Song Wanyin was sitting in the herbal tea shop and heard everything clearly. She wanted to get more information, so she winked at Tiancheng.

Tian Cheng immediately understood what he meant, stood up and walked to the three people who were whispering to each other, and said politely:

"Three of you, my boss invites you over for a bowl of herbal tea. He wants to ask you something."

The three common people turned around and looked at a handsome young man sitting in the herbal tea shop. From his dress and conversation, it was enough to see that he was of extraordinary status. They all looked alert and hesitated to agree blindly.

Seeing that they were hesitant, Tian Cheng took out some change from his purse, handed it to them, and invited them again:

"Don't worry, my boss just wants to consult you about something. Can you please help me?"

The three common people were dazzled by the money and immediately agreed to follow him to the herbal tea shop. They felt a little uneasy and did not dare to sit down without permission.

Song Wanyin smiled and made a gesture of invitation:

"Don't be nervous, the three of you. Sit down and have a bowl of herbal tea to moisten your throat."

After saying that, he turned around and asked the proprietress for three more bowls of herbal tea.

One of the people, seeing that he looked kind and approachable, plucked up the courage to ask:

"Sir, what do you want to ask us?

To be honest, there are some things we don’t know much about.

I don’t know if I can help you.”

Song Wanyin smiled slightly and said:

"It's okay, I just overheard you guys talking about the Jia family in Shou'an Hall.

I happen to have a business deal that I want to do with the Jia family, and I want to learn about the Jia family’s situation from you.”

After hearing this, the three common people looked at each other in bewilderment. As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the person who gave him the favor, so they told the man the truth about what they knew.

"Sir, I suggest you not to cooperate with the Jia family, because Jia Zonglin has been so angry with his useless son that he has become ill. I don't know how long he can live."

"That's right. Did you see that dandy boy who fell to the ground? That was Jia Zonglin's only son, Jia Yuanxi. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. He is a very unreliable person."

"This Jia Yuanxi used to rely on his family's wealth to bully the weak outside, and indulged in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He had a bad reputation among the people."

Song Wanyin heard this and said puzzledly:

"I heard that Shou'an Hall has launched a new panacea called Nanxing Dan?

It also said that it can cure all diseases, so Jia Zonglin’s disease can be cured, right? "

The three civilians showed disdainful looks on their faces and started talking at once.

"Sir, the Nanxing Dan sold by Shou'an Hall this time is specifically targeting Jishidiang. It seems that Jishidiang is selling fake medicine, which has caused many patients to almost die."

"In fact, the Nanxing Pill is not as mysterious as they say. If this medicine is really a panacea, then wouldn't the world be free of disease and disaster?"

"Anyway, I just knew that Jia Zonglin couldn't even cure his own illness, so I didn't waste money buying medicine from Shou'antang. I heard that the price is ridiculously expensive."

Song Wanyin frowned slightly and listened quietly as they told the whole story of the Jia family, and got a general understanding of it.

Now, since Jia Zonglin doesn't work, he has to start with Jia Yuanxi and use him to achieve his goal.

After thanking the three common people, Song Wanyin and Tiancheng squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, just in time to see Jia Yuanxi being beaten up by two thugs. His nose and eyes were swollen and he looked extremely miserable.

"stop!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Song Wanyin, sizing him up and down with interest.

Mother Cui looked at Song Wanyin carefully, her eyes lit up, knowing that he was definitely a rich young man, and stepped forward to flatter him:

"Sir, do you know them?

If you come to Huayue Tower for pleasure, then I will naturally welcome you warmly and call the top courtesan to serve you well.

But if you intercede for them, don't blame me for not giving you face."

Song Wanyin glanced at Jia Yuanxi and said to Mother Cui:

"How much money he owes you? I will pay it back for him."

Upon hearing this, Mother Cui smiled even more brightly and handed over the thick stack of IOUs in her hand.

"Sir, he owes me nearly three thousand taels of silver in total."

When Tiancheng heard so much silver, her lips trembled. She couldn't understand why her master would clean up Jia Yuanxi's mess.

That’s a full three thousand taels of silver!

Generally speaking, a prodigal son like Jia Yuanxi should be made to suffer a little to curb his arrogance.

Song Wanyin said coldly:

"Let him go first, and I'll pay you."

Mother Cui immediately came forward with a smile on her face, personally helped Jia Yuanxi up, and considerately brushed off the dirt on his body, and used a silk handkerchief to wipe the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Master Jia, if you had paid me back the money you owe me sooner, I wouldn't have to fight you.

Now we are even, you are welcome to visit Huayue Tower anytime."

Jia Yuanxi was beaten so hard that he could hardly stand. He felt like his internal organs were about to be shattered, and he started coughing violently:

"Ahem, ahem, get out of here, don't get close to me."

Seeing that he had a bad temper, Mother Cui did not take it to heart when she thought about getting the silver. Instead, she turned around and went to Song Wanyin with a smile to get the silver.

"Sir, whether you want to give me silver directly or in banknotes, I am fine with both."

Song Wanyin winked at Tiancheng, and Tiancheng reluctantly took out his purse, intending to take out a few banknotes from it.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yuanxi looked at the two unfamiliar faces with a wary look, and said without any appreciation:

“I don’t need you to pay back the debt I owe.

I don't know you, so how can I know what you are thinking?"

Tian Cheng didn't want to help him pay off his debts in the first place, but when she heard this, she lost her temper and angrily shouted:

"You really don't know what's good for you!

My boss wanted to make friends with you with good intentions, but you are so ignorant.

Well, if you are so courageous, then let these thugs beat you to death."

Seeing that he dared to speak to him in such a tone, Jia Yuanxi gnashed his teeth and said:

"Can you try to say it again?

Although I am a playboy, I am not stupid. You must be harboring a lot of bad intentions.

Stay wherever it’s cool. "

When Mother Cui saw that the silver she had received had disappeared without a trace, she became extremely anxious and stepped forward to block Jia Yuanxi's way.

"You can't leave. When can you pay back all the money?"

Jia Yuanxi glared at her angrily, spat out a mouthful of blood and said:

"I will definitely return the money to you tomorrow. If you dare to block my way again, you will never get the money in your lifetime!"

Song Wanyin looked at Jia Yuanxi's embarrassed back as he limped away, and thought that given his personality, he would definitely come again tomorrow, so she might as well just sit back and wait.

She was certain in her heart that Jia Yuanxi would not be able to come up with the money, as the saying goes, a penny can suffocate a hero.
