Chapter 224 You Are the Unreasonable Ones
"Li Yuzhu and Zhao Xiuwan had already torn their faces apart before." Su Jixiang continued, "The two of them were openly fighting on the street regardless of their status. Li Yuzhu's husband has been imprisoned. Where do you think she got the confidence? I think what she said must be true. Zhao Xiuwan really borrowed money from her. Zhao Xiuwan's excuse was also based on the fact that Li Yuzhu had no money left.
Zhao Xiuwan is so proud that if she is sure that Li Yuzhu's IOU is missing, she will definitely try to save her lost face. She is not someone who would settle things peacefully. Now that things are peaceful between the two of them, it means that the matter has really been resolved."
"You are really smart." Wei Ling couldn't help but laugh. "Qian Feng paid back all the money for her."
"If I'm not mistaken, you should give some money to Qian Feng." Su Jixiang said with a smile on his face.
"This..." Wei Ling knew that he couldn't hide it from Su Jixiang, so he could only smile and nod. "Qian Feng has always been by my side, so I'll help him if I can. But I've already told Qian Feng that if Zhao Xiuwan does something similar again in the future, I won't help her anymore."
"Yeah." Su Jixiang nodded.
Anyone with eyes can see that Qian Feng likes Zhao Xiuwan, but how Zhao Xiuwan treats Qian Feng is a matter of opinion.
This kind of thing can only be helped once, not every time. To live at home, it requires the cooperation of two people. If Qian Feng is the only one who is enthusiastic about it, then they will find it difficult to continue.
The two men rushed to Jingui Casino.
When Wei Ling and Su Jixiang arrived, Nangong Rui's father, Nangong Tian, had been rescued, but he was squatting in the corner without saying a word.
"Master Nangong, I respect you very much." The owner of Jingui Casino is called Qiao Er. He grew up among wild kids and had always been hanging around on the streets. Later, he was spotted by the original owner of Jingui Casino and taken by his side as a bodyguard. As a result, he was good at dealing with people, and the daughter of the original owner of Jingui Casino fell in love with him. The original owner only had one daughter, and seeing that his daughter fell in love with Qiao Er, and Qiao Er was also very capable by his side, he also liked him very much, so he simply took Qiao Er as his son-in-law, and now directly handed over the gambling house to him to manage, while he went to enjoy the good life.
If a well-mannered person were to run a place like a gambling house, he would definitely not be able to run it. This Qiao Er grew up on the streets, so he was very smooth and tactful when doing things, and he would never show mercy when he had to be ruthless. In just one year, he had managed the Jingui gambling house perfectly, and the business was booming.
Qiao Er took out a large stack of IOUs and spread them on the table. "This is the money your old man owes to our gambling house. It adds up to nearly one thousand taels. I didn't bother with him because of your face. As long as the old man is happy, he is giving me face by playing with me. But playing is playing, right? You can't cheat!"
Nangong Rui's face looked very ugly.
"Dad, are these your IOUs?" He picked up the IOUs on the table and looked at them carefully. Each one had Nangong Tian's signature, seal and fingerprint.
Nangong Tian touched his chin and said, "What's wrong? Can't I, your dad, come out and play?" Although he was squatting in the corner, he was still very arrogant when looking at his son.
"No, don't you know what our family's situation is like now?" Nangong Rui's head was so big that it hurt.
It's just a small amount of silver, but now that he has lost his official position, where can he get it?
"Look at this IOU. Now he is cheating in my place and was caught by a customer. Tell me, how should I deal with it? If I am not ruthless to the old man, no one will dare to come to my place to play in the future. They will just say that I am shielding the cheater! And I am in cahoots with the cheater! If people get such a reputation about me running a gambling house, I won't be able to run it anymore!" Although Qiao Er grew up in the city and has a ruffian air, he is very sensible in doing things and his words are well-reasoned.
"Yes, yes, what Boss Qiao said is right." Nangong Rui had no choice but to nod in response.
"Now, for the sake of Lord Nangong and all the other gentlemen, I will not ask for all these IOUs one by one. I only want five hundred taels. Isn't that enough? My lords, the total of these IOUs is nearly one thousand taels, plus the interest paid over these days, so it's not too much for me to charge you one thousand five hundred taels!" said Qiao Er.
"One thousand five hundred taels? Why don't you go and rob?" Nangong Tian was the first to get restless when he heard this. He stood up from the corner.
He didn't dare to speak before, but now his son is here, what is he afraid of?
After all, his son is one of the most famous people in Mangcheng! Everyone should respect him!
"I only lent you nine hundred taels!" Nangong Tian shouted with his neck stiff.
"What you borrowed is a loan shark. Before writing the IOU, I told you clearly that the interest is 90% of the money you pay. Not to mention 1,500 taels, even 1,800 taels would be unbearable!" Qiao Er said, "Now I only take 500 taels from you, and I haven't even taken back the principal on your IOU. And you still say that I might as well rob? Old Master Nangong, if you say that, I will really sue you to the government!"
"You run a gambling house, so is it reasonable for you to borrow money at high interest rates?" Qian Feng shouted.
"I have permission from the government to open the gambling house." Qiao Er said, "I'm afraid you can't blame me for this. And it's not me who tempted the old man to sign the loan sharking agreement. He took the initiative to ask me to borrow the money. I even tried to persuade him at the time that it was a loan sharking agreement and he shouldn't touch it. But the old man scolded me in front of many guests, saying that his son had a promising future and was afraid that he couldn't pay back the money? Many of my guests saw and heard this. I can find someone to testify!" Qiao Er said.
Qian Feng was stunned. What Qiao Er said was true.
Not everyone can open a gambling house. Gambling houses use seals issued by the government and pay heavy taxes to the government...
All in all, it was Nangong Tian who was unreasonable first, and Qiao Er really did something that was imperfect.
"The principle of paying back debts is probably universal, right?" Qiao Er saw Qian Feng choked, and then continued, "Sir Qian, I know it's not easy for you to defend our Mangcheng. It's also because of the Black Tiger Army that we can do business in Mangcheng safely, but we pay taxes. Every time before the Black Tiger Army went to war, my family would send meat and wine to entertain the troops. You must know this!"
