Chapter 36
Liu Yanchun raised his eyebrows at her. The little girl was so cruel. She spent all the money to buy books in order to not give any money to the Li family.
Chen Yuan curled her lips, bah, she wouldn't do something like hurting the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred to herself.
She is not a liberal arts student, nor is she a Taoist, so why should she buy "Laozi" as a gift?
People who are being called for debts always have many excuses. Manager Zhu is used to it, "I don't care. Anyway, you have to pay this money for your brother, otherwise I will report it to the official. Even if you work in the county government, the county magistrate is a good official who enforces the law impartially."
, I won’t bend the law for personal gain and help you. You probably don’t want to see your brother in jail!”
After finishing writing, Chen Yuan flattened his mouth and showed the small cardboard with grievance, "But, I have only been on duty for half a month, and I have received 125 yuan today. If you don't believe it, you can ask the accountant, I really don't have any money."
When receiving the monthly salary, many people were there, "Yes, her monthly salary is only 125 wen, which is 2 dou of rice. How about taking 2 dou of rice? Is it better to get a little more?"
"It's okay." Taking it back a little, and having an explanation, Manager Zhu felt it was better than going back empty-handed.
After swiping, Chen Yuan bit her lip tightly, looking like she was about to cry, "But, I gave all the rice back to Liu Yanchun."
Liu Yanchun, who had not borrowed any rice, was going crazy.
The little girl can just lie by herself, but she can force him to lie and ask him to help him lie. How can she repay this kindness in the future?
His interest is very heavy.
"When did you borrow Liu Yanchunmi?" Li Delong suddenly thought, "Okay, sure enough, you two have hooked up early!"
For a moment, Liu Yanchun's expression was as solemn as a saint, "You can't say that. My mother saw that Li Fei often didn't have enough to eat, so she would rather go hungry than save food for her brothers. And she was stubborn and didn't want to eat."
She is willing to accept the multigrain cakes my mother gave her, and she will only eat them if she says she borrowed them, and she will pay them back to us once she has the money."
The money was used to buy books, and the money has not been paid yet, so the money cannot be refunded.
Rice, I took it to pay off the debt.
People on duty in the yamen can still live in such a miserable life. Manager Zhu also encountered a ghost, but who let the little girl come to work for only half a month...
"How about you borrow some money from your colleagues and help your brother pay it back first?"
"Hurry up and borrow money. If you don't borrow money, I will go to jail. How can I read books and take the imperial examination if I am in jail? If you ruin me, let's see if my parents don't break your legs!" Li Delong was extremely scared.
Chen Yuan didn't disobey him. He nodded and turned around to find his colleagues.
The colleagues turned their heads and looked at the sky and the earth, but not at her.
Her monthly salary is just that little, and she has bought books. She will have to pay back the books in the future, so lending her money is like beating a dog with a meat bun.
Manager Zhu, "..."
Does he still dare to force people from the yamen to lend money to Li Fei?
"Li Wuzuo, your brother spent this money, and I won't trouble you. Aren't you going home to deliver books in the future? Could you please go home and tell your parents to come to Baihualou with one tael and 300 yuan?"
Redeem your brother, otherwise, I have no choice but to report him to the government, or let him go after making enough money in Baihualou."
Manager Zhu did not believe that Li Fei, who would rather suffer a loss than support his brother's education, was not afraid of such a threat.
People who want to pursue an official career value reputation most.
Being imprisoned or working in a brothel to pay off debts can bring a scholar's reputation into disrepute. Who would dare to be a guarantor and recommend such a thing to take the imperial examination?
Chen Yuan wrote on the paper with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Manager Zhu, for giving my brother a few days of grace. I will definitely take the words back."
Manager Zhu accepted his fate and prepared to take people away, "Then you'd better hurry up."
Li Delong, who was being dragged by two strong men on his shoulders, struggled, "My family has no money. It has only been two years since my family was exiled here. It has not been long since we opened up wasteland. There is no harvest at all. How can we get the money to pay for the wine? Our village has no money."
He is in exile and cannot borrow anything."
This little struggle resulted in the strong man twisting his tied arm hard, causing Li Delong to sweat profusely from the pain.
I will take the imperial examination in the future. How can I be imprisoned in a brothel? No, no, absolutely not!
While twisting, Li Delong saw Chen Yuan's fleshy face, which was much more charming and cute than half a month ago.
His eyes lit up, "Manager Zhu, use my sister to pay off the debt! Look at how much she is worth. She must be worth more than two taels of silver. Can she sell it for ten taels? Forget it, I don't want more, five taels, or maybe
More refunds and less compensation?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
They all looked at Li Delong like a fool.
Doesn’t being a dandy require any brains?
Manager Zhu was so frightened that his legs almost went weak. He stepped forward and slapped Li Delong on the face, "Your sister is now a servant of the Yamen. Where did you dare to sell her?"
Brothel? Do you want me to be beheaded? If you dare to sell it, let’s see which one dares to accept it!"
These lowly people in border areas are really making a fuss. Li Delong was disdainful in his heart, "You are not a public person. It's just a lowly job, and you are not an official with a rank. If you work in a lowly job, you have become a lowly status. You are also a lowly person in a brothel."
What's the difference between my status, not to mention that my sister is not an apprentice, but an apprentice."
I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such stupid people!
Manager Zhu, who had scolded Li Delong's eight generations of ancestors in his heart, felt the atmosphere around him plummet. He swallowed and did not dare to raise his head.
The government servants, jailers, and clerks who originally came to see Li Fei's excitement didn't even have half a smile on their faces. They all looked at him with their eyes as if they were looking at a dead person.
Sensing that the incident was getting serious, the Baihualou thugs were so frightened that they could not hold Li Delong steady.
Li Delong, who fell to the ground, raised his head and looked around, and then realized belatedly that except for the magistrate, county magistrate, chief registrar, and county captain, all the other officials in the yamen were untouchables.
!
With one sentence, he could offend all the troublesome brats in front of the Lord of Hell, and he did it!
Chen Yuan clapped her hands in her heart, she was so happy that she clenched her teeth and forced herself not to laugh out loud.
This idiot has spent eighteen years in fine clothing and fine food, working as a servant in the palace, and has seen the vanity of the nobles in the palace, which cannot be wiped away by just two years of exile.
Not to mention that in the exile village, everyone is an exile. Most of the chat content on weekdays is reminiscing about the glory of the past, and no incompatible outsiders enter their comfort zone to wake up the fool.
How many surprises does this stupid Li Delong have to give her today?
She didn't even want to hurt him like this, she thought he would find out it was fake money halfway, or at most he would just eat and be beaten...
Tsk tsk tsk.
You will not live if you do your own evil.
Manager Zhu took a few steps back. This bastard didn't want to live anymore, he still wanted his life!
"I...I..., otherwise I won't..." I won't collect the debt. I'm so crazy that I want to force the little girl to pay in the Yamen.
I thought that Li Wuzuo definitely didn’t want to lose face in front of his colleagues, so he could collect money here.
Manager Zhu's legs went weak, but luckily he was caught in time by two thugs.
When the rice was cold, the bowl was placed on the ground. The squatting government servant stood up, patted his knife, and said with a righteous expression, "You must report to the official!"
A civil servant whom Chen Yuan was not familiar with touched his beard and said, "How can you not report to the official after being eaten by the king? Even if we are subordinates without rank, we still have to make decisions for the people."
Xu said, "We will definitely get this money back for Baihualou."
Two jailers whom Chen Yuan was not familiar with stepped forward to help Manager Zhu, who had weak legs and weak feet, toward the door.
