Chapter 65: Shenwutang bullies honest people
On this day, a rare farce was staged outside the Shenwu Hall.
There was a young man who had a big quarrel with the staff of Shenwu Hall, and finally even quarreled outside the hall and ran to the street to quarrel, and finally caused both sides to be embarrassed.
No matter what time it is, it is human nature to watch the excitement, and soon there are good people who figure out the identity of young people.
This person's name is Song Zhihuan, he is the younger brother of Song Yan, the owner of Buwu Pavilion, and he is also the shopkeeper of Buwu Pavilion today.
And the root cause of the contradiction between Song Zhihuan and Shenwutang, under the circumstance that someone deliberately added fuel to the fire, was quickly shaken out - Buwuge's martial arts could not get an appraisal certificate, and he couldn't give an appraisal fee if he wanted to.
As soon as these behind-the-scenes information were revealed, public opinion was in an uproar, and Shenwutang became a bully landlord and bully.
This is actually quite ridiculous, because each family is paying tribute to Shenwutang in the name of appraisal fees to prove the legitimacy of their own martial arts, and Buwuge is the first one to act.
The ten martial arts that Buwu Pavilion is now selling have all been "officially appraised" a long time ago, and strictly speaking, it is equivalent to having an official endorsement.
It's just that in practice, each book still needs to be identified, because the content of the subsequent production may not be the same as before - although it is not beneficial for Buwu to do this, there is a real possibility.
But for the public, the idea is much simpler and more straightforward.
The Buwu Pavilion was obviously well appraised before, and they didn't send you any less money to Shenwutang, but now Shenwutang suddenly said that it would not be appraised, isn't this a deliberate attempt to suppress other people's business?
Everyone knows that Shenwutang and Buwuge are now in a competitive relationship, although with the market share occupied by Shenwutang, there is no need to suppress it at all, but how can the people care about this kind of detail?
You say this is a misunderstanding, how can it be interesting for Shenwutang to bully others?
Being both a referee and an athlete will cause widespread disgust in any era, not to mention that Shenwutang was caught off guard this time, but the opponent was calculated or unintentional, and he was ready to guide public opinion for a long time.
So in just one day, "Shenwutang bullying" has become a new hot spot, and most of the upper Kyoto is discussing this matter, and even Buwu Pavilion has rubbed back a lot of heat.
Of course, it is also wishful thinking to regain market share with this.
Countless martial artists scolded the Shenwu Hall with their front feet and shamelessly, and they entered the Shenwu Hall to buy martial arts with their back feet, and the law of true fragrance took effect successfully.
......
Bang!
Wen Yiqi slapped it with a palm, and the mahogany square table in front of him suddenly fell apart.
But the remaining anger of Grandmaster Wen was still puzzled, raised his hand and pointed forward, his fingers were about to poke the nose of the person in front of him: "You guys...... You are simply shameless! These methods of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge have also been used, and the face of the Shenwu Hall has been disgraced by you!"
The person he pointed out was named Li Daming, who was the disciple of Shenwutang who was in charge of the identification of cheats and had a big quarrel with Song Zhihuan.
Li Daming is actually still indignant in his heart, and in this matter, he believes that he is not at fault.
Because there are more and more martial arts cheats that need to be identified, the lack of manpower is not just an excuse - even if it is produced by Shenwutang itself, it is necessary to check whether there are any mistakes or omissions, and sometimes there is a blurred stroke, which may cause a big problem.
In this case, one of his subordinates suggested reducing the workload and suspending the external cheats identification first, and Li Daming agreed without thinking about it.
After all, it is not Shenwutang's obligation to do the appraisal of external cheats, it is just a helpful work, and it is not a complete refusal, just to conduct the appraisal later......
Who's the best place to park outside? Of course, it's Buwu Pavilion!
They have the largest number of families, and they have been so famous before, and the limelight is faintly overshadowing Shenwutang, which has long made many Shenwutang disciples secretly unhappy. If you have the opportunity to rectify it openly, of course you will not let it go.
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, in the face of his own grandmaster, Li Daming didn't dare to show the slightest intention, so he had to bow his head and be taught.
Fortunately, he was not alone in facing Wen Yiqi, this was the scene of the temporary elders' meeting of Shenwu Hall, and Li Daming was only temporarily called over for questioning.
"Okay, the problem of lack of manpower does exist, but Da Ming's handling is indeed too rough, and the impact is very bad...... Ye Shixing opened his mouth next to him to play a round field, the martial arts department was built by him, and Li Daming is of course also a member of his department.
"In this way, Da Ming will suspend his post first, let Buwu Ge send the book over again, and we will conduct the appraisal as usual. Ye Shixing continued, "The follow-up martial arts department will replenish manpower, so how to deal with it like this, what is the idea of hearing the door?"
Ye Shixing's disposition can be regarded as letting go of both ends, canceling the targeting of Buwu Pavilion, but there is no actual punishment for Li Daming, and the suspension can be resumed at any time.
He saw it very clearly, no matter whether this incident was a simple accident or not, as long as Shenwutang maintained the current situation, it was the best way to deal with it, and there was no need to do anything else at all.
Wen Yiqi is not an elder after all, and he is not qualified to criticize the handling of Shenwutang, this time he is really angry, and he has no choice but to salute when he hears the words: "In this way, according to Ye Lao's words." ”
Ye Shixing nodded, and waved his hand to let Li Daming go down, and the scene of the Council of Elders was quiet again.
This elders' meeting was held temporarily, and there were only four elders in attendance, of course, Lu Cheng was among them, plus Wen Yiqi, the grandmaster who was observing, there were only five people in total.
Of course, they are not here to discuss how to deal with Li Daming, how can such a trivial matter require an elders' meeting, but to discuss how to deal with public opinion this time.
What Ye Shixing said before was also the truth, Li Daming's handling did cause a very bad impact on public opinion, especially other newly opened bookstores, and almost everyone was in danger.
Today, Shenwu Hall can cut off the supply of Buwu Pavilion, and tomorrow, of course, it can also cut off theirs. Only then did everyone realize that the martial arts appraisal that was not taken very seriously turned out to be a deadly rope around the neck.
After all, if the martial arts sold are not certified by the Shenwu Hall, once the martial artist has a problem with his practice, it is normal to question the martial arts - will someone think that he is not good? Normal people will find a dump object.
Several elders discussed it and found that their views on this matter were actually quite consistent, that is, Shenwutang could not do such a thing again.
It doesn't matter at all that little silver is a little bit of silver, the important thing is that if this kind of thing spreads, it will be a huge damage to the reputation of Shenwutang, and even Ye Shixing, who is directly in charge of the martial arts department, doesn't want to touch this dirty money.
"We have to make a statement about this matter as soon as possible, and it is best to let Buwu Pavilion also come forward, and it is good to talk about the misunderstanding, and we can give Buwu Pavilion some compensation in private. Ye Shixing said, "I heard that the master of the sect is more familiar with Song Hongwen, why don't you invite him over?"
Wen Yiqi opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but finally acquiesced.
He really didn't want to be this wicked person, first "bullied" Song Yan, and then asked them to come forward to help clarify the misunderstanding...... No matter how you look at it, this thing seems very inauthentic.
But Wen Yiqi had to admit that Shenwutang was qualified to do such a thing, and even in the eyes of many people, this was taken for granted - everyone else Shenwutang was willing to compensate you, what else?
However, the world is so wonderful, just when Wen Yiqi was about to acquiesce, Li Daming, who was just right, knocked on the door again, and then hurriedly walked into the venue, with a rare panic on his face.
"Old Ye, there's an accident over there in Buwu Pavilion!"
