Chapter 249 A bad debt

"This is nothing to read the full text!" Mr. Lian and Lian Shouren hurriedly denied it.

"If you run away, the monk cannot run away from the temple. My scholar's husband, even the old man, we have given you enough face. What do you think about this matter?" said an official.

Lian Man'er was very annoyed. She didn't believe that it was Mr. Lian who sent a message to Lian Shouyi to run away. She thought that it must be Lian Shouyi who knew something was wrong with the wine. He was afraid of being responsible, so he ran away.

There will be such a big difference between a mother and a compatriot. Lian Shouxin, who has already separated, heard that something happened at home, immediately put down the building of the house and ran back. When they heard the message, Lian Shouli hurriedly responded to the call of the old man Lian, but the person involved, Lian Shouyi, had oiled his feet and escaped?

Lian Shouyi is too smart? Lian Shouxin and Lian Shouli are too stupid?

At this moment, Lian Man'er deeply realized the importance of responsibility. Generally speaking, it is mostly the eldest son in the family or the son who is ranked first, so he has a higher sense of responsibility because he is placed in high hopes, but this is not absolute. In particular, the Lian family, the eldest son Lian Shouren and the second son Lian Shouyi are both very "smart" people, but they do not seem to have much responsibility for the Lian family. Instead, Lian Shouxin, the last one, is full of responsibility.

Lian Man'er once thought about the factors that caused this situation. She felt that this was related to the changes in the Lian family's family's family. At that time, Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi, the Lian family was at the richest time. At that time, even the old man was young and could support a vast sky for his wife and children. But when Lian Shouli and Lian Shouxin were both different, the family's family was not as good as before. Even the old man was older, but the burden was heavier. He needed his son and him to support the family business.

Do poor children become home early? Does the environment shape their personalities?

Lian Man'er moved on the bench, and at the same time pulled her thoughts from this complex philosophical issue to the practical problems that are urgently needed to be solved.

Everyone looked at Mr. Lian. As the official said, the monk could not run away from the temple. Lian Shouyi ran away, and the Lian family was still there. How to handle this matter depends on what the head of Mr. Lian, the family said.

Old Master Lian was smoking a dry tobacco. He needed to use this to calm down his mood and think carefully about how to clean up Lian Shouyi’s mess.

The people from the Xu family and the official officer came to him. He told them that the wine had nothing to do with the Lian family. But the people from the Xu family made it clear that there were two people who sold them wine, one was He Laoliu and the other was Lian Shouyi. He Laoliu even pushed the blame to Lian Shouyi, saying that he was just helping to run errands.

Mr. Lian asked Silang to call Lian Shouyi back because he wanted Lian Shouyi to confront He Laoliu. As for Lian Shouyi's profit from He Laoliu's wine, he was willing to return the thirty taels of silver that Lian Shouyi had handed to Zhou's hand.

However, Lian Shouyi was scared away and no one came to confront He Laoliu. He Laoliu was a second-rate person, even more than He's. His family's money was defeated by him, and he insisted that the Lian family was the main culprit. Lian's family had a house and land, and the family was with their families, and the situation became very unfavorable.

Old Master Lian felt that his throat was a little fishy, ​​so he had to smoke hard.

"... Everyone says the wine from the Lian family, which means the wine from my fourth son who split up the family. The wine they made was sold to the Shen family in Fucheng." Old Master Lian put down his tobacco pipe and finally spoke. "The Shen family in Fucheng is the mother's home of Queen Shen, and now the one who has a temple built on the mountain."

Speaking of the Shen family, neither the official nor the Xu family said anything. Even the old man had said these words just now. It was because of this that Lian Shouren was a scholar, so they locked people with chains as soon as they entered the door.

"The fourth brother, are the wine you brewed not only to sell to the Shen family, but also to others?" Mr. Lian deliberately asked Lian Shouxin.

"No." Lian Shouxin hurriedly said.

"The wine brewed by his He family is from his He family, and it is not the business of our Lian family." Mr. Lian said, "You guys bought wine from his family, have you bought it from his family? Have you never seen me, the old man?"

"Old man, you have said this several times. We bought wine at He Laoliu's house. At that time, it was not only He Laoliu who sold wine. Your second son Lian Shouyi said that the wine was brewed by him. He also told us that even the wine from the home brewed wine was rushing to buy it. His wine was the wine from the Lian family." The manager of the Xu family said, "He Laoliu, are you saying I was telling a lie?"

"It's true." He Laoliu squatted on the ground, revealing half of his face, and said with a flattering smile, "The wine sold to Mr. Xu is brewed by my brother-in-law, and I'm just an errand runner."

"Old man, listen, you can't push it off this time, right?" said an official.

Old Master Lian was stuffy in his chest. He knew that Lian Shouyi was not there and he couldn't tell him clearly about the relationship with He Laoliu. Even if he had a clear explanation, the final result was still similar.

"Let's do this. Our boss is kind to make money, so he will give you a face. He will pay off our lost wallet. Otherwise, let us take the people away, and when will we pay the money and when will we put them back for you."

In their opinion, the Xu family took a step back. They came here to inquire because they heard that the Shen family bought wine from the Lian family in Sanshiliyingzi. Of course, they also found out that He Laoliu's wine was not authentic, but was a method of making wine secretly from the Lian family. However, because He Laoliu was Lian Shouyi's brother-in-law, Lian Shouyi and Lian Shouxin, who made wine, were brothers. They thought that He Laoliu's wine was worth buying, so they bought all the wine from He Laoliu's family at a price of one or five cents of silver per catty.

They thought they had made a profit. At the beginning, the wine was sold well, so they didn't rush to sell it, and wanted to sell it at a better price. Unexpectedly, they moved out a jar two days ago to sell it, but they found that the wine had changed its quality and could not be drunk.

Of course they would not suffer this loss, so they found two familiar constables from the county government to arrest Lian Shouyi and He Laoliu.

Lian Man'er was relieved when she heard that she had to pay for money. In fact, she had expected such a result, that is, to arrest people, and the ultimate goal was to make money.

The Lian family is not without connections, so the constables will not be unclear. No one goes to their breakfast shop to catch Qiufeng, which shows this.

It is natural to lose money if you sell something that is not of quality.

The question is, how much money will be paid.

"... At the beginning, I spent 50 cents of silver per pound and bought 900 pounds. In addition, the reputational losses caused by this fake wine to our shop are not much. We only need 20% of this. You will be responsible for a total of 162 taels of silver. We will not pursue this matter." The manager of the Xu family said.

Lian Man'er sat next to her and didn't say anything. When she first came, she was very angry. Now that her anger was getting calm, she began to calm down. This matter involved Lian Shouyi and He Laoliu, and there were many troubles. If she had made a move, she would take responsibility and trouble on her own. This was obviously not wise. She just needed to protect her own interests when necessary.

One hundred and sixty-two taels, this is a big talk from the lion. Mr. Lian felt a little blurred in front of him. But the manager of the Xu family said that selling fake wine is a big or small crime. People are the slaughter and I am the fish and meat. I have to pay as much as I want. Mr. Lian, who has been the shopkeeper for many years, knows this truth very well.

"Okay." Old Master Lian nodded, "My second son took home thirty taels, so we will pay according to this package. We will pay for forty taels. For the rest, please ask He Laoliu for the rest."

"What?" He Laoliu almost jumped up from the ground, "Old man, I won't take you like this. I got 135 taels of wine, but my brother-in-law took a big head. He said that the method of making wine was from your Lian family. He took 80 taels and gave me fifty-five taels, and the jar money and other things were all paid by me..."

Lian Shouxin stamped her feet in anger. Lian Man'er touched her forehead and said nothing. She had a headache. If she hadn't decided that Lian Shouxin would not agree, she would have wanted to pull Lian Shouxin away immediately.

"Old man, we don't care how you share the money. I will take away all the 162 taels of silver today. Otherwise, He Laoliu must be going to jail, and you have to follow us, Mr. Xu." The manager of the Xu family said.

"I lost all my money, and my family only had two broken houses, and five taels of silver were not worth it." He Laoliu said. He said this when he was caught. At that time, he also said, "I have one for money to ask for it, but I have a life." This is why these people went straight to the Lian family when they came and did not go to the He family at all.

"Old man, who should have more than you should be? You can argue with it yourself in the future. We are impatient to listen to that. There is no way. You have to pay for this money first." A constable smiled.

He Laoliu's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, so he can only squeeze into the house.

Even the old man knew that he had to take the more than 100 taels of silver today, and he had to take it even if he didn't. But he didn't get so much money, it took his life.

Old man Lian sat on the kang and his body began to shake.

"Dad, dad, what are you doing?" Lian Shouren sat next to Mr. Lian, hurriedly supported Mr. Lian, turned his head and shouted to Lian Shouxin, "Fourth, look at how anxious your dad is, why don't you say something quickly."

At this time, what did Lian Shouxin say?

"Uncle, this is how you are the elder brother. When something happens, you will push the brothers without saying a useful word. What are the books you read to teach you how to do things like this?" Lian Man'er said to Lian Shouren bluntly, "Uncle, what do you want my father to say, please tell me yourself."

"If you want to use money, you only have it."

"We have no money, not a penny."

"Then sell..."

"Okay, start selling from yours..."
