Chapter 315: On the Orders of Senior Brother Xinghe, I Come to Settle the Payment for the Goods!
Ignoring Senior Brother Ma Biao's confusion, Chu Xinghe directly found the Great Elder.
When he heard that Xinghe said that he would also pay off the debts that had lost the IOUs and tokens, the great elder's first reaction was the same as Ma Biao.
They are all in a state of confusion.
After all, it is a rule to repay debts and get back IOUs and tokens, and it is also a rule that debts cannot be repaid without tokens and IOUs.
Xinghe, are you crazy about paying off your debt now?
You have lost your IOU and tokens and you still have to come to pay off the debt. What are you doing?
Regarding the Great Elder's confusion, Chu Xinghe explained it from all levels with emotion and reason.
"Great Elder...these debts are divided into two aspects. One is that people took the initiative to help us when our Haotian Sect encountered difficulties. Although the IOU and tokens were later lost, our Haotian Sect can never forget their kindness. ”
"A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. This is what you taught me, Great Elder. Our Haotian Sect is now the number one sect in the world. If we don't return the IOU to others because they have lost it, then our Haotian Sect will lose face. Where?"
"The second aspect is the debt for some goods. People believe in our Haotian Sect and are willing to deliver the goods to our Haotian Sect first. But now because we don't have the IOU and tokens, our Haotian Sect has been delaying the payment of the goods. How does this make the outside world view our Haotian Sect?"
"So Great Elder, not only do we have to repay them, but we also have to pay them back together with the interest on these debts over the years. Only in this way can we demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of our Haotian Sect!"
Regarding Xinghe's words, the great elder nodded in agreement.
The Great Elder naturally knew about these debts, and it was not because Haotian Sect was in default, mainly because similar situations had occurred in Lieyang Continent.
A certain sect repaid the debt of the other party even though the other party lost the IOU. However, some days later, the other party inexplicably took out the IOU and shamelessly asked the sect to repay the debt again.
This incident was also a big deal at that time, and although the sect was so angry that it vomited blood, it had no choice but to repay it in the face of the IOU and the token.
So since that time, all parties have had this unwritten rule. Without IOUs and tokens, even the arrears cannot be taken back, just to prevent those shameless people from appearing again.
But there's nothing wrong with what Xinghe said. Those are other sects, not my Haotian Sect... Who in this world dares to ask for debt from my Haotian Sect twice?
What? Is it because my Haotian Sect sword is not sharp, or is it that we, the Great Sages of Dark Wisdom, don’t dare to drink?
Believe it or not, you dare to do this today, and tomorrow the Great Sage of Dark Wisdom will dare to come to your door for a few drinks. Then the Great Sage of Dark Wisdom will accidentally come and celebrate with the whole world. That has nothing to do with my Haotian Sect. .
So after thinking about it, the great elder said that we should do as you said in Xinghe.
"I congratulate you on getting rich, hey... Congratulations on your wonderfulness, hey!"
Chu Xinghe came out of the great elder's room singing "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and jumping up and down. "Tell me how I can lose this extreme repayment?"
Ma Liang didn't know where he got the news from, but he came right after Chu Xinghe came back.
"Senior Brother Xinghe... I, Ma Liang, am willing to go with you to repay your debt!"
When Ma Liang took the initiative to ask for help, Chu Xinghe gave him a kick.
Pay off the debt together? I have nothing in common with you, Ma Liang!
If you follow me, who knows what else will happen?
And not only you, Ma Liang, can't go there, but no one from me can go.
The last time I went there in person, you see, I scared people. This time I learned wisely. In order to prevent accidents from happening, I stayed in Haotian Sect this time. As for repaying the debt, I can just arrange for the disciples of the sect to perform it!
You, Ma Liang, just stay in the sect honestly and don’t even think about backstabbing Senior Brother Xinghe!
After telling Ma Liang to stay away, Chu Xinghe immediately found Senior Brother Ma Biao and then personally arranged the debt repayment.
Chu Xinghe's request was very simple.
It doesn’t matter whether he has an IOU or not... As long as there is a record in our Haotian Sect, all of them will be repaid to me.
And not only had to pay it back, Chu Xinghe also asked people overnight to calculate how much interest these debts should have over the years, and all of them were calculated according to the maximum amount.
Not only do we have to pay it back to others, we can’t even let go of the interest.
It has to be said that the amount of these arrears is really huge, and countless junior disciples of Haotian Sect who are proficient in arithmetic are confused.
Chu Xinghe also repeatedly comforted the junior brothers for their hard work.
My dear fellow disciples... don't exhaust yourself just because you have to calculate a bad account. If you really can't do it, you can just make a rough calculation... Of course... we can't forget to calculate a rough estimate at a low level. We can calculate a rough estimate at a higher level...
However, in the face of the encouragement of Senior Brother Xinghe, the junior brothers and sisters did not dare to be careless at all. They knew how to calculate every account... and did not give Chu Xinghe any chance to move forward at all.
But this is not important. As the accounts were settled one by one, Chu Xinghe also began to arrange for the disciples of the sect to go on the road with various arrears to pay off their debts!
Groups of disciples were ordered to leave the sect to repay their debts. Chu Xinghe personally sent them to the mountain gate and gave instructions one by one.
"Junior brother... if you encounter someone who robs your wealth and robbers... don't fight with people because of these external things. Once the things are lost, we can come back safely."
In response to Senior Brother Xinghe's instructions, the junior brothers and sisters had cute tears in their eyes.
But Senior Brother Xinghe, your instructions are a bit outrageous... We are disciples of the Haotian Sect... Who is crazy enough to rob us?
What they are doing is not a way to rob wealth, what they are doing is a way to obtain death...
Groups of Haotian Sect debt repayment teams embarked on their road to repay debts. Chu Xinghe looked at his junior brothers and sisters who were leaving with a look of relief on his face.
In Zhongzhou, Baicaotang was once the largest medicinal herb dealer in Zhongzhou, but that is in the past.
Today, Baicaotang has long since declined and has become a second-rate medicinal material dealer in Zhongzhou.
Now the owner of Baicaotang, Li Xing, is sighing as he looks at this year's accounts of Baicaotang.
Once upon a time, Baicaotang was brilliant in the hands of his father. However, five years ago, his father was killed by his enemies on his way out.
Although his father's death was a huge blow to Baicaotang, what hit Baicaotang even more was that at that time, almost all of Baicaotang's debt and IOU tokens were in his father's Qiankun ring.
After his father died, the Qiankun Ring also disappeared, and Li Xing had to shoulder the entire Baicaotang at a young age.
But after losing so many IOUs and tokens, Baicaotang's countless payments could only go to waste. Li Xing sold almost all the property of his family before he finally stabilized Baicaotang.
But Baicaotang has also changed from a top medicinal material store to a second-rate one today...
Over the years, even though Li Xing worked extremely hard, he could not withstand the pressure from all parties. Today, Baicaotang is almost at the end of its rope.
Over the years, Li Xing has taken his family elders countless times to the forces that owed Baicaotang money to plead with them to pay off the money.
But no matter how Li Xing assured him, the other party only had one sentence.
Take out the IOU and token and pay it to Baicaotang immediately, but without the IOU and token, it is absolutely impossible to take away any penny.
Li Xing knelt on the ground and begged them to save Baicaotang for the sake of his former father. Li Xing was even willing to write a new note to prove that they had repaid, but it was of no use.
The other party only recognized the IOU, and Li Xing was driven away again and again.
Today, Baicaotang has reached a critical point of life and death. Almost everything that the Li family can sell has been sold. Countless people from Baicaotang have also left Baicaotang. Today's Baicaotang really can't support it anymore.
Li Xing knew that his father was a generous person. For Baicaotang's previous business, as long as the other party had a good reputation, his father would always deliver the goods first and then take the payment.
When encountering some really difficult situations, my father could even delay them for a few days.
But Li Xing lamented, good people are not rewarded!
His father was so kind and righteous, but they only accepted the IOU. Li Xing looked at the ugly faces of those people and really didn't know what to say...
Can credibility be maintained only by IOUs? Can you only rely on payment orders?
When they were receiving help from their father, why did their father ever ask for these things from them?
"Master, I will accompany you to visit those sects again..."
The old servant of the family, Uncle Li, followed his father all over the world. Uncle Li couldn't bear it anymore when he saw the young master's current hardship.
But Li Xing shook his head with a self-deprecating expression.
"Uncle Li...that's all...aren't we humiliated enough? IOU...payment note...haha...the world has changed, reputation has become worthless, and has become worse than a piece of waste paper and a token. The importance of…”
"Master, you can't give up. Baicao Hall is my whole life's hard work. If I go to those big sects again, I will kneel down and beg them..."
Uncle Li's eyes were red, but he also knew that even if he knelt and died in front of those big sects, no one would pity him.
Li Xing looked at the accounts from five years ago. The various loans and payments on them were simply astronomical.
There is no need for all those people to repay. As long as a few are willing to repay, it will be enough for Baicaotang to survive today's crisis, and even allow Baicaotang to rise again.
But Li Xing begged too many times, to no avail...
"Master, let's go to the Haotian Sect... Among the unsettled payments, the Haotian Sect has the largest number. After hearing about the benevolence and righteousness of the Haotian Sect, we go to ask the Haotian Sect. If the Haotian Sect is willing to settle the payment, we can Get through it!”
But after hearing Uncle Li's words, Li Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Uncle Li was right. The Haotian Sect's payment for goods was indeed the largest, but Li Xing knew better that the Haotian Sect was the best sect in the world. Beings like the Haotian Sect were very particular about rules. As long as he took out the payment slip, , Haotian Sect will definitely repay everything without hesitation, but without a payment note, it is absolutely impossible for Haotian Sect to break the rules.
Therefore, going to Haotian Sect will never lead to any results.
Li Xing silently closed the account book. At this moment, Li Xing's eyes were full of despair, because he knew that Baicaotang was going to collapse, and his father's life's hard work would eventually be destroyed in his own hands...
But just when Li Xing was thinking about how to sell Baicaotang to give a loyal servant like Uncle Li a better future, a voice came from outside Baicaotang.
"Is Li Xing, the leader of Baicao Hall, here? We are from the Haotian Sect, and we are here to settle the payment on the orders of Senior Brother Xinghe..."
