Huo Duan looked at Zhou Feng, meaning you haven't explained quickly yet.
Zhou Feng turned to look at Butler Zhou.
So the bruised and swollen housekeeper Zhou told the Xie family that they would not repay their debts, and that he would use Xie's house to offset the debt in accordance with the loan documents.
Huo Duan walked towards Butler Zhou and said calmly: "In that case, you are reasonable."
When Butler Zhou saw Uncle Huo standing on his side, he straightened his chest and said proudly, "Of course."
Leng Buding Huo Duan slapped Butler Zhou hard on the face, making Butler Zhou's body look like a crooked jujube tree.
Huo Duan would be angry and have nowhere to vent his anger, so he would just vent it on Butler Zhou, damn it! What you did was not cruel at all, and you still had the nerve to say in front of me, why don't you give Xie Guangde a good beating!
Huo Duan's sudden slap shocked everyone, and for a moment, needles could be heard in the vast courtyard.
Zhou Feng was not sure what Huo Duan meant, and Xie Guangde even suspected that Huo Duan, the smiling tiger, was going to do something bad. To be honest, he was even more wary of Huo Duan. After all, he was familiar with the cruel things that this man-eating tiger had done.
Butler Zhou's ears were buzzing from being slapped, and he heard Huo Duan sternly asking: "Let me ask you, do you know where this place is?"
Butler Zhou was a little confused and had to answer Huo Duan's question, so he responded: "Thank you, Mansion."
Huo Duan sneered: "You still know that this is Xie's Mansion, so how dare you act so arrogantly here."
Huo Duan said and raised his hands in greeting: "The Xie family in Kuaiji has been a famous family for hundreds of years. Yao Qinggong is also regarded as a famous person in Yangzhou. He is second to none in the world and is famous all over the world. Huo I admire very much." Sage, if you trample on the Xie family, you are trampling on my face, Mr. Huo, and you are trampling on the face and dignity of the entire Yangzhou..."
Huo Duan's words made Xie Guangde excited and ashamed. Yes, the Xie family was so respected when Duke Yao Qing was alive, but now a slave dares to be so arrogant and domineering in the Xie family.
As he spoke, Huo Duan thrust his foot towards Butler Zhou and said coldly: "You slave, do you think you should die or not?"
Uncle Huo wanted him to die, but he would never survive. Butler Zhou turned pale with fright and begged, "Uncle Huo, please spare your life. I'm just a slave. I'm not so bold. I just obey orders."
Seeing Huo Duan's cold face and no response, Housekeeper Zhou hugged Zhou Feng's thigh: "Second Master, please help me, me too..."
Zhou Feng was afraid that Butler Zhou would be frightened and say anything, so he kicked him away: "Get out of the way!"
Even the second master didn't want to care about him anymore. It was obvious that he had encountered a hard problem and wanted to treat him as a scapegoat. Butler Zhou suddenly despaired.
At this time, Huo Duan said coldly: "Why don't you kowtow to Mr. Xie and admit your mistake?"
After hearing this, Butler Zhou saw a glimmer of life, crawled to Xie Guangde, kowtowed and said, "Mr.
Things changed a bit quickly. Xie Guangde was stunned and couldn't react. He was so surprised that he looked at Butler Zhou who was arrogant and domineering just now, but now he kowtowed to him and begged for mercy.
But he didn't know what kind of medicine Huo Duan bought in his gourd, so he looked at Huo Duan warily.
Huo Duan smiled warmly, are you feeling better? Do you still have enough face?
In Xie Guangde's eyes, such a face looked like a tiger's face ready to open its mouth. He thought to himself, no matter what bad tricks Huo Duan wanted to do, he just had to do the opposite.
Seeing that Xie Guangde was unmoved, Housekeeper Zhou slapped himself hard in the face and begged for mercy: "Old Master, if you don't open your mouth, the villain will die!"
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
To be honest, no matter how angry Xie Guangde was, it disappeared now and he said coldly: "Okay."
Before Huo Duan could speak, Butler Zhou kowtowed three times: "Thank you, old man."
I also told Huo Duan to listen to this. The old man is making excuses. Uncle Huo, you can't do anything poisonous.
The Xie family saved face, but Zhou Feng's face looked a little ugly. After all, Butler Zhou was the housekeeper of his Zhou family. Kowtowing to the Xie family to admit their mistakes was equivalent to the Zhou family's kowtow to the Xie family to admit their mistakes.
Huo Duan, you have gone too far to deceive others. Don’t we, the Zhou family, lose face? Can it be trampled on at will?
His Zhou family is not as important as Huo Duan, so naturally he can't do anything to Huo Duan, but he must regain his face.
At this time, Huo Duan said loudly: "I, Mr. Huo, have spoken out. Whoever dares to trample on the Xie family in the future will be trampling on me, Huo Duan. I, Huo Duan, will not be able to spare him!"
Gu Quan couldn't see the situation clearly. Logically speaking, Huo Duan didn't have to please a down-and-out family member like this. Even if the Xie family was in the same position as Gu family at the moment, there was no need to do so with Huo Duan's weight. But everything this person did was... There is a reason...
Seeing that Huo Duan, a big tiger, was so protective of the Xie family, Xie Li was very confused and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, what is this?"
Xie Guangde whispered: "This person is extremely cunning. You must not be fooled by him or trust him easily."
Zhou Feng said loudly: "Okay, this slave is rude, but I will take this opportunity to ask for a debt from Mr. Xie."
As Zhou Feng spoke, he took out the mortgage documents, walked up to Xie Guangde, and said respectfully: "Thank you, old man, please pay back the debt."
I thought to myself, don’t you have face? Aren’t you a noble person who has been watching the family for hundreds of years? Then pay it back.
I see you can’t even pay back the money, so what nonsense do you have to do to save face?
The more respectful Zhou Feng was in front of everyone, the more Xie Guangde couldn't get off the stage at this moment, with a troubled look on his face. He didn't know how to deal with it. He couldn't say that he had no money, so the face Huo Duan gave him just now was in vain.
Huo Duan was secretly happy when he saw this, "Zhou Feng, I really want to give you the first credit. That's it. I will punish Xie Guangde to death and make Xie Guangde as embarrassed as possible. Only then can I, Huo Duan, show my value."
He approached Xie Guangde and asked softly: "Mr. Xie, what's the problem?"
Xie Guangde always felt that Huo Duan was so intimate that it almost stuck to him. He wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Huo Duan accepted it and said to Zhou Feng, "General Zhou, can you let me take a look at the mortgage documents?"
Real gold is not afraid of fire. In addition to Xie Guangde's signature, there are also several notaries' signatures on it. There is nothing that cannot be seen by others, so he handed the mortgage document to Huo Duan.
In fact, Huo Duan already knew the contents of this mortgage document clearly, but he pretended to read it carefully. After reading it, he sighed deeply: "Alas..."
When everyone saw Huo Duan sighing, they were very curious. It's not that you owe money, so why are you sighing?
Huo Duan returned it to Zhou Feng. Zhou Feng asked, "Master Huo, based on your knowledge, is this loan document false?"
"It's true!"
After Huo Duan responded, he turned around and raised his hands to Xie Guangde: "Mr. Xie, I admire you! I admire you!"
Not to mention other people, even Xie Guangde was confused and didn't understand why Huo Duan admired him.
"The Xie family has indeed inherited the legacy of Duke Yao Qing and is a breath of fresh air in Yangzhou City."
Then he told a widely circulated allusion by Xie Yaoqing: "Hundreds of years ago, there was a wealthy businessman who asked Duke Yao to paint a painting and promised to give him a mansion as reward. Later, Duke Yao learned that this businessman was He asked for paintings on behalf of nobles from the enemy country, but he flatly refused - Xie Yiwu's calligraphy treasures would never flow into the enemy country. The businessman also offered a thousand taels of gold as a temptation. Yao Qinggong smiled contemptuously: Unjust wealth and honor are like floating clouds to me. Riches are like floating clouds to me. But if you can ask for it, even if you are a man with a whip, I will do it. If you can't ask for it, just do what I like."
Xie Guangde sighed in his heart, he was naturally familiar with the deeds of the sages and he was deeply proud of them as a descendant.
After Huo Duan finished telling this allusion, he continued: "As a famous family member, the Xie family in Kuaiji, what if he wanted to solve the problem of financial shortage? But he did not follow the turbulent currents, and remained aloof and alone."
It must be said that Huo Duan is a successful speaker, his words are emotional and quite sobering. Even Gu Quan couldn't help but think about it and silently recited the family's warning.
Huo Duan said to Xie Guangde with sadness: "Mr. Now I see Mr. Xie frowning at these stinky things and feeling worried.
Someone is deeply sad inside. "
Huo Duan's mouth was so eloquent that he could talk about having no money so nicely.
Xie Guangde thought to himself, "What's wrong, I have a crush on him. I know he has evil intentions, but I still do it. This Huo Duan is really scary."
Huo Duan paused: "I can't bear it! Thank you, old man. Huo has a merciless request here!"
Xie Guangde actually raised his hand and said softly: "Master Huo, please speak."
Xie Li on the side saw this and thought to himself, didn't Grandpa say that he should be wary of this person? Why does he seem to have won people's hearts?
Huo Duan smiled and said, "Huo has nothing else. He is covered in dung and smells rotten. If you don't mind it, let Huo spend some dung to reduce the putrid odor on his body and take advantage of Xie's clean water to wash himself."
Although this was said euphemistically, everyone understood that Huo Duan wanted to pay back the money for the Xie family.
Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment, this was a large sum of money.
Gu Quan was also stunned for a moment. Is this greedy guy who can eat without spitting out so generous?
Xie Guangde was even more stunned. It was a big pie in the sky. There was such a great thing.
Huo Duan thought, hey, you don't need capital to do business. This debt owed by Xie's family is your capital. He won't get a big share of Xie Fu's grain business, and he won't be able to get it back even tenfold.
Moreover, there is a Jieduzhao behind him, so doing business in the Jiangnan base camp is not smooth sailing.
Before everyone could react, Huo Duan raised his hands to Xie Guangde and begged, "Please don't refuse, Mr. Xie, and give Huo a chance to cleanse himself of the rot, otherwise he will be ashamed of himself!"
Huo Duan's words were so sincere and humble that Xie Guangde blurted out: "Master Huo, how can this be done!"
When Xie Li saw this, he thought to himself that his grandfather had fallen into Huo Duan's trap and followed Huo Duan's ideas. He blurted out: "No! My Xie family will never benefit from others in vain."
