Chapter 270 The Feeling of Being a Creditor

Zhu Hao's educational career is about to take off.

The women's school is in the final stages of preparation.

The main person in charge is Mrs. Gongsun. She has finished her confinement at the end of the first lunar month and is checking all the preparations, and the person who assists her is Gongyeling.

at the same time.

Zhu Hao's progress in buying the boat was accelerated. After the shopkeeper Ma went to meet Ouyang Nu, the other party said that he would consider it.

Inside the inn.

"Miss, there is indeed something wrong with Mu Renqing... Last night he sneaked away, took away all the money, and left a letter in the room, saying that Cheng Guogong's mansion will come forward to help Ouyang's family tide over the difficulties, but the premise is that the young lady must marry In the past, I used to be a partial house...it has been reported to the government, but the prefectural and county government officials said that this matter is out of their control..."

The woman beside Ouyang girl looked sad.

I thought that the trip to Anlu was to solve the difficulties faced by the family, but I didn't know that I fell into a trap carefully set by others, and the trap got deeper and deeper, and now I am on the verge of extinction.

Ouyang Nu asked eagerly: "Since the incident happened locally, why did the Anlu Prefecture and Changshou County government officials stand by and watch?"

The mother-in-law sighed: "Mu Renqing is not a local, so he has disappeared this time. It would take a lot of manpower and material resources to find someone... After the local magistrate resigned, the new county magistrate has not come to perform his duties, and the magistrate will not be here for a while. Will resign, who will care about the interests of foreign merchants like us at this time?"

The reasoning is simple but easy to understand.

Originally, the local government didn't want to take care of the affairs of outsiders, especially this kind of debt dispute between outsiders... The shopkeeper of your family ran away with money, and asked the local government to arrest people for you?Have you considered the cost of our government handling the case?

Besides, the two levels of local yamen are now at a critical moment when the old and the new are changing, and any lawsuits will be postponed. Aren't you merchants from Nanjing?Go back to Nanzhili to sue!
"How much silver do we have left now? How much is the foreign debt...?"

Ouyang Nu is facing the dilemma of family bankruptcy, and her pretty face is full of despair.

The mother-in-law said: "Fortunately, the business of the mirror was not completed before, and the Zhu family's advance payment of one hundred and sixty taels of silver has only been refunded to eighty taels. Among the more than three hundred taels of silver, some of them were borrowed from outside, and we also borrowed seventy taels from the horse shopkeeper..."

"what?"

Ouyang Nu didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

On the surface, Su Xigui introduced her to Anlu to do business, but on the first day she arrived, she broke up with the biggest collapsed house in the area. Afterwards, she had no intention of cooperating with Su Xigui's people to do business. When did she owe Su Xigui's men to stop? The shopkeeper seventy taels of silver?
The mother-in-law's face was gloomy: "This debt is on loan...Before I didn't have enough money to buy a mirror, Mu Renqing took the lead to borrow money...It was only after confirming with the creditor that I found out that the owner of the loan was Ma Treasurer."

Ouyang Nu understands.

The loan was borrowed from Ma Zi, the shopkeeper of the horse, but the real creditor behind it was the shopkeeper Ma.

"Their money will be returned first!"

Ouyang Nu made a decision immediately.

The mother-in-law looked helpless: "The interest on this debt is the lowest, and the debt repayment period can be delayed to two months. Now the debt we borrowed in Nanjing may have reached the point where it can't be closed... The house in Nanjing and the few things I didn't bring All the boats have been seized by the creditors, the money cannot be returned, the holes cannot be plugged, and all of them will be confiscated...it's better to go back to Nanjing...just go away!"

The mother-in-law means that the local debts can no longer be taken care of, and the biggest debt crisis of the Ouyang family happened in Nanjing.

Ouyang Nu sighed: "Even if we return to Nanjing, can we pay off the debt?"

Both master and servant fell silent.

Just at this time, a servant's announcement came from outside: "The head of the house, shopkeeper Ma is here to see you."

Ouyang girl got up immediately and was about to go out to meet her. The mother-in-law hurriedly reminded her: "Miss, if you want to avoid living in the mountains, you might as well cross the Han River to the west from here, go to Jingmen, Dangyang, and Yidu, and then take a boat to Shudi. It’s better not to meet the shopkeeper, this person is very treacherous... The Su boss behind him is even more unkind. Besides, we still have debts in his hands..."

According to the mother-in-law, it must be no good for the creditor to come to visit, there is no time to hide, and you are so proactive in welcoming him?
Ouyang Nu shook her head and said, "It's definitely not a good strategy to avoid seeing them, and besides, the few boats in hand... have to find someone to sell them to!"

If you are about to flee, you must pack lightly, and you can still take the boat with you?Is it not easy for the creditors and the government to track down?
Of course, it is necessary to find someone to sell the boats in hand first, and transfer the trouble to others.

……

……

The first floor of the inn.

Ouyang Nu saw the shopkeeper Ma and at the same time saw the "child" she had seen at the ferry.

"Horse shopkeeper, this is..."

Ouyang Nu was surprised to find that Ma Yan was standing behind the child this time.

Shopkeeper Ma said: "Let me solemnly introduce, this is our little boss, who is in charge of the local business."

Ouyang Nu frowned when she heard this.

What tricks are you playing again?
The mother-in-law was dissatisfied and said: "Master Ma came to do business, why do you have to do some superficial things to deceive people? Tell me something."

Zhu Hao was not angry when he was treated like air, he spread his hands out, "I'm here to discuss business, what's your attitude... Old Ma, didn't you agree that they agreed to sell the boat?"

"My little boss, I'm sorry, maybe, I didn't make it too clear earlier." Shopkeeper Ma quickly admitted his mistake.

"Shall we go upstairs to talk? Or just break up and stop doing business?"

Zhu Hao looked at Ouyang Nu impatiently.

Don't think that we don't know your situation. You are now cornered and showing signs of running away, so we came to block you. Even if you want to run away, you have to pay back the seventy taels of silver with interest, otherwise you think I have money. Is it the wind?

The mother-in-law refused firmly: "We don't sell boats."

Zhu Hao sneered, and ordered: "It's fine, old horse, find someone to go to the government to inform, spend some money to arrange it, call all the yamen servants in the prefectural and county yamen, and urge them to return our money with interest. It's..."

The mother-in-law said with a dark face, "The debt is not yet due."

"I think there is a problem with your integrity, and there may be a risk of running away, so first set the rules and detain your guides and customs clearance documents... This should be in line with the rules. In addition, you, old horse, find someone Keep an eye out for accidents."

Zhu Hao issued the order skillfully.

Debt not due?
It doesn't matter, first use the local government to confiscate your road guides, and then find someone to monitor and see where you are going.

The mother-in-law wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ouyang Nu: "Young master, let's talk upstairs."

Zhu Hao grinned, showing two rows of white and neat teeth: "That's right, old horse, come up with me and talk about it."

……

……

The room upstairs.

This can be regarded as the boudoir of the daughter's house.

After Zhu Hao came in, he sat down in a grandiose manner, and the horse shopkeeper could only stand behind him.

"Speaking bluntly, I will buy four of your boats for three hundred taels of silver, that is, the four boats docked by the riverside. The ones that carry people are not needed, but the ones that carry goods... After deducting the seventy taels of silver you owe us, I will give you a total of two hundred and thirty taels of silver. Twelve, the interest will not be calculated with you, if you agree, bring the boat deed, and go with us to the local government to get a registration.

"Let's put aside the ugly words first. We are only responsible for buying ships. You are responsible for the follow-up disputes on these ships. We don't care. After we clean up these ships, they will be used to transport goods and have nothing to do with your Ouyang family anymore."

Ouyang Nu's face was bleak, and her voice trembled slightly: "Three hundred and twenty-four ships, I'm afraid it's not suitable... No matter how cheap it is, it won't be so cheap..."

Zhu Hao smiled, but did not speak.

The shopkeeper Ma said: "Master Ouyang, what you say is not pleasant. You can run far away with the money. At this time, someone is willing to take your boat. You should be lucky. Besides, the price... is better than the market price. It's [-]% to [-]% lower, but the convenience it brings you is unimaginable."

Ouyang Nu bit her lower lip tightly.

From Shopkeeper Ma's words, she understood that her situation was already under the control of others.

Eat her.

"One more thing. If someone hadn't mentioned the matter about the mirror before, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have the coffin left. As for who reminded you in secret... don't I need to say it?"

Shopkeeper Ma told another news that shocked Ouyang Nu.

"It was you..."

Zhu Hao hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, when will we get through with you? There are some things that you need to know!"

Zhu Hao would not admit that he did this by himself. If the Zhu family knew about it, wouldn't it mean that he joined forces with the horse shopkeeper to deliberately deceive the Zhu family?
"Also, if you don't do business in the future, you can transfer the channels you control to us... How about this, give an extra thirty taels of silver, and take your shopkeepers, buddies, and those who can work together. Call, these thirty taels should be my severance pay for you."

Zhu Hao made another proposal that surprised Shopkeeper Ma.

Zhu Hao actually wanted to get the connections and business channels of Ouyang's family?
Does this mean that Zhu Hao is not willing to only do business in Anlu?From when Zhu Hao opened a mansion shop in Jingshan County, shopkeeper Ma could feel the ambition of the little boss.

"Little master, what are you going to do?" Ouyang Nu felt uncomfortable feeling that her family was about to go bankrupt, and the only resources left were being missed by wolves.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Perhaps you have other choices... If you think my request is presumptuous, you don't have to do this business... Besides, the Ouyang family returned our seventy taels of silver with interest. From now on, I will not interfere with business matters.”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Miss, return the seventy taels of silver to them, they are by no means good enemies!"

These words were said loudly on purpose so that Zhu Hao and Ma Yan could hear them.

Ouyang Nu suddenly became obsessed, and looked at Zhu Hao sharply: "The mirrors of the Zhu family, you sold them, right? Where did you get the mirrors? Could it be you, the mysterious local merchant who can produce mirrors? No wonder Su Such a shrewd person at the head of the family will hand over the local business to you..."

This said...

Even shopkeeper Ma was a little surprised, this little lady suddenly became enlightened?

It's just that you are a bit late to open up your mind. If you had talked about business in a good manner when you first met, how could you have come to the point where you are now at the end of your rope?
"Old horse, what do you say?"

Zhu Hao tilted his head and smiled and asked Ma Yan.

Shopkeeper Ma said: "I think it's better for the little boss not to do business with them, and to ask for the seventy taels of silver back is nothing to worry about."

　In the last few hours of May, ask for a wave of monthly ticket support!
