Li Si couldn't answer again.

"It is only natural to repay debts. Although the second brother Hou died, this debt had to be repaid. Liangchen looked coldly at the black mole man.

Li Si didn't dare to look directly into the other party's eyes, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "More than sixty taels." ”

"Oh." Liangchen nodded slightly, "What about the IOU?" ”

According to Li Si, a flying tiger soldier pulled out an IOU from his hand, Liangchen took a look at it, and found that the date on it was more than 20 days ago, presumably a new note written on the day Hou Er was injured.

Li Si didn't know what the other party wanted the IOU to do, but even if the other party would tear up the IOU, he had nothing to say. But he did not want the young man, but he ordered his attendants to fetch money for him.

When Liangchen left Beijing, he brought some money, and Xiao Tian had a lot of broken silver on him for eating and drinking on the way. Listening to the angel's father-in-law's instructions, Xiao Tian hurriedly took out a money bag and checked it, estimated that the amount was enough, and threw it in front of Li Si.

Liangchen motioned to Li Si to pick up the money, and then said, "Give you the money, and the debt will be cleared, and I will tear this piece up." ”

"Childe, but tear it up." Li Si was beating a drum in his heart when he picked up the money, he didn't believe that this young man was really paying back the money for Houba.

"Childe?"

Hou Da was confused, this son's brother just said that he wanted to administer justice for his younger brother, but in a blink of an eye, he paid off his brother's debt. Is justice the same as paying back?

Liangchen didn't pay attention to what Hou Da thought, only tore the IOU in half, tore a few more casually, and threw it on the ground.

Looking at the broken strips on the ground, Li Si carried the money bag and said cautiously: "Childe, since the debt has been paid off, can you let us go?" ”

"Yes."

Liangchen waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to let him go.

So releasing people so quickly?

Li Si was stunned for a moment, and then several people rushed out of the courtyard like arrows for fear that the good minister would regret it.

When they ran, a few people couldn't help but look back, lest the big men behind them catch up.

None of the onlookers dared to stop Li Si and them, they just looked at their backs and cursed in a low voice.

"Why did Childe let them go! Hou Da watched the murderer who killed his brother run away, and he was very unwilling.

"Don't worry, the axiom of heaven will not be so cheap for them."

Liangchen has his own plans, and the legal principles of the Ming Dynasty are not forbidden, so it is indeed a matter of course to repay debts. And behind many money shops are local gentry.

To put it bluntly, as long as you borrow this money, no matter what the reason, as long as there is a note, you will have to be sentenced to pay back when you get to the government. Unless, unless, there are a very few officials who know that they are willing to make decisions for the parties, but there are very few such officials.

As long as the law does not say that debts do not need to be repaid, officials will be lazy to do much. After all, without any background, there is almost no profit just by being ruthless. Moreover, it is this kind of gambler's loan, and the government does not want to ask. There is something hateful about the so-called wretched.

Thirty years ago, Hai Rui, the governor of Yingtian, was strong in making decisions for the "weak" people, and in his opinion, as long as it was a lawsuit, it would definitely be the poor who were bullied and the rich who were at the expense. Therefore, no matter what case comes into his hands, the poor will be sentenced in favor.

As a result, a large number of scoundrels and ruffians, poor and white, lazy people sued the creditors or rich people to the yamen, and Hai Jui ruled that the creditors lost the lawsuit, regardless of right and wrong, which caused a great uproar among the people, and the good families hated the clean officials to death.

Such an official can't do it for long.

Sometimes, a clean official is not necessarily a good official.

Of course, Liangchen wants to avenge Hou Er, Brother Dao is dead, his brother doesn't make decisions for him, he has to say that it hurts when he touches his chest, and he can't say that he has a conscience in the future.

But this matter can't be handled on the Hou family's side.

Liangchen can rely on his own strength and strength to clean up Li Si and them.

What happens after that?

Has his father-in-law Wei stayed in Dingxing County all his life and didn't leave?

There are only two means for the strong dragon to crush the head snake.

First, the strong dragon has become a ground snake.

The second is to kill the snake on the ground, and it will be a hundred.

Of course, it is impossible for Liangchen to stay in Dingxing for the rest of his life, so he can only choose the second way. Otherwise, he walked on the front foot, and the gang on the back foot killed the door again, how would the Hou family deal with it?

At that time, I am afraid that the Hou family will complain more about him than thank him.

Good intentions do bad things, good ministers don't do it, so he thinks about it.

Inside the house, Baba and her son were still crying.

Liangchen shook his head, asked Xiao Tian to touch two more silver ingots, and handed them to Hou Dahe's cousin, asking them to take them to buy a coffin for Hou Er and take care of the funeral.

"Childe, how does this work!"

Hou Da and the cousin were embarrassed to ask for it, and the good minister forced it into Hou Da's hands and asked them to do it quickly.

Hou Da and the cousin were grateful, and hurriedly went to ask for help. Hou Er's death has a lot to do. Liangchen went straight into the house, and when he saw that Ke Yinyue was crying sadly, he walked to her side, gently persuaded a few words, and then gave Baba a look.

Ke Yinyue understood, did not go out with Liangchen immediately, and after crying on her husband's stomach for a while, she pretended to be too sad and uncomfortable, and went to the neighboring house to rest with the support of her sister-in-law.

Liangchen took a moment and flashed in.

"Those people are gone?" Ke Yinyue wiped away her tears and asked.

Liangchen said that he had returned the money for Hou Er, and Ke Yinyue was a little surprised when she heard it, saying that the previous gang said that Hou Er owed more than 100 taels, so how could he only pay back more than 60 taels.

"That's what scares you."

Liangchen glanced out, bent down to Baba's ear and whispered, "I'm going to do something, don't cry too sadly, don't hurt your body." After speaking, he gently pinched Baba.

"If you die, you will not be afraid to be seen."

Ke Yinyue interrupted Liangchen's hand, Hou Er had just died, she would not be in the mood to flirt with Liangchen. If you want to say it's sad, it's really uncomfortable.

Liangchen smiled, walked out of the house and nodded to Xiao Tian, then left a few people behind, and left the rest of the people out of the village.

After the good minister left, Hou's daughter-in-law came over and asked Ke Yinyue who they were.

Ke Yinyue hurriedly followed the orders of the good minister, saying that it was sent by the East Palace to protect her.

"Ah, the people sent by the prince!"

Hou's daughter-in-law was shocked, didn't her concubine just go to the palace to be a wet nurse, how could she go home and even the prince sent someone to protect her. Thinking about the young man's brother again, he couldn't help but feel sorry for a while.

After the good minister took people out of the village, he led people straight to the official road.

Li Si's gang came by carriage, and they couldn't go fast, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to get to the county when it was dark. However, it is also strange to say that several Flying Tiger soldiers looked around and found that the carriage print was not galloping up the official road, but branched off to a small road leading to the north.

"People are guarding against us."

Liangchen smiled, and Li Si's gang was also a thief.
