Chapter 263: Shopkeeper Huo is back!
Jinxiuzhai is particularly lively today, and not long after the door opened, a lot of people gathered. It's just that these people are standing outside the door, but the door is deserted, and there is not even a single guest, only two young men in strong clothes standing at the door with their arms crossed.
Both of them were in their early twenties, and their faces were very white, and at first glance they even felt a little sickly. However, at a second glance, no one will think they are weak. Not to mention the dark and cold appearance of the long sword they each held in their hands, the expression that was like a mask without waves and waves, the eyes that were shallow and restrained under the darkness, and the straight body like a pile, were daunting.
The shopkeeper who was sent back by Mrs. Jian Si to "stabilize them" bowed down, with a flattering smile on his face, and invited for the Nth time, "Our host will come soon, just ask someone to make good tea, prepare snacks, and the two knights will go down with them to drink tea for a while, okay?" ”
The two of them didn't move, they didn't even blink their eyelids, and they took him for air for the Nth time.
In fact, after making it clear that they intended to give the reason for the ultimatum, the two people's mouths were as if they were frozen, and they never spit out half a word again.
With such two door gods standing at the door, which guest would dare to come to the door?
The people in the market have always been well-informed, and the news that Jinxiuzhai was found by the four seas spread throughout the street in a short time, so those good deeds came to watch with fear, anticipation and excitement, and even some schadenfreude.
When Second Master Jian arrived with someone, when he saw this kind of formation, his already unsightly face turned two points blue, and he couldn't help but curse in his abdomen. "A couple of idiots!"
This pair of fools naturally refers not to the pair of Sihaitong, but to the pair of Master Jian Si and Mrs. Jian Si.
Mrs. Jian Si won't say where she is stupid, since Xiao Liu'er came back, she has jumped up and down, and there is no time to settle down. I can't wait to shout all over the street, Jian Lan is her biological daughter.
How many times he had warned about the beating, she just didn't know how to relent. actually grabbed the room with the girl who got married, and it caused such a big mess.
When he was about to go out, she was still unrepentantly shouting that she wanted to finish with that cheap girl. It's unreasonable.
This time. His fourth brother was not in the house, saying that he went to the newly opened "water restaurant" in Daming Lake to drink and have fun, and did not return overnight.
He is really impatient to take care of this gossip, but after all, Jinxiu Zhai is a famous person from all over the world. That's a master who only talks about rules and doesn't talk about legal principles. One is not good. Mrs. Jian Si even had to take her life in. No matter how stupid she is, she is the daughter-in-law of the Jian family, if something happens to her, the entire Jian family will be disgraced.
Besides, they live in the same city and do business on the same street. Who doesn't know who's going to be fine? If something happened to Mrs. Jian's dowry shop, if he didn't care, wouldn't he let people point out and discuss, saying that the Jian family stood by and watched his family, and was cold and ruthless?
650,000 taels of silver is nothing to the Jian family, and as soon as you collect the finger sewing, there is no need to hurt your face outside for that bit of silver.
When I returned home, I still had to settle the accounts, Mrs. Jian Si owed such a large sum of money to Gongzhong, and it was easy to control it in the future.
Of course, he will not personally come forward to negotiate with people from all over the world, he is just here to suppress the formation.
He parked the carriage opposite Jinxiuzhai, sat in the car and watched, and instructed a shopkeeper surnamed Cui to go to support.
This shopkeeper Cui is the big shopkeeper of Jian's money village, the most shrewd and sleek, he talks about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, and he is also a top figure among the shopkeepers of all walks of life in Jinan Mansion.
When he got closer, he didn't say that polite word, and he hugged his fists proudly like a Jianghu person, "In Xia Cui, I have long admired the prestige of the four seas, two brothers, please go in and talk." ”
The two looked him up and down, and one of them said, "No need, pay back the money, and we will leave after settling the account." ”
The rules of Sihaitong Cui Da shopkeeper have also heard a little, knowing that they go out to ask for debts with nine non-sticky, one does not touch tea and wine, two does not touch gifts, three does not touch women, etc., it boils down to one sentence, no personal relationship with the client.
He no longer gave in, took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands, "This is 650,000 taels of silver tickets, no secret deposit, seven major money banks can be exchanged, please look at the two brothers." ”
The two "brothers" did not accept the silver ticket, and one of them asked in a straight voice, "What about people?" ”
The shopkeeper Cui Da looked embarrassed, and said again: "Don't hide it from the two brothers, the shopkeeper Huo left Jinan Mansion a few days ago to buy goods, and he has not returned yet." I have already sent people to track down his whereabouts with all our might, I wonder if Sihaitong can be graced for a few days? ”
The man didn't speak, and threw the deed signed between Huo Danian and Sihaitong to him and let him see it for himself.
Cui Da shopkeeper looked at it at a glance and saw that it was clearly written that the borrowed money was overdue, and the principal should be repaid within the time limit given by Sihaitong, and another 30% liquidated damages should be paid. In addition, it is necessary to sign the deed in person to go to the "Red and White Hall" of Sihaitong to leave a seal and receive the license.
As the name suggests, this brand is divided into two kinds of red and white, which is linked to credibility, with the red card representing "punishment" and the white card representing "award".
There are strict standards for the issuance of these two brands, and the amount of business done with Sihaitong or what conditions can be reached before the white cards representing the reward can be issued. Holding this card, when doing business with Sihaitong, you can get a certain degree of preferential treatment. The more white cards you have, the higher the level of privilege you get.
The red card is relatively easy to come by, and anyone who breaches the contract and meets the requirements within the ultimatum time limit gets that piece. If you collect all three pieces, you will be blacklisted, and you will never have the opportunity to do business with Sihaitong again in this life.
Before collecting three tiles, a white card can be used to offset a red card.
The four seas are dealt, the white card can be refused, but the red card is not received by anyone. If you don't receive it, it will be regarded as a breach of trust, and if you don't say a word, you will deal with it directly in accordance with the rules.
In other words, if Jinxiuzhai can't hand over 650,000 taels of silver and Huo Danian at the same time, then there is no need to pay anything, and obediently wait for the punishment of the four seas. It is said that the specific punishment is to be determined by lottery.
Sihaitong is so domineering, eccentric, mean, and unreasonable, but they have vast powers and speed in doing things, and the business they have taken so far, no matter how strict and strange the conditions are, there is nothing they can't complete.
After reading the deed, Cui Da's shopkeeper already saw sweat on his forehead, and knew that grace was impossible, so he hurriedly took out Huo Danian's deed of sale, "Dare to ask the two brothers, can you use this thing to help people?" ”
The brother's lips moved, and before the word "unacceptable" could be spoken, someone outside the crowd shouted, "Slow! ”
The crowd of onlookers surged and then parted to make way for them.
A man described as haggard and dusty ran through the high-profile path in a hurry.
The shopkeeper of Jinxiuzhai was sharp-eyed, and he recognized it at once, and shouted overjoyed: "It's the shopkeeper Huo, the shopkeeper Huo is back!" ”
