Chapter 112 Hypocritical
When the people present heard this, they quickly echoed and cursed angrily.
"These are rotten-hearted people."
"So heartless."
"Lack of great virtue!"
If the Baijiabao caravan members are angry and leave Qingzhou, then who will collect the crayfish?
Those who were exposed were also puzzled. How could the people in the Baijiapu caravan know that the goods were wrong just by putting the big sack on the scale?
Could it be that someone happened to see him when he was doing something strange?
If the people in Peach Blossom Village knew about these people's struggles, they would definitely say coldly: Just kidding, what our aunt gave us is specifically to treat those of you who lack great virtue.
There are also gangsters and gangsters in Qingzhou City who want to collect protection fees. They claim that the Baijiabao caravan has occupied their place and they have to pay maintenance fees.
When Bai Dashan heard this, he immediately said: "In this case, let's go."
After that, he whispered again: "I have almost harvested in the past three or four days, and I was worried about making excuses. Now that I have someone to help me escape, it couldn't be better."
When these scoundrels and scoundrels heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded. This was different from the script they used to collect maintenance fees.
Ordinary ordinary people will beg and beg, or refuse to obey, but caravans and trading houses will inquire and then find middlemen to make peace, in order to pay less maintenance fees.
Why did he react like this when he arrived at Baijiabao Caravan?
Could it be that your price is too high?
But the other party didn't ask how much he wanted.
"No, you..."
Bai Dashan didn't care about the dumbfounding of these rogues and gangsters. He turned around and shouted to the team: "I'm sorry, everyone, these people told us that we won't be allowed to collect food here unless we pay for the stalls." Crayfish.”
"It's not easy for our Baijiapu caravan to purchase these grains. We originally had to barter them to the big guys, and we really don't have much money to pay maintenance fees."
"Thank you for your hard work these days, we will not accept it today. We will see you again when we have the opportunity."
After saying this, Bai Dashan signaled the villagers to prepare to close the stall.
And the people who queued up early to exchange for food were immediately dumbfounded, what?
No more?
Someone came to blackmail the Baijiabao caravan, and the people were so scared that they were unwilling to set up a stall to collect crayfish.
How can this work?
In the past three or four days, everyone was collecting crayfish in exchange for food. It was like picking up crayfish for free. Such a good thing was actually messed up.
In the crowd, I don’t know who spoke first: "How can that be done? This is something that benefits everyone. If anyone messes with it, he will not get along with everyone."
"That's right!"
"This is the outskirts of the city. Master Fucheng didn't say anything, so why shouldn't the Baijiabao caravan be allowed to collect crayfish here?"
"The stalls are all owned by caravans. What does it have to do with these gangsters? How can I have the nerve to charge maintenance fees?"
"So shameless!"
"Hit them!"
"Yes, beat them."
"We can't let the Baijiabao caravan feel disappointed."
Apart from the Baijiabao caravan, no one else harvested such insects, so they still harvested them with such good grain.
Bai Dashan heard the familiar voice, his eyes swept over Zhou Yang's family, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he quickly suppressed them again.
These scoundrels and scoundrels didn't even have time to say anything before their expressions changed in fright at the angry shouts.
Then, I don't know who threw a frame first, which happened to cover a gangster's head. Then someone rushed up and started punching him.
It is said that drunkenness makes people cowardly, but so does being in large numbers.
Someone took action, and naturally others followed, and soon the wails and cries of pain from these rogues were heard. Everyone was so angry that we got up before dawn to pick up crayfish, and we almost got into a fight over a nest of crayfish.
We came to line up early, and finally waited for the people from the Baijiapu caravan to arrive. But it hasn't even started yet, and you're here to blackmail us.
Even if you usually blackmail the merchants in the city, you won't let the Baijiabao caravan set up a stall outside the city to collect crayfish.
You scared away the Baijiapu caravan, what should we do? What should we do with the crayfish in our hands? Will you bring us food? !
Bai Dashan and others were standing nearby, as if they didn't expect this scene to happen. They were all stunned. Only their excited eyes betrayed them.
After a while, Bai Dashan gave the villagers a look, and Bai Dayong and others took their time to act like they were trying to stop the fight.
"Hey, folks, folks, you can't do anything."
"It's wrong to hit people, we have to be reasonable."
"Folks, just teach me a little lesson, but don't be cruel."
"Folks..."
There were too many angry people, and although some people kept silent, they would squeeze in and take the opportunity to kick someone.
As a result, by the time everyone dispersed, these scoundrels and scoundrels had been beaten with bruises and swollen faces. Some had broken arms, some had broken legs, and some had two or three broken ribs.
The people who did it were extremely clever. After they dispersed, they got into the crowd in twos and threes, or walked back to the queue.
Others seemed to have not seen this scene, and they all helped to cover it up.
The people do not hold officials accountable, and the law does not punish the public.
What's more, it was these gangsters and scoundrels who came to cause trouble first. The most important thing was that these gangsters were so injured that they couldn't get up. Where could they find someone to beat them up?
"This, this, this..."
Just when Bai Dashan showed that he didn't know what to do, someone in the crowd shouted: "Shopkeepers, don't be afraid, just set up the stall, we will never let you be blackmailed."
"Yes, don't be afraid."
"If there are still people looking for trouble, we will help you find the official..."
Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, although the status of Jin merchants was not particularly lowly, it was indeed slightly lower than that of farmers.
It is easier for farmers to sue than for businessmen to sue.
"This, ah, then, then I would like to thank you all again."
Bai Dashan cupped his hands and said: "In order to thank you all for your rescue, I, Bai, promise that as long as no one troubles our caravan, we will collect these crayfish for a few more days."
When a conflict arises that you feel is difficult to handle, create a bigger conflict and let others resolve it.
This is called transfer of contradiction.
Anyway, my aunt said, with so many people, we probably won’t be able to pick up crayfish for a few days.
The reason why the gangsters and gangsters were beaten was because they disrupted everyone's business. Now that they heard that the Baijiabao caravan would be detained for a few more days, the people present cheered happily.
"Well done to Shopkeeper Bai."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Bai."
"The Baijiapu caravan is indeed a good caravan with a conscience."
Bai Dashan smiled and cupped his hands around him again. He turned to the villagers who had been dawdling for a long time without even putting the weight away and said: "Quick, don't waste your time, let's get started."
There were many interested people in the crowd, and two of them looked at each other and quickly squeezed out of the group.
