Chapter 225: The Beginning
On the second day, the man arrived as expected. Shopkeeper Zhu warmly welcomed him into the inner room and sat him down. Then he took out the things he had prepared and said, "Please take a look, dear guest, this is it. Are you satisfied?"
?I don’t know if this amount is enough. I can only find so much in a hurry. If you still want it, I’m afraid you will have to wait for a while to get it."
Why did that person really need this thing? It was just to find evidence of crime, so he shook his head and said: "No need, this is good. How much do these cost? The shopkeeper can tell you a price!"
Shopkeeper Zhu had already received the advice in person, how could he still be polite? Then he opened his mouth and said: "Originally, this thing is very expensive. I wouldn't sell it if I don't have a hundred taels of silver. But since you are an honored guest, then...
I'll give you a discount and just charge you fifty taels, what do you think?"
Even though he was mentally prepared to be slaughtered, the man was still frightened by this answer and his mouth twitched.
Fifty taels? Or the discounted price? Why didn't he grab it?! Is his medicine made of gold or silver?!
Shopkeeper Zhu had a first-class ability in observing faces. When he saw this, he hurriedly said: "Don't you think it's too expensive for your distinguished guests? But this thing is really hard to find! If you were introduced to it by that girl, you should know that this thing is very effective. Don't
You can't buy such good things even if you have money. The price is a bit expensive, but is it worth the money? You have to think about it!"
The man looked at the small bag that was no bigger than a palm, and when he heard him talking about Green Lake, he twitched his lips again. He didn't dare to say more to let him notice the difference, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "That's true."
Really, your stuff is really better than other people’s stuff?? Fifty taels is just fifty taels. I bought it!”
Shopkeeper Zhu suddenly beamed with joy and kept saying: "That's right, distinguished guest, we have a happy cooperation. You got good things and I made money. If there is an opportunity in the future, we can continue to cooperate!"
How could he be unhappy? The key to doing business is to raise the price to the sky and pay back the money. He offered fifty taels just to leave room for counter-offering, and the final sale price of twenty-five taels was his psychological price. But he didn't.
I thought that this man looked smart, but he didn't know how to buy anything. He didn't even pay back a single coin. He really bought it for only fifty taels. I don't know which house he came from, but he was an adult with a different worldly experience.
And the man was also very depressed. He looked at the medicine bag in his hand which was worth gold, and felt cruel in his heart - let this villain be proud for a while, and when his matter is over, he must take down this profiteer. Let him know that these fifty
Two pieces of silver is not easy to make!
The two of them had their own secrets and had no intention of chatting. After handing over the money and delivering the goods, they went their separate ways. The man was anxious to take it back to verify the effect, but shopkeeper Zhu became nervous and took the piece of paper again.
I came out and read it carefully until I could recite everything by heart, and then I burned it on fire so as not to leave any evidence of guilt.
Two more days passed like this, and everything seemed calm and nothing happened. However, in the eyes of those who were interested, the atmosphere became heavier day by day, and there was a smell of storm coming.
Finally, two days later, several big and thick men suddenly came to the door. They pushed away the waiter who came to greet him very rudely, and shouted: "Where is your shopkeeper? Call him out quickly!"
When the waiter was working in this small shop, had he ever seen such a scene? His face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't react for a moment. Seeing that he didn't move, the big men walked in and put the shelves on the shelves.
All the things were thrown to the ground, and the table was overturned, looking extremely vicious.
The child looked at them and was almost scared out of his wits. He begged his father and grandma for mercy all the way, and at the same time called for shopkeeper Zhu to come out as if he were killing a pig.
Shopkeeper Zhu understood what was going on as soon as he arrived. Seeing that they were so vicious, they even smashed his shop. Although they were not worth a few taels of silver, the money he had squeezed from that person was enough to make up for the loss this time.
But isn't there also a matter of face? A businessman's store is his face, and smashing the store is a slap in the face. Even if the loss is not big, it is still a matter of face.
His face suddenly darkened and he said angrily: "Stop! If you smash up someone else's store in broad daylight, do you still think there is any law in your eyes?!"
The big man at the head looked at him and laughed loudly: "Wang Fa? How dare you, a little old man, talk to us about Wang Fa?! Let me tell you, what you are selling is illegal, come with us."
!Only when you get to the ground will you know what the king's method is!"
Shopkeeper Zhu's heart skipped a beat and he secretly said, "Here we come." When things came to a close, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. But at this moment, he had no way out. These people smashed up his shop. Such a slap in the face was also a slap in the face.
It was no longer possible for him to seek refuge with others, and he could only cling to that woman and not let go. At this moment, he became more determined to beat the other party to death with a stick, otherwise once the other side wins, let alone that woman.
The people on the woman's side, even themselves, can't escape disaster!
Therefore, although he was very nervous, he still managed to maintain his knightly aura and said in a stern tone: "What do you mean? What do you mean the things I sell are illegal?! You don't have to slander anyone, I'm a serious businessman."
, I will never do that kind of adultery and illegal thing!"
But the big man didn't bother to talk to him, and said impatiently: "You know whether we have done it or not! If you don't want to go with us, then go to court to make it clear! It's just that you are open to do business. Once
If you go to court, it will be a question of whether you can continue to do it in the future. I advise you to think carefully before making a decision!"
Shopkeeper Zhu naturally knows the power of this. As a businessman, nothing is more important than the word "reputation". If someone knows that his shop sells things and can kill people, who will dare to come to him to buy things in the future?
?His reputation is completely ruined, and he will no longer be able to stay in this capital city.
This can only be said after he survives going to court.
He was absolutely unwilling to go to court, and he had never thought of going to court, but he was also cunning, pretending to be coerced into agreeing, and reluctantly said: "You... How could you do this?"
Are you being unreasonable? That’s all, I’ll go with you and see how unreasonable you can be!”
After hearing this, the big man couldn't help but reveal a successful smile on his face, and said: "That's right. If you are good and sensible, we can do things easily and you will suffer less. Why not? As long as you are knowledgeable and sensible,
I can guarantee you that nothing will happen to you!"
He hinted insinuatingly.
Shopkeeper Zhu ignored him, turned to the waiter and said: "After I leave, you close the door and stop doing business for the time being. Count the losses in the store and write down how many taels of silver are needed. Then whoever breaks the damage will be punished."
Who wants to compensate? We can’t suffer losses in vain!”
It has to be said that Shopkeeper Zhu is still a good actor. No matter how scared he is in his heart, the righteous and awe-inspiring attitude on his face is absolutely perfect. At first glance, it can really bluff people, making people want to
Shout out to him for being "above and aboveboard".
The waiter in the shop did not have the same momentum as him. He was about to cry but had no tears. He looked at him with fear and shouted: "The shopkeeper??"
Shopkeeper Zhu glared at him and said solemnly: "What are you afraid of? I have done nothing wrong, and I don't have to worry about ghosts calling the door. The same goes for you! I'm going out with them now. If they haven't come back by night, you can call the police.
If I am harmed, this store will be given to you!"
This was originally a sign of weakness, but because of the foreshadowing of the previous words, it sounded much more powerful! The waiter in the shop was so moved that he cried so much that he held on to his sleeve and refused to let go.
It's like parting from life to death.
This scene somewhat weakened the heroic atmosphere that Shopkeeper Zhu had finally created, and made everyone laugh. The big man got impatient and shouted loudly: "Okay, okay, since you shopkeepers are not afraid
Why are you howling? If he is as innocent as he said, my master is not a person who does not distinguish between black and white. Are you afraid that he will be in any danger?! Let's go. This matter has been left long ago. Don't you mind?
Hey, we have other things to do!"
Shopkeeper Zhu heard this. Even though he was scared, he knew there was no point in delaying it any longer. He had no choice but to open the waiter's hand and follow the big men out, leaving the waiter behind as if his parents were dead.
howling.
Although Shopkeeper Zhu had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel desolate in his heart. He really felt like going to the execution ground, and his eyes turned red. At this time, a voice suddenly came into his ears and said:
"Shopkeeper, don't worry. My master has already told me that as long as you act according to the plan, your safety will be guaranteed and you will have no worries in your future life."
He was suddenly startled, and looked up hurriedly, and found that no one seemed to have heard these words except him, and among the group of big men, one person looked at him with kind eyes, and he was obviously the person who spoke.
He couldn't help being extremely surprised. He suddenly remembered that he had heard from storytellers before that some so-called martial arts masters who came and went without a trace had such abilities, and he suddenly felt happy.
His choice was indeed right. The owner of that woman was indeed quite capable. With the protection of a master in the world, as long as nothing went wrong, his life should be safe.
But then he was startled, thinking that with such a person around him, if he said something wrong, wouldn't it be very convenient to be killed and silenced? When he thought of this, his heart couldn't help but feel cold again.
