Chapter 838: Fraud is Dangerous Outside the City (Part 3)
"What are you doing, what are you doing?"
One of the women who had bought pepper at the beginning of the siege looked at her surroundings and shouted.
"Don't worry, if you don't move, it won't hurt you, report to the official, wait for the government to come and see if the pepper you sell is adulterated."
Li Yi stood up and spoke in a calm tone.
"Where is the adulteration? Everyone was watching it just now. If you make false accusations, you will sit back. The woman shouted again.
"You're the one who sells? Just saw you bought it. Someone next to him seemed to understand something, and was furious.
"Quick, tell the person who bought it, get it back, fake."
"I said how can it be so cheap, huh!"
"guys, bring something, dare to run errands and interrupt."
A group of people were staring, and some were running to report and get weapons.
The twelve people who were surrounded were obviously afraid, and they knew what they had done.
They are afraid of seeing officials, and they are even more afraid of being beaten before seeing officials, and they have no sense of proportion, what should they do if they are beaten to death?
They wanted to run, and what they saw was a standard knife, and the people around them had the same knife.
All of a sudden, another group of people came, dressed in all kinds of Hu people's clothes, but the knives they were holding were still the same horizontal knives.
Li Yi looked at the expressions of the twelve people, walked over, and Guo Ziyi followed.
With him, Li Yi's safety is no problem, he can put down all the other party by himself.
Li Yi came to an unopened bag, opened the bag, reached in, and shook it again, revealing a large paper bag.
Wrapped in raw edge paper, because raw edge paper is also used when selling, everyone does not pay much attention to the raw edge paper that has occasionally been seen before.
Now that a paper bag is exposed, does it need to be said?
Li Yi picked a hole with his hand, stretched out his fingers and pinched some powder, and put it in his mouth to taste.
"Phew!" He spit out: "Now there is a solution, I don't let you see the official, I will compensate for the money that others bought, you tell me, is there any powder that has not been ground into powder?" ”
"How? What if you don't? A strong-looking human terrier asked.
"Yes, sell it to me, I buy it for the price of pepper, and everything is written off. No, Official! Li Yi drew down.
"Who are you, you call the shots for us? On what basis do you write it off? I still want to fight, I bought fifty dollars, I want to sell a little. ”
There is a person who has just rushed over who does not agree, he wants to buy a cheap one, and then sell a large part of it to make money.
"He's with me." Princess Yongmu helped to speak, her eyes were bright, Li Lang was really powerful, and he really had a big paper bag.
"Huh? Little lady, you ...... Do you have a master? A young man next to him looked sad.
"I don't have a master and I can't look down on you, what do you want?" The neighbor went over and patted the young man on the head.
More and more people are running over with forks, sticks, and the pepper they bought before.
"Yes or no?" Li Yi asked the twelve people again.
"Is something valuable? I want to triple the price of pepper. "The pepper sellers rolled their eyes and raised the price.
"It seems that there is, half the price of pepper, I want it all." Li Yi was satisfied and lowered the price.
"Twice as much." The other party was nervous.
"The price of pepper." Li Yi lowered the price again.
"According to what I just said, the price of pepper, yes, there are a lot of them." The other side compromises.
Li Yi shook his head: "Half of the price of pepper, sell it or not?" What is the law of selling fakes?
Oh, it is the genus of all the things used in the manufacture of vessels, and of the silk silks, and there are those who sell them indiscriminately, and those who sell them in a short and narrow way, and each of them has sixty rods. Even those who use soft iron to make horizontal knives and arrows are also indiscriminate.....
Those who gain heavy profits are counted as profits, and quasi-theft is discussed. Traffickers, too......"
Li Yi memorized the content of Tang Lu's discussion and told the other party how big the crime was.
Counterpart...... I didn't understand, anyway, I think the problem is very serious.
Xiaolan spoke up: "It's to tell you that the seller of fakes will hit the back with a big stick sixty times and beat him to death."
If you make a lot of money, even if you steal it, you will be exiled at the lightest, and if it is heavy, you will have your head cut off.
Those who are responsible for counterfeiting are counted, and those who sell are also counted, and you are even more counted as partners in deception. ”
"Here you go, here you go, no money, you let us go, wow~~!" The woman sat on the ground and began to weep.
Princess Yongmu's neighbors looked at Li Yi differently, they were knowledgeable.
"Who? Who? Which sells fakes? "The official is here.
"It's over~~" The woman cried even more, people came, it was too late, it was not okay to give it for nothing, she would be beaten, she would be killed.
"Did you grind the noodles? Check it out. If it's good, you don't have to worry about anything else.
Ladies and gentlemen, I will compensate you for your losses, and you will be rewarded with a thin face, so don't pursue it.
I need something from him, it's important, and it's good for everyone in the future. ”
Li Yi clenched his fists to the neighbors.
"Who do you think you are? You said you wouldn't pursue it...... Brothers, what are we doing here? ”
The leading official walked up to Li Yi as he spoke, and when he saw Li Yi's appearance, he turned his head and asked.
"Someone lost a chicken, and we came looking for it."
"Yes, lose two, but it's a shame, the hen that lays the eggs."
"Let's go find it, don't delay."
"Let's go, let's go."
A group of officials ran away as they spoke, and went to do business, looking for chickens.
"How?" Li Yi asked twelve more people.
They looked at the distant servants, and then at Li Yi, and realized it, what else could they do? To give.
"It's noon, go to dinner first, and then go back and arrange for someone to pick it up with you, these things...... One hundred taels bought. ”
Li Yi looked at the bags one by one, the real pepper in them was about a hundred yuan, and the fake ones were not paid.
Turning his head, he said to the other neighbors, "That's all there is to it, and if you buy as much pepper as you want, you will give it to you." ”
"What's going to eat at noon today?" Li Yi asked Princess Yongmu when the neighbors were happy.
Princess Yongmu shook her head: "I don't know, it's a stir-fry, I actually want to drink mutton soup." ”
"You see the pepper and want to drink mutton soup, you go to my house, tell the family, send the mutton soup, you count how many people, there is soup boiling at home."
Li Yi pointed to a guard and asked the other party to go.
The other party didn't say a word, found a horse and went to run to the Li family Zhuangzi.
"Everyone, let's drink mutton soup, I'll bring a few packets of pepper, and you can share the rest." Li Yi squatted down to wrap pepper in an origami bag.
"You take one bag, and we'll have enough leftover."
"By the way, does the official know you?"
"No, the officials are afraid of you, who are you?"
"Confidential, I'll take a pocket. Let's go the twelve, go in and drink the mutton soup, and tell me what's going on.
Knowing that there was a problem when you bought the goods, and you didn't want to lose money, I thought about such a solution, which is quite calculating. ”
Li Yi picked up a bag and said to the person selling the fakes.
If the other party sells at a lower price than normal, he promises to let the official arrest the person, and he will beat him when he should be beaten.
The price of the other party is actually the normal price of the pepper sold, which is easy to sell and ships quickly.
Otherwise, you have to press the goods, obviously the other party urgently needs money to turnover.
Twelve men followed honestly, not daring to resist anything.
They thought they would be fine if they didn't go into the city, but they thought it would be more dangerous outside the city.
