Chapter 80 My Brother-in-law is the Master of the Market
Wang Qiuxia held her hand with her backhand: "Xiao He, forget it, we are just ordinary people, how can we fight against them!"
Jiang Xiaohe shook her head and held Zeng Hua's hand again: "Mom, Second Aunt, if we leave in disgrace today, will we still be able to do business in this town in the future? Do we do business every time and they will destroy our stall?"
When she said the last sentence, she stared at the man.
The man sighed and chuckled, "It's good that you understand. From now on, don't even think about doing any business in this market. In this whole town, if you see me, you'd better avoid me!"
"Bah! Who do you think you are? We're still going around in circles!" Jiang Xiaohe cursed.
"Hey, you stinky bitch, you're just asking for a beating today!" As he said that, he was about to roll up his sleeves to beat Jiang Xiaohe.
Wang Qiuxia and Zeng Hua were about to apologize again, but Zhang Daniu came up and said, "Mom, aunt, what my cousin said is right. Are we not going to the town anymore?"
After saying that, he immediately stood in front of Jiang Xiaohe and looked at the man: "If you dare to touch her, I will fight you to the death!"
Another person next to the man immediately came up and asked: "Are you looking for death?"
Jiang Xiaohe stood behind Zhang Daniu and whispered something to the girl. The girl looked at Jiang Xiaohe and nodded seriously, then turned around and ran away when no one was paying attention.
Jiang Xiaohe then pulled Zhang Daniu and said, "Daniu, get out of the way."
Zhang Daniu glanced at her and saw Jiang Xiaohe nodding at him, so he moved away a little.
Jiang Xiaohe looked at the man who came to help: "His brother-in-law is a yamen runner, do you have any relatives who are officials or work in the yamen?"
The man who came to help was speechless.
At this time, in the distance, the man who had just left came over with a yamen runner.
The man snorted and laughed: "My brother-in-law is here, you can't leave now even if you want to."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bailiff walked in through the crowd.
The man immediately shouted in grievance: "Brother-in-law, you are finally here. This group of people bullied us, look, what they beat me into!"
After he finished speaking, he held up his face. Nothing could be seen because of the black and yellow color on it. He felt good about it.
The yamen runner frowned at him and said, "I told you to do business properly, why do you always cause trouble?"
The man immediately pouted and pointed at Jiang Xiaohe and his group: "I also want to do business properly, but they just have to make trouble for me!"
The bailiff immediately looked at the group of people, and then glanced at the mess that had not yet been cleaned up.
The man added: "They stole my customers. The customers walked to our stall, but they yelled at them and dragged them away."
When the bailiff heard this, he immediately looked at them again.
When he glanced at Jiang Xiaohe, he felt that the woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
Jiang Xiaohe said, "You are out here doing business, can't you just shout a few times? Also, you are obviously jealous of my business and are looking for trouble, how come it becomes my fault?"
The man couldn't argue with Jiang Xiaohe, so he turned around and grabbed the bailiff: "Brother-in-law, arrest them, they are simply disrupting the market!" After saying that, he stared at them viciously.
The yamen runner took a look at them and saw that they were all dressed in the simplest possible way. His expression immediately changed: "Come with me. This market in our town is for the convenience of the people to do business. If you disrupt the market like this, how can the people in this market do business?"
When Jiang Xiaohe saw the look on the yamen runner's face, she knew in her heart that he was simply shielding someone and wanted to arrest them without even understanding the specific process. What right did he have?
"Brother officer, I want to ask, what are you arresting us on? Have we committed any crime? You can ask the bystanders. He was the one who smashed our stall, and we didn't cause any trouble to him. Why don't you arrest him first, but instead arrest us? What's the logic behind this?"
The crowd around them listened to these words and pointed at them.
The bailiff felt very uncomfortable and looked at Jiang Xiaohe with narrowed eyes, thinking that the woman in front of him was really ungrateful!
Just as he was about to speak, the man next to him spoke first, and he started by yelling at the crowd: "What are you yelling about? Be careful or I'll have my brother-in-law arrest you all!"
The crowd immediately fell silent. He then turned to Jiang Xiaohe and said, "What's the reason? Let me tell you! This entire market is under the jurisdiction of my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is the owner of this market! Whatever he says, we have to do it. When will it be your turn to question him?"
After hearing what he said, Jiang Xiaohe looked at the bailiff, only to see that he looked calm and composed, and obviously agreed with this statement.
It is because of his attitude that this man is lawless in this market!
Jiang Xiaohe suddenly laughed.
Her laughter startled Wang Qiuxia and the others, and they hurriedly pulled her: "Xiao He, are you okay?"
Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "Mom, I'm fine, I just heard a joke."
Wang Qiuxia and the others were puzzled.
Jiang Xiaohe looked at the yamen runner and the man: "You are so shameless! The head of the pavilion asked you to manage the order of the market, but you abused your power for personal gain and oppressed us poor people for your own selfish interests! Aren't you afraid that the head of the pavilion will know?"
"Tingzhang? Do you think he will listen to you or to me, a yamen runner?"
"That's right! The captain gave my brother-in-law the jurisdiction of the market because he trusted him. How dare you mess with me and my brother-in-law! I tell you, you will pay for it today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the yamen runner waved his hand at him, telling him to stop talking, and then he said loudly: "Today you disturbed the market and deliberately disrupted the order of the market. Now I will put you in jail and let you eat jail food for a few days to wake you up!" After that, he didn't want to talk nonsense with Jiang Xiaohe anymore: "Do you want to go to the yamen by yourself, or do you want me to tie you up and go?"
After saying that, he shook the rope in his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll tie you up so you don't run away on the road!"
Wang Qiuxia and Zeng Hua were both a little scared.
Zhang Daniu didn't think there was anything wrong. On the contrary, he felt that Jiang Xiaohe's performance today made him look at her with new eyes. This was completely different from the peasant women he usually saw in the village!
As the guards tied up Jiang Xiaohe's hands, they squinted at her and said, "You'll be in trouble in jail!"
The bailiff's brother-in-law also stared at them arrogantly, his eyes saying: This is what happens if you fight me!
Jiang Xiaohe was not afraid of him because she had already asked her big girl to go to the yamen to beat the drum.
The onlookers were all sighing, thinking that this family was really stubborn. Why did they have to fight against the officials?
The older sister who was buying groceries shook her head, thinking that Jiang Xiaohe didn't know how to behave and didn't know how to do things!
After the bailiffs tied them up, they pushed them away.
At this time, Zeng Hua somewhat blamed Jiang Xiaohe in his heart. He felt that if she hadn't made a fuss, they wouldn't have been tied up and taken to the yamen. People on the road were looking at their family. In order to punish them, the yamen runners deliberately took them through the busiest street. Wherever they passed, pedestrians on the road pointed at them.
