This force of slamming the door was not very polite, and it was obvious that the person who came here was not malicious. Qi Zhen put down what he was doing and walked over to check.
In Bai Shui's room on the other side, no one saw Bai Shui's expression change drastically, and he whispered to Saburo: "I'll go out and hide first."
Before Saburo could react, he jumped out of the back window and ran towards the backyard wall.
"Dad..." Sanlang wanted to say something, but it was too late.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, the people outside rushed in ferociously, and even reached out to push Qi Zhen who opened the door.
Qi Zhen restrained the opponent and pushed him to stagger.
"What are you doing?" he shouted in a deep voice.
Bai Banxia, Bai Tian, and Bai Shan heard the commotion and rushed out. They saw that the courtyard gate was blocked by Qi Zhen, and six or seven big guys came outside.
"What are you doing? Debt collection!" The man who was pushed was called Lu Dasheng. He was not as rude as he looked on the surface. He immediately saw that Qi Zhen was very skilled and did not make any move. He made a gesture to stop the man who was about to rush behind him.
companion.
"What debt?" Qi Zhen asked with a cold face.
Lu Dasheng took out the IOU from his pocket: "This is the Baishui family, right? Baishui owes our master fifty taels of silver, and he promised to pay back the money within ten days, and it has been twenty days!"
The old lady Bai in the room suddenly jumped up and rushed out and asked: "Why did he ask you to borrow money? You borrowed it when you said it. Did the fifty taels of silver come from the strong wind?"
No wonder the old lady was excited, Bai Banxia was also shocked by fifty taels of silver.
A few days ago, she suspected that Baishui was away from home every day and was doing no good, so she thought that she should investigate secretly, but lately there were so many things going on that something happened before she had time to investigate.
Lu Dasheng shook the IOU in his hand and said: "The black and white writing on the paper has the fingerprints hidden on it. How can I trick you? Tell Baishui to come out and tell you!"
The old lady walked over quickly, but her expression changed as soon as she saw that she was the daughter of a scholar and was literate, and she also recognized Baishui's handwriting.
She rushed to Baishui's house, but Baishui was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is your father?" she asked, glaring at Saburo.
"Run away." Saburo lowered his head and uttered two words.
The old lady wanted to scold him, but when she saw the blood on his pants, she couldn't bear it. She ran directly to the kitchen and pulled Mrs. Xu out.
"Don't pretend to me, what's going on?" She yelled anxiously, and the old man came out of the house and hurriedly persuaded her.
Mrs. Xu turned pale when she saw the person coming, but looking at her expression, it was obvious that she knew what was going on.
Lu Dasheng lost his patience and said directly: "It seems that Baishui didn't tell you, so I will make it clear to you, lest you deny it."
He took the IOU and read out, "I, Baishuijin, borrowed fifty taels of silver from Yuan Wai and Lu Wen from Yuan Wai to purchase medicinal materials. The profits will be divided 50-50 with Yuan Wai Lu. I also promised to repay the principal within ten days. If there is any breach of contract..."
He spoke in a longer voice, "Give Yuanwai Lu a hand."
"What does he do to purchase medicinal materials?" The old lady couldn't believe it, and she punched Mr. Xu angrily, "You're crying, you must know what's going on, tell me quickly!"
Mrs. Xu cried so pitifully, "I don't know, I don't know anything."
"When you stopped me just now, didn't you just give Baishui a chance to escape?" Lu Dasheng sneered, "Do you think he can escape?"
Someone outside shouted: "Head, we've been captured by someone, we'll bring him back soon."
"We won't stop you. If you catch him and come back, you can explain the matter clearly." Bai Banxia spoke.
"My husband and Baishui also met by chance. I saw him taking some medicinal materials and said that someone in the family practiced medicine, so I thought I would believe him for once." Lu Dasheng sneered again, "But in the past few days, we have also checked, where did he purchase the medicinal materials?
, he obviously defrauded my master of his money to gamble."
The old lady couldn't stand firm and almost fell down. The old man hurriedly supported her and asked: "He went to gamble?"
"He is quite courageous. He doesn't have much money but he still pretends to be wealthy and gambles. When he loses the money, he defrauds my master of his money. Do you really think that the Lu family is easy to bully?" After speaking, Dasheng Lu folded the IOU and put it in his arms.
"If he can't pay back his debt, we won't be able to cut off his hands so bloody. Let's go see the officials."
Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen looked at each other. They both felt that these people were not casino thugs. If Bai Shui owed Lu Yuanwai fifty taels of silver and reported the IOU to the official, and Bai Shui was unable to repay it, the Bai family would have to come.
Repay, otherwise the owner of the family will be slapped with a brick wall, and the Bai family's house and property will also be confiscated.
There was such a big commotion in the Bai family, and many people in the village had already come to watch the fun. Zhang An only took a breath after returning home, and came running again when he heard what happened.
He squeezed into the yard and said, "You set up a casino to let him borrow money, right?"
"What you said makes no sense. My husband was defrauded of money and yet he will be framed by you? If you don't believe it, you can go to the county government and ask the officials to investigate." Lu Dasheng said.
At this time, someone shouted: "Baishui has been captured!"
The Lu family members tied Shuishui Bai behind his back and pushed him forward. When they arrived at the door of Bai's house, they pushed him into the yard. Baishui stumbled and fell to the ground, chewing a mouthful of dirt.
The old lady went over and tugged on his clothes, "Tell me what's going on? Did they force you to write the IOU?"
"I..." Baishui wanted to lie, but when faced with the fierce Lu Dasheng, he fainted again.
This person is typically a very reserved person and is very timid towards outsiders.
Bai Banxia's heart has sunk to the bottom. No need to ask, Bai Shui must have borrowed fifty taels of silver from someone else, and now I'm afraid there is not much left of the fifty taels.
"Baishui, if you don't admit it now, let's go directly to the county government office and talk about it," Lu Dasheng said.
Baishui just came back from the county government office. He hurriedly struggled to get up and said with a smile, "It's getting late. Brother, stop running around. If you give me a few more days of grace, I will definitely pay you back."
Zhang An opened his mouth wide, looked at Bai Shui, then looked at Bai Banxia, okay, I accept this, it is natural to pay back debts, they can't help, otherwise Bao'an Village will be unreasonable and bully others.
"For days and days, my master has been merciful by not calculating the interest with you. You can either pay back the money now or follow me to see the official." Lu Dasheng said and pulled Baishui's neck collar.
Xu moved, but did not dare to step forward to stop him, so he shouted to Qi Zhen: "Save your second uncle quickly, don't you care about his life or death?"
She then said to Zhang An: "Village chief, please help me as the head of the family. Don't you have a lot of people in the defense team?"
"Help!" Zhang An couldn't help but swore, "He owes someone else a debt, how can we unreasonably help him beat them up?"
Mrs. Xu started crying again, "My boss was also deceived. Don't the folks in the village care about his life or death?"
