Chapter 13 The roof leak happened to be rainy
Huo Zixing thought that he had misheard, was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "What do you say about your master?" ”
The Lu family's subordinates couldn't hide their disdain in their eyes, and their tone was also a little gloating: "Second Master Huo, the small thing is that my master has something urgent, and he will enter Beijing this morning." ”
Huo Zixing was taken aback: "Nonsense, your lord made an appointment with me early tomorrow to enter Beijing with the cargo ship tomorrow, and if he left in the morning, why did you come to report in the evening?" ”
The Lu family pouted, and said secretly in their hearts: The reason why my lord asked me to report the news in the evening is not because he doesn't want people to follow in vain? By now that you know, my lord is already a hundred miles away.
He said: "If Second Master Huo doesn't believe it, you can go to the dock tomorrow morning to see if my master has left." ”
After speaking, the Lu family walked away.
Where can Huo Zixing wait until tomorrow morning, he immediately called someone to go to the Lu family to inquire.
An hour later, the person who inquired about the news came back and heard from the porter of the Lu family that Master Lu left just after dawn.
Huo Zixing was sitting on pins and needles, he didn't know what was going on.
He and Master Lu have always been good friends, and the day before yesterday he also bought tea and sent it to Master Lu's house, which was only two days, why did Master Lu leave first without even saying hello?
When the second wife saw it, she had to persuade him: "Master Lu thinks that there is something urgent to come, and the master doesn't need to worry, in short, Master Lu left a day earlier than you, and you can see it when you go to Bofu when you arrive in the capital." ”
Although he felt that this matter was strange, Huo Zixing was still relieved when he remembered the two ships of goods parked at the dock.
Early the next morning, Huo Wu and Huo Shiyi accompanied their father to the canal wharf. Huo Zixing brought a lot of luggage, in addition to the clothes and supplies he carried, he also brought generous gifts to the third master of the Wang family, along with the daughters and children of the third master of the Wang family, they also prepared their own gifts, so there were six or seven cages alone.
Huo Wu commanded the people to move the cage to the boat, but before they could get on the boat, they were stopped by two big men waving their hands.
Huo Wu knew that this was someone from the Cao Gang, so he said: "Two, we are the Huo family, and we are also the proprietors of this batch of goods, these are my father's luggage, don't work for a few brothers to help, we can move it ourselves." ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and handed it over.
Unexpectedly, the people of the Cao Gang didn't look at it, and said with a cold face: "What is the Huo family, when did the Huo family become the proprietor, these goods obviously belong to the Lu family, go and go, they will send a ship, don't make trouble." ”
When this batch of goods was loaded, Huo Zixing and Huo Wu had all come, and the people of the Cao Gang had seen them, but at this time, they seemed to be completely unaware, and they were all Master Lu when they opened and closed.
Huo Wu was only sixteen years old, which was the age of blood and strength, and when he saw that these people not only let them get on the boat, but even pretended not to know him, he immediately became anxious, pointed to his father who was standing not far away and yelled at the Cao Gang: "Don't you know my father? We belong to the Huo family, and who in Hangzhou doesn't know that we and Yongfeng are the same Huo family. ”
The people of the Cao Gang were happy when they heard it, and said to Huo Wu: "Since it is with the Yongfeng family, then the goods of the Yongfeng will also be shipped tomorrow, so you can come back at that time." ”
After speaking, a few more men came over, some removed the ship's board, and some untied the rope, seeing that the ship was about to leave.
At this moment, Huo Zixing was also anxious, what does it have to do with him whether Yongfeng sends a ship or not, these two boats of seafood are his goods.
He rushed up to theorize, but where would the people of the Cao Gang listen to him, and the father and son were hit a few times during the pushing, and finally watched the two cargo ships leave the dock.
Huo Wu's eyes were good, and he pointed to a person who came out of the cabin and stood on the deck and said to Huo Zixing: "Dad, look, that's the second child of the Lu family." ”
Huo Zixing also saw it, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, it turned out that the second child of the Lu family had been hiding in the cabin, just now they clashed with the people of the Cao Gang, but the second child of the Lu family not only testified for him, but also hid in the cabin and refused to show up.
At this time, Huo Zixing finally understood that Master Lu was the king of the eight who ate the scales, and he was determined to get rid of him.
Huo Zixing's head was buzzing, among the two ships, six CDs belonged to him, and the remaining forty percent belonged to Wang Sanye and Master Lu. He is the major shareholder, but now Master Lu has run away with these goods.
According to the original plan, although Wang Sanye only accounts for 20% of the shares, he has to take the lion's share when he pays dividends, which is also a disguised gift of silver to Wang Sanye.
But now, even if Wang Sanye still gets the lion's head, in his eyes, the person who gave him the silver has also become Master Lu.
But Master Lu was originally an in-law of the Wang family, even if they didn't do business together, they were broken bones and tendons, and there was no need for the Lu family to rush to send silver.
Thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, Master Lu deliberately did not let him catch up with Wang Sanye.
Watching the two big boats go farther and farther, Huo Zixing only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and the few places beaten by the Cao gang hurt hotly, but he didn't care to see the doctor, so he let his two sons go to the Lu family with his support.
Although Master Lu and Second Brother Lu have gone to the capital, the Lu family is still there.
He wanted to go to Lu's house to ask for an explanation.
But the things he didn't expect were one after another, he couldn't get on the boat at the canal wharf, and he couldn't enter the door when he arrived at Lu's house.
Even though their father and son scolded at the gate, the Lu family did not let them in.
There were more and more onlookers, but after a while, the people in the yamen came, and Huo Zixing knew that the people of the Lu family quietly went out from another gate and reported to the yamen.
The second wife was playing leaf cards with the maids, and someone came to report that the second master, the fifth master, and the eleventh master were all arrested by the government, and she didn't react for a while.
Huo Zixing went out in the morning, and when he paid the fine at home and picked him up from the yamen, it was already the second watch.
Huo Zixing was so angry that he fell ill that night.
He lay on the hospital bed and beat his chest, scolding Master Lu for his treachery, and even ignoring his friends for the sake of money.
After the second wife learned about this from her son, she was also so angry, she sold two shops and a thousand acres of paddy fields, not just to catch up with the royal relatives in the capital, Master Lu has no conscience!
After scolding, the second wife calmed down, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. Fortunately, there is still a big business in Dinghai, if she hadn't told the second master about the You family, what would they do to block the Wang family's batch of goods now?
She hurriedly moved this matter out to comfort Huo Zixing, but Huo Zixing was not happy. Although Master Lu is ungrateful, he still has money to share in this business, and what he feels sorry for is not money, but Wang Sanye!
