Crossing the Nongmen: The Space of Doctor Women is on fire!

Chapter 382 Debt collection comes to your door

Officials in this dynasty who can reach the fifth rank must at least have achievements and connections, such as Lord Fang, the prefect of Suzhou.

Ten years ago, after he graduated from high school, he met a minister close to the emperor by chance. They had been in contact over the years. No matter where he served and how much money he made, he would send a report to the minister close to the emperor.

Because of this, he received news that the emperor had sent people to Jiangnan secretly, intending to -

Suzhou City!
The plague swept across the entire North Wind Kingdom. Now that it has subsided, it is a time when everything is devastated and needs to be rebuilt. The Huns in the border areas are ready to make a move and are looking to take advantage of the situation to rob and start a war. If we want to restore the prestige of a great country and deter foreign races, what we need most is money!
Ask where the richest people are in the country?

Of course it is Jiangnan.

Among the Jiangnan areas, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the most prominent ones. It is known as "Heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". It has been a prosperous place since ancient times and enjoys the reputation of "the land of fish and rice". Suzhou is located in the Yangtze River Delta area with prosperous water conservancy. It is one of the important hubs for commodity trading. It has developed handicrafts such as silk, ceramics, weaving, lacquerware, and embroidery. It is also an important agricultural development center, and is known as "Suzhou, Changshu, the world is full of food".

He had only been in office here for three years, but he had become more than five times richer than before. He should have been transferred at the end of his term, but he used many tricks and spent a lot of money to stay here. How could he fail at such a critical moment?

Not only did he have to quickly deal with officials from surrounding areas, but old backlogs of cases also had to be dealt with as quickly as possible. As the year drew to a close, new year gifts from officials from various governments and wealthy businessmen had to be registered, and any that were too expensive had to be returned.

Huang Guiquan was so heartbroken. Among the New Year gifts there was a top-quality mink fur coat with pure fur color and intact fur. This winter was much colder than previous years, and this gift really touched his heart.

There is also a half-human-high statue made of white jade, which is very good to place at home for your mother to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures.

There was also a set of ruby ​​jewels in it, which were bright red, translucent and noble. I had wanted to add it to my daughter's dowry. When I was counting the gifts and putting them into the warehouse that day, my youngest daughter happened to be there, and she couldn't let go of the set of jewelry.

There were also large stacks of silver bills sent by local wealthy businessmen, with white silver and golden gold, which were pleasing to the eye just by looking at.

Alas, what a pity, what a pity. However, compared to these, life and official position are more important.

At such a critical moment, that damn Wang Mengwu, even though all the Emperor's men had arrived in Yangzhou, he still wanted to cause trouble for him!

Wang Mengwu, who was "causing trouble", was now very busy and had no time to take care of business anymore, because - the debt collectors from the gambling house came to his door!

"Oh no, sir! Boss Fang from the gambling house has come with a bunch of thugs to your house. They are right at the front door, saying that you haven't paid back the money you owed three months ago, so they are here to ask for some New Year's money!"

The voice of the servant reporting the news broke the silence in the yard. Wang Mengwu was so scared that he rolled off the bed without even bothering to put on his shoes.

"What did you say?"

Wang Mengwu's heart was pounding. Didn't they agree to give it to him after the New Year and during the Lantern Festival?

How do they...

"Where is Steward Wang?"

"Butler Wang asked the onlookers to go back in the front hall of the courtyard. Most of the servants in the house heard the noise and ran out to watch the fun, especially the ones in the young lady's yard. They didn't listen when asked to go back. The young lady was right next to them, so it was difficult to chase them away..."

Wang Mengwu was so angry that he almost exploded. He looked up and roared at the servant.

"A bunch of rubbish! Are you so scared of her? If she doesn't listen, just find a few people to take her back. What's there to be afraid of those little girls in her yard? Just give them a beating. You still need to give her face!"

The servant was so frightened that he dared not agree. Seeing the master running out barefoot without a coat, he quickly got up, grabbed his coat and shoes and chased after him. It was the coldest time of the year, and there had been a heavy snowfall last night, with a thick layer of snow on the ground. Deerskin boots would soon get soaked if you stepped on them, and walking barefoot was even colder.

Wang Mengwu could not feel the coldness under his feet at all, nor was he aware of the biting cold wind blowing into his inner clothes. He ran to the door angrily.

The vermilion door was closed tightly, and was knocked on by people outside. The thick wood diluted the volume of the shouting and cursing, but it still couldn't stop the dirty words from entering the ears of people inside the courtyard.

"Uncle Wang, didn't your aunt teach you that it is only natural to pay back debts?"

"Third brother, you are joking. Our uncle and aunt don't recognize him. It sounds nice that he is in charge of the Wang family, but he can't even pay back the money owed to us businessmen. Tsk tsk..."

"That's right. Everyone knows that the Wang family is the richest in Suzhou. When Mr. Wang was still around, many families rushed to curry favor with him. Why is it that when you are in charge, those families have all gone into hiding?"

"Needless to say, it's obvious that you don't like him!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

The area was already tightly surrounded by people who had braved the wind and snow to watch the fun. When they heard the words of the gambling house boss, they burst into laughter.

"Look, he doesn't even dare to open the door. With such a cowardly attitude, it would be strange if a noble lady in the capital would recognize him!"

"What are you talking about? No matter how poor he is, he is still the eldest in the family. His background can make him superior to others. Alas, it's just pitiful for Mr. Wang Er. He has a lot of talent and is better than his eldest brother in every way, but he has always been suppressed by his incompetent eldest brother. What a pity!"

"Sixth son, what you said is not right. No matter how good Mr. Wang is, he has never patronized our business. But the old man comes to our place all the time. People should be trustworthy and we can't say such slanderous words!"

"Brother, you have taught us well. The old man just doesn't want to pay back the money. What can we do? We have almost knocked the door down, but no one is coming. Could he have run away?"

"What are you talking about..."

Wang Mengwu's face in the yard turned pale and blue, and it was unclear whether he was angry or cold.

When Butler Wang saw the young master, who was thinly dressed and barefoot, he felt so distressed that he quickly stepped forward to take the clothes from the servant who followed behind and put them on him. He then bent down personally to ask him to put on his shoes, and served him very attentively.

Yang Jinfan and his group of spectators were watching from the side, and they couldn't help but sigh at the fatherly love that Butler Wang had for Uncle Wang. Several glances fell on Wang Mengwu at the same time, with unclear meanings.

Wang Mengwu seemed to sense something. The moment he looked at Yang Jinfan, he wanted to rush forward and strangle her to death. Then he turned his head and saw a graceful figure. It was Tao Banxian who came when she heard the voice. The thin veil covered her stunning face, but could not hide her divinity.

Even people from the second house came. Wang Mengwu's emotions had reached its peak at this moment. His anger turned into strength, and he kicked over the butler Wang who was putting on his shoes.

Butler Wang had a limp and could not stand steadily due to his old age. After being kicked, he not only rolled over, but also felt completely chilled to the bone.

"Uncle Wang!"

Uncle Wang cried out in surprise and rushed over to help the fallen old man up.

Today is 4,000, go to bed early, don't stay up late and become a bald little baby~
