PS: Repeating the same old tune, passing by and leaving a recommendation ticket, I have become a nagging ghost......

Although the snow was falling heavily at this time, and the sky was full of snowflakes, mixed with the cold wind and drilling into people's necks, Du Sanniang still didn't want to go into her house. This is the official house of the county party, not in the small but warm thatched hut of her own house, she has just spoken for a long time in her brother's house, but at this moment she has to move back to the room.

I don't know how long it took, but she took a light breath, beckoned, and bowed her head into the room without looking back. The thick cotton curtain in front of the door had been lowered, she rubbed her hands that had just been blown cold by the cold wind, stood there for a long time, and suddenly whispered: "Zhuying, when do you say we will go back to Fanchuan?" ”

"Lady!" Zhuying was shocked for a while, "How can the lady have such an idea!" ”

"Nothing!" Du Sanniang hurriedly shook her head, but thinking about these days of gathering less and leaving more, although she has been stubborn in front of her brother, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in her heart, and quickly stepped into the back room, and then sat on the low bed with her knees folded. Every time she sees Du Shiyi, she always feels that her brother seems to be a little different, even if she knows that it is a good thing, she can't help but have some gains and losses, as if in the blink of an eye, her brother has grown up so that she doesn't know it. I don't know how long it took before she raised her head and whispered to the worried bamboo shadow, "It's okay, I'm just talking nonsense, you must not mention it to Brother." ”

And Du Shiyi, who was also sitting on the bed behind closed doors, untied the skin in front of him at this moment and took out a pair of polished and smooth copper galls. Although he was very thoughtful about the news that Cui Yunzhi deliberately revealed, he knew that the meal had to be eaten in one bite, and the road had to be walked step by step. He gently turned the pair of heavy copper galls, but after a while, his wrists were already sore and painful, so he could only rest on his knees for the time being. But after a while, he began to figure out the trick without being discouraged, and after a while he lost track of time, until there was a soft knock at the door outside.

Du Sanniang still brought a bamboo shadow, but he politely refused the servant maid of the Cui family, after all, he also took care of his own life in the Lu family's thatched cottage. Remembering that he had said before that he didn't want anyone to disturb him, he couldn't help frowning, but thinking that maybe it was Cui Jianxuan's troubled guy, he thought about it again and again, and finally stood up and came to the door. However, he was about to go to the latch, when he was surprised to find a sharp blade inserted into the outside and gently pulling the latch. He wanted to shout, but after thinking about it, he immediately pressed one hand on the latch and let out another low shout.

"Who?"

The result of this shout and the latch being held down was that the sharp blade had no effect, and his low shout seemed to frighten the people outside. I don't know how long it took before a cowering voice came from outside the door: "Du Langjun, it's Wu Jiu...... Coming late at night without telling the public, and plotting to trespass, is indeed a great crime, but there is really no other way...... Please also ask Du Langjun to take the time to see him, a certain thanksgiving! ”

Knowing that the person who sneakily touched the county magistrate's house turned out to be Wu Jiu, Du Shiyi couldn't help but marvel at this guy's boldness, but then he realized that either someone helped thread the needle and thread, or someone deliberately connived, otherwise the consequences of being caught in the county magistrate's house were definitely not something Wu Jiu could afford. Despite his anger, he finally squeezed the pair of brass galls in his right hand that had not yet been put down, and then opened the door with his left hand. The next moment, I saw a figure flash in quickly, and as soon as he entered the door, he didn't care about 3721, and knelt directly on the ground with his knees weak.

"Du Langjun, a certain person is really desperate, please give me a way to live!"

Seeing that he kowtowed three times in a row, Du Shiyi, who had not had time to close the door, suddenly frowned, and then closed the door and only closed the latch gently. He stared down at Wu Jiu for a long time, and then he said lightly: "Don't kneel at the door, come in and talk!" ”

The guest rooms of the official residence are two, the outer living room and the inner room are bedrooms, which should not be luxuriously furnished. It's just a bed, a couch, a few and a few. At this moment, Wu Jiu, who got up, entered the inner room, and saw Du Jiu sitting cross-legged on the couch, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on his knees. However, this time he didn't have time to say those words of pleading, so he only listened to Du Shiyi's mouth.

"Tell me, how much money did you smash into before?"

When Wu Jiu heard this straightforward question, his face turned white all of a sudden. Thinking about the fact that this young Du Langjun always acted unexpectedly, but in the end, he could always get twice the result with half the effort, he gritted his teeth and said: "In September, all of them were shot, and at that time, the price of meat on the market was still at a high level, so there were a few people, and each person made an average of 10,000 yuan." Others accepted it when they saw it, but a certain saw that it was really easy to make money, and there were still many sun-dried locusts left that could not be used up, so he asked others to borrow 50,000 yuan on credit, and collected 500 small dolphins to rent a field house to raise...... As a result, now that the end of the year is approaching, they are all smashed in their hands. If you can't think of a way, you can only sell your sons and daughters, or even sell yourself as slaves to pay off your debts. ”

Seeing that the big man said this, he fell to the ground and wept, although he felt that he was insatiable and ended up like this, Du Shiyi still frowned and asked, "How much?" ”

"This ......" Wu Jiu didn't expect Du Shiyi, a child of a family, to see through that he had borrowed usury, and hesitated for a while, then he said hesitantly: "Monthly interest...... Twenty points, has been borrowed for four months. ”

Twenty cents? That's 20 percent a month? Double in four or five months? This kind of usury, this guy dares to do it!

Wu Jiu saw that Du Shiyi's face seemed to be pale for a moment, and he hurriedly explained: "It is the capital of the public party that was borrowed, and the capital of the public party this year is 1.5 million. Otherwise, if it changes hands from someone else, it will not be possible to say that the monthly interest rate of 30 or 40 is not good. ”

Although Du Shiyi knew that Wu Jiu had borrowed usury, he didn't know what the so-called public party capital meant, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "What is the public party capital?" ”

"That's it...... It is the capital taken out by the government to be put into large households, and people pay interest money every month for public and private miscellaneous use. For example, the food expenses of the officials in Dengfeng County came from here. Wu Jiu didn't care about explaining whether these would have any impact, so he swallowed his saliva and added, "The rule of Dengfeng is that if you put the capital of the public party 400,000, then the annual interest will be 400,000, and the interest will be around 10 percent ......of the monthly interest."

For the usury of the government with such a name, Du Shiyi couldn't help frowning. However, he knew that this kind of accumulation of disadvantages was not something he could manage, so he could only lower his eyelids, and then asked lightly: "Now you shouldn't even be able to take out the principal, let alone the interest money, right?" ”

"Du Langjun's eyes are like lightning." Wu Jiu instinctively complimented, it can be seen that Du Shiyi's face is cold, he shrank his head again, and said pitifully, "I can't get the interest money last month, so I went to the Xu family to plead with my old face, and finally I was able to get through this difficulty." But who would have thought that this month, somehow, the butchers don't slaughter meat and don't collect meat, the price of meat is even lower, and a certain is desperate...... I just ask Du Langjun to show mercy and save my whole family's life! ”

Seeing that Wu Jiu began to kowtow like pounding garlic again, Du Shiyi couldn't help but reprimand in a low voice: "Stop me!" If you just have a backlog of things that you can't sell, it's not like I can't help it. But now you are waiting to pay back the money at the moment, then it is not that simple! You just said that when you sell your sons and daughters, you can't be that when you borrow the capital of this public house, you are betting on your own children? ”

Wu Jiu glanced at Du Shiyi, and when he saw that his expression suddenly turned cold, he hurriedly shook his head into a rattle: "Naturally not, what was taken out was the family heirloom of one hundred acres of Yongye field, as well as all the small dolphins in the column at that time, as well as a certain ...... But there are still old mothers and brothers in a certain family, if these fields are really gone, they will definitely not follow. The old mother has always favored a certain two younger brothers, and when the time comes, it will be blamed for turning her face in court. Therefore, the child and the little girl were forced to sell themselves as slaves and maids to pay off their ......"

"Needless to say!"

Du Shiyi finally couldn't help but interrupt this guy's words, seeing that he immediately closed his mouth tightly, but his two hands were stubbornly picking at the green bricks on the ground, and his face was full of pleading, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

None of these slippery servants in the county party are easy to get along with. Previously, he relied on Cui Yunzhi's instructions, moved with words, lured him with profit, and Zuihou tried it himself, which finally aroused a certain momentum and succeeded. Now it is not impossible to help Wu Jiu, after all, he and Du Sanniang are in a foreign land, with a shallow foundation and a thin net worth, and they want to go back one day, they can't just rely on the poems and books in their stomachs, and someone has to be rich, but first of all, they must put an end to the hidden danger that Wu Jiu has different intentions one day!

After muttering for a long time, he spoke: "Since you sneaked in tonight, naturally someone will help you." Have you thought about it, even if you meet me as you wish at this moment, you will still stay in the county party in the future? ”

Wu Jiu has been begging everywhere these days, but there is really no way, so he rushed to the doctor, thinking of Du Shiyi, who originally pointed them out on such a financial path. Hearing this at this moment, he was originally glad that Cui Yuan, who had always been difficult to speak, had made an exception to help him so much today, and his face suddenly turned pale. He subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Du Shiyi, but for a while he sat on the ground, and said in a daze: "How is that good?" If there is no county party to rely on, the people of the Xu family will have to be demolished alive......"

"I can help with that." After saying these words word by word, seeing Wu Jiu's face full of ecstasy, Du Shiyi said lightly, "It's just that it's not without a price." Didn't you say that you would sell your sons and daughters, or even sell yourself as slaves? I'll take care of it for you, but you'll have to give me yourself and the pigs you raised. ”

Wu Jiu stared at Du Shiyi's eyes, making sure that this didn't seem like a joke in the slightest, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. However, thinking that his family had been targeted, and unless he was willing to leave his wife and children and run away, he would not be able to survive this hurdle, so he had to make up his mind. What's more, now that he owes 100,000 yuan with interest, the 500 pigs are already backlogged in his hands and can't get out, even if he sells all the four of his family, he can't exchange this much! And Du Shiyi's temperament is a little bit touched, it shouldn't be that kind of evil master. Clenching his fists fiercely, he hesitated again and again, and finally kowtowed his head hard.

"It's up to Lang Jun!"
