Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

During the process of reproducing woolen cloth, Lin Yi kept an eye on

Some of the villagers who were separated built warehouses to prevent anyone from burning the fruits of their labor.

Being busy, Lin Yi did not rush to the Hong family to get back the five hundred taels.

He was busy and didn't go, but Hong Xuejiao did intend to hide it.

But no matter how well something is hidden, it will eventually come to light.

A few days later, when the Hong family's servant was packing up, he suddenly found an IOU beside Hong Xuejiao's bed.

It was written that Hong Xuejiao owed Lin Yi five hundred taels.

The servant was illiterate and thought it was some important proof, so he handed the IOU to Hong Xuanji.

"Why is my daughter in debt?"

Hong Xuanji stared at the words above. It was written by Hong Xuejiao and signed and sealed. It was also a formal thing!

He immediately asked the servant to go and find Hong Xuejiao.

A moment later, Hong Xuejiao walked in happily holding Liu Yu's hand.

"Dad, what do you want from me?"

Hong Xuejiao smiled, thinking that her father wanted her to marry Liu Yu.

But Hong Xuanji had a stern face and a frown between his brows.

"When did you borrow money from Lin Yi?"

Hong Xuanji's dull voice startled the two of them.

"I do not have……"

Hong Xuejiao was about to explain when she saw an IOU on the table.

"Lin Yi forced me to do this!"

"he bullies me!"

She immediately sat down with a sad face.

"what happened?"

Seeing his daughter sad, Hong Xuanji thought that he might have wronged her and his attitude became much calmer.

"He's holding a grudge and blackmailing me!"

Hong Xuejiao cried, "He's such a heartless guy. He's probably squandered all the money you gave him!"

Hong Xuanji was full of doubts. With Lin Yi's personality, he would never do such a bad thing.

"If he had no money, he could have asked me for it. How could he possibly blackmail you?"

He spoke slowly, his eyes turning to Liu Yu, "Is he doing something bad?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Uncle, I can prove that it was Lin Yi who deliberately blackmailed Xue Jiao!"

Liu Yu swore solemnly, distorted the events of the previous few days, and pretended to be innocent.

"Where is he now?"

With the mystery still unsolved in his mind, he decided to go and find it himself.

Anyway, the next business trip won’t leave for a few days.

"Niujia Village."

Hong Xuejiao slowly uttered three words with a reluctant look on her face.

"Going right now."

Hong Xuanji slammed the table and stood up, "You two come together."

After that, the three of them left Liangzhou City and headed towards Niujia Village.

When we got nearby, we saw that Niujia Village was bustling with activity.

It’s not that Hong Xuanji hasn’t been to Niujia Village before, but Niujia Village is no longer what it used to be.

The workshop built in the middle of the village and the pile of wool on the side really confused him.

Niujia Village is not rich, but it is not so busy either.

With doubts in his mind, he walked inside.

When the villagers passing by saw Hong Xuejiao and Liu Yu, they were furious and asked angrily, "Are you here to pay back the money?"

"What's the repayment?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Hong Xuejiao argued cunningly.

"Didn't you promise to pay back the money in court that day?"

"Yes, you wrote the IOU yourself!"

……

As several villagers discussed, many villagers gathered together.

"You unruly people!"

"It's obvious that Lin Yi is just taking advantage of the situation in court!"

Liu Yu also followed suit and made excuses.

"My name is Hong Xuanji. I've done business here before."

"Could you tell me what happened?"

Hong Xuanji took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "I was doing business outside before and haven't heard about what happened here."

The villagers started talking at once, and the noise was noisy.

He didn't understand anything at all. He only knew something about woolen cloth and fire.

When Lin Yi heard the noise at the village entrance, he brought Xiaomei there.

"Boss Lin is here!"

After hearing just one word from the villagers behind, these villagers all made way for Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, what's going on with this IOU?"

When he saw Lin Yi, Hong Xuanji immediately took out the IOU.

"Boss Hong..."

"This story started a few days ago."

Lin Yi said calmly, "If you are not in a hurry, please come in and talk."

He didn't want to care about Hong Xuejiao and Liu Yu, but Hong Xuanji had done him a favor, so he had to treat him with courtesy.

As they spoke, the three of them entered Lin Yi's house.

Lin Yi took out a piece of cloth and said, "Although I have no relationship with the Hong family anymore, I am very grateful for your help in the past."

"This piece of cloth was woven in my Niujia Village and is specially given to you."

"Have a heart."

Hong Xuanji smiled slightly and took the cloth.

He had a smile on his face, but he was very confused in his heart.

What kind of fabric is this? It's surprisingly soft, and its warmth retention is just as good as those mink furs...

"Then I'll get down to business."

"A few days ago, Hong Xuejiao and Liu Yu had a picnic nearby and set fire to the woolen cloth made in our village."

Lin Yi took out the IOU he had on him and said, "This is the ruling made by the prefect on that day in court."

"Wool?"

"How could it be five hundred taels?"

Hong Xuanji frowned, feeling that Lin Yi had changed.

Who did you learn this cheating and deceiving from?

"that is!"

"Dad is very understanding. How could woolen cloth cost so much money?"

Hong Xuejiao immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "You are the one who deliberately blackmailed me!"

"If you hadn't been a bully in court, how could the prefect have twisted right and wrong?"

Liu Yu just felt that he had a backer and could act recklessly again.

"The price of woolen cloth here is one ounce of silver for one zhang."

"You two burned five hundred feet of my woolen cloth!"

Lin Yi snorted coldly, "Boss Hong, you should have a clear account."

"I mean, wool is not valuable to begin with, and if you make cloth out of it, it's also not valuable."

Hong Xuanji spoke slowly, touching the cloth given by Lin Yi, "Business must be done with integrity, not with inflated prices."

"that is!"

"It's just a few copper coins, a few ounces of silver, who are you trying to cheat?"

Liu Yu just opened his mouth, but was scolded by Hong Xuanji, "Shut up, I'm asking!"

After a sound, Liu Yu lowered his head and fell silent.

"Boss Hong, you're doing business abroad, so you might not know the current situation in Liangzhou."

"Today, woolen cloth costs one ounce of silver for one zhang."

Lin Yi explained slowly, "These woolen cloths are to be sent to the border."

"frontier?"

"Are you in the munitions business?"

Hong Xuanji was startled and suppressed his saliva. "Military supplies are closely related to the survival of the army. How can you charge such an inflated price?"

"The Lin Yi I know is not this kind of swindler!"

Hong Xuanji suddenly felt a little angry, as if he had misjudged him, "When did you become so greedy for money that you even want to harm the army?"

"If the soldiers at the border are harmed by your worthless so-called woolen cloth, how will you be held responsible?"

His words were so righteous that even Hong Xuejiao started to sneer, "Daddy, don't bother with him! He's just a blackmailer! I told you so!"

"Boss Hong, would you like to touch the cloth in your hand again?"
