Chapter 5: Visiting Daddy
Although it took a lot of effort to finally clear up the affair with King Qin, the bankruptcy of the Han family was a foregone conclusion.
Han Sheng'er thought about it again and again, the most important thing is to rescue Han Weijun, the father of the original owner, and it is always a good thing to have one more helper.
Therefore, at noon that day, Han Sheng'er asked the cook in the palace to make some wine and food, and took it to visit Han Weijun in the prison.
The prisoners were imprisoned on all sides of the prison, and when they saw someone coming in, they hurriedly stretched out their hands, crying and howling for wrongs, and Han Sheng'er was frightened, so she could only try to avoid their hands and find Han Weijun's location under the leadership of the jailer.
Seeing Han Sheng'er, Han Weijun's tears fell immediately, and he also cried wolf: "Sheng'er, my father is wronged......"
Han Sheng'er was shocked by his crying, and couldn't help knocking on the door of her head: "Dad, if you have something to say, your daughter will help you." ”
Han Weijun stopped crying at this time, and looked at the food box in Han Sheng'er's hand with a sob, his eyes were full of longing, he must have never eaten well since he was imprisoned in the prison, with his pampered background, he would definitely not be able to stand it in prison.
Han Sheng'er sighed, took out the contents of the food box and said, "My daughter just heard about the bankruptcy of the Han family today, and the matter of your father being arrested, I specially asked the cook to prepare some food, Dad, you said slowly, if there is anything, our family will solve it together." ”
Han Weijun is about forty years old, although he is in prison, he is still wearing gorgeous satin clothes, and his figure is slightly fat, at first glance, he is the kind of rich merchant landlord, although he is not her biological father, but she now occupies the body of the original owner after all, the original owner died of shame, she helped the original owner rescue Han Weijun, and it can be regarded as doing some filial piety for the original owner, and also let herself feel at ease.
The defeat of the Han family, she heard Chunxue sneering before, but after all, it was not very clear, she only knew that it was related to the order given to the Han family by the imperial court, if you want to rescue Han Weijun, you have to inquire about the details clearly in order to have a countermeasure.
Han Weijun took the meal and devoured it, and halfway through eating, he raised his head to look at Han Sheng'er's forehead and asked, "Sheng'er, why did your head hurt?" But Xiao Jingze's kid saw that the Han family was defeated, and he didn't treat you well, he injured you? ”
“……”
Han Sheng'er twitched the corners of her lips, she had been standing here for a long time, did Han Weijun finally see that she was injured?
But fortunately, she could see that although this father was confused, he still cared about the original owner.
Han Sheng'er said lightly: "I'm fine, I accidentally hit the threshold when I went out in the morning and injured myself, it has nothing to do with the prince." ”
But this remark, in the eyes of Han Weijun, was to excuse Xiao Jingze, and he couldn't help but feel even more uncomfortable.
Holding the bowl of rice, he cried and wiped his tears: "Sheng'er, it's all your father who can't stand you, it's your father who has tired you......"
Some time ago, the imperial court took out 3 million taels of silver, ordered 10,000 good horses from Han Weijun, and 100,000 swords for the border war, Han Weijun thought it was profitable, but he never thought that it was this order that killed him.
The horse merchant who originally cooperated with him, all the horses delivered were old, weak, sick and disabled, and when they were sent to the imperial city, almost half of them died, and the remaining half were infected with the epidemic and could not even stand up, and they also infected the horses of other families in the imperial city with the epidemic, causing him to pay others a lot of silver, and the swords forged by his own craftsmen were mixed with impurities and drenched by the rain, and they were all rusted and unusable.
Seeing that the deadline set by the imperial court had arrived, in order to be able to deliver the goods in time, he had to mortgage the Han family's property and shops and buy swords and horses from other places at a high price, but he didn't expect that those people would run away directly with his money.
After several tosses, the Han family's property was all gone, and he still owed a huge debt of 30,000 taels of silver.
Hearing this, Han Sheng'er blinked: "So, as long as the delivery can be made in time, won't the imperial court blame you?" ”
Han Weijun pursed his lips and said in frustration: "That is what I said, but now that we are penniless, even if we have money, where can we buy such a huge amount of horses and swords around Gyeonggi?" Sheng'er, Daddy is really hopeless this time......"
Han Sheng'er grinned and smiled: "Dad, don't worry, my daughter won't let you die." ”
She paused, and then asked, "Dad now knows, who is secretly harming my Han family?" ”
Han Weijun sighed: "Who else could it be?" Naturally, it's your uncle, and now the Han family is all in his hands! ”
The original owner's uncle, Han Weigu, and Han Weijun are not the same mother, and this matter has to start with the original owner's grandfather.
When the grandfather of the original owner went out to do business and met a Yanlou woman, he fell in love with the woman for one night, and after returning to the imperial city, under the arrangement of the Han family, he married the grandmother of the original owner, but not long after, the Yanlou woman came to the Han family with her child.
Because the woman had no name and no points, and the original owner's grandmother's family was powerful, the Han family was unwilling to take in the woman, so they only agreed to keep the child, claiming that it was the child of the original owner's grandmother, and drove the woman out of the house, but the woman was still entangled for a long time, and when the original owner's uncle grew up, he revealed his life experience and inventory, and the mother and son also joined forces inside and out, secretly plotting to seize the Han family's family property.
In the end, the East Window incident, the woman committed suicide and died, and the original owner's uncle was also kicked out of the Han family.
Han Sheng'er asked suspiciously: "Even if the uncle has the intention to frame him, Dad, you are not a careless person, why did you ...... this time?"
Han Weijun had a tangled expression: "I just mistrusted them, thinking that when I saw the goods, I would be able to put my mind at ease, who would have thought that they would give me this hand?" It was obviously a good horse, but after it was delivered, it was replaced with a sick horse, and the sword was ...... I've also tested it myself......"
Hearing this, Han Sheng'er raised her eyebrows and asked, "Dad, did you really see those good horses and swords?" ”
Han Weijun nodded firmly, and Han Sheng'er smiled slightly: "In this way, Uncle is really well prepared this time." ”
Seeing Han Sheng'er's leisurely and confident appearance, Han Weijun's eyes widened: "Sheng'er, what do you mean?" ”
Han Sheng'er said lightly: "Dad, have you ever thought that since this matter was planned by the uncle, then, those horse merchants and craftsmen must have been bought by him, since you have seen good horses and swords, but the goods you received are not good, then think about it, where are those good horses and swords that meet the requirements of the imperial court?" I think it must be in the hands of the uncle. ”
Speaking of this, she smiled coldly: "Uncle wants to see you being questioned by the court, and then take out those things to make meritorious contributions to the court and take your place in front of the court, wishful thinking is good, but...... I'm going to make him lose all his money this time! ”
