Chapter 540: Out
Hong Anque, who grew up in a merchant family, knows very well that although their Hong family and the remaining five are known as the six major maritime merchant families, they can only be the king and hegemon in Fujian.
When you didn't see it the year before last, Yang Feng just confiscated the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou and got 20 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to the financial income of the Ming Dynasty for several years, which simply stunned countless people who ate melons.
At this moment, looking at the luxurious carriages parked at the door and the dozens of strong men next to the carriages, Hong Anque began to feel a little uneasy in his heart, the Hong family is now the most difficult time, these Zhejiang businessmen suddenly appeared at the door of their own house, something must have happened here, Hong Anque, who had no time to think about it, quickly accelerated his pace and walked into the door towards the lobby, he knew that his father would definitely greet these guests in the lobby.
When Hong Anque came to the lobby, he saw his father talking with seven or eight men, and although these men looked different in age, they were dressed or looked with an indescribable arrogance, although they were well hidden, but Hong Anque could clearly perceive that maybe this was related to the fact that he was also this kind of person.
"The boy has seen his father!" Hong Anque, who came to the lobby, first gave Hong Futong a salute.
Hong Futong nodded, pointed to several men around him and said, "Anque, come here, these uncles and uncles are all from Zhejiang, you can't be rude, hurry up and give them a salute." This is Uncle Bi Shi, this is Uncle Gong Shi, this Uncle Wang Shi, this ......"
After hearing this, Hong Anque hurriedly bowed around and saluted everyone, "Hong Anque has seen all the uncles and uncles!" ”
"That's it...... Hong Xian's nephew, please hurry up. Everyone who is doing it also gives Hong Anque's face, and said with a smile one by one, stretching out his hand to help.
After Hong Anque's stand up, a slightly chubby, kind-looking man smiled at Hong Fudao: "Brother Hong is really blessed, Ling Gongzi has a strange appearance, and he has a reputation for talent at a young age, it seems that he must be very capable, with the assistance of Ling Gongzi, it seems that it won't be long before Brother Hong can live at home." ”
Hong Anque's faint smile: "Brother Bi has won the award, the dog is still young, he is reckless, and he is still far from being alone." ”
The two of them praised and depreciated, and after a few polite words, the middle-aged man surnamed Bi said with a smile: "Brother Hong, this time the younger brother and the rest of you came because of the incident we talked about a few days ago, seeing that the days are about to expire, I don't know what Brother Hong thinks?" ”
Hong Futong said quietly: "Why should Brother Bi be in a hurry, isn't there still two days before the day we agreed, Brother Bi is in such a hurry to come over, is it possible that he is afraid that the Hong family will not be able to repay the debt?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Hong Anque's heart tightened, and he finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart just now came from. A few days ago, in order to raise enough silver taels to sweep the goods, they and the other five seas borrowed more than 5 million taels of silver, of which the Hong family alone borrowed 1 million taels, but this matter has always been done by Hong Futong himself, so Hong Anque's has not known, and now he finally understands that they are borrowing silver from these Zhejiang merchants, and now these people are collecting debts.
Hong Anque felt a trace of sadness in his heart while being nervous, thinking that although their Hong family in Xiamen and even Fujian could not be said to cover the sky with one hand, it was not for people to look up to where they went on weekdays, even the governor, political envoy and other high-ranking officials were polite when they saw their father, but they didn't expect to be collected for debts and brought to the house today, which is really a shame!
In the end, it is young, and the city government is still not enough. Hong Anque's face changed immediately, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Hong Fu's general eyes.
I saw the man surnamed Bi and said noncommittally: "Brother Hong is right, this matter is indeed a mistake for us, the younger brother can apologize to Brother Hong, but please also ask Brother Hong to understand the helplessness of the younger brother and others." You must know that this is a huge amount of 5.6 million taels, and the annual tax of the imperial court a few years ago is so much, if there is a slight difference between the little brother Chi and the others, not to mention, it will also affect the entire family, do you say that the little brother should be cautious? ”
Although there is no disrespect in the words of the man surnamed Bi, the meaning of the words can be understood by anyone. I have borrowed more than five million taels of silver from you, and no matter how prudent I am, I can't be too cautious, what do you have to fool around.
"Yes, you have been cautious enough to go to the old man's house to force the debt, it seems that the old man should thank you?" Hong Futong's eyes flashed, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Hong Futong couldn't help but be angry.
Be...... The six of them did borrow more than five million taels of silver from the Zhejiang merchants, but this money was not borrowed in vain, the six of them took out as many as hundreds of shops, real estate and hundreds of sea ships all over Fujian as a mortgage, these things are the accumulation of the six of them for hundreds of years, and they are definitely worth the money, but now these people still think that the value of these things is not enough, how can this not make him angry.
The scheming Hong Futong may be able to bear it, but Hong Anque, who can't bear it anymore, doesn't care about his Lao Tzu's eye warning, and takes a step forward and says angrily: "Uncles and uncles, although the little nephew is not talented, he is familiar with the books of sages and sages, and knows the truth of repaying debts. ”
"Shut up!" As soon as Hong Anque's words fell, he was shouted by Hong Futong, "This is a matter for my father and a few uncles, how can it be your turn to intervene." ”
"Brother Hong!" The man surnamed Bi looked like he was smiling: "Don't scold Ling Lang, what he said is right, this matter is indeed a mistake for us." However, Ling Lang just said that he was familiar with the books of sages, and the younger brother believed this. However, those who are familiar with the books of the sages are not necessarily upright men and gentlemen, don't you say? ”
Hong Futong's face sank suddenly: "Brother Bi, what do you mean by this?" ”
The man surnamed Bi took a sip of the teacup and said quietly: "It's not interesting."
"Hmm!" Hong Futong is such a shrewd person, he immediately looked at Hong Anque.
And Hong Anque, who was on the side, was as stunned as a lightning strike, and his first thought was that it was not good...... The matter of the private room in the market just now was known.
It's just that then he thought again, how could this be possible, he rushed home from there immediately after he accidentally killed the shopkeeper Qiu, and several of them had been here all along, how could they know the news so quickly.
Thinking of this, Hong Anque's head stiffened and snorted lightly: "Uncle Bi Shi, the little nephew doesn't understand what you're talking about?" ”
"You really don't understand?"
Seeing that Hong Anqi was still pretending to be stupid, the man surnamed Bi laughed and simply picked out the matter.
"Virtuous nephew, your forgetfulness is really great, what good deeds did you do in that private room of Shuiyun Pavilion, can't you forget it immediately?"
"Ah......h
Hong Anque's face immediately turned pale, he never thought that it was only less than two quarters of an hour later, how could the news of him accidentally killing the shopkeeper Qiu reach their ears, could it be that these people all have a pair of clairvoyance?
Seeing Hong Anque, whose face had turned pale, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the man surnamed Bi and several men around him. This Hong Anque, on the surface, looks gentle and elegant, but when he encounters something, he panics and behaves abnormally, without any calmness, if the Hong family is controlled by such a person in the future, it will not be far from decay.
If Hong Futong still didn't understand that something had happened to his son, he wouldn't be worthy of being the head of the Hong family, his face immediately sank and shouted: "Anque, what happened? ”
was asked by his own Lao Tzu like this, Hong Anqi couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and knelt down to his father with a "poof" and cried: "Father, the child is in trouble, and the child is ...... in Shuiyun Pavilion."
Hong Anque's 1510 told the story of killing the shopkeeper Qiu in Shuiyun Pavilion, and finally cried and said: "Father, the child killed the shopkeeper Qiu by mistake this time, and he hated the remaining more than ten shopkeepers, they will not give up, while reporting to the government, it must not be long before an official messenger will come to arrest the child, although the child is not talented, but also understands the truth that one person does things and one person is responsible, and the child will go to the governor's yamen to surrender later, and will never affect our Hong family." ”
Hong Futong sighed: "You Bi Shibo is right, you are a fool!" ”
After speaking, Hong Futong no longer paid attention to Hong Anque, and said to the man surnamed Bi with a complicated expression: "Brother Bi, don't worry." The money that our Hong family owes you will definitely be repaid, and even if it is not repaid, all those shops will be transferred to you, so you don't have to worry. It's just that the dog's affairs have to worry about many of you. ”
The man surnamed Bi smiled slightly: "Brother Hong, although rest assured, as long as you are willing, in two quarters of an hour, our carriage will be able to take Hong Xian's nephew out of Xiamen and take the sea route to our Hangzhou Mansion. ”
"Then please Brother Bi." Hong Futong sighed, at this moment he seemed to be several years old, only to see him glaring at Hong Anque, and scolded: "You brute, why don't you hurry back to the backyard to prepare, leave here immediately after two quarters of an hour, if you don't have the consent of the old man, you will never be allowed to go back to Xiamen, do you understand?" ”
"The child understands!" When Hong Anque heard this, he understood that he, the person who was the most likely to inherit the position of the head of the Hong family, was out from now on, and the Hong family would never let a person who was charged with murder be the head of the family.
