Chapter 3 Becoming a father's family without inheriting his father's business
Staff Officer Lian Kecheng carefully looked at Hugo up and down, and saw that although he had a delicate face, he was obviously still a young man, but his eyes were neither humble nor arrogant, he bowed his head slightly and arched his hands, and his body was full of calm and capable energy, and his face was extremely sincere, which made people like it very much at first glance, and couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart, and asked: "This little brother has an extraordinary bearing, I don't know if he deserves your father's family?" ”
Hugo nodded, and said in a steady tone: "This nature, this ...... Colonel Staff Officer, I don't know what to call it? I was busy in the store, and the police officer said that my father was in big trouble, and asked me to rush to the mediation hall immediately. Saying that, Hugo looked at Lao Yang next to him, and asked with a wry smile: "Director Yang?" Where did he eat this time without paying? ”
Lao Yang hurriedly asked the subordinates who had just come back to make a cup of tea for Hugo, and after the two of them sat down, he took the words and pointed at Lian Kecheng who was seated, "The one who asked you just now was the staff officer of the company, and the one standing behind him was Adjutant Xu, all of whom came to perform official duties from the Federal Metropolitan Security Department." This is the Duan steward of Tongshengfang in the town, you may have seen it. After speaking, Lao Yang took the tea made by his subordinates, put it in front of Hugo and nodded to Lian Kecheng, and said: "Formally introduce it, this little brother is Hugo, Yuqiu is his father, Hugo opened a restaurant in our town a few years ago, this is Sister Hong, and Hugo is together." I don't hide it, his father Yuqiu is a well-known gambling bastard in the town, and Yuqiu usually deals with trouble when he gets into trouble. ”
"Staff officer, take the liberty of asking, I don't know what trouble my father has caused? I really can't imagine what an officer like him and you can have to do with it. Hugo looked at Sister Hong, who was sitting next to her, looking very confused.
The staff officer of the company smiled and shook his head without speaking, and waved his hand back without turning his head, Adjutant Xu, who had been standing behind Lian Kecheng, stepped forward expressionlessly and said: "Tongshengfang is run by the Lian family, this time the colonel passed by Tongjia Town on official business, and by the way, he helped the Tongshengfang branch of the family to deal with some things." After speaking, he took out a silver siliconized screen notebook from his arms, fiddled with it a few times, and handed it to Hugo.
Hugo received it and saw that this was part of the accounts of Tongshengfang, the largest and only gambling house in the town, which clearly intercepted the details of Yuqiu's loans in Tongshengfang in the past year, and each one was recorded clearly, and there was a confirmation fingerprint pressed by Yuqiu next to it. On February 21, 423, Tongshengfang borrowed three thousand yuan with six cents, and the borrower was Yuqiu; On February 23, 423, Tongshengfang borrowed six cents of 7,200 yuan, and the borrower Yuqiu; On March 14, 423, Tongshengfang borrowed 4,200 yuan in six cents, and the borrower Yuqiu ...... The further back this account went, the more frightened Hugo became, and the amount of loans became larger and larger, while there were only a few repayment records. Those who have borrowed money in the gambling house know that the six cents of interest in the gambling house and the six cents of interest in the bank are very different, and the six cents of interest in the bank is six cents of interest, and if the usury in the gambling house cannot be repaid on time, it is calculated according to compound interest, simply put, it is commonly known as "interest rolling", if this kind of account can not be repaid on time every month, then day after month, roll down for a year......
Yuqiu's face began to get darker and darker as the siliconized screen phone slid back little by little, and a layer of fine beads of sweat gradually began to appear on his forehead, Lao Yang looked at Yuqiu and sighed softly, and said: "Little boss, I said something that shouldn't be said, you father, you are really good enough." ”
Yuqiu didn't reply, her eyes glued to the screen of the siliconized notebook. Finally, his fingers stopped sliding, and the loan account came to the end, looking at the final total settlement figures displayed on the transparent notebook screen, the beads of sweat on Hugo's forehead finally began to roll down, and the fingers holding the edge of the notebook were slightly white because of the force, and his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word. Sister Hong next to her was anxious, took the notebook from his hand, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help exclaiming:
"My God, six hundred and thirty-one thousand three hundred and twenty!"
The crowd watching outside the mediation hall heard this number, and exploded with a bang, and there was a lot of discussion in each other's ears. You must know that this number is placed in Shangdu, which may be the turnover of a high-end restaurant in a week, or the trading volume of a small market in a day. But if you put this number in Tongjia Town, it will be a bit unusual. For example, the workers in Tongjia Town who get up early and work in the mine at night are only about seven or eight hundred yuan per month, and if they want to earn enough 630,000 yuan, they have to work for 65 years without eating or drinking! When the crowd heard this number, some gamblers couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and secretly asked what they would do if they owed so much money; Some daughters-in-law watched the excitement on the side, picked up the gambling stick at home and scolded: "Gambling and gambling all day long, see if you are like that gambling bastard, gambling at home to the bottom!" The scolded scolder said that he would never gamble again, and he didn't dare to fight back.
"Stop arguing!" Lao Yang yelled outside the house, the crowd suddenly quieted down, and Hugo was also shocked to wake up. After all, he is only a teenager about twenty years old, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to react for a while when he suddenly encounters such a large loan. However, Sister Hong reacted quickly, put down the loan account in her hand, and forcibly held back the panic in her heart and asked, "This loan ...... The sun is long...... Wouldn't it be a little ...... Issue? ”
Lian Kecheng leaned back on the leather chair, crossed his fingers and lightly tapped the table, and said: "This account is very clear, and the family's accounts have also been calculated, if the girl is at ease, she can find someone to account, but it's just ......."
"Just what?" Sister Hong subconsciously grabbed the corner of the table with her palm downward, and asked nervously.
"Tomorrow is the end of the month, if it can't be accounted for tomorrow...... I am afraid that the number on this loan account will have to change again. The manager of Tongshengfang, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, took Lian Kecheng's words and said to Hugo with displeasure: "Colonel Lian has an old relationship with Tongjia Town, and he doesn't want to have any conflicts here. Otherwise, if this matter is in Shangdu, it will not be so simple. ”
"You are bullying!" Sister Hong slapped the table angrily and stood up.
"What did the girl say, it is natural to repay debts, we Tongshengfang have reported in the Federation, and we have not only opened Tongjia Town, but also do serious business, fair and legal. Deception? We are now sitting in the mediation hall discussing the solution to the problem, where is the deception? But girl, you speak aggressively and viciously......"
Sister Hong was speechless for a while, and her fast words on weekdays were blocked in her throat, and she didn't sit or stand with a flushed face. Lian Ke Chengyi raised his hand to interrupt Duan's stewardship, and said to Hugo very sincerely: "I heard that the people of Tongjia Town and Director Yang call you a little boss, and you also open a store to do business, so you should also understand some truths." I have no intention of deliberately embarrassing you, but if this gambling house business is opened and there is a loan and not to repay this opening, then everyone will come to Tongshengfang to gamble on credit, then this business is afraid that it will not be able to continue, do you say this is the truth, little boss? ”
Hugo had come back to his senses, waved his hand and pulled Sister Hong to sit down, nodded, coughed lightly and said, "Even what the staff officer said is right, I understand this truth." I can trust this account, but this amount...... I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, my restaurant, a year's turnover is this number. Saying that, Hugo stretched out his five fingers and shook them, "This is still thanks to the uncles and uncles in the town for taking care of me, so much money, I really can't take it out, I don't know if there is any other solution for the staff officer?" ”
Lian Kecheng heard the little boss in front of him say that he couldn't get the money, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked up at the Duan steward next to him, Duan steward did not squint, and said expressionlessly: "If we really can't repay it, then we Tongshengfang have to report to the court to sue for the pledge request, and then there will be the Federal Ministry of Finance to calculate the amount of the pledge and force the pledge to be repaid. Yan Bi looked at Yuqiu next to him, his eyes full of contempt.
As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of silence and the crowd was in an uproar!
Since the establishment of the Confederation, legislation has been based on incentives for production and population development, so the death penalty is generally not involved in federal law. There are only two exceptions, one against humanity and the other treason. The content of crimes against humanity is that if the act seriously violates the interests of mankind as a whole and causes significant damage to the overall development of mankind, the maximum penalty is the death penalty; The crime of treason is similar in that the maximum penalty is the death penalty if the act seriously infringes on the interests of the federation and causes significant damage to the development of the federation. However, the application of these two criminal laws has rarely been seen since their establishment, and the more common and serious crime is exile.
Hundreds of years ago, when the ancestors of human beings descended on the home planet, in order to resist the native beasts of the mother planet, ensure the safety of human settlements, and transform the dry and oxygen-deficient environment in the atmosphere to be more suitable for human survival, outstanding scientists researched and developed the bubble defense system "Sky Dome". After several generations of countless people for hundreds of years of development, the boundary of the "Heavenly Dome" is now extremely wide, and I don't know how many ancestors shed blood and sacrificed in the process of expanding the border during this period.
Compared with the past, although it is much safer to expand the border now, those exiles who have been deprived of their liberty are far away from their relatives and friends in their hometowns during the extension of the border, and work hard all day long, and at the worst, they are holding on to the sun every day, and they become ill from hard work, and some are even more serious, and it is not uncommon for them to die of illness during the period of exile and expansion.
When Yuqiu heard that there was a possibility of exile to Tuobian, his face was very ugly, he stood up and stared at Steward Duan's eyes, and said word by word: "My father just owes some accounts that have not been settled, in the final analysis, it is just an economic crime, why should he be exiled to Tuobian?" ”
"Don't be nervous about the little boss, there is a federal decree that clearly states: 'Those who violate the law without benefit to the public will be punished severely.'" I think you know what I mean. The amount of debt your father owes is not small, and the days are not short, and what I just said is only the worst-case scenario, so ...... Please also ask the little boss to come up with a way to do it. Steward Duan was not in a hurry or impatient, and stared back at Hugo's eyes and said word by word.
When Hugo heard this, he sat down and was silent, and Sister Hong was so anxious that tears came down from her eyes: "What can I do?" What's the solution? More than 600,000! We can't make up this number even after selling the restaurant! Saying that, she looked at Director Yang like a plea for help, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Director Yang, don't talk about Yuqiu, for the sake of Xiaoguozi, you can help say a few words......
The old man couldn't see a woman crying and begging for himself, Lao Yang turned around with a smile on his face, bowed his head and asked Lian Kecheng in an inquiring tone: "Staff Officer Lian, this number is indeed too big, it can't be made up in a while, is there any other way?" You see......"
"There's a way. It's just that the little boss has to work hard, ......" Lian Kecheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head and said to Hugo with a smile.
"Please." Hugo was stunned when he heard this, sat up straight and said.
