Chapter 189 The Debt Collector

"Who? Who are these people?"

"I don't know, but he doesn't look like a good person at first glance."

Everyone started to discuss again, and Jiang Heng sighed deeply, "I knew at first glance that this person was up to no good!"

"Who is Jiang Haiqing? No one dares to answer?" The leading man glanced around the yard and found it a mess. He cast an impatient look at Jiang Youzhen.

He is well-dressed and has a handsome face, looking like a young man from a wealthy family.

Jiang Youzhen also glanced at him and smiled at him, but didn't say anything.

"You... who are you?" The old lady panicked when she saw these people came with bad intentions and called the boss's name.

"Who is Jiang Haiqing to you?" The leading man glanced at the old lady and then said with a cold face.

"He's my eldest son, why are you looking for him?" The old lady swallowed her saliva. These people looked like they were not easy to deal with.

"Since he is your eldest son, it will be easy. Your eldest son borrowed 200 taels of silver from our eldest son. It has been almost ten days, and our eldest son asked me to collect the debt."

"What? Two hundred taels?" The old lady was confused.

"Oh my! How could the eldest son of the Jiang family borrow two hundred taels of silver? Isn't that too much? Why would he borrow so much silver?" Everyone was shocked again. In their opinion, they would never be able to earn two hundred taels of silver in their lifetime.

"Who knows? Two hundred taels. Even if we sell all our property, it's still not worth that much silver."

"Yes! Didn't your boss tell you? Then you know now. Two hundred taels of silver, and the interest for ten days is sixty taels. What do you mean? Do you want to pay the principal and interest together, or pay the interest first? Anyway, your boss wants to borrow money for one month, so it's up to you!"

The leading man took out a dagger from his waist and weighed it in his hand, then traced the long scar at the end of his eyebrow with his right index finger, a grim smile on his face.

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

"What? Sixty taels? Are you trying to rob?" The old lady shuddered with fear. She had never seen so much silver before.

The thugs who followed behind immediately stepped forward, pointed at the old lady and shouted angrily: "Watch your words. How dare you speak like that in front of our second brother? Do you know who our boss is? He is a well-known tiger in town. How dare you deny your debt?"

At this time, Xiao Chen, who had not yet entered the house, was completely dumbfounded. She really didn't expect Jiang Haiqing to be so bold as to borrow money from a loan shark. The loan shark had high interest rates, and he wanted sixty taels of silver in just ten days. How could he dare to do that?

The old lady was immediately frightened by the muscular man in front of her, and her legs went weak.

"Impossible! How could my eldest brother borrow so much money? He never said anything. You must have lied to me. Besides, who would charge such a high interest for borrowing money? Sixty taels for just ten days? Who can afford it?" The old lady is now refusing to admit it. She can't afford to pay it back!

The scarred man in the lead snorted coldly, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

He unfolded it and showed it to everyone, saying, "It's written in black and white, and Jiang Haiqing has signed it himself, and also put his fingerprints on it. Although we lend money at high interest rates, we never wrongly accuse anyone, and we never make things up out of nothing."

"Are there any of you who can read? Come and have a look! Don't worry! I have two copies here, so you won't tear them up."

The scarred man looked at Jiang Youzhen as he spoke. He thought that this boy should be able to read. He looked like a weak scholar, and he was totally out of place in this poor and cramped courtyard. He stood out from the crowd.

"Can you let me take a look?" At this time, the clan leader Jiang Heng stood up. He didn't want Jiang Youzhen to be involved in this dispute.

He had to think carefully about Jiang Haiqing's matter today. Seeing that Jiang Youzhen was a good candidate, he was the most likely to be admitted to the high school.

His biggest wish in this life is to change the Jiang family, so Jiang Youzhen must enter the government, must! Definitely! He will never allow anyone to disrupt it, and he will find a way to deal with those who hold him back.

"It doesn't hurt to show you!" Scarface handed the IOU to the clan leader, who took a look and confirmed that it was correct.

"Sister-in-law, your eldest brother does owe two hundred taels of silver, and the interest is six taels a day." Jiang Heng sighed deeply. Jiang Haiqing was so confused!

"What? How can the interest on borrowing money be so high?" The old lady really couldn't understand. Why would the boss lend money at such a high interest?

"Oh my god! The Jiang family boss actually borrowed two hundred taels? What a sin!"

"Isn't it? I don't know where he got the courage to borrow so much."

Everyone started talking again, and Xiao Chen quickly shrank back, fearing that these people would look at her. Jiang Haiqing was not around, so wouldn't these people ask her to pay back the money?

When she thought of this, Xiao Chen gnashed her teeth in hatred. Jiang Haiqing! You hypocrite.

Not only did he have a mistress and a child, he even borrowed money from a loan shark.

"My daughter, what's going on? How could Haiqing borrow so much money?" However, Xiao Chen wanted to hide, but she couldn't hide from her stupid mother.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's face turned pale and she wanted to cover her mother's mouth with her hands, but the scarred-faced leader had already cast his gaze over.

"Old lady! Do you have money? If not, call your eldest son. Our Tiger Brother's rule is to pay interest every ten days. Everyone knows it. If you can't pay it back, ask your eldest son to pay it back. If you can't pay it back, that person is Jiang Haiqing's wife? Let his wife pay it back."

The old lady was so frightened that she was at a loss for words. "Where do I have the money? I don't have any!"

"Then let your son pay it back? Didn't I tell you? Where is he? Ask him to come out. You have to pay back the money today whether you want to or not."

"My son is not at home! He's gone to take the imperial examination, and won't be back for the next two days!" The old lady now just wanted to get these people away first.

"Imperial examination?" Scarface thought for a moment, "I have always respected scholars and am willing to give them some face. But I remember that the county examination ended today, right? The county town is not far from here, so he should be able to go home today. I heard that he rented a yard in the town. Ah Biao, take two people to the town to guard it, and leave three here!"

If one passes the county exam and the provincial exam, then it is possible for him to become a high school scholar. Their principle of doing things has always been to leave a way out for others so that they can meet again in the future.

But it is impossible to let him go back like this. He must get the money, otherwise who will be afraid of Brother Hu's reputation?

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Chen who was hiding behind the old lady, "We must get the silver today. It is written clearly in black and white. If you can't pay the interest, sixty taels of silver for an arm. But we are reasonable. It doesn't matter whose arm we use. It depends on your choice."

Scarface made a gesture with his dagger as he spoke, and the old lady and Miss Chen turned pale with fear.
