Bailey gasped and said loudly: "Several village owners came to collect debts!"

"Where's the silver I asked you to transport?!"

"I'm marching into the city first! The chief steward is leading a dozen carts of silver behind. I guess we'll be arriving at the Liu Mansion soon!"

Liu Yuanhui quickly mounted his horse and said to Qin Hui behind him: "I have an urgent matter at home! I'll leave it to you here. Remember to do it as I ask! Let's start transporting Gao Qiu's stolen money now! Remember Take the side door of my house!"

Qin Hui replied respectfully: "I obey your orders! Lord Liu, just go ahead!"

Liu Yuanhui and Bailey immediately rode away.

In the courtyard, Qin Hui's expression suddenly turned cold.

Turning around, he said to one of his subordinates' confidants: "We will soon capture all the servants and maids in this house and sell them to the houses of high-ranking officials in Bianliang. Gao Qiu's young concubine is quite pretty! Take him to custody first. After dark, send them all to a prostitute, don’t lower the price!"

"I understand! Master Qin! Do you still want to divide the money?"

"Idiot! Why would I, Qin Hui, do something like that to extort money from nature! Pay An family allowance? What a joke! This kid Liu Yuanhui is still too young!"

……

At this time, a pot had exploded in front of the Liu Mansion.

A dozen middle-aged people in rich clothes gathered around the door of Liu Mansion and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper Liu! The second young master borrowed five thousand taels of silver from my family! Why haven't you returned it yet?! The family is almost in trouble!"

"You have always been honest and trustworthy in your business, who in Bianliang City doesn't know that!?"

"The Liu family's business is so big! Why do you still borrow all this small money and not pay it back?"

"When I borrowed it, I said it would be very profitable for us! The total with principal and interest is 110,000 taels!"

"Pay back the money! Pay back the money! Pay back the money!"

"..."

Liu Shimian, who had been quiet at home for a long time, had never seen such a battle.

I have been in business for many years, when have I ever had a debt collected?

What's more important is that you have been honest and trustworthy in your business life. When have you ever broken your promise?

Liu Shimian was surrounded by people in front of the door with a red face. He was a little flustered for a moment, and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Bosses, please be patient, the dog will be back soon! I will give you an explanation then!"

Liu Shimian's voice almost broke when he yelled, but his voice was drowned out by a group of creditors and had no effect at all.

The eldest lady Liu Wu couldn't help wiping her tears at the side: "Master, I heard that Yuan Hui not only spent all the family's savings, but also sold all the family's fields and tile houses outside the city! Now he is here again We borrowed tens of millions of taels of silver from outside, how will the two of us survive in the future! Uuuuuuuuuuu!"

Liu's father, who was already in a panic, became even more confused when Mrs. Liu Wu cried like this, and said, "Oh! What do you know, a woman? Stop talking nonsense and go back to your room!"

Mrs. Liu Wu wiped her tears and continued to cry: "Go back to the house, I think this house will be sold by your precious second son soon! How can he afford to pay off such a large debt! He must be He abandoned his family and career and ran away!"

"Yuanhui is not that kind of person!"

"Master, I think you are just blinded! Now that there are so many debtors stuck here and he still hasn't shown up, isn't it obvious that he is that kind of person?! It's because you insisted on handing over the family property to him in the first place! This Come back, Yuanji has been sent to the frontier fortress by you! Oh, my Yuanji, mother, my life is miserable! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

"Stop crying! This is a joke! Yuanji broke the national law, and he deserves to be exiled to the army. Am I, a father, willing to let him be exiled to the army?!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuori occasionally confused, but he will never bring the family into this state...Yes, sir, you have connections in the court, please clear the way and bring Yuanji back..."

"Auntie, don't waste your energy. The banishment of the army is a foregone conclusion. Even a high-ranking minister cannot change the laws of the Song Dynasty!" Liu Yuanhui said loudly while riding on his horse.

Seeing Liu Yuanhui back, Liu's father immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Wu on the side was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly fanned the flames of the crowd: "Hey! Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner! The person who owes you money is back!"

After listening to the debt collection, everyone gathered around Liu Yuanhui, stretched out their hands and shouted: "Liu Yuanhui! Pay back the money quickly! Not even a penny of the principal and interest should be lost!"

"Shh..."

Liu Yuanhui looked at everyone, put his fingers between his lips, and took out a huge pearl the size of an egg from his arms with his other hand.

This rare treasure shocked everyone present. The debt collectors stopped making noise and stared at the pearl in front of them with wide eyes.

Liu Yuanhui put the pearl in his palm, slowly passed it in front of everyone's eyes, and said: "This pearl is worth no less than three million taels, who of you wants to take it?"

As soon as the words fell, the debt collectors began to rush forward.

"Give it to me first!"

"I came here first! Give it to me!"

"You owe me the most money, so I'll take it first!"

"..."

The crowd quarreled at first and then started pushing each other.

Liu Yuanhui shouted: "Okay! Since everyone can't argue, I can't make a decision for the moment! Why not...first come, first served!"

Liu Yuanhui said and threw the pearl far away.

The pearl fell into a pool of smelly water.

The debt collectors dispersed in a hurry, running away like dogs picking up bones, and then all plunged into the smelly pool.

Then there was a scramble, and soon everyone started fighting...

Liu Yuanhui looked at the crowd not far away who were losing face for a pearl. After yawning, he and Bailey dismounted and came to the gate of Liu Mansion.

"My son's late arrival has frightened my father!" Liu Yuanhui said as he knelt in front of Liu's father.

Father Liu stepped forward to help Liu Yuanhui up, looked him up and down and said, "Son! You are finally back. I heard that you led the troops to defeat the Fangla rebels! My father is so proud of you! How are you? Are you injured?" "

Liu Yuanhui patted his chest and said, "Unscathed! You're fine!"

Father Liu smiled broadly, stroking his beard and said, "Hahahaha! That's good! That's good!"

On the side, Ms. Liu Wu frowned and said, "What's so good?! Your family fortune has been ruined. Do you really think that one pearl can offset all your debts?"

Liu Fu persuaded: "Can you just say a few words less?"

Liu Wushi kept chattering: "Master! What did I say wrong!?"

While talking, the debt collectors who had not grabbed the pearls gathered around again.

The originally well-dressed people were now in a mess, their clothes had been torn, and their hats and turbans were missing.

Everyone's hair was disheveled and their bodies stank.

Someone in the crowd started shouting:

"Liu Yuanhui! There is only one pearl! It has been snatched away! How are you going to pay back the money of the rest of us?"

Liu Yuanhui pinched his nose and stepped back: "Everyone, please be patient, I will definitely pay back the money. Please step back!!"

As soon as Liu Yuanhui finished speaking, everyone took another step forward.

"I'm telling you, don't try to trick us!"

"Yes, can you get so much money at once?!"

"Don't even think about defaulting on your debt. If you don't get the money, you'll die!"

Everyone criticized Liu Yuanhui one after another. Liu Wu held her nose and mocked: "In a moment, will you be able to get money in a moment? What's the matter, is it possible that you can still earn money when you go out to fight? Humph! What a joke!"

After Liu Wu's incitement, everyone who was already a little angry rolled up their sleeves and gathered around.

"That's right! Where do you get the money when you go out to fight!? I think you are asking for a fight!"

Just as everyone was about to rush forward, a voice came from not far away - "Whoa, ah, ah, ah! Let's see who dares to move!? If you want to hurt my Brother Liu, you must first get past the ax in your Grandpa Hei's hand!"
