Chapter 271: It is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs
In the small courtyard, seven or eight big men surrounded him, stepping on a young man with a blue nose and swollen face, and he was embarrassed.
Lao Li, who seemed to be the owner of the house, protected his wife, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter, and curled up in a ball with low sobs.
"Old man Li, in black and white, it is clear, don't say that I don't care about the neighborhood, I have given him half a year of leniency!"
A thin middle-aged man with a slightly gloomy face, shaking a note, said coldly.
The two subordinates understood, and immediately stepped forward, smiling and grabbing the rather beautiful daughter-in-law and the young child, and the frightened three of them cried.
There were also two big men, who punched and kicked the young man.
"Third Master He, please raise your noble hand and let go of the old man's family, this beast has nothing to do with our Li family!"
Old man Li's voice was hoarse and pleading.
"Dad, didn't the little prince give a piece of white corn? Hurry up and take it out to the third master, isn't it over? Maybe there is still a surplus!"
The young man hugged his head and said urgently.
"Brute, that's the prince's kindness, Xiao Sheng is still counting on these white corn foundation martial arts, how dare you make up your mind?"
Old man Li scolded angrily, protecting the family, and shouted with a pale face, "Third Master He, I don't recognize this son for a long time, and his affairs have nothing to do with my family, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Dad, I'm your son, your only son!"
The young man was dumbfounded.
"I don't eat, drink, prostitute and gamble like you, regardless of my wife and young son!"
Old man Li said hatefully.
As the saying goes, the father pays the debt to the son, and the son pays the debt to the father. But if you want to deny this son, you have to report to the yamen first, and after the official reviews and approves it, then issue the documents, which can be regarded as breaking away from the father-son relationship.
Lao Litou, I advise you, don't play these tricks with me, the black and white notes are very clear, even if you sue the yamen, you have to pay back the money obediently. If you don't repay the money, your daughter-in-law and granddaughter will have to go to Cuiyan Building to work for ten or eight years to pay off the debt. ”
He Sanye sneered.
It can be seen that he is used to doing this business, and the door inside is clear.
"You...... Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, it's the white corn given by the prince, you ......"
In desperation, Old Man Li had to move out of Wu Ming.
"Jokes, debts and repayment, it is a matter of course, even if King Wu is in person, the uncle will still ......"
He Sanye said disdainfully.
"Really??"
At this moment, a cold and indifferent voice came, and everyone in the courtyard looked sideways.
Originally, the eight big men still sneered and opened their mouths to scold, but when they saw Wu Ming, who was dressed in luxury and majesty, they couldn't help but silence in unison.
The name of the man, the shadow of the tree!
Although not everyone can see Wu Ming, He Sanye, who is the head snake of the land, has its own rules, and has long listed Wu Ming as an inviolable existence, and even has a portrait to observe, and recognizes it at a glance.
"Villain He Chang, please say hello to the prince!"
He Sanye shuddered with a cold heart, smiled all over his face, and bent down humbly to salute.
"He Sanye of the Sanhe Gang?"
Wu Ming glanced at him, sat indifferently on the stool brought by the guard, and didn't look at the old man Li and his family in the courtyard.
"In front of the prince, the villain is a fart. ”
He Chang's heart jumped, his forehead was sweaty, he nodded and bowed, and he was humble to the extreme.
As early as two years ago, after the anthill was first built, in order to integrate the forces of the southern outer city, as long as it was a notorious or tainted gang, it was eradicated one by one by Hu Lai and other small people as the object of training.
The Sanhe Gang still understands the rules, although it is mainly based on lending, it has never touched the bottom line, and has become one of the few remaining gangs in the southern outer city.
Not only that, in Wu Ming's previous plan, this gang occasionally participated, but the orders were issued after several changes.
"Huh!"
Wu Mingpi looked at the young man with a smile on his face.
"Little prince, no, the prince is above, the villain has grievances!"
The young man cried as if he had seen a savior.
"Lord Mingjian, this matter ......"
The corners of He Chang's eyes twitched, secretly screaming that it was not good, and said with a forced smile.
"Huh?"
Wu Ming glanced at him coldly, and he didn't dare to speak.
"Lord Wang, Lord Qingtian, you have to call the shots for the villains! they are too bullying......
The young man was overjoyed, and told the evil deeds of He Chang and others with a handful of snot and tears.
Although it was very beautiful, even his own Lao Tzu couldn't listen to it and turned his head, which is enough to show how disgusting his hard work is.
He Chang peeked at Wu Ming, who was expressionless, and his legs and stomach were about to cramp.
"Is that the case?"
When Wu Ming asked indifferently with a side face, He Chang almost collapsed to the ground in fright.
"Lord Mingjian, this matter ......"
He Chang is also good at observing words and feelings, gritted his teeth, and handed over the note.
"Forty percent profit, not much!"
Wu Ming casually glanced at it and said lightly.
What is forty percent of the profit, that is, to borrow ten taels of silver, within one year to settle, that is, to repay fourteen taels, if not, the next year doubled!
Compared with the usury that is often more than fifty percent, seven or eighty percent, or even one hundred percent, or even higher, it is indeed low!
This is also one of the reasons why the Sanhe Gang will be left behind!
The deadline on the note indicates that it has been extended by four months.
Even if you are as picky as Wu Ming, you have to secretly praise it, it's really a conscience loan!
Not to mention, the fingerprints on the notes are layered, indicating that the borrower has borrowed more than once.
"Lord Wang, you are a living Bodhisattva, how can you be such a villain?"
The young man sensed that something was wrong and cried.
"I bought it!"
Wu Ming didn't look at him, he folded the note and put it into his cuffs.
"Look at what you're talking about......"
He Chang was obviously relieved, where did he dare to ask for money, and if he didn't cripple himself on the spot, it would be considered profitable.
"Does this king look like a man who took it by force?"
Wu Ming said coldly.
He Chang had no choice but to take the money bag stuffed by Sun Shanwu, and he had to accompany the smiling face, and he didn't dare to leave.
"Old man Li!"
Wu Ming looked at Old Man Li, who had not spoken from beginning to end.
"Please be gracious and make decisions for the little old man, he is no longer my son, and the old man doesn't want this kind of son anymore. ”
Old man Li gritted his teeth and said.
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense?"
The youth was incredulous.
"Uncle, please get up. ”
Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and stepped forward to help Old Man Li with a pleasant face.
What surprised him even more was that Old Man Li also said something that made him almost applaud.
"Don't worry, although Xiao Lao'er doesn't read much, he also knows that since ancient times, it has been difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, no matter how you meddle in this matter, it is not pleased, but you are still here, Xiao Lao'er will never make it difficult for you to do, and I don't want to be poked in the backbone for the rest of my life.
Ming'er, I will go to the yamen to make a report, and let the master of the yamen issue a document to sever the father-son relationship with this beast. ”
Lao Li Tou Xu was disappointed and resolute.
"Daddy!"
The young man collapsed to the ground in despair.
"Don't make a wrong decision for the sake of a momentary anger. ”
Wu Ming persuaded.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely change, you just listen to the words of the prince, give me another chance!"
The young man's eyes were overjoyed, hugging Lao Li's thighs and begging.
"Brute, if you could change, you would have changed a long time ago, why would you wait until today?"
Lao Li Tou kicked it to the ground hatefully, gasped a few times, looked at the frightened family with a sad face, and said miserably, "Lord Wang, you don't need to persuade anymore, the little old man can still tell the good from the bad." ”
"Hey!"
Wu Ming sighed deeply, shook his head again and again, helped the old and weak up, and said softly, "There are many people in my house, you can do some sewing work to subsidize the family, and these two children can also listen to the Shutang Martial Arts Academy in their spare time." ”
"Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, don't kowtow to Lord!"
Lao Li was overjoyed, and he was about to kneel down while holding his grandchildren.
"Okay, okay, this is how it should be, this king still has important things to do tonight, so I won't stay long!"
Wu Ming hurriedly picked it up, gave a few words, and then turned to leave.
As for the young man, he was blasted out of the gate by Lao Li Tou and fell on the corner of the street in despair.
No one noticed that from beginning to end, Wu Ming did not return the note, and Lao Li Tou did not mention it, as if he had forgotten it.
"He Sanye!"
When he came to the street, Wu Ming's face suddenly turned cold.
"The villain is here, don't say that, the prince, but you have to torture the villain!"
He Chang said humbly.
"Everyone is begging for a living on this street, I won't cut off anyone's wealth, but which stall dares to let him come to the door, or borrow money from him, don't blame this king for not being merciful. ”
Wu Ming said lightly.
"Yes, don't worry, this little thing is wrapped up in the villain!"
He Chang nodded and said.
When Li Laohan's family in the courtyard heard this, they were overjoyed, and they were busy and bowed to the door again.
"Who told you to ask for a debt tonight?"
Wu Ming took two steps forward, and when He Chang breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't look back.
"Lord Mingjian, the villain knows that he shouldn't collect debts today, let alone be blinded by lard, and the idea of beating white corn ......"
He Chang shuddered.
"Let's talk about it when we think it through!"
Wu Ming's voice was cold.
"The villain thinks that the white corn is extremely precious, and if it is used by ignorant villains, wouldn't it be a waste of good things, so it ...... overnight"
He Chang sweats like rain, and his legs are like sifting chaff.
No matter how dull he is, he reacts that Wu Ming doesn't care about what he does at all, let alone what he does, what he cares about is why he wants to be in debt tonight!
What he didn't know was that Wu Ming had always cherished feathers, and his reputation was now a talisman for him.
As Li Laohan said, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs.
If it weren't for the fact that this old man was still sensible, no matter how Wu Ming handled this matter, he would be criticized.
On the other hand, if the Sanhe Gang is suppressed, this feud will be bigger, and it will cut off people's financial routes, such as killing parents.
What's more, people do things according to the rules.
"Good!"
Wu Ming was cold, and stepped into the carriage without looking back.
"The prince is gracious!"
He Chang climbed onto the wheel with both hands and feet, and shouted hissedly, "It's Cuiyanlou Han Kun and me...... My eldest brother said to make a windfall......"
"Han Kun!"
Wu Ming's eyes were slightly cold, and he walked away coldly.
The stall of the Sanhe Gang is not small, I don't know how many people have borrowed money, and the wealth is moving, and the white corn has indeed blinded this gang that has always been measured!
But it was mixed into Cuiyan Building Han Kun later, and it was worth scrutinizing!
