Lin Yanchao said lightly: "He is forced by life, I can understand it, but if everyone uses poverty as an excuse to kill people and set fires with peace of mind, then what will the world become?" ‘

Chen Xinggui said: "Zong Hai, that's right. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info What do you say? Arrest Xu Ziyi and torture him? ‘

Lin Yanchao said: "No, didn't you say that Xu Ziyi owed Zhang Yuanwai a sum of money? Let's spend money to buy the IOU from this outsider's hand. ”

Chen Xinggui suddenly said: "Zong Hai, Gao Ming, use an IOU to force Xu Ziyi to comply." ”

"Exactly. Brother Chen, you just need to collect the bills, lend me a few thugs, and I will do the following. ”

Chen Xinggui nodded and said, "Okay. . . ”

Tanwei Street in the south of the city, it is said that there is a deep pool in the river here, which is bottomless, hence the name.

Now this is the provincial capital of the famous Linjiang commercial port, such as Yongfu Hall, Gutian Hall are located here, there are all kinds of wood gangs, bamboo shoot paper gangs, oil gangs among the merchants.

Along the river committee lanes are tile roofs covered with roofs, and the firewood fences built in rows are built in rows, the first floor is a store, and the second floor is inhabited.

In June and July, when the water floods, people can move the stove to the second floor and continue to live.

The streets are full of potholes, the water that rained a few days ago has not dried up, and the clothes of various colors on the small balconies on the second floor of the street hang directly on the middle of the road, on the heads of pedestrians.

Such a house is not afraid of waterlogging, not afraid of strong winds, but only afraid of fire, and a fire in winter can burn a street.

Therefore, in several rooms, the walls of the horses had to be repaired. The horse-faced wall, also known as the wind volcanic wall, can be insulated from fire.

It is different from the deep mansions and courtyards in the city, with a strong market flavor, no dignitaries, and a kind of grassroots-like vitality under the noise of the streets.

Several big men followed Lin Yanchao to the front of a room.

A big man hugged his fist at Lin Yanchao and said, "Lin Xianggong, the room in front is Xu Ziyi's house." ‘

Lin Yanchao glanced at the room and said, "It is natural to repay debts. You only remember one thing. Don't hurt anyone, let the rest go. ‘

'Yes. Brother Chen has instructed us, even if Lin Xianggong asks us to kill people and commit fire, we have to do it. The big man's name is Chen Jichuan, and he is Chen Xinggui's brother. It belongs to the Changle Chen family, a member of this maritime family business. For a long time at sea, there is not only the brave and ruthless side of the boat people, but also its shrewd and capable place.

Lin Yanchao sent him to be a villain, and it couldn't be better to collect the debt.

But seeing that Chen Jichuan kicked the broken firewood door of Xu Ziyi's house with one kick.

A woman's screams came from inside the room.

'What do you do in broad daylight, forcing your way into people's homes?' Is there still a royal law? Help, help! ‘

Listening to the woman's exclamation, the neighbors are all coming out, such a place. The small people are very grouped, and even the officials who come to collect taxes from the government dare to fight.

Suddenly, more than a dozen men with bamboo poles and kitchen knives rushed out.

Chen Jichuan and his gang shouted: 'What are you doing? Do? His Xu family owes our lord silver, and we are here to collect the debt! You have to stand up for the Xu family, okay, pay back the money, as long as this IOU is eliminated, we will turn around and leave. I apologize to you. ‘

Hearing these people's shouts, the voice of the woman of the Chen family suddenly became quieter.

When the people heard this, they did not dare to move. The people sometimes preferred to offend the government. But he didn't dare to offend these debt-collecting thugs and run rampant with the bullies in the township.

What's more, the Xu family does owe money, and it belongs to the party that loses money. Everyone dispersed at the moment, but blamed the Xu family for causing trouble.

'What about your man?' ‘

The woman cried: 'I went to the county school, he is a father-in-law, where do you put our faces like this?' ‘

'Xianggong is a fart? Even if the emperor Lao Tzu owes money. I have to pay it back! ‘

"But we said we don't have any money, so please give me a few days!" ‘

'I have mercy on you, who will spare me, a whole family waiting for dinner, who is not a rich lord?' Let me ask you. Can I pay it back? ‘

Lin Yanchao was in the distance, and he could hear the conversation in the room clearly.

At this time, when he saw the mouth of the alley, Xu Ziyi hurriedly ran over, obviously hearing the news, Lin Yanchao avoided it and didn't let him see him.

Xu Ziyi rushed into his house, and then he could be heard shouting: 'What are you doing here? Is there still a royal law? Lady, are you okay? ‘

'Xianggong, I'm fine. ‘

"Wang Fa is not allowed not to pay back!" ‘

Xu Ziyi's voice was a little quieter and said, "You give me grace for a few days, and I will definitely pay it back." ‘

'Grace? How long will it be delayed? Do you have any money to pay back today? ‘

'There's no one thing to do if you ask for money, you're kind of killing me.' Xu Ziyi is single.

'Don't, please spare me. He borrowed money for me to heal. ‘

'Hmph, I'm still coughing?' Your mother-in-law wants to be cured, but I don't want to be cured? ‘

"Brother Jichuan, let's not do it, others still think that we just talk and don't practice." ‘

"Okay, I'll see if we can tear this house down after a meal." ‘

'Don't. ‘

Suddenly, there was the sound of soldiers ping pong smashing things in the room.

Lin Yanchao can be regarded as knowledgeable, although Chen Jichuan's ability to collect debts is a bit excessive, but it really doesn't hurt anyone.

Lin Yanchao waited for a while, and then walked into the house, the ground was in a mess, but he saw Xu Ziyi holding his wife, trembling and squatting in the corner.

'Stop! ‘

Several people also stopped at the moment. Chen Jichuan smiled and said, "Lin Xianggong, this hasn't been active yet." ‘

Xu Ziyi is not a fool, seeing this scene, he immediately understood and said angrily: "Zong Hai, this is all your order? ‘

Lin Yanchao asked rhetorically: 'On the day of the annual exam, who instructed you? ‘

Xu Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly lost a little confidence, and said: "Zonghai, what are you talking about, I didn't mean to do it on the day of the annual exam, didn't I apologize to you?" ‘

'Keep smashing!' ‘

Chen Jichuan and the others started together, and immediately smashed things again.

'Stop! ‘

Lin Yanchao looked at Xu Ziyi and his wife, who had bloodless faces, and said, "Brother Xu, I know that you are also forced to be helpless, and your wife is sick and lacks money, so she is desperate. I respect your love for your wife, so I don't blame you. But I will not spare those who command you. ‘

If you don't tell the truth, okay, then I'll smash it again tomorrow." If you tell the truth, I'll tear this IOU for you on the spot. ‘

After speaking, Lin Yanchao put the IOU in front of Xu Ziyi.

Xu Ziyi looked at the IOU, and suddenly fell into a struggle, his chest rising and falling.

Lin Yanchao saw Xu Ziyi's expression and knew that he was already moving, so he immediately asked, "Did Sun Xiucai instruct you?" ‘

"No, no, I want you to misunderstand Sun Xiucai, but it's not him. ‘

'Who's that?' ‘

It is Yu Ziyou, who participated in the government examination this year. ‘

'Is he acquainted with you?' ‘

'I don't know him, but his brother is a big timber merchant in Gutian, and I still live in his brother's house. ‘

'Yu Ziyou, where is he now?' ‘

It's at the Gutian Hall on Tanwei Street. ‘

'Good. Lin Yanchao got up immediately and threw Xu Ziyi's IOU on the ground.

Xu Ziyi picked up the IOU and wept bitterly and said to his wife: "Okay, the lady is fine, it's okay." (To be continued.) )
