Republic of China small businessman

The nursing homes of Huang's family left accordingly, and Li Chunlin gave orders, and returned to the car to continue on their way.

the other side.

Xu Jun has brought Xie Jing to the saltworks.

The salt field is a bit quiet today, the houses in this area are low and low, the hall for receiving guests is wider but not high-beamed, and the situation inside can be seen clearly at a glance.

Two rows of people stood opposite each other, a salt tank was broken, and the semi-flowing salt water that had not been completely dried was scattered all over the ground. Many salt workers took sticks and stood behind the old steward, glaring.The person on the opposite side was not to be outdone, and shouted: "The Xie family's salt has been mixed with sand, why, now that it has been returned, do you still want to deny it?!"

A young and strong salt worker rushed forward when he heard it: "You fart——"

The old steward stopped him, cupped his hands and explained to the other party: "This matter really needs to be investigated carefully. This kind of thing has never happened in our saltworks for decades."

The man standing opposite folded his arms and said provocatively: "You guys said this yourself, then check it out carefully!" He started with the salt bags that were brought over to be transported away, and put the snowflake salt packed in sacks on the wall, and these people cut them open with knives on the spot, and the white salt grains scattered all over the ground in an instant!

The old steward was so distressed that he stopped repeatedly, but the other party grabbed a handful of salt grains on the ground, and pushed the people in the salt field while saying: "You said there is no sand, it is not sand!"

The old steward wanted to argue with the other party, but was slapped by the man who came to make trouble.

When Xu Jun led people in, he happened to see the old steward covering his face and dodging, while the man standing opposite wanted to punch and kick, Xu Jun was furious: "Stop!"

The whip that was faster than him was Xie Jing's whip. The black whip shadow slammed it around the opponent's wrist and dragged the man to the ground. He didn't know how to whip it. There was a "pop" of the whip, and the man's face , The wrists were all red and swollen, and they screamed out!When the strong men behind him heard this, they came over a few steps and were about to make a move, but they were soon subdued by Wang Su and other guards, who cut their hands behind their backs and knelt on the ground.

Xu Jun went up to look at the old steward's injury. The old man had worked hard all his life and acted fairly, and he had never been treated like this. For a while, he burst into tears and said tremblingly: "The second master, this is from the Huang family. They said before There was something wrong with the salt I ordered, and the salt that was sold to Guozhuang was bad salt mixed with sand. Our salt farm has never done such a heartless thing in decades..."

Xu Jun asked someone to invite a doctor, and helped him to sit down: "I know, I will deal with this matter."

The man who was whipped by Xie Jing was still cursing, probably because he was used to domineering in the lower city, he had never been beaten before, and his mouth was very dirty.

Xie Jing stepped forward and removed his chin without saying a word.

The man howled in pain!

Xie Jing knelt down, slapped his face with a dagger, and said coldly, "I've always liked to be quiet. If you dare to quarrel again, I'll cut off your tongue. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

The man stared at Xie Jing with wide eyes, breaking out in cold sweat from the pain, but he held back and dared not make a sound.He had never seen such an unreasonable person, even Xie Siquan always had to interrogate a few words first, this person didn't play cards according to the routine, he did it without saying a word!

Xu Jun walked over to see the bad salt they used to make trouble, and then looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Nine out of ten people were sent by Huang Wanxing to make trouble on purpose."

Xie Jing stood up and said, "I think so too, Second Master, I'll ask someone to hire someone who can talk."

Before Li Chunlin's carriage walked out of the two alleys, it was intercepted by Wang Su and others on horseback. Pointing at his head with a black hole in his mouth, no matter how decent Li Chunlin is, he would not dare to criticize him. Bullets don't have eyes.

When Li Chunlin was brought to the salt field, he forced himself to calm down, and when he met Xu Jun and others, he just cupped his hands and asked, "Xu Er is the head of the family, what is the meaning of this?"

Xu Jun said with a dark face: "It's nothing else, I want to discuss another business with shopkeeper Wang."

Li Chunlin looked at the people who were held down on the ground, with a bit of anger on his face: "Our Huang family bought a lot of salt from your salt farm last month. Xu Er is the head of the family. Business is not righteous. You hurt my Huang for no reason. My comprador, I still want to argue with you—" He was about to step forward, but was whipped by Xie Jing's feet, and a crisp sound left deep white marks on the stone slabs, and all the stone chips were pulled out !

Li Chunlin was dumbfounded.

Xie Jing stood in front of Xu Jun, looked up at him and said, "I really need a theory. Your subordinates beat me up in charge of the saltworks. It's unfair."

Li Chunlin's eyelids twitched, and before he could speak, he saw the young man in front of him dragging the Huang's comprador, but in the blink of an eye, the Huang's comprador's hands were all twisted off his wrist bones. When he returned to Li Chunlin's feet, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, tears and snot flowed down his nose in pain, he hid behind Li Chunlin and dared not go forward, only looked up at Xie Jing and trembled, already afraid of being beaten.

Xie Jing said softly: "This is only fair."

Li Chunlin was slapped in the face in public, his face was red and white, and he said angrily: "Who are you? I'm talking to Xu Er, the head of the family. Where is your turn—"

Xie Jing didn't say a word, Xu Jun behind him said coldly: "This is the young master of the Xie family, the young master of Fuquanzhuang, do you think it's his turn to talk!"

Li Chunlin said: "Second Master Xu is determined to make trouble with the Huang family?"

Xu Jun: "It's your Huang family who acted wildly on my Xie family's territory for no reason!"

Li Chunlin squinted his eyes and said: "Master Xu Er, I advise you to stay on the front line in life and work, so you are not afraid of two tigers fighting each other and ending up with both sides hurting?"

Xu Jun sneered: "If you are evenly matched, you will lose both sides. Your Huang family is not worthy."

Li Chunlin suffered a great loss in the salt field, couldn't hold back his face, and turned to leave, but was stopped at the door. The tall guards who "invited" him just now took the hemp rope, and put him on the ground with the Huang family members. They tied them together, not even letting go of the nursing home with him.Li Chunlin turned pale with shock, and struggled: "What, what is this! Let go!"

Xu Jun didn't expect this either, looking at Xie Jing, Xie Jing explained: "Second master, don't panic, we are used to it in the Northland, we have to arrest bad people and send them to the police station, these people seem to be provocative, In fact, it is extortion, which cannot be tolerated."

There were a lot of stumbling incidents between Xichuan salt merchants, but most of them were trivial matters. The folks were not used to alarming the government. This was the first time Xu Jun had seen such an operation.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Jing showed him another move.

After the members of the Huang family entered the police station, Xie Jing immediately sent someone to find a reporter. Xichuan was full of theaters and teahouses, but there was no newspaper office. It took nearly a day of riding a fast horse to find a newspaper office.After the reporters came, they took pictures and interviewed, and the manuscript was written on the same day. In less than three days, the first wave of public opinion appeared in the newspapers.

The headlines in the Rongcheng Daily were shocking, "Xichuan Huang Wanxing's slaves go to jail, and his family hides tens of thousands of wealth", "The shopkeeper of the Huang family beats the old man in his seventies", "Xichuan Huang's family: 'Bad' salt dropped bags, thousands of "Gold into the bag"... Under repeated bombings, the people of Xichuan City also began to discuss. There were very few things written about the Xie family in the newspapers, only a few words were mentioned, and most of them were the identity of the sufferer. The Huang family bought the Xie family. The good salt from the family saltworks was mixed with sand, just to seek greater benefits.

After Xie Jing waited for the newspapers to come out, he asked people to buy a lot of them and gave them to the newsboys, and asked them to sell them along the street. He also gave some small money to the storyteller in the teahouse. With just one or two yuan, the other party could talk happily all day long!

All of a sudden, the public opinion became more and more violent, and the Huang family's major businesses also suffered, and many orders were returned, not only in Xichuan, but even Guozhuang from other places refused to take them.The Huang family also runs two pickle restaurants, and they have been approached by people in the past few days, holding pickles and insisting that they bit into sand, asking for a refund.

If someone wants to buy something from the Huang's house, they will be stopped by the people around him: "Hey, don't buy things from the Huang's house, they are mixed with sand!"

If you meet someone who is older, you will try to persuade them: "It's better to go to the Xie family in Shangcheng. They have all the food and use. They haven't made any mistakes for more than ten years. This time, they were really cheated by the Huang family."

……

In just three days, the Huang family lost all credibility.

And let the people talk about it after dinner, and the shopkeeper Li Chunlin.

A photo of Li Chunlin's mansion was exposed. The gate is huge, with solid copper doors and luxurious decorations. There are even a pair of stone lions used in the former government office at the gate.

It was written in the newspaper that this stone lion cost nearly [-] yuan!

Li Chunlin is just a shopkeeper, and he has limited money for a year. Where did he get the money to buy such an expensive item?What's more, this is just a pair of stone lions placed outside. Isn't there something more valuable in the house?

While Li Chunlin was in prison, his family suffered from thieves three times.

Huang Wanxing went to the Yamen to redeem the man, and spent money to deal with it, but it was very unhappy to bring him back in the end.He also read the newspaper himself. Although he knew that he shouldn't be estranged from the big shopkeeper under him, it said so in the newspaper. No matter how he looks at this confidant now, he can't help but think about the things in the newspaper... His family's property, Li Chunlin, a big How much did the shopkeeper sneak up on?

Huang Wanxing is about 50 years old. He looks thin and short, far less grand than his name, and he is not very particular about his clothes. He is dressed in a long robe that is old and not old. Sitting on the main seat, he does not look like Li Chunlin who just came out of prison. .

Li Chunlin cried for a while, but seeing that Mr. Huang didn't respond, he slowly quieted down his voice, and knelt down on the ground with lowered eyebrows and eyes.There was nothing wrong in the newspaper, he was indeed a servant of the Huang family, and he had worked for so many years to get what he is today, and the premise of having these is the trust of Master Huang in him.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Xie Jing: I believe in Buddhism, so I cannot see blood.

Huang's comprador:? ?

Li Chunlin:? ?
