Chapter 186 Pay off the debt(2/2)
"Taoist Priest, I see you are quite young, why are you so confused!"
"Just lend him the money. After receiving the IOU, if you can hire a lawyer to take care of it, then if you go to the government to get the money back, it's not impossible to get the money back! But you shouldn't, you just shouldn't accept it.
His piece of cloth is used as a mortgage! That piece of coarse cloth is not worth much. After you take it, it will be even harder to get money!"
Everyone, you have a mouth and I have a mouth.
Which ordinary person has never encountered this kind of thing? Regardless of whether he is usually kind-hearted or not, I want to wake him up at this time.
After persuading, Liu Laizi ran back with a piece of cloth in his arms, as if he was afraid that the Taoist would regret it.
"Taoist Master, take it!"
"Thank you."
The seventh brother looked at the piece of cloth and found that it was just a piece of coarse cloth and not valuable, as the people around him said.
However, he had just arrived at Qingyi Temple, and there was nothing in the temple, and the monks could not use any good cloth. This coarse cloth was good for making door curtains, pillowcases, aprons, etc.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.
Senior Brother Seven smiled and said, "Write an IOU."
I immediately borrowed pen and paper, wrote the IOU, and signed and pledged it.
"Where's the money?"
Liu Laizi looked at him with the IOU.
"Wait a minute, let me look for it." The seventh senior brother smiled and walked aside, "How much does a hundred taels of silver, plus interest, cost now?"
"What interest?"
"How can you borrow so much money without interest? How can you do it without interest?"
Just when Liu Laizi was about to retort, he heard the people around him began to scold him again. He was afraid of being scolded and that it would affect his future business. He thought that it was the Taoist priest who paid for it anyway, and he "couldn't afford it" anyway, so he simply said
:
"Then I'll just rewrite it! How about calculating the interest on twenty taels of silver for him?"
"Twenty taels in more than ten years? It's still fifty taels anyway."
"Fifty? Then..."
"If Mr. Liu lends it to me, the interest will not be charged."
"That's what you said! Fifty is fifty!"
"Please rewrite the IOU!"
Liu Laizi then tore up the IOU and wrote another one.
The seventh brother continued to withdraw money.
Everyone saw the Taoist take off a package from the horse's back. The package was bulging, but it looked very light, so he put his hand in and groped around.
He took out an ingot of honeycomb silver for a girdle.
Take out a few broken pieces of silver at once.
After doing this several times, I finally collected one hundred and fifty taels.
"money!"
"IOU!"
"Luo Laosan, where is your IOU?"
The three of them stood together, Liu Laizi gave the IOU to the seventh senior brother, the seventh senior brother gave the money to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man gave the old and yellowed IOU to Liu Laizi.
Liu Laizi tore it up on the spot.
The people around him lamented that this Taoist was ignorant, and some felt that this Taoist had someone to rely on, which made him so confident.
Only Liu Laizi was secretly happy.
Luo Laosan has been pestering him for several years. Although he doesn't want to pay back the money, he still feels annoyed. I didn't expect to meet a kind-hearted stupid Taoist priest today...
I was freed myself.
I couldn't help but look back while walking.
I saw that although Luo Laosan got the money, he was still anxious, following the group of Taoists, and kept saying something.
I'm afraid I'm speaking ill of myself.
But just at this glance, Liu Laizi happened to see the stupid Taoist carrying the package, and put the IOU he gave him into the package with his backhand, but did not put it away.
At the beginning of autumn, it was windy.
When the wind blew, the IOU was blown down.
"Um?"
Liu Laizi's eyes widened, and with quick hands and feet, he immediately ran over and picked up the IOU.
Spread it out and take a look——
Sure enough, it's the one I just wrote.
"Haha! Wonderful!"
Liu Laizi smiled while stroking his palms!
Now I am really happy!
Never thought that extreme joy would lead to sorrow——
It wasn't until he took the mule and cart to the cloth store in the south of the city, and asked shopkeeper Zhang to pay for the goods, that he opened the box and found out that there were originally more than 150 taels of silver in the box.
All of them were gone.
There are only a few taels of silver left.
Liu Laizi immediately panicked, broke out in a cold sweat, and started searching frantically.
But where can I find it?
It wasn't until I touched the IOU I had written in my arms, calculated the amount of money, and found that it matched exactly, that I realized what I was doing.
Liu Laizi suddenly turned pale, as if he had been struck by lightning, and even lost his balance and almost fell to the ground.
After a while, half of the city could hear his crying and cursing.
One morning, people who had watched the debt collection scene where he and Luo Laosan were arguing passed by and heard his cries. They were surprised and confused at first. After listening to a few more words, they gradually came to their senses.
It turns out that Taoist is really good at magic.
This incident spread quickly in Mingxia County.
…
Happy National Day to all the bosses!
By the way, please ask for the double monthly pass at the beginning of the month! This is really important!
Chapter completed!
