Chapter 83

A group of people followed Liu Dong into the house. Liu Dong's wife cried and carried a small wooden box from the room. There were only three hanging copper coins and some loose coins, as well as a stack of Qizi and a few pieces of loose silver of all sizes. It was estimated that there were seven or eight taels. There was no need to count carefully at all. The total amount was less than twenty coins.

"That's all?" When a few people saw it, Ermao couldn't help but curl his lips.

"There's all the money at home. You all... know that I don't like saving money on weekdays..." Liu Dong stammered.

"Pa~" Ermazi slapped Liu Dong in the face, "You are so naughty, you are like a beggar. If you don't have fifty knots today, don't even think about getting out. Go and find what else is valuable at home!"

"Don't hit, don't hit, I...I'll think about it again..."

The so-called heroes do not suffer any loss in front of him. Liu Dong covered his face in horror and nodded vigorously. He looked around for a few glances and then fell on his wife's head. He reached out and pulled down a silver hairpin, and then broke a silver bracelet on his wife's wrist.

"Woooo...you goddamn, this is my dowry..."

At the moment, a group of people were eyeing each other, and the woman did not dare to resist. After watching her hairpin and silver bracelets being taken away, she sat on the ground and burst into tears.

"This silver hairpin and bracelet are worth seven or eight cents of yuan..." Liu Dong carefully placed two pieces of silver jewelry on the table.

Zhao Qi twitched for a few seconds and said, "Liu Dong, you look pretty like a person on weekdays. He has worked in the Lu Family Trading Company for more than ten years. His salary is not low. Why is the family poor and he can't even get fifty knots of money!"

"That... I am used to spending money on weekdays, and I really haven't saved much money. This time I did something wrong and I admit that I was beaten and lost money. But 230 trump card is indeed too... too many. I'll give me some time. I will definitely pay the money I owe. I hope I won't tell you what happened last time, otherwise I won't be able to make it in Yanggong Town in the future!" Liu Dong said with a shameful face.

"Haha, now I know, why did I beg for the ruthlessness to frame us, do you know that if the Second Young Master really asked us to compensate for the 300 stakes, it might force several families to death. People without conscience will be punished by God, so whether you are beaten or compensated, you will be self-inflicted, and no one will sympathize with you for your experience. We don't want this silver hairpin and bracelet. After all, it is your wife's dowry, not your money. Write us an IOU of 200 stakes and pay it back within a month, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!" Zhao Qi said with a sneer.

"Thank you, thank you!" When Zhao Qi heard that he didn't want her silver jewelry, the woman sitting on the ground crying loudly got up, grabbed her hairpin and bracelet and hid in the room and stopped coming out.

"It must be certain, I will pay it back within one month!" Liu Dong also nodded and stood up, went to the study to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He quickly wrote an IOU of 200 yuan in one go, and declared the date of the debt and the repayment date. Finally, he left a name and a fingerprint.

"Hey, Manager Liu's handwriting is very good. It's a bit stable and has the style of Liu Gongquan, but it's a little lacking in power. I have read a lot of books before?"

Zhao Qi took the IOU and saw that each word was neat and clear, and he couldn't help but praise a few words.

"Yes, I passed the scholarship exam at the age of fourteen, but later I failed the provincial examination twice, and my family spent all my money. After my parents passed away, I lost my source of income, so I gave up my studies and worked as a manager at the dock..." Liu Dong covered his face with shame with his sleeves.

"So that's it. Since Manager Liu is a scholar, he must understand the truth..." Zhao Qi slowly blew the IOU dry and handed it to Ermao. "Brother Ermao has it. If you don't receive the money in a month, you will spread the matter of Liu Dong on the dock everywhere. Of course, you can't escape if you get beaten!"

"Don't worry, hehe, I'll urge you once a day!" Ermao stuffed the IOU into his pocket and patted him a few times, making Liu Dong's hair stand up all over his body.

"Okay, that's what you owe money. We're here this time to PY with you... Well, is there a business to talk to Manager Liu?"

"Business...what business?" Liu Dong asked with a confused look on his face.

"Although Manager Liu framed us in the warehouse, we also know that the mastermind behind the scenes is not you, right?"

"Yes, this was originally something that the young lady asked me to do!" Liu Dong nodded quickly.

"Well, do you know what the young lady is doing this?" Zhao Qi continued to ask.

"I probably know a little inside story. The young lady's cousin married the wife of Dawan Village. There were also a group of helpers and porters looking for work on the dock in Dawan Village. So the people in Dawan Village asked the young lady's cousin to drive you away from the Lushi Trading Company and take down the warehouse territory..."

"Do you recognize the pig intestine in Dawan Village?" Zhao Qi asked again.

"Do you know?" Liu Dong's face turned pale for a moment.

"Hmph, we have already found out, but we just checked it today. How much does the pig intestine cost you? How can the young lady promise you to squeeze us out of the warehouse?" Zhao Qi continued.

Liu Dong sighed and said after a moment of silence: "Since you all know, I won't hide it anymore. Besides, I am the only unlucky guy in this matter. The pig intestine wants to get the business of the Lu family warehouse. The young lady asked me to find a way to squeeze out five groups. The pig intestine promised to give me twenty taels of silver after the matter was completed. The young lady also said that if this matter was done, she would transfer me to the restaurant as an accountant, and her monthly salary would increase by 20%. I agreed immediately. Unfortunately, I didn't expect you to repair glass, and then I was also regarded as a abandoned soldier..."

"You must be mentally prepared to be a pawn. Your current fate is entirely your own fault. However, this matter is ultimately because the people in Dawan Village are not authentic and cannot be all dependent on you. Today we are here just to make a deal with you. If the transaction is completed smoothly, I will return the two hundred stale coins to you when the time comes!"

"Really?" Liu Dong made a fuss excitedly.

"Don't worry, let's keep our word. If you don't believe it, we will refund the money in the box of money in front of you as a deposit first, and return it to you after the rest is done!" Zhao Qi nodded and said.

"Okay, what kind of business do you think is the same?" Liu Dong was so excited that he couldn't even sit steadily.
