"You see, what's the use? Tell your little Zhang to get out." the man said viciously, "I'm in debt!"
"Xiao Zhang is not here." the man smiled with his face. He looked. A group of people had gathered outside to watch the excitement, which was even more embarrassing. "Why don't you go into the back and have a cup of tea? It's still open to business. It's really not good to say these here."
"Drink tea? OK, drink tea!" the man's eyelids tilted and swept the onlookers outside, "don't say we don't give you face."
"Yes," the man nodded.
Just as he was about to take these people in, a man came out from the inside. The man saw that it was his own shopkeeper. He hurried over and told the story. The shopkeeper first frowned, then hugged his fist and said to the people, "everyone, since he asked for a debt from Xiao Zhang, he wanted to find himself. What's the matter when he found the store?"
"If others can't find it, they will naturally come to the store to find it!" the man glanced up and down at the shopkeeper, "otherwise where can I ask for money?"
"Where's Xiao Zhang?" the shopkeeper frowned at the man.
"He didn't come yesterday and didn't see anyone in the morning." the man scratched his head in embarrassment. "I don't know where Xiao Zhang went."
After Yi Rong, Xiao Jin mingled with the busy crowd and looked coldly at the farce in the rice shop.
Xiao Ziya is the most careful person. If he wants to open a rice store here to hide people's eyes and ears, it will not happen overnight, but he has already bought it here. So the shop staff will invite two or three people in the neighborhood to confuse others. Xiao Jin checked that this rice store has been open for five years. It has a good reputation and business on weekdays. The car and horse shop behind has also opened for three years, and there is an endless stream of cars and horses.
He called Huajin hall that day, so he made a game with Huajin hall and led a waiter from Wangji rice store to play money in the gambling house.
That guy is also very honest on weekdays. He doesn't know the twists and turns in the gambling house. He is abducted and loses again and again. He loses again and again by borrowing money. He not only loses completely, but also owes a lot of debt.
The guy didn't disappear for nothing, but was put in a sack and thrown into the corner on the way back after delivering goods yesterday.
If the shopkeeper hadn't come out in time, the ruffian Yi Rong from Huajin hall would have gone to the back to explore.
It seems that the shopkeeper is Xiao Ziya's man.
"Pay back the money or not?" Huajin hall started to make trouble. "I care where you people go? People are in your shop. Now I can't find a shadow. I'm looking for trouble in your shop. Either you give me the money, or I'll take someone to smash your shop and take your goods to offset the debt!"
"He was in debt, but you came to smash the shop. What's the reason?" the shopkeeper scolded, "you go quickly. If you don't go, I'll report to the official!"
"Ouch, how dare you report to the government? I think you don't want to do business!" Huajin hall learned the local ruffian's tone completely. "There are dozens of our brothers. How many can the government catch? Catch me today and there will be brothers coming tomorrow. Don't want to sell half or two meters in your shop. If you don't believe it, let's gamble today. If you can sell something, I'll lose!"
The shopkeeper's frown can kill flies. Their biggest fear of opening a shop is to provoke such local ruffians and scoundrels. If they are stuck, they can't be thrown away like a dog's skin plaster.
He has been in the capital for many years. He knows that people in this winning gambling house are not easy to mess with.
Moreover, the shops need to open normally. So many things in the yard need to be transported in and out, which is covered by the cart transporting rice grain. If you are really blocked by these hooligans, business doesn't matter. What about things?
While he was still hesitating, huajintang had rolled up his sleeves and asked people to start smashing things. While smashing, he scolded, "Give it back to me! Don't you know I'm scared? The government? If I'm afraid of the government, I won't do this business! What's the matter with me? As long as I don't kill people, the government will shut me down for a few days at most. You'll come to your house to block the door every day when I come out! See if you can afford it or I can afford it! Smash it!"
"Don't smash, don't smash!" the shopkeeper looked worried and hurried up until he begged, "it's mine, isn't it? I'm wrong."
He stopped the people who smashed things here. Huajin hall looked at the open door leading to the yard and sneered, "I'll go and pee in your granary and see who dares to eat your rice!"
Then he rushed directly through the door into the backyard.
The backyard is very big. The East-West walkways are full of things. They are covered with tarpaulins. You can't see what's inside.
When the shopkeeper saw Huajin hall jump into the backyard, he was shocked. He picked up his clothes and was ready to go in. But his arm was grabbed by several local ruffians. "What are you going to do? Go? Escape? Don't advise. Didn't you just call the government? Call! Run!"
They entangled the shopkeeper. Huajin hall rushed directly to the warehouse door at this time. The warehouse was locked. Before Huajin hall smashed the lock, several big men rushed out of another room.
One of them rushed over and punched Huajin hall with his head. Huajin hall ducked, "ha! It's beating people!" he shouted at the top of his voice, "it's the opposite! It's better to be in debt than to be in debt these days!" he shouted wildly inside, and the more people watching the excitement outside want to rush in and see what's going on.
When the opportunity came, Xiao Jin was shocked. "Go and see the excitement. What's going on?" he shouted in the crowd, and then several good-looking and lively people crowded in.
Xiao Jin put her inner strength secretly and pushed the two people in directly.
The shopkeeper was stumbling by the people in the gambling house and couldn't stop him. He could only watch the onlookers run in.
The Huajin hall inside dodged a punch and started running around the goods stacked in the yard. While running, he scolded, "what's your name, son of a bitch? Dare you report your name? Grandpa will write down your name first today. Someone will fight you someday. You don't even know your parents!"
As he ran around, he secretly touched several handfuls of goods covered with tarpaulins.
His embarrassed appearance caused a burst of laughter among the crowd who came to see the excitement.
The shopkeeper was so anxious that he almost vomited blood. He secretly used his kung fu. Then he shook away several local ruffians who were entangled with him, separated the crowd and rushed into the backyard, "stop making trouble! I'm afraid of you! I'll take the money for Xiao Zhang first!" he was angry and defeated.
