The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 355 355. Debt payment

This was what Feng Jinlin was most confused about, and he suddenly understood.

"The current director of water transportation is Liang Quanbin. Mingyue is not out of his mind, so how can he have contact with the Liang family again!"

Feng Jinyao thought of something when he said this.

Yes, Sister Banxia can predict that the Liang family and the Xu family will never have contact with each other, but how can we be sure that she will deliver the account books to her?

 Sure enough, are you still as determined as you were in your last life, and are you determined to protect yourself?

Feng Jinyao didn't know, but what she was thinking about at the moment was that if she had a chance, she still wanted to meet this Banxia sister.

 Whether it is for the reminder of the past life or the trust in this life.

Jinling City has already begun to deal with corrupt officials, but the other two Zhejiang envoys did not realize the secret.

 He is focused on collecting official grain this year.

 The weather at the end of May is supposed to be sunny and it is getting hotter.

 But the weather this year has been unusually severe, and now I can still wear a cloak.

 Although you don’t have to wear fur collared clothes when going out, you can’t wear light gauze either.

 So many silk and satin shops that have stocked up on yarn materials are in great distress at the moment.

 The Zhu family was also involved in this business, so the shopkeeper was so worried every day that he became a little thin.

The account books are getting uglier day by day, and most of the cash in hand is lost.

In the past, at least thousands of pieces of materials had been ordered at this time, but now the ones that I started to stock up on last year were still lying motionless in the warehouse.

 The farmers who had previously delivered silk and dye according to the agreement did not receive the money that was due long ago, so they were angry and dissatisfied.

After the Chi family instigated the matter behind the scenes, the entrance of the Zhu family's silk and satin shop was filled with farmers who came to collect debts. They all held the shopkeeper and the clerks in the store with their belongings in a menacing manner.

They threatened that if they couldn't get any more money today, they would go in and grab the fabric.

How can it be done?

 What was sent was just some raw materials, but what was to be taken away were all finished fabrics, and they were all fine treasures, to be sent to the eastern capital.

If they really robbed you, what would you do?

The leader, Old Man Zheng, was the more talkative among them. He first cried out in nice words that the Zhu family owed money and that their family had no rice for cooking. The children and the elderly were all starving at home and could not get up. This stirred up the emotions of the onlookers. high places.

"Everyone is here to comment. The Zhu family wants to default on their debts. It was written in black and white. They should have paid ten days ago, but there has been no movement yet. Are they not going to pay? Or are they just bullying us?" A literate fool?"

 When he said something, the people following him would start cheering.

The silk shop was once again surrounded by water. The shopkeeper wanted to send someone to find someone from the Zhu family to deal with the matter, but he couldn't get out.

As soon as you go out, you will be greeted by rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. Who can resist it?

They could only walk around anxiously in the shop, hoping that someone around would see them and call the owner to come to rescue them.

 However, the shopkeeper's failure to show up further intensified the conflict.

 Old man Zheng spoke as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Since the Zhu family doesn't care whether we live or die, then we don't have to be polite. It's going to rain, my mother wants to marry a man, and she has no food in her belly and wants to eat people. Since they can't come up with money, you don't have to be polite. , just grab it, whatever you can grab!"

As he spoke, he swung the **** in his hand and dug into the door panel of the silk and satin shop.

They are all farmers who rely on their strength to make a living, and the door panel was smashed to pieces. The shopkeeper inside was so frightened that he saw Old Man Zheng and others rushing in and starting to grab the cloth, and he was so anxious that he could not move.

"No, everyone, don't listen to Old Man Zheng's nonsense. How can the Zhu family have no money? Please be patient, I will ask the owner to come and settle the bill for you, okay?"

"Bah, how many days have we been waiting? The Zhu family has been saying every day that they have money to come back to settle the bill, but where is the person? Where is the money? Seeing that the harvest in the fields is getting worse day by day, the whole family depends on this little money to live. But you still refuse to give us, aren’t we going to die?”

The speaker was another silk farmer. His family raised many silkworms and sent them to the Zhu family every year. But this year, it was the first time that he had not paid for them.

Originally, he thought it might take three or two days, but unexpectedly he heard the news.

Everyone said that the Zhu family was so wealthy that they didn’t even want to spend money to survive on small farmers. Could something have happened to the Zhu family?

  After all, the confrontation between the Zhu family and Director Liang could not be concealed at that time.

So they were worried that if the Zhu family really fell, their money would be wasted, so they hurriedly came to ask for debts.

As expected, the Zhu family had ulterior motives, and they didn't even dare to see their faces, so they locked the door of the shop tightly, and that was how the scene just happened.

The shopkeeper cried and begged the boss to give him some time, otherwise he could send someone to follow him to find the boss to ask for money.

Old man Pian Zheng took advantage of it, and today he wanted to disturb the peace of the silk shop here, so he stepped forward and started to do it.

"Listen to his nonsense and follow him to Zhu's house. I'm afraid you won't be able to get out once you get in. I'm going to use the cloth to pay off the debt anyway. If you want money, just ask for it."

They are not fools, so they naturally know that the value of this cloth is much more valuable than the silk and cotton they sent.

Of course I have to use this expensive thing to pay for it. Even if it is sold at a low price, it will be worth the harvest of the past few years.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was furious.

If you don't care about talking nonsense with the shopkeeper, you can grab as much as you can, pull out the cheap fabrics, tie up the expensive ones, and leave.

They were all strong men, and they all ran away with the cloth on their backs like a mountain.

The shopkeeper's left side was unable to resist, but his right side was knocked down.

After everyone dispersed, there was only a little bit of tatters left in the silk and satin shop, and even the abacus he usually used had been conveniently taken away.

 There are farmers among them who owe money, but there are also many who are here to take advantage of it.

 “Quick, quick, report this matter to the master!”

 The shopkeeper was helped up by the waiters and staggered outside.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door of Zhu's house, he discovered that it was only one of the silk shops that had been robbed, and shopkeepers from many shops came to ask for help.

On the day when the Zhu family’s son got married, Director Liang’s artillery fire was obvious to all.

What's more, Zhu Hong was so anxious that he wanted to drag everyone to be buried with him that day, which made those who had interacted with the Zhu family in the past feel troubled.

 Then a rumor that had been prepared for a long time began to spread everywhere.

It was said that the Zhu family was going to collapse because they had offended the director of water transportation. For a while, the merchants who had relations with the Zhu family cut off their ties.

 The shopkeepers gathered in front of the door and asked the Zhu family to make the decision for them. At this moment, Zhu Hong, the head of the Zhu family, fell ill.
