On the road from the city gate to the wharf, in addition to the commune's industry, many shops have been opened on the periphery in the past year. The most conspicuous of these shops is the quality warehouse, with six or seven shops near the wharf.

The quality warehouse is also called "推推". It is just a different name in different places. It is actually a pawn business in later generations. The quality warehouse is a typical usury loan, which is loaned based on mortgages, with a short time and high interest rates. The wharf is the core place of Yongcheng's business, and naturally it is a place where quality warehouses are crowded. Especially with the prosperity of the commerce of Yongcheng Commune, these parasitic industries have also flourished rapidly.

Sha Bao and Chai Xin brought the money they raised, left the city gate, and came all the way to the Xiang family quality warehouse near the wharf.

When I entered the door, a servant came up to greet me.

Sha Bao took it out as a ticket and said, "I lent a jade belt here a month ago. Today I have collected enough money and come to redeem it."

The servant saw it as a ticket, said a while and then returned to the back.

In the room behind the quality warehouse, a supervisor listened to the number of the tickets reported by the servant, picked it up from a stack of tickets for a while, and frowned and said, "Strange, why didn't this person use it as a ticket? Could it be that some other supervisors took it as a ticket?"

The servant whispered, "Supervisor, that man said he was a jade belt-"

The supervisor slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, it turns out that he is a jade belt! The day before yesterday, the boss came here to check and saw that the jade belt was not yet availed. He took it back for his own use. Unexpectedly, the master could raise money and come to redeem it. What should I do?"

After saying that, he stood up and walked for a while, and said to the servant, "You go out and let that person have a cup of tea, I'll come later."

The servant took the order out, and the supervisor went to the place where the accounts were piled up, carefully inspecting the records of Sha Bao's arrival that day. After a while, he stood up and breathed, raised his hands behind his back, and walked outside.

Sha Bao and Chai Xin ate a cup of tea, and when they saw the supervisor coming out, they quickly got up to greet them.

After the ceremony, the guest and the host sat down. The supervisor said: "Don't blame me for being negligent. The guest should redeem the jade belt and take it as a ticket for me."

Sha Bao took it out as a ticket and handed it over, saying, "This jade belt is a treasure passed down from the next family. I have raised enough money today and I have to redeem it. The supervisor will be very convenient. Just forget about the interest you want, I will give it together."

The supervisor took the ticket as a ticket, looked at it for a while, put it on the table next to him, shook his head and said, "Oh, what should I do?"

Sha Bao felt nervous and asked hurriedly: "Supervisor, is there anything wrong with this as a ticket? I will keep it with you all the time, so there will be no mistakes!"

Supervisor: "It's not impossible to be a ticket, but the days are wrong. Guest, you have been more than two days-"

Sha Bao said indifferently: "It's only two days. It's clear at that time that it's better than the days, just add more money."

The supervisor shook his head: "That's the store that keeps the goods for you, which is the profit. Unfortunately, your jade belt was noticed by a customer yesterday and bought it at a high price. We opened the quality warehouse, and once we live, the goods will not be sold, otherwise where will the money be around?"

Seeing that the supervisor looked very serious, Sha Bao knew that things were not good, so he changed his color and said sternly: "Supervisor, that jade belt is a treasure passed down by my family. It was made clear that day that the price could be lower, but the jade belt is not allowed to be resold! What do you mean by saying this now?"

The supervisor spread his hands: "Customer, you don't have a personal certificate now. Who knows the truth or false? You are using the ticket as a ticket, and it clearly states that it is January, with black and white words. Now it's more than two days, and the jade belt is the goods in the store, so you can't ask any more."

After saying that, seeing Sha Bao looking unyielding, he stood up and whispered: "Come on, see the guests!"

Seeing that the supervisor was about to go back to the back, Sha Bao suddenly stood up and whispered: "Okay, you're not bullying me! I'm a military general in the prefectural area. This one is the magistrate of this county, so bold!"

The supervisor sneered: "Military General? What! Our family's quality warehouse is a relative of the magistrate Hu of Chuzhou. Now he is the transshipment commander of this route. Not to mention a magistrate, what can even the magistrate do to me? You have passed the date of your vote, and I am not afraid of you when you sue!"

After saying that, he went back to the back, only Sha Bao and Chai Xin were left to look at each other speechlessly. It is common for mortgages in the pledge warehouse to be more than one or two days, and it is nothing more than paying more interest. The pledge warehouse is not immune to disputes. Even if the date is passed, it will leave the collateral for some time. This is extremely rare to sell when it expires and is not in line with the industry rules.

The servant saw Sha Bao and Chai Xin stayed in place and said in embarrassment: "Customer, don't make things difficult for the little one--"

Since the shipwrecking, Sha Bao has suffered countless hardships in the past month. He finally made up enough money. But he didn't expect that this would be the result? He suddenly felt angry and kicked the stool next to him, and it was about to have an attack.

Chai Xin hurriedly grabbed it and said, "Brother, where is this place? How many public inspections are outside, don't do anything nonsense! Let's go back and discuss. If there is a county magistrate who takes charge of it, your jade belt will be collected."

After saying that, he pulled Sha Bao out of the quality warehouse quickly.

Although he comforted Sha Bao, Chai Xin was anxious. The supervisor said that this quality warehouse was a relative of the magistrate of Chuzhou, and he was fearless, but he was afraid that the treasure would not be easily recovered. With the end of the new policy, the imperial court's personnel changes. Wang Su, the Huainan Road Transport Author, recommended by Fan Zhongyan, was urgently transferred to Weizhou, the border area. Before Wang Su left, he transferred Hu Kai, the governor of Wenchuzhou, and asked him to take charge of the transshipment commander and act as his position.

Chai Xin didn't know that Hu Kai was the official transferee of the fortune, so he heard the supervisor say that his backstage was the fortune transferee of the road, so he couldn't help but worry. The fortune transferee was the biggest official along the way. Not to mention Du Zhongxiao, even Xia Shu was not a particularly important thing, and he would not go against him. With such a backstage, the quality warehouse had no choice but to swallow Sha Bao's jade belt.

As Chai Xin took a few steps, Sha Bao gritted his teeth and said, "I urgently needed money that day, so I only used the jade belt for twenty stakes, so I just used it in this quality warehouse. They must have felt that the price was low and didn't want me to redeem it and swallow that treasure. It's hateful, how could I encounter such a bad business!"

Chai Xin had no choice but to comfort Sha Bao. No matter what, he returned to the county and reported to Du Zhongxiao before finding a solution.

At this moment, Du Xun opposite him saw the shop selling various groceries in the commune, turned it out, and exclaimed. Unexpectedly, this shop had all kinds of goods. As long as you purchase goods from here, can you open a shop when you return home? I blamed my son in my heart, why didn’t I tell you about so much money-making business here? Look at other officials like the magistrate, who is not doing business well.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Chai Xin and Sha Bao standing in the middle of the road and asked loudly: "Chai Jie, have you redeem your jade belt?"

Seeing that it was Du Xun, Chai Xin hurriedly pulled Sha Bao to salute him, shook his head and said, "It happened not a coincidence. It was beyond the second day of the current period. It was extremely difficult for the supervisor of the quality warehouse to speak. We were not allowed to redeem it. Alas, this matter is a bit difficult, so I had to find another way."

After hearing this, Du Xun pointed to the dock and smiled: "This is Yongcheng County. The magistrate is my son. You are his close friend. Who dares to act like this in his own place? What's the point of fighting for more than two days? Let's go over and take a look!"

Chai Xin smiled bitterly and said, "The good intentions of the officials, the young people have appreciated it. The quality warehouse of that family is not small, and they are going to go. They only go back to report to the county magistrate Du, and there must be a way to redeem the jade bring."

After hearing this, Chai Xin glared at the sight and said, "Why do you say this? Is there anyone in this county who doesn't give the magistrate face?"
