After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Chapter 159: Collecting Silver

This person dared to say such words, which shows how arrogant the person behind him is, and also shows that he is a high and mighty person!

Xie Xuanping rushed over upon hearing the news and saw his mother leaning on a chair in a sickly manner. His father, who was unusually not sitting in the main seat, was standing facing a man who was not much taller than him, with a very gloomy face!

The culprit was kneeling on the ground, looking extremely miserable. His flashy dark purple gown was hanging on his body like a rag, and his eyes were filled with tears and snot. He was truly a disgusting sight!

Suppressing the disgust in his heart, he asked his father: "What happened?"

Xie Chen was tired and angry at this moment. He looked deeply at his wife who was always causing trouble but not getting things done: "Ask your mother!"

Lord Xie wanted to know the details, but at this critical moment, Liu Diejing was still hiding the truth and didn't want to tell it all!

Xie Xuanping's eyes narrowed. Even his father didn't quite understand, which showed that this matter had a lot to do with his mother!

He took a few steps forward and was about to ask more questions when he heard Liu Diejing suddenly raise her head and said in a sharp voice:

"Son, you should still have some money in your hand, right? And Ke'er, I gave him a lot of good things in the past. You two should gather them together and save your brother. Otherwise, if he really loses an arm or a leg, how can I live?"

Xie Xuanping stopped and looked at his mother in disbelief. He could never have imagined that his mother could be so partial to him!

"Mom, this is so confusing, and we don't know what happened yet. Please tell me the whole story so I can deal with it!"

Liu Diejing didn't know how to start. Unexpectedly, the debt collector had already become impatient and said angrily:

"If you have anything to say, wait until later. Now hurry up and pay me back, otherwise, I don't mind making a big fuss!"

At this time, Xie Chen briefly explained the situation to his son, the main thing being that the twenty-eight thousand taels of silver must be repaid!

"What? Twenty-eight thousand taels, how can it be so much? Xie Xiaolian, are you crazy? How dare you borrow money to gamble?"

Xie Xiaolian was in so much pain that he grimaced, but he did not forget to ask his father and brother:

"Dad, big brother, I don't want to be disabled, please save me, dad, big brother..."

Xie Xuanping looked at the arrogant debt collector, and then saw the two burly men who looked like door gods. He had some impression that these people seemed to be from the Sifang Gambling House.

The power behind the Sifang Casino is extremely mysterious, and no one knows the truth. All we know is that any ruffian who has offended the Sifang Casino has disappeared inexplicably. They can make people disappear without even noticing, which shows how terrifying their backstage is!

Just thinking about it makes one feel cold on the back. If the money is not paid back this time, it would be a small matter for the second brother to become disabled. If things go wrong, the Changning Marquisate may disappear in the country of Dali!

Last year, there was a mansion called Kaiyang Earl's Mansion with the surname Lu. For some reason, a disciple of his family offended the gambling houses. As a result, within a few days, something bad happened in his family!

Earl Lu, who was a third-rank official, was reported by the censor for corruption and abuse of power for personal gain. His descendants bullied men and women. The emperor was furious and ordered the confiscation of his mansion and the exile of all his descendants to the bitter cold of Lingnan!

Thinking of this, Xie Xuanping felt a sharp pain in his back teeth, and he moved closer to Lord Xie and whispered:

"Father, please let my mother gather the money quickly. Even if we have to sell our land and shops, we have to get through this first!"

Lord Xie looked at his son in surprise. Seeing his serious expression, he knew that he could not avoid this matter. He nodded, walked to his wife and said in a deep voice:

"Go and see how much cash you have at home. If it's not enough, bring out the land deed and the shop deed!"

Liu Diejing looked at Lord Xie in disbelief: "Lord, what did you say? Even if we take out all that, it won't be enough!"

You know, due to poor management over the years, some shops are barely maintaining themselves, and after selling a few shops, there is not much left of the family assets left by our ancestors!

If Su hadn’t come into the family, I’m afraid the mansion wouldn’t even be able to afford a few servants!

Xie Chen felt that this foolish woman really didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help but said angrily:

"Stupid woman, just go when I tell you to, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

At this time, Xie Xuanping walked up to the debtor and spoke gently, looking like a benevolent and elegant gentleman!

"Big brother, can we have a discussion?"

He knew his family's financial situation too well. Looking at his mother's condition, he knew that for some reason, the family had no cash left. Now, if he wanted to settle today's matter, he could only go and discuss with the creditor to use the land and shops to pay off the debts!

"You say!" The leader was quite polite to Xie Xuanping!

Xie Xuanping saw that there was something going on and said hurriedly:

"My second brother has been in a lot of trouble recently, and the family has spent a lot on him, so we don't have much cash at home. I wonder... can we use the land and shops to offset it?"

The man raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and smiled roguely:

"Sure, it's not the first time I've done this anyway, so hurry up and don't delay me from doing other things!"

At this time, tea and snacks had already been placed on the table. Xie Xuanping hurriedly ordered people to wash various fruits and serve them up, but he felt uneasy in his heart!

Liu Diejing returned to the inner room with a sad heart, took out a key from the interlayer of the dressing table, then went to the large carved bed, lifted the bedding and uncovered a bed board.

He then used the key to turn the copper lock on the upper side. With a "click" sound, the lock was opened. He took out the lock and pulled it open. It turned out to be a secret door drawer with a stack of land deeds and house deeds inside!

Liu Diejing could hear the blood gurgling in her heart, and she only hated herself for being bewitched and believing Wei Ge'er. She was not someone who could not read the Marquis's expression, and judging from the Marquis's attitude, she was bound to be unable to escape this time!

It’s a pity that that little bitch Su divorced Lan Ge’er at this critical moment. Otherwise, I would have gotten something from her no matter what!

It’s a pity that she forgot that the hole in Su Qingling’s dowry was still waiting for her!

When she thought of Su, she suddenly became more careful. She picked out the deeds with good locations from the stack and put them back. After everything was in order, she took the deeds in her hand up to the main room!

The accountant also brought over cash, but it was only eight hundred taels, which made Lord Xie dizzy and he glared at his wife fiercely!

"My Lord, I'm afraid that Brother Lan will need to help!"

Lord Xie grabbed the stack of papers and read them one by one. He had an idea in his mind and walked up to the debtor:

"Take a look first. These land deeds are worth nearly ten thousand taels. I will send someone to get them!"

The man glanced through it hastily and sneered, "Lord Xie, are you trying to trick me into believing that I don't understand? Your land and shops are really valuable. You dare to charge a deed that is worth at most seven thousand taels for ten thousand taels... How about you take it back and we don't want this debt?"

This remark gave Lord Xie a chill, and he quickly said with a smile:

"What are you talking about? I don't usually deal with these things, and I don't know the market. If you say seven thousand, then it is seven thousand!"

He took out another two hundred taels of silver from his bosom and brought over the eight hundred taels of silver: "This is one thousand taels, a total of eight thousand taels!"

Seeing that person's face suddenly darken, he hurriedly said, "Get the rest right away!"
