Zhao Lefu's expression was one of extreme excitement.
He grabbed Gu Yunzheng by the collar, holding on tightly and refusing to let go.
While roaring at Gu Yunzheng, he also turned back and shouted into Bing 77 Courtyard.
"Li Qin..."
"Wang Wei..."
"Come out quickly, He Tingfeng's cousin is here, he wants to repay He Tingfeng's debt!"
In less than half a minute, six or seven people rushed out.
Each of them looked like a wolf or a tiger, with faces full of displeasure.
"Where?"
"Where is that dog He Tingfeng's cousin?"
"Haha, so this is the guy, come on, pay up quickly, that dog He Tingfeng owes me eight hundred taels!"
"And me, He Tingfeng owes me seven hundred taels, here's the IOU..."
"Hehe, I also have an IOU here, mine is for a thousand taels..."
Good heavens!
In just this short amount of time, seven or eight IOUs were shoved into Gu Yunzheng's face. In total, the debt was at least five thousand taels of silver!
Gu Yunzheng was instantly dumbfounded, so anxious he was on the verge of tears.
Five thousand taels was not a small sum. Even though his family background was not bad, and his family had given him plenty of silver when he came to Heavenly Martial Sect so he could do better, he had only brought three thousand taels.
Even if he took out all three thousand taels, it wouldn't be enough to repay the debt.
Furthermore, why should he repay He Tingfeng's debt?
Even if He Tingfeng was his biological cousin, one thing was one thing, He Tingfeng should repay the debt he borrowed himself.
Besides, he only came to find He Tingfeng to confirm the news about Li Yun.
"No... no, I didn't say I would repay He Tingfeng's debt, you've got it wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Where did we go wrong?"
"That dog cousin of yours borrowed money from us, and said he would repay it three days ago, but where is he?"
"Son of a b*tch, he's been missing for several days, he must have run away."
"He ran away, who else should we ask for the debt if not you, his cousin?"
"Even if this matter reaches the heavens and goes to the Disciplinary Hall, we are in the right!"
Zhao Lefu grabbed Gu Yunzheng, slapping his face repeatedly with loud smacks, and threatened fiercely, "It would have been fine if you didn't come today, but since you're here, you have to pay back the money, otherwise you won't be leaving today."
"Brothers, drag this guy in and search him!"
Several Outer Sect Disciples from Bing 77 Courtyard, without a word, grabbed Gu Yunzheng and dragged him into the courtyard, all the way into a room, and without question, gave him a thorough search.
They directly confiscated all three thousand taels of silver notes that Gu Yunzheng had been carrying with him.
Gu Yunzheng roared in shock.
"You can't do this!"
"I don't owe you money, He Tingfeng owes you money, not me. Give me back my money, otherwise I will definitely report you to the Disciplinary Hall..."
Slap!
"You still want to report us, then go ahead and report!"
"You have a point for not repaying the debt?"
"Brothers, beat him up!"
Several disciples from Bing 77 Courtyard, without a word, pressed Gu Yunzheng to the ground and gave him a beating.
Gu Yunzheng screamed, his face bruised and swollen, like a pig's head.
Then they threw him out of Bing 77 Courtyard and threatened him that if He Tingfeng didn't come back to repay the money, they would still demand the remaining debt from him.
Gu Yunzheng was so angry he almost broke down on the spot.
In a fit of rage, he was about to go to the Disciplinary Hall to report these disciples from Bing 77 Courtyard, but halfway there, he suddenly realized.
Those disciples from Bing 77 Courtyard all said that He Tingfeng had been missing for several days.
In their opinion, He Tingfeng ran away because he owed money.
But in his opinion, this was definitely not right.
If He Tingfeng really intended to run away, how could he not go to him to ask for the money to deal with Li Yun?
He had promised a full thousand taels of silver, which was not a small amount.
He understood He Tingfeng's character, he wouldn't run away without taking a thousand taels of silver.
So, something must have gone wrong!
Then he thought that Li Yun had also been missing for several days, but after Xu Qing and Zhang Chu were anxious for a while, they said that Li Yun had returned to his hometown, and there had been no other movement since then.
This made him break out in a cold sweat.
Could it be that He Tingfeng and Xu Youwu failed to deal with Li Yun and got themselves into trouble instead?
If that were the case, wouldn't he accidentally bring trouble upon himself by going to the Disciplinary Hall to report them?
As soon as he thought of this.
Gu Yunzheng was so angry he almost vomited blood.
"What kind of old disciple who has been in the sect for more than two years, they are useless, two people can't even deal with a newcomer who has been in the sect for a month... and they even made me repay your debt!"
"Repaying the debt is one thing, I even got a beating..."
Using a Water Pool by the roadside, Gu Yunzheng glanced at his face, which was covered in bruises, and his original handsome appearance was nowhere to be seen.
He felt extreme hatred in his heart, and didn't even dare to return to Courtyard 95 of the Ren Branch.
He could only sit by the Water Pool, sulking and thinking of a solution.
Just at this moment—
Suddenly, two more Outer Sect Disciples from Bing 77 Courtyard caught up. As soon as they saw him, their expressions lit up with joy, and without a word, they grabbed him.
They dragged him directly to a small hill near Bing 77 Courtyard.
Gu Yunzheng was terrified, thinking they were going to do something to him, and screamed in panic.
Until they reached a certain spot on the hill.
The two men then threw Gu Yunzheng to the ground.
At this time, several people were already waiting here, all with cold expressions and disdainful looks.
The leader was a young man wearing a blue robe.
Everyone was standing, only he was sitting on a large rock, playing with a cold, flashing dagger in his hand.
Seeing Gu Yunzheng arrive, the blue-robed young man just glanced at him, then showed a playful expression.
"You are Gu Yunzheng, He Tingfeng's cousin?"
"Yes... yes, who are you?"
Gu Yunzheng was terrified, he could tell that this blue-robed young man must have a significant background. The several disciples from Bing 77 Courtyard who had just beaten him were standing beside the blue-robed young man, each more submissive than the last, completely lacking their previous arrogance.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wu Yuekong, the Chief of Bing 77 Courtyard!"
"I heard you specially came to repay your cousin He Tingfeng's debt, and you took out three thousand taels in one go. Yo ho, that's quite a sum, what about mine?"
Wu Yuekong snapped his fingers, and someone behind him sneered, taking out two IOUs and handing them to Gu Yunzheng.
"Take a look, that dog He Tingfeng owes our Young Master Wu three thousand taels of silver, when are you going to repay it for him?"
Pfft!
Gu Yunzheng glanced at the IOUs and couldn't help but spray out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
He fell to the ground.
He fainted directly.
At the moment he fainted, he had already cursed that damned bastard He Tingfeng a thousand times in his heart.
"You f*cking animal..."
"How much external debt did you owe, why do I have to repay it all for you..."
But fainting was useless.
Wu Yuekong just waved his hand, and someone nearby brought a ladle of water, and without a word, poured it on Gu Yunzheng's face, directly splashing Gu Yunzheng awake...
