: Unpredictable misfortunes and blessings

Mu Yan got the news earlier.

He immediately sent someone to the waters near Ningbo to check the situation.

When the news began to spread in Beijing and reached Huo Xi's ears, Mu Yan had already invited him to a restaurant's private room.

"Is the news true? The ship really capsized, the people and goods are gone? The ship back from Hirado, Japan?"

Seeing that she was as anxious as an ant on the hot pan, Mu Yan comforted her when she knew she was worried about her uncle's safety.

"I don't know yet. I have sent people to nearby waters to inquire about the situation. The fishermen on the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang only said that the boats returned from the East, and the specific country they returned from is uncertain. It may be possible that those who returned from Japan, from Ryukyu, or from North Korea."

"Did the fishermen say they were saved? This time is not the storm period, so why did the boat capsize?"

The ships going to sea had at least one thousand materials and more than one thousand five hundred materials. Such a big ship had not encountered strong winds, so how could it capsize?

Since Huo Xi received the news, he couldn't sit still.

I want to take a look at Ningbo in person.

If something really happened to my uncle, how could her mother bear it?

"Don't worry, I sent someone to inquire as soon as I heard the news. It's just winter moon now, maybe they haven't returned yet. It may not be because of the strong wind. It may also encounter reefs, islands and reefs. There are many reefs in the waters. There are also many undercurrents. It can also make sailors make mistakes in operation, and it is possible."

This has returned to the Weichao waters, so why would you still encounter reefs?

The straight distance from Ningbo to Hirado is shorter than from Ningbo to Guangzhou Port. It has been a familiar route in the past two years, so how could it capsize at your doorstep?

Huo Xi was not comforted at all. Mu Yan said a lot, but she didn't listen to it, and she felt anxious.

This trip costs only tens of thousands of taels of silver, as long as people are alive. My uncle has a good water quality and can live to wait until the nearby fishermen rescue him.

Huo Xi couldn't sit still.

Mu Yan couldn't stand it, "You should stay in the capital with peace of mind. Don't think about inquiring about the news myself. I have already sent people to inquire about the news, and Longxing and the other three companies have also sent people. Our news is faster than you, so please wait for news in the capital with peace of mind."

"Then whenever you have news, please let me know immediately. I have to tell you any news, is it good or not..."

Mu Yan glanced at her and nodded.

Huo Xi couldn't sit still and pushed the dividends this year to the other party, so he left the table and went back.

Mu Yan sighed and ordered Li Yi: "Let Qian San Kun Si go there in person, and while fast horses, flying pigeons pass on a letter to Ningbo."

"yes."

Huo Xi returned to the shop, Shen Qianzhong was not here, and the accountant said that he had gone out to inquire about the news. Huo Xi sat for a while, but didn't sit still, so he got up and went to the Pei family.

However, the concierge told the boss and the young master that they were not there, and Huo Xi said he wanted to find his young master.

Pei Youjing's wife is a daughter of Wanjia. Wanjia Muzi also went out to sea together during this trip. The father and son were not here, so it would be fine to ask Wan.

Unexpectedly, the concierge said that Wan was not here either. He looked for Huo Zhong, but he was not here either.

Huo Xi became more and more anxious. After thinking about it, he raised his legs to go to Wanjia.

I just walked to the door of Wanjia and found that there were many people surrounding the door of Wanjia.

I hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.

"Let Wancai come out! Don't hide inside and leave without making a sound, we know that they are father and son are at home!"

"Yes, let Wan Cai be happy, Wan Jingyu comes out! I said it well at the beginning, everyone goes out to sea to make money together, but now something happens, I will be like a turtle shy!"

"Come out, you can't come out!"

The door was filled with anger. An old woman was still sitting on the ground at the gate, slapped her legs and cried bitterly, saying that her poor son, she would not be able to come back this time, and the pain was too great. There was a young woman standing beside her wiping her tears.

Neighbors on a street opened the door and looked around, talking a lot.

"This is a timber company that can make people fat, and what kind of people have to go out of here, will something happen if you learn from them?"

"If you go to sea, go to sea to find the poor people who can't survive. One or two hundred taels of money, most of them are willing to take the children of the tribe. Now, something happened."

"The Wan family is also kind-hearted. When they were going to go to sea, the tribes came to get a share of the pie. I heard that the Wan family was recommended but it was not, so I asked each family to bring a lot of goods on the ship. Several children of the tribe followed."

"Now I'm kind-hearted and thought it's a donkey. This Wan family is not like their in-laws Pei family. The Pei family is really a big family. If the Wan family doesn't have the ability, don't take on this job. Now, it's time to get nothing."

In the hall of the main house of Wanjia, Wan Caixing sat on the head seat, frowning. His son Wan Jingyu walked around anxiously. The married daughter Pei Wan couldn't stand it anymore.

He spoke out: "Brother, don't walk around. Think about it quickly and see how to solve the people at the door."

"How to solve it? That's a group of blood-sucking leeches! When our family was in trouble, they all hid us. When we made a fortune, they posted it again. When we saw that we were going to go out to sea, they all asked for the goods from each of them, and they had to put them on the fortress. Those who had no money to handle the goods also sent their concubines to the ship. Didn't they just want to get a share of the pie? How did they ask for our family? Now the news has not been confirmed, and they all came to live and die."

He glanced at the father of the head, "I want me to say that such tribe members should stay away from them. My father is still thinking about his flesh and blood. It is better to support a dog than to support them! I throw a bone in the dog and wag my tail at me!"

"Stop!" Wan Caixing shouted.

So, I want to say that he is not even as good as a dog? He can’t tell people clearly?

But in this world, whenever you have some money, everyone will stare at you. Only by uniting the clan and having a big family business, will people not dare to bully it at will.

But my son doesn't understand his hard work.

Wan Caixing thought about the tribe members who were trying to preach at the door, and had a headache.

Some people can only share the same joys but not the same sorrows. Perhaps after this incident, it is also a good thing, and we can see who is really standing on his side in the clan.

"Dad, my father-in-law said that the news is still uncertain, and it may not be our ship. Let's invite the tribe members at the door in and discuss with them slowly."

"Invite in? It's not that we didn't invite them in. They themselves don't want to come in, and they insist on causing public opinion at the door to force our family to pay their money and goods!"

Wan Jingyu gritted her teeth, "Before going to sea, it was agreed that this trip was unpredictable. Whether it was life or death, the money they earned was their own business. That was great. As soon as he heard that the boat had capsized, he ran over and asked us to pay for it!"

There is no such tribe! No strangers are so ruthless.

"Dad, why don't we pay them according to the goods they have decorated at the market price. Just think that our family bought them."

"No compensation! Why!"

Wan Caixing sighed and looked at Wan Jingyu: "Do as your sister says."

Huo Xi watched a farce at the door of Wan’s family and felt even more uneasy. All the Wan family came to ask for money and people. Did he get any news?
