a hundred thousand coins so that he could get through this disaster.

Wang Zhong?

Forget it.

At this time, Wang Ting wished to tie Wang Zhong directly and throw him into the river.

Stirring the matter to Jinyang, it is even more troublesome that the whole government and the people know that his royal court owes the debt to Zhenyuan Temple, and even more knows that his royal court has mortgaged all his properties in Chang'an City. Zhenyuan Temple.

reputation.

The royal court is long gone in Chang'an City.

For a long time.

Wang Ting could only think of Li Chongyuan.

But in his heart, he was worried that Li Chongyuan, who turned hostility into friendship, would not be willing to lend a helping hand.

In Chang'an City, there is no one to turn to for help, and they have asked for everything they can, and right now, there is only Li Chongyuan.

The debtor has arrived, and Wang Ting can only fight, "Master Xin Yan, Master Jing Tang. Since you two are here to ask for debts, my Wang Ting will definitely not default on the debt, but At present, the court is indeed in a hurry, so I invite the two masters to report back to Feng to preside over the court, and give the court three days, and after three days, Ting Ding will return the money, what do you think, the two masters?"
