Chapter 825: Cut Off the Supply!
could make the round trip in ten days.Speed is fast, and it also minimizes danger.Jia Yi was very disappointed, but thinking that Fourth Uncle had gone out and there was no one at home to protect him...Liu Zhanggui continued to smile wryly and bow, continuing to plead, "Young Master Li, both our families depend on this shop for survival.
"Just let this go, okay We don't have any grudges against each other..."
Maoge was behind his elder brother, listening from beginning to end. He had long since lost his patience and shouted loudly: "Shut your dog mouth! Do you really think nobody knows about the nasty things you've done"
"Those rumors about my sister that went around town before, you two families haven't been shy about adding fuel to the fire!
"Do you take us for fools, not knowing anything
"
"Just didn't have the time, so I'll clean you up!
"
"Wang Sheng and Liu Kui, those two fools, came rushing at us, forcing us to compete, wanting to win our family's orchid. As a result, they lost their own shop and now they are trying to shirk responsibility!
"
"You really have thick faces! Whenever you rebuild the city walls, you just plaster your own skin on them instead of using bricks and mortar!"
"Shameless things, dare to find yourself at Broken Gold Beach You're putting on a dog's hat to pretend to be human!
"
"Is it that the Li family's knives aren't sharp enough, or do you think winter is a bad time to dig a hole and bury you"
As soon as he finished speaking, the veterans beside him burst into applause.
Compared to the eldest son's way of persuading with reason, these rough men preferred the seventh young master's blunt and outspoken manner.
This feels so good, this is so refreshing!
The veterans raised their machetes and clubs, shouting loudly.
"The Seventh Young Master is right, I haven't killed anyone in a few years, my hand is getting itchy!"
"Why bother killing them It's too easy, not fun at all! I'd bury them alive, just up to their heads. Let them suffocate for half an hour, then peel off a layer of their scalp. The blood would spurt like a fountain into the sky, oh so satisfying!"
"Damn, this works! People who shirk their debts deserve to be treated like this!"
The Liu family and the Wang family were so scared that their legs went weak.
Those who are faint of heart, imagine yourselves becoming a fountain of blood, you've already turned your heads and started vomiting.
Seeing his younger brother eager and fearless, Jia Ren felt a headache coming on. He quickly shielded the cat from behind him.
Regarding the shameless individuals like the Liu and Wang families, the Li family should indeed stand firm, but they also shouldn't go too far.
If the Liu and Wang families are persecuted too harshly, and the news spreads, it might damage Li family's reputation.
To speak of it, the world is also ignorant.
Sometimes, without considering who is right or wrong, people only feel sympathy for the more unfortunate side and then morally blackmail the stronger party.
The Li family's only goal was to get back the two shops and reclaim what they deserved as their victory spoils.
As for the Liu and Wang families, there are many ways to deal with them. There is no need to expose all of them publicly...
Brother Li guessed Brother Da's thoughts and reached out to pull Brother Mao.
Jia Ren then said to Liu Jia and Wang Jia, "Liu Kui and Wang Sheng are your family members. Even if the shop is not under their names, since they took it out as a bet, they must accept the outcome."
And aren't you always saying they are children Children make mistakes, of course you, as their fathers, have to clean up the mess!
Tomorrow at this time, if our house hasn't received the shop deed, you just wait for the magistrate's officers to come knocking! We'll meet in court directly, and the Li family is prepared to fight this to the end!
Having said that, he ordered the people of the two villages, "See him off!"
The veterans immediately rushed forward, shoving Liu Wang and his family back.
Neither Liu Wang nor their families dared to stay put. They certainly didn't want to end up as a fountain of blood.
Someone tripped and fell, but quickly got up and ran away stumbling.
Lu Zong couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "For such a shameless villain, this is how he should be taught!"
Jia Xu smiled and nodded, "At the poetry gathering back then, Wang Sheng and Liu Kui were so arrogant. They probably never imagined they would end up like this!"
Jia Yin then pushed open the door and called her brothers to get in the car.
The carriage turned around, taking everyone home happily.
When Liu's and Wang's families arrived, they were nonchalant. When they left, they were utterly disheveled.
Both families finally made it to the city gate and found a tea stall where they could drink some hot tea to warm their bellies.
No sooner had he sat down than Wang Jia's servant came over.
As soon as Xiao Si saw Wang Zhongyuan, she rushed to him and shouted, "Master, you should go home quickly. Someone from the yamen has come and returned all your belongings. They said you don't have to go on duty anymore."
"What!" Wang Yuanzhong's face turned pale, he couldn't believe it.
As the saying goes, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his little demons.
He is just a little clerk in the yamen!
Whoever comes to the yamen to do business, don't care about their background or power, just take care of these little rascals.
Sometimes just one or two silver coins, sometimes five or even ten taels. Almost every day there was income.
The sundry shop on the commercial street, it was with his accumulated spare change that he bought it.
He had just been scared off by the Li family, and he was still thinking that at worst, he would give the shop to them. As long as there were jobs, in a few years he could always set up another one.
I never expected to be caught off guard like this.
The shop is gone, and the work is gone. What will happen then!
"The Lis are truly ruthless! They're trying to kill us!" Wang Zhongyuan paled, his teeth clenched in fury.
Wang Sheng couldn't help but speak up, "Father, should we go to Uncle and ask for his help..."
He couldn't finish speaking, and was slapped to the ground by his father.
"Fool, your uncle is also a shopkeeper, what ability does he have! If he wanted to help, he came to the house yesterday. Why hasn't he shown up now You still have the face to speak, our family is ruined because of you!"
Wang Sheng's head buzzed with pain, and he didn't dare to speak again. He regretted it deeply in his heart.
Had he known this beforehand, he would have definitely not proposed a tie-breaker at the poetry competition.
But at the end of the day, it was still the Li family who was to blame. Perhaps they knew their servant's abilities were remarkable and deliberately acted helpless, luring him into a trap!
Actually, it's unfair to blame the Li family.
Guli is usually diligent and quiet. Besides being good at bookkeeping, I haven't really seen anything else remarkable about him.
To my surprise, this kid actually made a splash this time!
Mr. Jiang seemed carefree and jovial, like someone without ambition who only sought pleasure. However, he genuinely cared for Gu Li.
That day Gu Li returned to the school, and as soon as he mentioned the poetry meeting, he was severely scolded.
This time, they were lucky. The professor's exam questions were about topics they had discussed regularly.
What if it's unfamiliar!
If Guli loses, won't the master's shop also be in trouble
It's too bold, too adventurous!
Mr. Chiang personally went to the Li family to apologize and asked Gu for a job at the Baiyun Guan branch in the nearby state office.
This trip will take at least half a month to return.
By then, the two shops had already been handed over, and the new townspeople had forgotten about Guli…
When it got dark, Li Zhensheng, Li Laoer, and Mr. Wen returned to the city.
Just as dinner was served at home, the pickled mustard greens in a large pottery jar are now perfect to eat.
Pick out a few and slice them, then kill two large geese, simmering for most of an hour, the aroma will fill the entire yard.
When it was placed in the white porcelain basin and put in the middle of the table, steaming hot, everyone, men, women and children, smiled with delight.
Li Laotai led Wen Fuzi, Tao Hongying, Wan'er, and Wenjuan. Jia Yin brought three children to set up a table on the kang in the room.
As for the young masters, they were having their meal in the main hall.
Such good food, of course, calls for some drinks...eeper was enthusiastically arranging, "General, whatever you buy today, I'll give you a 10% discount! Our family also came from the north. On the way, we were chased by barbarians. My mother couldn't...
