"What? Wu family dock, what are you going to do there? A pedestrian on the road asked in surprise when he heard that Jiang De and others were going to Wujia Dock.

"Oh, we were blessed by the Wu family's dockyard in the early years, and I heard that they were in trouble, let's see if we can help." Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

When the passer-by heard that he was here to help, he sighed and sighed, "Speaking of which, the old man Wu is indeed kind and benevolent, and does not fight with others, you walk a mile along the river, and see the Wu family dock holding the white flag, but if you want to go, it is best to buy some incense, candles, and paper money first." ”

"White flags? Incense candles? Jiang De and the others looked at each other, and Zhu Wu asked, "Could it be that something happened to this Wu family's dock?" ”

The passer-by nodded and said, "But isn't it, just a few days ago, Old Man Wu finally didn't hold it and left, you guys, the Wu family's dockyard is like this, isn't it even worse?" I think the Wu family dockyard won't be able to hold out this time. ”

Saying that, the passer-by shook his head, turned his head and left, Jiang De said to everyone, "Since this is the case, let's hurry up and take a look, this Wu family shipyard has suffered so much, and it should be willing to come." ”

The group walked a mile, and sure enough, they saw a large shipyard, with white flags hanging high on the shipyard and white cloths hanging everywhere.

Outside the shipyard, there were many horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and dozens of uniformly dressed family members guarding outside. These people kept pointing at the dock, and from time to time they let out laughter, which was extremely incongruous with the atmosphere of the boathouse.

"Lord, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the Wu family's shipyard." Xu Guanzhong looked at it and said to Jiang De.

Jiang De snorted, and when those family guards saw Jiang De and his party, they smiled and said, "Here we go again." ”

An old man with filial piety stepped forward, his face was full of sorrow, and he arched his hand to Jiang De, "I don't know where Xiaolang came from, my Wu family shipyard has recently had a white affair, and there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me." ”

Jiang De dismounted with a bang, only to see more than a dozen people led by Niu Gao behind him dismount with a bang, everyone's movements were completely the same, and there was a murderous aura in an instant, and the guards who watched couldn't help but take a step back.

Xu Guanzhong stepped forward and said to the old man, "Please also report, Jiang De, Jiang Xiaolangjun of the Daimyo Mansion Qionglou, Jiang Xiaolangjun came to visit, we have heard that there is a white matter in the Wu family's dock before we came, this is the incense, candle, paper money and white gifts we brought." ”

The old man had obviously heard of Qiong Lou, and he said with some trepidation, "This... I don't know what Xiao Langjun is doing this time? ”

Jiang De said with a smile, "You will naturally know when the time comes, so report it quickly." ”

When the old man heard this, he looked at Jiang De suspiciously, but he still hurriedly ran in to report, and not long after, he came out and said, "My little lady let Lang Jun in, but the mourning hall is small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate too many people, so..."

Jiang De smiled and said loudly, "Niu Gao, you and Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhu and I go in, Li Zhong, take the brothers to stay here." ”

"No!" All the warriors shouted in unison, Li Zhong took the iron spear in his hand, rode on his war horse, came to the intersection, turned the horse's hooves, and the tip of the spear was pointing, and he didn't know whether it was the Wu family's dock or other guards.

Jiang De said to the old man who was in a daze, "Let's go in." ”

The old man hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Langjun, please come with the old man." ”

Walking into the shipyard, the first thing to see is a lot of wood and materials piled up next to it, there are a few boats built to half on the dock by the river, on the riverside, there is a mourning hall built with bamboo and wood, Jiang De and others have not yet entered, a few people in white clothes walked out, led by a woman in white, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a small face and red lips, apricot eyes and moth eyebrows, the color of the eyebrows is very light, the figure is petite, and the hair is a little messy, it can be seen that he has no intention of taking care of it, his eyes are full of sorrow, and his face is a little too pale, It should be caused by excessive anxiety and not having a good rest, next to her is a little child, who looks like he is only seven or eight years old, this little boy tightly grasps the corner of the woman's clothes, and looks at Jiang De and the others with a nervous face.

The woman arched her hand to Jiang De and said, "Wu Di, the temporary manager of the Wu family, has seen Jiang Xiaolangjun, my Wu family and the Jiang family don't seem to have any contacts, I don't know what happened to Xiaolangjun this time?" ”

Jiang De looked at the mourning hall and said, "I came to Mingzhou to play this time, and on the way, I heard that Old Man Wu is kind and charitable on weekdays, and I yearned for it, but I didn't expect to have a chance to see it, so I could only come to light incense to show my respect." ”

Wu Di heard Jiang De say this, sighed twice, and finally said, "Please also come in and incense!" ”

Jiang De arched his hand, thanked him, and then took a look inside, there were really a lot of people.

I saw only seven or eight men in brocade and satin clothes sitting on the side, each with their toes high, in the middle was a spiritual seat and a brazier, a white-haired old woman was crying while adding paper money to the brazier, and there were many people in linen and filial piety next to them, and many people dressed as boatmen in white clothes stood aside, glaring angrily at those people in brocade and satin clothes.

"There are a lot of people, it seems that Old Man Wu's reputation is not fake, otherwise where would so many people come here to mourn?" Jiang De deliberately said loudly to Xu Guanzhong.

"Phew! What is not fake! I said, Wu Xiaoniang, we have been sitting here for a day, when will the money be repaid, hurry up and give a word! ”

"Yes! When my family saw the face of your old man Wu, I borrowed 20,000 yuan from you, and I don't want any money now, you just need to pay me back the money! ”

"Shopkeeper Li, your family has a big business, I can't do it, the 15,000 yuan plus the profits, not a penny less, if you don't pay it back today, don't do it anymore in your mourning hall!"

"That's it! This debt repayment is justified, and we are justified wherever it is said! ”

When a few people in brocade clothes heard Jiang De's words and saw Wu Di coming in, they made a noise again, only to see Wu Di bowing his head and not saying a word, the little boy buried his head in Wu Di's dress, and didn't dare to come out, and the crying old woman was crying louder.

"I said..."Jiang De said softly, but his voice was swallowed up by the roar of those brocade-clothed people, and no one stopped.

"I said..."Jiang De's voice was a little louder, but still no one paid attention to him, Jiang De's eyebrows jumped, Niu Gao looked at it, and shouted loudly, "You birdmen, what are you called!" If you want to speak, if you dare to scream, I'll screw off your heads! The rest of you will have to set up a mourning hall in the future! ”

Niu Gao roared, so frightened that everyone closed their mouths, and one of them whispered, "Where did you come from, the reckless man, the voice is really loud!" ”

Jiang De said to everyone, "I don't know what grievances you have, but today I came to incense, everything has to wait until I finish the incense, and then dare to be verbose, Niu Gao, pull me out and cut his tongue!" ”

Looking at Niu Gao with an excited face, the others couldn't figure out where Jiang De came from, and didn't dare to speak for a while, Jiang De took Xu Guanzhong and the two of them to stand up after offering incense and worship, and said to Wu Di, "Steward Wu, who are these people?" Are you here to make trouble? If so, I'll help you get rid of it. ”

Wu Di smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "These are my creditors, but they can't be said to be troublemakers, I have received Xiao Langjun's intentions." Please also ask Xiao Langjun not to wade into this muddy water. ”

Jiang De sighed, looked back at everyone and said, "It turned out to be a creditor, no wonder I just asked you to repay the money, this debt repayment is fair, but this debt collection in the mourning hall is a little inappropriate." ”

An old businessman came out and said, "Wu Xiaoniang, my Qian family and your Wu family are also world friends, you and my little son still have a marriage contract, in the past, your father wanted to borrow money, but I took 100,000 yuan without saying a word, but now... Hey, as the saying goes, shopping malls are ruthless, and my Qian family also has hundreds of people to eat, and I ask Wu Xiaoniang to repay the money as soon as possible, even if it is to give fifty or sixty thousand, it is good! ”

"I said Lao'er, your child and this Wu Xiaoniang have a marriage contract, and you are still working hard with each other, is it too much?" Niu Gao couldn't listen to it and said.

"This good man said lightly, my family is in business, and not to open a good hall, not to mention that the current Wu family has lost all their wealth, Wu Xiaoniang, I will also tell you the truth, recently my child in the poetry meeting and that Liu Juren talked very happily, that Liu master has the heart to recruit my child as a son-in-law, today come, I am one to ask for debts, the other is to withdraw from the marriage, of course, this matter is my money family is wrong, the bride price should be given to you as an apology!" The old man said with a righteous face, as if everything was taken for granted.

"Pay back! Wu family lady, pay back the money quickly!! ”

"Yes, if you don't pay it back, we're going to pay off your shipyard stuff!"

Wu Dixing said with beady eyes, "Uncles, my Wu family has suffered a great disaster, and now I really can't afford to pay it back, please forgive me some time." ”

"Grace? How long have we all been forgiven? In this way, I think your Wu family really can't hold on, so it's better to sell all your shipyards, and the rest... Sell your house, sell your land, sell your body, you can do it! ”

Wu Di hurriedly shook his head and said, "This shipyard is the work of my Wu family for a hundred years, and when my brother grows up in a few years, I will pass it on to him, how can I sell it?" ”

"Okay, then you'll pay it back!"

Wu Di was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

"Lord, from this point of view, this Wu family shipyard owes at least 200,000 yuan in debt, and we are afraid that it is not cost-effective to acquire them." Zhu Wu calculated in his heart and whispered to Jiang De, "But if you save it at this time, it is also to save it from fire and water, and you must be grateful, serve us, and ask the lord to think about it." ”

Jiang De thought for a while, and said to the group of people who were arguing around Wu Di, "How much does the Wu family owe you in total?" ”

Everyone looked at Jiang De, Jiang De slowly walked into Wu Di, grabbed him behind him with one hand and said, "So many people are bullying a little woman, it is inevitable that it is a bit ungentlemanly." ”

That old man Qian looked at Jiang De and said with a smile: "I said Xiao Langjun, if you want to come out, you have to know how good you are, this Wu family owes me a total of 238,000 yuan, did you come out of this head?" ”

Jiang De smiled, turned back to Wu Di and said, "How many craftsmen do you still have in the Wu family?" ”

Wu Di turned around and pointed to the many craftsmen who gritted their teeth and didn't speak, and said, "That's it, most of them have left, only these more than 100 old people have not left." ”

Jiang De looked at these people, nodded and said, "It's good to have someone!" As he spoke, he walked up to the craftsmen and said, "The Wu family has reached this point, why don't you leave, but because the Wu family owes you food?" ”

A strong man arched his hand and said, "Xiao Langjun, don't underestimate us, we are sheltered by the Wu family, we have not suffered from cold and hunger for decades, today the Wu family is in trouble, how can we leave, I only hate us but have no strength, and I can't help the little lady." ”

Jiang De smiled and said to the craftsmen, "My family also needs some boatmen, you are willing to come to my house to work, and the money per person can be twice as much as here!" In addition, I will pay Wu Xiaoniang 200 yuan each, how about it? ”

"Haha, I said, I originally wanted to rob people, so Wu Xiaoniang, so you have another 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and you can also respond to emergencies."

Wu Di's eyes dimmed, yes, where are there so many good things.

Several boatmen hesitated, but when they saw that everyone did not move, they did not dare to move.

Wu Di took a breath and said to the boatmen with a smile, "Uncles and brothers, everyone has shed blood and tears for my Wu family, today is my Wu family's incompetence, no wonder everyone, if you are willing, you can leave with Jiang Xiaolangjun, and I, Wu Di, will never stop you!"

Let alone... You all have a small family to support, and you can't pay you in the shipyard for a short time..."

Slowly, some people began to walk up to Jiang De and bow down, Jiang De gestured to Zhu Wu, and Zhu Wu said, "Those who are willing to come to me to register their names so that they can keep accounts and send money." ”

Jiang De walked in front of Wu Di, looked at Wu Di with gloomy eyes, and said, "There is still a lack of a steward in my shipyard here, I don't know if Wu Xiaoniang is willing to do things?" ”

Wu Di looked at Jiang De, his eyes were full of humiliation, Jiang De smiled, shook his hand, took more folding fans, opened it with a swoop and said, "Of course, a lady like Wu Xiaoniang, the money will not be less, ten years contract, how about I give you 100,000 yuan at one time?" ”

100,000? Coupled with the compensation to the boatman, this is already half of the Wu family's arrears, Jiang De pointed to the outside of the mourning hall and said, "In addition, my shipyard has not been built yet, I see that you are good here, how about lending me for five years and giving you another 100,000 yuan?" ”

200,000 yuan, which is enough to repay the loan, Wu Di looked at Jiang De with an incredible expression, Jiang De smiled and said, "I don't lose money in this business, what do you see?" ”

"Wu Xiaoniang, what are you still hesitating about? Say yes! ”

"That's right! Is there any other way for you? ”

Jiang De squatted down, grabbed the little boy who kept hiding back, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The little boy was a little scared and said, "My name is Wu Xuan." ”

Jiang De raised his head and nodded at Wu Di and said, "Your Wu family shipyard, I will return you in five years, how about it?" ”

Wu Di knelt on the ground at the moment and said to Jiang De, "Thank you Xiao Langjun for your help!" ”

Jiang De hurriedly helped him up and said, "You and I take what we need, it's nothing, okay, you people, the Wu family's debts will be paid off within half a month, please leave immediately." ”

"Who are you? Say 200,000 is 200,000, who knows if you are bluffing? A merchant shouted.

"My Xiaolangjun is the owner of the IKEA oil mill and Qionglou! Even the glass beads you wear around your neck are from my Xiaolangjun's factory, what is 200,000 yuan? Zhu Wu said disdainfully.

The old man Qian suddenly smiled and said, "My good daughter-in-law, this is really a great thing, in this way, your Wu family can be saved." ”

"Humph! Old thief, you won't forget what you just said, will you? Leave the marriage letter and get out of here! Niu Gao grabbed Mr. Qian, who still wanted to come forward to reminisce, and escorted him to Zhu Wu next to him, and said in his mouth, "Mr. Zhu, hurry up and write a divorce letter, don't hurt the little lady again!" ”
