Chapter 647: The Xie Clan's Annihilation Case

"Father, you are talking, what should I do? What to do? A middle-aged man paced around, sweating profusely in a hurry, and said.

"What's the panic?" An old man with gray hair said: "It's not that you have already given the second room what to say." You must know that my Xie family is not a person without roots. ”

"Father." The middle-aged man was still very anxious, but he was scolded by the old man and said: "Calm down, I'm old, Guangyutang will depend on you in the future, you are so anxious, how can I hand over Guangyutang to you with peace of mind." ”

"Yes." The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "The child knows." He sat in a chair and forced composure. But he wiped the beads of sweat from his face from time to time, proving that he was not at peace in his heart.

It was slowly getting dark. After a while, the stars lit up in the sky.

One by one, the maids took the lamps and set the meal. But neither of them had the heart to move chopsticks, so it can be seen that the old man's heart is not as calm as he said.

"Sir. Master. The voice spread far away from the front yard, and the old man stood up abruptly and said, "Here it is." ”

The middle-aged man rushed out, welcomed an old man in, and said, "Uncle Xing, I'll take you on this trip." ”

Uncle Xing said: "What the eldest young master said, my old life belongs to the Xie family, so what about a trip." ”

The middle-aged man said, "How is it?" What did Yu Yao say? ”

The Yuyao Xie clan is a Jiangnan clan, and Guangyutang is just a branch of the Xie clan. They are also accustomed to replacing the second room with Yuyao. Originally, the Xie family should be in the long room, but who added the Xie family's second room out of a Xie Qian, although Xie Qian went to work because he offended Liu Jin, but Jane was in the emperor's heart. Of course, whether it is really in the emperor's heart, I don't know if Zhang Xuan's attention for Jiajing is to use the old qualified ministers to suppress Yang Tinghe.

And Xie Qian is precisely older than Yang Tinghe's qualifications, and he is kind to Yang Tinghe. Therefore, Jiajing repeatedly promoted these old ministers, hoping to let these old ministers enter the court to suppress Yang Tinghe. Of course, Jiajing is not only interested in Xie Qian, many ministers left by Hongzhi have been recruited by Jiajing, and Xie Qian is just one of them. But for the locality, there is an emperor who takes a fancy to the ministers, and it is enough to run rampant in the locality.

Uncle Xing's face darkened suddenly, and he said, "Young Master, this is not the place to speak. ”

The eldest young master immediately understood and said, "Talking inside." ”

As soon as the old man saw Uncle Xing's face, he knew that things were not easy to handle, and said, "How is it, let's talk about it quickly." Have you seen the old lady? ”

"No, I only saw the third master, the third master said, said that the matter of the forbidden sea, the above check is too tight, the goods at the dock, don't think about it, Lord Liu of the imperial history has already done it, they will not be investigated, and we want to settle down for a few years."

"Ann counts the years." The eldest young master was furious and said, "It's restless to dare to invite us. When the second room asked for money, it was like a wolf and a tiger, and now when I use them, I can push it so quickly. Dare to love hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, all fed to the dogs. ”

"Alright." The old man said, "Do you think that there is no second room, can you talk to me here?" You're in prison right now. The old man reprimanded his son and continued, "What about the silver?" What to say about silver, borrow or not. ”

Uncle Xing showed an ugly look and said, "The third master said that he has already spent a lot of money on the imperial history, and there is nothing superfluous. ”

"Boom." With a bang, the old man slammed his crutches on the ground. said: "Good one." There is nothing superfluous anymore. ”

Guangyutang's branch, which can't study, does business on the surface, but secretly does the hookup of maritime businessmen. They make a lot of money, and most of them are enshrined in the second room. Otherwise, do you think that anyone who wants to do this business can do it? Who are those unlucky ghosts who are always found by the government?

So. For the big families, the sea ban has always been the better, if you can't help it, how to set the threshold, drive out the competitors, except for people with enough background, whoever does maritime business, who has to die.

This is the iron law of the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, the previous paragraph is that Dongyong has exploited the loophole, and there is Zhengde's approval, the maritime trade centered on Penghu is booming, and it seems that it is in full swing. Moreover, the atmosphere of reading in Jiangnan is the highest, and those big businessmen who have made money are desperately for their children to study, hoping that their children can take the Jinshi exam and change their courts.

These big families discussed behind closed doors, thinking that this is not good, such a world is declining, and it is full of copper smell, how is it good, it is very bad. They discussed how to deal with King Yong, and found that King Yong's backer was too hard to move, as long as he died down. When Zhengde was going to pass on to King Yong, they were not happy, King Yong was just a prince, he had already brought them such a big trouble, if King Yong ascended the throne, it would be okay, so they were determined to stop King Yong. This is their common interest.

Although it was Yang Tinghe's decision to support King Xing, it may not be without their support.

However, who knew that Jiajing actually moved the real thing. forcibly cut off their financial routes.

However, these big families understand the political wind best, and now it is the contradiction between Jiajing and King Yong, so they can't be top with Jiajing at this time, Yuyao Xie's opinion must have been asked by Xie Qian, and it was Xie Qian's decision. For the Xie family, the family is big, and the sea trade is stopped for a few years, is there nothing? After all, the foundation of the Xie family is not sea trade, but the imperial examination, but Xie Qian.

But Guangyutang can't.

Guangyutang is under the protection of the Xie family, and he is afraid of nothing when he does sea trade. I made an order of hundreds of thousands of taels with the people at sea, and the deposit of 200,000 taels has been received. But all the goods were checked by the imperial history, and Guangyutang was hollowed out at once. Now the officials don't have to worry, but the deposit given by sea has to be returned to them.

But where is there any silver in Guangyutang, not to mention the goods filled in, they are all purchased with silver, and the deposit of 200,000 taels is all spent.

"However, the third master gave a post." Uncle Xing said: "It's the old lady's post, let the old man take this post to the government, and the government will naturally protect the safety of my family." ”

The old man said: "He wants me to repay the debt, I thank someone for half my life in business, relying on a letter, he Xie Laosan's face is face, I thank someone's face is the sole of the shoe." ”

"But what now?"

The old man's face was blue and white for a while, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The eldest young master and Uncle Xing hurriedly supported him left and right and said, "Master." ”

The old man's mouth was full of blood, and he said, "Sell the house, sell the land." This hole must also be filled. ”

"Father, you can rest for your life." The two of them hurriedly helped the old man to the bedroom, settled down, and sent someone to call a doctor overnight, and they were on duty all night, and they were busy all night.

The doctor came over to take a look and said, "Old man Xie is caused by overthinking, and now he can't tolerate great sorrow and joy. I prescribed him some soothing medicine to recuperate for a while. This disease is all in recuperation, and those troublesome things will be hidden from him. ”

The eldest young master said, "Thank you, doctor. He turned his head and said to Uncle Xing, "Uncle Xing wrapped a letter of silver and sent it to the doctor." ”

"Yes." Uncle Xing said.

Finally sent the doctor away, and the old man settled down, and it was almost dawn.

The eldest young master didn't feel the slightest sleep, and said to Uncle Xing, "What should I do about this matter?" Did Uncle Xing pay attention? ”

Uncle Xing is the housekeeper of the Xie family, he is the most trusted, and his skills in observing words and emotions are almost at the full level, he can hear it with his eyes, the eldest young master has paid attention, and he is not here to ask for any opinions at all, but to inform him.

Uncle Xing said: "The old slave has no owner of the six souls, please pay attention to the eldest young master." ”

The eldest young master said: "The house and the fields are the foundation of my Guangyutang, the back road, it can't be sold, and my father is like this, and then sell the house and field in the family, where can my father afford to live, I decided to do it according to the attention of the second room." ”
