Volume 1 Chapter 130: Unbearable (3)

  Chapter 130: None Other Than Me (Three)

  "Say it properly, if you have something to say." Mozi brought out the thick skin of a boatman, and after several instances, he proved that running a boat was the fastest way to temper one's will. "In public, I'm also doing this for your own good. Paying off debts is only right. However, that young lady, before it was confirmed that she needed to be used as collateral, was a clean and innocent girl from a good family. You..."

  Her purple hair was average among women, but in front of the muscular men, she was still a little bird. But Tong Qiang stood on the steps, her hand pointed, and she was still accurate.

  "You're so rough and rude, it's damaging the young lady's reputation. If you take her to court, she'll accuse your brother of being a scoundrel, and he'll accuse her of being frivolous. If you run into an official who favors women, one accusation will cancel out the other, and both the silver and the person will be lost. How will you explain that to your Ninth Master?" What was said earlier still made some sense, but what followed was just intimidation. No matter, it's enough to intimidate for now.

  Copper coin paste saw the ink purple thin inside, wearing a pair of running legs, and immediately looked down on him three points. But looking at his companion Zan Jin, he was even taller than the helpers he brought, with a dignified appearance, a green sword on his waist, maybe he's a heroic young man, so I'm cautious for three points. Back and forth, pulling even psychologically, straightening his waist, making people retreat, wanting to humiliate him in public.

  "You think you're so clever with your smooth talk, but you don't even have a full head of hair yet. When taking sides, you should at least find out who the masters are, or else you'll suffer and still claim to be innocent." His triangular eyes glared up fiercely.

  Purple ink borrowed praise to open the way, step by step walking up, "Then I'll ask around, who are you few old folks?"

  There were clever people in the crowd who caught the sarcasm and burst out laughing.

  "You damned bastard, looking for death!"

  "What's wrong with me? Didn't you say you're a grandfather yourself?" In the past, people didn't live long, and they married and had children early. By the time they were in their thirties, they already looked like grandfathers. Besides, everyone wants to be considered an elder, it's not like she forced them.

  More people laughed and someone loudly said that's right. The ancients were warm-hearted, it was from this relatively simple-minded ancient times that such thoughts arose.

  "You're collecting debts, just follow the contract and you'll be fine. You keep asking me if I know who you are. Are you robbers, planning to loot and kidnap without anyone knowing your affiliation, so people will be too scared to move? Now I really want to ask, what is this Leopard Gang of yours? Is it a group that bullies ordinary people, harasses respectable women, and disregards the law? You have to report your organization before doing anything. If you dare to admit it, I'll dare to write a complaint to report your entire Leopard Gang to the authorities. Under the heavens, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, I don't believe the law can't control you." Muzi's mouth curled up, even someone like Tongguan Gao could see the disdain in her eyes.

  From ancient times to the present, there have been many people who deceive the good and fear the evil.

  Tong Qian Gao suddenly shrank back under Mo Zi's disdainful gaze, thinking to himself, could it be that they are some kind of big shots? That would require caution, can't afford to offend them casually.

  With this thought, his mouth became much cleaner. "We, the Leopard Gang, would never bully ordinary people. This young master of Lin's family borrowed 1,500 taels of silver from our two masters and wrote a personal IOU with his handprint on it. It has been overdue for many days, so we came to collect the debt in person. Who would have thought that he ran away? The IOU clearly states that if the debt is not repaid, the person will be taken as compensation. We are law-abiding citizens, and the national law cannot let the borrower get away with it scot-free, can it?"

  "Although you can speak human language, you insisted on learning dog barking. Mò Zǐ glanced at the copper coin and changed his face, chuckling, "Everyone speaks nicely, things will naturally be resolved easily. By asking for debt in your way, people's hearts are all inclined towards the debtor, ruining the good name of your gang, what's the benefit? Bring it here and let us take a look."

  "What's going on?" Tong Qian was unable to keep up with Mo Zi's rapid-fire thinking, and suddenly transformed from a vicious villain into a obedient little dog, looking foolish.

  "IOU," said Mozi matter-of-factly. "Everyone just saw you take it out and wave it around, but who saw what was written on it?"

  The crowd has already moved Mozi's enthusiasm, and they all say no.

  "I don't know if it's true or false, anyway, I have to see clearly. I and this miss are not relatives or friends, willing to be a witness for everyone. If there is anyone else who can recognize characters below, please come up with two people to help review." Mozi didn't give Tong Qian Gao a chance to question him in the future, so he invited passerby A and B.

  Two people who had read books stepped forward voluntarily.

  Tong Qian Gao saw the crowd's excitement and knew it was not good to provoke public anger. With evidence in hand, he wasn't afraid to take out the IOU again for everyone to see. He took out the IOU, holding both ends with his hands, "You all understand how important this is. If someone intentionally tears it up, who can I go cry to? You few, you can look, but don't stretch out your hands. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

  Actually, Mozi knew that the IOU must be genuine, but she just wanted to see if there were any loopholes to exploit. In ancient times, people attached great importance to written contracts, but someone like Qiu San Niang, who had read a lot of books and was very astute, would list every detail from major to minor in a contract, making it difficult for someone with non-professional knowledge like hers to find any loopholes; such people were rare.

  Lin Gongzi's IOU was written like this: On a certain year, month and day, Lin Moumou borrowed 800 taels of silver from Xu Moumou. The interest is so much, calculated daily, with the longest loan period being one year. One year later, if Lin Moumou has no ability to repay the debt, his sister Lin Zhen Niang will use her body to offset the debt. After Lin Zhen Niang becomes a slave, all matters of life and death are at the disposal of Xu Moumou. Lin Moumou and his family members are not allowed to redeem or discuss it after the deadline.

  There are three signatures, seals and fingerprints on top.

  One of the middle-aged scholars stepped forward and loudly read out the contents of the IOU. The crowd immediately let out a sigh, usury was detestable, but it was truly a case of a brother selling his own sister, poor Zhen Niang was destined to enter the brothel and be humiliated by others.

  "Look, isn't this proof? We're not acting arbitrarily, we're just following the original agreement. Everyone else should mind their own business and scatter, go take care of your own affairs!"

  Mozi felt that the content of this IOU was a bit strange, and before he could think carefully, seeing Tong Qiang wanting to drive away the crowd that was helping him, immediately said, "Wait."

  Everyone was originally reluctant to disperse, but when they suddenly heard that brother say "wait a minute", it was as if they had received an order, and with a rustling sound, they returned to their original positions and stood still.

  Anyone who has ever heard Mozi's slow and gentle voice will never feel at ease again. In the past, there was Xiao Er Lang, and now there is Tong Qian Gao. Because in their opinion, there is no excuse for being slow, but listening to her tone makes them feel extremely uneasy.

  Tong Qian Gao is a mixed bag, once he gets angry, he easily explodes and jumps around, and he thinks he's in the right, even if it's true, he's not afraid. Now he kicked two short legs, and the rough words came again, "Wait a minute, you Lin family owe my old man money, you're full and have nothing to do, meddling in other people's business for no reason"

  When Mozi dresses up as a man, most of the people she interacts with are men. Listening to their rough and crude language doesn't faze her; on the contrary, sometimes she can even exchange a few coarse words with close friends to blend in with the atmosphere and hide her own "girly" side.

  "You're making a big show of yourself at my family's place, causing so many people to gather and watch. I'm not worrying for nothing." Mei Zi said, just as he spotted Xun Er. He hastily came out from the Lin Manor and turned around the Shadow Wall, with over ten people behind him, including the three brothers Yu, Xia, and She. Those three were also skilled in martial arts, and adding Zan Jin to the mix, their strength was now evenly matched.

  Tong Qian Gao heard this and looked up at the Lin Mansion gate, "Oh? So the young master's owner bought this place. Do you know that the feng shui of this land is good..."

  Mozi didn't bother talking nonsense with him, raised her palm, "Then don't trouble yourself. To put it simply, Miss Lin, you can't take them away yet."

  "What are you? You say can't bring, then can't bring? I'm being polite to you, and you're still arguing with me. Let me tell you, Lin's family has run away, Lin Zhen Niang is our Ninth Master's person. Today, we must take this person away. If you have the guts, go ask Ninth Master for the person." Tong Qian Gao looked at the sun, he had been delayed long enough by this matter, if he didn't return now, he would be punished, "Brothers, come and bring the young lady away"

  "Alright, let's invite Miss Lin and the others in through the main gate."

  Tong Qian Ge let out a snort, rolled up his sleeves and reached out to push Mo Zi. However, he didn't even touch the clothes on Mo Zi's body, and before he could react, the face in front of him had changed.

  "Hey, brother, let's talk it out, no need for violence." Chou Yu pulled Mo Zi behind him.

  "Mo Ge, am I just in time?" Having said that to the other side, Chou Yu turned around and rushed towards Mo Zi Le.

  "You're always so punctual." Seeing the boatmen, Mozi's mood improved greatly. He nodded at Fei Xia and Shui She who had already arrived beside him.

  What kind of friendship is that? No one wants to take advantage of anyone, and no one has a higher status than the other. They go through thick and thin together on the battlefield, advancing and retreating together three times, sharing life-and-death friendships. And such life-and-death friendships are even more easily expressed after experiencing being generals and marshals.

  Tong Qian Gao took a look and found that the other party's momentum was much stronger than his own, hesitating whether to make a move.

  Mo Zi stepped forward, raised his voice to a level that everyone could hear and said, "I say this person can't be taken away, naturally there is a reason. With so many neighbors listening, I won't speak nonsense. On the IOU, there is a sentence that says if Lin Gongzi is unable to repay the debt, his sister Lin Zhen Niang will use her body to offset the debt. In other words, the premise for Miss Lin to offset the debt is that Lin Gongzi is unable to repay it. But can this be?"

  "Tong Qian Gao hummed a few times, 'Do you know and still don't hurry up to hand over the person?'"

  "That's strange. We paid Lin Gongzi 1,800 taels of silver seven days ago to buy the Lin Mansion, and he clearly had the ability to repay the debt." Mo Zi caught the flaw and called out Qi Er again, "Qi Er, can you testify that Lin Gongzi indeed received our silver?"

  "Not bad. There's also Xiao Ma as a witness." Cen Er didn't know what Mo Zi meant, but his addition was quite good.

  Not only did Shen Ji not understand, but also no one present could comprehend Mo Zi's purpose.
