I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Duan Yan, who was standing by, did not notice that Fang Yiyi was distracted. When the Changsun family was mentioned, he remembered something interesting and gossiped:

"Three joys came to Chang'an yesterday. Each of you three was more exciting than the other."

"What happened to the Changsun family is more serious than your two families marrying the wrong bride."

Fang Yiyi immediately became interested: "Can you tell me about it?"

"Last night, Chang Sun Chong got drunk and...

Bang!

The barrier door of the elegant room was pushed open with great force.

This rude act instantly made several people in the room frown.

But the warm and kind voice floated into the ears of the three people in the room.

"Fang Sanlang, you really made us wait for a long time. First of all, congratulations on your wedding yesterday. Happy marriage!"

Everyone looked over and saw three people stepping into the house.

Fang Yiyi looked at the leader and something popped up in his memory.

Fang Yiyi sighed in his heart:

"This predecessor is really good at causing trouble!"

"One problem hasn't been solved yet, and another one comes up!"

The Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats were seven mountains weighing on them that the royal families of the Sui and Tang dynasties had tried their best, even in their dreams, to get rid of.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Gao Shilian compiled the first edition of "Clan Records", in which the Cui family of Boling was ranked first.

Chapter 20: What a spendthrift

Throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty, the sixteen prime ministers of the Cui family of Boling were recognized by the world as the "top of the world's aristocratic families"!

The person who pushed open the barrier door and came in was actually someone from the Cui family of Boling.

A signed IOU was slowly unfolded and placed on the map by Cui Hao, who was from a branch of the Cui family of Boling.

He had a warm smile on his face, without any rudeness, and said in a very friendly manner:

"Fang Sanlang, it is only natural to pay back debts. You promised to pay it back seven days ago."

"Bofang gave you five days' grace for the sake of the Prime Minister. You got married yesterday, so we gave you another day."

"We have given you enough face. You can't delay paying off this debt any longer, right?"

The two men behind him stood at the door of the elegant room with their arms folded, staring at Fang Yiyi with unfriendly eyes, as if they were looking at a "gambler who owes debts and doesn't pay back".

Fang Yiyi looked at the IOU on the table and was suddenly speechless.

Just now I was muttering in my heart that my wife was short of money.

As a result, I was short of money.

My predecessor loved drinking and spending money like water, and he would gamble whenever he had time.

Seven days ago, he got drunk and gambled heavily in the gambling house run by Cui family in Boling. He lost everything. Relying on Fang Xuanling's reputation, he borrowed 370 strings of cash to pay off his gambling debts, and only then was he able to leave the gambling house.

As the saying goes, nine out of 13 go out and 13 return, so the repayment amount is 481 strings of cash, not to mention that it has been overdue for seven days, so there is no room for negotiation at all.

Duan Yan and Yan Xuansui frowned, with helplessness showing on their faces.

The debt collector from Cui's gambling house in Boling is not someone you can easily talk to.

Now he looks smiling and friendly.

If something goes wrong later, there will be a quarrel.

The two men subconsciously took out the money in their pockets, wanting to pay some for Fang Yiyi first to avoid quarreling and making things worse.

This is Pingkangfang, and Zuixiang Pavilion is a place where dignitaries gather. If the incident gets out of hand, it will spread throughout Chang'an quickly and become a laughing stock for everyone.

Sanlang of the Fang family had just gotten married when this scandal broke out.

Not to mention the reputation of the Fang family, Li Shimin had to scold Fang Xuanling for his poor parenting.

"Take this coin first, and don't make a fuss!"

"This jade pendant is worth ten strings of cash. You can take it first, and then redeem it and return it to me later!"

Cui Hao caught the coin thrown by Yan Xuansui and put it into his arms with a happy look on his face.

According to Yan Xuansui, this money is not included in the debt and is given by the other party for free.

No matter who it is, everyone is happy.

Then he immediately reached out to touch Duan Yan's jade pendant and said happily:

"Thank you, Dalang Yan. I won't make a fuss. As long as Sanlang Fang pays back the money..."

A thin palm covered the jade pendant.

Fang Yiyi looked at the surprised Cui Hao and said calmly:

"Pay back your debts and I'll pay you back."

"That one string of money was not a reward for you, and I still owe you four hundred and eighty strings of money."

"But please allow me to wait a few more days."

The free money is gone. After seven days of waiting, I have to wait another three days?

Cui Hao immediately looked unhappy and raised his voice:

"Fang Sanlang, the agreed date has long passed, and there is a seven-day extension. How can there be any further extension?"

Fang Yiyi raised his eyebrows: "Don't yell yet, let's discuss this properly."

Cui Hao snorted coldly and didn't wait for anyone to continue speaking.

Fang Yiyi said meaningfully:

"I admit that I lost money, but I won't pursue the question of how I lost so much money in your Bo Ling Cui family's gambling house."

"After all, I lost the money. How about we both take a step back?"

Chapter 21 Girls, Don't Use Knives or Guns

Cui Hao's expression changed slightly, and he raised his voice:

"W-what do you mean?"

"You don't even want to pay back your debts, and you still want to slander our Bofang?"

"Fang Yiyi, today, you must pay back the money."

"Otherwise, we will go to the officials. The son of the prime minister of the house owes debts and does not repay them. He even slanders us and thinks that our Bo Ling Cui family is easy to bully!"

After hearing this shout, there was a commotion in the surrounding elegant rooms.

No need to think, just see some excitement and listen for the sound coming from the wall.

Moreover, it was Sanlang of the Fang family who caused a stir last night for marrying the wrong wife.

This is so lively, you have to listen to it!

Some people even pushed the door open and stood at the door looking in.

You ungrateful animal?

Fang Yiyi directly picked up the quilt on the table, splashed sheep oil tea on the other party's face, told him to shut up, and said coldly:

"Shut up and tell your master that I will send the money to Bofang in three days."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll break one of your legs!"

Different from his usual gentle demeanor, the ferocity in Fang Yiyi's eyes made Cui Hao inexplicably frightened. He subconsciously closed his mouth and shrank back.

The two men at the door took a step forward together, ready to fight.

They had an IOU, and Fang Yiyi poured water on their heads first, so they were right if they fought!

When Cui Hao reacted, he took a step forward in anger and even pulled out the stick from his waist, but he didn't even wait to swing it.

Fang Yiyi said coldly: "Li Qiu, tell him to shut up!"

A petite figure flashed in from outside the door, and the sound of crisp slaps rang out in the elegant room.

Li Qiu, Chai Xueying's personal maid and also a personal soldier, was very skilled in martial arts. She pressed the stunned Cui Hao onto the table and put the dagger in her hand to his throat.

The cold blade made Cui Hao shiver and break out in a cold sweat.

Li Qiu's pretty face was cold and her eyes were as cold as ice, causing the two Bofang followers to stop and not know what to do.

Those who are stunned are afraid of being violent, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives.

The situation was instantly taken control of by Fang Yiyi.

Fang Yiyi frowned and said, "Put away your weapons. Girls, don't pull out knives all the time. If someone sees you, it will be hard for you to find a husband."

"Yes, Sanlang!" Li Qiu obediently put away the knife and stood up, standing still obediently, as if everything that had just happened was not something that could happen to such a thin and delicate girl like her.

At the same time, there was some uneasiness in her eyes. She was the general's dowry maid, or to put it bluntly, she was also Fang Yiyi's maid.

Fang Yiyi's words just now made her start to wonder: Could it be that Sanlang doesn't want her anymore?

Cui Hao, still in shock, touched his neck tremblingly and swallowed subconsciously.

Fang Yiyi took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped the sheep oil ginger tea off Cui Hao's face, saying with concern in his reproach:

"Come on, can't you just talk nicely and ask for the money?"

"Who in Chang'an doesn't know what kind of person I am, Fang Yiyi?"

"The huge Duke Wei's Mansion is right in Wubenfang, and he can't escape."

"You have to force me to throw away my gentlemanly manners and play dirty with you."

"It's not good that they've resorted to violence now!"

As he spoke, Fang Yiyi helped Cui Hao up amid the astonished eyes of the crowd, looked at the scarlet slap marks on his face, and said with concern:

"Hiss, that slap was a bit harsh. Does your face hurt? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"

Cui Hao, whose arrogance was defeated, covered his face.

The debtor cares about me, while I, the debt collector, am beaten and have a knife at my neck.

I just felt wronged, lowered my head and pouted:

"Sanlang, your face hurts, so there's no need for a doctor. I just want to collect a debt, and I don't want to bully you. What are you doing?"

"This debt has been overdue for seven days. I really can't delay it any longer."

Chapter 22: Sanlang is so powerful

puff!

Yan Xuansui, who was honest by nature, couldn't help but laugh out loud, with his exposed teeth, white and shiny in the sunlight outside the window.

He met Cui Hao's resentful eyes, took a deep breath immediately, and put on a serious face and stopped smiling.

Fang Yiyi patted Cui Hao on the shoulder and said, "Didn't I just tell you to talk to us properly?"

"Who can you blame if you insist on playing tough?"

"Moreover......"

Fang Yiyi leaned close to Cui Hao and whispered something in his ear.

Cui Hao's expression changed instantly and his eyes became panicked.

Fang Yiyi continued, "Although Bofang used some tricks, I also said that I accept the debt. Can you give me another four days? Isn't my name Fang Yiyi worth this?"

Cui Hao raised his head, looked into Fang Yiyi's clear eyes, pursed his lips and said:

"Didn't you just say three days?"

Fang Yiyi said seriously: "I just remembered that I have to go back to Duke Huo's Mansion with the princess in three days."
