Chapter 418: Saving Jiangbei (2)

Nowadays, the revolutionaries in the south must be on strict guard at the wharves along the river, and even if they go out of Nanjing, they will not be able to cross the Yangtze River, so crossing the river to call the police is the next policy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 When I was in Tianjin, I escaped through the foreigners in the concession, so they will definitely guard against it, so as not to ask the foreigners for help again. Therefore, now instead the use of the traffic telegraph room controlled by the revolutionaries in the south is the least suspected. It's just that if you go to the telegraph room to send a telegram, you will definitely be recognized, and the person's appearance can be changed, but the person's body shape and state are difficult to change.

Liu Tong thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought of a way, he could use Miss Mei'er to go to the telegraph room for him to generate electricity, not directly to Jiangbei, but to Jiangbei's liaison office in Zhenjiang, the money shopkeeper of the Chase Warehouse.

Thinking of this, Liu Tong thought about it, so he deliberately sighed, and said with a dead face: "Miss Mei'er, I want to tell you something." ”

Mei'er asked, "What's the matter, Young Master Yang?" ”

Liu Daodao: "I said before that I would marry you in the future, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it anymore, because I failed in business, and I'm afraid that I won't have the opportunity to accompany you in the future, so you should find a good family to live in the future." Didn't I originally cover you for half a year, it's only a month, and the remaining five months of money should be used as a reward for the two of us to get acquainted. In the future, you are free, you can do whatever you want, I will explain everything to Wei's mother, and the money will still be yours. ”

Mei'er panicked for a while, sat up with a handkerchief, and asked anxiously, "Young Master Yang, you can really joke, what happened?" You tell me, I'll work with you to find a way, as long as it's not a financial difficulty, even if it's a financial difficulty, if it's not a lot of money, I can help you. Mei'er is really worried about him, it is rare to have such a son-in-law who is so attentive to him, and promised to redeem her from Cuiyan Pavilion and marry her home when he gets rich in the future. However, Yang Gongzi didn't know that Miss Mei'er had already made enough money, and she would be able to redeem herself, but she would test Yang Gongzi more often, lest she marry a negative man like Du Siniang and Li Xiangjun in the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Tong didn't think about any kind of children's affection, he just used Mei'er, so he pretended to be pitiful and said: "Thank you Miss Mei'er, but you can't help me, your money should be kept for yourself, because the money I need can be done without tens of thousands of taels." Don't hide it from Miss Mei'er, my family is in the leather business in the north, and my father has always been in charge, and I am just a young owner who takes money to live, and I have no ability in business. ”

"Don't say that about yourself." Mei'er hurriedly covered his mouth, "If it weren't for this troubled world, if there was no war, and there would be a lot of singing and dancing, you would be able to earn at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in this business." ”

Liu Tong pretended to be decadent and said: "Whether the world is good or not is not something that I, a fighting grass people, can decide, but I can't see the chaos of the world clearly, it's my problem." Miss Meier doesn't have to shirk responsibility for me, it's my responsibility, and I should take it. In the past few years, my father's health has gradually deteriorated, so I gradually took over the family business. This time, I think the weather is cold, and the southern leather business will definitely be prosperous. So I persuaded my father to purchase a large number of leather goods to sell in Nanjing, who would have thought that firstly, the southerners would not want to wear leather goods, secondly, the wealthy people in the south would wear foreign cotton clothes, and thirdly, the revolutionary party besieged Nanjing, resulting in my business being trapped in Nanjing. Immortals fight mortals suffer, so no one buys my skins. A few days ago, I had just negotiated business with a foreigner, and I sold the leather goods in my hand to them at a low price, and also received a deposit of 30,000 taels of silver from the foreigner. ”

"Then I'll send it out when the city gates are wide open." Meier said innocently.

Liu Tong smiled bitterly: "But I signed a contract with a foreigner, and the contract stipulates that the goods will be delivered within three days, and I said in advance that if any accident happens, it will all be my responsibility, and I must compensate ten times." In other words, I now owe 300,000 taels of silver outside, and you say I ...... Do you think I'll be able to stay here? ”

"Huh?" Mei'er covered her cherry mouth, her eyes widened, 300,000 taels of silver, she never dreamed of so much silver, she didn't expect that the young Yang Gongzi in front of her actually owed 300,000 taels of silver, no wonder he was sad all day long, hiding in Cuiyan Pavilion and not daring to go out.

Liu Daodao: "So I told you in advance, Miss Mei'er, in a few days I will secretly take out the best furs in my goods and give them to you, you hide them by your side, don't let people find out, the estimated value can be 810,000 taels of silver, and sell them when you are short of money in the future." Remember, don't pawn, pawn can only buy a few hundred taels, you have to go to the big leather dealer and tell him that this thing is less than eight thousand taels and will not be sold. ”

Mei'er's eyes suddenly turned red, and she choked up: "Young Master Yang, what are you doing, are you explaining what happened?" ”

Liu Tong spread his hands and said: "Miss Mei'er, don't worry, I won't commit suicide, I think so, I still have a few thousand taels of silver on me, and when the ban on Nanjing City is lifted in a few days, I secretly ran to the northwest and hid in a ravine." It's sparsely populated, and no one else knows me, and the foreigners can't find me. As for you, send me an urgent telegram to my family, and tell them to sell everything in their hometown and go into hiding in the northwest. I was the first to breach the contract, and the other party was a foreigner, if they sued the government, I would be 100% judged to lose this lawsuit. My family is wealthy, but I lost five or six hundred thousand good silver before and after, and even if I was rich, I was defeated by the loser. ”

Mei'er immediately said firmly: "I will accompany you, and I will accompany you wherever you go." ”

"Miss Mei'er, our family is hiding from officials and foreigners, do you know how dangerous it is?" Liu Tongqidao.

Mei'er glared at the almond and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of death?" Yang Gongzi, don't say it, even if you become a prisoner, I will definitely follow you. ”

Liu Tong was moved, and he said: "I'll write you a note, you hurry up to the telegraph room to send a message to my family, so that they can prepare early." ”

"Okay." Mei'er said immediately.

Liu Tong wrote on the note: "My father is on top, my son's business has failed, and if he gets into a lawsuit, I am afraid that he will soon go bankrupt." The foreigners and the government will close our house in the near future, and my father should prepare as soon as possible, and he will not be filial to Yang Chen. He instructed: "The money shopkeeper sent to the Chase Store in Zhenjiang, this telegram is estimated to cost twenty taels of silver, and you take the silver." ”

Mei'er took the note, fixed her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Yang, I will definitely send the telegram over, no matter in the wind or rain, I will always accompany you." ”
