Siheyuan: Famine year, I can teleport to New York
Chapter 20
"Father, why don't we leave for a while and go to other places for shelter!"
The always smart fourth son of the Kang family suddenly said at this time that he had sensed the changes in the domestic situation a long time ago, and many of the families who were familiar with their family had sent out their children.
It's just that Mr. Kang, the head of their family, was unwilling to leave his hometown. In addition, their family was too large and would always attract attention, so they didn't take any action.
If Kang's fourth son had said such things before, Mr. Kang would have reprimanded him immediately.
However, due to the changes in the domestic situation at this time, coupled with the disaster this year, Mr. Kang really wanted to send two of his sons away.
Even if something really happened, their Kang family would not be dead.
"What you said, I haven't thought about it. Now the higher-ups are trying their best to collect gold and silver. These hard currencies can't be taken out. If gold is exchanged for money, it will attract the attention of the higher-ups. I'm afraid it's our family's assets. , all of them can’t be kept, and there are places where money is spent outside, if you guys go out without money, I’m afraid it will be difficult to make a move in other countries.”
Master Kang's sons and daughters also sighed at this time. Their Kang family opened a ticket office Tianchengyuan during the previous dynasty, and the dividends of the ticket office can get tens of millions of taels of silver every year.
It controls the national finance, and also manages deposits. At its peak, it owned 23 branches in all parts of the country, as well as in Russia, Mongolia, Japan and Southeast Asia.
Mr. Kang was the fourth son in the family back then, and the Kang family was targeted by various forces in order to leave a root for his family.So he came to the capital with a lot of family property, and spread his branches and leaves, but he didn't expect the same situation to come to him now. In order to survive the family, he wanted to let his son go away.
And it's still hard to get out.
Just when they were at a loss, a stone was thrown out of the window, breaking the window and falling in front of them.
"who is it!"
The second son of the Kang family pushed open the door and wanted to find out who threw the stone.
Originally, their family had many servants and even a nursing home, so they would not be easily sneaked in, but now they are not allowed to hire people to do these things, so now only their Kang family is left in their family. The third person who opened the door belonged to the grandsons of the Kang family.
The second child of the Kang family walked quickly to the courtyard without seeing anyone, then walked back and closed the door.
When the second child of the Kang family went out, Mr. Kang had already taken the stone from the third child of his family, opened the wrapped paper, and wrote a line of words crookedly on it.
"If you want to trade US dollars, come to the third alley in front of the door and meet in the fifth courtyard in an hour."
Master Kang frowned, and then passed this piece of paper to several of his children.
"Father, it seems that someone is eyeing our house again!"
The youngest of the Kang family looked at Mr. Kang, who was more sad, "I just don't know which one it is this time, and there are some more variables in the plan to send someone out."
"The other party asked us to meet at night, so do you think we should send someone there?"
The fourth son of the Kang family, who had not spoken all the time, said at this time that since he had already approached him, he might not be able to solve it by avoiding him.
"There is nothing to discuss here. The other party dare not come to the door in person, only dare to use this kind of ghost trick. Maybe the other party is a thief who doesn't know where to get the news about our family. I will go to him with a gun tonight. Let them solve it directly, and save you guys from being suspicious here, even if our Kang family is not as good as before, it is not like a cat or a dog can come to make trouble."
The second son of the Kang family had a fiery temper when he was young, and he was always simple and rude in doing things, so he practiced kung fu all over his body, and even a dozen people could not get close to him. It's anger, and now there are still people playing this trick with their family, so naturally it made him explode directly.
As for the thing in the paper that they want to exchange gold for dollars, they don't believe it at all.
Now the whole country is collecting all kinds of foreign exchange to get various technologies from the hands of the two empires.
It is basically impossible to have US dollars in private hands. Even if there are estimates, it is not much, and it will certainly not meet their requirements. The other party should use this to lure them out.
"Father, I think what the second brother said makes sense. We must go. At least we need to find out who the other party is and what plans they have for our family. Otherwise, the enemy will be in the dark. We are in the open. That's not good for us."
The words of the youngest of the Kang family made Mr. Kang nod his head.
"Then the second child, you can take a few younger ones in the family and the third child, and go to have a look together at night. This action is up to the third child, and it is not a last resort. Don't do anything with others casually, and cause trouble for our family. unnecessary trouble."
In order to prevent the second child of the Kang family from causing trouble outside, Mr. Kang would not let him run around outside under normal circumstances. He was naturally very happy to be able to go out with Mr. Kang's permission, even though the third child was with him It makes him a little uncomfortable, but he is the second brother of the third child, so it will be different to let him listen to him.
Xiao Yi did not leave after throwing the stone in, but continued to squat outside, wanting to see how the Kang family reacted.
If he had any other thoughts, he would naturally not go to this meeting.
Unexpectedly, the Kang family seems to be more cautious than him. Although the other party may carry a gun, judging by the other party's attitude, it should not be easy to do it. After all, during this period, the intensity of patrols in the capital has been greatly enhanced.
This is a time of disaster, and there are a large number of hungry people. If people become hungry, many troubles will occur during this period.
If they really shoot at this time, they may be found by patrols soon, and by then, many results will be unpredictable.
The place Xiao Yi made an appointment with was a deserted courtyard. The original owner didn't know what happened, and the original wealthy family was blown away by wind and rain.
Now it has become a paradise for some mice. The arrival of Xiao Yi, an uninvited guest, immediately made the aborigines here a little panicked.
Hei Niu has been monitoring the Kang family's situation, and they are just getting ready to go out at this moment.
Xiao Yi found a relatively secluded place and hid in a place with higher terrain.
Behind here is another alley, even if something happens, you can leave directly.
After Xiao Yi waited for about a quarter of an hour, the second child of the Kang family followed the third child of the Kang family and brought a few young people to the place Xiao Yi had agreed upon.
"The people of the Kang family are quite punctual. Well, just stand there and don't go any further. It's better for us to keep a little distance from each other."
Just as they were about to ask the family's nephews to spread out to check the situation here, the Kang family heard Xiao Yi's hoarse voice.
"Your Excellency called people from our Kang family here, but didn't meet them, isn't it a bit rude?"
The youngest of the Kang family said loudly, then waved his hand to let the other Kang family members behind him slowly approach the place where the sound came from.
"Bang" a bullet landed in front of the Kang family.
"It seems that the Kang family seems to have doubts about this transaction. To show my sincerity, I can show you my strength first. If you think this business can continue, then tomorrow is still this time. I am here Wait for you."
A black leather box was thrown in front of everyone in the Kang family, and then Xiao Yi fell silent.
By the time the Kang family came to the place where Xiao Yi was hiding, Xiao Yi had already left.
"If you hide your head and show your tail like this, you don't look like a hero at first glance. Don't let me catch you!"
After finally coming out, the second master of the Kang family was obviously very upset that he hadn't seen the rightful owner yet.
The always smart fourth son of the Kang family suddenly said at this time that he had sensed the changes in the domestic situation a long time ago, and many of the families who were familiar with their family had sent out their children.
