After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

"He's lived for over twenty years. Apart from getting into trouble and squandering money, has he ever done anything right?"

"It's also because of your mother's doting."

"Don't worry, I don't want this son, and I won't want yours either."

"Since you love him so much, you should just live with him."

Mrs. Hong was struck by lightning and could not believe what she heard. "Master, you, you want to divorce me?"

Master Hong ignored her and looked at the debt collectors. "If you want to find someone, look for this mother and son. I won't help these evil creatures pay back a single penny."

"Master Hong, you can't just refuse to return it." The young man in the lead had a particularly arrogant attitude.

"You have fifty acres of good land to your name, which is just enough to pay off the debt owed by your legitimate son."

Mr. Hong is not stupid and he knows very well that these people are coming for his family's fertile land.

"You're dreaming! I'd never sell the land even if I die."

The young man in the lead, upon hearing this, placed his stick on his shoulder and said, "You're really seeking death. I must help you."

"Who are you going to help?" The eighth prince, who had been watching the show for a long time, stood up and looked at the group of debt collectors coldly.

It was okay for gambling houses to collect debts, but lending money at high interest rates was illegal and strictly prohibited by the imperial court.

"Who the hell are you?" the young man in the lead was extremely arrogant. "How dare you meddle in my business?"

"I am the eighth child in my family, and my father is the current emperor." The eighth prince said slowly.

The young man in the lead was about to laugh, but he slumped to his knees and said, "It's the Eighth Prince."

He instantly changed into a flattering look, "We are also here to collect debts..."

"Whether it's debt collection or forced buying and selling, I can see it clearly." The eighth prince was used to seeing all kinds of people.

"Just because your master lent money at high interest, the emperor will not let him off easily."

Behind gambling houses like this, there are always big families backing them, and the backers are families with real power.

There is nothing wrong with opening a gambling house itself. What is problematic is the method of collecting debts and lending money at high interest rates.

The young man in the lead never expected that he would meet the Eighth Prince here.

Although the Eighth Prince was an unfavored prince, he was still the Emperor's biological son, and by chance he learned about the usury.

If the emperor really knew about this, there would be no chance of them surviving.

"Eighth Prince, you heard wrongly. How could we possibly lend money at high interest rates? Our debt collection methods are just a bit drastic."

The Eighth Prince looked down at him and said, "You don't need to explain. I will report this to the Emperor within today."

"Whether your master is looking for a scapegoat or shirking responsibility, the emperor would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go."

Once usury is not prohibited, countless families will lend money secretly, and many families will take advantage of others to borrow money at usury.

As a result, countless families will be broken up and countless people will sell their children.

The leading young man suddenly raised his head and threatened, "Eighth Prince, your position is there, so it's better not to interfere in some matters."

The Eighth Prince kicked him over, his eyes like knives, "Threatening me?"

"very good."

"I will report this to the Emperor immediately."

"Catch them!"

Before he finished speaking, two secret guards appeared and tied up all the debt collectors.

"Thank you, Eighth Prince, for saving me." Master Hong hurried forward and bowed to express his gratitude.

"If the Eighth Prince hadn't happened to pass by today, I would have been killed."

He knew this kind of debt collection, and if he failed to collect the debt, it would cost someone's life.

The Eighth Prince waved his hand to indicate that it was all right. "Are you going to sell your land?"

"My friend wants to buy some land."

"If you don't want to sell it, you can also introduce someone who wants to sell it to me."

After some thought, Mr. Hong decided to sell all the land and move his family to another place.

Not only is Rongdu full of powerful people, but something like this has happened in his family. Even if the boss behind the gambling house is arrested, his family will not have a good life.

It would be better to sell all the land and move the family to a smaller town, where life would be better.

"Eighth Prince, my family has fifty acres of fertile land and I want to sell it all at once. I wonder if your friends would be willing to buy it together?"

The Eighth Prince thought about it for a moment and understood his intention. He was a smart man.

"How much silver are you going to ask for fifty plots of land?"

Mr. Hong did some calculations and said, "My fifty plots of land are all good farmland, and the harvest is very good every year."

"Now I am in a hurry to sell. The larger plots are twenty taels of silver a piece, and the smaller plots are ten taels of silver a piece."

"There are thirty large plots of land and twenty small plots of land."

The eighth prince counted the silver. It was a considerable amount of silver for ordinary people. He wondered if the junior sister's family had so much silver.

"Let me take a look at your land first, and then decide whether to buy it."

Mr. Hong quickly took the Eighth Prince and several others to look at the land, not caring about his wife and legitimate son at all.

Mrs. Hong wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the servants.

She fell to the ground crying, not understanding why things turned out like this. She did so much to protect her child.

……

Under the care of Hua Yun and the Eighth Prince, Mu Baobao finished looking at Master Hong's fifty plots of land.

Although she was a little girl and didn't know much about land, she knew that these lands were very good.

The crops in many fields here are wilting, but the crops in Mr. Hong's fields are growing well, which shows that they are well cared for.

"Eighth Prince, what do you think..." Master Hong asked nervously.

The Eighth Prince and Hua Yun exchanged glances and decided to buy the land first.

These lands are all good. If you don’t buy them, you will regret it later.

Besides, there is no loss in buying the land and keeping it there.

"Master Hong, let's discuss the price." The eighth prince said with a smile.

Hua Yun did not participate in the subsequent events, but squatted on the edge of the field holding the wooden baby.

"Second brother, the crops in many fields are not in good condition." Mu Baobao said in a low voice.

Hua Yun looked up——

Some of the crops in the surrounding fields were bent by the sun and looked wilted.

In some areas, the crops have dried up and even the ground is cracked.

"This is more serious than I knew."

He touched his chin. "I remember there was spring water here, and every household had a well. How could this happen in the fields?"

"What's going on?" The eighth prince walked over and squatted down like a street urchin.

"It's settled. I've already sent the secret guards to transfer the ownership."

"Junior Sister, how many plots of land do you want? Master Hong has a farm here, and he sold one to me."

Baby Mu first stretched out three fingers, then five fingers, and then both paws.

Her little face was full of entanglement and hesitation, "Second Brother, how many plots of land should my family buy?"

"Back home, my family owns several plots of land."

Hua Yun said, "Let's buy ten first."

"I want to buy a few plots of land, both large and small. Do you want it, Zhuangzi?"
