Chapter 76 People, you can only be happy if you live in an illusion
Of course Yunchu will not default on his debts, on the contrary, he will do everything possible to fulfill his promise.
In a world where laws are imperfect, personal credibility is extremely precious.
A good character that was established after giving away half a million dollars, naturally cannot be ruined for a mere five dollars.
Seeing that December was coming to an end, Yun Chu originally hoped to follow the court's rules and start taking a break on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, which was a holiday, and stop all projects within Jinchangfang. Everyone had been busy for a year and it was time to take a rest.
.
For this reason, he also deliberately released half of the second part of the project funds in advance so that the people in Jinchangfang would have money to celebrate the New Year.
As a result, after these people got money, they still refused to celebrate the New Year well. Those who should work on the construction site still worked, and those who should do small business still did small business. They refused to take a day off.
After asking Liu Yi, Yunchu learned that it was the end of the year and they should pay back the money and food they owed others.
While the officials of the Tang Dynasty were resting, the old monkey invited Yunchu to play with him in a famous place in Chang'an.
The old monkey thinks that a famous place is naturally a place with beauties, wine, and delicious food. Of course, an old monkey wearing a monk's robe cannot enter such a place. This can only mean that Yun Chu is regarded as the old monkey's friend.
In name, he will be taken to play by a capable person.
Playing like this will be very tiring, and the worst part is that you will be asked questions by others. If you meet a few bastards with little cultivation, wouldn't you be unhappy?
Yun Chuhui would go to those places, but when he appeared, beauties would have to kneel down to greet him.
"Are you really not going to go? I heard that there is a sword dance at Qinfang Tower today."
Yun Chu's hands were still grasping the horizontal bar, and he was doing pull-ups easily. While doing the movements, he said to the old monkey: "Give me some more time. If you want to go there later, I will take you to see the best one."
"
The old monkey smiled and said: "I look more like a teenager than you!"
Yun Chu let go of one arm and continued to stretch his body and said: "Whether or not you are a young man depends not on who is eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but on who is getting better and better."
The old monkey looked at Yun Chu's naked upper body with envy. Not to mention the plump chest muscles, they seemed to reflect light when soaked with sweat.
"Well, I'm old. If I can enjoy it for one more moment, I can enjoy it for one more moment. It's all earned anyway."
The old monkey left, and Yun Chu continued to warm up his body in the cold air. The body was the foundation for whether he could live a good life in the Tang Dynasty, and he did not dare to neglect it for a day.
After his body was fully moved, Yun Chu's body was steaming with heat. He pulled out a horse war spear from the weapon rack and shook out a bowl-sized gun flower. The spear stabbed out from the center of the gun flower that had not disappeared like a poisonous dragon...
…
Practicing spear skills, sword skills, and archery skills, Yun Chu didn't dare to slack off for a day.
After Yunchu exhaled and retracted the Tang sword and hid it behind his elbow, Cui quickly came over with his robe and put it on Yunchu.
"Lang Jun, Liu Yi brought back 1,200 tons of sorghum from the county government granary. He said that Lang Jun ordered him to do this. Do these sorghums need to be put into our granary?"
Yunchu put the Tang sword into its sheath and said to Cui: "Tell Liu Yi that any family in Jinchangfang who has no food supply can borrow fifty kilograms of sorghum from the square treasury and return it in three months without interest. Let Jiufei do it." Good entry and exit records.”
Hearing what Yunchu said, Mrs. Cui understood that Lang Jun was planning to use this batch of grain to make his family famous.
"Also, a few people came to the front yard, claiming to be the family members of Langjun Paoze and Chen Zhu."
Yun Chu sneered and said: "If it's Chen Zhu's elder brother and younger brother who come, let Shi Fei throw them out.
It's not even a matter of taking away the reward for his military exploits left by Chen Zhu, but it's really shameless to rob Chen Zhu of the money he earned with his life."
Mrs. Cui said quickly: "The ones coming this time are Chen Zhu's grandparents, his wife Liang, and their two daughters.
However, Chen Zhu's parents didn't look like good people. They kept saying that if they couldn't get the money today, they would go to the Wannian County government office to file a complaint. They also said that they couldn't let Lang Jun be evil. Such a huge sum of money was swallowed up."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "How do Chen Zhu's wives and daughters talk?"
"Chen Zhu's wife, Mrs. Liang, seems to be a sensible person. She hasn't said a word since she entered our house. She just held on to her two daughters tightly, as if she was afraid that others would take her away."
Yun Chu said with a smile: "Then tell them that Chen Zhu left a hundred and ten pieces of money and gave it to them and told them to get out."
Mrs. Cui smiled and said: "Mr. Lang, you gave all the other seven people's money, but why did you withhold Chen Zhu's fifty thousand?"
Yun Chu curled his lips and said, "I'm not happy to give it. Is this an acceptable reason?"
Mrs. Cui covered her mouth and smiled softly: "My good husband, it is only natural that the money left by Chen Zhu should be handed over to his mother-in-law. Even if he enters the government, he will be sentenced like this, and it will not fall into the hands of Liang and her. In the hands of my daughter.
They have not separated their families. Even if Chen Zhu is alive, the money must be handed over to his parents-in-law."
Yunchu sighed, scrubbed casually, and went to the front hall with Mr. Cui.
There were quite a few people standing in the front hall, and the most eye-catching one was a swarthy old man with a black hero scarf tied on his forehead and a hemp rope tied around his waist. He was as majestic as an ox.
This old man is not only swarthy, but his eyes are obviously protruding due to hyperthyroidism, which makes his entire appearance look very vicious.
Next to the old man stood an old woman as frail as a chicken, and she was very frightened. As long as the old man looked at her with hateful eyes, she seemed to faint.
In another corner of the hall, a thin woman hugged two equally thin girls tightly. The children must be seven or eight years old. They were barefoot, stepping on the mother's tattered shoes, and the children hid their heads in the mother's tattered shoes. In mother's arms, I dare not see anyone.
"Bring me my money!" The old man said simply. Seeing Yunchu come in, he reached out and asked for the money.
Yun Chu glanced at the old man, stood quietly in the center of the room, sighed, took out a piece of paper from his arms, put it on the low table, and said to the old man: "Brother Chen Zhu borrowed twenty-seven thousand dollars from me in the Western Regions." , it’s the end of the year, since you’re here, let’s get married!”
The old man's originally protruding eyes became even more protruding after hearing what Yun Chu said, and his two eyeballs seemed to pop out of their sockets.
"Impossible. My son has made a fortune in Qiuci. How can I borrow twenty-seven guan of money from you? You must want to swallow up my son's money. If you don't give me an explanation today, you will definitely sue the government.
"
Yun Chu glanced at Jiu Fei, who immediately bowed and said, "I've already gone to invite Fang Zheng. He'll be here in a moment."
Yun Chu stood up, glanced at the old man and said, "Stop talking nonsense for a while. Wait until Fang Zheng comes over, take this IOU, and then take this group of people to the county government office."
Seeing that Yun Chu was about to leave, the old man stepped forward to stop Yun Chu and said: "Why is it that everyone else has made money, but my son has not? Don't bully me and other bankers."
Yun Chu said calmly: "There are so many people who have died in the Western Regions, and there are only a few who can make money. Your son is stingy by nature. When we proposed to do business, your son was unwilling to take money, so naturally he didn't
Money can be divided.
Not only did he have no money to share, he also borrowed no less than 80 guan from several of us one after another. They all said that the debt would be canceled after death. We recognized the 80 guan to collect your body and transport you in the Western Regions.
The cost of returning the child's body to his hometown cannot be spared, which is the origin of the debt of Twenty-seven Guan."
"Where did the eighty thousand dollars that my son borrowed from you go?"
"I heard that I bought seven or eight Orchids."
"What about the seven or eight Orchids?"
"You ran away when the city of Qiuci was destroyed. Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. You can quickly return the twenty-seven coins to me. Otherwise, I will ask Fang Zheng to send you to the county government and let the government pull you."
Your family’s cattle and your family’s Yongye field will be sold to pay off debts.
I heard that your family has not been divided yet, and you have taken away Chen Zhu’s pension money, so this debt can only fall on you, the father-in-law."
The old man was furious. He grabbed Yun Chu's sleeve and tried to make a noise. Yun Chu's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust. He shook his sleeve, wrapped the old man's hand, and pushed forward violently, waiting for the old man to exert his strength.
When he stood firm, he dragged him backwards. The old man was wrestling with Yun Chu forward. Who knew that Yun Chu didn't compete with him and changed his strength. The old man's own brute force, coupled with the power of Yun Chu's dragging, made the old man lose in an instant.
His feet lifted off the ground, and as Yunchu's arms flew backward, they hit the ground heavily with a thud.
Yun Chu stepped forward and stepped on the old man's neck, and said in a solemn voice: "You old dog, how dare you not pay back my money, and how dare you use violence?"
The old man was so stubborn that he turned his head and ignored Yun Chu.
At this time, Fang Zheng came to Yun's house with a group of strong men from Jinchangfang.
Yun Chu released his foot from the old man's neck and said to Liu Yida: "This man owes me twenty-seven guan of money. Take him to the Wannian County Government Office and remember to help me get the money back."
If their family's property is not enough, sell these people, and even if they die, they will get the money back to me."
How could Liu Yi, Fangzheng, who had been the district chief for more than ten years, fail to see through the purpose of this old man's visit?
Since my family had a lot of money, I happily gave away the money to the seven people in front of me. There was no reason why I should not give it to the remaining family.
There must be a reason for this.
Besides, if he is just a farmer from another county and dares to act recklessly in Chang'an, this is a recipe for death.
Liu Yi didn't like bullying, but he didn't know how to bully others. He immediately asked the strong men who came in to tie up the old man and his wife, who had been so scared that she was foaming at the mouth, and pushed them away.
County government.
After the old man and his wife were taken away, Yunchu raised his hands to Chen Zhu's wife Liang and said, "Brother Chen Zhu didn't buy Hu Ji, but kept every penny he had."
As he spoke, he took out a thick gold hairpin from his arms and handed it to Liang, saying: "He gave this to me before he died in the battle. I planned to put it in for you personally after returning to Chang'an, but unfortunately, he did not come back.
"
Mrs. Liang took the gold hairpin with both hands and kept stroking it. At first she just cried, and then she burst into tears.
