Chapter 1985: Arriving at the Pang Family
Han Kingdom, Xuanwu County, Qishan Town.
The Pang family.
"Yi'er, why are you back?"
"Dad!mother!big brother!" After Pang Yi went home, she threw herself into the arms of her family and cried loudly, "Yi'er is useless"
"What the hell is going on?" The people of the Pang family actually noticed Jia Zhengjin and Nuwa in the back, but because Pang Yi came back suddenly, they were anxious to ask him what happened.
"The ship has sunk!" Pang Yi cried bitterly in her father's arms, "All the goods have also been lost! The crew is gone, if it weren't for Engong, Yi'er would have died in the belly of the fish at this moment!"
"What?!The goods are gone?!" Hearing this, Master Pang only felt that the sky was spinning, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Daddy!" the eldest son hurriedly hugged his father, "Are you alright?"
"So many goods, so many goods are gone?" Master Pang had gold stars in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to point at Pang Yi, "You unfilial son!"
"Master!" Seeing this, Mrs. Pang hurriedly protected her son, "It is not easy for Yi'er to return safely, is it possible that the goods are more precious than Yi'er in your eyes?"
"Dad, it's the child's fault, you can punish you however you want!" Pang Yi knelt down, "You can beat me to death!"
"Master!" Mrs. Pang hurriedly stopped Pang Yi behind her.
It took a while for Master Pang to reluctantly smooth it over, at least he didn't faint excitedly on the spot.
The sinking of that shipload to the bottom of the sea was an extremely huge loss for the Pang family.
"Master, let's put the cargo thing first. In order to prevent her husband from punishing her beloved second son, Mrs. Pang hurriedly changed the topic, "We have to thank Engong." If it weren't for him, Yi'er might not have come back!"
"Yes, Dad!" Pang Yi nodded hurriedly, "If it weren't for Daoist Jia's help, the child's life would not be guaranteed." ”
Master Pang nodded, slapped his chest hard to calm himself down, barely showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and walked in front of Jia Zhengjin: "Daochang Jia, it's neglected! Old man Pang You, thank you for saving Yi'er." I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, I was a little out of shape for a while, I hope the Taoist will forgive me!"
"Blessed longevity immeasurable Tianzun! Master Pang is polite. Jia Zhengjin imitated the Taoist monk and saluted with a smile.
"Concubine Pang Liu, thank you for saving Yi'er!" Mrs. Pang hugged Pang Yi, who was soaking wet, tightly, not caring about the gorgeous clothes on her body at all.
"Engong, for your help, Pang Li is grateful!" Pang Yi's eldest brother also came over to thank him.
"It's hard to do it!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Since the person has been delivered, it is time for the poor road to go." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to leave with Nuwa.
"Engong and slow!" Pang Yi hurriedly broke free from her mother's arms, ran over and said anxiously, "There is no way to repay the great kindness, please come to the house as a guest!"
"Yes, Engong!" Pang Liu came over and saluted, "For the grace of saving lives, the Pang family is grateful." Please also come to the house. ”
"Daochang Jia, the old man is a rough man and can't say pretty things. Pang You said, "Although I lost a shipload of goods, at least this kid came back safely thanks to the Taoist leader." From today on, you are my Pang family's honored guest, and the old man will immediately prepare coarse tea and light rice to entertain the Taoist, please don't dislike it!"
"Engong, you saved your little brother, and you are the great benefactor of my Pang family!" Pang Li leaned over, "Please go to the cold house and sit down for a while!"
Jia Zhengjin wanted to send people away, but the Pang family was enthusiastic, and finally they were surrounded into the mansion.
All the delicacies of the mountains and seas were put on the table, and in order to express their gratitude, the Pang family was very enthusiastic.
At the banquet, Master Pang inquired about the whole process of the matter.
Jia Zhengjin deleted the unnecessary content from the process of hearing the sound of help, seeing the sunken ship, and rescuing Pang Yi, and said it in detail.
Combined with what Pang Yi said before, the Pang family determined the truth of this matter, and a Taoist monk would not put down his body and deceive people here.
Although the loss of a large shipload of cargo and the shipwrecked crew is a big problem, and it will take a long time to deal with the follow-up, at least the second son returned safely, which is better than anything else.
Pang You, Pang Liu, Pang Li, Pang Yi, the family thanked them again and again, and even wanted to give Jia Zhengjin a large amount of gold and silver in return.
It's just that gold and silver treasures are meaningless to Jia Zhengjin, so he refuses without hesitation.
So Master Pang mentioned giving him a shop or helping him pay for the construction of a large Taoist temple, but he was also rejected.
The Pang family tried their best to find a way to repay them, but Jia Zhengjin didn't care and refused one by one.
"Then at least when the Taoist is in Qishan Town, please stay in my Pang family. Master Pang thought for a while, "The most in my house is the house, and I promise to prepare a quiet place for you." All the expenses of the Taoist chief during his stay in Qishan Town will be borne by my Pang family!"
"There's no need!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head.
"Dao Chief, at least this must be borne by my Pang family!" Pang You said urgently, "Help, I have to repay it!"
The four members of the Pang family took turns to persuade again, and finally Jia Zhengjin nodded, they had to bear their own expenses here, so be it!
That being said, Jia Zhengjin doesn't have anything to spend money on anyway, so he agreed to come down casually, at least he can be cleaner.
Master Pang and Mrs. Pang, and even Pang Yi's own brother attached great importance to him, and the words that blamed him were only one or two sentences, and they didn't mention it again. That is, it is more troublesome to deal with the aftermath and waste a lot of effort.
The death of so many crew members, pensions and miscellaneous expenses is not a small amount.
It has to be handled properly, and the families of the crew members must not be allowed to come to the door, and the other party must accept this reality and be satisfied with the way it is handled.
Although some of the crew members were sold into slavery, they did not have to worry if they died. But most of them are still employees, and the government is not easy to get along with. Dealing with the follow-up is a big trouble, and it is also dangerous for the Pang family.
If it is not handled properly, it may become a fuse and a handle in the hands of the rival family of the Pang family.
Jia Zhengjin has no other plans for the time being, and after leaving Kangjun, he just waits for the second gambling game on Yue Lang's side to be successfully established, and just kills time during this period.
When you come to Xuanwu County of the Han Kingdom, you don't have to worry about the emotional signs of Yuan Muhuan and Huo'er, just go around casually and appreciate the different scenery and humanities.
After the banquet, the Pang family arranged two of the best guest rooms for Jia Zhengjin and Nuwa, and sent people to serve them carefully, not slacking off at all.
After that, Master Pang took his second son Pang Yi to deal with the follow-up problems, and he also had to try to figure out the location of the shipwreck, so that his son could point it out on the chart.
Mrs. Pang Liu was responsible for leading people to comfort the families of the victims and sending a large sum of money to settle the matter.
The eldest son, Pang Li, is left to entertain Jia Zhengjin at home.
Pang Li arranged a little and came to Jia Zhengjin's room: "Engong, are you satisfied with this room?"
"Satisfied!" Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly.
"What's next for you?"
"I don't plan to! ”
"In this case, it is better to lead the way in Xia tonight, the night market in Qishan Town is very lively, and it is suitable for playing. ”
