It was a great irony that Qin Miao had to walk back to Huaichang City on his own two feet after riding a horse for a whole day the first day.
One day ago, he was the largest wealthy businessman in Huaichang City and the head of the Qin family, but a day later he was so depressed that he had to walk home on his own feet, if that home could still be considered his home.
When Qin Miao walked outside Huaichang City, it was already the morning of the second day. Although Qin Miao also possessed martial arts skills, his years of pampering and the lack of water and rice this day and night had already made him I was so weak that my feet were almost worn out from walking all the way down.
When he saw the gate of Huaichang City, he couldn't help but sit down on the ground and burst into tears.
What's the use of walking all the way back? I no longer have my own home here, and my home is no longer my own.
People passing by in and out of the city saw him like this, and they all thought there was something wrong with this man's brain.
Some of them recognized him as Mr. Qin of the Qin family, but no one dared to come forward to talk to him. They just whispered and discussed in low voices how the richest man in Huaichang City could inexplicably sit outside the city and act so rude. burst into tears?
Just because the Qin family always colluded with the officials and acted tyrannically in Huaichang City, no one dared to talk to him and ask him what he was crying about.
Qin Miao sat alone outside the city and cried for a long time. Finally, she was tired of crying and had almost vented her emotions. She stood up, patted her butt and walked forward. After all, she had to go to the city and go home.
It's just that he doesn't know how to explain it to his father when he returns home.
Originally Qin Yuezong thought he only invested 10,000 taels of silver, but he smartly pledged the Qin family's property and borrowed another 10,000 taels. Now that things have reached this stage, how should he tell his father what he did? of these things?
If Qin Yuezong knew what he had done, would he probably skin him? Even though he was in his fifties, he couldn't help but tremble all over when he thought of his father losing his temper.
But now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in worrying, so I should go back and tell my father about the matter to see if there is any way to remedy it.
At this time, Qin Miao was like a child who had made a mistake. He was walking in the direction of the Qin Mansion, beating a drum in his heart. He really didn't know how to face Qin Yuezong.
When he arrived at his home, Qin Miao began to feel worried again. He was really unwilling to go in and tell Qin Yuezong the news.
So he walked back and forth in front of the door. For the first time, he experienced the feeling of wandering in front of his own home without daring to go in.
In the end, the servants in the mansion who were out shopping recognized him and shouted that the master was back. Only then did Qin Miao have no choice but to walk through the door of his house.
He knew that what he would face next would be a violent storm from Qin Yuezong...
…
"What? What were you just saying? Say it again!"
Qin Yuezong slapped the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, and the teacup was instantly smashed to pieces.
Qin Miao tremblingly recounted her experience carefully.
After Qin Yuezong heard this, he asked angrily, "Where are those two people? Where have those two people gone? Where are my ten thousand taels of silver? Those twenty cars of cloud yarn are also fake?"
Qin Miao said with a tearful voice: "I was drugged by the sweat medicine they used. How could I see anyone when I woke up? The money was handed over to them the day before departure, and the twenty carts of boxes containing cloud gauze were handed over to me." I checked box after box carefully and found that they were all fake! The Yunsha transaction with Nan Zhao must also be fake, and we, father and son, were deceived by them."
Qin Yuezong fell down on the chair. He never dreamed that he would be deceived by such a young man who looked extraordinary and noble.
He has been deceiving others for most of his life, but he never imagined that he would be deceived so miserably by others, and this time the deception cost him a total of ten thousand taels of silver.
That was the total cash and banknotes owned by his Qin family, plus more than a thousand taels of loans. This meant that half of his life had been in vain, and everything became someone else's pocket overnight. He is really unwilling!
"Report to the official! Hurry up and report to the official! Hurry up and ask the county guard to contact the surrounding counties to arrest this person immediately. If you catch this person, you may be able to get the money back. Go quickly, go quickly!"
When Qin Yuezong was preparing to report to the official, Qin Miao's words were like a basin of cold water that poured down Qin Yuezong.
"Father, what should we report to the officials? We don't even have proof that they borrowed money. How can we prove that we were defrauded of money by them? Even if the officials really help us find those two people, we can't sue them. ! We have no evidence in our hands!"
It’s over! It's over now! What Qin Miao said was absolutely correct. If he wanted to report to the official, he would have to show proof that he had been defrauded of his money, but now they and his son had no proof at all!
Before, Qin Yuezong planned to ask Shao Xi to sign a contract document to receive money, but he didn't want to be played by Shao Xi. The father and son were also obsessed with money, so they inexplicably agreed without any certificate.
Now that the money has been defrauded, even if they want to report it to the officials, they have no evidence. As Qin Miao said, even if the officials catch him, they have no evidence to prove that Shao Xi's money was defrauded from them. of.
This is so disgusting! This is really like knocking out a tooth and swallowing it in the stomach!
No matter how good the relationship between the Qin family and the government is, the government will not dare to help them without any evidence. So if Shao Xi bites back and says that his father and his son falsely accused him, won't he make himself embarrassed again?
Thinking of this, Qin Yuezong couldn't help feeling tight in his chest.
Useless! It’s so cowardly! He didn't know how many people he had tricked in his life, but he had never been so cowardly.
What should we do now? The reporting officer couldn't report it, and the person didn't know where he had gone. It looked like there was no way he could recover the 10,000 taels.
After a long period of calming down, Qin Yuezong finally calmed down and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
With an expression as if he had just finished eating shit, he said to Qin Miao: "Oh! That's it! You and I have tried our best to earn our current wealth over the years, but we never expected that we would be defrauded of nearly 300 yuan in one miscalculation. Half of the family wealth can only be attributed to the fact that things have gone so smoothly over the years, making both you and my son lose their guard.
"I can't blame you for this. My father is also an old fool. Let's leave it like that! Just think of it as a lesson learned by you and me, father and son. From now on, we just need to be cautious when things happen. Fortunately, we were not too greedy at the beginning. I put in ten thousand taels."
But Qin Miao's next words made Qin Yuezong completely collapse.
"Father...father...actually, what we invested was not 10,000 taels, but...20,000 taels. Previously, I secretly pledged all the house deeds and land deeds of our Qin family to Taihe Commercial Bank, and borrowed another 10,000 taels. Two, and gave them all to that boy...
If these ten thousand taels...are not returned to Taihe Trading Company within half a month, people will come to seize the house and the land. I am afraid that you and my son...will have nothing from now on and will live...on the streets. "
"What……!"
Qin Yuezong jumped up from his chair. He couldn't believe his ears. He couldn't believe that his own son would do such a thing behind his back!
Originally defrauded of ten thousand taels, he comforted himself that at least the Qin family's wealth was still there. After a few years, if they and his son cheated a few more people, they might be able to earn back the lost ten thousand taels.
But now Qin Miao told him that the current Qin family actually had no money, which meant that the entire Qin family had been deceived by Shao Xi. This news was like a thunderbolt to Qin Yuezong, a bolt from the blue!
For most of his life, he had used all his scheming and painstaking efforts to harm countless people to get the property from other people's hands into his own hands, and now he was so inexplicably handed over to them.
Half a month! Where can he get ten thousand taels of silver in half a month?
Qin Miao's words are tantamount to a death sentence for the Qin family. In half a month, his father and son will be kicked out of their home by Taihe Trading Company. The Qin family's real estate, real estate, and all businesses and industries will be taken over by Taihe Trading Company. , what does this mean to Qin Yuezong? This means that his whole life has been in vain.
After all the scheming and all the tricks, in the end I will be like those people who were tricked by them back then, and I will be cornered and penniless. Is this retribution?
A person who spends his life digging holes for others ends up falling into a big hole that will never be recovered. This is simply the greatest ridicule, the greatest irony, and the greatest retribution in his life.
Qin Yuezong was so angry that he couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked Qin Miao to the ground while he was kneeling on the ground. He went up and kicked Qin Miao two more times. Qin Miao was kicked by his father but he didn't even dare to fart.
At this time, even if Qin Yuezong wanted his head, he did not dare to say a word. He was greedy and smart, and secretly mortgaged the Qin family's property, which finally led to today's results.
No matter how much Qin Yuezong beats him and scolds him, he still deserves it. Since he was greedy at the beginning, he deserves to suffer such consequences now.
"You...you...you unworthy son, how could the Qin family raise a waste like you? I have been greedy in my life, but I have never been so greedy as you that I have lost my brain.
"You actually dare to mortgage my Qin family's property? Okay! Very good! Anyway, I don't have a few years to live, and I have nothing left. I wonder what you will do with yourself in the rest of your life?"
Qin Miao crawled to Qin Yuezong's feet, hugged Qin Yuezong's thigh and begged.
"Father! My son knows that he is wrong. Father, you can't ignore your son!"
Qin Yuezong raised his leg and kicked Qin Miao aside, yelling angrily.
"Go away! I'm not your father, and you're not my son. I don't have a bastard son like you!"
