Chapter 104 The monk who begs for alms, the scumbag who collects debts(1/2)

"With a green bamboo snake's mouth and a wasp's tail with needles, the third young lady of Duke Liang's mansion is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Ji Yuan's eyes flickered, passing by the flowery smile, but he felt a bit wary in his heart.

He thinks that he has not yet reached the point where he is as pure and handsome as a god.

It makes no sense that when Yang Ping'er met for the first time, those bright eyes that were like a pool of spring water turned around towards her.

That pretty face of Luo Yuzhen is the lucky one who deserves to be lucky!

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

"Could it be that you want to avenge Yang Xiu? But Luo Sanlang asked me to take action again and again, isn't it just to dispel Yang Xiu's arrogance and disrupt his marriage with Yang Ping'er?"

Ji Yuan didn't understand the reason and decided to stay away from him in the future.

As for Luo and Zhen?

He was passionately devoted to the third young lady of Duke Liang’s mansion.

How can he be persuaded as an outsider?

If you talk too much, you will appear to have bad intentions and become a villain.

After holding Hu Leibao, who had had enough to eat and drink, and had finished having fun, Ji Yuan left gracefully.

Before leaving, he did not forget to leave the matter of buying a house to Luo Yuzhen.

Compared with the black-hearted Yaxing, the rich young master of Tongbao Bank is obviously more reliable.

"Sanlang, your brother Ji is a bit interesting. He is different from the friends we have made in the past."

Yang Ping'er said softly.

"That's natural. Using his own power to stir up the thirty-six martial arts halls in Tianjing, suppress all those generals who have lofty ideals...

Such a character is incomparable to vulgarity!"

Luo Yuzhen did not understand the hidden meaning, nodded and said with a smile:

“My father often taught me that the best and most difficult business in the world is to identify talents and provide financial support.

A young tiger in the mountains, a dragon in the shallows, a huge roc with wings... if you find one of them, you can keep your family fortune intact for fifty years and a hundred years."

Yang Ping'er smiled lightly, looked at Luo Yuzhen lovingly, and praised:

"Mr. Luo's business skills are the best in the world. Even my father often mentions it.

It is said that among the forty-nine central government offices of the imperial court, most of the prefectures and counties have Tongbao Banks.

Even outside Jiubian Pass, many barbarians recognize this sign."

When Luo Yuzhen heard this, his expression froze and he immediately changed the subject.

Shuofeng Pass, one of the Nine Borders, has been undergoing a war recently, so we dare not talk about trade casually.

I heard that there was already a huge quarrel in the East Palace over whether to let King Yan lead troops to help.

Don't know what the outcome will be.





"After all, Luo Sanlang doesn't understand that women will only affect the speed of practice."

After leaving the humble garden, Ji Yuan led his horse and walked.

He frowned slightly, remembering the matter of attracting auspicious gods and evil gods to his fate.

There are Luo Yuzhen, Yang Xiu, and Yang Ping'er.

The destiny of [Martial Arts and Riding the Dragon] condensed from ten destiny numbers, isn’t it worthy of those gods of good fortune and evil to take the initiative to cast their fortunes?

“Which one should invite the auspicious gods first or the evil gods first?

Where can I find a god of good fortune and a god of evil?"

At this time, Ji Yuan had to admit that those talented generals and those with the six true traditions did have the confidence to look down on others.

Hundreds of years, thousands of years of accumulated heritage.

Let them be taught by famous teachers, compete with their peers, and choose their magical skills at their own pace.

Follow the martial arts methods developed by the ancestors and just move forward step by step.

It is much easier to learn from a master than to have no clue like myself.

"Instructor Wei doesn't know much about this. On the Black Dragon Terrace above Beiya, although you can exchange for corresponding martial arts, magical weapons, armor, elixirs and other items if you perform meritorious deeds, there shouldn't be many collections of such ancient books.

From this point of view, there is still some hope for the Qintianjian approach."

Ji Yuan lowered his head and thought, and walked to Changshunfang West Street without knowing it.

"Lin Mansion..."

He was attracted by the noise, shouts and curses. When he looked up, he saw that it was Lin Lu's mansion.

At the foot of the steps at the gate, the outer three floors and the inner three floors were crowded with people.

"These gangsters, when Lin Baihu was still here, how could they dare to be so presumptuous? They blocked the door and insisted on asking for money?"

"In my opinion, he deserves it. How did Lin Lu get his father's thirty butcher shops before he died? How many butchers' families were ruined by force and robbery?"

"Now that the man is gone, the backer is gone, and the wives and concubines are left behind to be bullied by others. The cycle of retribution is not a happy one!"

"What sarcastic words are you talking about? The lady is usually very charitable, who has not received favors from her? It is true that Lin Lu is a villain, but what is his ability to blackmail an orphan and a widowed mother?"

"You are so righteous, why don't you go and reason with those rogues? Save this old monk?"

"..."

The onlookers were talking and making noisy noises, but no one stood up to uphold justice.

"Give way."

Ji Yuan wanted to join in the fun and reached out to pat the shoulder of the person in front of him.

"Where did the dog come from... It's the official of Beiya! I'm blind, I didn't see clearly just now!"

The butcher with a sinister face turned around and was about to curse. When he saw the thick ink-like cloud robe, he quickly swallowed the second half of the words into his throat and put on a flattering smile on his face.

"Now that you understand, can you please move your feet?"

Ji Yuan did not pursue it, but asked softly.

"Okay, okay! Get the hell out of the way. Didn't you see the official from Beiya here?"

The short and stocky butcher not only gave up his seat, but also shouted vigorously as if he was pretending to be intimidating.

The crowd was like a wave being split apart, automatically splitting to both sides.

I saw a group of young men in short jackets and straw sandals, with sharp knives on their waists, shouting loudly:

"Madam of the Lin family, your father-in-law has written in black and white that he owes eight hundred taels of silver to the gambling house, and he wants to pay it off with five butcher shops on Changshunfang East Street. Do you still want to admit it?

Besides, even if there is no man in the house to take charge, there is no need to find an old monk. Can he withstand a punch from me?"

The leader, the young man, had his hair cut short. He had a large patch of leprosy on his head and two scars on his forehead. It looked like he had a bad habit at first glance.

Followed by five or six of the same gangsters, they wore little clothing in the cold weather, but they didn't feel cold. They must have practiced boxing and kicking.

On the steps at the front door was a dignified and simple middle-aged woman. She was trembling with the increasingly excessive filthy words spoken by the ruffians.

At the bottom of the steps, an old monk was sitting cross-legged, holding a broken alms bowl.

"What kind of battle is this? Coming to ask for debts? Which land do you guys belong to? Which gambling house?

Tell me your name and let me know where you are from?"

Ji Yuan stood behind and asked loudly.

"The official of Beiya! This... wasn't Lin Baihu burned to death in Yizhuang? His father who was in Guanxi was a gambler by nature.

Now that my son is gone, I drank to drown my sorrows the day before yesterday, then got into an argument with someone, accidentally stabbed him to death and was arrested and imprisoned. He died in prison yesterday.

Father Lin went to Hexi, but the gambling debt he owed was still unpaid, so the brothers discussed it carefully and simply used five butcher shops to pay it off."

Seeing the cloud eagle robe, the leader of the gangster's eyes flashed with fear, and he came over and said with a smile.

He is smart and well-organized, and turned his door-to-door extortion into legal debt collection.

"Master! Don't listen to their nonsense!

This is obviously blackmail. Two groups of people came in the morning.

Everyone has an IOU, this one owes one thousand taels, that one owes one thousand eight hundred taels, this one owes eight butcher shops, that one owes five!

The money earned by my deceased husband is indeed ill-gotten wealth, but even if it is to be dispersed, it should be returned to the real 'creditors' who have suffered so much. What does it have to do with you scoundrels?"

The lady of the Lin family, with a dignified face and a fierce voice, attracted continuous applause from the onlookers.

"Who doesn't know that the Lin family is a good gambler and good drinker in Guanxi? Even if he lost all 20 or 30 butcher shops, what's the point of doubting him?"

The maniac didn't even look at the eldest lady of the Lin family, and said in a low voice:
To be continued...
