Chapter 76: Kang Family Succumbs (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
"Steward Hu, can you handle this matter?" After Qin Yiming said his plan, he waited for Steward Hu's answer.
"My lord, there shouldn't be a big problem with this, it's just that this is a head-off thing, in case it ......" Steward Hu hesitated a little.
"You don't need to worry, everything is up to me to decide for you, if you do it well, I will reward you with a thousand taels, and the person who counts the treasury, I will also reward you with a thousand taels."
"Adult, the small one must be done, the manpower in the silver number of the Kang family was originally the original Hu family, and I have a relationship with these people, just small things, just small things." As soon as Steward Hu heard that there was such a rich reward, his attitude immediately changed.
"Very good, then you can handle this matter, you can ignore other things for the time being, you take the silver ticket of one thousand taels first."
"Lord Xie, Lord Xie!" Steward Hu took the silver ticket, his eyes narrowed into a line, this new master is much more generous than Hu Shoucai.
On the second day, Steward Hu pulled two boxes of silver and deposited them into the Kang family's silver number, the person who counted the silver was his old acquaintance, and he used to eat in his hands, these two boxes of silver were not real silver, they were very real fake silver, and the person who counted them saw the problem at a glance.
"Steward Hu, you want to let the shopkeeper of the Kang family know, I can't eat and walk around!" The little guy in the treasury is embarrassed.
Steward Hu pulled the man aside and whispered: "San'er, I just pulled in and pledged to eat some interest money here, you turn a blind eye, go to the inn at night to find me, and send you five hundred taels to retire." ”
"Butler Xie Hu, Steward Xie Hu!" The guy was very happy, five hundred taels, he was going to make a fortune, so he slipped away and put a seal.
"I have two boxes marked, don't think about dropping the bag!"
"Don't worry, Steward Hu, besides, even if you drop the bag, you will be paid back the real silver, what are you afraid of?"
"That's not going to work, this fake silver is more useful than real silver."
But within two days, this matter was known to the Kang family, and when the shopkeeper of the Kang family counted the treasury silver, he saw the problem at a glance, so he reported it to Miss Kang.
"This silver must not flow out, otherwise the reputation of our Kangjia Silver will be completely finished, and there will be a run on it when the time comes, and now the silver has been invested in the rice shop, but it can't withstand such a risk." Although Miss Kang was angry, she was very sensible.
"Shopkeeper He, why did this happen? You can't escape the blame, Cui'er, take all the account books of the silver number to my study, I want to find out who did it! ”
Shopkeeper He knelt on the ground and cried: "Miss, I should be damned, I have been with the master in the Kang family for all these years, and I have never made such a mistake, and Miss doesn't need to check it, this is all a good thing that Huang San'er did, this guy was originally a member of the Hu family, after we took over, we couldn't find anyone for a while, so we used the old man before the Hu family, which gave the thieves a chance, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." ”
"What's the use of crying, do you know who sent this batch of fake silver?"
"I don't know, this Huang San'er saw me enter the silver vault yesterday, and I don't know when this fake silver was deposited, otherwise we can find out who it is, but I will hand-pick the silver vault once every half a month, and I think it's what happened in this half month." Shopkeeper He analyzed.
When Cui'er heard it, how many people have to go in and out in half a month, how can you check this?
"Miss, what should I do? When the other party comes to ask for silver with the voucher, aren't we going to suffer a big loss? ”
"This matter is easy to investigate, this amount of silver is large, and it can be eliminated quickly, but we can't wait for the other party to take it, then it's too late, we have to find this person first!"
"Miss, could it be someone from the Xu family?" Cui'er was suspicious.
"The Xu family? If it really has something to do with the Xu family, then we will lose! ”
The next day, Kangjia Yinhao issued a notice, saying that Kangjia Yinhao had been robbed and the bank was stolen, and all customers were invited to take the initiative to register.
When Steward Hu heard the news, he was shocked, although it was fake silver, but this was the task that Qin Yiming gave him, how to deal with it if it was not done, he personally went to the Kang family silver number and walked around, and found that there was indeed a big hole in the wall of the warehouse of the Kang family silver number, and he was immediately convinced, so he walked into the Kang family silver number and made a registration, but he didn't think that he had just finished registering, and he was arrested by the Kang family.
Shopkeeper He took the silver in his hand, checked it, slowly approached Steward Hu, and asked angrily: "Hmph, Steward Hu, you eat things inside and out, you were originally the housekeeper of the Hu family, and the head of the Hu family is our Kang family, and now you are actually framing the head of the family." ”
Steward Hu was pressed by the shoulders of two strong men, tied to a high-backed chair, unable to move, and was also afraid in his heart, he still wanted to quibble.
"I don't have it, I'll just save some silver and eat some interest, what's the matter, can't I?"
Shopkeeper He smiled: "Hehe, Steward Hu, I've been dealing with silver all my life, can't I see your trick?" This is iron silver, I can see at a glance, this fake silver is filled with iron in the heart of silver, do you want me to take a knife and cut it open for you? ”
Steward Hu saw through it and stopped talking.
"Hmph, if I hadn't found out earlier, I would have almost been succeeded by you, saying, who instructed you?"
Steward Hu suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, it doesn't hurt to tell you, this is what Lord Qin asked me to keep!" ”
In the next room, Miss Kang's family was shocked when she heard that it was Lord Qin, she was not familiar with Qin Yiming, but she had seen Qin Yiming's exaggerated performance outside Xu's house that day, and she was quite impressed.
"How could it be him? Is it for the Xu family? ”
"Miss, what shall we do?" Cui'er asked.
"What else can I do? Now that the fake silver has been deposited, we have already lost, let go, those two boxes of fake silver, according to the real silver, will be compensated to Lord Qin, and the rice shop will also be closed! Miss Kang made her choice without hesitation.
"Miss, then we will lose a lot, there are 10,000 taels of fake silver alone!" Cui'er is unwilling, this dumb person is too angry.
"What else can I do? Our Kang family is the biggest silver number in the Ming Dynasty, and there are semicolons in the two capitals and thirteen prefectures, if the news of this fake silver spreads, our losses will be even greater! ”
Kang Shengnan had already suppressed Xu Zhen'er to death, and she was about to finish, but now that her previous efforts have been abandoned, she is very unwilling, but what can she do if she is unwilling? Could she still fight with Qin Yiming? The strong dragon can't overpower the snake on the ground.
"Grandpa said that if you want to do a big business, you must first lay the groundwork for important local people, it seems that I am too anxious." Kang Shengnan began to examine himself.
On the second day, Kangjia rice shop was closed, and the rice price in Anlu County rose all of a sudden, and Xujia rice shop was prosperous and the passenger flow continued.
"My sister has just arrived, I don't know the depths, I get involved in rice grain, I regret it, now the rice shop is closed, my sister is open-minded, don't care about ......"
Xu Zhen'er also received a handwritten letter, written by Miss Kang's family, which probably said that the Kang family would never get involved in grain and rice trading in Anlu again, please rest assured.
Xu Zhen'er didn't know how Qin Yiming did it, but she knew that Qin Yiming was making trouble in the middle, but no matter what, their Xu family had survived the difficulties.
