Chapter 49: Gambling

Things are still fermenting, and somehow the news of Linglong Pavilion's collusion with foreigners has spread in Luoyang County, as if Linglong Pavilion has changed from a conscientious merchant in the hearts of the people to a heinous traitor overnight.

"Good girl, something is wrong!" There are a lot of people in Linglong's house today, but these people are not here to buy things, but to watch the excitement and see the excitement, and the stones fall into the wells.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Shan asked with a frown.

"Outside...... There were a lot of people gathered outside, saying that our Linglong family colluded with foreigners and was going to be sealed! "That little guy is a little flustered, Linglong's house has only been open for a few days, if it is blocked, what should he do?

"Is there anyone from the government?" This kind of thing is not to say that it is sealed, it must have formal documents.

"I didn't see it, but those people said they had noses and faces. Oh, and the shopkeeper is there, too? The little guy listened and thought about it for a moment before answering.

"That's there too?" The person who came was not good, and it is estimated that half of the people who made trouble were found by him.

"Good girl, what can I do now? They've blocked all the gates, and we can't do business! The little guy was a little anxious, not only him, but also the guys in the store were anxious.

"Let's go, let's see." Xiaoshan straightened her dress and walked out.

When she got to the door, wasn't it, there were three layers inside and three layers outside, and people outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get out. Those people shouted, and as soon as Xiao Shan came out, then someone shouted.

"Look, everyone! That's the master of Linglong Pavilion, it's that fox! ”

"It turned out to be a girl, and I don't know who the owner behind it is?"

"Who could it be! It must be Nansu or Seamo's spies! ”

"The Linglong family colludes with foreigners, we are not rare in his family's things!"

"Yes, return! Who knows if you have poisoned the people of Beigao! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it was terrible, the scene was almost out of control, and although the shopkeeper of the Linglong family tried his best to appease, it was useless.

"Everyone, please listen to me." Xiao Shan glanced at the people present lightly, although the voice was not loud, but the momentum was sufficient, and the people on the scene really quieted down.

"Good girl, now everyone in Luoyang County knows that the Linglong family colluded with foreign clans and used the means of transporting goods to transport weapons, grain and grass to attack Beigao, no matter how much you explain, I'm afraid it will be in vain." The East shopkeeper gloated.

"The East Shopkeeper, the perfidy of Linglong Pavilion is not as good as you, is there any evidence for the East Shopkeeper's words? Or did the government issue an official document saying that my Linglong family is like this? Xiao Shan sneered, this person is as annoying as a mouse!

"You! Don't be too complacent, the official documents of the government will come down soon, and within three days, Linglong's house will be sealed! The shopkeeper said confidently.

"Oh? How about we make a bet? Xiao Shan's expression was a little disdainful.

"Hmph, gambling with country thieves is not the style of the owner." The surname Dong was a little withdrawn, and he still knew what should be risked and what should not be risked.

"Really? Isn't the shopkeeper of the East Treasurer empty-hearted? The shopkeeper of the east has found so many people and incited so many unwitting people, just for the Li family to bring down our Linglong family? Even if the shopkeeper temporarily reneged on the contract before, after all, it was the dog of the Li family, and my Linglong Pavilion would not sell himself to the Li family for the sake of profit. This will, I'm afraid it's a red-eyed and delicate family, what? Want to steal my Linglong family's method to collapse Linglong Pavilion and open another Li Long Pavilion? Xiao Shan seemed to be smiling, sarcastic and cold-spoken.

"You're a bloody spurt!" The shopkeeper of the east seemed to have been poked in the heart, and his face turned red in an instant.

"I'm spurting blood? The Li family has already prepared shops in various places, almost the same as our Linglong family, am I not right? If you don't admit it, won't you be a slap in the face when it opens on that day? Xiao Shan glanced at him, this is an obvious fact, and it is not okay not to admit it.

"So what? There are so many money-making transactions in the world, is it only allowed for your Linglong family to do it, not for the Li family? The shopkeeper was very angry, thinking that he really couldn't lie about it, otherwise he would end up with a dishonest name, and it would be better to admit it generously and make a reputation.

"So...... Did the shopkeeper admit that he was a lackey of the Li family? Xiao Shan was no longer polite, and asked with a sneer.

"What? You! The surnamed Dong just reacted, and he was speechless.

What if it was such a good show, or was it really not what they believed?

"Everyone, whether it is the Linglong Pavilion or the Linglong family, can there be deception? Is it untrue? Is there any bullying? I believe you have your own argument in your heart. The news that came out overnight must be that there must be villains who are bullying others, and they can't see that others have a chance to get ahead. There are so many guys in Linglong Pavilion, are they going to lose their jobs for a fake news? Ladies and gentlemen, do you really want to help such villains to be the executioners who kill people with a sword? Xiao Shan expressed his sincerity to everyone present.

The crowd was silent for a while, and those who were instigated also calmed down and thought about it carefully. The reputation of Linglong Pavilion and Linglong Family has always been very good, and it is not as rumored. Moreover, the reputation of this proprietor is average, so it seems that it is really possible that people are jealous and come to frame him.

The point is that they don't want to be ignorant and fall into sin, and do something that hurts nature and reason. The ruffians who were hired to cause trouble saw that everyone didn't squeak and didn't talk well, otherwise it would not be good to be treated as a victim. But the shopkeeper was not happy, and when he saw that everyone seemed to be moved by this woman's words, and among them, there were those who had spent their own money, and they immediately tensed.

"Why, why don't you speak?" The proprietor glared at one of them.

"The shopkeeper of the East is not Dongxing? Everyone, if you have been deceived by this person to frame my Linglong Pavilion, now stand up and identify, I will definitely not blame the past, and I will give ten taels of silver to set the record straight! If you are still stubborn and acting for the tiger, then don't blame me for not being humane, and after a stick of incense, I will send someone to the government to report the case, I believe that Lord Jiang will uphold justice! Xiaoshan scolded sharply, the policy of one radish and one stick was taught to her by her master.

The individuals looked at each other, then at the plate of silver that had been brought out, and swallowed. Besides, who is the Jiang family? Who doesn't know that now the Jiang family and the Linglong family are a pair of pants!

"I say I say! It was the man surnamed Dong who gave me a tael of silver and asked me to spread rumors everywhere, saying that Linglong Pavilion was colluding with foreigners or something. I...... Can I take it? The man stared at the plate of silver and could not walk, he was a scoundrel, and whoever had the silver and wine was the master.

Xiao Shan nodded, made a gesture of please, and then saw that the man rushed forward quickly, holding the silver in his arms, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it.

"Rubbish! You-" The shopkeeper's ears were red, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Me too! I only took one tael of silver, saying that as long as I talked to the people around me, it would be good to make a scene, and I would give another tael after the deed was completed. When the man saw that someone was the first to get the benefit, he didn't care too much, so he directly betrayed the shopkeeper, and the sale was clean, and there was not even any scum left.

"What? Do you have two taels? The surname is Dong, why do we only have one or two, you are not kind! Suddenly, someone yelled.

"Yes! I only have one or two, how many do you have? ”

"Two taels, and a pot of good wine! But I've passed two streets! ”

The crowd exploded, and the ordinary people didn't know what was going on, and they could see them eat dogs.

"Go, and give them the money." Xiao Shan calmly looked at everything that happened, and what the master said, "Poor people must have something to hate, and hateful people must have something to be pitiful" is probably like this.

Looking at the shopkeeper again, he can't say a word, if you want to say that one or two people are okay, you can know at a glance which is right and which is wrong. He regretted it in his heart, thinking that he was unaware of this matter, and the people he was looking for were either street gangsters or poor ghosts who worked for a short time, who knew that these people would actually watch the silver turn against him?

What he didn't expect was that he also tempted these people with silver. So, these people just fancy the benefits. Coupled with Xiaoshan's intimidation, this is not surprising.

"It turns out that Linglong Pavilion was really wronged, eh, it's all because I still believe these words!"

"yes, yes! I won't let me come, I can't look at these profiteers, who knows that I'm blind. ”

"Girl, the Linglong family won't increase the price in the future because of this, right? We don't know anything! ”

"This surnamed Dong is too hateful, he should be arrested and reported to the official!"

"That's right! Seeing that other people's business is doing well, who knows who has been harmed before?! ”

"You ...... You know what! The official document of the government will come down soon, but whether it is Linglong Pavilion or Linglong Family, it will be sealed! You don't believe me! The shopkeeper was dizzy and roared without image, this time he lost his wife and broke his soldiers.

"Humph! Do you think I'll still believe you? ”

"That's it, I won't go to Dongqing Wine Shop to buy wine anymore, and the wine sold by this kind of person is also sassy!"

"Yes! I'm not going either! I don't know how many times better than them! ”

Everyone was still like a teacher asking for guilt in front of the half-pillar incense, and now they began to fight for Linglong Pavilion again, Xiao Shan looked at all this and always maintained a straight back, and then interrupted everyone's discussion and opened his mouth gently.

"East shopkeeper, my Linglong family is by no means a villain like you, rest assured, you are also deceived and bewitched, my Linglong family will never do such a thing. Since the shopkeeper is so sure that Linglong's house will be sealed, what if we block it? Xiao Shan's words were like a poisonous snake wrapped around the surname Dong's heart, he looked at her hatefully, he could think of what kind of impact his actions today could have on his own shop, and whether their family could still let him serve as a deacon? Perhaps this bet was his only hope.

"What bet?" The shopkeeper asked with red eyes.

"If Linglong's house is not sealed, then the shopkeeper will seal his own shop and never open!" Xiao Shan's tone was non-negotiable.

"What if it's sealed?" The surnamed Dong calmed down instead, and there was no temperature in his words.

"If the Linglong family is really sealed, then whether it is the Linglong family or the Linglong Pavilion, from now on, it will be given away!" Xiao Shan said with a smile.

Everyone took a breath of cool air when they heard this, and gambled! That's it!

"Really?" The shopkeeper was also shocked, I didn't expect the Linglong family to be so ruthless? But this news was brought by that person, it is true, this bet on the Linglong family is lost, and he can already think of the appearance of the wind and rain after he wins the Linglong family.

"Seriously!" Xiao Shan nodded calmly.

"Good! There is no basis for words, and black and white are the evidence! The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and looked proud, for it seemed to him that this place was about to change hands.
