Part 4 Maritime Silk Road 27, swagger and deception

After everyone finished eating, Lin Shaoqi and Ma Wu accompanied Pang Fu back to the flower hall and walked to the door, but saw Guo Yi sipping tea, but there was a crying young man sitting opposite, and the three of them were a little surprised. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

"Who is this son from General Guo?" Pomford asked in a low voice.

Ma Wu looked at Lin Shaoqi, and Lin Shaoqi hadn't heard of Guo Yi's relatives here.

At this time, Guo Yi stood up and introduced: "Steward Pang, this is Shen Mao, the younger brother of Shen Daguan, who just came from Nanjing, and said that he wanted to discuss something important with you. ”

So, Shen Mao hurriedly stopped crying, made a gesture to Pang Fu before getting up, and introduced himself endlessly.

Pang Fu motioned for everyone to take a seat, and a maid offered fragrant tea, and then asked Shen Mao what he meant.

Shen Mao first complimented Pang Fu, and then repeated what he had just said to Guo Yi.

Pang Fu felt incredulous when he heard this, and asked, "Shen Gongzi, in this way, your brother asked you to borrow money from me?" ”

"Exactly, my brother wants to purchase raw silk for two galleons, and there is at least a gap of more than 500,000 taels of silver." Shen Mao replied.

Pang Fu blew the heat on the tea bowl and said slowly: "If you want to say that your Shen family is worried about borrowing this bit of silver, I sent you all the way to Zhangzhou, and I said it to make the people of the world laugh and lose their big teeth." Of course, nearly a million taels of silver made your brother-in-law ruined, and anyone who listened to it would feel distressed. But I think that Wu Gongzi really didn't spend his money on crooked ways, and letting the world's scholars write and get money is a great merit, and among the thousands of people in the academy, maybe there will be a few more Luo Guanzhong and Shi Nai'an from a hundred years ago, which is really good! ”

Shen Mao became anxious when he heard this, stood in front of Pang Fu and bowed again, and begged: "Saving an emergency is like fighting a fire!" Now the Westerners of the Hongmao Pavilion in Yuegang are still waiting for us, I heard that there is a Westerner who has a silver mine at home, and asked my brother to go to Manila with them to get silver, and even invited my brother to help them open a silk factory in the New World, but far from water can not quench their thirst, if our raw silk can not be shipped, it will be discredited. ”

Pang Fu shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't believe that he was sent by Shen Qi, even if Shen Qi really had a gap of 500,000 taels of silver, there were so many money houses in Nanjing City, and the Shen family's family business could guarantee such a big family business, could no one lend him money?

After hesitating for a moment, Pang Fu replied: "More than 500,000 taels of silver is not much, but it is not much less, even if I have money here, I can't borrow it if I want to, I also got Fuzhou to ask the huge people, and when the huge people agreed, they can transport the silver to Nanjing, your brother paid the silver, and then transported the raw silk from Nanjing to Yuegang, which comes and goes, and it will be the end of the year if it is delayed, I am afraid that the Westerners of the Hongmao Pavilion cannot afford to wait." Shen Gongzi, you better go back first, and ask Shen Daguan to find a way on the spot. ”

"If my brother had a little way, he wouldn't have to send me on a trip. Brother Dang didn't know that there was a demon like Wu Xiang in the family, and now the old and young masters in Jinling City are all taking our Shen family as a joke, and they want to borrow a tael of silver, but there is no door! Even if I mortgaged the family business of Sao Lane to the money bank, people would not want to pay the cash, and my brother would be so embarrassed that he would hang himself. When Shen Mao said this, he shed tears again.

After listening to their conversation, Guo Yi became more and more suspicious of this "Shen Mansion", which was definitely not what Lin Shaoqi said, which was the clan of the former governor Liu Yao's family, and entrusted to the governor's yamen to help take care of the property. So, who exactly is the former owner of this mansion?

At this moment, Pang Fu's eyes were also purring, sometimes pouting, sometimes shaking his head, expressing suspicion of the young man who called himself Shen Mao, so he gave Guo Yi a look and motioned her to go out and chat a few words.

Guo Yi understood what Pang Fu meant, and went out with him on his front and back feet, and the two stopped in a secluded place.

"May I ask General Guo, have you ever known Shen Mao before?"

"Huge butler, tell me the truth, who is the former owner of this mansion?"

Pang Fu was very taboo about this topic, but he also knew that for Guo Yi, he couldn't hide it sooner or later, so he had to reply stupidly: "Please forgive General Guo!" This mansion is owned by Liu Qian, the account office of the former Xingji Money Village, because Liu Qian committed a mortal crime in the Zhangzhou territory, my lord was kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to see him in prison, so he was sent to the South Shaolin monk, and his family members were all sent back to their hometowns. ”

Since Pang Fu told the truth, Guo Yi also replied positively: "Don't hide it from the huge housekeeper, I don't know this younger brother of Shen Qi, but listening to what he said, it doesn't seem like a fake, but it is indeed a little strange, you quickly send someone to South Shaolin to find Zhu Hui, he knows a lot of people in the Shen family." ”

Pang Fu nodded and replied, "Good! Please General Guo do me a favor, you help me stabilize Shen Mao first, and I will send someone to Shaolin Temple to deliver the letter. ”

Guo Yi came to the flower hall again, and saw that Shen Mao was still crying sadly, so he comforted him a few words, and then asked about the secret between the Shen family and Huang Bingwen back then.

The four of them chatted for a long time, Shen Mao didn't see Pang Fu come back, and he was a little anxious, at this time, Guo Yi told him that Pang Fu had to ask Pang Shangpeng and had returned to Fuzhou.

When Shen Mao heard this, he almost jumped up, hurriedly took out a document from his body, and said, "Since he is going back to Fuzhou to find a huge person, why didn't he tell me before leaving?" If this document is not given to the great man, how can the great man lend us money? ”

"What kind of document is this?" Guo Yi asked in surprise.

"Alas, it's all old things. In order to set up the Tang Ji Weaving Workshop, he mortgaged the mansion to the then Yingtian Governor Hai, and the governor Yamen came forward as a guarantee to borrow 500,000 taels of silver from the Xingji Money Village opened by the huge people at that time. Later, the huge official was reinstated, and the Xingji Money Village founded by himself was transferred to Tang Jing and Chen Yuanhua, although they wiped out the arrears, but the house deed and land deed were not able to claim back, this document was signed by Tang Daguan and Yingtian Governor Hai Da Ye that year. Shen Mao replied.

After hearing these words, Guo Yi no longer doubted his identity, but he was still quite strange and asked, "What does this document have to do with a huge person?" ”

"My sister doesn't know, after Chen Yuanhua's accident, it affected the Tang family, causing the Tang Mansion to be copied, and the Tang family's property was confiscated by the government, and now the Tang family has been rehabilitated, the Tang Ji Weaving Workshop is a leased industry, and if it's gone, it's gone, anyway, the Tang officials don't want to do it anymore, but this mansion can't just be counted like this, haven't I already said it, my brother-in-law Wu Xiang helped Tang Jing fight the lawsuit, and the current Yingtian Governor is not unreasonable, but Tang Jing can't get the house deed and land deed, how can the house be returned to him? Now the house deed and title deed can not be found in the yamen, my brother-in-law Wu Xiang asked someone to contact Hai Daren, it is said that the house deed and land deed may still be in the hands of a huge person, I believe that a huge person should be able to remember this document when they see it. Shen Mao explained.

It seems that in these days, Tang Jing and Wu Xiang really have a lot of work, even if Wu Xiang has the time to hire someone to run a academy, then, how much time does he have to read those articles, how can he reward a million taels of silver in just over a month?

At this time, everyone suspected that Shen Mao was sent by Tang Jing, and Shen Mao seemed to realize that he had too much to say, so he couldn't help but say: "It's really not easy for Tang Daguan!" He temporarily borrowed my brother's house, and also wanted to help my brother, but he was powerless, so he asked Mrs. He to take out this document and ask me to find a huge person, which is really pitiful. ”

Shen Mao's statement is reasonable, and it doesn't look like a fake, but no matter what, he no longer believes that Wu Xiang can reward a million taels of silver, and Shen Qi will go to Nanjing, and then let his younger brother run back to borrow money.

So, Guo Yi said in a complaining tone: "Shen Gongzi, you talk about you, you have come all the way to talk about those useless, don't take the evidence that should be taken, this is good, the huge housekeeper went back to Fuzhou, if the huge people forgot about this matter and did not agree to lend you money, or agreed to lend you money, but there is no money in Zhangzhou at all, and it has to be raised in Fuzhou, then you can tell me how much you delay!" ”

"Yes, it's borrowing from anywhere, and it's the same from Fuzhou, so I'll hurry up and chase the huge housekeeper." Shen Mao said, he was about to go out in a hurry.

Wanxi stopped him at the door and said, "Gongzi of the Shen family, I'm really embarrassed, the horse you rode here may be too tired, or it may be that he is not accustomed to the water and soil, and he has eaten grain and grass and is strained, and he can't move when he lies there." ”

"What?" Shen Mao was a little incredulous, turned his head to look at Guo Yi, and asked, "Sister, saving an emergency is like fighting a fire, can you help me change a horse?" ”

Wanxi spread her hands and replied, "There is not a single horse in the house." ”

Shen Mao pinched the bag on his shoulder, thinking that the silver he brought was enough, so he gritted his teeth and walked out, at this time, Guo Yi gave Wanxi a look, so Wanxi stepped forward and knocked Shen Mao to the ground, making him scream in pain.

Wanxi squatted down and said happily: "Don't go anywhere, wait for my brother Zhu Hui honestly." ”

After a while, Pang Fu came back slowly, helped Shen Mao up, and said politely: "Childe, don't worry, I'll send someone to invite Da Da and Zhu Gongzi respectively, and we'll talk about it when they come." ”

Shen Mao thought that they suspected his identity, and defended: "Zhu Zongqi once followed Tang Jing to my house to propose marriage to Wu Xiang, I was present at the time, he would not fail to recognize me, but at the moment there is no one in the entire Ying Tianfu to help us, my brother called Tiantian, and the earth is not spiritual, since you don't help, I will personally go to Fuzhou to ask for a huge person." ”

Pang Fu still said politely: "If Shen Daguan is really in trouble, it doesn't matter how much silver he wants, I Pang Fu can call the shots, Shen Gongzi, you honestly live for a few days, have a good rest, and when Zhu Gongzi comes, let's go to contact the dart bureau, and Zhu Gongzi will personally escort the dart and escort the silver back to Nanjing, I don't know what you think?" ”

After all, Shen Mao was still young, and he knew that he had shown his eyes, and when he heard this, he beat his chest and cried bitterly......

Wanxi came over and kicked him and asked, "Say, who asked you to come?" ”

Because Tang Jing and Wu Xiang are not fuel-efficient lamps, everyone suspects that Tang Jing sent him, or that he colluded with Wu Xiang to deceive him, Wanxi asked unceremoniously: "Is it that bastard Wu Xiang stole my uncle's document and sent you to deceive the huge people?" ”

At this point, Shen Mao was a little scared, wiping his tears and shaking his head.

"So, could it be that Tang Jing sent you?" Guo Yi asked.

Wanxi prayed silently in her heart: Uncle, you must stop doing those foolish things that are self-inflicted! At this time, she found that Shen Mao shook his head again, and the hanging heart was put down, so she was no longer polite, stepped forward, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, punched and kicked Shen Mao, and beat him to the point that he was crying father and mother......

"Don't fight, good sister, I said, I said ......"

When Wanxi stopped, Shen Mao said tremblingly: "Yes, it's a disciple of Xuande Zhenren, Master Jingming......

Before Shen Mao's words fell, he heard Xuande Zhenren ask in a loud voice: "Amitayus Blessing Tianzun, what good things has Jingming done?" ”

In the blink of an eye, Xuande Zhenren came to everyone's approach and asked again, "Could it be that the evil obstacle has returned to Nanjing again?" ”

"Master Jingming first went to Songjiang Mansion, and then went back to Nanjing with me." Shen Mao replied with his head down.

Hearing that it was the unassuming Jingming who caused the incident, Xuande Zhenren was quite embarrassed and asked sharply: "What did the evil obstacle do in Songjiang Mansion?" He tried to kidnap Tang Daguan's silver before, but fortunately he was chased back by Zhu Gongzi, what are you doing with this evil obstacle to Nanjing? ”

"That's right, I went to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture to buy raw silk, and lived in Xu Kun's house, and it happened that Jingming was also there, and when I was ready to go back to Nanjing, Jingming took me secretly to meet a person, it is said that this person is the son of Ma Liangbi, the minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and I don't know what happened to offend Xu Kun, and was imprisoned in the dungeon."

About this matter, Guo Yi couldn't be clearer, for the story of the Anthorn Nest, please refer to the third volume of this book "Dark War", Xu Kun brought the Bee Nest back to his hometown, and imprisoned him, and he also had a treasure map forged by Zhang Suba.

So, Guo Yi hurriedly asked, "Where is this Ma Gongzi now?" ”

"It's not difficult to save Ma Gongzi, but we're not that stupid, he is still locked up in the dungeon of Xu Kun's house." Shen Mao replied.

Guo Yi's hanging heart also let go, and then asked, "So, what are your plans with Jingming?" ”

"Ma Gongzi told us that he had a treasure map of pirates, from the Ryukyu Palace, which was a rare and huge fortune, and that he could buy the entire Songjiang Mansion, and as long as he was rescued and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were raised, he could go to the sea to hunt for treasures. You know, I am the youngest of the Shen family, after the death of the old man Waixian, I didn't get much property when I split the family, of course, I couldn't get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, just like that, Jingming followed me to Nanjing, and after some planning, I stole Mrs. He's documents and came to the Pang family to borrow some silver. ”
