03 Not agreeing on a word
You must know that Zhang Nanfei said this at the moment, but he saw that Xian Jingyue was rude, and he already held a grudge, so he took the lead in tearing his face. Seeing this, the other eight people www.biquge.info also lowered their faces and looked at Xian Jingyue together. Looking at the situation, the people who came to collect debts this time were naturally led by this difficulty.
Seeing this situation, Xian Jingyue was also a little stunned for a while. He broke through the pass and killed the enemy all the way, and after several battles, he came to Yueyang City. Originally, he planned to come to visit his classmate Lu Xiaohou when he was studying in the capital many years ago, and casually go to his Jinghu Marquis Mansion to rest temporarily, and then discuss how to find Xie Yixiang, who had been missing for a long time. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened in the Hou Mansion at this moment.
Now that he has listened to the words of Zhang Nanfei and others, he vaguely understands the reason for today's events, since Lu Xiaohou Ye really owes a debt to others, he will repay it reasonably. At the moment, Xian Jingyue didn't say much, just raised his eyes to look at Lu Xiaohou beside him.
When Lu Xiaohou saw Xian Jingyue looking at him, he couldn't help but laugh dryly, and quickly explained: "A few days ago, the imperial court had a batch of military salaries transported to Huguang, but for some reason, they suddenly disappeared out of thin air on the way, and they have not been found yet. And this batch of military salaries was originally to be sent to Chengtianfu in the east of Hudong, as a food and drink for the 20,000 troops stationed there, but who knew that such an accident occurred, so that the garrison of Chengtianfu had no military salaries, and they were without food for three days in a row, and they were about to mutiny. So General Tao, the commander of the Chengtianfu garrison, came to me for help, asking me to scrape together some money to buy food in other places to solve the urgent needs of the army. Due to the suddenness of the incident, I didn't have so much money in the Hou Mansion, so I had to go down, so I worked with all the friends here to make up 1.9 million taels of silver. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and continued: "Although the title of this marquis is based on his father, it is also hand-picked by the emperor, and when he encounters such a thing, he can't sit idly by. How do you know that until now, whether it is to recover the military salary, or to make up the military salary, or even to transfer food from other places, the imperial court still has not made any remedial measures, and I can't say it. Presumably, all of you here also know that as an official under the current emperor, how much money can you earn a month? The one million taels of silver that I took out that day had already been dug out of this marquis's mansion, so where is the surplus money to pay back to everyone?"
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Nanfei, who was the leader, immediately said in a deep voice: "What Hou Ye said is easy, what does it mean to work together to make up 1.9 million taels of silver? At that time, Hou Ye made it clear that he wanted each of the nine of us here to borrow you 100,000 taels of silver, and return it immediately after three days. How did it become a righteous funding, and it also brought up the name of the imperial court to suppress us?"
The chubby Boss Tang also said: "Yes, the words of Lu Xiaohou are so familiar. Yes, we came to the Hou Mansion three days ago, and you used these words to deal with us, asking us to delay for another three days, and we agreed. But when you came here today, you said this in front of everyone, didn't you want to impress this Jiangnan knife and ask him to stand up for you?"
Hearing Boss Tang explain his intentions, Lu Xiaohou was suddenly squeezed speechless, and had to look at Xian Jingyue with pleading eyes. Xian Jingyue saw that the nine people present were also staring at him in unison again, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed when he wanted to know what his attitude was. Unexpectedly, today's matter actually fell on him inexplicably, Xian Jingyue frowned slightly, and secretly calculated in his heart. The little marquis Lu next to him had a friendship with himself, and this time it was to appease the garrison of Chengtianfu and stabilize the situation in Huguang, so he exhausted his family wealth and owed a lot of money. However, in this dispute over debt repayment, he is an outsider after all, although the other party is aggressive, but it is also reasonable, and he can't come out by force, and he insists on protecting Lu Xiaohou Ye and not paying his debts. In the midst of the difficulties, there is nothing to be done about the first race for the moon.
At that moment, he had no choice but to speak, and said slowly: "The dispute over the silver money has nothing to do with me. But if I want to hurt people because of this, I can't ignore it. ”
You must know that things have developed to this situation, and this is the first time that Xian Jingyue has spoken. Although his words did not protect Lu Xiaohou, when it reached the ears of the nine people who came to collect debts, it seemed extremely ugly. Zhang Nanfei immediately snorted and said coldly: "Murderous and hurting people? I waited for this time to come to collect debts, all based on theory. If we really want to be murderous, we would have used the common debt collection methods such as splashing red paint and smashing signboards. By now, it is the ninth day after the repayment deadline agreed between us and Hou Ye, which has already given Hou Ye enough face, and we can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. In any case, no matter what, the Hou Ye must wait for me to give an explanation today. ”
As he spoke, he slowly untied a pine-patterned ancient sword on his back, and said in a deep voice: "If Prince Jingyue wants to stand up for Hou Ye and protect him from paying his debts, then Zhang will have to measure his strength and dare to learn the high tricks of the heirs of the Sword King." ”
It must be known that since Zhang Nanfei is the head of the Wuling Sword Sect, he is already faintly the leader of the Huguang Martial Arts, and the other eight people who came here are also looking at him. Now seeing him draw the line to make an appointment to fight Xianjingyue, the other eight people also stepped forward at the same time, quietly surrounding Xianjingyue.
Lu Xiaohou Ye originally thought that even if these people in the rivers and lakes did not give face to the imperial court, they would have to be afraid of the famous Xian Jingyue, but who knew that as soon as Xian Jingyue spoke, he just said a word, and immediately made a stalemate with everyone. He couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, listen to me, I am by no means the kind of person who does not repay his debts, but there are indeed hardships in it......"
Xian Jingyue didn't wait for him to finish, and said coldly: "If you are also contributing to the world, why bother to force each other?"
Originally, he also took into account the morality of the rivers and lakes, and it was inconvenient for Lu Xiaohou to make such a head, but seeing the actions of Zhang Nanfei and others, it was clear that he wanted to intimidate himself with the siege, and he was suddenly arrogant.
At that moment, Xian Jingyue glanced at the nine people present one by one, and had already made up her mind in her heart. He said lightly: "You nine people are together, why should I be afraid? If you can take my knife, I will turn around and leave." ”
Hearing Xian Jingyue's arrogant words, the nine people present were furious, but when they heard a swishing sound, everyone had already shown their blades one after another;
Seeing that because the two sides disagreed, a fierce battle was about to break out, and Lu Xiaohou was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Suddenly, an old man's voice sounded outside the lobby, panting and saying, "Hugh...... Hugh has to do it, wait for ...... Wait for the old man to pick up the ...... This knife of the prince of the moon!"
