Chapter 77 (1/2)
It's a matter of course to pay off the debt. If you owe it, you should pay it back. Chu Fei didn't intend to cancel Zhu Hanshan's account. Of course, he didn't intend to help Zhu Hanshan repay the account.
This man was mean, mean and indifferent in his previous life. With his understanding of Zhu Hanshan, if he helped Zhu Hanshan to pay the bill, he would not only not get Zhu Hanshan's gratitude, but also might be regarded as meddling in affairs and struggling to get rid of it.
Chu Fei was surprised that Ning Lang and Zhu Hanshan became good friends, but he didn't want to be in charge of Zhu Hanshan's other affairs except for the silver subsidy. If Ning Lang hadn't let Ning Lang's advice and had been in charge of Zhu's family's business, he would not have followed him here.
But now that he has come, and Ning Nuan is watching, chufei intends to solve this matter thoroughly.
He said, ”it can't be counted. If Zhu Hanshan owes you money, I'm not a rogue. He will naturally let him pay you back the money he owes you. But I want to ask how much money he owes you?”
The strong men looked at each other, and one of them said cautiously: ”when the son of Zhu's family was seriously ill, he asked us to borrow fifty Liang silver, with interest of eight cents a month, and he would pay us back four Liang silver a month.”
”How much did you pay back?”
”This...” The strong men looked at each other again and spoke in a more cautious tone: ”now he still owes us one hundred Liang.”
Chu Fei picks eyebrow: ”how to arrive again 100 liang?”
”I wish my family is poor, and I can't even pay the interest of four Liang silver a month. This interest is rolling interest. It's just...” The strong man flattered him with a smile and said, ”Lord, this is because the Zhu family owes us money. It's natural for us to repay the debt. It's normal for us to come to Zhu's house to collect debts, isn't it? The Zhu family didn't pay back the money they owed us, and the interest of this month didn't come. We can't wait, so we went to the Zhu family to ask for it. ”
When the strong man finished speaking, the villagers nearby could not help but said: ”the house and field of Zhu's family have been taken away by you. Hanshan will pay you money every month. This time, it's only one day late. You make such a scene and even the lady Zhu is scared by you.”
”He owes us money and we come to collect the debt. Is there anything wrong? I've heard that I wish Hanshan a subsidy from Lord an ”Speaking of this, the strong man gave chufei a flattering smile and said,” the Lord Renshan gave the boy of Zhu family a subsidy of silver. I heard that there was a bonus in the Academy. On weekdays, I wish Hanshan can pay the interest, but at this time it is in arrears. Wang Ye, you say this is not right, isn't it? ”
”And you have taken away people's houses and fields?”
”More than that.” Some people in the villagers called out: ”the Zhu family also raised a pig, a few chickens, they all carried away.”
As soon as the strong man was in a hurry, he glared at them, then looked at chufei, and then showed his flattery: ”if Hanshan doesn't pay, he will take something as collateral. He owes us both pigs and chickens.”
”Ben Wang just listened. How can he say that he can repay the interest every month?” Chu Fei frowned: ”is this king wrong?”
”If you can, you can pay it back. I just wish Hanshan his father didn't pay back the fifty Liang that his father had previously owed. Zhu Hanshan didn't pay back the money at the beginning. Those pigs and chickens, as well as houses and fields, were all those fifty Liang and interest!”
Chu Fei's brow frowned deeper: ”the house and the field alone add up, it's more than fifty Liang silver. I'm surprised that you said I wish Hanshan could pay back the interest. What can be mortgaged has been taken away by you, and the interest has also been paid back. How can we get a hundred taels of interest?”
The strong man choked for a moment, and suddenly realized something. Several of his companions were also in a cold sweat.
”What about profits? I listen to you, and you have also received compound interest? ” Chu Fei sneered, and his folding fan snapped shut: ”the government has issued a ban. All private loans can't calculate compound interest. You're so blatant that you've cheated the king?”
Several debt collectors suddenly wet back, foot a soft, almost kneeling in front of Chu Fei.
The other villagers' faces were a bit at a loss. They didn't understand how the evil debt collectors suddenly changed their faces.
Even not far away to listen to grandma Zhu, the expression is also a little dull.
She grabbed Ning Nuan's hand and suddenly tightened her eyes. After staring at several strong men in the field for a long time, she said, ”Miss Ning, did I hear you wrong...”
”I wish you heard me right, old lady.” Not waiting for Ning warm to open his mouth, the servant girl said straightforwardly: ”Lord an said, the government is not allowed to recover the profits.”
Grandma Zhu's expression was blank for a moment. She opened her mouth and could not speak for a moment. After a long time, she reluctantly laughed, but her expression was worse than crying.
The debt left by his son's serious illness has held down the Zhu family for several years. Originally, the Zhu family was still in good condition in Zhujia village. Now, the houses and fields are gone. Even the thatched houses are all looked at by the villagers. They can live well. The fields planted in zhuhanshan are rented by others. Not only that, but also make them worry day by day, sighing for the huge debts on their bodies.If it wasn't for grandma Zhu's insistence that Zhu Hanshan should go to school, and Zhu Hanshan would strive to keep up her spirits, she would have made a lot of money and filled in the hole of interest. Otherwise, I'm afraid the family of Zhu would have collapsed.
Only then did another carriage come in a hurry. There was a sign of Ning's family on the carriage. Before the carriage was stable, a man jumped down from it in a hurry, wearing a uniform blue long shirt of Castle Peak Academy. It was Zhu Hanshan.
In the carriage in the distance, Miss Xue opened her eyes and looked at the man who suddenly appeared. She whispered to her servant girl, ”is this the zhuhanshan mountain?”
The servant girl said, ”yes, miss, it's him.”
Suddenly, Miss Xue went on to see the situation.
Zhu Hanshan pushed aside the crowd and hurried into his yard. Seeing Chu Fei here, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at some familiar debt collectors. He hesitated for a moment and asked, ”where is my grandmother?”
Grandma Zhu seemed to have just reacted and said in a hurry: ”Hanshan, grandma is here!”
Zhu Hanshan turned his head, when he saw his grandmother, he immediately took a long sigh of relief, and then saw the warm Ning beside her. His eyes immediately took gratitude.
Ning Nuan holds grandma Zhu and walks over. She looks at chufei, and chufei immediately gives her a smile that is not easy to notice. It's better to open your eyes warm, but there's a little smile in the bottom of your eyes.
Grandma Zhu took Zhu Hanshan and quickly repeated what he had just heard: ”Hanshan, just now his highness king an said that he couldn't recover profits. He said that he couldn't recover profits. Hanshan!”
Chufei added: ”if you receive it, according to the law, you will have to return all that you have received.”
Grandma Zhu was even more excited: ”I will return it! It will come back, Hanshan
Zhu Hanshan was stunned to answer, but his face was not too excited.
He is well versed in poetry and books. He is the most learned scholar in the Academy. How can he not realize that the government has stipulated that profits can not be recovered? However, he is just a civilian in the suburbs of Beijing. He has no power behind him. Even though he has read many books, he still hasn't got any fame. He wanted to go to the government, but his father didn't borrow money from ordinary people. He had seen these debt collectors drinking with the captains of the government. These people are backed up by some people. They are used to bullying and ordinary people can't move them.
I wish grandma's health is not good, I wish Hanshan dare not do more, can only copy more books every month, at least also on the interest money, those people will not be too much. This month, because of some delay in the Academy, he delayed for a day. Unexpectedly, these debt collectors went straight to his house.
I heard that something happened to grandma Zhu. He almost didn't stand firm, so he went with him in the carriage of Ning mansion.
To his surprise, not only Ning Lang's sister is here, but also an Wang is here.
Chu Fei pointed to him and said, ”he still owes the king's subsidy. If something goes wrong, will you still have to rely on the subsidy that he owes to the king?”
Several people repeatedly begged for mercy: ”Lord, forgive me.”
”Wang Quan.” Chu Fei ordered a few people: ”take them all to the government. The government will decide on the debts and compound interests. I don't want to worry about these bad things. When you take people, you must remember to see with your own eyes, and I want to know the result of this matter. ”
Wang Quan responded and went out with a few thugs brought by an Wang. He invited Zhu Hanshan and those debt collectors to go to the government together.
Zhu Hanshan came and left in a hurry. He went into the house and looked for the original receipt. When he went out, he looked at his grandmother and hesitated.
Rather warm voice way: ”I wish childe rest assured, I was entrusted by brother, will take good care of old lady Zhu.”
Zhu Hanshan looked at her gratefully and made a bow to her. Then he followed Wang Quan.
As soon as those people left, the surrounding villagers were scattered, and the courtyard, which had just been lively, was empty in the blink of an eye.
Xiangtao with people will be the debt collector fell things to help up, rather warm also hold Zhu old lady to sit in the room is still intact chair.
Grandma Zhu grabs her and worries: ”Miss Ning, Hanshan is going with them like this, will you...”
”May you rest assured, old lady.” The servant girl who took care of her said frankly: ”now we are not only young lady of our family, but also his royal highness an Wang. I wish you were taken away by his royal highness. With his highness, this matter will be solved smoothly.”
”Well...”
”Maybe even your house can be taken back.”
I wish grandma suddenly excited, regardless of the bad health, quickly stood up and bowed to Chu Fei.
The tooth acid of chufeideng.
For the first time, he was so grateful that he didn't know how to react. He hesitated for a long time, coughed, said politeness quickly, and then went out in a hurry.
When the General Zhu's grandmother was comforted, Ning Nuan thought about Miss Xue who was with her, and went out to find her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she left, she saw that an Wang was squatting in the courtyard, curiously looking at the vegetable seedlings planted in the yard which had just been trampled on in the chaos.Ning Nuan coughed, and saw that he immediately jumped up in a hurry. He took two steps to the side and opened the folding fan with a slap. It was as if the person who was curious about the vegetable seedlings was not like him, but returned to his original graceful appearance. It was only when he turned around and saw that the person coming was rather warm that he felt relieved and relaxed.
Chu Fei immediately came over and said, ”the old man in there May the old lady have a good rest
Rather warm nodded: ”the blessing of the Lord, now I wish the old lady has rested.”
Chufei coughed and said modestly, ”those people have violated the ban. Previously, Zhu's family just didn't know. This king just reminded me that it was not as fierce as you said. If he is known by others, he will certainly be like this king. ”
His tone is modest, delicious meaning is clearly not proud, like a peacock shaking its tail, straight toward Ning warm open screen, eager to let people see the dazzling place of his colorful tail.
Ning warm eyes with a smile: ”the LORD said that people like these who have violated the ban should be sent to prison.”
Chu Fei:
The peacock's tail, which had just been raised behind chufei, suddenly withered.
He felt his nose and didn't know what to say.
”If you are not in a hurry, you might as well stay here a little longer.” Ning Nuan said: ”just now, old lady Zhu said that when Mr. Zhu came back, she would like to thank the Lord in person. If he didn't dislike the poor farm food, he might as well wait until Mr. Zhu came back.”
