The prince of love, the wealth has come to me
Chapter 126 The Drama Team Comes to Collect Debts
When everyone arrived, the people from the palace had just arrived slowly.
The one who performed with Ling Yueqing on the stage this time was Yang Xiao, a young guard in the palace.
Or you can call him Captain Yang Xiao of the Imperial Guard, because not long ago, he was appointed as the captain of the fourth team of the Imperial Guard.
Yang Xiao was wearing ordinary everyday clothes, hiding his former cleverness, with a look of simplicity and honesty written all over his face.
Holding an IOU in his hand, he timidly went up to the door and knocked on it to collect the debt.
After the door opened, a servant walked out arrogantly. Perhaps he was annoyed at being disturbed, and his tone was very bad.
"Who are you? What do you do? Stay away from here, this is the Imperial Censorate, not everyone can come here!"
"I am from the Zhan Palace, and I am here to collect a debt..."
"You? You dare to pretend to be someone from the palace? Get away from here as far away as possible, or I'll report you to the police and have you arrested!" The servant said with disdain.
He turned around and went back to his house, muttering as he walked, "I'm really poor and crazy. I've even managed to cheat the Censorate."
With a bang, the door was slammed shut.
Yang Xiao looked back and realized that the effect he wanted had almost been achieved.
More and more people came. Those who came later asked those who came earlier, "Why is there only one person standing there? Why hasn't anyone come out?"
The first person who came had an expression that said, "I know everything." "You don't know, but someone just came out. Guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Hey, he didn't admit it and even scolded the guy."
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Yang Xiao cleared his throat, as if to give himself courage.
He said loudly, "I am really from the Zhan Palace, not pretending. Your Second Miss Jiang owed our princess two thousand taels of silver in the palace, and she said she would pay it back after leaving the palace."
"But now several days have passed and there is still no movement. I am afraid you have forgotten, so I am here to remind you. You can check the IOU written in black and white."
The person inside the door listened to the noisy noise outside and impatiently called a few people over. He looked fierce and was ready to teach him a lesson. But when he opened the door, he was shocked.
It took me a while to react, but after a moment, a group of people gathered at the door.
Yang Xiao said with a look of surprise, "But have you verified it? Do you believe what I said?"
The servant also restrained himself a little at this time. If he lost face for the Censorate in front of everyone, he would be in big trouble.
So he asked, "You said you were from the Zhan Wang Mansion, why aren't you wearing the clothes of the Zhan Wang Mansion?"
"I am not afraid that if I come to collect debts wearing the clothes of the Zhan Palace, others will mistakenly think that there is a fight between our Zhan Palace and the Yushi Palace. That's why I deliberately came here in a low profile. I just didn't expect..."
Yang Xiao hesitated and said only half of what he was saying, but everyone present understood.
The servant was speechless for a moment, and after a while he managed to say, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and check it out, and then get back to you."
"Thank you for your trouble." Yang Xiao appeared polite on the surface, but he was gloating in his heart.
He had found out everything. The Censor had gone to the temple with his wife and daughter to burn incense and was not at home. They would probably not make such an embarrassing thing public.
Sure enough, not long after, the servant came out in a heroic and confident voice, "I have verified that our Yushi Mansion does not owe anyone money. You are a liar!"
Just now he entered the mansion and after a look around he only found the old lady, but the old lady didn't know about this matter either, so she asked him to calm the visitor down first and wait for Censor Jiang and others to come back to verify before taking any action.
But the servant automatically believed that this did not happen. In his opinion, their Censor Jiang was extremely filial and would tell the old lady everything. If the old lady didn't know, then it didn't happen.
Thinking of this, he straightened his back even more and waved his hand, "Beat him up and throw him out!"
Everyone was just about to take action.
A voice came from behind.
"Wait." Everyone looked over and saw Ling Yueqing gracefully walking out of an exquisite carriage next to them.
They were so busy watching the fun that they didn't even notice there was a carriage.
"Who are you? Are you in cahoots with him?" The servant had never seen Ling Yueqing before, and asked in a fierce tone.
Before Ling Yueqing could say anything, some people among the people who had seen Ling Yueqing reacted.
"This is Princess Zhan!"
"Yes, it's the princess. I've seen her!"
So everyone knelt on the ground in a huge crowd, "The humble people pay their respects to the princess!"
"Everyone, get up quickly." Ling Yueqing spoke softly.
"This princess didn't want to show up. It's not a glorious thing to owe money, let alone to such a powerful person."
"I thought that Second Miss Jiang must not have not returned it on purpose, but she was too busy with work to remember it, so I thought of reminding you in a low-key way. I didn't expect that you would deny it, and I was even scolded..."
Seeing Ling Yueqing's tearful expression, everyone's hearts leaned towards her.
"What kind of things can a lady from a wealthy family be busy with? How could she be so busy that she forgot to pay back the money?"
"That's right. I never thought that a young lady from the Imperial Censorate would actually owe money and not pay it back!"
"I owed my neighbor three cents for groceries, and I couldn't sleep that night because of it. I got up early the next morning and paid it back."
At this time, the servant and several people behind him were so frightened that they could not stand up, and their whole bodies were shaking like sieves.
He stammered and explained, "I…I…did not mean to scold…Princess. I…I just…did not recognize the great man. I hope Princess will…spare my life."
Ling Yueqing didn't respond to his words. She stepped forward and took the IOU from Yang Xiao, saying with a sad face, "This princess believes that the Second Miss Jiang must not have owed the money on purpose. Maybe Censor Jiang is honest and upright, and the mansion doesn't have so much money..."
"Oh, that's not right. Miss Jiang would never write an IOU when she has no money to pay it back. Isn't it a bad character to say that she will pay it back..."
"It must be that I didn't rest well recently and my memory was wrong. This IOU might have been written by me when I was sleepwalking."
Ling Yueqing simply tore up the IOU and threw it in front of the door of Censor Jiang's residence.
"Let's leave it at that. Excuse me, let's go."
When passing by the crowd, Ling Yueqing did not forget to show concern and said, "Let's forget about today's matter. I would like to ask everyone to bear witness to today's matter."
"Today's weather is too hot, the sun is very strong, everyone should go home quickly to avoid getting a heat stroke. You can go to [Fragrant Ten Miles] to have a glass of iced lemonade to quench your thirst, and just put it on the palace account."
Everyone stared in amazement as Ling Yueqing staggered onto the train, until the sound of "Go!" was heard and everyone came to their senses.
