Chapter 7 A deadly attack with immediate results
  As the saying goes, if you borrow money for an emergency, you will have to pay until you die.

A person can borrow money in times of emergency, but if you are forced to pay for debts, you will starve to death.

However, it must be done by some means. Kneeling down to ask for debt, you will never come back. Only Lu Mou's method of risking his life and forcing the debtor to risk his life can he collect money.

When the execution was being carried out there, Lu Mou stood on the steps and asked loudly to the tied officials in the courtyard: "Is there anyone who doesn't want to suffer the consequences and just pays back the money? If so, write a letter now and ask your family to send the money, and then I will let you go. You will still be your official and just pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, if you become disabled, you are asking for it. No wonder I am the creditor."

An official who was scared to death, because he was new here, just followed the trend and borrowed less than ten thousand taels of silver. I haven’t had time to spend my money at home yet. When I saw that Prince Ding was here for real this time, I knew I couldn't survive it, so I quickly begged loudly: "Your Majesty, spare your life. I will pay it back. I will pay it back now."

Lu Mou smiled and said: "You are a wise man who knows the current affairs. Untie him, let him write a letter home, and send me the money."

One person sets a precedent, and the bottom line of disregarding the law collapses instantly. The sheep effect appeared, and everyone could no longer hold on, and everyone shouted for repayment.

At this time, Qian Tonghe's son, who had witnessed his father's misery, also fell at the feet of Prince Ding and begged: "Please let my father go. I will pay back the money, even if I sell the iron."

Lu Mou laughed and said: "Isn't this right? Why should I suffer this crime and hurt the harmony? Come here, stop forcing Master Qian. Mr. Qian, please go back and get the money. You have to be quick, otherwise I will continue after an hour."

Mr. Qian got up and said, "Give me two hours, I need to borrow some."

In fact, there were more than 160,000 in his cellar, and he was just looking for a way to pretend to be pitiful.

"I'm not unreasonable. Don't worry. I don't care how much money your family has or how you got it. I only want my money."

Although Qian Tonghe was distressed and cried loudly about his son's decision, he cherished his life and did not want to be tortured and strangled to death like his uncle Guo, as Zhu Cijiong just said, and he did not stop him.

Of course, there are some who really can't pay it back, and there are also those who love their money as much as their lives and are really prepared not to pay it back.

The perverted eunuchs under Lu Mou showed their abilities and tortured them to death.

Even though Lu Mou felt sorry for those who really couldn't afford it, he would never let go at this time. Because he knew that as soon as he let go, his debt collection career would be immediately in vain. Press your conscience and continue to push.

Soon, officials one after another brought money.

Mr. Qian also brought in 160,000 taels of silver.

In his previous life, Lu Mou saw this more than 14,000 kilograms of silver, a full six tons, just like a small mountain. At that time, his mouth watered and he cheered.

After Mr. Qian called several times, he came back to his senses: "Your Majesty, can I take my father back?"

Lu Mou beat him down and became as depressed as Qian Tonghe, who was mourning for his concubine. When other officials screamed under the torture, he said amiably: "Master Qian is really an honest man. Go back and recover for a day, and return to the Yamen to work the day after tomorrow. ha."

Qian Tonghe was stunned for a moment, then finally flicked his sleeves, and with the help of his son, he got into the empty money car and went home.

Amidst the screams of his uncle, Lu Mou accepted the money sent one after another, and then looked at the number: "We have three hundred thousand, brothers, you continue. Come and bring a hundred people, carry the money, and we will go back." The palace delivers a message to the father."

Then he walked up to Uncle Guo who was alive and well: "Okay, I have enough emergency money. Your pain has achieved its effect, and I don't want to play with you anymore. Now, I don't want your money, I want to use it." Your surplus value is gone. I will strangle you and then cut off your head to set an example for those who owe me money and refuse to pay it back maliciously." When he said this, he took off Zhou Yinglong's belt and gently kneaded it on him. It was circled around the neck, and then slowly tightened and tightened as Zhou Yinglong shook his head violently.

Zhou Yinglong's face slowly turned red, then blue, then purple.

At this time, Lu Mou's thigh was suddenly hugged by someone, and then Zhou Kui's miserable plea came: "San'er, let your uncle go. I will pay back the money, and I will pay it back immediately."

He lowered his head and saw that Zhou Kui, who had just watched his son being tortured and was gloating about his misfortune, was now in tears.

Lu Mou did not let go, shook his head and sighed: "There are only rebellious sons in the world, but there is no father who does not love his son."

Zhou Kui cried and begged: "For the sake of me paying back the money, and for the sake of an old man who loves and protects his son, please, my lord, don't use him to establish your authority, please spare him."

Lu Mou sighed and said, "What a good fat chicken to scare the monkeys. What a pity. Forget it, just order someone to send the money, and then you can take your son home."

The money arrived in an instant, exactly 310,000.

Watching my grandfather, who was hunched over, carrying Zhou Yinglong, who was sobbing, on his back, he staggered away. Lu Mou couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know whether Zhou Yinglong was crying because of the money, or because he was finally moved by his father's paternal love.

I hope it's the latter. Father's love can make him repent and reconcile father and son.

Knowing that his father Chongzhen was anxious, Lu Mou immediately ordered Zhu Ba to load the collected silver into a cart and follow him into the palace quickly. The remaining eunuchs of Dongchang will continue and will never stop as long as there is one who has not paid back.

Chongzhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in his Qianqing Palace.

It had just been reported that the Datong General Soldier, the last barrier in the capital, had surrendered to the rogue bandits. The army of millions of rogue bandits was pressing towards Beijing step by step. The memorials were flying towards the palace desk like snowflakes in a steady stream.

However, Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Cavalry remained in Yongping and stood still.

And if the British want to publicize Zhizhi, he will lead one hundred thousand forbidden troops out of Beijing to stop it. Although Zhang Zhiji is loyal to the royal family and the Ming Dynasty, the one hundred thousand forbidden troops under him have not been paid any money, food or military pay for three and a half years. Zhang Zhiji simply cannot The command does not move.

The soldiers cried out sadly, we love this Ming Dynasty, but who loves us?

We are willing to be loyal to the emperor, but we are so hungry that we can't even hold a knife or a gun, and we can't even go anywhere to die. What should we do?

Money, money, money, now it is not a penny that stumps a heroic man, but three hundred thousand silver, which completely makes an emperor desperate.

"Go and ask how much money King Ding has raised. Even if it's just a little bit, we'll use it immediately for emergencies."

In fact, when he ordered Wang Chengen like this, he knew that it was just a dream of his. Even the emperor's call for donations has not been realized. For a little kid to be able to realize it, it is simply a dream.
