Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

The next day, there were knocks on the door of the courtyard at the end of the alley.

There was a family near the door in the yard. A cursing voice came from inside the house. "Who is it? It's so early in the morning. Can't you let me sleep? Stop knocking. Get away. Hey, why are you still not listening? Don't you understand what I'm saying? Don't you understand what I'm saying? Why are you still knocking? Are you knocking for fun!"

The knocking on the door didn't stop. The rough bailiff Liu Feng impatiently put on his bailiff's clothes and opened the gate while cursing, "What are you doing? Are you looking for trouble? Do you know I live here? Do you want to be beaten? Do you want to be beaten?"

When He Ping saw the yamen runner Liu Feng, he smiled flatteringly and said, "Sir, we are not here to cause trouble. We are here to collect debts from Gu Beichen. Please do us a favor and raise your hands. We really are not here to cause trouble. It is our fault for disturbing your rest so early in the morning. I apologize to you." Then he handed over a purse.

Liu Feng took the purse, weighed it, and then walked back. He heard a voice from afar, "Keep your voice down and don't disturb my sleep, or I'll punish you." After that, the voice closed the door.

He Ping then took a few fat thugs and walked to the innermost part of the yard.

Gu Beichen in the room was so frightened that he was shaking all over, muttering in his heart, "These people are not trustworthy. Didn't they give us two days? Why did they come here in just one day?" The knocking on the door continued, and when he saw that they were going to break down the door, he got up and opened it.

The old lady and Lin Rou huddled in the corner in fear, both of them were terribly frightened.

Gu Beichen opened the door and saw He Ping with a flattering look on his face, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you would give me two days' grace? Aren't you here a little early?"

He Ping said with a fake smile, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things. The two days are up, so hand over the money. Otherwise, how can I explain myself when I go back?"

Gu Beichen's face was full of fear. "Please be tolerant for a few days. I will go and capture Gu Beiming. We have no complaints about how you want to deal with him. I won't say anything even if you cut him into pieces."

He Ping smiled and said, "Since he is not here, we can only hold you hostage. Now the principal and interest are 700 taels of silver. If you can't come up with it, I will have to take you away to pay off the debt."

Lin Rou was terribly frightened and cried heartbrokenly, "Brother Beichen, Brother Beichen, I can't leave! I'm carrying your child in my belly! Brother Beichen, save me!"

The old lady pushed Lin Rou and said to Gu Beichen, "Son, don't be soft-hearted. She is the one who doesn't give me food to eat. You should sell her. Sell her."

He Ping looked at Lin Rou with a lewd expression. "She is fair and tender, and her crying voice is also delicate. She is worth a few silver coins, but she alone is not enough."

Gu Beichen's face was full of reluctance. He looked at Lin Rou and said, "Rou'er, I can only let you down. When I make enough money, I will definitely redeem you. Don't be afraid."

Lin Rou burst into tears, heartbroken, and forgot to pretend to be weak. "Gu Beichen, how dare you! I'm your wife! The baby in my belly is yours? How can you be so cruel! Wuuuu, I won't live, I won't live." As she said that, she rushed towards the wooden wall next to her, but was caught by He Ping's thugs, who gagged her and tied her up.

Gu Beichen looked at Lin Rou crying loudly and said distressedly, "Rou'er, wait for me, just a few days, I will definitely redeem you." Then he handed the concubine document to He Ping.

Lin Rou closed her eyes, looked pitiful, and nodded.

He Ping smiled and said, "She alone is not enough! We are still short of several hundred taels of silver. Who are you going to use as collateral? Are you going to sell yourself? You can even sell yourself and work in a small restaurant."

Gu Beichen made a bitter face and took out a white jade pendant from his arms. "This is a token of love given to me by the county lady. Take this as a pledge, take this as a pledge."

He Ping took it, looked at the quality of the white jade, and smiled contemptuously, "Don't pull the county lady, this inferior thing, how could it be given to you by the county lady, these balls of cotton, do you think I can't see it! This is worth at most one hundred taels of silver. How are you going to pay the rest?"

Gu Beichen lowered his head and remained silent. He searched his body again and again, but failed to take out anything.

The old lady looked at him disappointedly, trembling, and took out a golden hairpin from her bosom, handed it to He Ping distressedly, and said, "Use this as a compensation, this is pure gold."

When Gu Beichen saw this, he was hesitant to speak. A little hope arose in his heart. What if He Ping didn’t know him?

He Ping took it with a smile, but his face immediately fell, "What's the matter? Do you think I, He Ping, am easy to bully? You want to fool me with a gilded silver hairpin? Who gave you the courage? You even dare to fool me. Do you want to live?" After he finished speaking, he got so angry that veins popped out and kicked Gu Beichen directly in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.

Gu Beichen endured the pain and said, "You are a magnanimous person. My mother was confused. This was left by my father, and she thought it was pure gold. Please don't be angry. Don't be upset."

When the old lady heard this, she was so angry that she fell backwards. "How is it possible? How is it possible? It's impossible. How can it be fake?"

Gu Beichen had no choice but to hold his mother and said, "Mom, don't talk." As he spoke, he was about to cover his mouth.

When He Ping saw the old lady, he raised his lips slightly and said, "It's still a long way to go. How can I pay back the rest?"

Gu Beichen looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He sat on the ground in despair and said, "Take whatever you like. All the valuables in the house have been taken away."

He Ping smiled and nodded. He waved his hand and several thugs started to search the house. They took away everything useful in the house and then dragged Lin Rou out.

Gu Beichen watched them leave, and when he got up and searched the house, he found that there were only a few broken chairs left. Even the coarse grains and eggs in the house had been taken away. There was really nothing left.

The old lady squatted on the ground crying heartbrokenly. Gu Beichen took out a few copper coins from his arms and handed them to her mother, saying, "Mom, go buy some coarse grains. I'll find a way to get the rest." After saying that, he looked depressed and followed He Ping and his group of people.

Seeing Lin Rou being pushed by He Ping into Cuixiang Tower, she couldn't bear the depression in her heart and burst into tears, "Lin Rou, wait for me, I will definitely save you, wait for me, I will definitely save you." After that, she pounded the pillar fiercely, stared at Cuixiang Tower viciously, and left for a long time.

Liu Yanyan, who was sitting in the carriage in the distance, looked at Gu Beichen with disdain and couldn't help muttering to herself, "That's it? He sold his beloved concubine because he couldn't pay the money? I thought they were so loving, but I'm really surprised. I thought Gu Beichen was so strong-willed! Isn't it true love? He was defeated by a few hundred taels of silver."

"It's true that their love is stronger than gold! I'm so envious! So jealous! How does it feel for Lin Rou to be sent to a brothel by her beloved brother Beichen? It must be uncomfortable. You should enjoy the love that your brother Beichen has for you."

Liu Yanyan watched Gu Beichen walk away before patting the carriage, signaling Liu Wu to leave.

Only then did Liu Wu pat his horse and walked forward.
