After a busy day of moving to his new home, Chai Yan changed into his official uniform the next morning and went to the Wude Department to report to Li Dachui.
Unfortunately, Li Dachui was not here, saying he was out of town on business.
Just as Chai Yan was about to leave, Jimo Qiao appeared in front of him.
"Hey, where are you going?" Jimo Qiao called to Chai Yan.
Chai Yan said: "Go and collect debts."
"Debt collection? Who owes you debt?" Jimo Qiao looked like he didn't want to miss anything happening.
Chai Yan took out a written note from his pocket and said, "Di Chu, he still owes me one hundred taels of gold!"
Jimo Qiao was shocked. He jumped up to him in a few steps, took the receipt and read it quickly, exclaiming: "Wow, that's awesome, Chai Yan!"
Chai Yan took back the receipt and put it away, saying, "When I receive the money, I'll treat you to a big dinner!"
After saying that, Chai Yan left.
Not long after he walked out, Jimo Qiao chased after him, shouting: "Chai Yan, wait for me..."
"What are you doing again?" Chai Yan turned around and asked.
Jimo Qiao said with a smile: "I'll go with you, asking for debt sounds interesting, hehe..."
"It's up to you." Chai Yan doesn't object. If she wants to follow, let her do it. It's also good to have more than one person cheering and playing drums.
So, the two of them walked towards Di Chu's official room with their heads held high.
Di Chu was discussing with Pu Junxiong about hunting down the assassins when he suddenly heard a subordinate coming to report at the door, saying that Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao were here.
"Chai Yan? How dare he find me here!" Di Chu's face darkened instantly.
Pu Junxiong wondered: "Why is Jimo Qiao here too? Why is she joining in the fun?"
Di Chu temporarily put down what he was doing and said to his subordinates: "Let them come in!"
The moment his subordinate turned around and left, Di Chu couldn't help but said to himself: "I want to see what he is here for!"
Soon, Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao entered the official room one after another.
Chai Yan changed his attitude from that day. When he came in, he smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I've met the Di Secretary, I've met the Pu Secretary..."
Di Chu and Pu Junxiong couldn't help but glance at each other, wondering what the hell was this guy Chai Yan doing? How could his attitude be completely different in just two days?
Di Chu was not in a hurry to talk to Chai Yan, but first looked at Jimo Qiao behind him: "Miss Jimo, what are you doing..."
Jimo Qiao immediately interrupted: "Two envoys, please ignore me. I'm just here to watch the fun. Just treat me as if I'm not here..."
After saying that, Jimo Qiao put his hands behind his back and stood aside, acting as if it had nothing to do with him.
"What fun are you watching?" Pu Junxiong asked while looking at Di Chu.
Di Chu then asked: "Chai Yan, what are you doing here?"
Chai Yan smiled and took out the documents, unfolded them all and showed them, and asked: "Shishi Di, have you forgotten these one hundred taels of gold?"
Di Chu and Pu Junxiong understood what was going on the moment they saw the documents.
To be honest, even if Chai Yan didn't mention it, both Di Pu and Di Pu had completely forgotten about it.
"Chai Yan, do you really dare to ask for it?" Pu Junxiong said coldly.
Di Chu stood in the room with a dark face.
"Why don't you dare to ask for it?" Chai Yan pointed at the words with his other hand and said, "I made it clear to Secretary Dis, and it was clearly written in black and white on the paper, otherwise I would risk my life and go into the cave? I'm not stupid.
..."
Pu Junxiong couldn't answer, so he had to look at Di Chu. After all, they signed the document in front of everyone that day, and he signed and signed it.
Di Chu was extremely reluctant to give this one hundred taels of gold, so he said: "Chai Yan, as an official of the Wude Department, as the emperor, and as a member of the imperial court, it is only natural and right for you to do so!"
Chai Yan's expression immediately changed, he frowned, and asked directly: "Shishi Di, what do you mean by this, do you want to default on the debt?"
"What kind of account are you relying on?" Di Chu said with a black face: "This evidence is simply invalid, how can you say you are relying on it?"
Pu Junxiong also nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, written evidence is invalid. It is your responsibility to handle errands for the court and the emperor!"
"Made, I knew you would default on your debt..." Chai Yan sneered.
Jimo Qiao, who was standing by, saw this and deliberately lowered his voice and asked: "Chai Yan, they won't give you money, what are you going to do?"
Even though they lowered their voices, Di Chu and Pu Junxiong could still hear clearly clearly, but Jimo Qiao was just being weird on purpose.
"What should I do?" Chai Yan raised the corner of his mouth and shrugged: "What can I do? I am a small sexton, so I can only ask my colleagues to comment..."
At this point, Chai Yan changed the topic and asked Jimo Qiao: "Miss Qiao, do you know where to buy gongs around here?"
"Why do you want a gong?" Jimo Qiao was puzzled.
Chai Yan replied: "Of course it's knocking! Let me tell you, I will go around and beat the gongs in a moment to summon all my colleagues, and then explain his default on the debt from beginning to end. I want to hear what you guys are saying.
No matter what you say, I don’t believe that everyone will side with me!”
Hearing this, Di Chu's face turned even darker, and Pu Junxiong also murmured in his heart.
Jimo Qiao said in surprise: "Ah? You're not, right? There's no need to make the matter so big..."
"It's not necessary? Ha..." Chai Yan couldn't help but chuckle, and continued: "It's very necessary for me, okay! Miss, of course you don't understand the suffering of us poor people if your family is rich.
, do you know how much land and luxury houses I can buy if I put one hundred taels of gold in our hometown? If I can’t get this money back, won’t I lose a lot of money?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Chu shouted angrily: "Chai Yan, how dare you!"
"If you dare to default on your debt, let's see if I dare!" Chai Yan said tit for tat, showing no fear.
In the next scene, Chai Yan with raised eyebrows and Di Chu with black face confronted each other.
After a while, Pu Junxiong suddenly pulled Di Chu into a corner and whispered: "Old Di, if this kid dares to come over and ask for money, he probably came prepared..."
Di Chu was startled and asked, "How do you say this?"
Pu Junxiong expressed his thoughts: "Old Di, have you forgotten? This boy just met the prince a few days ago. The prince not only promoted him to an official position, but also gave him a house...
.I guess the prince must have read this document a long time ago, and he brought Jimo Qiao along with him..."
Di Chu frowned and whispered: "You mean, he has the prince's instructions? Jimo Qiao came with him to serve as a witness for him?"
Pu Junxiong nodded solemnly and said with a solemn expression: "Old Di, the prince is deliberately trying to disgust us!"
Di Chu was stunned and immediately fell into thinking. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that what Pu Junxiong said made sense. Chai Yan went to the Prince's Mansion, and when he came back, he became extremely arrogant and domineering when he saw him. Now he dares to come to ask for debts.
........
Yes, it must be the prince’s intention! Damn it...
"What should I do?" Di Chu had no idea and had to ask Pu Junxiong.
Pu Junxiong was also helpless and said: "Old Di, we can't give Chai Yan a chance to make things bigger. One hundred taels is just a small amount of money..."
After burning the incense, Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao left Di Chu's official room side by side.
Chai Yan smiled and held a cloth bag, which contained ten golden gold ingots, twelve taels each, a total of one hundred taels!
Jimo Qiao turned back and glanced in the direction of the office building, and said in admiration: "Chai Yan, you can do it! You actually managed to scare Di Chu into silence with just a few words..."
Chai Yan raised his eyebrows at the same time and said proudly: "You see, this is the pressure of public opinion!"
