Hong Anque, who grew up in a merchant family, knew very well that although their Hong family and the other five families were known as the six major maritime merchant families, they could only be the king of Fujian. If they really wanted to gain scale and money, the richest places in the world would be Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Have you seen that two years ago, Yang Fengguang searched the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou and got 20 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to the fiscal revenue of several years of the Ming Dynasty. He shocked countless people.

At this moment, looking at the luxurious carriages parked at the door and dozens of strong men next to the carriage, Hong Anque began to feel a little uneasy. The Hong family is in the most difficult time now, and these Zhejiang merchants suddenly appeared at their doorstep. Something must have happened here. Hong Anque, who had no time to think about it, quickly accelerated and walked into the gate and walked towards the lobby. He knew that his father would definitely greet these guests in the lobby.

When Hong Anque came to the lobby, he saw his father talking with seven or eight men. Although these men were of different appearances and ages, they all had an indescribable arrogance in their clothes and expressions. Although they hid very well, Hong Anque could clearly realize that perhaps this was related to him being such a person.

"I've seen my father!" Hong Anque came to the lobby and first greeted Hong Futong.

Hong Futong nodded and pointed at the men around him and said, "An Que, come here, these uncles and uncles all come from Zhejiang. You can't be rude, hurry up and greet them. This is Uncle Bi Shi, this is Uncle Gong Shi, this Uncle Wang Shi, this..."

After hearing this, Hong Anque quickly bowed and walked around to salute everyone, "Hong Anque has seen all the uncles and uncles!"

"Forget it... Nephew Hong Xian asked him to get up quickly." Everyone who was doing it also gave Hong Anque a very proud face. They said with a smile, reaching out to help him.

After Hong Anque stood up, a slightly fat and kind-looking man smiled at Hong Fu's passage: "Brother Hong is really lucky. Ling Gongzi has a strange appearance and has achieved the reputation of a scholar at a young age. It seems that he must be very capable. With Ling Gongzi's assistance, it seems that it will not take long for Brother Hong to enjoy his youth at home."

Hong Anque smiled faintly: "Brother Bi has been awarded too much. The dog is still young and is reckless in doing things. It is still far from being alone."

The two of them praised each other and demoted each other. After a few words of politeness, the middle-aged man named Bi said with a smile: "Brother Hong, this time I came with the rest of you because of the thing we had agreed on a few days ago. It is as if the days were about to expire. I wonder what Brother Hong thinks?"

Hong Futong said quietly: "Brother Bi, why bother to worry? Isn't it still two days before the date we agreed on? Brother Bi is so anxious to come here, is it because he is afraid that the Hong family will lose money?"

As soon as he heard this, Hong Anque felt a little nervous. He finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart just now came from. A few days ago, in order to raise enough silver to buy goods, they borrowed more than 5 million taels of silver with the other five families at sea, of which one was borrowed by the Hong family alone. However, Hong Futong had always done this matter himself, so Hong Anque had never known it. Now he finally understood that they borrowed money from these Zhejiang merchants, and now these people are collecting debts.

Hong Anque felt a little sad while nervous. He thought that although their Hong family was in Xiamen and even Fujian, they could not cover up the sky with one hand, but they would not be able to see wherever they went on weekdays. Even the governor, governor and other senior officials were polite when they saw their father. Unexpectedly, they were actually collected by someone to come to their homes today. This was really a shame!

Is he young, or not cunning enough? Hong Anque's face changed immediately. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Hong Futong's eyes.

The man surnamed Bi said without comment: "Brother Hong is right. This matter is indeed because I am doing something wrong. I can apologize to Brother Hong, but please understand the helplessness of my younger brother and others. You should know that this is a huge sum of 5.6 million taels. The court has paid so much taxes a few years ago. If there is a slight mistake, I will not say that I will lose all my money and will also implicate the entire family. Do you think I should be careful?"

Although the man surnamed Bi has no disrespect in his words, everyone can understand the meaning inside and outside. I have borrowed more than 5 million taels of silver from you, no matter how cautious I am, it is not an exaggeration. What are you going to mess with?

"Yes, you are so cautious that you have run to my husband's house to cope with debts. It seems that I should thank you?" Hong Futong's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

Hong Futong couldn't help but get angry.

Yes... The six of their maritime merchants did borrow more than 5 million taels of silver from Zhejiang merchants, but the money was not for nothing. The six of their maritime merchants took out hundreds of shops, real estate and hundreds of maritime ships in Fujian. These things were accumulated over the past hundred years and were definitely worth the money. But now these people still think that the value of these things is not enough, which makes him angry.

The scheming Hong Futong may be able to bear it, but Hong Anque could no longer hold back. He didn't care about his own eyes warning and stepped forward and said angrily: "Dear uncles and uncles of Shishi, although they are not talented, they are familiar with the books of sages and know the principle of repaying money. Now there are still two days before repaying the money. All Shishishi, uncles and uncles are coming to force their debts. This is not a way to deal with people!"

"Shut up!" Hong Anque's words were finished, and Hong Futong shouted sternly, "This is for his father and several uncles and uncles. How is it your turn to interrupt?"

"Brother Hong!" The man surnamed Bi looked as if he was smiling and not smiling: "Don't scold the man. He was right. This is indeed something we did wrong. However, the man just said that he was familiar with the books of sages, and I believe this. However, those who have been familiar with the books of sages may not be gentlemen. Do you think?"

Hong Futong's face suddenly sank: "Brother Bi, what do you mean?"

The man named Bi picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly, and said quietly: "It's not interesting."

"Yeah!" Hong Futong was such a shrewd person. He immediately looked at Hong Anque.

Hong Anque, who was standing beside him, was stunned like a lightning strike. His first thought was that he was not good... Someone just learned about the private room in the elegant seat of the market.

But then he thought again, how could this be possible? After he accidentally killed Manager Qiu, he rushed back home from there. And they were all here all the time, so how could they know the news so quickly?

Thinking of this, Hong Anque gritted his teeth and snorted: "Uncle Bi Shi, don't you understand what you are talking about?"

"Do you really don't understand?"

Seeing that Hong Anque was still pretending to be stupid, the man named Bi laughed and simply picked up the matter.

"Nephew, you are so forgetful. Can you forget what good things you did in the private room of Shuiyun Pavilion just now?"

"ah……"

Hong Anque's face turned pale immediately. He never expected that in less than two quarters of an hour, the incident of his accidental killing of Manager Qiu reached their ears. Could it be that these people all had a look of clairvoyance?

Seeing Hong Anque with a pale face, a hint of contempt flashed in the eyes of the man named Bi and the men around him. This Hong Anque looked gentle and elegant on the surface, but when he encountered something, he panicked and acted abnormally without any calmness. If the Hong family was controlled by such a person in the future, it would not be far from decline.

If Hong Futong still didn't understand that something happened to his son, he would not deserve to be the head of the Hong family. His face immediately sank and shouted: "An Que, what happened?"

After being asked by my own brother, Hong Anque could no longer bear the pressure. He knelt down to his father with a "thump" and said sobbingly: "Father, the child has caused trouble. I just was in Shuiyun Pavilion..."

Hong Anque told all the things that he accidentally killed Manager Qiu in Shuiyun Pavilion, and finally said, "Father, the child accidentally killed Manager Qiu this time and hated more than ten other shopkeepers. They would not give up. They would report to the government. I believe that it will not take long for an official to come to capture the child. Although the child is not talented, he also understands the principle of one person doing things and one person being. Later, the child will surrender himself at the governor's office and will never implicate our Hong family."

Hong Futong sighed long and said, "Your Uncle Bi is right, you are just a fool!"

After saying that, Hong Futong ignored Hong Anque and said to the man named Bi with a complicated expression: "Brother Bi, don't worry. Our Hong family will definitely pay back the money owed to you. Even if we can't pay it back, we will hand over all the shops to you, so you don't have to worry. It's just that the matter of the dog is going to cost you Duoduo."

The man surnamed Bi smiled slightly: "Brother Hong, don't worry. As long as you are willing, our carriage will be able to take Hong Xianxian out of Xiamen in two quarters of an hour and walk to our Hangzhou Prefecture. When you know where, the government here will not be able to do anything to Hong Xianxian if you have great skills."

"Then please Brother Bi." Hong Futong sighed long. At this moment, he seemed to have been several years old. He glared at Hong Anque and cursed: "You beast, why don't you go back to the backyard to prepare and leave here immediately after two quarters of an hour. If I don't agree, I will never be allowed to go back to Xiamen. Do you understand?"
