Chapter XVIII: Threats
Seeing Sun Jue coming, Sun Jian beckoned to him: "Let's talk while walking." ”
"What the hell is going on? Isn't it just a price war? Why has a shop been seized? ”
Faced with Sun Jue's question, Sun Jian just said: "Be calm, no matter what happens, you must calm down first, so that you can think of a solution." ”
When the two of them went out, Sun Jian said: "The shop that was seized is a grain and oil shop, which usually sells some grain, vegetable oil and other things, and the reason for the seizure is to sell illicit salt." ”
Trafficking in illicit salt is undoubtedly a felony, punishable by beheading at the worst and beheading at the worst.
Because salt is a necessity of life, and it can be called a huge profit, it has always been in the hands of the government.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, because salt production requires a large number of people, so that the people who sell illicit salt must have gathered a large gang of people, some as many as tens of thousands.
With so much manpower in the hands of local tyrants, it is undoubtedly a time bomb.
Although the predecessor didn't know much about many things at home, he also knew that the Sun family did not sell salt.
"Our family doesn't sell salt, is it because the shopkeeper of this shop is making his own decisions?"
Sun Jian nodded: "Yes, our family does not sell salt, but we don't know what the specific situation is yet, we will know when we get there." ”
The two of them were not slow, and the shop was not far away, so they arrived quickly.
From a distance, Sun Jue saw a group of people catching fast, punching and kicking a few guys.
"Stop!"
A loud roar rang out, like a spring thunder, and the ears of those nearby were buzzing.
Suddenly, several catches stopped.
After seeing that the person who came was the father and son of the Sun family, these catchers glanced at each other.
Sun Jue and Sun Jian came to the door of the store and looked around the store, it was a mess, and the grain was spilled all over the ground.
"What did they do that you want to punch and kick them?"
Sun Jue's gaze fell on a few catchers, his eyes were as sharp as knives, so that these catchers didn't dare to look at him at all.
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
There are still dozens of corpses parked in the yamen, and it is said that most of these people were killed by the Sun family, who looked weak in front of him.
Even though some people don't believe it in their hearts, they still keep in awe.
For a while, these catchers were silent, and they even lowered their heads.
Sun Jian silently pulled these guys up.
At this time, a person walked out of the shop, and it was Wang Leiwang, who led the team to Sun's house that night, to catch the head.
At this time, he was holding an iron chain in his hand, and at the other end of the chain was a middle-aged fat man wearing shackles.
"We are here to arrest the criminals, they dare to obstruct us, and it is already light to teach them a lesson, what's the matter, does the head of the Sun family have any opinions? Or do you want to shield criminals? ”
"It's a big hat, but when you speak, you have to talk about evidence, what crime did the shopkeeper Hou commit? Where is the evidence? Does Wang Zhutou have an arrest warrant? ”
Although Sun Jian's injuries have not healed, his momentum has not weakened in the slightest.
"The proof is here."
Looking in the direction pointed by Wang Lei, there were indeed two large bags of snow-white table salt.
Judging by its fineness, it should be refined salt, which is expensive.
Sun Jian frowned, and he looked at the shopkeeper Hou.
The shopkeeper Hou hurriedly said: "The owner, I didn't get this salt, someone threw it at the door last night, and I moved it into the shop after I found it in the morning, but I haven't sold a single or two salts." ”
Wang Zhutou chuckled: "You said that you picked it up, you picked it up?" Is this kind of refined salt something that can be picked up casually? Someone has reported you for selling illicit salt, and now the evidence is conclusive, so you can't quibble. ”
At this time, Sun Jue suddenly interjected: "What to pick up, throw away, this is what I ordered someone to buy back last night and put it here temporarily, there is a misunderstanding, Wang Zhutou should release the shopkeeper Hou first, he is not too young to withstand this toss." ”
"Young Master Sun's reason is good, but do you think this head catcher will believe it? Will the prefectural magistrate believe it? ”
Wang Zhutou didn't expect Sun Jue to say this, but this is not a debate competition, and he has no intention of playing tricks with Sun Jue.
The corners of Sun Jue's mouth hooked slightly: "If you find two bags of salt at random, even if you sell illegal salt?" I still have a lot of salt at home, do you want to go and see it and punish us? ”
Wang Lei was about to speak, but Sun Jue directly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Wang Zhutou thought clearly before answering, otherwise if two bags of salt are found from Wang Zhutou's house one day, it will be a violation of the law, and the crime will be increased!"
Wang Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, and anger was brewing in them: "Is Young Master Sun threatening me with this?" ”
"I'm not threatening you, how dare I threaten Wang Zhutou, I'm just telling a fact."
Sun Jue glanced around, "If my Sun family is so easy to be brought down, can I still use this method?" ”
Through the events of the previous night, plus today's events, Wang Lei must know part of the truth of the matter.
So Sun Jue concluded that he must only know who was targeting the Sun family.
And Sun Jue's words were reminding him that the Sun family was not easy to mess with.
Just as Wang Lei was pondering, Sun Jue raised one foot, and then slowly put it down.
Suddenly, the bluestone slab under Sun Jue's feet was dented.
Sun Jue withdrew his foot, and a very smooth, ten-centimeter-deep footprint appeared in the place where Sun Jue stepped on it just now.
Seeing this footprint, Wang Lei's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes were full of shock.
It's not hard to make a ten-centimeter-deep footprint, and he can do it.
But being able to keep the bluestone slab from cracking, doing this is enough to prove that Sun Jue's control of power has reached a level of supernatural power.
After a quick calculation in his heart, Wang Lei squeezed out a smile on his face: "What Young Master Sun said is reasonable, this matter is indeed full of doubts, we will continue to investigate and release people." ”
With a wave of Wang Lei's hand, the catchers quickly untied the shackles and chains, and then left here quickly.
Sun Jian patted Sun Jue's shoulder, and a smile appeared on his face: "Shopkeeper Hou, you arrange for a few of them to go to the doctor first, and this shop will not be opened for the time being." ”
"Yes, the owner, thank you for the siege, otherwise I would definitely be planted today."
The shopkeeper Hou lived for the rest of his life after the robbery, and his heart was full of happiness.
Then he looked at Sun Jue, his eyes were full of respect: "Young Master, thanks to you this time, thank you." ”
Sun Jue waved his hand: "You are a member of my Sun family, this is what should be done, next time, if you encounter something, remember to report it first, don't fall into the trap." ”
"Yes, with this lesson, I will definitely take it to heart."
Sun Jue bowed slightly, then looked at Sun Jian, lowered his voice and said: "Father, this matter will not end like this, there must be other tricks waiting for us next, we ......"
"Alas, you can only take one step at a time."
