C101 (1/2)
Basically all the passersby, those who had nothing better to do and those who had nothing better to do, those who wanted to watch the show, ran over to watch the show and pointed at the little beggar.
”Wow, this little beggar dares to come to the crown prince's mansion to collect debts, his courage deserves praise!”
”I think he has been forced to a certain extent. Look at the words on the wall, the crown prince might have done something utterly heartless!”
”Shh, lower your voice. Although I agree with your view …”
”…”
There were many people loitering around. There were even some officials from the imperial court who were taking advantage of the break to take a walk with their families. When they saw that something was happening in the crown prince's residence, in order to make sure of the imperial government's next move, they all came over to watch as well.
However, the Crown Prince owed him money? Or was it a little beggar's silver? Is there a mistake?
However, looking at how the little beggar acted, as if he was a broken pot that was falling to pieces, it must be true that he could cause such a ruckus …
The little beggar saw that there were more and more people, and his voice grew louder and louder. ”If you have the ability to owe money, then open the door!”
With a squeak, the door to the crown prince's mansion opened.
The little beggar saw that the person who came out from the door was not a master, but rather a bunch of people dressed as guards. Among them was a middle-aged man who was dressed a little better.
The little beggar continued to shout as he used all his strength to beat the gong. ”If you're capable, open the door. If you're capable, return the money!”
The steward of the crown prince's residence smirked at the young beggar, while the guards surrounded him.
”Tell me, who told you to do this?”
The little beggar was not the least bit nervous as his gong jingled loudly. ”Aiyaya, you're incredible. The crown prince's residence can't afford to pay you back the money to silence you in the street!”
Everyone, ”...”
The housekeeper and the guards were both furious. They had not made a move yet, but this little beggar was so good at spouting nonsense!
The little beggar felt that he wasn't making enough of a ruckus, so he rolled around on the ground to make a splash. The butler was anxious and pointed at the little beggar and ordered, ”Quick, stop his mouth!”
The guards started to move, but the little beggar was as slippery as a loach.
Seeing that the entrance to the crown prince's mansion was getting more and more chaotic, Xiao Yi couldn't help but walk out. ”Stop this, all of you!”
The butler and the guard immediately retreated. The little beggar rolled his eyes. He knew that he had achieved his goal, so he shouted towards the direction of Lu JinNian, ”Miss, the one who owes you a debt is out!”
Everyone suddenly understood. Oh, so the creditor had a different person. No matter what, the words on the crown prince's mansion were not written by the little beggar alone.
Lu JinNian spread out the crowd and walked out with a smile on his face. He cupped his hands towards Xiao Yi and said, ”My daughter is Lu JinNian. Greetings to the crown prince. Has he decided to return the money yet?”
Xiao Yi's eyes widened. ”So it's Miss Lu. I can't remember when I owed Miss Lu money, but did Miss Lu remember wrongly?”
”How can Your Highness go back on his word?” Lu JinNian's beautiful fox eyes blinked lightly, ”That day at the Deep Street, His Highness the Crown Prince sent some people to make a solemn pledge in front of his daughter that one broken bone would be exchanged for ten taels of silver.”
”This official's daughter is not talented. She only brought out thirteen pieces of bone, for a total of one hundred and thirty silvers. We agreed that we would deliver them yesterday, and the goods would both be sold.” This official was not talented, and only brought out thirteen pieces of bones, for a total of one hundred and thirty silvers.
Xiao Yi's face was livid. He hadn't thought that Lu JinNian would be able to track him down.
If Lu JinNian had let it out that day, he would tell him about the people who had pretended to be thugs. He didn't take Lu JinNian's threat to heart, and at most, he would look for the second disciple of Tiger Roar Martial Arts School and keep an eye on him.
