With the enthusiasm of just speaking, Hu Jiuling pulled Shen Jinshan into his carriage and walked directly to the yamen.

"Brother Hu, don't worry, the deed is still in the Shen family."

"Brother Shen is a ......," Hu Jiuling sighed. Although the latter words were not spoken, anyone could understand what he meant based on his tone alone. Approaching the car door, he instructed the coachman outside: "Turn around and go to Shen's house first." ”

"Brother Hu, do you trust Shen?"

Shen Jinshan felt that he had been neglected, obviously he was already the head of the ironclad Chamber of Commerce, why was Hu Jiuling's attitude towards him not a little respectful, but more and more arrogant?

"Could it be that Master Shen trusts Hu?" Hu Jiuling asked coldly.

Shen Jinshan was not at ease: "What is Master Hu talking about, Shen has always respected you." ”

"Don't," Hu Jiuling looked like he was afraid of it: "It's all called Master Hu...... Over the years, Brother Shen has not always regarded Hu as a fierce rival, and secretly made no effort, and this time he tried his best to become the head of the meeting. Now it's just you and me in the carriage, there's no need to talk about those nothing. The deed was signed under the witness of Hou Ye and the Qingcheng business community, and there is no possibility of repentance. ”

While speaking, the carriage had stopped in front of Shen's house, and when he opened the door, Hu Jiuling made a "please" gesture: "Please also ask Brother Shen to be happy." ”

"You!"

Shen Jinshan jumped out of the carriage angrily and walked into the gate of the Shen family in two steps.

Although he said it happily in Yunlailou, if he really waited for the real thing, even if he was confident that he could take it back in the future, Shen Jinshan would be distressed. After entering the mansion, he also rubbed as much as possible, thinking that he could delay it for a while, and it was best to delay it until the curfew started, and Hu Jiuling couldn't hold back and left consciously.

But Hu Jiuling is a person who is sitting still? He was not angry about Ah Yao's affairs, and in the first half of the month before he found a way, he tried to elevate the Hu family to suppress the Shen family's business. And then after the plan was made by recruiting military salaries, the reason why he forbearance was also to lure Shen Jinshan into the set. Originally, he wanted to deliberately sell a flaw to Shen Jinshan in business, but he didn't expect that Tiangong Zuomei would come to the scene to pour the spring cold, and there was even more Song Guansheng being co-opted later, the time and place were favorable, and he didn't believe that he couldn't let the Shen family fall this time.

Sure enough, as he expected, after a little arrangement, he easily gnawed on Shen Jinshan's fat meat.

Shen Jinshan also understands his temperament, if he drags on for a long time, he may really turn his face and deny people, and even if he can solve it by reporting to the official, it is not easy to deal with the government, so he decided to cut through the mess quickly. After seeing Shen Jinshan enter, he waited for a stick of incense, and saw that there was no movement in front of the Shen family, so he knew Shen Jinshan's intentions.

Want to drag?

There are no doors!

After getting out of the carriage, he personally stood in front of the Shen family. The location of the Shen family is not quieter than the Hu family, it is close to the intersection of the east and west of the city, and there are many vendors selling along the street during the dinner.

Who is Hu Jiuling, he is the richest person in the imperial merchant and Qingcheng, it can be said that everyone from the eighty-year-old woman to the three-year-old child knows him. The warmth of the guard of honor in the streets to announce the good news has not yet gone down, and everyone has not yet recovered from the sigh of being shocked by one and a half million taels of silver.

"How could Master Hu be at the door of Shen's house?"

With this layer of questions, there were more and more people around, and soon there was a layer along the door of Shen's house, and there were more and more people looking at the posture.

Seeing Hu Jiuling walking to the door of the Shen family, asking in a low voice what was the courtyard at the door, and after the other party shook his head, he sighed and retreated to his carriage, the bold woman finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked out loud: "Master Hu, did you really donate one and a half million taels?" ”

Hu Jiuling shook his head and explained in everyone's doubts: "It was donated by my family's A-Yao, and it can be regarded as representing my Hu family." ”

It turned out to be donated by the girl of the Hu family.

No, where does the Hu girl's money come from? It's not earned by Master Hu, what is the difference between this and Master Hu himself.

"Then why is Master Hu standing at the door of Shen's house? It's been going on for a while, right? ”

In the face of these inconsequential people, Hu Jiuling was not impatient at all, but patiently explained: "That's the case, Brother Shen owes Hu some silver. Because of the recruitment of military salaries, the Shen family had some difficulties in the turnover of money, so they mortgaged a few shops to Hu, who was waiting for Brother Shen to enter the house to get the deed. ”

So that's what happened? After asking, everyone had new doubts: "The Shen family owes the Hu family silver?" ”

"What's going on? The Shen family was so happy to give out the money in the morning, but they didn't expect that they were in debt outside, and even the shop had to be mortgaged and resold. ”

At that time, people valued ancestral property, and even silkworm farmers in the countryside had more raw silk in their hands when they encountered a good year, and they were trying to buy a good land of one acre and eight points. And when you encounter a person who sells his land, he will be poked in the backbone and scolded by the loser.

This time, when I heard that Shen Jinshan mortgaged the shop, everyone subconsciously had many bad associations in their hearts.

"I heard that the one who donates the most money can be the head of the association."

"Could it be that he is an official fan, and he even ignores the ancestral property in order to be the head of the meeting, right?"

"I don't think it's really accurate, otherwise the Shen family has a big business, if it weren't for this, why would it be necessary to mortgage the family property."

The 1.5 million taels of silver donated by the Hu family successfully blocked the mouths of everyone in Qingcheng. And that's not all. Under the guilt, they subconsciously stood on Hu Jiuling's side. Shen Jinshan, who would have owed him money and didn't pay it back, consciously stood on the opposite side of these people.

But after all, Shen Jinshan also donated so much silver, and there were not many people who thought like this at first. But as time went by, seeing that the gate of the Shen Mansion was always closed, not to mention the people of Shen Jinshan, there was not even a superfluous figure, and more and more people began to believe in it.

"Maybe it's really a swollen face and a fat man, and he won't be able to get the money and be reluctant to shop, so he will simply nest in the turtle's shell and not come out."

Standing in front of his carriage, Hu Jiuling let the situation develop. Listening to the more and more crowds around him, and all kinds of unfavorable arguments against Shen Jinshan came, he was secretly satisfied in his heart.

These people in the market, especially the ones who said the most powerfully, also stood in front of the Hu family and jumped up and down like this when Shen Moci framed Ayao in the front. He remembered those words clearly, and he thought in his heart that he would take some revenge on them. But as soon as this thought arose, he quickly pressed it down.

The Hu family is open to do business, mainly to make money from these people. If you offend them all, then the entire Hu family will be finished. Not only that, offending all the people and pushing them to the Shen family, wouldn't that be just as Shen Jinshan meant.

After rejecting this idea, he quickly thought of another point. The Shen family can use these people, can't he Hu family? Although he would not wantonly create rumors like the girl of the Shen family, the Shen family already had a lot of handles, and just a few of them would be enough for them.

So just now, when Shen Jinshan mentioned that he would go back to Shen's house to get the deed first, he didn't stop him, and said that he would let someone go to pick it up, or let the Shen family send it over, but sent him to the door of Shen's house safely and politely, and politely invited him to go down. Then when he was waiting in the carriage, he had already ordered the subordinates who followed him to go home and transfer people, secretly adding fuel to the fire, so that more people could come to the door of Shen's house.

Hu Gui's cultivation is really good, this is a lot of effort, looking at the front of the Shen family, it is already three layers inside and three layers outside, just looking at the formation is not much better than the previous two times at the door of Hu's house.

Shen Jinshan is almost time to come out, right?

It's time, Hu Jiuling stepped forward, stretched out his arms and pressed down, making a gesture to tell everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, calm down, listen to what Hu has to say."

The crowd gradually calmed down, and Hu Jiuling's face was half helpless and half grateful: "All the villagers and elders are upset for Hu, and Hu is grateful." It's just that you really misunderstood Brother Shen, the silver taels owed this time are not because there is something wrong with the Shen family, but the silkworm farmers who have an agreement with my Hu family have switched to the Shen family because of this spring cold, and the Shen family promised that they would be responsible for the silver to be paid for breaking the deed. ”

Although most of the people in the city no longer grow mulberry and raise silkworms, they have heard about what is happening in the countryside. This will listen to Hu Jiuling's explanation, and they will soon understand.

"I know about this, the Shen family took over the black charcoal of the state capital, and used it as a threat to force those silkworm farmers to change their contracts."

The lion of the Shen family opened his mouth and directly asked for seventy percent of the pure profit. My relatives in the countryside said that this wave of spring silkworms was basically in vain. ”

"The silkworm breeder will start to work after the New Year, it is all people's hard-earned money, Shen Jinshan is going to go to seventy percent?"

Originally, these ordinary people were just talking about Shen Jinshan's loser, but they would hear that he was even greedy for hard-earned money, and everyone hated this person from the bottom of their hearts.

Bad words such as despicable and shameless came from around, and Hu Jiuling did not persuade again, but looked at the gate of the Shen family with a little doubt. It's all on this, why hasn't Shen Jinshan come out yet? Could it be that he misestimated that his skin was actually thicker than he imagined?

No, even if it's to be the head of the meeting, he has to pretend.

Could it be that he is hiding in the house, what bad tricks are he holding? Thinking of this possibility, Hu Jiuling's face changed slightly.

Hu Jiuling really thought too much, when he first came from the gate, Shen Jinshan had already expected that the shape was wrong, and wanted to come out quickly. But as soon as he walked to the gate of the front yard, he was stopped by Sun.

"Does the lord really want to use the concubine's dowry shop to pay off the debt?"

"Madame's dowry?" Shen Jinshan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "You and I are husband and wife, and every one of the Shen family will be children in the future, and Mrs. will still care about me about this?" ”

The Sun family was still a little hesitant about Shen Moci's mentions, even if Shen Jinshan's reputation was bad, he was still the pillar of the family. Even if he spoils his concubine and kills his wife, she will feel at ease with him. So after coming back, she thought about it carefully, as long as Shen Jinshan was still sincere, she was willing to continue to twist into a rope with him and get through the difficulties in front of her.

But his momentary stunnedness, and then his natural tone, made her completely cold.

"The silk reeling shop is a concubine to marry, and the dowry list is clearly written, and the master can use other shops if he wants to compensate the Hu family."

Wouldn't it be more to lose if you changed to another shop, Shen Jinshan was extremely unwilling, and the Sun family, who had always been submissive, also insisted uncharacteristically, so the couple stalemate at the weeping flower gate in the front yard.
