Chapter 260： The wall fell and everyone pushed it

Chapter 260 The wall fell and everyone pushed it

"What are you shouting? My boss is sick!" Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but pulled the steward and scolded him in a low voice.

The steward shook off the shopkeeper's hand and jumped anxiously, "Shopkeeper Liu, why are you here? Come on, I want to see my boss. Something bad has happened. The ship has sunk and the goods have been robbed! It's over, it's all over!"

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that his family had collaborated with others to transport a shipload of valuable things back from the south, including fine silks, spices, medicinal materials, etc.

Even though they live all over the world, they still have two rare seasonings that are also on the shopping list.

Could it be that the ship sank?

Manager Liu’s expression finally changed!

Maybe he heard some noise in the house, and Wang Fu helped Wang Yuanwai and walked out.

Wang Yuanwai's face was pale and his lips were blue. Now his eyes were red with anxiety and he asked: "Wang Gui, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"

The steward named Wang Gui knelt down and said with a choked voice: "Master, we shipped the goods back from the south. We were still two hundred miles away from home, but a group of water bandits ran out of nowhere and boarded the boat in the middle of the night. Caught us all.

"The goods were robbed and the boat was broken into pieces. Fortunately, the group of water bandits did not hurt our lives... Later, we were rescued by a passing boatman and went to a nearby county to report to the official, but the official said that the water bandits You are a veteran, there is no way you can find the goods!”

"You, you...does heaven want to destroy my king Xinqiu?"

Wang Yuanwai was so furious that he spurted out another mouthful of blood and fell down.

Shopkeeper Liu and Wang Gui rushed forward and were frightened.

Since his wife was not there and there was no one in charge, Wang Fu called a boy to ask for the doctor.

Shopkeeper Liu and Wang Gui were in the room watching their boss change clothes, so they left.

Shopkeeper Liu pulled Wang Gui and asked, "If I remember correctly, the cargo on the ship is not just for our family, right?"

Wang Gui nodded vigorously and almost shed tears.

"Our family only has 5,000 taels of goods, and the remaining 15,000 taels belong to others. Originally, we took turns going south, and this time it was our family's turn to purchase and **** them. We also signed a deed before, and if the goods were damaged, our family would have to pay for it. Compensation will be 20% off.”

Shopkeeper Liu was speechless for a long time, and his heart was trembling.

This time, not only did the Wang family lose five thousand taels, but they also had to pay out twelve thousand taels of silver!

The Wang family has suffered some bad luck. After today's trouble, Sihaiju's reputation has been ruined, and it will definitely not be able to continue operating in the future.

Now that I am so broke, I can save nearly 20,000 taels in one go.

What’s more serious is that my boss is so ill that he is almost on the verge of death.

Is the Wang family about to be defeated?

Then what are these slaves going to do?

At this moment, the boy had already invited the doctor back, and Wang Fu quickly took him in.

Wang Gui didn’t do anything, but Shopkeeper Liu frowned.

This doctor's surname is Sun. He knows him well, and his medical skills are among the best in the city.

But this man has a problem. He has an outspoken temper, a loud mouth, and cannot keep secrets.

Let me ask you, who wants to have any illness known to outsiders the next day?

Therefore, few people in the city are willing to seek medical treatment from him on weekdays, unless there is really no way to deal with the serious condition, like Wang Yuanwai...

After a long while, Dr. Sun came out and asked: "Find a quiet place. I want to write a prescription and ask the medicine boy to go back and grab the medicine quickly."

Shopkeeper Liu and Wang Gui quickly led him into the next room. After serving him with pen and ink, the little medicine boy took the prescription and ran away.

Shopkeeper Liu couldn't understand the prescription, so he asked in a low voice: "Doctor Sun, what's going on with our boss? Maybe it will get better soon? There is some trouble in the business at home, and we are waiting for our boss to deal with it."

Doctor Sun glared and said angrily: "People are about to die, and you are only thinking about treatment! How is that possible when you ask the patient to be alive and well? I am a doctor, not Daluo Jinxian! Besides, what were you doing in the early years? Even if this disease had been diagnosed and treated five or six years in advance, it would not have been fatal until now!"

Wang Gui opened his mouth to refute, but was stopped by shopkeeper Liu. Shopkeeper Liu arranged tea and snacks for Dr. Sun, and then took Wang Gui out.

"Brother, you stay here, I have to go back to the restaurant to deal with it. Someone in Sihaiju died of diarrhea and diarrhea. There was a big fuss earlier. My boss can't let him bother with this. I have to go and ask him."

“Ah, there is another thing…”

Wang Gui suddenly felt that something was not good, and he did not want to stay.

But at this time, Wang Fu came out with a small box and said: "My boss, could you please take care of my boss? I need to boil some medicine and drink it. My boss has asked me to do some errands, and I have to deal with them immediately."

Shopkeeper Liu took the opportunity and left with Wang Fu. Wang Gui had no choice but to stay.

Shopkeeper Liu sent Wang Fu off and looked back at the Wang family's courtyard gate from a distance with a complicated expression.

The Wang family is wealthy and has hired numerous doctors over the years, but just now Dr. Sun said that his boss’s headache was delayed until now and he is dying...

The things involved were too complicated, and he didn't want to, nor did he dare to.

Nowadays, in such a chaotic situation, the most important thing is to escape unscathed!

He took a deep breath, turned around and walked away...

When I came back, the sun was already setting in the west, and there were many people watching the excitement gathered in front of the Wang family courtyard. From time to time, they gathered together to talk, which made shopkeeper Liu panic.

He hurried forward and asked, "What happened?"

A nearby neighbor recognized Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Go in and take a look. I heard that Mr. Wang is seriously ill and someone is coming to collect debts!"

Shopkeeper Liu's face turned dark. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the outer courtyard, he saw a chair placed under the eaves of the corridor. Wang Yuanwai sat slumped on it, his face pale and weak.

Opposite him stood two groups of people. One group was a businessman who had good relations with the Wang family on weekdays, and the other group was the shopkeepers of several of his own shops.

Several shopkeepers secretly waved to him to come over.

At this time, the few merchants who had made good friends spoke, "Brother Wang, it's not like we are adding insult to injury. It's true that every family is not well off."

“That’s right, Brother Wang, we agreed at the beginning who would be responsible for shipping the goods. We didn’t have any problems those few times, but your family encountered water bandits this time.”

"Our family bought five thousand taels of goods this time. According to the contract, Brother Wang returned me four thousand taels, so I also lost one thousand taels. I am a human sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky. This Who are you looking for to reason with?"

"Me too, I'm waiting for this new batch of goods in the shop. It's too late to send people to find the goods immediately. Not only do I lose money, but I also miss the peak season of winter."

Everyone was talking and complaining, and everyone felt like the sky was falling.

Wang Yuan waved his hand to signal everyone to shut up, and then looked at Wang Fu.

Wang Fu's hands trembled and he took a box and stepped forward.

Wang Yuanwai opened it and took out a stack of banknotes. The eyes of all the creditors immediately lit up.

Sure enough, according to the deed, everyone quickly got the compensation money they deserved.

Although we have lost something, it is still better than nothing.

They encountered water bandits unexpectedly and Wang Yuanwai was seriously ill. Even if they really refused to admit or compensate, they had nothing to do.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanwai would be so happy, which actually made everyone blush.

After all, we had gotten along well for many years before, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to go south together to purchase together.
