Chapter 2238 Light Gate Lintel 38
Xining looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "Elder brother can be the leader of Xuanhumen in times of crisis, hold up the beams of Xuanhumen, and save me from danger. I should repay this kindness with a piece of grass in my hand. Take care of the house. We also need people. Whoever you buy is not a purchase. I buy a few more girls and dress them up beautifully, just like the butterflies flying in the yard. I feel happy when I see them.”
Liu Yulang suddenly imagined many young and beautiful maids, dressed in pink and willow green, laughing and playing with him in the yard. Aren't these days happier than those in the village?
At this time, her peach blossom eyes narrowed, and her mouth cracked and smiled, but she said: "How did this happen, how did it happen..."
Suddenly I thought, something is wrong: "Little junior sister, we are going to Shitai Town, which is in the opposite direction to the capital."
Xi'an, who was driving the car, rolled his eyes, and now he remembered, wasn't he taking the road to the capital?
Xining said slowly: "There are still things to be done there."
When they arrived at Shitai Town, they inquired about the location and arrived at the location of the Wang family.
The Wang family ran a grain store, with a storefront facing the street in the front, a warehouse and a place where the clerks lived in the middle, and the back where his family lived. There are many people coming to buy food at the door, and there are also workers carrying sacks in and out from the side door, but the scale and momentum are not a bit worse than Zhang Yuanwai's house.
Xining got out of the car, asked Xi'an to look at the car, and walked over with Liu Yulang in a swagger.
When he arrived at the store, facing the man who looked like the shopkeeper, Xining cupped his hands and said, "I am from Xuanhumen. Is Mr. Wang here?"
This man in his fifties had slightly drooped eyelids and triangular eye sockets. He looked like a very shrewd person. His bright eyes jumped directly to Liu Yulang on her face. He looked up and down before he said, "Look for my house." What’s the matter, sir?”
The tone was quite polite. After all, these two did not dare to neglect Xuanhumen even though they did not look like famous doctors.
"At the ninth hour of the ninth lunar month, a man named Sun Dayong was seriously injured and asked me to treat him. Since I didn't have enough money for the diagnosis, I wrote an IOU for two hundred taels of silver. Please ask Sun Dayong or Mr. Wang to come out."
Xi Ning's words, let alone Liu Yulang's, the shopkeeper was also stunned.
The shopkeeper returned his gaze to her, looked up and down several times, then smiled, and his tone turned contemptuous: "Sun Dayong is not from the Wang family. Whoever owes you money is the one you go to. It's okay. Don’t hang around here, there’s still business to be done here!”
Liu Yulang is angry. He is a dignified leader. Even if he is not a leader, he is still a member of the Jianghu. Do you believe that he pulled out his sword and chopped down this guy with no eyesight?
"Okay!" Xining actually nodded and said tepidly: "In that case, I will go to the county government to file a lawsuit and ask the official to make the decision for me and recover the debt. Anyway, the money is in black and white. If you press the fingerprint, you will definitely be able to pass it on.”
"But..." She changed her tone: "The court will definitely ask how I owe the medical fee, so I can only tell the truth. When the official comes to ask, don't say that I didn't come but only you."
< br>
After saying that, he turned around and walked out while saying: "Let's go to Li's house and ask. If they don't want to give money, then go to the county government office!"
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and suddenly felt that something was wrong. If you don't enter officialdom in life, you won't go to hell after death. If you encounter a corrupt official, you will easily lose your family and property and die without a burial place.
Even if the person you meet is relatively honest, if you ask how the person was injured, it is because the two families hired martial arts masters to fight at night in order to resolve their grudges. There is no escaping the charge of armed fighting.
Besides, a number of people died. Money was originally paid for this matter, and the family members of the deceased were also given housing allowance, which cost thousands of taels of silver. But once it is revealed, it is no longer a private fight between Jianghu and Jianghu, but a murder to pay for life.
"Hey, don't go!" the shopkeeper shouted quickly, but the little girl and the pretty boy didn't look like they were going to stop.
Now the shopkeeper panicked and ran out of the store, running after her: "Girl, girl... little sir, little sir, please don't leave..." Seeing that calling the girl was useless, the gentlemen shouted out.
Finally, Xining caught up with him before he got on the donkey cart. The shopkeeper caught his breath and grabbed the donkey's harness, trying to stop him: "Little sir, no, no, little doctor, don't leave yet."
Xi Ningpi said with a smile: "There are grievances and debtors. Whoever owes me Xuanhumen money will be the one I go to. I won't disturb your business."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately said: "Don't bother me, don't bother me. You are a distinguished guest. Being able to enter the shop will really make the shop shine." After all, you are just a businessman, and you can say nice things easily.
"If I don't go in to buy food, I won't go in." Xining tilted his head slightly and raised an eyebrow: "I still have to go to Li's house. If that doesn't work, I have to rush to the county government office and ask the official to help me find someone. Come early. Report to the officer and find someone as soon as possible.”
Went to the Li family. If the Li family were not stupid, they would have paid the money back and laughed at the Wang family with the IOU. The Wang family originally wanted to save face and could not afford to lose this person.
And when he heard the word "report to the official", the shopkeeper's temples bulged and he gritted his teeth: "We will pay it back!"
The smile on Xi Ning's lips grew thicker: "What makes this happen? It's not the money the Wang family owes me."
He He kept saying that he wanted to go to the Li family first. Could it be that the Li family owed it?
Seeing Xi Ning making a move to get in the car, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he stopped him in front of him, almost in a begging tone: "We'll pay it back, the Wang family will pay it back. Let's go find Sun Dayong, don't bother the little doctor."
"That's pretty much it. Let's go sit in the shop." Xining turned around and went back, saying as he walked: "Let me talk to you about the law. If there is a dead person, according to the law, the person who hired the murderer will be killed, and the person who was hired will be killed. Hanging. If the person is injured but does not die, he will be hanged with a hundred sticks."
Those who died were beheaded by hired men. Even if no one dies but is only injured, the hired man will hang him.
Even if the Wang family spent a lot of money, they still had to find a reasonable scapegoat. Ordinary people can't take the blame for their master, it's either the housekeeper or him.
"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, little doctor." The shopkeeper was sweating like rain, and his back was covered with sweat.
This time, I didn't dare to let the debt collector stand in the store. I respectfully invited him to the back room, which is usually used for business reception. He also asked someone to serve tea, and then went to the backyard to report to Mr. Wang.
Sitting comfortably on the chair, Liu Yulang was really convinced by this little junior sister. Don't look stupid, you do things in a set way. You must have seen your uncle and senior brother do this before, so you copied them.
After a while, the shopkeeper came back, but now his back was straighter and his waist was straighter than before, because he was followed by six shop assistants.
These guys must be the ones who were moving the goods just now. They have big shoulders and round waists. Even the thin ones are lean. Their shirtless bodies are muscular. Each of them is holding a thick pole in his hand.
Liu Yulang frowned and slapped the sword in his hand on the table. No matter how bad his martial arts skills are, he can still beat three or five local gangsters. If you have the ability to call all the servants and servants here, even if I fall into trouble, I will definitely kill a few of them as backup.
As soon as they saw the sword, the guys looked at each other, obviously a little timid. After all, they are just pals. No matter how powerful they are, they may not be the opponents of the martial arts knights.
The shopkeeper sneered: "If you think there are not enough people, there are dozens more in the backyard. Do you want to call them together?"
