After hearing the servant's report, several people looked at each other. Obviously they all knew the current embarrassment of the Liu family. At this time, Jinyu Merchant came to collect debts, which made the Liu family even worse.

Liu Shan's face was even more ugly. He had previously won more than 20,000 gold coins from Wang Kang in his own gambling house, so the principal he had planned to open a cloth shop was gone.

Then he borrowed 20,000 gold coins from the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce to open a cloth shop. Later, Dong Qian bribed He An to bring purple dyeing ingredients.

In order to do something big, he borrowed another 20,000 yuan from the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce and invested all of it in Buzhuang.

He thought he could make a lot of money and pay it back as soon as possible, so he didn't borrow the money for a long time, but in the end he was tricked by Wang Kang and lost everything.

He also owed 20,000 yuan in compensation from merchants in the Western Regions.

Later, he sold a batch of raw silk to Wang Kang at a low price, and sold the land and real estate in the western suburbs, and finally paid back the money from the merchants in the Western Regions.

Before Rujin could sit down, the debt collector came again. Liushan frowned. After a while, he sighed helplessly and said: "Bring him in!"

Paying back debts is a matter of course, and you can't afford to let it go.

"Haha, Master Liu, I thought you wouldn't see me?" Not long after, there was a burst of laughter from outside the door.

Then a handsome young man about thirty years old walked in. He was none other than Li Ping, the deacon of the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce!

"Deacon Li is joking. You can come to my house as a guest. I haven't had time to welcome you, so how could I miss you?" Liu Shan stood up and greeted you with a smile.

The sad look on his face just now is gone.

"It's hard to believe what Master Liu said," Li Ping said with a smile, "In my opinion, I should be the second person you don't want to see now."

"Second?" Liu Shan asked subconsciously, "Then who is first?"

"Of course it's the prodigal young master from the Earl's Mansion!" Li Ping said with a smile and sat down without any politeness.

Hearing this, Liu Shan's expression changed and he said immediately: "Since Deacon Li knows the current predicament of my Liu family, can you be lenient..."

"No!" Before Liu Shan could finish speaking, Li Ping interrupted directly.

Liu Shan's face suddenly became ugly, and his eyes narrowed, "Is it possible that Deacon Li doesn't give Liu time to collect savings? My Liu family still has a lot of fertile land, but it always takes time to sell it."

"Fertile land?" Li Ping said with a surprised smile: "Master Liu and I don't have to play this trick. Your Liu family still doesn't have fertile land now. I'm afraid there will be no waste land!"

After hearing this, Liu Shan looked at Li Ping blankly. It turned out that he came to the door prepared.

Then he said again: "I can't take out that much money at the moment. At worst, I'll have to pay more interest if it's overdue!"

"If you don't have money, you can use real estate to pay off debts, such as your Liu family's Li Chun Garden, Zui Xian Ju..."

Li Ping looked around, "Or maybe it's this house!"

"You..." Liu Shan was immediately furious. The properties Li Ping mentioned were the foundation of the Liu family, so how could they be used to pay off debts!

Liu Shan sat down, looked directly at Li Ping and said coldly: "It seems that Deacon Li doesn't give Liu any face. You must know that you are not the only chamber of commerce in Yangzhou City, there are also Datong Chamber of Commerce and Yulong Chamber of Commerce!" "

"The worst case scenario is that I will repay you the loan from the other two families, but then the relationship between us will be severed. My Liu family has the support of the governor, so it will not be difficult for me to rise again!"

Liu Shan's tone was cold, "Deacon Li, don't let a small thing cost you a big thing!"

"Haha!" Li Ping burst out laughing after hearing this.

Liu Shan said with an unkind expression: "Why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at you for being confused!" Li Ping said again: "You can go to the other two chambers of commerce and see if they can lend it to you?"

"As for the Governor's support? Are you really too naive to end up like this? Do you think the Governor will still care about you?"

"I won't say much to you," Li Ping held out a finger and said calmly: "I'll give you one more day to send the money over one day later, or I will bring someone to collect your property!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked directly out the door, "By the way, let me give you another piece of advice!" He stopped and said again: "Don't go against Master Kang anymore, you are not... my opponent!"

"You..." After hearing this, Liu Shan immediately grabbed another teacup and threw it to the ground angrily. This was a real critical blow to him and a great irony!

At this moment, a painting boat floated on the Luo River. The boat was not big, but it was extremely luxurious.

The carved railings at the stern echo the carvings in the cabin and bow, and there are reliefs of auspicious clouds around the hull, adding a rich and gorgeous temperament to the entire ship.

Wang Kang was sitting on the bow of the boat, with Tang Qingyi holding his shoulders behind him, Xiao Tao sitting at the bottom and holding his legs, and Li Qingman sitting next to him, feeding him precious fruits one by one.

Painted boat, beauties, sightseeing.

"Master, why did you name that wine Dukang wine and put the word "du" in front of "kang"? You provided the recipe for that wine!" Tang Qingyi asked doubtfully.

"What about this?" Wang Kang stretched out his mouth to take the fruit handed over by Li Qingman, chewed it carefully and then said: "Du Yuanqiao is now under my command, and he is responsible for the winemaking and Shangri-La...

"

"Besides, this can be regarded as the promise I made to him at that time, to give him the reputation of Du Shijiu. As for my name, what's the difference?"

"However, the words you said are really good. Du Kang is the only one who can relieve my worries." Tang Qingyi said with a smile.

“Speaks of the essence of wine!”

"That's natural." Wang Kang laughed.

"The scenery of the Luohe River in the company of a beautiful woman is beautiful! The people are even more beautiful!"

After hearing this, Li Qingman rolled his eyes at him, "I think you enjoy it more than the emperor now!"

"Emperor? How can sitting as emperor be so comfortable? It's better to be a prodigal son comfortably!" Wang Kang said with a smile: "As long as the Liu family is destroyed, everything will be fine, and I can be my prodigal son with peace of mind."

"However, there is one person who needs to be dealt with before that," Wang Kang said, turning his head and looking at the corner of the cabin.

"What do you think? Tong Yue?"

"Yes, yes! What Master Kang said is of course absolutely right."

Tong Yue in the corner of the cabin responded hurriedly, with a trace of fear in his eyes when he looked at Wang Kang.

He was Wang Kang's former dog friend, and he was in the same gang as Liu Cheng. He also had a share of the money that was used to cheat Wang Kang.

"What happened to the thing I asked you to do?" Wang Kang asked calmly.

"I have followed your instructions and induced Liu Cheng to take the medicine you gave me. Now Liu Cheng's need for women is increasing, and the medicine never leaves his mouth..."

"Okay, stop taking his medicine tonight and tell him that the medicine is no longer available. If necessary, let him come to me directly and tell him that only I have it..." Wang Kang ordered.

"Mention your name directly?" Tong Yue said in shock: "Wouldn't that arouse Liu Cheng's suspicion, and he might also know that I am trying to harm him!"

"So what?" Wang Kang looked at the turbulent river and said calmly: "When he finds out that he is no longer a man and can't even be hard-core, he won't care about anything."

"Besides, the Liu family is about to become a thing of the past, so what are you afraid of?" Wang Kang looked at Tong Yue and smiled, "Don't worry, as long as this matter is completed, I will forgive you, and I will keep your secret..."

"Yes!" Tong Yue nodded.

Looking at Wang Kang's smile, I felt even more frightened...
