After Shopkeeper Li finished speaking, Shen Yingniang felt bad.

Sure enough, Shopkeeper Li came to fan the flames, and he offered to take out five hundred taels to "help" everyone tide over the difficulties.

One of them shouted: "Shen Yingniang! Did you hear that? This is the real businessman, with a big picture! What do you mean when you're doing business with us, but you don't want to help our people? ”

Someone immediately chimed in.

"That's it! People are as bad as the restaurant business, Shopkeeper Li is willing to take out the silver to help us, your Shen Yue dim sum shop has earned us so much money, but you are reluctant to take some silver to help us, you are a selfish profiteer! ”

"Borrow money! Borrow money! ”

"That's it, take the money out! If you don't take 1,000 taels, no, if you don't take enough 2,000 taels to come out, this matter is not over today! ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the words of the shopkeeper Li were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the crowd that was still calm just now boiled in an instant.

Shen Yingniang's forehead was beating wildly, glaring at Shopkeeper Li, as if she wanted to eat him, this despicable and shameless bastard!

Yue Lingjun was afraid that Shen Yingniang would be hurt by these people, so he blocked Shen Yingniang with his body and whispered.

"Lady, you better go in, I'll leave it here."

Shen Yingniang doesn't plan to retreat, if she really goes in, isn't that showing weakness?

She didn't believe it, with the words of shopkeeper Li, could it be that these people really dared to smash her shop?

This matter makes no sense anywhere.

Shen Yingniang called Xiao Liuzi and said in a low voice: "You go to the county government and invite the county magistrate to me." ”

Xiao Liuzi has long wanted to report to the official, these people are simply lawless, even if the tax is raised, what does it have to do with their shopkeeper, they actually came here to make trouble.

Although it depends on the situation that the shopkeeper Li is making trouble, these people are really too arrogant and rampant, and after Xiao Liuzi nodded, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd and left.

Shen Yingniang patted Yue Lingjun's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine, Xianggong, with you, I'm really not afraid of anything." ”

Shen Yingniang stepped forward and glanced at Shopkeeper Li, sneered and said, "Shopkeeper Li, I didn't expect you to be so slippery, but you think you can ruin my business in this way?" ”

Shopkeeper Li still looks innocent.

"Shopkeeper Shen, it seems that you really misunderstood me, everything I did was for the neighbors, we are all in business, these are our food and clothing parents, when we encounter difficulties, we should stand up and help, Shopkeeper Shen doesn't look like a stingy person, why do you have to go against everyone?"

When Shopkeeper Li said about the back, he deliberately raised his voice, which made the already boiling crowd a little more confident.

"That's it! Shen Yingniang, you hurry up and take out the money, Shopkeeper Li has a bad business and takes out five hundred taels, why don't you take it? ”

"If you want to do business here, you have to do as the locals do, otherwise why would we let you open a shop here?"

"Let's Jean! Let's get it! ”

Just when Shen Yingniang was about to be scolded by these brazen words, a familiar voice came from the crowd again.

It's the king's treasurer.

Shen Yingniang was a little surprised, the crowd got out of the way, and the shopkeeper Wang came out of the crowd, and after seeing Shen Yingniang, the shopkeeper Wang smiled, and then glared at the shopkeeper Li fiercely, walked to the shopkeeper Li, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Shopkeeper Li, it's not like you to do business, you can't fight head-on, just use this kind of indiscriminate means, you don't let the butchers in the county sell meat to us, and now you are still doing this, don't you feel ashamed?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled lightly.

"Shopkeeper Wang, you must have a credential to speak, what did I do, and you started talking nonsense? By the way, you came here suddenly, could it be that you also want to lend money to everyone to tide over the difficulties? ”

As soon as these words came out, Shopkeeper Wang and Shen Yingniang had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and sure enough, Shopkeeper Li raised his voice and said to everyone.

"Don't get excited, this is the shopkeeper Wang of Hefeng Restaurant, he probably heard that the big guy is in trouble, so he also wanted to come out and borrow some silver for everyone, the business of Hefeng Restaurant is so good, the shopkeeper Wang can take out, definitely more than me, everyone thank him!"

Shopkeeper Li understands that he is killing him, in other words, he is wearing a high hat for Shopkeeper Wang.

In the midst of everyone's thanks and gratitude, the shopkeeper Wang originally wanted to deny it, but he just blocked his throat.

"The king's shopkeeper is really righteous! He is worthy of being our old shopkeeper here. ”

"It's just that, unlike some people, who don't know how to make good connections at a young age, they only know how to behave."

"What kind people? It's clearly a hypocrite guy, and he's a profiteer who makes black money! Where can it be compared to the righteousness of Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Wang? ”

Listening to everyone's discussions, it was obvious that the righteous act that Shopkeeper Wang originally wanted to come over to support helped Shen Yingniang, not only did he suffer a loss, but let Shopkeeper Li seize the opportunity to stomp Shen Yingniang a few times.

Shen Yingniang glared at the shopkeeper Wang angrily, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Wang, you stay in your own restaurant, no one says anything, what are you doing here?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang was also a little embarrassed, he obviously wanted to come out and say two fair words, but he didn't expect that Shopkeeper Li that bastard directly snatched his words, now, no matter what he said, it was not appropriate, and Shopkeeper Wang was also angry.

But fortunately, before Shopkeeper Li could force Shopkeeper Wang to take out the silver, suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far away, and then someone outside the crowd shouted.

"The prefectural commander is here!"

Hearing that the county order was coming, the people who were originally excited subconsciously lowered their voices and looked in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves.

Shen Yingniang was also able to see the county order coming over on a fast horse from the gap in the crowd, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to come.

Shopkeeper Wang was a little panicked when he saw the county order, but he thought that today's matter had nothing to do with him, not only did it matter, but he was still helping Shen Yingniang, so he straightened his waist again.

Shen Yingniang fell her eyes on the face of the shopkeeper Li, which was different from what she imagined, the shopkeeper Li didn't have the slightest weakness, as if she didn't care about whether the county order would come or not.

Or rather...... He expected it, but didn't care?

Shen Yingniang's brows furrowed, the rich man behind Shopkeeper Li wouldn't be able to suppress the county order, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Yingniang glanced back at Yue Lingjun, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

"Xianggong, can the county order clean up this mess?"

Yue Lingjun's face sank like water, and he saw Shen Yingniang's concerns, patted her shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, if the county order can't handle it, then I'll come." ”

At this time, Yue Lingjun's body exuded an aura that made Shen Yingniang feel at ease, as if no matter what happened, as long as Yue Lingjun was here, everything could be solved.

Shen Yingniang immediately smiled.

"Okay, I believe that you are a father-in-law, then we will come to block it, if the county order can't be solved, then let's do it ourselves, no matter who the rich man behind the shopkeeper Li is, if you want to step on us, it's not so easy!"

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, that kind of aura that others can't invade, so that the shopkeeper next to him can't help but look sideways.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't expect that the two of them would have kung fu to flirt at such a time, but they just felt that they didn't have eyes.

"What's going on? What do you do? Get out of the way! ”

The county magistrate came over with a few yacha, with a serious expression and a sense of majesty.

Those who were still clamoring for Shen Yingniang to come out with money closed their mouths at this time and retreated one after another, for fear of being arrested by the county order.

Shopkeeper Li looked at this scene and glanced at a few of the people in the crowd, who shouted despite hesitation.

"We didn't do anything bad! We are just here to borrow money, Shen Yingniang has made so much money, why can't she borrow some money from us to tide over the difficulties? . ”

"That's it, it's not that we don't pay it back, it's really impossible now, Shen Yingniang makes so much money, and now she doesn't help even if she does a little favor, this kind of profiteer doesn't deserve to stay with us!"

"Isn't it? Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Wang both promised to give out the silver, why didn't Shen Yingniang give it? ”

The county magistrate only felt that his ears hurt from the noise, but what shocked him even more was what these people just said, they came to borrow money? Far away, he thought he was here to ask for a debt!

The county order gave a few yacha looks, and those yacha stepped forward one after another to stop them, and under the deterrence of these yacha with high cattle and big black faces, the crowd was still quiet.

The county magistrate asked about the situation, and Shen Yingniang hurriedly rushed to the front and told the cause and effect of the matter.

If you let Shopkeeper Li, the bastard, preemptively strike and talk nonsense, maybe there will be some kind of chaos.

However, Shen Yingniang can only tell the truth, although she knows that these people are most likely found by Shopkeeper Li, but there is no evidence, she can only tell the facts.

She didn't forget that Shopkeeper Li just jumped out to fan the flames and told the county order.

The county is old, where do you not understand that there is something strange about this matter, and his eyes fell on the body of the shopkeeper Li with dissatisfaction, and said quite majestically.

"Shopkeeper Li, increasing taxes is the business of the imperial court, and it is also the business of these people who can't pay it, you are willing to give money to help, it doesn't matter, but it doesn't mean that you can force Shopkeeper Shen to borrow silver in front of so many people."

After speaking, the county magistrate looked at the debt collectors with a dark face, and said angrily: "And you!" You can't pay your taxes, so you borrow them from relatives and friends, and what are you doing when you come to someone else's shopkeeper? You are still blocking here to hinder other people's business, you are blackmailing! Do you want to be spanked? ”

The words of the prefectural order really shocked some people.

Among this group of people, there are indeed a few people who were inserted by Shopkeeper Li to deliberately provoke everyone's emotions, but most of them are poor ghosts who have been fooled, and they belong to the kind of people who take risks for money, as long as they don't kill people and set fires, they can do anything.

They don't think it's a big crime to force Shen Yingniang to borrow some silver, not to mention, before they came, they all felt that Shen Yingniang was a woman, soft-hearted, and easy to handle.

Even if the other party picks the door and refuses to give out the silver, as long as he scares and scares, he can make Shen Yingniang take out the silver out of fear.

It's just that they didn't expect that Shen Yingniang was not an ordinary woman, and she was even tougher than men in some aspects, so she didn't even take out a penny and reported to the official.

Now, things are a little troublesome.

Seeing that these debt collectors were shocked by a few words of the county order, where was the shopkeeper Li willing to do it?

He stepped forward directly and saluted the county order respectfully, but he leaned a little closer and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Lord County Commander, I'm afraid you can't manage this matter."
