The Tian family hates the Hong family, but the Hong family's backstage is too hard, and with the strength of the Tian family, it is impossible to shake the current position of the Hong family, let alone compete with the Hong family.

The three rice shops closed the door, the guys had nothing to do, Tian Buren was not a good man and a woman, so he naturally would not raise these twenty or thirty shopkeepers in vain, but at this time, if this group of people was driven away, I was afraid that this reputation would spread out, and it would be difficult to mix in Xichun County in the future.

Although the order was handed down not to be private, but people died for money, birds died for food, although most of the grain was sold to Dahong Rice Store because of the order of the county government, but there was a lot of grain left, seeing the gold-like precious grain piled up in the warehouse, this Tian Buren naturally had to take risks.

Starve the timid to death and support the bold, these years, you have to take risks to get rich.

Today's market price, that is a penny of grain, compared with the original normal price, that is more than 100 times higher, even if the grain is sold secretly at a discount of 20%, then selling a pound of grain is equivalent to selling ** ten catties before, the profit is huge, which is completely worth the risk.

This thing was done secretly, that is, I would rather sell less than scare the snakes, so in a few days, although the grain was not sold much, but I was not caught.

But today it's a little weird.

According to usual, at this time, one or two of the dozen or so people sent out should also come back at this time, but now that it is almost noon, no one has returned.

An extremely strange feeling rose in Tian Buren's heart, and he was a little uneasy.

If this is caught, the matter can be big or small, if someone really uses this matter to borrow the topic, the Tian family will not be able to deal with it.

He was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, his face was full of uneasiness, and a concubine saw that he was upset, and came up to curry favor, but he was also scolded by him, and after waiting for a long time, someone came to say: "Tian San's shopkeeper is back!" ”

Tian Buren breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could say much, the subordinate had already continued: "Three shopkeepers...... The third shopkeeper was seriously injured ......! ”

Tian Buren's face sank, and he exclaimed, "What? Seriously injured? What's going on? As soon as his words fell, Tian Laosan's weak voice sounded: "Uncle, you want to avenge me...... Uncle......! ”

A few people came out from the side, it was Xiao Mu who caressed Tian Laosan over, and Han Mo followed behind.

Tian Buren was taken aback when he saw that Tian Laosan's blue nose and swollen face were not in a human shape, and his body was even more bloodstained, he took two steps forward, looked up and down, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" Who did this to you? ”

"Dahong Rice Shop!" Tian Laosan said weakly: "More than a dozen of them beat me, and without saying a word, they just beat me to death...... ”

Tian Buren asked eagerly, "Did they recognize you?" ”

"I didn't say anything." Tian Laosan said: "When they saw me, they forced me into an alley, which was punching and kicking...... Fortunately, these two passers-by saw me and hired a car to take me back...... Uncle, you have to call the shots for me......! ”

Tian Buren looked at Xiao Mu and Han Mo, in his eyes, they were just two ordinary people, and he didn't look at it much, but with a calm face, he asked, "Let me ask you, did they recognize you?" Do you know what you do? ”

Tian Laosan could only say: "My face, they are familiar with it, they recognize ......!" ”

Tian Buren frowned, did not speak immediately, but thoughtfully, and after a while, he had a cold face and said hatefully: "The Hong family really regards itself as the master of Xichun County now, since they recognize you and dare to do something to you, it really doesn't take my Tian family seriously." The so-called beating of dogs depends on the owner, and if they beat you like this, that is ...... not taking my Tian Buren seriously! ”

What he said was not good, it was treating Tian Laosan as a dog, although Tian Laosan didn't like it, but he didn't dare to say anything, just said: "Yes, uncle, hitting me is slapping your face, let's ...... We can't teach them to bully ...... like that! ”

Tian Buren paced back and forth, muttering to himself, "I can't allow them to bully people like this...... They can't afford to bully people like this......! After a while, he stopped his steps and said hatefully: "Now that the matter is over, I can only prepare a generous gift and go to the eldest master." We pay money to the He family every year, and now the eldest lord must preside over justice...... ”

When Han Mo heard this, he sneered in his heart: "I'm afraid this guy is just confused." The backstage of the Hong family is Situ Jing, if there is no permission from He Xuezhi, how dare Situ Jing be so presumptuous and hand over the entire rice shop to the Hong family? The Hong family is a gun, Situ Jing is also a gun, and the person with the gun is He Xuezhi, who is beating you businessmen, you prey to ask for gunmen, what bargain can you get? ”

Han Mo just thought like this, and when he saw Tian Buren, he suddenly shook his head: "No, no...... the Hong family does this, it is because of the support of the county guard, and the county guard dares to do this...... Hey......! ”

Tian Laosan endured the pain and said, "Uncle, what do you mean, let's just forget it?" ”

Tian Buren gritted his teeth, and after a while, he sighed and said helplessly: "That's it, what can we do?" The eyes were extremely complex, full of resentment, but also flickering with helplessness.

"You go down and deal with your injuries first!" Tian Buren waved his hand, looking distraught.

"Uncle......!" Tian Laosan glanced at Xiao Mu and Han Mo beside him, and finally said, "These two guys saved me, you see...... Do you want to keep them in the house? ”

Tian Buren didn't look at Han Mo and the others, and said lightly: "There are already dozens of mouthfuls of rice in the house, there are more people and less to live, what are you doing with the mouth of eating?" After a pause, he said, "Give each person a few catties of food ......!" ”

Tian Laosan was a little disappointed, after all, this made him very faceless, but at this time, Tian Buren was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to say more, so he said to Han Mo and the others: "You help me go down and go back to get some food!" ”

Han Mo had already nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" ”

Of course, he and Xiao Mu won't really stay here, they just came here to observe the situation and see if there is anything to gain, at least now let him understand that the Tian family really hates the Hong family and has a deep grudge.

Sometimes you will never know the real pattern of the local area when you sit high up in the government or in the barracks, but as long as you go deep into it, walk around and listen to it, you can know some useful things, and you can speculate many useful things.

Han Mo and the others were about to help Tian Laosan push down, but when they heard a sound of footsteps, a person from Tianfu ran over with a rolling belt, and his voice trembled: "Old ...... Master...... The Hong family brought people to the door...... It's ...... door! ”

"What?" Tian Buren's face changed greatly, and then he showed an angry look, and shouted: "Call all the people in the Qi Mansion to take their weapons and follow me to the gate...... He***, is it really when Tian Buren is afraid of him? How dare you deceive me in front of my door......! ”

The man stammered, "Master, it's not...... It's not just ...... There are only people from the Hong family, and the county ...... The county magistrate also came with a large group of government messengers...... Here it comes......! ”

"Yacha? The county lord? Tian Buren's face was pale, he was a small businessman, he couldn't afford to offend the government, and he hurriedly said: "I...... I'll go to Yingzhi County to ......! "Don't dare to slack off, lift up your steps and go to the gate.

Before he left the courtyard gate, there was a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, Tian Buren was shocked, and several soapy clothes with big knives had rushed in from outside the courtyard, like wolves and tigers, and after them, more than ten strong clothes men rushed in, and they were really holding cold and shining big blades in their hands, this group of strong clothes big men, Han Mo looked at the outfits, and knew that it was the group of thugs in the Dahong rice store.

He heard that the magistrate of Xichun County had arrived, he had met, and he was afraid of being recognized, so he motioned to Xiao Muyi for the two of them to help Tian Laosan, and turned to the back of a rockery on the side without moving.

Han Mo even grabbed the plaster on the side of the rockery with his hand and rubbed it on his face, so as not to be revealed, Xiao Mu also smeared the plaster on his face, this Tian Laosan saw this, but his face was strange.

The subordinates in the Tian Mansion also got the movement, and the miscellaneous guards all came with weapons and gathered behind Tian Buren, but when they saw that in addition to the thugs of the Hong family, there were soapy clothes and yacha inside, and they were immediately frightened, and the weapons that were originally raised high were immediately put down.

Tian Buren's face was extremely ugly, and he shouted: "What are you doing here? Forcibly breaking into private houses, is there any royal law? ”

"Wang Fa?" A figure sounded outside the courtyard gate, "This county is Wang Fa!" In the middle of the words, a group of people poured in outside the courtyard gate, the leader was the magistrate of Xichun County, it was the He clan, and on his left was the county lieutenant of Xichun, this He Zhixian and the county lieutenant, Han Mo had seen it, before entering the city yesterday, these two people still went out of the city to greet them, and at that time, the county lieutenant went to pick up a message, so Han Mo remembered.

On the right side of He Zhixian, there is a rich merchant in purple brocade with a big belly, luxurious clothes and extremely fat body, but it is comparable to the big fat man He Xuezhi, with a beard, but his face is full of a smug smile.

When Tian Buren saw He Zhixian, sweat broke out on his forehead, took two steps forward, and knelt on the ground: "The grass people have seen Lord Zhixian!" ”

He Zhixian didn't call him up, and said coldly: "Tian Buren, I heard you shouting about the king's law, this county is here today to talk about what the king's law is!" ”

Tian Buren Khan rained down: "The adult has something to order, summon the villain to go, Lord He Lao came in person?" But I don't know what the adults command? ”

He Zhixian sneered: "I said that today I want to talk to you about the royal law. After taking two steps forward, he said: "This county has already issued an order, in order to maintain the stability of Xichun County and tide over the disaster, that is to make Dahong Rice Store fully responsible for the sale of rice and grain, and other rice shops, temporarily rest, this article, you should always know?" ”

"Yes, yes, the villain knows!"

"Okay, you know." He Zhixian put his hands behind his back and continued: "Later, the county keeper gave another order, which ordered no one to sell grain in private. Those who violate the order will be imprisoned if the circumstances are serious, and if the circumstances are light, they will also be severely punished. ”

"The grass people know." Tian Buren's vest was sweating: "The grass people have always kept it in mind, obeyed the law, and dare not disobey!" ”

"Fart!" He Zhixian scolded angrily and shouted: "Bring them all in!" ”
