system of princes and generals

Chapter 172 Are You Threatening Me? (big chapter)

Seeing Fang Ding kneeling on the ground, Huo Guang felt an inexplicable pleasure. At the beginning, Fang Ding had a vitriolic look, and he didn't give the princess and him any face. He relied on his elder brother to be a high-ranking official in Chang'an, and he was always defiant.It's just that Fang Ding forgot that he was in Beiguan, and Beiguan was the fief of Changminghou.

Huo Guang pursed the corners of his mouth slightly and made an intriguing arc, but he didn't calm Fang down. In his heart, Fang Ding's lack of cooperation was different from those ordinary people who didn't follow him into the mall to sell things on the street.Those ordinary people are just being used and incited. They are originally the people who live at the bottom of the society and earn hard-earned money.But Fang Ding is different, his arrogance must be suppressed.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang didn't want to make a decision, at least now he couldn't let him settle in the mall so smoothly.Fang Ding came so early because he also wanted to see if the facade next to the door that he had promised him was still there. Seeing that it was still empty, he immediately felt relieved.

Just when he saw that the best berth was still vacant, the joy in his heart was no less than the excitement when his first store opened. Fang Ding thought foolishly that as long as it was vacant, this berth would still be his. Yes, maybe the county horse is just to keep it for him. After all, his elder brother is a high-ranking official in Chang'an, and he doesn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face. Besides, his emerald jade square is the pillar of Beiguan. Give some thin noodles.

Fang Ding knelt on the ground with a playful smile. He concluded that as long as he persisted, the county horse would definitely help him up, and the bunk would still be the same bunk. Not only that, but the original conditions would still be exempted from paying the rent.

Self-confidence is an advantage, but excessive self-confidence is arrogance, and arrogance is destined to become a tragedy.

Huo Guang pursed his lips slightly, and slightly raised a contemptuous arc, but this meaningful smile did not attract Fang Ding's attention. He still arrogantly thought that Huo Guang would still be the same as before, just like when he went with the princess. Fangfu, modest and unassuming, and promised a lot of discounts.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind Huo Guang. A group of people were shouting, some were pushing carts, some were carrying poles. Excited, everyone's faces are filled with happy smiles, like a festival, because they are going to do something big today, and they have never done anything in their life.

All of them have to sign a contract with the county horse. Although they don't know what the contract is or what is written in the contract, most of them can't read. It’s not easy, but none of that matters, as long as you can enter the mall.

I heard from the neighbors who have already signed the contract that this contract is only good for them and not bad. They are uneducated, but they understand the truth. You can't do business when it's windy or rainy, but it will be different in the mall in the future, you can do business in any weather.

Huo Guang heard people's footsteps, his eyes swept over Fang Ding's body, and as Fang Ding's fleshy figure disappeared from Huo Guang's sight, leaving only a trace of disdain.

He didn't ask Fang Ding to get up, and he ignored Fang Ding's request, which was a bit embarrassing. Fang Ding could only kneel and dare not get up. At this time, he got up and walked away, unless he didn't want to stay in Wancheng any longer. Go down, or no matter how stupid he is, he won't do such a stupid thing.

The people have already parked their goods at the entrance of the mall, waiting to sign something called a contract.It is said that as long as you sign the contract, you can go in and place goods.

Huo Guang walked towards them slowly, leaving Fang Ding behind.

At this moment, no one noticed that the fat man not far away was kneeling on the ground with an embarrassed expression.

Just as Huo Guang stood still in front of the people, a person suddenly squeezed out from behind the crowd, holding a dozen papers and silks high in his hand.

"Jun Ma! It's me, Jun Ma. Why didn't you wait for me to come out first?" Wang Yi stuck his head out with his tall body, gasping and squeezed from the back of the crowd to Huo Guang.

The day before, Junma just told him that it was time to go to the shopping mall to sign contracts with the merchants, and he didn't say that he would not come with him. Hearing that Jun Matian left the mansion just after dawn, he ran all the way here.

Huo Guang didn't say much, and watched as Wang Yi arranged for people to send written papers to all the merchants who were waiting to sign the contracts. Most of them could not read. content.

Wang Yi is used to these tasks, and he started to shout when he got the order, and answered everyone's questions one by one. Some places and terms are not understood by ordinary people, and Wang Yi explained them to everyone in the most easy-to-understand way. , when he first started to do this job, he resisted, but now that he has done a lot, he has become more comfortable.

The monkey-faced people have also arrived. As "staff", the monkey-faced people come to the mall earlier than ordinary merchants, so they also come to the mall early, open the door, and patrol down the mountain to make sure everything is normal.

But everyone who walked past Fang Ding had responsible, weird eyes, and finally turned into mocking eyes.

After the contract was signed, Huo Guang took out the location map that had been arranged earlier, asked Monkey Face to take them in, and arranged for each merchant.

Everyone happily walked into the shopping mall they had dreamed of.

It was still very early, and there were not many people coming and going. The mall had fixed opening and closing hours. It had been publicized for a long time before the opening. The people had reached a tacit understanding, and merchants began to enter the mall through the back door one after another. , Fangzheng's position happened to be near the back door, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in.

Fang Ding had been kneeling for a long time, and it was almost time, Huo Guang suddenly turned his head as if he had just discovered Fang Ding.

"Oh, Fang Ding, why is Boss Fang still kneeling here? It's so cold in the morning, why are you always kneeling, get up quickly."

Fang Ding was stunned for a moment, and his heart felt worse than eating coptis. Did he want to kneel on his own? He thought that when I got up, it was the commander who knocked him down with one move first, and then he knelt on the ground. He remembered it, but how could he get up if the county horse didn't speak.

The point is that he has been kneeling for so long, and the county horse only said to let him get up when he came over, and there was nothing to do for the shop at all.Fang Ding was heartbroken. Anyway, he had been kneeling for so long, and he would not stop doing anything. He must let the county horse make a verbal promise first. He also saw those small traders holding a piece of paper. , Still shouting about the contract, I have been kneeling for so long, I must get a piece of paper to give up.

Fang Ding grinned. He was too embarrassed anyway, so he didn't care about it. "Jun Ma, no matter what, you can give me a positive answer today so that I can feel at ease."

Huo Guang curled his lips, "Whatever? Is Boss Fang threatening me?"

Fang Ding did not expect that the always gentle Junma would suddenly change his expression, and his expression would be ugly. This kind of ugliness was not anger or hatred, but an unpredictable shock to him.

Fang Ding has met everyone for most of his life. He didn't like to be an official since he was a child, but he liked to do business. These years have been prosperous, and he is handy in dealing with all kinds of people. People say People's words, hell talking nonsense, there has never been a real thing, but I have never met a character like Junma, who is smiling one second, and becomes completely unpredictable the next second.

He was scared and retreated. At this moment, he was like a funny clown. He didn't know what Jun Ma meant by what he said. Didn't he politely go to Fang Mansion to find him a few days ago? Why did it become like this?
Although Fang Ding is arrogant, he is not stupid. He knows the importance of Jun Ma to him, and the Changming Hou Mansion behind Jun Ma cannot be offended.

"How dare the little one threaten the county horse? Even if the little one has 1 guts, he would not dare to do such a rebellious thing. The little one is begging, please, the county horse, to give the little one the empty berth, so that Cuiyu can have it." A place for you." After saying this, Fang Ding was unambiguous and kowtowed three times on the ground.

Huo Guang was a little surprised by Fang Ding's reaction. He knew that this person was shameless, but he didn't expect to be so shameless. He was so thick-skinned and disgusting that the so-called profiteer might be like this.

Huo Guang reserved that bunk for him, and he expected that he would come to beg him, but Huo Guang was still unwilling to give it to him. Huo Guang wanted to let Fang Ding know that the boss of Beiguan would always be the Marquis of Changming. Whoever changes the master's master, the status will definitely not be reduced. If a small merchant dares to break ground in front of the princess and horse, then Huo Guang is too easy to bully.

"To tell you the truth, the shop that was originally offered for Cuiyu Fang is indeed the best shop in our Rongguang Mall, but since you don't care about entering our mall, naturally many people are eyeing that position. I'm still thinking about it. Which one."

What Huo Guang said is true. The mall just opened yesterday, and many big merchants in Wancheng sought various connections to lobby for the vacant shop that Huo Guang wanted. It had the best location and the largest area. Who would not Willing to extend your business tentacles.

However, they wanted to reach in. Huo Guang's original intention has not changed. At the beginning, he wanted to benefit the people. He wanted the people on the carpet to have a place where the wind and rain could not blow, and they did not have to get up too early to set up a stall. , and will not be bullied by bullies. As for the two big bunks on the left and right of the gate, they are just to support the facade and look good in front of the gate. That's why at the beginning it was said that all rents will be waived, but some people don't know how to flatter them. , Now he can't help regretting it.

Fang Ding's heart turned cold when he heard Huo Guang's words. He never expected that he just waited an extra day, and it would turn out like this. If the county horse really gave his berth to someone else, he knelt here for nothing all morning. Love is a trivial matter, but losing Cuiyufang's position in Wancheng is a major event.

"Jun Ma. I know I was wrong. For the sake of my sincerity, please give me another chance." Fang Ding still refused to get up. He knew that as long as he didn't get up, this matter said There may be a turnaround.

There were more and more people coming and going, Huo Guang didn't want to entangle with Fang Ding anymore, "Get up first, I'll think about it later."

"Thank you Junma, thank you Junma." Fang Dingyou knocked his head on the ground three times.

Huo Guang twitched the corner of his mouth, and said to himself, brother didn't say yes to you, so thank you.

It’s inappropriate to say too much, Fang Ding knew that he would not get anything out of the county horse’s mouth today, and it was a bit disgusting to kneel again, his knees were so painful that they were almost numb, the county horse told him to get up, and hurried down the steps , stood up hastily.

Although he was in a hurry, he really tried his best to straighten his legs and barely support his fat and oily body, but he couldn't take a step.

Seeing Fang Ding's funny look, Huo Guang snickered in his heart, but he didn't mean to help him at all. Huo Guang didn't leave, didn't speak, just looked at Fang Ding with a half-smile.

Fang Ding gritted his teeth and swallowed in his stomach. Originally, he wanted Huo Guang to leave, so that he could limping back. If he insisted on walking to his shop for a while, everything would be fine.

But at this moment the county horse didn't leave, just looked at him, that is to let him go first.

Huo Guang didn't forget to add, "Boss Fang has been kneeling for so long, go back and rest quickly."

"Okay, thank you Junma for your concern."

Fang Zheng bared his teeth and bowed while walking towards the other end of the street in an extremely ridiculous posture.

Wang Yi has been standing behind Huo Guang. Seeing Fang Ding staggering away, he took a step forward and said softly behind him, "Junma can forgive those people who didn't follow you in shopping malls, why is it difficult for Fang Ding?" Well, this guy was tortured by the county horse, so he probably won't be able to figure it out in the next few days."

Huo Guang sneered, "Fang Ding is naturally different from those ordinary people." Leng Daozi's eyes swept over Fang Ding's back, then turned and walked towards the mall.

Huo Guang would also be surprised that he just casually exaggerated the competition for the remaining berths, but it really turned into a prophecy, and this prophecy was soon realized.

After finishing his work in the shopping mall, Huo Guang returned to Changming Hou Mansion. At present, the shopping mall's affairs are still very simple, and there are no difficult problems to deal with. He is also relieved to leave it to Wang Yi to do it. Originally, he thought that Wang Yi would stay in the shopping mall. As the main manager, I will lose a tail, and the result is that I am still too young.

After Wang Yi knew that he could not follow the county horse at any time, he kindly arranged two guards for the county horse to follow him at any time. The reason was that the martial arts of these guards were not as good as his own. Angry and speechless.

Finally, under the escort of the two tails, he walked to the vicinity of the Hou's Mansion. Huo Guang was still thinking flatteredly that it would be good to arrive at the Hou's Mansion, and he could finally be alone for a while, but he didn't want to see a group of people standing in Changming Hou's Mansion just as soon as he looked up. The door was blocked by the guards in front of the door.

A group of people had very good eyesight. They saw Huo Guang at a glance and shouted, "Jun Ma." They ran towards him.
