Chapter 91 Awe-inspiring Righteousness
"Ha! A treacherous and black-hearted thing like you is not qualified to say such things!" Su Changxi stepped forward in a strange manner and stood next to Su Changfu.
Seeing their posture, Sang Rong knew that today's matter was not simple. He immediately told Sang Xingchang: "Go to the horsemen and ask more people to come over."
Hearing this, Shen Yi warned Su Tai in her ear and left secretly.
After a while, Ma Yuanwai really showed up with a group of thugs. When he saw Su Changfu, his brows suddenly knitted together, "Chief Su, why do you always have trouble with us? We didn't care about what happened at the beginning, but you still have to push your limits. "
"Except for Ma Yuan, what you said is really funny! Why can't we get along with you? Everyone can do business, as long as they don't steal or rob, and they are aboveboard, what's the problem? The town sells fabrics and eats, and there are more than one inn. , why didn’t they cause so much trouble? And we were just setting up our stall today, but Sang Yong came here out of nowhere to make trouble.
Isn’t it inappropriate for you to confuse right and wrong indiscriminately? how? Are you bringing these people here now to take action? Don’t think we don’t dare to make things big! After all, the largest official in Zhaohua County is still in the county government office! " Su Changfu reminded in a subtle way, which was also a warning.
Ma Yuanwai knew that Dongmen Village had a name in front of the county magistrate, but now it was hard to take the initiative, so he asked the thugs to surround Shen Yi's stall, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su misunderstood , I’m doing this for everyone’s benefit, don’t worry, our people are all reasonable!”
When Su Chunlin saw it, he immediately went over with other villagers and surrounded Sang Xingchang's stall. "We reciprocate politely and understand etiquette better."
Ma Yuanwai's face darkened instantly, he glanced at Su Chunlin and the others, and laughed ferociously, "It seems that Township Chief Su is going to fight us to the end today! In that case, I will just accompany you! But in the future, you people from Dongmen Village will come to town. That’s not the case with buying and selling.”
"Nothing like that?" Zhao Tiechui's face was ashen, and the man in the same scholar's shirt walked over, followed by Shen Yi.
Shen Yi nodded towards Su Tai and silently returned to her side.
Ma Yuanwai snorted dissatisfiedly, "This is our private matter, you don't need to interfere!"
"Except for Ma Yuan, the entire Moshi Town is my territory. I can manage it however I want. If anyone dares to cause trouble in my territory, I will punish them severely! No matter who it is!" Liu Tiechui's sharp gaze swept over everyone. , and didn’t give Ma Yuan any face at all.
Ma Yuanwai's face turned red with anger, "What? Do you still want to catch me? I'm your father-in-law!"
"Horse wealth!" Liu Tiechui yelled at the top of his voice, "Don't you understand the principle of extinguishing relatives for justice? Who gave you the courage to bully others with your power? Don't think that your wealth means you can be lawless! After all, you are just a landowner! You can't get around the laws of the country. ! If you really get into trouble, I will never bend the law to protect you!"
Ma Rencai was so angry that he held his chest and couldn't say a word.
Liu Tiechui still had a cold face, turned around and bowed to the man in Confucian shirt next to him: "Mr. Lu, I wanted to entertain you well today, but I didn't expect that I would let you watch a farce. It was the dereliction of duty by this subordinate official that made you laugh."
Lu Tong waved his hand with a gentle expression, "Zhenguan Liu is very righteous. Having an official like you in Moshi Town is a blessing to the people. However, in the bright world, there are such bullies in the local area. We cannot tolerate him or give him mercy lightly!"
Liu Tiechui's face turned serious, and his expression became more and more respectful, "My lord, what you said is absolutely true. I will definitely investigate and deal with it strictly."
Lu Tong nodded with satisfaction and walked to Shen Yi's fireworks stall.
Ma Rencai's thugs subconsciously retreated far away, wishing they could shrink into a corner where no one would notice.
Lu Tong seemed unaware and pointed at the fireworks barrel curiously, "Are these the fireworks set off by Shopkeeper Li of Jixiang Inn in Dahe Town?"
"Exactly! Shopkeeper Li bought two that day, just in time for his wife's birthday. He put one out that night, and everyone in the town saw it." Shen Yi explained in detail what happened that night.
Lu Tong's smile deepened a little, "Since that's the case, I'll buy two and join in the fun."
Liu Tiechui immediately stepped forward to take the two fireworks buckets and paid for Lu Tong on the way, otherwise Lu Tong would spend his money.
Shen Yifu was sincere and sent a few more fireworks and strings of firecrackers.
Lu Tong didn't say anything, he just looked at the people around him and smiled gently, "You can do whatever you want, I won't take up a position here." As soon as Lu Tong left, the people who had not bought firecrackers immediately rushed to After passing by, I was even more excited than before.
Su Chunlin and others ignored the other party's stall and hurried back to help.
Shen Yi squeezed out of the crowd and thanked Lu Tong and Liu Tiechui.
Lu Tong asked, "I came to see Liu Zhenguan today to find out where the fish is sold. I heard that Liu Zhenguan bought his fish from you?"
Shen Yi nodded, "Exactly, sir, what do you want?"
Lu Tong nodded, "In the first month of the year, I need some fish to entertain guests at home. It's better to be bigger and look good on the table. Do you have any here?"
Liu Tiechui kept winking at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi lowered his eyes and said: "The common people will go and catch them when they get back, and the big ones will be left for adults to choose from."
"Then we will wait for your good news." Liu Tiechui responded quickly, turned to look at Lu Tong, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely handle this small matter for you, I promise. It will delay your business."
"Hahaha you! You really have a delicate heart with seven orifices!" Lu Tong smiled happily.
After Shen Yi said goodbye to them, he returned to the fireworks stall.
At this time, the group of people outside the horse crew had gone somewhere.
Sang Yong stood opposite, staring at him fiercely with scarlet eyes.
Sang Xingchang and Sang Xingwang were packing their things with their heads down, apparently not planning to continue setting up a stall.
Shen Yi was not afraid at all, and after paying attention for a moment, he felt relieved when he saw that Sang Yong's group could only be incompetent and furious, not daring to make any move.
Su Tai took the time to ask in a low voice: "Who is Mr. Lu just now?"
Shen Yi whispered in her ear: "The county magistrate is in charge of the county's money, food, taxes, and household registration. When Liu Zhenguan goes to the county government to handle affairs, the person he has the most contact with is the county magistrate. Don't serve him diligently. Master Lu just asked me If you want fish, you have to ask your wife to get more big fish later.”
"Easy to say!" Su Tai replied without any hesitation.
The two smiled at each other and continued selling fireworks.
With Lu Tong just patronizing him, the people didn't take Sang Yong's rumors to heart at all. Instead, they bought more and more enthusiastically. Almost everyone wanted two or three strings of fireworks or three or four firecrackers.
Su Tai was merciless in collecting money.
Everyone was busy until noon before they slowed down.
Seeing that everyone's noses were red from the cold, Shen Yi hurriedly invited him and the others to a tea shop to rest, bought them hot steamed buns, and gave each of them two skewers of firecrackers.
"Thanks to all my uncles and brothers for your help today, feel free to tell me if there is any use for me in Dongmen Village in the future."
