Yi Country Duke's residence.
Li Dun looked at the rusty door and frowned slightly.
Compared to Li Jing's dilapidated and preposterous mansion, Qin Qiong's mansion looked much more pleasing to the eye. One could tell with a glance that he was really down and out right now.
It didn't make sense…
Li Dun fell into deep thought. Qin Qiong was the Duke of the Great Tang after all. How could he be in such a state?
In the group, Zhao Kuangyin said,[This Tang Empire is somewhat different from the history books. I'm afraid Qin Qiong's family really doesn't have much money.]”
Li Dun nodded slightly. He also felt that way. Otherwise, it would not make sense.
Liu Bang: " That's a little troublesome. If he's really poor, it's useless even if you play dirty."”
Ying Zheng: A living person can still suffocate to death. Group leader, I'll teach you a way. Once Ha enters and there's something scattered, move it! If it doesn't seem to be enough, you can ask him to write a contract and sell himself to repay the debt!!”
Liu Bang was speechless.
Zhao Kuangyin was speechless.
"..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Nurhachi was speechless.
"How am I that kind of person?"”
At this moment, a dispute sounded from the mansion.
A middle-aged man with bronze skin and an ashen face was wearing a purple robe. He was holding the reins of a black horse as he walked out of the manor in an aggressive manner.
Behind him, an old butler who was also wearing a purple robe but was obviously a little worn out hugged his strong back and strong waist as he cried,
"Duke, you can't!"
"Let go!" Qin Qiong struggled angrily.”
"This old servant won't give up. The High Duke only owes the Imperial Court more than 300,000 strings of money. The High Duke has done his best for the Imperial Court and has been exhausted. All the money has been used to treat his illness, and he isn't squandering it wantonly. Why should we force the High Duke to sell his horse?”
"What's the use of saying this to me?”
"Do you think I want to sell it?" Qin Qiong said angrily. Didn't he have no money? This old man has always been upright and upright. It's not worth it to give up my life's worth to that little bastard for the sake of the debt owed by the Imperial Court!”
"..."
What was the meaning of this?
At this moment, Qin Qiong also saw Li Dun, who was dressed in a light golden robe and had his hair tied behind his head. She was slightly stunned. She let go of the reins and walked over to ask suspiciously,
"You are the Ninth Prince?"
Li Dun nodded silently.
"Yi Nation Duke Qin Qiong greets Your Highness the Ninth Prince.”
Qin Qiong hurriedly took a few steps back and bowed respectfully. He immediately raised his head and said with a hesitant expression,"Your Highness, are you here to collect your debt?"
Honest people were straightforward.
Li Dun sighed." You don't have money, do you?”
" How can I not have money!!"
Qin Qiong seemed to have been pricked by a needle. He turned around and pointed at the black horse with bright fur. His face flushed red as he said loudly,
"Isn't there a horse here? Just you wait, this old man will sell it now and give the money to His Highness to pay off the debt to the Imperial Court!”
"You owe a lot, a total of 387,600 strings.”
"How much did you pay for this horse?" asked Li Dun hesitantly.”
"Your Highness, this is a treasured horse bestowed by the emperor. It's priceless!" Qin Qiong said.”
"You dare to sell a royal horse?"
"Are you crazy from being poor?" Li Dun held his forehead and said.”
In the emperor chat group.
"(▽) Isn't he crazy poor?!"”
"Honest people are like this. They have no choice but to be forced."”
Ying Zheng: "[× `Д ×] His name is Sa Qinqiong. I don't like this name. It sounds like he came from a poor family. He should be called Qin Fu. I guarantee that he will rise to great heights!”
Liu Bang was speechless.
Zhao Kuangyin was speechless.
"..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Nurhachi was speechless.
Outside the Yi Duke mansion, Qin Qiong's face was about to turn purple. He also wanted to return the money, but he had no money. He had already thrown all the money into the medicine jar and eaten it, so how could he have any spare money?
He still owed the housekeeper two years of salary.
The old butler looked like he was worried about him selling the horse, but only Qin Qiong knew that the butler was actually worried about himself. He was afraid that Qin Qiong would not be able to pay him if he sold the horse. Then, who would he reason with?
" Besides," said Ying Zheng," whether it looks like an imperial horse or not, can such a horse be worth all this money?! Look at his muscles and muscles. He seems to be good material for performing arts. If he can't afford to pay back the money, let him go out and perform to pay back the money!”
Li Dun's heart skipped a beat. If that was the case, it would be in line with his thoughts.
"Qin Yi Gong, I have an idea!”
Li Dun stared at Qin Qiong and said with a solemn expression,""Actually, it's not like you have no way to pay back 300,000 strings.”
"How?" Qin Qiong was stunned.”
"Using a horse to pay off the debt is a bad idea.”
Li Dun walked into the Yi State Duke's mansion by himself. When he reached the hall, he found a few tables with brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. He slowly sat behind them and opened the paper with his palm. He said in a calm tone,
"I have a plan that will allow you to stop worrying about the debt.”
With that, he wrote down three big words.
A contract to sell oneself!
In the emperor chat group.
"What did this kid just say?" He's not that kind of person?"
Ying Zheng,[This is called a wise man who understands the times!]”
At this moment, Qin Qiong stared blankly at the three big words," Selling oneself contract." He saw that after Li Dun finished writing the three words, he continued to write them in small letters.
Soon, Li Dun put down his pen and blew at the ink that had not dried yet. He raised his head and looked at Qin Qiong with a serious expression. He handed him a pen and said,
"Qin Yi Gong, if you sign this, you will no longer have anything to do with the debt owed by the Imperial Court.”
"You have to think carefully. This is your last chance.”
Li Dun stood up and walked in front of Qin Qiong, who was slightly taller than him. He stared at him without blinking and said,
"This time, I came out to collect everyone's debt, not even one less person. Whoever doesn't pay it back is going against me.”
"This contract is only for ten years.”
"After ten years, you will regain your freedom.”
"Don't talk about how much you can earn in ten years. That's a matter for the future, not now. The most important thing for you now is how to pay off the debt to the Imperial Court. If you don't pay off the debt, you will embarrass me.”
Under Li Dun's soft and hard tone, Qin Qiong pondered for a long time before clenching her teeth and writing her name on the paper with the indwelling contract.
After Li Dun put away the contract, he waved his hand and said,""See you later."
With that, he walked out of the manor.
Qin Qiong looked up at the ceiling with a blank expression. He was selling himself just like that? Sold 387,600 strings in ten years?!
This deal was a loss no matter how one looked at it!
But if he didn't do this, he wouldn't have the money to pay back the debt!
At this moment, the old butler's anxious voice sounded in his ears,""Duke, His Highness the Ninth Prince has left with his horse!!”
"Ninth Prince, stop right there!”
Qin Qiong's expression changed drastically, and he chased after her as if he was flying.
Hearing the voice coming from behind him, Li Dun, who was holding the reins and leaving with his imperial horse, could not help but pause. He turned around and asked in puzzlement,"What's wrong?"
"This horse…"
"You want to take him away too?" Qin Qiong asked with a conflicted expression.”
Li Dun sighed and said with a serious expression,""This item is confiscated."
At this moment, in the Emperor's chat group.
"Group Leader, what's the point of him signing a contract?" What can Qin Qiong do?"
"Can he make you rich?"”
Li Dun smiled and sent a message,"He can't make money, but he can help me get back the money Li Jing owes me!"”
Liu Bang,[(⊙o⊙) How?]”
Ying Zheng said," Group Leader, I have an idea. Bring Qin Qiong to Li Jing's house. If Li Jing doesn't pay up, you can beat Qin Qiong up. Look at his muscles, he can withstand your beating!" This was called knocking the mountain to scare the tiger. If Li Jing still did not pay up, his head would explode!”
