PNB Chapter 278 Tang Weiyu, the shop was smashed.
Chapter 278 Tang Weiyu, the shop was smashed.
"No! I don't want to!!"
"No! Absolutely not!"
"We must not let them continue to get carried away!"
"They should be lowly merchants who kneel at our feet, wag their tails and beg for mercy, relying on our charity to survive!"
"We must not let them get ahead of us!!"
Looking at other people's emotions, I was able to arouse them.
Cheng He's face curved with satisfaction.
Then he said, "Then we have to teach those merchants a lesson."
"Let them know that in Xianyang, we still have the final say!"
"If you want to jump out of our hands, you have to ask us first!"
Several other people were encouraged by Cheng He's words.
They all thought he was right.
They all clamored to teach those merchants a lesson.
Only one of them asked, "So what should we do?"
"I'm afraid the previous methods are no longer useful."
Yes.
Now those merchants have the protection of Your Majesty.
He was named the Imperial Merchant.
Those methods in the past...
I'm afraid it's not very useful.
After thinking about it, Cheng He said, "We can start with some small businesses."
"We'll use the fate of some small businesses to warn them."
Small business?
One of them asked, "Why don't we take action against those imperial merchants first?"
Cheng He said, "We don't know His Majesty's attitude yet, so don't act rashly against them."
"There are only three imperial merchants in Xianyang, although we cannot touch them."
“But what about other merchants…?”
Cheng He gave a look that you all understand.
The others understood instantly.
"it is good."
"Then let's pick a few small merchants to practice and give them a warning."
Afterwards, Cheng He and several others began to discuss their targets.
the other side.
The merchants in Jiangxiang have just dispersed.
Gu Hui was one of the many businessmen.
He doesn't have many shops under his name.
There are only two shops and a tea stall.
The business run by the shop under his name is quite similar to that in Jiangxiang.
So he took refuge under the name of Jiang Xiang.
From now on, his shop will have to add a name in front of it.
Jiang's xxx shop.
On the surface, his shop belongs to Jiangxiang.
In fact, it is still his and still in his hands.
The shop's revenue books and other things are still under his management.
Apart from the extra title, there is no loss.
On the contrary, he could also take advantage of the status of Jiangxiang's royal merchant.
only........
Gu Hui always felt a little uncomfortable.
He himself couldn't tell what it was.
When he returned home, he didn't see his wife, so he found the little girl in the yard and asked.
"Where is the lady? Where did she go?"
The little girl looked only eleven or twelve years old. She was scrubbing a woman's dress in her hands.
Lvliu blinked her eyes and said, "Madam and Sister Chunhong went to check the shop."
what?
Looking at the shop?
Gu Hui's wife Tang Weiyu owns a jewelry shop.
Gu Hui felt a little relieved when he heard Lvliu say that his wife had gone out to look after the shop.
My wife often likes to go out and check out the shops.
Gu Hui also understood this.
The Qin Dynasty did not prohibit women from showing their faces in public and going out to do business.
Gu Hui asked, "When did you go? How long have you been gone?"
Lvliu thought for a moment and said, "It's been an hour since I left."
One hour...
I think it’s about time to come back.
Gu Hui thought about waiting at the door to greet his wife.
I waited and waited, but no one showed up.
He walked along the street towards where his wife's shop was located.
Before I even got near the shop, I saw a group of people gathered in front.
Gu Hui's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly ran forward.
"Make way! Please make way!"
After pushing through the crowd, Gu Hui saw that his wife's jewelry shop looked as if it had been smashed up.
Various jewelry and hairpins were scattered all over the floor.
There was a big swelling on Tang Weiyu's forehead.
She calmly instructed the steward and the waiter to pick up the jewelry on the ground one by one.
Pick up the damaged ones and put them aside. If the damage is not serious and can be repaired, put them aside.
Tang Weiyu was squatting on the ground, reaching out to pick up a jade hairpin that was broken into several pieces.
I felt a sudden darkness in front of me, and an anxious voice sounded above my head.
"Tang'er!"
Gu Hui squatted in front of Tang Weiyu, looking at her fair cheeks and the swollen forehead.
His eyes turned red with anger. "Madam, what is going on?"
"Who did it?"
Tang Weiyu looked outside the shop and saw the crowd gathered in a circle to watch the excitement.
The voice was calm, "Don't be upset, my husband. I know who did it."
"Help me clean up here first and see if there is any jewelry that can be used."
"This is all my hard work. I feel bad that so much of it has been damaged for nothing."
Gu Hui helped Tang Weiyu sit on a chair nearby, "You have a wound on your forehead, sit down first, I will take care of it."
Seeing Gu Hui's firm attitude, Tang Weiyu didn't say anything else.
I sat down on the chair and began to think about what happened today and the strange things that happened.
In fact, what she just said about knowing who did it was just a guess.
Today she brought her eldest maid Chunhong to check on the shop.
As soon as she arrived at the shop, she saw several people arguing in her shop.
She held a gold bracelet and said it was a fake sold in her shop.
Ask them to pay compensation.
But when she asked the other party to produce the purchase receipt, he said he had lost it.
She insisted that she bought it in her shop.
They said they sold fake goods and refused to admit it.
Then he started to throw a tantrum.
But she had seen the style of the bracelet and it was not at all from her shop.
She had looked at every piece of jewelry in the shop.
Doesn’t she know whether it’s hers or not?
Moreover, her shop has not sold any gold bracelets in the past six months.
It's obvious that these people are here to blackmail others and cause trouble.
A group of people suddenly rushed out from nowhere, broke into her shop, and started smashing things.
They also stole a lot of jewelry.
Tang Weiyu felt that he had never offended anyone.
I have always been honest and run a small business.
Who on earth would be so disloyal to her that he would send someone to smash her shop?
"Give it! Give it!"
The crowd dispersed.
Outside the store.
Several soldiers came out from behind the crowd and went into the shop.
One of them glanced around the store and smashed things all over the floor.
He asked Gu Hui and Tang Weiyu, "Who reported it to the police?"
Tang Weiyu stood up, took two steps forward and said.
"Your Excellency, it was the common woman who reported the case."
The officer asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Yes."
Tang Weiyu recounted what had happened in a concise and detailed manner.
"Please, sir, help me catch this evil thief and bring him to justice!"
The officers and soldiers said.
