Chapter 171 Asking for a Loan
Jiang Youmeng opened his eyes, cautiously looked at the window where the sound had just been made, and carefully identified the subtle sound from that place now.

She straightened up slowly, holding the soft knife hidden in her sleeve tightly in her hand, holding her tense breath, listening to the sound getting closer.

Suddenly, the window slammed open, and a funny voice came: "Sister!"

Jiang Youzhi raised her hand and moved forward suddenly, but suddenly realized that it was Xiao Hei, so she quickly withdrew her hand, and said in a little surprise, "Xiao Hei?"

Xiao Hei nodded, looking very happy, while dancing, he said, "Play...play..."

Jiang Youzhi looked at the sky outside, and said helplessly, "Xiao Hei, it's very late now, it's time to go to bed, you are obedient, go back to sleep soon."

Hearing this, Xiao Hei seemed a little lost. He lowered his head first, then quickly raised his head to glance at Jiang Youzhi, and then refused to speak.

Looking at her appearance at this moment, Jiang Youzhi was a little puzzled, and asked, "Xiao Hei, do you have something to tell me?"

Xiao Hei still didn't speak, but it was not the same as usual, Jiang Youzhi was a little worried and suspicious, so he said, "Then you can come in through the door, sister, go and open the door now."

Hearing this, Xiao Hei danced happily, clapped his hands, and babbled some unknown tune while walking towards the gate.

When Jiang Youzhi opened the door, Xiao Hei jumped in. Jiang Youzhi poured him a glass of water, and then said, "Xiao Hei, what's wrong with you? What are you going to tell me?"

Xiao Hei suddenly took Jiang Youzhi's hand, his voice was still a bit vague: "Play... play... sister play with Xiao Hei..."

Jiang Youzhi shook her head helplessly, she actually believed that Xiao Hei would tell her something just now.

Thinking of this, she was about to speak, thinking of coaxing Xiao Hei back to sleep, but Xiao Hei suddenly said: "Sister, I have... I have something... for you!"

Jiang Youzhi frowned slightly suspiciously, very puzzled.

Then, I saw Xiao Hei, who took a long time out of his skirt, and finally took out something similar to a waist card.

After he took it out, he happily stuffed the waist card to Jiang Youzhi, and said happily, "Send...send..."

Jiang Youzhi smiled slightly, and said, "How can my sister get your things?" After saying that, she was going to return the waist card to Xiao Hei.

But when Xiao Hei saw this, he said anxiously: "Sister...don't like me anymore..."

Then he began to cry sadly. Seeing this, Jiang Youzhi could only helplessly say: "Okay, sister will accept it, but Xiao Hei must go to sleep obediently now, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Xiao Hei immediately stood up and nodded vigorously: "Okay...Okay!"

Finally coaxed Xiao Hei to sleep, Jiang Youzhi was alone in the room, before going to sleep, she suddenly saw the waist card that Xiao Hei had just given her, and picked it up curiously to have a look.

This waist card is made of wood, and there is no word engraved on it, as if it is unfinished.

The disc-shaped white jade that fell below looked very delicate, but Jiang Youzhi didn't pay attention to it, just put away the waist badge and went to rest.

Early in the morning of the second day, before leaving for Mount Helian, Housekeeper Zhang from the Luo Mansion hurried over.

As soon as he entered the door, his eyebrows seemed to be on fire, and he said with a worried face: "My lords, go and have a look quickly! Something serious has happened!"

Ah Chang asked, "What's wrong?"

Butler Zhang immediately said: "A large group of debt collectors gathered at the door, the door of this house is about to be taken down by them!"

Hearing this, Ah Chang said to Pei Xun, "Young Master, what do you think?"

Pei Xun and I glanced at the anxious housekeeper, and then said: "It's nothing, let's check the situation first."

Ah Chang was worried that he missed the departure time, but the son said so, so he followed.

When they all arrived at the gate of Luo Mansion, they heard the noise coming from outside, and there were also various shouts and insults.

Luo Wanyu paced here anxiously, saw Jiang Youzhi and the others, and walked over from a distance, her tone was very anxious: "Master Pei, Miss Jiang, what should I do?"

The gate of Luo Mansion seemed to be bumped by something powerful, which caused a huge noise. It seemed that these were indeed intended to dismantle the gate of Luo Mansion.

Jiang Youzhi asked: "Miss Luo, do you know these debts owed by Master Luo?"

Luo Wanyu seemed to think for a while, then shook her head and said, "I've never heard my uncle say that."

Jiang Youzhi then turned his head to Steward Zhang, and Steward Zhang also said, "Master doesn't owe any foreign debts, he never mentioned this matter at all."

Hearing this, Jiang Youzhi frowned. Since this is the case, and the Luo family's shop has been operating stably, how could Luo Huanan owe so much foreign debt?

Seeing that the commotion outside the door was getting more and more intense, Pei Xun said, "Open the door."

Ah Chang said: "My lord, then..."

Pei Xun seemed to be thinking on his own: "No hurry, just take it easy."

Ah Chang nodded, and then sent someone to open the door. After the door opened, the debtors were excited and ready to rush in.

"Pay back! Pay back!"

But the few people in the lead are Helian's respectable figures, so they naturally knew Pei Xun, so they quickly knelt down: "Cao Min kowtows to the imperial envoy."

Seeing this, everyone quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Pei Xun stepped forward slowly, and said, "Get up, all of you, what is the purpose of you coming here today?"

At this time, in the crowd, everyone was whispering, but no one dared to speak directly.

When Pei Xun saw the leader wearing a silk robe, he said to him, "Go up and talk back."

The man immediately stepped forward, knelt down to salute Pei Xun, and then said: "Caomin Liu Tongyou, Luo Huanan once owed Caomin 100 taels of silver, today Caomin heard that Luo Huanan ran away, so he hurried Come to collect debts, Imperial Envoy, you must make the decision for Xiaomin!"

Then he paused again, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out something from his jacket, and presented it with respectful hands: "My lord, this is an IOU drawn by Luo Huanan himself to the grassroots, please Take a look."

Ah Chang presented the IOU, and after Pei Xun read it, he said, "I will send someone to record it now. As long as there is an IOU, I will show it and write down the amount."

After a pause, he said again: "I will investigate this matter. If it is true, I will definitely give you justice. Go back first."
