"Wait..." Li Xuan interrupted him, "I think you made a mistake?"
"What's up?"
Xu Meng was stunned.
"Did I borrow the money?
If I didn't borrow it, why should I pay it back?"
Li Xuan said.
Xu Meng looked at Li Xuan blankly, thinking he heard wrongly.
Before coming to collect debts, Xu Meng had already found out the details about Li Xuan.
It is said that Li Xuan is a good-for-nothing and a libertine that is rare in the history of the Li family for a hundred years. He could not awaken his talent and was ostracized and could not survive in the family. He was once detained in a brothel because of debts and was finally redeemed by the family.
.
It is conceivable that no one in the family will treat such a useless person, even if he is bullied, it will be nothing.
Just because he felt that he had defeated Li Xuan, Xu Meng came to collect the debt aggressively, but from Li Xuan's tone, it seemed that he did not intend to pay back the money! "What do you mean, you don't plan to pay back the money?"
Xu Meng sneered, "Do you want to default on your debt?"
Li Xuan said calmly: "This is not called repudiation.
I have said before, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. You can ask for the money from whomever you borrowed, and it has nothing to do with me!"
"I don't care, the signature on the IOU is Mingshui Manor, so I will ask your manor for it! Anyway, I must get the money today, otherwise, I will have someone come and move the things!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Xuan's expression changed a little.
Xu Meng was good at observing words and expressions, and immediately judged that Li Xuan was afraid.
He thought to himself: He is indeed a loser. He got scared after just a few words of scare... Of course Li Xuan was not scared. He looked at Li Fei and said, "What's going on?"
Li Fei coughed dryly and said, "It's like this. In the spring, the manor needed to purchase a batch of seeds and fertilizer. There was a shortfall in the payment, so I borrowed a sum of money from Mr. Xu Meng.
When the due date for repayment came, he came to collect the debt, but there was not that much money in the manor's account..." "Can I see the IOU?"
Li Xuan was too lazy to listen any more and directly reached out to Xu Meng and asked.
"Can."
Xu Meng shook out an IOU.
Li Xuan took it and took a look at it. Sure enough, it stated that the manor borrowed 18,000 taels of silver from Xu Meng and would repay 20,000 taels of silver with interest upon maturity. It had Li Fei's signature and the manor's seal on it.
The IOU expired more than a month ago. On the surface, it seemed that Xu Meng had no problem collecting the debt.
It was only 20,000 silver taels, but Li Xuan really didn't care. Just taking out a handful of the spiritual stones in his pocket could repay the debt.
I don't care, I don't care. If I don't clarify the matter, even a copper coin will not be paid back by Li Xuan.
He always felt that something was wrong with this matter. He had only been in the manor for a few days, and this Xu Meng came to the house with great fanfare to collect debts. Is this a show of force?
What's more, this debt really has nothing to do with him. He can't take over the manor and have to spend a large sum of money before he earns a single copper, right?
Throwing the IOU back to Xu Meng, Li Xuan looked at Li Fei and said, "Since it is the debt of the manor, why has it not been repaid?"
"There's no money in the account."
Li Fei's answer was concise and to the point.
"Why no money?
Where are the taxes and rents?"
Li Fei smiled dryly and said: "There was a drought this year, the harvest was not good, and various incomes were reduced a lot.
Some farmers cannot pay their rent and are in debt, so they have no money in their accounts."
"Oh..." Li Xuan nodded and said to Xu Meng, "Did you hear that? There is no money in the account. I will pay you back when I have money."
"What did you say?"
Xu Meng was furious, “No money?
You move things when you don’t have money, why are you just standing there, move all this furniture!”
As soon as he shouted, the men in black who had been standing behind him actually started to move tables and chairs.
"Master, we can't let them move the tables and chairs!"
Li Fei was startled and hurriedly whispered to Li Xuan, "There is really no money in the account. It's really not possible. The young master will advance some money and send him away first, and then think of a way."
After hearing what Li Fei said, Li Xuan understood.
Hehe, I dare you two to collude inside and outside to bully my newcomer! Li Xuan is not the good-for-nothing guy before, he is a dignified Luo Jinxian. There have been many intrigues. Who hasn't seen it?
As the steward of the manor, Li Fei was vague about his debts, which is the first suspicion point; he intentionally or unintentionally turned his words towards Xu Meng, which is the second suspicion point; the most important thing is that he just secretly exchanged a look with Xu Meng, thinking that Li Xuan was blind
ah?
"Get out of the way, otherwise it's none of our business if you get hit and broken!"
Several men in black walked up to Li Xuan and spoke arrogantly.
One of the guys stretched out his hand and wanted to push Li Xuan away.
Li Xuan sighed, looked at Xu Meng and said, "Does your mother know that you are so arrogant?"
"What?"
Xu Meng didn't understand.
"I mean, your mother would be ashamed of you if she knew you were so stupid."
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and said.
"? Mental illness! Don't talk nonsense to him, move!"
Xu Meng decided that Li Xuan was bluffing and shouted with a wave of his hand.
The men in black reached out to move the table, but before their palms touched the table, there was a scream! "Wha...what?"
Several men in black looked for the sound and were all dumbfounded.
They saw a stunning beauty! She had a tall figure, slender legs, elegance as pale as a chrysanthemum, and all kinds of charming beauty. Just one look at it made people want to have something happen with her! Several men in black clothes
Everyone swallowed secretly, with a look of greed and obsession in their eyes.
But at this moment, they saw an incredible scene.
This delicate beauty actually reached out and picked up Xu Meng! Picked it up! This beauty is none other than Qin Yiju.
Qin Yiju picked up Xu Meng with her right hand, and put the sharp sword in her left hand against his chin. The corners of her mouth were slightly curved, as if she was mocking or laughing.
Xu Meng's strength is definitely not weak. Although he is reckless and vulgar, he is actually a Qi practitioner.
But what is different from others is that he neither wants to join the Ranger organization nor join the imperial army according to the rules, so he becomes a gangster wandering in the gray area.
With the strength of a Qi Master, Xu Meng was naturally at home in the gangs, becoming the number one figure in the underworld in Xianyun City.
Over the years, despite the suppression of the imperial army and major families, and the suppression of the ranger organizations around him, Xu Meng was still doing well.
It's just that this time, Xu Meng was kicked against the iron plate. He, a new Qi practitioner, was not even an ant in front of Qin Yiju. He could be killed ten or eight times with just a look! In fact, with Qin Yiju,
Before Qin Yiju could do anything, Xu Meng was so scared that he peed. His crotch was wet, urine dripped down his trouser legs, and his whole body exuded a foul smell.
"Forget it, don't scare him to death."
Li Xuan said lightly.
Qin Yiju shook her hands in disgust, and Xu Meng flew out. He fell to the ground with a "plop" and was soaked in his own urine.
