On rainy days, some people are happy and some are sad.

The prefect paced back and forth in his study, his eyebrows full of anxiety.

Now the reputation of his gambling stone shop outside can be said to have plummeted. Although he personally came to the door and visited the beaten guests with an apology, the guests also chose to forgive him and said that they would not pursue the matter again.

But this incident happened in front of the prefect's gate after all, and how many pairs of eyes stared at it. Even if the news of his apology was deliberately disseminated, people outside didn't seem to buy it.

The reason is very simple, no matter what, he is the one who did it, and in the eyes of others, he did it in the end, but because of public opinion. It's just about pressure.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, in this matter, he is indeed very wronged, but even if the prefect feels wronged again, it is impossible to say this matter.

You can't tell everyone that someone doesn't like his prefect, so he pretended to be in charge and gave such an order, right? When such news is spoken, it is impossible for anyone to believe it!

If it were the prefect himself, he wouldn't have believed it. But in fact, such things just happen.

The prefect asked his men in black to investigate the matter thoroughly in the past few days, but the person behind it seemed to be invisible, and he couldn't find any news at all, which made the prefect feel an unprecedented sense of frustration. For him, there was almost no one in the city who could match him.

In such a place, there is something that his prefect can't find, this is simply a fantasy! But as it turned out, something like this happened.

And the prefect couldn't guess the reason for this matter at all. He couldn't even figure out who he had provoked. Thinking about it, as a prefect, although he does have his own little Jiujiu in his heart, in front of outsiders, he will never expose his selfishness and ambition, he has always been kind to others, and it is impossible to show a bad side.

Will he find someone to hate him?

The prefect couldn't figure out what kind of hatred it would be to let others do such a thing to him. He felt that he was very aggrieved, and at this time, no matter how aggrieved he was, he couldn't relieve the emotion in his chest.

Because of the matter of the gambling stone shop, it is indeed his unkindness first. This matter was originally an order given by him, and there was a little bit of emptiness in his heart. Now that the East Window incident happened, because the prefect's waist was not straight, after all, his face was still not thick enough, and he did not suppress the news at the first time, and then he was rude to the guests who came to seek justice.

This first thing is just that, and the second thing comes next, Rao is the prefect, and he can't stop public opinion. On the mouth of the leisure.

Now even if the prefect regrets it, it is useless. The people under him are a group of rice buckets, which are useless at all at critical moments, and they drag themselves back. The prefect's bowels were almost blue with remorse, and he beat his chest, but now no matter how he punished his subordinates, he couldn't save the situation.

What's more, in the current situation, the gambling stone shop has no customers at all in the past few days, and the income has begun to decline, which cannot be compared with the beginning, or rather, not even a fraction.

There were already problems in several shops under the prefect's command, and in recent days, more new problems have vaguely emerged. Although the prefect didn't know what was going on, in such a situation, no matter how stupid he was, he could clearly see that someone had been targeting him!

Whether it is a few shops under his command, or a gambling stone shop, or even all the public opinion outside. In theory, all of this, all the spearheads, are pointed at him, the prefect.

If he didn't know that he was being targeted, then he would really be a fool!

But despite this, the prefect still didn't have the slightest clue, and this was what made him angry the most.

He clearly knew that the enemy had been eyeing him in the shadows for a long time, and he had done so many tricks and feet, and he had no intention of hiding it. Even at this time, he asked his subordinates to investigate thoroughly, but they still couldn't find the slightest information.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the prefect.

No matter how anxious and angry he was, he was still helpless in the end.

Because he couldn't know where the enemy was and what he was for, he couldn't do anything about it. This feeling is the most uncomfortable.

What's more, several of his shops have gradually become a little irresistible.

At the beginning, the gambling stone shop did make a lot of profits, but as soon as the prefect bought this gambling stone shop from Mrs. Pei, he had already borrowed a lot of silver taels. Later, after the gambling stone shop made a profit, he used a large part of the silver taels to pay off the silver taels he owed.

After all, the silver taels he borrowed in his own capacity could not be owed all the time. Others are also willing to lend him two silver taels for the sake of him, the prefect, how could he live up to such trust.

If he betrays the trust of others this time, then next time, I am afraid that if he is in trouble again, no one will pay attention to him.

Although this incident sounds sad, the reality is that it has always been so cruel.

In the interaction between people, the first thing is always only interests. Old friends Chinese network

If it weren't for the fact that he was able to bring convenience to people by sitting firmly in the position of the prefect, I am afraid that others would not be willing to lend him so many silver taels in a short period of time.

The prefect knows very well that this kind of thing has always been borrowed and returned, otherwise, next time, he will have no way.

Therefore, after paying off the silver taels lent out, in fact, if you really want to calculate it, there are not so many silver taels that the gambling stone shop profits. But if he has paid off his debts, and the business of the gambling stone shop is still booming every day, then his income is very considerable.

Several of its stores will soon be funded and start turnover again. When the time comes, he will not fall into such an embarrassing situation.

But now, there are problems in the business of the gambling stone shop, and even the few shops that he was able to turn around with him have completely cut off the source of funds.

Now for the prefect, it can be said that both sides are not beneficial, no matter which side of the problem arises, it makes him anxious to lose his hair, he is already a little bald, and in the past few days, he has lost a lot of hair.

Originally, the prefect felt most sorry for his hair, after all, no man would want to be bald, not to mention, he was already very "plump", and there were not a few hairs, which looked even more greasy.

At least, it is more and more inconsistent with the image he has always maintained.

No one thinks that a middle-aged bald man with a big belly will be a dignified prefect, no matter how gentle and polite he is, he can't resist the baptism of the years.

Of course, more importantly, the prefect was not such a person in the first place, he has always lived in his heart with a villain, in addition to being cautious, selfish, and like to calculate others, he is also greedy for money, good. Hue. These things, if you really want to talk about them, can't hide them at all.

Therefore, the prefect is just becoming more and more like himself.

Now although the prefect is in urgent need of capital turnover, he secretly asked several acquaintances, including the people who lent him two taels of silver, but these people were all hesitant and did not respond to his request for help in person. To put it bluntly, none of these people promised to lend him silver taels.

Although the prefect was angry in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only leave dejectedly.

He couldn't understand how he had become like this in just these days. Could it be that the original virtue of these people is like this, but he has not seen it clearly? But in that case, why were they willing to help themselves last time, and this time, they couldn't?

It's not that he doesn't pay back!

The prefect was so angry that he walked around the study, and he thought about it for a long time before he finally came up with a clue.

This time, they are reluctant to help themselves, and I am afraid that a large part of the reason is because of the matter of this gambling stone shop.

Once something happened to the gambling stone shop, his reputation as a prefect had plummeted at that moment. In that case, how could others be willing to help him, a man whose credibility is in question?

But in the end, he is also a victim!

Although the prefect wanted to say this, he was the first to do this, and now even if he wanted to blame others, he had no reason at all.

He could only be annoyed and stomp on the thick blanket under his feet.

If this continues, I'm afraid he will have to take the last resort to raise this working capital for himself.

The prefect looked at the blanket on the ground, a pair of mung bean eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of inexplicable look crossed his eyes.

These people treat him like this, do they really think that he, the prefect, is easy to bully and a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others?

Since he can sit in this position, it is naturally impossible for him to have such a little strength.

The prefect is not without other means, but he doesn't want to use that layer of relationship until the critical moment. After all, this matter is not all good for him.

It's better to say that this matter, if it is touched, if this matter is discovered one day, it will be a fatal blow to him.

But now, he had no choice but to do so.

The prefect stepped on the blanket under his feet again, and his eyes, which had been a little confused, gradually became clear and firm.

Since you are unkind, do not blame me for being unjust.
