"Master Hu, you've put me in a bit of a dilemma."
After Fan Jin reacted, he immediately refused without hesitation.
Are you kidding me, opening a porridge factory and setting up porridge shacks to help the victims of the disaster?
Not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with him at all. Even if he wants to do it, how much money, food and energy will he have to invest in it?
The Fan family does have money, but they are not willing to spend it on this! After all, this kind of thing is thankless!
The most important point is that they have paid for it, but in the end the reputation will only fall on Hu Yunqing. Whoever wants to be taken advantage of will do it. He is not happy anyway!
Moreover, their food is now mainly sent to Jiannu in Liaodong.
You can make money after all!
“Not to mention how high the price of food is in the market, we, as a family, don’t even have enough to eat, let alone provide relief to the victims.”
Fan Jin spoke again.
"Since the Wang family is unwilling, I won't make things difficult for you."
Hu Yunqing sighed helplessly, then his face turned cold, and he looked in the direction of Zhu Si, "Why are you still standing there? Summon the guards over there directly, and everyone present should not run away!"
"yes!"
Zhu Si didn't hesitate and headed straight for the city gate.
"Stop him!"
Fan Jin was not polite. As the saying goes, Ni Bodhisattva still has a bad temper. Are you really treating him like a soft persimmon?
"Get away!"
Who was Zhu Si? The commander of the Jinyi Guards easily broke through several people and headed towards the city gate.
"Take him away!"
When Fan Jin saw this, he expected that the matter would be difficult to handle, and then lowered his voice.
Upon seeing this, several guards immediately covered the Jiannu Manzi and prepared to leave. After all, this guy's status was too special.
"Just wait for me!"
Manzi was so angry that he bit his back teeth. Although he was unwilling to do so, it was still better to be cautious in other people's territory.
"No one can leave!"
Immediately, he saw the original officers and soldiers from Pidao and several other Jinyi guards following Zhu Si surrounding him.
"What do you want to do?"
The guard of the Fan family immediately shouted, "This is the capital, do you want to rebel?"
"Be honest with me!"
One of them opened the corner of his robe, revealing the flying fish suit underneath.
"how come……"
The guards of the Fan family naturally understood what this outfit meant, and their faces turned pale with fear.
If you are targeted by this group of people, you will lose your skin even if you don't die! No one expected to be so unlucky.
"Master Hu, do you really want to make things difficult for our Fan family?"
Fan Jin was also a little angry. If that person's identity was exposed, let alone the Fan family, the entire Shanxi merchants would be in trouble!
Hu Yunqing ignored him at all and quietly waited for Zhu Si to come back.
However, at the city gate at this time, the group of guards and officers guarding the city were also watching the excitement.
There was even a bet, who would win?
Naturally, there is a lot of money to bet.
"What are you doing here? You actually want to gamble!"
Zhu Si was so angry that he kicked one of them, and then took out Jin Yiwei's waistband from his waist, "Didn't you see it? Hu Yunqing, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the commander of Qingqiqi and Qingqiuqiu, were killed at this time. Intimidation, quickly mobilize your troops and follow me to rescue people!"
"Then, that guy is Hu Yunqing?"
The officer at the city gate was so frightened that he trembled when he spoke, and looked at Hu Yunqing in the crowd with disbelief.
Although he seemed to have a refined temperament and handsome appearance, he never expected to have such an identity.
"Why are you still standing there? Come with me to arrest someone."
He immediately rushed out first.
"Let's go!"
The other people also stood up quickly.
You must know that during this period, Hu Yunqing's name spread all over the country! It can be described as thunderous.
Why don't they know that this man is now in a prosperous state?
Even the Hong family couldn't afford to offend him, so what about Hong Shijie?
In the end, if he had not committed suicide in prison, the Hong family would not have dared to do anything, and they would have suffered the consequences of being mute!
If something really happened at the gate of this city, even if they had ten heads, they wouldn't be enough to lose it.
Fan Jin was like an ant on a hot pot now, looking at the slave-building officer who couldn't get out, and he was worried.
He was even thinking, did the man named Hu know something? He deliberately came to make things difficult for their Fan family.
But if he was asked to pay money, he would be a little reluctant. After all, opening a porridge factory cannot be solved with tens of thousands of taels of silver.
So he was ready to be tougher.
"Sir, Mr. Hu, although you are reasonable about this matter, if it really goes to the Yamen, the most you can do is lose some money."
He gritted his teeth helplessly and said, "And this is not a good thing for you. What you have offended is not our Fan family, but the entire Shanxi merchants! As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to end them. There is no need to do this, right? .”
"Shop Manager Fan, I think you have misunderstood. I have absolutely no intention of filing a lawsuit with you."
Hu Yunqing smiled slightly, and then said coldly, "I am now..."
Fan Jin couldn't help but feel relieved, but what he said next made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Go to Dongchang now and ask Sun Yunhe to come over and ask them to give me an explanation!"
Hu Yunqing said with cold eyes.
"No problem, I'll go now."
Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. He was afraid that Hu Yunqing wouldn't remember them. After all, Dongchang was the place he was most familiar with.
As long as we go there, can the Fan family still be dishonest?
"No, absolutely not!"
Fan Jing was panicking now, knowing that she had offended someone she shouldn't have.
He stopped Wei Zhongxian, then looked at Hu Yunqing, and said with a smile, "Master Hu, Master Hu, this is all a misunderstanding! But don't make the matter too serious, everything is negotiable!"
"Easy to discuss? I don't think so."
Hu Yunqing stretched, not wanting to continue arguing with this guy, "You can either hand over the money and food, or go to Dongchang!"
"This this……"
Fan Jin rubbed his hands with an ugly expression, "I can't make the decision on this big matter alone... I hope Mr. Hu will give me some time! I want to discuss it with others."
"Okay, I'll give you half an hour at most. If you can't give me any explanation, don't blame me for being rude then."
Hu Yunqing thought for a moment and then spoke.
"OK!"
Fan Jin gritted his teeth, knowing that if he didn't bleed today, the matter might not be solved, so he could only turn around and ride towards the city.
He went there mainly to seek help, but when the senior officials in Beijing heard that they had conflicts with Hu Yunqing, they all stayed on the sidelines.
After all, if you provoke Hu Yunqing at this time, what is the difference between that and hanging yourself directly? It’s not like I’m risking my life!
In desperation, Fan Jin came to the city gate alone again.
