Chapter 9: Bad News
"Long Yuan, I went to the Golden Mansion this morning, and I heard many diners talking about the robbery of my He family's caravan and all the goods were robbed, and it wasn't just who spread such rumors behind my back?"
He Xiuzhu walked into the house with an angry face, didn't care about shaking off the floating snow on his shoulders, threw the robe on his body on the desk, and gritted his teeth.
Long Yuan put down the brush in his hand unhurriedly, raised his head calmly and looked at He Xiuzhu and said, "Rumors? That's not a rumor, what they say is the truth." ”
"Facts!" He Xiuzhu's ass bounced up again before it could occupy the chair, as if there were nails on the chair, "Long Yuan, don't joke with me, that's worth a full 20,000 taels!"
He Xiuzhu, who couldn't accept this fact, grabbed Long Yuan's shoulder and shook it desperately, hoping to hear from Long Yuan's mouth that this was all listening to him, but unfortunately this time it was destined to disappoint him.
Long Yuan broke free from He Xiuzhu's clamped hands, straightened the sleeves that were crumpled by He Xiuzhu, and then said lightly: "Master He, please calm down." ”
"Calm down, you teach me how to be calm!"
He Xiuzhu's face flushed and said excitedly.
"Master He, take a long-term view, things often have two sides, as the so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, maybe the He family can really become the leader of the merchants in Beisha City with the help of this matter. ”
He Xiuzhu must have been very comfortable with Long Yuan, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, the residual fragrance between his lips and teeth made Long Yuan squint his eyes unconsciously, and an intoxicated look appeared on his face.
"Hehe, return the dragon, I don't think the He family is even a head snake. He Xiuzhu sat on the chair as if all his strength had been drained, burying his head under his arms, as if he was desperate.
In fact, it is not uncommon for goods to be robbed in the runners, if the value of the goods is not high, or the owner of the goods has no power, the runners generally lose a little money to resolve the matter, and there is no impact on their own goodwill.
But this time it is different, not to mention the high value of the goods, the nominal owner of the goods can cover the sky in Beisha City, and there have been few such incidents in the history of running merchants in Beisha City, and the ending of those running merchant families has been annihilated in the long river of history.
"Steward Dragon. ”
Lao Zhang walked in from outside the house with a gloomy face, the entire Beisha City was spreading the news about the He family's caravan, and outsiders may still be in a wait-and-see state, but Lao Zhang knew that things were already developing in the direction that Long Yuan thought.
"You go to the Feng family as the person who speaks in the He family's caravan, go to Du Baoshan, and tell him that my He family is willing to compensate the Feng family for the loss at twice the price of the shipment, and then act according to the plan. Long Yuan gave himself another pot of tea, and said to Lao Zhang slowly.
"That's 40,000 taels, where does my He family have so much money now?"
Hearing what Long Yuan said to Lao Zhang, He Xiuzhu couldn't sit still, and said with round eyes.
Lao Zhang nodded silently and turned out, leaving only Long Yuan and He Xiuzhu, and the room was calm again, only the sound of He Xiuzhu's heavy breathing and Long Yuan's tea tasting echoed in the room.
......
"You said that the He family sent people to the Feng family in a hurry?"
"I really saw it, it was the old man Zhang who ran the merchant guard, looking at his face so ugly, I guess eighty percent of the caravan of the He family had an accident. ”
"Hey, I thought that the He family would rise this time, but I didn't expect it to decline so soon. ”
There are many people who see it, but there are more people who talk about it, and the spies sent by the major family forces have all reported the news to the forces behind them.
Listening to the report of his subordinates, Master Wei, who was sweating all over the morning exercise, paused with his hand to wipe his face with a towel, shook his head with some pity and said: "The He family is a little anxious this time, and I don't know if they can survive this disaster this time." ”
Originally, when he was at the banquet in the Golden Building, he was very optimistic about the He family, and he also had the idea of befriending the He family, but now in addition to this matter, this has to make him reconsider his plan to cooperate with the He family for a long time.
"Forget it, make less money, make less money! Send the goods I prepared before to the Li family, Li Fu, the old immortal is about to enter the coffin, and the price is so high, but although the Li family asks for a high price, it can at least reassure people. After struggling for a moment, Master Wei had to command his subordinates in pain.
"Yes. ”
The waiting subordinate answered, and walked quickly to the door.
Not only the Wei family, but many families in Beisha City began to change their plans after receiving the news from the eyeliner all over the city, obviously this time they were not very optimistic about the He family, after all, the current He family was still a small sail in the ocean in their eyes, and it could not withstand any fierce waves.
But not long after the time passed, there was an even more shocking news that reached the ears of all forces, and the entire Beisha City was shaken for a while.
"The time should be almost up, and the torrent of fate is unstoppable. ”
Long Yuan, who was sitting deep in the He family and accompanied He Xiuzhu, looked at the incense that was about to burn out, and said in his heart.
He Xiuzhu drooped his head, glanced at Long Yuan who was the old god in his heart, and was a little angry in his heart, snatched the teacup in Long Yuan's hand and poured himself a mouthful.
"Tyrannical creatures. ”
Long Yuan stood up as he spoke, and refilled He Xiuzhu's teacup.
"Master He, Steward Long. ”
Lao Zhang, who had returned from going out, came to the door of the house and whispered, and there were more than a dozen people standing behind him, men and women, old and young, and there was sadness on the faces of these people.
"Have you found all the people?"
Regardless of He Xiuzhu's blank face, Long Yuan stood up and asked Lao Zhang to himself.
"Well, everyone's here. ”
Lao Zhang stepped aside and let out all the people standing behind him.
"My name is Long Yuan, and I am the housekeeper of He Mansion. I deeply regret this accident and ask for your condolences. ”
After speaking, Long Yuan bowed deeply to everyone.
Click, click......
The strange sound of water droplets sounded, and everyone noticed that there were a few clear watermarks in front of Long Yuan's toes, and they looked up in the direction of the water drops only to find that Long Yuan had burst into tears at some point.
An old man in the crowd staggered to Long Yuan on crutches, helped him up and helped him wipe away the tears on his face, and then said with grief and choking: "Child, this is not your fault, it's fate, it's their life!"
