"What are you shouting? My boss is sick!" Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but pulled the steward and scolded him in a low voice.
The manager shook off the shopkeeper's hand and jumped anxiously, "Shopkeeper Liu, why are you here? Hurry, I want to see my boss. Something bad has happened. The ship has sunk and the goods have been robbed! It's over, it's all over!"
Shopkeeper Liu I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that it seemed that my family had collaborated with others to transport a shipload of valuable things back from the south, including fine silks, spices, medicinal materials, etc.
Even though they live all over the world, two extremely rare condiments are also on the purchase list.
Could it be that this ship sank?
Manager Liu finally changed his expression!
Maybe he heard some noise in the house, and Wang Fu helped Wang Yuanwai and walked out.
Wang Yuanwai's face was pale and his lips were blue. Now his eyes were red with anxiety and he asked: "Wang Gui, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"
The steward named Wang Gui fell to his knees and choked with sobs: "Boss, we shipped the goods back from the south. We were still two hundred miles away from home, but a group of water bandits ran out of nowhere. They boarded the ship in the middle of the night and captured us all.
"The goods were robbed and the ship was also It was chipped, but fortunately the bandits didn't hurt us... Later, we were rescued by a passing boatman, and we went to a nearby county to report to the police, but the official said that the bandits were veterans and had no chance of finding the goods. !
"You, you...does God want to destroy me, Wang Xinqiu? " "
Wang Yuanwai was so angry that he spurted out another mouthful of blood and fell down directly.
Shopkeeper Liu and Wang Gui rushed forward together, both of them were frightened.
The wife of the family was not there, and there was no one in charge, so Wang Fu just He called a boy to ask for the doctor.
Shopkeeper Liu and Wang Gui were in the room watching his boss change clothes, so they left.
Shopkeeper Liu pulled Wang Gui and asked: "If I remember correctly, that boat The goods are not just for our family, right? Wang Gui
nodded vigorously and almost shed tears.
"Our family only has 5,000 taels of goods, and the remaining 15,000 taels belong to others." Originally it was our turn to go south, but this time it was our family's turn to purchase and escort. We also signed a deed before. If the goods are damaged, our family will pay 20% off as compensation. "
Shopkeeper Liu was speechless for a long time, and was trembling in his heart.
This time, not only did the Wang family lose five thousand taels, but they also had to pay out twelve thousand taels of silver!
What kind of bad luck did the Wang family have, today? No, Sihaiju has ruined its reputation and will definitely not be able to continue operating in the future. With
such a loss of money now, nearly 20,000 taels have been lost in one fell swoop.
What's more serious is that the owner is so ill that he is on the verge of death.
Is it possible that the Wang family is on the verge of death? Are they about to be defeated?
What are they going to do as slaves?
At this moment, the boy has invited the doctor back, and Wang Fu quickly takes the people in.
Before Wang Gui could do anything, shopkeeper Liu frowned.
The doctor's surname was Sun, he recognizes it, and his medical skills are among the best in the city.
But this man has a problem, he has an upright temper, a big mouth, and can't keep secrets.
Who wants to have any illness and be exposed to outsiders the next day? I know.
Therefore, few people in the city are willing to seek medical treatment from him on weekdays, unless there is really no way to deal with the serious condition, like Wang Yuanwai...
After a long while, Doctor Sun came out and asked: "Look for a quiet place. I want to write a prescription and ask the medicine boy to go back and get the medicine quickly. "
Shopkeeper Liu and Wang Gui quickly led him into the next room. After serving him with pen and ink, the little medicine boy took the prescription and ran away.
Shopkeeper Liu couldn't understand the prescription, so he asked in a low voice: "Doctor Sun, what's going on with our boss? Yes, maybe you will get better soon? There is some trouble in the business at home, waiting for the boss to deal with it.
Doctor Sun glared and said angrily: "People are going to die, and you are thinking about treatment! " How is it possible to ask the patient to jump around and get well? I am a doctor, not Daluo Jinxian! Besides, what were you doing in those early years? Even if this disease had been diagnosed and treated five or six years in advance, it wouldn't have been fatal until now! "
Wang Gui opened his mouth to refute, but was stopped by shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu arranged tea and snacks for Dr. Sun, and then took Wang Gui out.
"Brother, you stay here, I have to go back to the restaurant to deal with it. Someone in Sihaiju had diarrhea and died of diarrhea. There was a big fuss earlier. If the boss is like this, he can't worry about it anymore. I have to go and ask him."
" Ah, there is also this matter..."
Wang Gui suddenly felt that something was wrong and he didn't want to stay.
But at this time, Wang Fu came out with a small box and said: "Excellent manager, could you please take care of the boss, who needs to make some medicine and drink it. The boss has given some errands, and I have to deal with them immediately."
Shopkeeper Liu took the opportunity. He followed Wang Fu and left. Wang Gui had no choice but to stay.
Shopkeeper Liu sent Wang Fu off and looked back at the Wang family's courtyard gate with a complicated expression.
The Wang family is rich and has hired countless doctors over the years, but just now Dr. Sun said that his boss's headache was delayed until now and he is dying...
The things involved are too complicated, and he doesn't want to care about it, nor does he dare to care about it.
Now, in such a chaotic situation, the most important thing is to escape unscathed!
He took a deep breath, turned around and walked away...
When he came back, the sun had already set to the west, and there were many people watching the excitement gathered in front of the Wang family courtyard. They gathered together to talk from time to time, which made shopkeeper Liu panic.
He hurried forward and asked: "What happened?"
A nearby neighbor recognized Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Go in and have a look. I heard that Wang Yuanwai is seriously ill and someone is coming to collect debts!"
Shopkeeper Liu was black As expected, as soon as he entered the outer courtyard, he saw a chair placed under the eaves of the corridor, and Wang Yuanwai sat slumped on it, his face pale and weak.
Opposite him stood two groups of people. One group was a businessman who had good relations with the Wang family on weekdays, and the other group was the shopkeepers of several of his own shops.
Several shopkeepers secretly waved to him to come over.
At this time, the few merchants who had made good friends spoke, "Brother Wang, it's not that we are adding insult to injury. It's true that every family is not well off."
"Yes, brother Wang, we agreed at the beginning who would ship the goods and who would The family is responsible. We had no problems those few times, but your family encountered water bandits this time."
"Our family bought five thousand taels of goods this time. According to the contract, Brother Wang will return four thousand taels to me. Two, then I still lost a thousand taels. I am sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky, who can I ask to explain it?"
"Me too, the store is waiting for this new batch of goods, send them immediately. It was too late for people to find the goods. Not only did they lose money, but they also missed the peak season of winter."
Everyone was complaining, and everyone felt as if the sky was falling.
Wang Yuan waved his hand to signal everyone to shut up, and then looked at Wang Fu.
With trembling hands, Wang Fu took a box and stepped forward.
Wang Yuanwai opened it and took out a stack of banknotes. The eyes of all the creditors immediately lit up.
Sure enough, according to the deed, everyone quickly got the compensation money they deserved.
Although there is some loss, it is better than nothing.
They encountered water bandits unexpectedly, and Wang Yuanwai was seriously ill. Even if they really refused to admit or compensate, they had nothing to do.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Wang would be so happy, which actually made everyone blush.
After all, we had gotten along well for many years before, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to go south together to buy together.
