While thinking about it, something suddenly moved in his heart. Mu Yun immediately said in a loud voice: "By the way, senior, I just did the math. Twenty taels of silver rolled into one hundred and fifty taels in half a year. That should be 50% profit every month. We are the boss of the law. It is clearly stipulated that the maximum monthly interest is 20%, and any excess will not be counted."
Yu Miaohe shook his head and said: "Isn't this nonsense? What kind of loan sharking is called usury if it is within the rules? But you have some sense, don't you think you can borrow it yourself?"
Mu Yun said slightly embarrassed: "Of course I haven't borrowed it. I just remembered to read the corresponding regulations when I took the scholar examination a year ago."
Yu Miaohe was greatly surprised and said with interest: "Oh? Did you pass the exam or not?"
Mu Yun chuckled and said, "Ashamed, I just casually read some classics, history, and laws. But thanks to the examiner's love, I am now a man of merit. I don't have to kneel when I see the county magistrate."
He was full of humility, but his chest lifted up subconsciously, and there was a look of pride on his face.
Although Yu Miaohe was amused, he was also a little impressed, so he teased and said: "Yes, Qi Xiucai is indeed a good scholar. In the future, if you are promoted to a higher position and given the title of wife, don't forget to repay your benefactor."
Mu Yun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Forget it then. If you want to go up to the examinations for Judicial Examination and Jinshi Examination, you will have to have the talent to stabilize the country. I can't imitate Xianyun Yehe's temperament."
Yu Miaohe couldn't help but smile and said: "This is wrong. In my opinion, most of the gentlemen in the temple are not talented enough to stabilize the country."
"It's nothing more than 'three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver', so there is no need for Qi Xiucai to belittle himself."
Mu Yun scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "That's not what I said. In short, it's best if the government can solve it. We should report the matter truthfully. I'm sure the magistrate will make a fair decision."
Yu Miaohe was so angry that he couldn't laugh. He glanced at Mu Yun and said, "You stupid boy, you are simply stupid because of studying. If it weren't for the support of the government, how dare he, Gong Haitong, to lend usury so blatantly? When the time comes, the county magistrate will rule." You are guilty of slander and false accusation, I want to see if you kneel or not?"
Mu Yun's heart trembled, and while he was muttering to himself, he saw the curtain of the caravan lifted, and the Dragonfly sister-in-law poked her head out and said gratefully: "Hero, Heroine, I'm... ready."
Yu Miaohe smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. Your child has been hungry for a long time and needs to be fed."
Dragonfly blushed and said: "No... no need. Please be kind to the heroine and wake up the third brother. I... I still have to go with him."
Yu Miaohe'e frowned and was about to say something to comfort her when she heard Mu Yun say softly: "Senior, is that the 'rightful master' here?"
Yu Miaohe followed the sound and saw several Qingqi riding towards the middle of the street. The man in charge was about forty years old, eight feet long but as thin as a bamboo pole. The most surprising thing was that the thing hanging on his mount's victory hook was neither a knife nor a gun, but looked like a piece of iron.
A look of surprise appeared on Yu Miaohe's face, and Mu Yun also said doubtfully: "This... doesn't seem to be Gang Leader Gong, right?"
Yu Miaohe nodded slightly and said: "Although he is not the main master, he can still be regarded as the 'deputy' master."
While he was talking, those light horses were approaching like lightning. The slender man glanced at him first, and then he hurriedly rolled off his saddle and dismounted. He came forward and solemnly clasped his fists in greeting and said: "It turns out that the fish lady is here. I'm Jia Xiren, please be polite." ”
Yu Miaohe said calmly: "It turns out to be Deputy Gang Leader Jia. It's been a long time since we've seen him."
Jia Xiren forced a smile, looked down at the still unconscious "Third Brother", and said cautiously: "My brother is ignorant and has unintentionally offended the Fish Girl. I ask the Fish Girl to forgive me."
After he finished speaking, he clasped his fists again, but Yu Miaohe said casually: "I don't dare to take it seriously, but I still have some doubts in my mind and body, and I would like to ask Deputy Gang Leader Jia for advice."
Jia Xiren said respectfully: "Please tell me from the fish lady."
Yu Miaohe nodded and said: "Thank you, Deputy Gang Leader Jia. I just want to ask, when did your gang start doing this loan sharking business?"
Jia Xiren looked confused and said clearly innocently: "Where did the Fish Girl start talking about this? How could our Five Python Gang do such a business that would end our children and grandchildren?"
Yu Miaohe was astonished when he heard this, and Mu Yun beside him couldn't help but interjected: "Deputy Gang Leader Jia also asked for guidance. Just now, the 'third brother' of the Gui Gang said personally that he would roll twenty taels of silver into a business within half a month." One hundred and fifty taels, what is that if it's not a loan shark?"
Jia Xiren's expression did not change, he nodded slightly and said: "This little brother is a friend of the Fish Girl, I am really lucky to meet him today. As for our Brother Pi, he has not been in the gang for a long time, and I am afraid that the gang's internal affairs are not yet complete." Familiar, it must have been a slip of the tongue, which caused the two of you to misunderstand."
Mu Yun felt angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but protested: "Oh? But I heard from below that this old man Pi is a member of the noble gang, and his position should be quite high. He has not been in the gang for a long time, and he is not familiar with it yet. Internal affairs?"
Jia Xiren smiled and said: "It is indeed a high-level job for our gang to 'serve', but the gang leader has always been open-minded and generous, and he likes to appoint young talents without exception. This Brother Pi has not been in the gang for a long time. I hope you will forgive me, Fish Girl." .”
Mu Yun secretly felt angry, thinking that this fried dough stick was probably older than "Third Brother", and might even have become a spirit long ago.
Yu Miaohe had been watching with cold eyes, and then he said slightly: "So in the opinion of deputy gang leader Yijia, how much money do I, my sister's husband, owe you?"
Jia Xiren waved his hand and said generously: "Since the sister-in-law of the Tian family is the sister of the Fish Girl, how can we still have the nerve to pursue the debt? Everyone, come and bear witness. I, surnamed Jia, personally promise that the debt owed by Tian Jucai will be It’s been wiped out from now on.”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yun was surprised and happy. Dragonfly, who had been hiding in the car for a long time, was so excited that he opened the curtains and came forward in three steps. He asked in a trembling voice: "Jia... Jia... Deputy Gang Leader, is what you said true?"
With a smile on his face, Jia Xiren said cordially: "Of course it's true. A real man has said what he says and it's hard to follow him, so how can he be so trustworthy? Even if the Tian family's sister-in-law can't trust Mr. Jia, she should still be able to trust the Fish Girl, right?"
Dragonfly was so happy that she couldn't speak. Yu Miaohe coughed lightly and said, "In that case, then my sister's husband..."
Jia Xiren said understandingly: "If the Fish Girl is not at ease, just follow the next line. We will cancel the note in person and then send Brother Tian back. How about that?"
Yu Miaohe looked at Mu Yun with hesitation on his face. Jia Xiren didn't know what was going on, and then said attentively: "It just so happens that our Five Python Gang is hosting a banquet for distinguished guests today. Please take the time to entertain the Fish Girl and let me entertain you with all your heart."
Yu Miaohe frowned and said, "Oh? Deputy Gang Leader Jia asked me to accompany you for drinks?"
Jia Xiren was startled and quickly apologized: "How dare I do that? I have such a bad mouth and can't speak. Please forgive me, Fish Girl."
