Chapter 39: Guangyuan Mansion
The runners' hearts jumped, awed by Wang Yang's momentum, and hesitated to move forward.
Wang Yang struck while the iron was hot and said sternly: "Call the Jiangling County Magistrate to come over immediately! I want him to see how stupid his subordinates are!"
Poor Tong Luozhu and the three of them were usually majestic, but today they were first scolded by Du Sanye and then scolded by Wang Yang. For a while, they didn't know what to do.
Du Sanye sat up and said to Tong Luozhu: "You are all stupid! I have already checked, except for Wang Tai, there is no second Langya Wang clan in Jingzhou at all!"
Wang Yang sneered: "Is that so? Then did you check the Commandery School? Did you ask the Libationer Liu Zhao of the Commandery School?"
"Commandery School?" Du Sanye and Tong Luozhu were both stunned.
"The Commandery School's cart is at the entrance of the village, oh by the way, my friend is also on it, he is from the Yu clan of Xinye."
Tong Luozhu immediately ordered a runner to check at the entrance of the village, and Du Sanye also transferred one of his own people to follow.
The entrance of the village was not far from here, and the two returned quickly, and Yu Yuling followed them.
"Brother Wang, what's wrong?" Yu Yuling looked at the room full of people, a little surprised.
Wang Yang said lightly: "It's okay, someone is looking for death, I'm preparing to fulfill them."
At this time, Tong Luozhu's men were whispering to Tong Luozhu, and Tong Luozhu was surprised: "Did you see clearly?"
"I saw it really clearly! There is the family crest of the Liu clan of Nieyang on that cart!"
Little Ah Wu shouted: "If you don't admit your mistake, there will be no chance!"
The Liu clan of Nieyang was one of the four great gentry families in Jingzhou. Tong, the village security chief, was so scared that his face turned pale, and he didn't care to think too much, hurriedly knelt in front of Wang Yang: "The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, offended the young master, please forgive me!"
The two subordinates also hurriedly knelt down.
Du Sanye still didn't believe it. He clearly found someone to investigate and confirmed that there was only Wang Tai in Jingzhou, so he dared to do it. He arched his hands to Yu Yuling: "May I ask if this young master is from the Yu clan of Xinye?"
Yu Yuling glanced at Du Sanye: "Who are you?"
Wang Yang didn't wait for Du Sanye to speak, and said half-jokingly: "A money lender, got a madness, suspected that we were impersonating gentry, and called Luozhu to catch people."
Du Sanye just wanted to refute, saying that he only suspected Wang Yang alone, but suddenly thought, maybe this newcomer is also fake, and the two are working together!
No!
The Liu clan of Nieyang used a cart to send the two of them. If they were not gentry, how could the Commandery School send a cart?
The identity of the Yu clan of Xinye can be checked in the household registration of the provincial government and cannot be faked publicly. Looking at this person's dress, maybe he is a student of the Yu family who entered the Commandery School?
Yu Yuling said to Wang Yang: "Brother Wang is a guest, let the younger brother handle this little matter."
Wang Yang nodded his permission.
Yu Yuling didn't look at Du Sanye either, and walked to the Luozhu: "Are you the local Luozhu?"
Opening his mouth with prestige, completely different from the scholar appearance when discussing learning with Wang Yang earlier.
"Yes, the little one is the Luozhu of Ying Village!" Tong Luozhu said immediately.
"Belonging to Jiangling County?"
"Yes, yes." Tong Luozhu began to sweat.
"I now suspect that these people are colluding with mountain bandits. You take them back and interrogate them. I will submit a post to Wu Lü."
Good guy, this is using his own way to treat his own body!
He suspected that I was not a gentry, so I suspected that he was a mountain bandit. Gentry do not prove themselves, this move is not bad. Wang Yang secretly summarized.
Wu Lü is the name of the Jiangling County Magistrate. Tong Luozhu heard this Yu young master call his superior's name directly, and he felt even more afraid. But the problem is that this Du Sanye has a great background, how dare he catch him?!
He can't afford to offend either side!
Just as he was in a dilemma, Du Sanye smiled: "Young Master Yu, don't be anxious. If you want to catch people, don't you ask who I am?"
Yu Yuling said naturally: "I asked, you didn't say."
"I am the owner of the Guangyuan Mansion, surnamed Du."
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the warehouse for storing money and goods is called "Di." Large usurers generally have exclusive warehouses for their lending and receiving collateral, also known as "Pawnshops." And the four words "Guangyuan Mansion" are very famous in Jingzhou.
Where did Yu Yuling know, he raised his eyebrows and said: "So what?"
"This family owes money and doesn't pay it back, I am here to collect the debt." Du Sanye put the contract in front of Yu Yuling and stopped mentioning the suspicion of identity.
As if there was a tacit understanding, Yu Yuling didn't mention catching people either, but glanced at the contract and said: "We brought the money."
If he were a hot-headed youth, he might have brought up again the matter of letting the Tong Luozhu arrest people. But Wang Yang saw that the situation was unusual, so he did not press further, only throwing a bag of money onto the ground and saying:
"Du San'er, I brought the money, you count it, exactly thirteen thousand two hundred coins. But you are not credible, you agreed on three days later, why did you come to the door so early?"
Being called Du San by the Langya Wang clan, Du Sanye could only grit his teeth and endure. He looked at the money bag on the ground and said: "Please two young masters to talk outside the door."
Wang Yang said: "If you have something to say, say it here."
"Some words want to be said to the two young masters alone." Du Sanye cupped his hands at the two and walked out of the door.
Wang Yang and Yu Yuling looked at each other and simply followed.
Unexpectedly, after going out, Du Sanye put his posture very low, first bowed and apologized to Wang Yang, his attitude was extremely sincere, and proposed to invite Wang Yang to dinner to apologize. Wang Yang laughed: "What kind of play are you singing?"
"May I ask what is the relationship between Young Master Wang and this family of the strong man?"
"What's wrong?"
"Young Master's status is noble, what is the relationship with these humble people, why bother to pay back the money for them?"
Wang Yang was a little alert: "You are a money lender, someone pays back the money, you should be happy, why bother to care whose money this is? Could it be that you don't want the money?"
Du Sanye's face changed, not expecting Wang Yang to be so sensitive, just because of one sentence, he became suspicious, and immediately denied: "I do business, of course I want to make money, just don't want to offend the young master because of this."
Wang Yang said coldly: "Then take the money and roll."
He knew that to deal with such a villain, he must not show weakness. Only by treating himself as a real Langya Wang clan can he dispel his psychology of "counterattack."
A fierce light flashed in Du Sanye's eyes, and he didn't speak again, bowed to Wang Yang and Yu Yuling, and returned to the house to take the money, and left with his men.
"Wait!" Wang Yang reached out to block the road: "Leave the contract."
Du Sanye put the paper contract into Wang Yang's hand, looked at Wang Yang, and left in a hurry.
Yu Yuling looked at the backs of Du Sanye and the others, and reminded Wang Yang: "Although this person's status is humble, he cannot be underestimated. His daughter was originally a singing girl in the Prince of Luling's Mansion, the third son of the Emperor, and was later taken as a concubine by the Prince of Luling. Guangyuan Mansion was established in the first year of Yongming when the Prince of Luling was the Inspector of Jingzhou. It is said that the real owner behind this is the Prince of Luling."
Have a Prince as a backer?
No wonder that Tong Luozhu was so afraid of him. ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
