404. The Problem of Boats
Seeing Yao Hao's anxious answer, Nangong Jin laughed, "Okay, I'm just mentioning it." Oh, by the way, General Liang is Miss Yao's father-in-law, presumably Yao Gongzi knows. Back then, he gave the Yao family a large sum of silver, as if he was repairing the tomb of Miss Yao's father, right? Have you fixed it? ā
Yao Yu said nervously: "You, what did you say?" Hurriedly added, "I don't know what you said." ā
Nangong Jin nodded, "It doesn't matter, anyway, where is the Yao family's cemetery, you can ask anyone else." As the daughter of the Yao family, there is no reason to be turned away. Otherwise, even if it is sued by the government, the Yao family will ignore it. After speaking, he stood up, "Nangong said goodbye first. ā
Yao Yang also got up, as if he didn't pay attention to Nangong Jin's words just now, but saw that he was leaving, which made Yao Yang obviously relieved, and hurriedly said, "I'm not far away." ā
Nangong Jin smiled, walked to the door, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Miss Yao's father, but is it out?" ā
"It's not." Yao Yu's expression was as if he had said something wrong.
"May you venture to ask, what is he in the family?" Nangong Jin looked at him and asked with a smile.
"I don't know." Yao Hao didn't want to answer anything, just wanted Nangong Jin to leave quickly, "These are old things, I wasn't born at the time, I really don't know." ā
Finally, Nangong Jin no longer embarrassed him and went out with a smile.
After that, Nangong Jin really entrusted Feng Mo'er and asked where the Yao family's tomb was. Although worship was just an excuse, the Yao family's attitude of covering it up made Nangong Jin very impulsive. When she knew that even Yao Fangyu couldn't tell her father's name, even Feng Mo'er became curious about this matter.
This kind of family tomb usually has an old servant guarding the tomb, and the three of them did not alarm anyone, and quietly climbed over the wall to enter. Fortunately, the cemetery is not close to the place where the grave keeper lives in front, so as long as the movement is not too big, no one will find it.
"Ah Jin, how do you want to find it?" Feng Mo'er looked excited about doing something bad.
"Let's find a tomb from 30 years ago and see if there are any children and grandchildren whose names are engraved on the tombstones......."
"Then I looked for which of these names became the owner of the tomb more than twenty years ago." Feng Mo'er interrupted Nangong Jin with a smile.
Finding a tomb where you don't even know the name of the tomb owner is easy to say, but it's not so simple to do. Because, twenty or thirty years ago, piracy was rampant, and many people died in the Yao family, and the specifications of these tombs are basically the same, and none of the tombs are particularly luxurious. Could it be that the money given by Liang Lie is not to repair the tomb?
The three of them have been finding it dark, and they can only be sure that Yao Fangyu's father should be the 'Ying' generation, more than 20 years ago, three 'Ying' generations passed away, but they all died too early, not 22 years ago or 21 years ago. Eighteen years ago, there was a 'English' generation, who seemed to be the uncle who Yao Fangyu said would come to see them.
Could it be that the Yao family didn't build a tomb for him?
"Could it be, Miss Yao's father, actually not dead?" Feng Mo'er couldn't help but ask.
The three of them had already left the cemetery, and Nangong Jin felt that this trip to the cemetery had made Yao Fangyu even more silent, so she said to Feng Mo'er: "This kind of thing can't be guessed. ā
"Why is that? Even if it's a well-dressed mound, you should erect one. "Feng Mo'er doesn't give up." Didn't you say that General Liang gave the silver? If this does not stand, it is too ....... Either this son did something rebellious and was kicked out of the house a long time ago. ā
"Hey, that makes sense." Nangong Jin nodded and said along Feng Mo'er's train of thought: "Everyone doesn't want to talk about him, because he has long been removed from the clan. General Liang knew that he was a member of the Yao family, and probably knew that he had been kicked out of his home, and his dying wish was to reconcile with his family. Therefore, General Liang gave the silver, hoping that the Yao family would let him return to the family tree, but the Yao family did not agree. That's how it should be. ā
Nangong Jin looked at Yao Fangyu with a smile, feeling that her story made sense.
"If so, what does that reef island mean?" Yao Fangyu asked in a low voice, as if he couldn't forget the dead man on the island.
"I guess there's some treasure hidden in that place. General Liang will write down this address for you when he knows about it, and he should have already sold a lot of it, and the 'discount' in his account book should refer to this. Nangong Jin said: "As for that person, it may have been killed on the island later." Nangong Jin continued.
Yao Fangyu thought about it carefully, and finally shook her head, "I always feel that something is wrong." ā
The three of them chatted and went back to the inn, but they didn't expect that there were already people waiting for them in the inn. The man looked to be fifty or sixty years old, short and thin, and the clothes were of the highest quality, but they were quite old.
The man said to Nangong Jin: "This is Nangong Gongzi?" Below is Nankai Guangji Ship Yukita Shihiro. After saying this, his face blushed.
"Is there something wrong with Mr. Tian?" Nangong Jin asked with a smile.
"Yes, I want to talk about the ship." Tian Zhiguang lowered his head and spoke heavily, "Actually, Guangji Boat is no longer out of boats. For most of the year, we have ....... ā
Nangong Jin instantly understood that this person was afraid that he was also one of the people who had been cheated by the South China Sea faction. With a smile, he took Tian Zhiguang to the side of the inn and found a corner to sit down. Yao Fangyu and Feng Mo'er saw that he had something to talk about, so they went upstairs and went back to the room.
Nangong Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Tian, I am not from the South China Sea. Guangji shipping line, is it to do ocean? ā
Tian Zhiguang nodded and began to introduce Guangji, "Guangji was founded by Tian. The ancestor was a sailor, and slowly saved some money, and the earliest ship in Guangji was Tian who bought the family's ancestral property. I also followed ships when I was younger, and in this way over the decades, there were five ships as well. Of course, the ships vary in size, but we have two large ships that sail the West all year round, and we are quite famous in the south. ā
Tian Zhiguang took a breath, as if thinking about what to say later, and said with a wry smile for a while: "More than half a year ago, something happened at home, and I had to deal with all the boats, but it was still not over, and the government didn't let me go out of Nanhai City, for fear that we would repay the debt, alas, ......." ā
"Dali firm?" Nangong Jin asked.
Tian Zhiguang thought for a long time and nodded, "The children and grandchildren in the family were careless in making friends, and Tian also thought about things too simply, and as a result, he harmed everyone in the family." ā
"Is there anything between you and Xu Baoshen, um, unpleasant?" Nangong Jin is not shy about it.
Tian Zhiguang nodded with difficulty, "IāI didn't think it would be like this." Xu Baoshen has always been very ......, and he is a bag, after all, he is rich. If you borrowed 30,000 taels from me before, which firm will have 30,000 taels of silver? Besides, with such a large number, it will be troublesome to lend it out and remember it. But I still gave him five hundred taels, and I didn't think about him returning. He took the money, but it seemed to make him very unhappy. I also thought that Guangji's matter had something to do with him, but after all, there was no basis for what he said. ā
"Mr. Tian came to me, why did he come to me?" Nangong Jin asked directly.
Tian Zhiguang smiled awkwardly, "I heard that Nangong Gongzi bought the ship of the Dali Firm, can you take the liberty of asking how much it cost?" ā
Nangong Jin laughed, "This, it's not convenient to say, in short, it's also a lot of money." ā
"This, that's how it should be." Tian Zhiguang was puzzled: "We have always been a boat business, and now there is no ship, and there is no source of life, and I have thought about doing other businesses, but it is really not easy to do." At home, we discussed whether to go back to the bank. So....... ā
Speaking of this, Tian Zhiguang looked up at Nangong Jin, "Nangong Gongzi, I saw that the two ocean-going ships of my family were picked out on the dock, can you, um, transfer one ship to me?" ā
"You buy me a boat?" Nangong Jin asked.
Tian Zhiguang smiled awkwardly, "I don't know how much silver you want?" ā
"Do you still have silver?" Nangong Jinqi is surprised. It stands to reason that the person who was cheated should be penniless, and according to Dong Haishan, he should not be able to repay his debts and be confined to the South China Sea.
"We don't want to leave the South China Sea, and the additional condition of losing money is to leave. Since we don't want to leave, we don't plan to lose money, and we can make a comeback if we leave some. Tian Zhiguang explained.
Nangong Jin was surprised, this person's thinking was different from Dong Haishan's, could he still rely on the account that was cheated for him? "We have a shareholder in Xiangji who is from your Nanhai Sea, Dong Haishan, I don't know if Mr. Tian can know?"
Tian Zhiguang was stunned, looked at Nangong Jin, and then asked, "The woman before, but Yao Fangyu Yao girl?" ā
Nangong Jin nodded.
Tian Zhiguang sighed, "Nangong Gongzi is not ignorant of us in the South China Sea. ā
Nangong Jin smiled: "I'm just curious, I want to hear what Mr. Tian has to say." ā
After a while, Tian Zhiguang seemed to have figured it out, "This kind of thing is an open secret in the South China Sea." Our Tian family has a bad relationship with Xu Baoshen, not because he came to borrow silver. At that time, Xu Baoshen did borrow all over the South China Sea, but no one borrowed more than 1,000 taels of his silver. If Mrs. Han had intervened, this might not have been the case. ā
Seeing that Nangong Jin just smiled, as if he was waiting for him to follow.
Tian Zhiguang continued: "Nangong Gongzi probably knows that the next head of the Nanhai faction is the Zhang family. We, the Tian family, have always supported the Zhang family, so as long as we survive the Han family and preside over the Nanhai faction in the Zhang family, we have hope. And the Dong family is good friends with Elder Han, and they can really make a fortune because of Elder Han. ā
"To say that the three families take turns to check and balance each other, not only have they been safe and quiet for many years, but also make the Nanhai faction stronger. This time, Mrs. Han is the head of the house, and she doesn't even let go of her own people. Therefore, most of the people who left the South China Sea were originally supporters of the Han family, and those who stayed in the South China Sea were basically supporters of the Zhang family, and as for the supporters of the Ying family, many of them fell to the Zhang family. ā
Nangong Jin nodded and smiled: "The South China Sea Sect is really ...... Something interesting. ā
Tian Zhiguang smiled bitterly, "But if we want to continue to stay in the South China Sea, we have to find a way to survive." So Nangong Gongzi, the matter of the ship? ā
Nangong Jin shook his head, "I'm sorry, the boat is not for sale." ā
Hearing this, Tian Zhiguang's expression became even more bitter, and he pleaded: "Nangong Gongzi think about it again?" ā
"How much more money can you pay? One thousand, three thousand. Nangong Jin shook his head.
"I can pay five thousand." Tian Zhiguang said.
Nangong Jin still shook his head, "I don't lack silver, I lack boats." Seeing Tian Zhiguang's expression of disappointment, "However, I can rent the boat to you." ā
