Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 147 Even if I kill the villain, I still can’t get strings of cash
The burly man froze for a moment. He had been anxious just now, but now, pressed by Sun Yanwan, he felt completely intimidated. He said awkwardly, "Since Shaochan Temple and Songyang Sect have taken over this matter, I can definitely trust them. I'll go back and wait for news."

Several people echoed and shouted, "Let's go back first and wait for news from Shaochan Temple and Songyang Sect."

Seeing that at least 30% of the creditors were heading towards the gate, Sun Yanwan smacked his lips and said with a smile, "As I said earlier, if I don't speak, you all should keep quiet."

"Are you guys joking with me, Sun?"

Sun Yanwan slapped the Jingchan sword on his waist, and the Jingchan sword flew out of its sheath, turning into a white rainbow and piercing the left leg of the burly man running in front. He fell to the ground and did not bother to get up. He knelt down and kowtowed desperately.

Those who wanted to leave did not dare to move. They stood there in a daze, with sweat on their foreheads and were extremely nervous.

Sun Yanwan said to the girl, "Go, help me get the toad back."

The girl hadn't expected such a change. Sun Yanwan's appearance was truly shocking, giving her a sudden surge of hope. She ran over, grabbed the Jingchan Sword, and pulled it out. The burly man screamed and collapsed to the ground, his heart chilled. He hurriedly shouted, "Young man, young man, it's my fault. I forged the documents to try to defraud you of some money!"

"I was wrong, please spare my life, young man."

"I won't dare to do it again."

The burly man didn't care about the blood gushing from the wound on his leg and kowtowed desperately. He really felt that Sun Yanwan was extremely murderous.

Well, Sun Yanwan had just been teased by someone. What was actually on her was not murderous aura, but resentment. These people’s cultivation was too low to tell the difference.

Sun Yanwan laughed immediately. He had felt something was wrong just now, but he never expected that the people in the capital would be so shameless as to forge documents to blackmail!

He asked, "How much debt did this person want to collect just now?"

The girl's spirits lifted slightly, and she replied, "One hundred thousand strings of cash!"

Sun Yanwan smiled and said, "What an auspicious number! You can pay the Divine Sword Escort Agency 100,000 strings of cash as compensation and leave safely."

The burly man wailed, "Even if you kill me, you still won't have a hundred thousand strings of cash."

Sun Yanwan was even happier and said, "Killing him would be such a waste. Besides, I'm not someone who kills innocent people."

He said to the girl, "Go find a few reliable human traffickers and have them sign a self-selling contract with this brother, stating that you are selling yourself to the Divine Sword Escort Agency for a hundred thousand strings of cash."

"It also clearly states that the payment and delivery are complete, and that the silver will be delivered in full. The Divine Sword Escort Agency is also well-known and will not take advantage of good men in the martial arts world. As long as he repays the 100,000 strings of cash, he will regain his freedom, and no interest will be charged."

The burly man was about to argue, but Sun Yanwan pointed at an old man with a cheerful look on his face and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The old man replied with a smile: "I am here to cheat money too."

"I only want to swindle a few taels of silver. The young ladies and young masters of the Divine Sword Escort Agency can testify that I will never talk about more than that."

The girl nodded. She truly remembered that the old man had only said that her father owed him nineteen strings of cash. Sun Yanwan was speechless as she watched the old man happily take out twenty strings of cash and neatly place them in the corner of the main hall of the escort agency. Then, like a rat, he got jealous and ran out of the agency.

Sun Yanwan had just made the rule, so it was difficult to stop him. He looked back at the other creditors. Everyone had different expressions, but those who really came to cheat money, some were relieved, some had bitter faces, and some looked like the world had collapsed. But Sun Yanwan said that they were not allowed to speak without his questions, and even if they wanted to beg for mercy, they didn't dare to say anything.

Sun Yanwan asked the girl to find human traffickers, and she actually went to find them. After a while, she called seven or eight human traffickers over.

Sun Yanwan first made the burly man sign a contract to sell himself to the Divine Sword Escort Agency, then said with a smile, "It's only a hundred thousand strings of cash. It's easy to pay back. Brother, don't have any second thoughts. If you're not willing to work for the escort agency, then take a gamble and never meet anyone from Shaochan Temple or the Songyang Sect in this lifetime!"

The burly man signed the contract tremblingly, and when he saw the words "money and goods paid, full silver delivered", he was overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears.

After dealing with one "creditor", Sun Yanwan questioned them one by one, and found out that the 30% of those who were leaving were scammers, and the number was uncertain. After half an hour, seven of them sent people to pay money with great reluctance, and another eleven people signed contracts to sell themselves. Each of them looked like they had lost their parents, and their faces were ashen.

Sun Yanwan asked the rest of the people and found out that they all had real contracts. However, the amount of money borrowed by these creditors was not much, and most of them were legitimate businesses. Most of them were old customers of the escort agency, and they bought things on credit. They usually settled the bill by the end of the year, but now it was just a few days early.

Sun Yanwan repaid the money to these people in an orderly manner, and in a short while, twenty or thirty creditors left.

After her father's death, Tai Rongbo has been in a constant state of fear. Most of the escort agency's leaders, escort masters, and porters have left, leaving only six old men. The agency is definitely unable to continue operating. Suddenly, creditors appear at home, forcing the girl to death.

Just when she was at her wit's end, her mother suddenly said that she could send a letter to Shaochan Temple and Songyang Sect. Tai Rongbo thought that her mother was too naive. These big sects only collected money every year and never took care of anything.

The girl really didn't expect that Shaochan Temple and Songyang Sect would actually send people over.

Although this young man was young, his martial arts skills were incredibly superb and he was also incredibly smart. In just over an hour, there were only more than ten creditors left out of the dozens. Not only was the escort agency not emptied, but there were also eleven more guys who sold their money on long-term contracts, and seven or eight thousand strings of floating wealth, which was what was left after paying off many people.

The way Tai Rongbo looked at Sun Yan was as if he was looking at the Taoist Master Xuan Huang.

Sun Yanwan said to the remaining dozen or so creditors, "Now that we're free of these extraneous people, it's time to deal with your affairs."

"I guarantee you a result based on the reputation of Shaochan Temple and the Songyang Sect."

Seeing how decisive and decisive Sun Yanwan was in handling the matter, the ten or so people were very impressed. They all agreed in unison, saying, "We are willing to listen to Mr. Sun's mediation."

Sun Yanwan said to the girl, "Put away all these things and then arrange the banquet. How can you entertain guests in such a formal manner?"

Tai Rongbo knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. She wanted to give all the money to Sun Yanwan, but she felt that doing so would be bad for her benefactor's reputation, so she could only let someone take care of it first and deal with it later.

Without the idlers and the scammers, the Divine Sword Escort Agency had regained some of its former glory. Especially since Sun Yanwan had paid back all the merchants who had owed the agency money on credit, the neighbors and nearby shops all felt that the agency had finally breathed a sigh of relief.

We don’t know what the future will be like, but we have definitely overcome the current difficulties.

At the banquet, Sun Yanwan asked in detail about the remaining fifteen creditors. They were all people who entrusted the escort agency to transport goods. Most of the goods should have arrived at the destination, and some may still be on the way. These people were just worried that the escort agency would collapse and something would happen in the middle, so they would not be able to get their goods, so they came to the door to question.
