It's still the same private room, it's still the same group of people.

Hong Anqi was still sitting in the chair, but his face was no longer full of spirit, replaced by gloom and depression.

"It's over...... It's all over! ”

Shopkeeper Qiu spread his whole person on the wide chair, beads of sweat kept sliding down his forehead, and his face was already covered with sweat. As for the others, they were no better, sitting down one by one, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window as if they were dead fathers and mothers.

For a long time, Hong Anqi whispered: "Uncle Hong, how much silver do we still have in our hands?" ”

Hong Qiang, who was standing beside Hong Anque with his hands down, said in a low voice: "Young master, just now the people below just reported that the silver in our hands is only more than six hundred taels. ”

"More than six hundred taels, it's not a lot." Hong Anque's laughter was miserable.

More than 600 taels of silver, if it is seen from the perspective of ordinary people, it is already a lot of "huge money", ordinary people will spend at least half of their lives to be able to save so much silver, but for Hong Anque and these people in the room, this amount of silver is not enough for them to redeem themselves for the red card of Mingyue Tower.

After settling down, Hong Anque's head turned to ask Hong Qiang; "Uncle Hong, can the family still come up with any more silver? Even if it's tens of thousands of taels. ”

Hong Qiang smiled bitterly: "Childe, in order to raise silver these days, the lord has even sold a lot of his family's property, and he really can't raise silver." ”

Although he knew this result earlier, Hong Anqi still turned his head to Shopkeeper Qiu and the others: "What about you, how much silver can you raise?" ”

"We?"

Shopkeeper Qiu pointed at himself weakly, a palpitating smile appeared on his pale face, and he asked instead of answering: "Just the day before yesterday, Lao Qiu had already bet all his shop to others, do you think I still have any silver?" ”

Hong Anque's brows furrowed, if it was ordinary, if the red shopkeeper dared to talk to him in this tone, he would have let people give him a good look, but now he has no mood to care.

Thinking of his father's hair that has turned all gray these days and the empty treasury in his home, his heart is like a knife biting his lip, so that he doesn't even know that his teeth are biting his lips.

I don't know how long it took, Hong Anqi suddenly stood up and said in a low voice: "Everyone, we lost this battle. Let's go back first, and we'll get back another day to discuss how to deal with the aftermath. ”

With that, Hong Anqi was about to walk out of the room.

"No way!"

Just as Hong Anque walked to the door, the shopkeeper Qiu, who was originally slumped in the chair, suddenly jumped up and grabbed his arm with an arrow step forward and said loudly: "Hong Gongzi, you can't go!" ”

"Hmm!"

Hong Anque, who was suddenly grabbed by the arm, flashed with anger in his eyes, and his displeased eyes swept on the face of the shopkeeper Qiu, "Shopkeeper Qiu, for the sake of your first offense, if you let go of your hand now, this son can not worry about you, otherwise ......"

Although Hong Anque's words were not spoken, everyone understood what he meant.

"How else?" Shopkeeper Qiu laughed miserably and said loudly: "Young Master Hong, your Hong family summoned us and others over and said that they were going to boycott the market. We also agreed, anyway, it's not the first time we've done this kind of thing, at best, the government will compromise after three or five days. But this time it's different, the market is just a boycott, anyway, it's just a few days less business, and it's time to rest.

But then you said that you took us to sweep the goods and defeated the Ming Royal Commercial Bank, and we did it, who made your Hong family a tyrant in Xiamen, but now our silver has been invested in this bottomless pit, but you said that we lost, and we wanted to leave after patting our butts, have you ever thought about what we should do? ”

"You ......" Hong Anque, who had always been submissive, didn't expect that the shopkeeper Qiu, who had always been submissive, would be stubborn for a while, and even dared to question him in public.

A trace of green energy flashed on Hong Anque's face, and his eyes became sharp, he just said lightly: "Let go!" ”

"Don't let it go...... Unless you give us an explanation! ”

"Confess...... Good...... I'll give you an explanation! Hong Anqi laughed instead of being angry.

"Smack......

I only heard a crisp sound, and a bright red slap mark immediately appeared on the chubby left side of the shopkeeper Qiu's face.

Hong Anque: "What's the matter, this explanation is enough!" ”

"You...... You actually hit me! Shopkeeper Qiu covered his face and looked at Hong Anque, looking at Hong Anque in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the third son of the Hong family, who had always been personable, actually beat people in public.

"It's you stupid who has no dignity!" Since he had already made a move, Hong Anque simply raised his hand and slapped him again.

I only heard a "snap", and there was also a slap mark on the right side of Qiu's shopkeeper's face, which was symmetrical on both sides.

"You ......"

Shopkeeper Qiu only felt a flame surging into his mind from his heart, and he suddenly let out a strange scream when he lost his mind, hugged Hong Anque's hands like this, and rushed forward after hugging Hong Anque.

"Knock ......"

I only heard a dull sound, and Hong Anqi was thrown to the ground heavily.

You must know that the shopkeeper Qiu is a big fat man of nearly two hundred pounds, how can Hong Anque, a pampered son, bear such a weight, the back of his head hit the ground first, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and then a sharp pain spread from the back of his head to the entire body, and then after rolling his eyes, the whole person fainted very simply.

It was only then that everyone reacted. First of all, Hong Qiang was the first to reflect, only to see him step forward and grab the collar of the shopkeeper Qiu, and the shopkeeper Qiu was lifted up by him, and then Hong Qiang shook it casually, and the shopkeeper Qiu took a few steps back and hit the wall, and then bounced out, his legs were weak, and the whole person knelt on the ground with a pop.

After doing all this, Hong Qiang didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper Qiu, he walked quickly to Hong Anque, stretched out his finger and probed the tip of his nose, felt the snort, and then pinched his people a few times, and Hong Anque woke up faintly.

After Hong Anque's woke up, he first rolled his eyes a few times, then turned his neck, and when the sharp pain in the back of his head came, he immediately recalled what had just happened.

Hong Anque, who had never been beaten since he was a child, immediately turned red in his eyes, and looked at the shopkeeper Qiu who was standing up on the ground and had not been able to stand up, his eyes showed a terrifying anger.

He glanced around, rushed to the door with an arrow, and forcefully picked up the deadbolt as thick as an adult's arm against the wall, and smashed it into the head of the shopkeeper Qiu.

"Bang!"

Shopkeeper Qiu, who didn't have time to dodge, fell to the ground without saying a word, and Hong Anqi refused to give up, lifted the door bolt and smashed it down with all his strength.

One time...... Double-click...... Three times ......

Seeing that Hong Anque, who has always been elegant, showed weakness and frantically waved the door bolt and smashed Qiu's shopkeeper desperately, the people around him were stunned, and they wanted to dissuade but didn't have the guts.

However, Hong Anque is a weak scholar after all, and after smashing the door bolt weighing more than ten pounds with all his strength, the strength of his whole body is exhausted.

After rushing to the end of all the strength of the body, Hong Anqi threw away the bolt in his hand, stood aside with his waist and gasped, and beside him, the shopkeeper Qiu who was lying on the ground was already motionless, and a large pool of scarlet blood continued to flow out of his head, forming a large pool of blood.

It was only at this time that a shopkeeper who was usually good friends with Shopkeeper Qiu stepped forward tremblingly, walked up to the shopkeeper and squatted down in front of his nose, and then let out an exclamation.

"Oh no...... Lao Qiu, he's out of gas! ”

"What...... Lao Qiu is out of gas! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't care about anything else, and they gathered around one after another. A shopkeeper who usually knows a little about medicine put two fingers on the wrist of the shopkeeper Qiu, and after a while, he shook his head solemnly, and said sadly: "Old Qiu is gone!" ”

"What...... Is Lao Qiu really gone? ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and looked at Qiu Disheng one by one, with a frightened look in their eyes. This is a human life, and he was killed by Hong Anque on the spot, and now the matter is a big problem.

It was only at this time that Hong Anque, who had just come out of the anger, realized the seriousness of the matter. You must know that he had just killed not an ordinary person or a country clay leg whom they called a pariah, but a market shopkeeper.

Well, a mere shopkeeper may not be in Hong Anque's eyes on weekdays, but in today's environment, things are not so simple. You must know that in order to respond to the call of the Hong family, these shopkeepers have all their net worth this time to support them to compete with the Ming Royal Commercial House, now it is good, the silver is spent, and even people have been killed by themselves, if this thing is worn out, the reputation of the Hong family will be stinky, and who will dare to do business with the Hong family in the future.

As soon as he thought of this, Hong Anque felt that he was starting to panic, don't look at the Hong family in Xiamen, it seems to be rampant and unscrupulous, but in fact, the children of these big families have been educated since they were young, what can be done and what not can be done.

For example, those mud legs and ordinary people in the countryside naturally step on them whenever they want, and they can also bully those businessmen with small businesses, but people like Shopkeeper Qiu who follow them wholeheartedly can't treat them like this.

As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, and a fence has three piles. The business field is like a pyramid, the Hong family is certainly standing at the top of the pyramid, and the Qiu shopkeeper is the middle-level foundation that supports the Hong family, if the support of these foundations is lost, the Hong family can only end up collapsing even if it is awesome, this is like the emperor Although he is nominally powerful, but if he leaves the support of the civil ministers and military generals below, the emperor is also a puppet.

"Nonsense...... What nonsense! Ben Gongzi just lightly hit him twice, how could he die so easily when he was so big, so bold, the porcelain touch came to Ben Gongzi's head, you wait, Ben Gongzi will never forget it like this. ”

Hong Anque scolded and trotted out of the gate quickly, Hong Qiang, who had been protecting him, looked at Hong Anque, and then looked at everyone, originally wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and he swallowed them back, sighed softly and disappeared at the door......

After Hong Anqi left, everyone looked at the corpse of the shopkeeper Qiu lying on the ground, and a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and fox permeated everyone's hearts.

After a long time, a thin middle-aged man slapped the table and said hatefully: "The Hong family is too bullying, Lao Qiu bet his shop to others in order to help him, and now the silver has been lost, and even people have been killed by him, this matter must not be counted like this!" ”

A shopkeeper glanced at the thin man and sighed, "Lao Ge, we know that you have a good relationship with Lao Qiu, but you have also seen it, this is the hand of Hong Sangongzi, what can we do with him?" Just a few of us, can we still fight the Hong family? ”

The shopkeeper surnamed Ge gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I know, if it was half a month ago, we would not be able to move half of the cold hairs of others, but don't you know what the form of Xiamen Mansion is now?" The Hong family is arrogant and trying to do right to Jiang Ninghou, and now most of their family property has become a pile of loss-making goods, and they have offended Jiang Ninghou and Lord Xia, and it is impossible to say how many days the Hong family can exist, what we have to do now is just push. Don't you want to recoup a little bit of your loss? ”

Thinking of the money they have invested in the bottomless pit these days, the faces of the people present twitched, this is the belongings they have earned after struggling for most of their lives, but they have almost lost it in just half a month, and they have the heart to die, which is why the shopkeeper Qiu suddenly became irritable just now, so that he was killed by him in the end when he clashed with Hong Anque.

A shopkeeper slapped his thigh: "Damn, since the Hong family is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust." Lao Ge, what do you say? ”

"Lao Qiu is a lesson from the past, we can't do it with such a ruthless and unrighteous person anymore!"

For a while, everyone in the room was filled with righteous indignation, and you and I began to discuss it word by word......

Hong Anqi naturally didn't know that after he left, the shopkeepers who had originally bowed down in front of him were discussing how to deal with him.

In a panic, he rushed back to Hongfu in fright, but as soon as he got off the car at the door of the house, he saw seven or eight carriages parked outside the gate, and there were small flags in front of these carriages, and dozens of burly men were standing at the door looking at him.

Hong Anque, who was following him, asked Hong Qiang, who was following him, with some doubts, and asked, "Uncle Hong, do you know who these people are?" ”

Hong Qiang glanced quickly at these carriages, and said in a solemn voice: "Look at the flags on the carriages, these people should be big businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

"From Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" When Hong Anque's heart was tightened when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a ......
