Joint Petition Paper
Yuan Bao's words made Song Qian very surprised, and he thought that he didn't want to go because he had suffered some grievances in the academy, so he hurriedly asked, "Yuan Bao, tell my mother, did something happen in the academy?" Is someone bullying you?"
"No one is bullying me, don't worry, mother. Yuan Bao just doesn't want to go there to study, because it's okay to study at home."
In fact, the real reason is that the tuition fee of the academy is too high, Song Qian's business is not good now, so it is difficult to afford it, and Yuanbao doesn't want to go because he doesn't want to cause trouble for Song Qian.
But he couldn't tell the truth, he was afraid that Song Qian would think too much, so he had no choice but to make up this reason. After all, he didn't want to go to the academy before, so saying this wouldn't make Song Qian too suspicious.
Song Qian really didn't think much about it, and really thought that Yuanbao was the reason, so he opened his mouth to persuade her, "Yuanbao, didn't you promise your mother before that you would go to the academy to study? Could it be that you were lying to your mother at the time, do you know that this is wrong?"
Yuan Bao looked at Song Qian's eyes, lowered his head and nodded.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about things at home. All you have to do is study in the college and live happily." Song Qian touched Yuanbao's cheek and calmed him down.
At this moment, Ji Changye, who was passing behind them, overheard their conversation and guessed that Song Qian was in trouble. But he didn't ask anything in person, and after returning to the study, he asked Changfeng to investigate the matter.
Before Changfeng could get out of the threshold, he turned back and said what he was thinking: "Lord Wang, my subordinates guess that the landlord surnamed Jia went to Song Niangzi's shop to make trouble."
"It's really possible, but you can't jump to conclusions, so you go to investigate clearly, and then send someone to keep an eye on the surname Jia, and protect the safety of Song Niangzi, but don't show up and interfere easily, causing unnecessary trouble." The most important thing is not to let Song Qian know.
Changfeng hurriedly went to do it, and after finding out that this matter was indeed done by the Jia family, he sent someone to watch the Jia family according to Ji Changye's comfort, and he secretly followed Song Qian.
After knowing that Song Qian's shop had been targeted by the Jia family recently, Mrs. Wang came to see her after putting down the business of Xiangtang in her hand.
"Song Niangzi, it's us who have caused you trouble." If Song Qian hadn't wanted to help the Wang family, he wouldn't have provoked the Jia family so quickly, and Wang Niangzi naturally felt guilty.
Song Qian hurriedly comforted her when she said this again: "Mrs. Wang has said it, don't say that, this Jia Cheng has been eyeing my business for a long time, and sooner or later there will be this day, so don't think about it." The most urgent thing now is to solve this situation, otherwise the trouble will become bigger and bigger in the future."
"Indeed, do you have any ideas about Lady Song?"
Hearing this, Song Qian shook his head.
She's used everything she can do, and she can't think of anything else.
Mrs. Wang had nothing to do, so she could only be anxious, and in desperation, she had to say some comforting words and leave.
Song Qian seemed to be used to this matter and didn't think much about it. She tentatively opened the shop again, but fortunately the business was not bad.
But here comes the thing to worry about.
The subordinates of the Jia family came again, still the same as before, they just stood in the store with sticks. The people didn't want to cause trouble, so they didn't have time to buy anything and left in a hurry, and Song Qian couldn't say anything in a hurry when he saw it.
After thinking about it for a while, she touched the dagger from the backyard and hid it on her body, then walked up to the strong men and said, "If you don't want to buy anything, just leave, it's not good for you and me here, and I can't sit down in business here."
The strong man's eyes swept over the shop, and the scoundrel replied, "Shopkeeper Song, our brothers didn't do anything? It's just that I'm tired and comes in to sit and beg for saliva to drink, why does Song Niangzi rush people so much?"
Before Song Qian could say anything, the shopkeeper of the tailor shop on Tongtian Street, who came to buy desserts, said unevenly: "Doing nothing and standing in someone's shop with a stick, isn't this just that Cheng Xin doesn't want people to do business?"
After hearing these words, the strong man got up and raised his stick and shouted in warning, "What are you! If you don't want to get in trouble, get out of here!"
"Where did you come from, helpless, there is no king yet?
It's legal." The owner of the tailor shop was also a man of strong blood, and he was very unconvinced by the attitude of the strong man, so he threw down the box in his hand and greeted him.
Song Qian didn't want to disturb others because of this, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Shopkeeper Wang, you better leave quickly, there's nothing to do." At least they didn't dare to do anything blatantly, but it was hard to say that the king's shopkeeper was so up.
But the strong man did not intend to let the king's shopkeeper go, and after writing down his face, he warned him before leaving: "The king's shopkeeper is right, and I and my brothers will visit me when we have time."
Song Qian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly sent the shopkeeper Wang away.
Then she returned to the shop, and began to drive away the crowd with a cold face: "I don't welcome you here, you can go quickly." Song Qian's heart was still praying, hoping that this incident would not affect the king's shopkeeper.
I don't know if it's because the shopkeeper Wang had the courage to come out to help Song Qian, and the neighbors who were doing business couldn't stand it, and they bullied the small with weakness, so they gathered outside the shop and pointed at them.
Listening to the sound of the people's crusade, one of them wanted to wave a stick and step forward to drive them away with brute force, not wanting to be stopped by the strong man who led him, "Don't make trouble."
They just used the money to warn Song Qian, and they didn't want to conflict with others, and if they moved, it would be trouble.
"Let's go." However, they were not willing to listen to the insults of the people here, so they could only leave warning eyes and leave one after another.
Seeing that the trouble was solved for a short time, Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the neighbors who helped her, she bowed: "Thank you today, all the desserts in the shop today are discounted, and I am here to thank you."
The desserts sold by Song Qian are not expensive, and if they are discounted, they are not for money, which naturally attracts people's coaxing.
However, what worried Song Qian finally came, after she sent the ingots to the academy, she returned to the market and saw many people gathered together, and there was a noisy noise in the fenced open space.
After someone saw Song Qian come back, they hurriedly pulled her through the crowd to the front, pointed to the shopkeeper Wang who fell to the ground and said to Song Qian, "Shopkeeper Song, you can count it back, think of a way."
I don't know why, Song Qian knew what was going on after he saw the strong man and his group come out of the shopkeeper Wang's shopkeeper, and sure enough, the shopkeeper Wang's people were still retaliated against by them.
"Look at your furniture, it broke in less than half an hour after wearing it, my eldest brother kindly just wanted you to help sew it up, and didn't pursue your money, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant!" The younger brother threw a piece of clothing that did not look good at quality on the body of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper tore off the fabric and explained, "There has never been such fabric in my shop, you are obviously here on purpose to find fault, don't think I will be afraid of you!" When he got up, he spat out the blood in his mouth, not afraid of the few people in front of him.
The onlookers also understood when they heard this, these people just wanted to take revenge on the king's shopkeeper, and they found a reason casually.
The strong man gave the little brother a look, and the little brother immediately rushed over to hit the king's shopkeeper, but the heroine hurriedly blocked in front of the king's shopkeeper before stopping the fist that was close at hand.
The little brother was full of anger, and when he saw that it was Song Qian, he said, "Stinky girl! Do you want to die, get out of here!"
Shopkeeper Wang looked at Song Qian's thin figure, and also wanted her to leave, but Song Qian just refused to let go, and said, "In broad daylight, you are bullying people! What kind of man is he who bullies the less?"
After Zhao Chang, the strong man led by Zhao Chang, heard this, he walked up to Song Qian, looked at her a few times, and replied with a smile: "What Song Niangzi said is, but what can we do if someone wants to meddle in things? The brothers are not vegetarians, so naturally they can't be complacent, right? If you want me to say, you should be interesting, so that you don't bother others."
This sentence is to remind Song Qian, don't go against the Jia family, otherwise they may not do anything to hurt people who have something to do with Song Qian.
Song Qian knew that they were scoundrels, but he was still angry.
"Song Niangzi, don't be afraid of them!" The shopkeeper threw down the clothes in his hand and looked at it menacingly
They.
The other party was also eager to try, Song Qian lowered his eyebrows and thought quickly for a moment, then stopped the shopkeeper Wang who was about to be impulsive, and said to Zhao Chang and his party: "No matter what, this is a matter between us, and it has nothing to do with other people, something is coming at me."
"I didn't expect Song Niangzi to be a fierce woman, but these words have been said, let's see." Zhao Chang and the others naturally knew that they couldn't hurt Song Qian in public, so they bumped shoulders with her and left provocatively.
Song Qian bit his somewhat pale lip and looked at everyone apologetically, "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to the big guy today."
Voices of comfort soon echoed from the crowd.
"Shopkeeper Song's eyes are outside, they are all neighbors in the street to help each other, not to mention that you don't help us less on weekdays."
"That's it, Song is the shopkeeper, this kind of person can't be afraid of him, it's a big deal, just fight to the death to see what arrogance they have."
But there is no shortage of discontent.
"It's really annoying to get into trouble and let everyone suffer!"
Listening to the noise of these voices, Song Qian opened his mouth and instructed, "Big guy, pay attention to business recently, if you have any difficulties, just come to me." After all, it's because of her.
Sure enough, in the next few days, Zhao Chang would bring people to the market to make trouble. Sometimes it's the fruit stalls that are stolen and robbed openly, and sometimes it's the fabric of the tailor's shop that is destroyed......
There is no way to go on like this, so Song Qian gathered all the shopkeepers together to discuss what countermeasures should be taken to alleviate this phenomenon.
"Behold, when they come again the next time, they will tie them up and beat them, and take back what is ours." Some people were bold, so they came up with this suggestion.
But he was soon overturned by another person: "You are not a bandit, do you know how much prison you will go to if you beat someone?" It's rude. If you want me to say, it's better to report to the officials, otherwise why do they say that they are afraid of soldiers?"
"It's not like I haven't reported it before, but if it were useful, these people wouldn't be so arrogant." Some people shook their heads and sighed, very helpless, because there was no better way.
Song Qian listened to their conversation, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and spoke when everyone was disappointed: "That's because there are too few people who identify them, so those who are officials won't take it to heart, if we all write the pleadings together, I don't believe that the county magistrate won't really lose sight of this matter and leave it alone!"
