Ximen Qing smiled and took a bite of roasted donkey meat. He took a sip of wine and said," Brother Chen, you don't know. I'm in charge of the county's criminal name. Let me tell you, all the property of a guilty person is unknown. If you can get away with it, that's good. If you can't, the most serious thing is to confiscate your house. The lightest thing is to confiscate your mansion's land. Although the good land in Tokyo is good, it's worthless now. There's no one in the world who can take it as collateral.”
Chen Wenshuang immediately sat down after hearing that. His face was ashen and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
"Sir, I'll mortgage Lion Restaurant to you. Is that okay?”
"This Lion Restaurant is Brother Chen's family's most profitable business.”At this moment, Ximen Qiao was relieved. It seemed that this young master had already had a mental breakdown.
. "As long as I can save the lives of my entire family, let alone a Lion Restaurant, I'm even willing to own the Vast Cold Palace.
Chen Wenshuang begged. He had wanted to mortgage his beautiful wife, but he was afraid that Ximen Qing would not accept it.
Ximen Qiao deliberately maintained a short silence. He took a big gulp of wine and said," Since Brother Chen is in such a hurry, I will go and help you even if I have to spend all my money. How about this? After writing the mortgage contract, I will go and look for my godfather. This matter cannot be delayed."”
When Chen Wenshuang heard this, he got up from the ground and bowed repeatedly. He turned around and called the accountant of Lion Restaurant. He immediately wrote a mortgage contract. Both parties agreed that Lion Restaurant would mortgage 50,000 taels of silver to Ximen Qing, including all the assets of the Kabuki, and the 20 mu of fertile land in Qinghe County.
If it was successful, Chen Wenshuang would have to give Ximen Qing 200,000 taels of silver to redeem Lion Restaurant and the 20 acres of fertile land.
If things didn't work out, there would be no ifs. The contract wasn't written either, because Chen Wenshuang's family would have already been raided by then.
The tipsy Ximen Qiao hummed along with the world's most unequal contract in his arms. When he returned home, the moon was already full in the west tower.
Ximen Qiao didn't come back, and the whole family was waiting. When they found out that they had gotten Lion Restaurant, the whole family was overjoyed. Yue Niang Wu specially asked the kitchen to make a few dishes for Ximen Qiao, and they ate and drank together.
"Sir, do you know how to manage this Lion Restaurant?”
Yue Niang Wu was the first wife of the family. She was still pretty and never offended Ximen Qing. She let him wander around. However, she was very strict in managing the family. She managed all the big and small matters in an orderly manner.
Ximen Qing was also very assured of her. This woman had a prosperous husband. When she married into the family, not only did she bring a huge amount of gold and silver wealth, but she was also an excellent butler. Most importantly, she did not care about him fooling around with other women.
Ximen Qiao thought to himself that he had to sleep early tonight. He still had to rush to his godfather Cai Jing's place in Tokyo tomorrow. Of course, he would listen to his godfather as to how he should help Chen Wenshuang.
"Wifey, Lion Restaurant is open for business as usual. I have my own arrangements. I won't drink for now and sleep for a while. Tomorrow, I'll ask Dai An and Lai Fu to accompany me to the capital to see my godfather.”
Ximen Qiao yawned and went up to the main building under Yue Niang Wu's service.
In the living room, Ximen Qing's second wife, Meng Yulou, was left with a dumbfounded expression. According to Ximen Qing's rules, she was supposed to be the one serving tonight. However, the high-ranking official might have forgotten about it because he was drunk. She could not afford to offend the first wife, Wu Yueniang.
She could only give up. When she returned to the east building, Lai Wang and Qiu Ju had been waiting for her for a long time. She cursed angrily,"Get lost…"
Lai Wang served hot water and towels, while Qiu Ju was a servant girl who came to accompany him in bed.
Under Yue Niang Wu's " service ", Ximen Qiao, who was drunk, quickly became energetic. Seeing that he still had to hurry on tomorrow, Yue Niang did not continue with the entertainment equipment that she had prepared.
After that, Ximen Qiao closed his eyes and thought to himself, This Ximen Qing really knows how to enjoy life. This is too good.
The sky was slightly bright, and Ximen Qiao began to pack his luggage. Dai 'an had already prepared the red horse.
It would take about a day to go to Tokyo. Ximen Qiao took three to five valuable jade bottles from the inner room and brought fifty thousand taels of silver with him.
If he could succeed, it would be very difficult for Chen Wenshuang to take back Lion Restaurant. How could he gather the two hundred thousand taels of silver?
Ximen Qiao was already completely familiar with Ximen Qing's memories. Ever since he bribed Cai Jing last year, especially after he spent a lot of money to get Cai Jing to be his godfather, the Ximen family had soared.
From one herbal medicine shop to five shops, his wealth soared. He even became a deputy thousand households in the county, released official debts, used the money of the government to earn high interest, and opened his own private loan.
This time, he had to contact Cai Jing even more closely. There was no such thing as a path to heaven in this world. If he walked more, there might be such a path.
Before Ximen Qiao transmigrated, he was a pharmacist and had some experience in business.
As he walked, Ximen Qiao recalled the scene of his last meeting with Cai Jing. Cai Jing had promised him that he would soon give him the salt business because the salt inspector was his favorite student.
Salt trade was the most profitable trade in the Song Dynasty. Salt and iron were originally monopolized by the imperial court. However, due to the blockage of the canal and the difficulty of transportation, the imperial court had entrusted some big merchants to sell them. Without a considerable relationship, one would not be able to receive such profitable business.
Ximen Qiao couldn't help but speed up his whip, leaving his two followers far behind.
