Chapter 900 Conflict
"Let's go and take a look at the scene with me. No matter what, I have to protect the husband-in-law's property. If such a big thing happens, I will have to give an explanation to the husband-in-law."< br>
Ju Wendou and Chimu Haiya looked bitter.
explain?
You set fire to Fang Jun’s wool, and you also robbed someone else’s grape wine business, and you gave me a shitty explanation!
This move by Guo Xiaoke made both Ju Wendou and Akagi Hague feel afraid.
They welcome Fang Jun and are willing to do business with Fang Jun because they follow the rules and handle business matters according to the rules of the business place. Whoever suffers will take advantage, and it is important to be willing to fight and suffer. The money is placed here, and everyone will earn. If you don't like it, you can quit, and there will be someone who doesn't dislike you to replace you.
But Guo Xiaoke is different.
This is obviously bureaucracy. I have a strong fist when I have power, and I will grab whatever I like...
Guo Xiaoke dared to attack Fang Jun's property, so how could he care about these Hu merchants from the Western Regions?
The two people, with green faces and white lips, followed Guo Xiaoke cautiously to the Fang family's workshop outside the city.
From a distance, I saw a thick black column of smoke rising straight into the sky, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to dim.
When I got closer, I saw that several large warehouses where wool was originally stored were burning with raging fires. The flames rolled up and sent out thick black smoke. The flames were raging and were sweeping in the houses near the warehouses.
No one was putting out the fire, and there was a confrontation between two parties in the open space in front of the warehouse.
One party is a gray-faced person, obviously the craftsmen and laborers in the workshop, while the other party is a soldier with bright armor...
There was an old man among the craftsmen whose face was red with excitement: "Everyone is suddenly on fire. You are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Why don't you help us put out the fire? Why do you hinder us from putting out the fire? Are you the sons of the Tang Dynasty? People, or beasts of foreign countries? ”
Several soldiers were scolded by the old man until their faces turned red.
If we go back to China, soldiers and craftsmen are two completely different classes. If you dare to roar like this, regardless of right or wrong, I will give you a good beating first. But this is the Western Region, a place of barbarians. The people of the Tang Dynasty here naturally have to stick together and unite with each other. If one person is in trouble, all directions will support him, and this will show the love and unity of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, the warehouse stocked with tens of thousands of wool is burning with fire?
But not only can they not put out the fire themselves, they also have to stop the craftsmen in the workshop from putting out the fire!
There is no way, this is a military order...
When Guo Xiaoke arrived, he happened to see the old craftsman aggressively reprimanding the soldiers in front of him. The leader of the soldiers was scolded by the old craftsman until he was speechless. His face was full of embarrassment and shame, and he stepped back step by step.
Guo Xiaoke was furious, walked closer, drew out the horizontal knife from his waist, and slashed it down.
The light of the sword flashed, and the old craftsman didn't even scream, but his head was in a different place and he fell to the ground...
The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone was stunned by this scene.
There is only the sound of burning wool in the large warehouse behind, and the nauseating smell...
Guo Xiaoke angrily scolded: "You are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty, but you gathered together to cause trouble and openly disobeyed military orders. Do you want to rebel? Come here, bring all these people to my officer and interrogate them strictly to see if they are Turks." The barbarians planted here are trying to overthrow the Anxi Protectorate! ”
The craftsmen in Fangjia Workshop almost couldn't believe their ears. Everyone looked at the corpse of the old craftsman in front of them, and everyone was filled with indignation and anger!
And instead of dying in the hands of barbarians, we died under the sword of our own people?
"General Manager Guo, this workshop is the property of the Fang family, and we are all slaves of the Fang family. We are not convinced by your blatant accusations!"
"That's right, why do you kill people casually?"
"Kill to pay with life, blood to pay with blood!"
"Just wait. When my second son finds out about this, he will settle the score with you sooner or later!"
The craftsmen of the Fang family are really not afraid of Guo Xiaoke, even if someone is killed by Guo Xiaoke's knife right in front of them!
Is the Fang family an ordinary family?
The head of the family, Duke Xuanling, was the prime minister of the current dynasty, the emperor's minister, and the holy family member was prosperous! Erlang is a marquis, the emperor's son-in-law, and a general manager!
Who do you think you are, Guo Xiaoke, how dare you provoke the Fang family like this?
Hearing Fang Jun's name, Guo Xiaoke's eyelids jumped, and he had to put down his original intention of killing all these craftsmen. He had also heard of Fang Jun's reputation as a stick. He would go crazy and even dare to beat the prince. If he made him anxious, it would be difficult to deal with it.
Just give him a face, only touch his property, don't kill his people!
Guo Xiaoke ignored these unyielding ones, and turned around and ordered the soldiers around him: "This fire is burning strangely. This place is the property of the prince's consort, and I cannot turn a blind eye. I will quickly search the surrounding area and take all suspects into custody." Guard, be sure to find out the truth about the burning house!”
"No!"
The soldiers who had already received the instructions loudly agreed, and then rushed straight to the brewing workshop not far from the wool warehouse.
Ju Wendou and Akagi Haiya are both scheming people. Looking at this posture, it was obvious that the editor Guo Xiaoke had already planned it. Now he went straight to the brewing workshop. I think it was because of the reminders from the two of them just now that Guo Xiaoke was greedy for and Fang Jun’s secret brewing recipe, and wanted to get the secret recipe in his hands in one fell swoop!
It didn't matter to them.
Founder Guo Xiaoke has thick arms and big fists, and they can't resist. If Guo Xiaoke can hold the secret recipe of brewing in his hands, even cooperating with him is not a bad idea...
The fire in the wool warehouse had already frightened the craftsmen in the brewery. They wanted to go out to put out the fire, but were blocked by a group of soldiers and were not allowed to go out. Not long after, another group of soldiers rushed into the brewery, rampaged and beat everyone they saw.
The steward of the workshop stood up and asked sternly: "This is the property of the Fang family. Why are you so cruel and barbaric? Are you even willing to die?"
People in the Fang family now have the confidence to say such things, whether they are within the Tang Dynasty or outside the country.
But the officer in front of him said with a sinister smile on his face: "This is not a small tone. This is Xizhou, under the rule of the Anxi Protector. Our Chief Guo is the King of Heaven. Your Fang family is nothing! Just stand aside obediently. , I won’t give you a hard time. If you dare to speak rudely again, believe it or not, I will chop you with a knife?”
As he spoke, he pulled out the horizontal knife and placed the sharp blade on the steward's neck, which frightened the steward so much that his hair trembled and his face turned pale.
"Search for me!"
The officer shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him rushed into the workshop, rummaging around and searching.
The person in charge just thought about it for a moment and understood.
It's just a brewery. What's there to search for? Moreover, looking at the arrogant and unreasonable manner of these people, the things they are searching for must be extremely valuable.
What is the most precious thing in the winery?
Not the wine in the warehouse, nor the grapes used to make wine, but... the secret recipe!
The person in charge immediately became anxious!
He is a son of the Fang family, and it was Fang Jun who personally promoted him to this position, taking care of the winery's property. What Fang Jun values is not his talent, but his loyalty and reliability!
If he allowed the secret recipe to be leaked, how could he have the dignity to return to the Fang family?
What will happen to the family members who stay in the Fang family?
Thinking of this, the steward's heart suddenly trembled, and he suddenly shouted: "I will smash all the filtrate, and not even a jar can be left!"
He didn't have the secret recipe, but he knew that the reason why the grape wine produced by Fangjia Winery was of first-class quality and unparalleled in the world was the filtrate shipped from Guanzhong! As long as these filtrate are processed, no matter how sour the wine is, it will become the best wine!
What if these people find out the secret recipe from the filtrate?
Those in charge don’t dare to take this risk!
So even if it means death, he must stop it!
He was not the only one who was loyal. Immediately, a dozen young and strong handymen turned over and rushed to the warehouse in the backyard.
The officer didn't know what the filtrate was, but when he saw the steward being so nervous, he immediately shouted: "Stop them, stop them!"
The soldiers quickly chased after him.
However, half of the young and strong people closed the door of the warehouse where the filtrate was stored and held it against the door to prevent the soldiers from rushing in. The other half picked up sticks and hard objects and stacked them layer by layer in the warehouse. The filtrate jar was smashed!
"Bang bang bang bang"
The stall was smashed and the filtrate flowed all over the floor.
There is little clay soil in the Western Region, which is mostly sandy soil. The floor of the warehouse is only slightly smoothed, not even paved with green bricks. When the filtrate is poured out, it quickly seeps into the sand and disappears.
The officer gestured with the knife, but he did not dare to kill the steward. Instead, he hit the steward on the forehead with the back of the knife. The steward's forehead was suddenly knocked open, bleeding profusely, and he fell to the ground with a wailing sound.
When the soldiers finally pushed open the door of the warehouse and saw the fragments of the porcelain altar everywhere in the warehouse, they became furious! He also guessed that these things must be very important. How could he not be angry when he saw all the credit he had obtained just go away?
"Hit! Beat me hard!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately let go and beat the craftsmen and laborers of the winery severely, wailing and lying on the ground.
Guo Xiaoke suddenly became livid when he heard that the secret recipe had not been found and the raw materials for making wine had been destroyed.
After all, he still didn't dare to take things too far. It would be okay if he could find out the secret recipe while taking advantage of the chaos, but since he didn't get it, he didn't dare to detain the manager and torture him to extract a confession.
Do you really think Fang Xuanling is a jobber?
Guo Xiaoke had a dark face and waved his hand: "This fire was caused by labor errors in the wool workshop. The fire is too big and cannot be extinguished. Please evacuate!"
Leaving behind thick smoke and fire and wailing craftsmen and laborers everywhere, Guo Xiaoke walked away with his soldiers.
Ju Wendou and Chimu Haiya looked at each other and sighed together.
It would be great if we could get the secret recipe, the quality of the wine would be guaranteed, the sales would not be too bad, and it wouldn't hurt to cooperate with Guo Xiaoke.
But now the secret recipe is not available...
That would be difficult.
Without qualified wine, a sharp drop in sales is inevitable, which means that the income from grape wine will be greatly reduced.
Those are all golden copper coins. Who wouldn't feel sad if they were lost in vain?
But Guo Xiaoke dominates the Western Regions, who dares to resist?
Both of them smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.
It is said that Fang Jun is a stick, but Manager Guo is more powerful than Fang Jun... (End of Chapter)
