Although Mu Zexian and others are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, they are only in front of their peers. Zhang Moyang is also the head of the family, but he will not take them seriously.
At this time, he was so attentive, Mu Zexian and the other young dudes felt flattered, and they became more and more pleasing to the old man.
"Patriarch Zhang's kindness is appreciated by the younger generation. I still have some things to do today, so I will disturb Patriarch Zhang another day." Mu Hanyan said.
"Since Mr. Mu still has something to do, then I won't force it." Patriarch Zhang has a straightforward temperament, and he didn't pretend to be pretentious with Mu Hanyan. He smiled heartily and sent Mu Hanyan and his party out in person.
"Boom" At this moment, there was a muffled sound outside, and there were hurried footsteps.
"Who are you, how dare you attack and hurt someone in my Zhang's house!" Immediately, an angry shout was heard, and the sound was uneven, obviously the injury was serious. "
"Who is it? Creditor! Let your Patriarch come out to see me." An arrogant voice came later.
Hey, why does this sound sound familiar.
Before Mu Hanyan remembered who this person was, Zhang Moyang walked out with a pale face.
Mu Hanyan was curious and followed her out.
In the courtyard, there were more than a dozen youths in gorgeous clothes, with extremely arrogant expressions.
"Which family are you from?" Zhang Moyang frowned and asked.
Although the Zhang family is not one of the eight great families, it is also a well-known prominent family in the capital. There are not many people who dare to come to the Zhang family to show off their power. These young people obviously have a lot of background.
"I've met the Patriarch Zhang, the younger generation He Qingwei from the He family, these are Fang Ziqing from the Fang family, Sun Feihong from the eldest grandson, and Song Shibo from the Song family..." The little fat man standing at the front of the crowd nodded carelessly towards Zhang Patriarch Forget about saluting, and then introduce the companions around him.
"Meet the old Patriarch Zhang."
"Greetings to the old Patriarch Zhang." The other teenagers also had their nostrils upturned, and they nodded their heads as a salute. There was no trace of respect on their faces, and it was obvious that the visitors were not kind.
"It turns out that they are all old friends, so I don't know what is the purpose of coming to my Zhang family today?" Zhang Moyang asked in a deep voice.
Seeing He Qingwei and others' confident appearance, Zhang Moyang had some ominous premonition in his heart.
"Patriarch Zhang, that's the case. I came here today to take over the refined iron mine under Xiaozhou Mountain." He Qingwei said with a smile.
"He Qingwei, are you joking?" Zhang Chihua said coldly.
Xiaozhou Mountain is just west of Yunjing City, only five hundred miles away from the capital, and is famous for its rich iron ore. Although refined iron itself is not valuable, and it is not the same as meteorites, the quality of refined iron in Xiaozhou Mountain is extremely high, and it can be directly forged even if it is not smelted. The output is huge, and it is close to the capital, so the income is not cheap.
He Qingwei actually came up with the idea of the Xiaozhou Mountain Mine. Isn't that a tiger's mouth
Zhang Moyang didn't know the group of second-generation ancestors in front of him, but Zhang Chihua had seen them a few times, knowing that these people were ignorant and playful, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
"Brother Zhang, do you think I'm joking?" He Qingwei also recognized Zhang Chihua, but he was confident and not afraid of him. He took out a written receipt, shook it and handed it to Zhang Chihua.
Zhang Chihua took a look at the paperwork, his expression changed slightly.
"What's going on?" Zhang Moyang asked in a deep voice.
"Jing Tong borrowed three million taels of silver with Xiao Zhoushan's mine as collateral, and also made a contract. If he cheats and refuses to pay back, he will pay with the mine." Zhang Chihua said in a low voice, and handed the paper to Zhang. Mo Yang.
"Let Zhang Jingtong come and see me." Zhang Moyang looked at the paperwork, raised his brows, and shouted angrily.
"Master Patriarch, Mr. Jing Tong went out for training the day before yesterday and has not come back." The servant said tremblingly.
"This bastard!" Zhang Moyang was trembling with anger, and cursed heavily.
Mu Hanyan shook her head. She also knows a thing or two about the Zhang family's mine in Xiaozhou Mountain. Although the value of refined iron is not as good as that of meteorites, the advantage lies in its huge reserves. No matter what the value is, it should be in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions. It is no wonder that Zhang Moyang is not angry because he was mortgaged for three million by a prodigal son.
You can think with your toes that Zhang Jingtong owed the three million taels, most of which were cheated by He Qingwei and other second generation ancestors. But the black and white text was there, even if they knew he was being tricked, the Zhang family couldn't do anything about it.
"Old Patriarch Zhang, you have read the documents. It is only natural to pay back the debt. Although Zhang Jing ran away together, the temple is still there after the monk ran away. What should you do with this debt?" He Qingwei smiled. Said.
"Chi Hua, take three million taels of silver and give it to Mr. He." Zhang Moyang suppressed his anger and said to Zhang Chihua.
"Wait, old Patriarch Zhang, I'm afraid you didn't read the documents clearly. According to the original contract, if you don't return it within the time limit, you will be compensated with the mine. Today has passed the deadline, so I am not here to ask for a bank note. I'm here to get the title deed." He Qingwei's expression darkened, and he said straight away.
"What!" When Zhang Chihua heard that He Qingwei really dared to make plans for his own mine, Zhang Chihua was furious, "He Qingwei, I would be willing to pay back the money for that prodigal son, don't push yourself!"
"Brother He, it's not right for you to say that. The written documents are in your hands, and there are so many children from aristocratic families to testify to me. I just acted according to the agreement. How can I be considered as an inch?" He Qingweiban Said with a straight face.
"Yes, we were all there when they wrote the document. Zhang Jingtong owed three million taels of silver and did not pay it back after the due date, so it should be offset by the mine in Xiaozhou Mountain. This is a matter of course. How can you say that Brother He is making progress? " Song Zhe and others all echoed.
Not only were they present when the document was written, but the three million owed by Zhang Jingtong was actually their masterpiece. With the financial resources of a group of their second-generation ancestors, they can't afford three million, but a little trick on the gambling table not only made Zhang Jingtong owe three million in gambling debts, but also mortgaged Xiao Zhoushan's mine. up.
Thinking about the good show they performed together, Song Zhe and others were secretly proud. Zhang Jingtong lost his eyes and didn't think too much, but they knew how much the mine was worth. When they get the Zhang family's Xiaozhoushan mine, not only will they not have to worry about eating and drinking, but their status in the family may be improved a lot.
"Since you say so, then whoever owes the debt, you can find someone to go to. We don't care about it." Zhang Chihua said with a cold snort.
Although Zhang Chihua is clean and self-sufficient, but as the young master of the Zhang family and a child of the aristocratic family, he is no stranger to the small tricks of He Qingwei, Song Zhe and others. He had already guessed that Zhang Jingtong owed the three million to him, which was a bit strange, and he was probably cheated by He Qingwei and others. up.
