That happened four thousand generations ago. At that time, Pei Yan was still a man named Hu Gan. He was a businessman in the tea business and often traveled between the mainland and Inner Mongolia.
That time, he escorted a ship of tea from the Blue River to the Yangtze River and traveled westward for several days. Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the big wooden ship was bumping and was overturned by a huge wave. The dozen or so loads of tea on the ship also flipped into the river. , floating in vain.
Fortunately, Hu Gan, the boatman and a partner were all good at water, so they were not swallowed up by the rapid river current and lost their lives. When the strong wind subsided and the waves weakened, they worked together to flip the large wooden boat that was overturned like a turtle's back and restore it. There were still a few loads of wet tea soaked in the water in the cabin. Hu Gan and three others took it out to dry. On the sampan to prevent mildew.
But there is a problem that makes Hu Gan's head big. This ship of tea was shipped according to the order from Inner Mongolia. Now there is only 10% of the tea left, which is obviously less than the quantity specified in the order. I will not send it. , Hu Gan was very confused.
In this case, delivery is also a breach of contract, and failure to deliver is also a breach of contract, and the delivery date is approaching. If we return to our hometown in Enan, thousands of miles away, we can certainly get a full ship of tea to reship, but the delay will be in vain.
The frowning Hu Gan suddenly came up with a bad idea. He temporarily anchored the large wooden boat on the shore, then led his partners and boatmen to climb up the river bank and go to the high mountains to pick green leaves from wild branches and stuff them into skin bags. The opening of the skin bag is covered with a layer of real tea leaves. In this way, they arrived at the agreed delivery place in a large tea house in Inner Mongolia and got through smoothly.
On the fourth day after Hu Gan checked out, the tea shop owner opened each bag and took out the tea leaves for processing. He found that except for a few pieces of real tea leaves on the surface, they were all green leaves from wild branches. He blew his beard and stared in anger. Eyes, and said through gritted teeth, one day I will come to settle the score with you. If you cheat me first, I will cheat you sooner or later.
When the God of Wealth talked about this, he also told the Door God that the value of the fake tea leaves that Hu Qian got out with green tree leaves was exactly the same as the value of the counterfeit coins that Pei Yan gets now. The cashier Xiao Yan is the reincarnation of the past Inner Mongolia tea house owner.
Oh, there is such a thing. The door god sighed.
The God of Wealth stood up from the stone pier and was about to leave. As he was leaving, he expressed emotion to the Door God:
Karma is not good at all. Even after hundreds of thousands of kalpas, when the opportunity is ripe, enemies and enemies will still get together to collect debts that should be collected and repay debts that should be paid.
Before that, a jeweler named Zou Hongxian was walking on the streets of Hangzhou. He was very rich, but he lived a low-key life. He never wore famous brands or showed off his style, but he maintained a high-profile in business. Many cities in the south of the Yangtze River have A chain of jewelry stores he opened.
Because he has a gentle temperament, he doesn't have to worry about competing with his peers for market share, and because he pretends to be a bit "shabby", he doesn't have the trouble of ruffians and pickpockets causing loss of money.
Anyway, everything is going smoothly for Zou Hongxuan. At this moment, he felt a little hot, so he went to the cold drink stand to buy a cup of sour plum soup, then took it in his hand and was about to drink it.
Suddenly, I was called by an old fortune teller a few meters away, "Hey, this boss, come here, come here." Zou Hongcheng didn't want to go there, but when he heard the old man say "boss", he was shocked. Most people couldn't see that he was a boss. This showed that the old man's eyesight was not bad. Maybe he was really the boss. Folk experts can see some tricks.
In this way, Zou Hongzhen drank the sour plum soup in his hand, ordered another cup of sour plum soup and walked over to give it to the old man who read the fortune telling.
The old man who read the fortune teller was not polite. After drinking his sour plum soup, instead of saying something nice, he just said, "Boss!" The boss! Seeing that your seal has turned dark, there will be disaster within the next ten days, and your life will be hard to save.
After Zou Hongqiu heard this, she felt a little nervous, but she tried her best to calm herself down and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Are you that smart?"
The old fortune teller smiled and said whether it works or not will be verified. It's not up to me or you to say. I originally turned a blind eye when I saw someone like you, who is approaching disaster and cannot be saved, but seeing that you are kind on your face shows that you are also kind on the inside. I would like to remind you from my conscience that you should take care of some things that need to be dealt with in advance. Take care of it.
Zou Hong felt like someone had poured cold water on him. Although he felt uncomfortable, he felt much calmer. He glanced at a pair of couplets placed on both sides of the stall that read: Guiding the lost gentleman and awakening the long-stranded hero. Then I asked the old fortune teller, "You said I have had bad omens in the past ten days. Is there any solution?"
No. The old fortune teller said, if you had met the old man half a month earlier, you would have been saved. But now it is too late and there is no way to save him. Of course you can find another expert!
I'll give you whatever you want. Zou Hongxuan planned to encourage him and reached for his wallet.
I don’t want money. For an endangered person like you, can I have the heart to ask for money? The old fortune teller waved his hands as he spoke.
Zou Hongzhen had no choice but to put the wallet he took out into his clothes pocket and said frankly what he thought. I half-believe what you said. But you just said that I am the boss, and you and I are strangers. Most people can't tell that at all. How did you tell that?
The old fortune teller smiled again, why didn't I know this? If you have a broad forehead and bulging cheeks, you can become rich even if you are not a boss. I think you are the boss, a quiet boss with some qualities, but it’s a pity...
Are you a pity that I am short-lived and have met with misfortune?
No more, no more.
Zou Hongxun saw the old fortune teller shaking his hand and he walked away, but there was a pressure in his heart that he couldn't "leave" away.
Zou Hong thought: Since she only has nearly ten days to live, she should deal with the urgent matters within these ten days.
At this moment, he immediately returned home, took out the account book, walked to his wife Wang Fu, and confessed that there are three jewelry chain stores in Hangzhou, and each of them purchases goods from our jewelry store. In other words, they all have credit accounts. If I am not at home, , you can go to them to collect the account according to the account records in the ledger.
Aren't you at home? How can I collect the bill? Wang Fu, who was wearing a blue cheongsam, asked puzzledly.
I have to go to another place to collect the bill. Of course, I'll tell you when I come back. If I can't return to Hangzhou on time, you'll do it for me. Zou Hongxian felt that she could only say this and could not tell her what the old man said.
strangeness! It's not the end of the year, why are you in such a hurry to collect bills from other places? Wang Fu asked, with a look of confusion on her face.
The payment cannot wait until the end of the year. Wouldn't it be better to collect it earlier? Zou Hongxi said as she handed the account book to Wang Fu, and then prepared her outfit in the room.
Wang Fu took the account book and didn't bother to look at it carefully. She put it on the table, but she thought about it in her heart and said, why did you collect the accounts well at the end of the year in the past, but now it has changed? Zou Hongxuan didn't answer, put on a white Mao suit, and went out carrying a blue leather satchel.
He took a boat for several hours that day to Qingcheng Jewelry Chain Store to collect the first payment of 5,000 yuan, then returned to the riverside dock and took a boat upstream. As he approached Lucheng, the sky was getting dark, but the lanterns on both sides of the river were lit up, illuminating the river. Colorful.
The ship docked at the Lucheng pier. Zou Hong left the pier and was thinking about going to the city to find a hotel to stay and rest before collecting the bill tomorrow. He couldn't help but look around.
Suddenly I heard a splashing sound, and I followed the sound and saw a splash of water below the river bank. A woman jumped into the river and was sinking. I could still see a lock of black hair floating in the water.
Zou Hongqian couldn't help but take off her coat, revealing her bare body with only her underpants left. She immediately plunged into the river with a fierce force on the shore, pushed the drowning woman out of the river, and lifted her to the shore.
The woman's face was pale, her mouth was black, she tilted her head, spit out the dirty water in her throat, and then cried in a hoarse voice, "Don't save me, let me die..."
