Chapter 2 Door-to-door debt collection
Several gangsters stood at the door and blocked Lu Chensheng firmly.
"Boy, it's time to pay back the money you owe our family!"
"I owe money, what money do I owe?"
The slut was stunned, and probably didn't expect that the other party would still want to pay the debt, so he immediately looked fierce.
"This is the IOU you wrote by yourself. Why? Do you want to pay back the debt? If you don't say you are a scholar, you will have to pay back the money even if you go to the yamen!"
As he said that, the gangster raised the IOU in his hand.
Lu Chensheng looked carefully and did have his own signature on it.
At this moment, he also recalled that there was indeed a case of borrowing money. In order to treat Jiu Niang's illness, he borrowed some money back.
But after the other party knew that he was going to lend money to Jiu Niang for treatment, he directly cheated Lu Chensheng and his wife.
It was agreed to borrow one or two taels of silver, but the other party only gave three stakes of copper coins. There were one hundred stakes of copper coins, and ten stakes of copper coins were worth one or two silver coins.
Calculate the current interest rate and the principal, you have to repay as much as three taels of silver.
This is even more scamming than nine out and thirteen returns.
"I don't have that much money right now, and I will pay it back in the future."
Lu Chensheng frowned. It is difficult to repay a few taels of silver. There is no business to make money, so the three taels of silver is almost impossible to repay.
When the punk saw Lu Chensheng accepting the accounts, his face slightly improved, but it was just better.
"As we agreed, you must pay back the money in three days, otherwise this part will be ours!"
After saying that, the punk waved his hand and asked a few people around him to enter the house. They wanted to see if there were any valuable items in the house.
The purpose is also to prevent the other party from having money to repay.
There were already some dilapidated thatched houses, which were tossed and turned by several gangsters, and almost did not collapse.
"I am a scholar. You dare to act like this in my family. I will report to the yamen to see how many layers of skin you have to take off!"
Lu Chensheng was angry and immediately scolded coldly, asking them to search their house like this, and he had no place to sleep at night.
When the plunder heard this, he hesitated for a moment. He was a little afraid of Lu Chensheng's identity. After stopping embarrassedly, he warned Lu Chensheng again.
If you can’t pay back the money, you have to use this piece of land to pay off the debt!
Lu Chensheng also understood now that these people were probably looking at this piece of land before, and the reason was very simple.
After being admitted to the scholar, Lu Chensheng designated this piece of land to himself, and he would also enjoy the right not to pay grain tax in the future.
A river flows out outside, and the two sides of the river are just a good piece of land, and it is the best place to grow grain.
Moreover, if you can seize this piece of fertile land from Lu Chensheng, you can enjoy the right not to pay grain taxes at that time, and the profits will be much greater.
If this is passed down from generation to generation, your descendants can enjoy the happiness of this land.
After Lu Chensheng understood the truth, his eyes were a little cold.
Influenced by obsession, this area cannot be handed over. Once it is handed over, Jiu Niang's grave must be moved away.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Chensheng walked straight towards Fufeng City.
The towering city walls and a few mottled bricks can feel the history of this city.
If Lu Chensheng was usually on his own, he would probably stop and experience it carefully. After all, it was difficult to come to such a world, and to experience it more, he would live up to this day.
However, three taels of silver were hanging above Lu Chensheng's head, and Lu Chensheng had no leisure to sit and watch the city.
After entering the city, Lu Chensheng saw that he had attracted several children.
When the child saw Lu Chensheng wearing clothes, he was a little timid and dared not come forward. After spending some effort, Lu Chensheng finally got some vague news from the children's mouths.
The person who designed Lu Chensheng was a gangster in the city, and the leader was called Hei Boss.
Just now, when the child talked about the other person, there was a hint of fear on his face.
According to them, Lu Chensheng was not the only one who harmed the other party. I didn’t know how many people were killed and the wives and children were separated from each other.
If you can't afford money at home, you won't even mention that the house is occupied, and the fertile land at home is not spared.
For the people, this field is the root of life. If you don’t have the field, what can you do to support your family?
After Lu Chensheng found out the news, he left with a calm face. He had to inquire about this black boss.
I don’t have a penny on it, so it’s difficult to find out the news.
Lu Chensheng interrogated left and right on the street, and then he got some definite news.
He found the neighborhood of Hei Laojia, and after a while, Lu Chensheng turned around and left.
After returning to the thatched cottage, after cooking a little, Lu Chensheng barely ate it. While it was not getting dark, he groped and took out a piece of jade seal, squatted at the door and turned around to carve it.
On the other hand, Lin Yu, who had already found his uncle's house, visited his uncle's family and settled down in the backyard.
Seeing his uncle turning around and leaving, Linyu felt a little moved when he thought of the poems he had seen before.
"Uncle, I wonder how many scholars in Fufeng City can write poetry?"
Scholar?
When the middle-aged man heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"But want to strengthen some handsome scholars? There are many young talents in Fufeng City. If you are willing, let out a rumor another day, but I don't know how many scholars will come to you."
When Linyu heard this, his pretty face turned red with shame.
"What did my uncle say? Linyu just wants a scholar who is very good at writing poetry?"
The middle-aged man reacted and immediately replied when he saw that his niece was not what he thought.
"There are quite a lot of local people and talented scholars, but there are only three scholars who have passed the exam this year."
"There are three scholars?"
When Linyu heard this, he opened his mouth slightly widened, and his face vibrated a little.
It is not that easy for scholars to pass the exam, only two out of a hundred people can pass the exam.
On the premise of being a scholar, you still need to be a child student.
Some people, even if they are children, can pass the exam until they are seventy-year-olds and eighty-year-olds.
There are no more than a hundred children who have passed the exam in Fufeng City, but these three scholars are real. In this way, this is very appropriate.
"Which three scholars are they?"
"One of them is the son of Lin Huairen and Lin Langjun, a son of the Lin family in the east of the city. Everyone is praised for his talent in a poem.
The second is the son of the Lu family next door, Lu Benqing, Lu Langjun, who is very eloquent and quick-witted. No one can match his opponent. If he can go further one day, these two people will probably have some achievements."
Linyu's eyes flashed strangely when she heard this.
It is not so easy to pass the exam for scholars. These three scholars were born in Fufeng City. After hearing my uncle's praise, I believe these three people are really talented.
"But I don't know, so what about this third scholar?"
Linyu raised his flawless neck and asked with a little curiosity.
