Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Li Mao had already walked away on the spot without saying a word, leaving only Tang Heng sitting on the ground paralyzed, his expression numb, his eyes glazed over, unable to get up for a long time, but the servants of the mansion did not dare to go forward to help, lest Touched the mold.

At this time, a group of servants from the Panyu County Yamen came uninvited, claiming that someone had sued him to the Yamen. They were ordered by the county magistrate Zhao Ze to "invite" Tang Heng to go to the county government with them.

Tang Heng stood up tremblingly with the support of his servants, and stammered to the yamen servant: "Dare to ask a few brothers, is... who sued me?"

The yamen servant glanced at him, but he didn't hide anything: "It's the shopkeeper Wu of Taoji Bank."

Tang Heng's head buzzed, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted on the spot...

In Panyu County Yamen, Zhao Zeshengtang, the magistrate of the county, settled the case and tried the case against Tang Heng, the proprietor of Tangji Rice Shop, against Wu shopkeeper of Taoji Bank.

Shopkeeper Wu and Tang Heng first knelt down and saluted together, and each reported their names.

Afterwards, shopkeeper Wu calmly took out a contract, raised it above his head and said, "My lord, Mr. Tang borrowed 50 taels of silver from our Taoji Bank with the house deed and land deed as collateral a few days ago. Now Tao Ji Bank asks Mr. Tang to return the 50 taels of principal in advance, and Tao Ji Bank will not charge any interest."

Tang Heng was immediately anxious when he heard the words. Now even if he sold all the grain, he still can't make up the 50 taels of silver. He hurriedly said to shopkeeper Wu: "Treasurer Wu, how can you Taoji bank be like this? I made an agreement with you The repayment period is clearly two months, and it's still early, how can you force me to repay the loan in advance now, it's against the rules."

Zhao Ze frowned, patted the gavel hard, and said sharply: "Quiet, no noise in the courtroom."

Tang Heng was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he hastily apologized to Zhao Ze: "Your magistrate, please forgive me, it's because the grassroots were rude for a while."

Zhao Ze ignored Tang Heng, but ordered the guards to present the contract in the hands of Shopkeeper Wu to his desk. He lowered his head to read it carefully, and couldn't help frowning again: "Treasurer Wu, just as Master Tang said, you agreed in the contract The repayment date is clearly two months, so why do you want Master Tang to pay back the money in advance in less than ten days?"

Shopkeeper Wu shook his head, and explained calmly: "Master Qingtian, the shopkeepers of Caomin and Taoji Rice Shop have always had a close relationship. The several shops in the village bought a large amount of grain, and the total amount was nearly 50, so the grassroots naturally had reason to suspect that the money used by the proprietor Tang to buy the grain was the 50 taels of silver lent by our Taoji bank."

"But since today, the price of grain has plummeted, and now it is less than 50 taels, which means that the 10 shi grains in Tang Dongzhu's hands are only worth 50 taels of silver, which is far from enough to repay the 50 taels of Taoji Bank. Borrowing. Therefore, in order to avoid greater losses, we, Taoji Bank, asked Mr. Tang to return the principal of [-] taels in advance, and we can not charge any interest."

Zhao Ze Fuxu nodded slightly. If this is the case, it is reasonable for Tao Ji Bank to ask Tang Heng to pay back the money in advance.

"Proprietor Tang, what do you say about Shopkeeper Wu's request?"

Tang Heng's expression fluctuated. Now that he is at the end of his rope, he has nowhere to go. Where can he find the 50 taels and return it to Taoji Bank.

"Master County Magistrate, since the contract I signed with Taoji Rice Bank stipulates that the repayment time is two months, everything must be executed according to the contract. After two months, I will divide the principal of 50 yuan and the interest that should be paid. Wen Duo returned it to Tao Ji Bank."

Until now, Tang Heng could only cling to the spirit of the contract.

Zhao Ze turned his gaze to shopkeeper Wu: "Treasurer Wu, can you agree to Master Tang's request?"

"Forgive Caomin for not agreeing!" Shopkeeper Wu shook his head like a wave drum, and refused without hesitation, "Just as Caomin said, he has bought all the 50 taels of silver borrowed by Mr. Tang. Grain, now that the price of food has plummeted, even if Mr. Tang sells all the food in his hand immediately, the money he gets is far from enough to repay the 50 taels owed to Taoji Bank. If we don’t find a way to recover the money now , I’m afraid I’ll lose even more in two months.”

Zhao Ze suddenly became embarrassed.

If it was an ordinary businessman who brought a lawsuit, he, the county magistrate, had the final say on how to judge, and it was their turn to speak.

But the backgrounds of these two families are a bit special. No one in the official circles in Panyu knows that Tang Ji Mi Xing is the property of the Li family in Longxi. Although Li Rui, the former governor, has died in battle, the head of the Li family, Li Rongke, is still the minister of the imperial court. Ling, high position and weight, is definitely not something that a small Panyu county magistrate can provoke.

It's just that the background of the Tao family is even more difficult. The young lady of the Tao family goes out with Qi Wang Xiao Jie every day, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between the two of them. If he offends the Tao family, he offends Xiao Jie. The governor of Jiaozhou is a powerful existence in Jiaozhou. To deal with him is as simple as crushing an ant.

Seeing that Zhao Ze was in a dilemma, shopkeeper Wu also remembered what Xiao Jie sent someone to tell him, took a deep breath, and boldly said: "Master County Magistrate, today we Taoji Bank will definitely recover the owed money, if the county If the yamen can’t make sense here, we will sue the county yamen, and if the county yamen still can’t make sense, we will go to the governor, I believe that the governor is just and strict, and he will definitely decide for us Tao Ji Bank.”

Zhao Ze was secretly annoyed, what kind of person is this Wu, who dared to speak to him in such a tone, but when he heard Xiao Jie mentioned, his body couldn't help but tremble.

He suddenly realized that these people surnamed Wu were just small shopkeepers, and they absolutely didn't have the guts to dare to talk to him like this. Most likely, they dared to be so presumptuous because they were instructed by King Qi Xiaojie.

Forget it, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. No matter how big the Shang Shu Ling is, the existence of the emperor is far away from the sky. He can't do anything to him for a while, but he is an official under the nose of His Royal Highness King Qi. Who should be offended has not been said. And metaphor.

"Snapped--"

Zhao Ze slapped the gavel heavily, looked sharply at Tang Heng, and said loudly: "Tang Heng, it's only natural to pay back debts since ancient times. Since you also admitted that you owe Taoji Bank 50 taels of silver, they demand that you It is also reasonable to return it in advance. The judge is now ruling that you, Tang Heng, must return the 50 taels of silver owed to Taoji Rice Bank before sunset today, otherwise the land deed and house deed you mortgaged to Taoji Bank will be owned by Taoji Bank. .”

Tang Heng's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted. The shops and land on the house deeds and land deeds were bought by Li Rui when he was in office. Which ones are not unique, and the total value is more than a hundred. Ten thousand.

More importantly, those shops and land are actually the property of the Li family. How can he explain to the Li family? How could the Li family let him go.
