Chapter 230 I'm here to collect my debt
After hearing Jiang Si's words, Gan Lin was surprised for a moment, but he quickly covered up this emotion and bowed and walked out.
Fang Congyu worked very quickly and gathered all the shopkeepers in less than a quarter of an hour.
A dozen shopkeepers were standing by waiting. They had already heard that Manager Li had been sent to the authorities.
It is said that the Li family wanted to use money to smooth things over, but the county magistrate, who was always greedy for money, changed his usual behavior and refused to acknowledge anyone.
None of these people dare to say that they have never been greedy for money. How can they not be afraid now?
The rustling sound of Jiang Si flipping papers was particularly loud in the quiet room.
"Meow!"
Next to Jiang Si, the lazy cat that was forced to be woken up from the space to do some work slapped its paw on one of the account books and meowed at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si immediately took the account book under its paw and checked it.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t watch it, but once you do, you’ll be so angry that you’ll laugh.
It seemed like they were really scared that even something like this could get in.
"The pawnshop owner."
Hearing Jiang Si's voice, the pawnshop owner's heart skipped a beat. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, took a step forward and lowered his head.
"Little is here!"
"You remember this account very well!"
Hearing Jiang Si's words, the pawnshop owner breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Si's voice again.
"On the fifth day, Ye Zhanxiong's pottery jar is fifty taels, and on the tenth day, Lord Zhong..."
After listening to what Jiang Si read out, the pawnshop owner dared to look up at Jiang Si.
When he saw the notebook in her hand, his legs went weak and he knelt down.
He is finished, he is finished, why did he take out the private account book.
"You've made a lot of money with these inferior products. You're a traitor, helping outsiders to embezzle our Fan family's money. Tell me, who else is among this group of people?"
After Jiang Si said this, she swept her eyes over the shopkeepers one by one.
"Young Madam, I...ah!"
The pawnshop owner knelt on the ground, thinking about how to beg for mercy, but before he could say half of his words, two flying knives fell and hit his palms, nailing his hands firmly to the ground.
"I don't like nonsense, say something useful."
After saying that, Jiang Si's eyes swept over the other people present, "I'll give you one night to list all the money you have embezzled and taken from outsiders over the years. You only have one chance."
After Jiang Si finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and several servants came up carrying tables, chairs and abacus.
Jiang Si stood up and slapped the account book on the table, looking at them and said, "I hope to see what I want tomorrow morning."
After saying this, Jiang Si and his group walked out.
Looking at the house with only a cat left, the shopkeepers fell to the ground with weak legs.
Some were wiping their sweat, some were swallowing their saliva.
Only Fang Congyu sat down and picked up a pen to write.
When a few shopkeepers saw this, they immediately stood up, sat down and started copying.
"Young Master, why don't you just send them to the authorities?" Gan Lin looked at Jiang Si in confusion and asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"It's convenient for collecting debts. We have to collect the debts before sending them to the authorities!" Jiang Si smiled and said.
"Debt collection?" Everyone looked at her without answering.
Jiang Si didn't explain too much to them, "You will know tomorrow."
Speaking of debt collection, Jiang Si actually remembered an important thing.
She walked forward, took Fan Tong's hand, and said to him, "Come on, come on, come and collect the debt from me."
Fan Tong was puzzled, but he still followed her and said, "You have been traveling for several days, you should have a good rest now, and go tomorrow!"
"No, no, no, we have to collect the debt now. It will be too late if we delay." Jiang Si insisted, and the others had to follow suit.
A moment later, at the entrance of Wanli Escort Agency.
Jiang Si took out the IOU from the space and was about to step forward.
The servant standing at the door of Wanli Escort Agency came forward to greet him.
"Do you have any goods to take away?" Looking at the wealthy appearance of the people in front of him, the servant was very enthusiastic.
"I'm not selling goods. I'm here to collect debts. Where is your escort leader?"
When Jiang Si smiled, the servant was completely stunned.
When had he ever seen such a beautiful woman?
It took me a long time to recover.
"Debt collection?" The servant lowered his head and looked at the IOU handed to him by Jiang Si.
When I saw the big words "170,000 taels of gold" on the IOU, I was completely shocked, not to mention when I saw the name of the debtor.
Seeing that the people in front of him were either rich or noble, the servant did not dare to offend them. He quickly took them into the house and went to inform the steward.
"I heard that you are here to collect debts?"
The manager was an elderly man, even his beard was gray.
Jiang Si said nothing and handed over the IOU in her hand.
The old steward brought the IOU closer and looked at it for a long time before he could read the words clearly.
One hundred and seventy thousand taels of gold, Mao Yixin.
These two words of information surprised him again and again.
"I don't know if you are..."
"The Fan family in Beijing." Gan Lin stepped forward to answer.
These four simple words forced the manager to take them seriously. Today, the affairs of the manager of Fan's Trading Company had spread everywhere, and the people in front of him were most likely telling the truth.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and invite my master."
As the old steward spoke, he walked through the door of the escort agency and trotted into the inner courtyard.
At this moment, in the inner courtyard study, Wanli Escort Agency's escort leader Mao Jian was hugging his concubine and being intimate with her. When he heard the knock on the door, he asked unhappily, "What's the matter?"
"Master, someone is here to collect a debt."
Hearing what the outsider said, Mao Jian spitted, let go of his concubine and cursed, "It's that rebellious son again?"
The young master of the Mao family was born to Mao Jian's concubine. After Mao Yixin disappeared, Mrs. Mao was so angry that she fell ill, and only then did he dare to bring her back.
He's a bastard. He's still very young and indulges in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. It's common for creditors to come to his house to collect debts.
"Master, it's not the young master, it's the eldest lady." The old steward shouted loudly into the house, fearing that the people inside could not hear clearly and would waste their energy.
Hearing this, Mao Jian immediately opened the door and walked out, "Any news about that damn girl? Is she still owing money?"
"Master, the people coming are from the Fan family in Beijing. The eldest daughter..."
"Which Fan family?" The old steward was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Most likely it's the richest family, the Fan family."
As soon as the old steward finished speaking, Mao Jian couldn't stop laughing and immediately began to tidy up his clothes. "Hurry up, this damn girl has been missing for so long, I didn't expect to call back the God of Wealth."
Mao Jian strode towards the front yard, and the old steward followed him breathlessly, "Master, the Fan family is here to collect debts. The young lady owes them 170,000 taels..."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Mao Jian stopped, sighed deeply, and then waved his hand, "It's only 170,000 taels. Our family can still afford it. Spending a little money is nothing. As long as we can climb up the big tree of the Fan family, it will be fine."
Seeing his master like that, the old steward shrank his neck and continued, "Master, what the young lady owes is gold, 170,000 taels of gold."
