Even the red-robed soldiers of the Chu family looked sideways at him. This uncle of his was really a bit shameless.
Mei Chaofeng said angrily: "How can anyone charge interest as soon as they borrow money? It will have to wait until at least a year later!"
The anger value from Mei Chaofeng is +200!
"Ah, no?" Zu An looked around, as if he was not familiar with the rules here.
Chu Chuyan had the urge to touch his forehead with his hand. How could he choose such a rogue guy? "Generally, interest is charged after one year, but Gang Leader Mei's subordinates usually follow the rules for daily lending." According to the principle of "nine departures and thirteen returns," it makes sense to receive 750,000 taels in advance."
The so-called "nine outs and thirteen returns" means that in the name of loan sharks, they lend you 10 yuan, with an interest of 1 yuan per month, but in fact they only give you 9 yuan, and you have to return 13 yuan after three months. Therefore, many people in the world are often subjected to loan sharks. Ruined everything.
Compared with the Meihua Gang who usually collects one penny of profit every month, now they only collect one penny of profit a year, which is already quite lenient. If the amount of 7.5 million taels hadn't been too large, she wouldn't have agreed to such a repayment. Way.
Of course, she could also see that Mei Chaofeng was trying to renege on the debt. After all, she couldn't get out the 7.5 million taels even if she sold the entire Meihua Gang, so she could take whatever she could now to avoid long nights and nightmares.
Mei Chaofeng gritted his teeth. He knew that he might not be able to cope without some blood today, so he waved his hand to his subordinates: "Come here, get a hundred thousand taels of silver notes!"
Then he said to Chu Chuyan: "I hope Miss Chu can forgive me. We don't have that much cash in a hurry. Now we will take out one hundred thousand taels to show our sincerity, and we will pay back the remaining interest at the end of the year. What do you think of Miss Chu?" "
He didn't ask Zu An at all this time. Who knows what the rogue might have done? Anyway, Chu Chuyan was the one who really called the shots here.
Chu Chuyan hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. One hundred thousand taels was almost the maximum amount they could come up with in a hurry. It was not good to push too hard.
The henchmen of the Plum Blossom Gang took the banknotes. Mei Chaofeng originally wanted to give them to Chu Chuyan, but after thinking about it, he immediately gave them to Zu An instead: "Master, do you want some?"
After all, it would be difficult to get the money back in Chu Chuyan's hands, but in Zu An's hands, humph, there is always a way to make this brat spit it out.
"Yes, of course." Zu An took the banknotes, dipped his fingertips in saliva, and then counted them one by one. There were 1,000 banknotes worth one hundred taels each.
Mei Chaofeng took a breath, thinking that I was just saying it politely, how could anyone really count money in front of people?
The anger value from Mei Chaofeng is +111!
Seeing Zu An counting money like a charm, Sang Qian frowned and wondered how the fairy-like Miss Chu found such an unattractive guy as her husband. He was really like a flower stuck in cow dung. How am I not hundreds of times better than him?
There were many people around who thought this way, and even many warriors of the Chu family felt the same way, and together they contributed another wave of anger points.
"Hey, why is there one missing card?" At this moment, Zu An suddenly shouted, drawing everyone's attention to him.
Mei Chaofeng's face turned dark: "How is it possible? There are so many eyes staring at it, how can there be so few!"
Feeling everyone's gaze, Zu An shrugged: "I just said it casually to see if you lied to me."
Mei Chaofeng: "..."
Are you here to deceive me emotionally?
The anger value from Mei Chaofeng is +211!
Sang Qian on the side finally couldn't stand the farce anymore: "Okay, okay, now that the problem has been successfully resolved, let's all go our separate ways."
He didn't want to stay here anymore. Watching a useless loser jumping up and down and taking advantage of others' power, but he couldn't do anything. It felt so irritating.
Pang Chun also laughed cheerfully: "That's right, that's good. As long as the matter is resolved, let's disperse. Let's disperse."
His heart was in his throat just now. If there was a conflict between the Chu family's army and the river defense camp here, or if the Meihua Gang was defeated, it would be a huge disaster if he accidentally caused it. He, the county lieutenant, would also be in trouble. Can't keep it.
The two big guys in the field spoke, and the gamblers who had been watching the excitement ran out one after another as if they had been granted amnesty. Who knows if they would be harmed if they stayed here.
Xie Xiu waved to Zu An: "Brother Zu impressed me with admiration today. I will treat you to a drink another day. I need to ask you for advice on many things."
Zu An also smiled happily: "I also want to ask Brother Xie a lot of things, such as how to be cool and unrestrained while lingering among the flowers without letting any leaves touch you."
"Let's talk about it~" Noticing Chu Chuyan's gloomy expression beside him, Xie Xiu smiled and thought to himself, you are so awesome that you actually said this in front of your wife.
He was worried that he would suffer an unexpected disaster, so he just said a few words and ran away.
Seeing everyone running out, Zu An was a little unsatisfied. He still hadn't earned enough anger points, so he turned back and looked at Mei Chaofeng: "Mei Gang Leader, will your gambling house be able to open in the future? Can I still do it?" Come to gamble?"
Mei Chaofeng: "..."
If you fucking dare to come here, I will tear your skin off!
The anger value from Mei Chaofeng is +267!
Chu Chuyan couldn't stand it anymore: "Let's go." Even though she had always been cold-tempered, she couldn't stand the tricks the other party would make from time to time.
Yue Shan came over directly and helped Zu An out. It was obvious that he had served the Chu family for so many years and was used to all kinds of aristocratic etiquette, so he really couldn't stand his naughty and rogue behavior.
Mei Chaofeng stared at their departing figures with gloomy eyes and clenched his fists.
"Gang leader, do we really want to repay that guy 7.5 million taels?" An indifferent subordinate came over to express his worries.
"Give it back to your mother!" Mei Chaofeng slapped him to the ground and he couldn't get up.
With a gloomy look on his face, he ran back to the room specially prepared for him in the gambling house, where a charming figure was already waiting.
"Miss Qiao, you asked me to write down this huge IOU, how are you going to deal with the aftermath?" Mei Chaofeng closed the door, her tone already quite unkind.
"It's not like you didn't know the situation at that time. How could you have passed so smoothly without writing it?" That girl was naturally Xue'er. Seeing the flesh on Mei Chaofeng's face shaking, she comforted her, "Don't worry, the IOU is here." It’s easy to get it out of Zu An’s useless hands.”
Mei Chaofeng frowned: "I'm afraid he will give the IOU to the Chu family."
Xue'er shook her head: "Don't worry, Chu Chuyan has always been aloof, and he will definitely not take Zu An's money; and Chu Zhongtian is an upright person, and the Chu family strictly prohibits gambling, so he will not ask for this gambling debt, saying When I get up and go back this time, not only will Zu An not receive praise, but he will be severely punished by the Chu family, after all, he has committed a crime that is strictly prohibited by the Chu family."
"No matter how severe the punishment is, it's just a family law. Is it possible that they will still drive Zu An out of the Chu family?" Mei Chaofeng said angrily.
Xueer sighed: "Although 7.5 million taels is a lot, it is not unacceptable if it can successfully get Zu An kicked out of the Chu family."
Mei Chaofeng: "..."
He was speechless for a while, thinking that it's not your money, so you don't feel bad, right? You little bitch, do you know what 7.5 million taels is? You don't know how much you can hire a killer, and it's not even impossible to get rid of the head of the Chu family directly. , is it necessary to spend so much money to deal with a mere loser?
Fortunately, Xue'er's next words calmed him down: "Don't worry, I will personally take action tonight. Not only will I help you get the IOU back, but I will also kill that brat and completely eliminate any future troubles."
Mei Chaofeng couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Miss Qiao." In fact, with his cultivation, it was easier to kill Zu An than to crush an ant, but Zu An was either in the city lord's mansion or the Chu family, so he couldn't do it at all. , now Xueer takes action from within the Chu family, and it is much easier for her to deal with Zu An than for herself.
At this time, in the Zheng family, not far from the Silver Hook Gambling House, a beautiful woman in palace attire was making tea. Her fair and translucent beautiful face and soft profile lines seemed to be outlined in a stroke. Her entire expression was extremely focused, as clear as a clear spring on a stone. Her eyes and skin as white as jade are really bright and beautiful.
"Mr. Sang, what's going on? You look so angry." The beautiful woman served a cup of tea to the man opposite. The whole process was extremely elegant, and her movements were of classic beauty.
The man opposite her was surprisingly Sang Qian, who had just come out of Silver Hook Casino.
"Miss Zheng's tea-making skills are really impressive." Sensing the other party's quiet and gentle temperament, Sang Qian felt that his anxious mood had calmed down a bit.
The beautiful woman smiled slightly: "After we get married, I can make it for you to drink every day."
It turns out that this beautiful woman is one of the four wealthy families in Mingyue City, Zheng Dan, the rich daughter of the Zheng family. The Zheng family has made a marriage contract with the Sang family, and she is now Sang Qian's fiancée.
Although it was not the first time he saw it, Sang Qian still had a flash of surprise in his eyes. He was quite reluctant when he first heard that his father asked him to marry the daughter of a merchant from Mingyue City. For this reason, he often talked to his father. They quarreled, but after meeting Zheng Dan, all his resistance and hesitation disappeared, because this merchant's daughter he looked down on was so beautiful, and marrying such a woman didn't seem to be a big disadvantage.
"Thank you, Miss Zheng." When Sang Qian took the tea cup, he tried to touch the other party's hand, but was avoided by the other party without any trace.
Zheng Dan's red lips parted slightly: "Sang Gongzi, whatever you want to do to me after we get married, I will naturally obey you, but now..." The implication of her words was also very obvious, asking him not to do anything to her before we got married. move.
A trace of anger flashed in Sang Qian's eyes, but he quickly covered it up. The more the other person behaved like this, the more it made his heart feel like a cat clawing at him. He even thought that men are just cheap, and they often don't cherish things they get easily. , the harder it is to get it, the more you dream about it.
"Something just happened at Silver Hook Gambling House..." In order to cover up his embarrassment, Sang Qian recounted what had just happened.
There was a hint of surprise on Zheng Dan's fair and perfect cheeks: "Hey, Silver Hook Gambling House actually allowed Zu An to win 7.5 million taels? It is rumored that this uncle of the Chu family is a wimp. It seems that the rumors are not credible."
Hearing her tone of voice full of praise for other men, Sang Qian felt uncomfortable: "Huh, it's just shitty luck, he only made a few bets, and he doesn't know how he met a dead mouse. "
Zheng Dan pursed her lips and smiled, her red lips outlining beautiful lines. She guessed the man's thoughts and said nothing to stimulate him.
Sang Qian continued: "By the way, I came here this time to ask for your help."
