At lunchtime, Zheng Yuan, the leader of Zheng's Salt Industry Group, was out about 20 dishes, and when he didn't know where to start, he received a report from Ganquan Courtyard.

When he received the report last night, Zheng Yuanwai was not angry because he had not yet made arrangements and deployments.

But when he heard what happened in the morning at noon today, Zheng Yuanwai was a little angry because his arrangements and deployments were trampled on the ground and rubbed.

"Lin Tailai still didn't do it?" Zheng Yuanwai asked.

The old steward replied truthfully, "No, but he is beside him." ”

If the person surnamed Lin did it himself, it would be easy to do it, and he could directly report to the official to finish the matter.

Zheng Yuanwai's eyes were like a torch and he analyzed: "Those more than 20 thugs must be the entourage he brought from Suzhou, pretending to be passers-by!" ”

The old steward said very skillfully: "The old man is wise, but Lin Tailai claimed that he will come again tomorrow morning, how should he deal with it?" ”

Zheng Yuanwai said after careful consideration, "I expect that Lin Tailai's purpose is to save face, and this mood is understandable."

But he shouldn't have regained his face by humiliating the Zheng family's face in this way! The Zheng family will never accept this kind of humiliation! ”

The old steward asked, "Do you want to find his dwelling place and teach him a lesson?" ”

Zheng Yuan reprimanded: "Our Zheng family still needs to act in such a secret in Yangzhou City? Teach him a fair lesson! ”

In the past two days, Lin Tai has come and gone to the Zheng Villa three times, and each time it is more and more popular, and many people in the city know about it.

The next day, when Lin Daguan reappeared on the street and walked leisurely in the direction of Xiaodongmen, many people along the way began to follow Lin Daguan.

On a cross street closest to Zheng's Courtyard, Lin Daguan had just walked to the center of the street, and suddenly a group of people and horses were killed in front of him, about 100 people, and the street was blocked in front of Lin Daguan.

The man at the head said in a deep voice: "Under Zheng Sichang, please Lin Xie Yuan don't harass Bai Ji again." ”

Lin Daguan scolded directly: "I can go wherever I want, what do you have to do with you, a stupid slave of the Zheng family?" What do you have to stop me? ”

Zheng Sichang was a little annoyed by the scolding, and immediately ordered his subordinates to come forward and surround several of Lin Daguan's masters and servants.

Lin Tailai said again: "I am a native of Wuju, Suzhou, and I am about to enter Beijing to take the exam now, passing by Yangzhou, you hao slaves dare to intercept me, a candidate!" ”

Exams have a special meaning in society, and they generally give convenience and privileges to candidates by default.

Intercepting candidates and obstructing them from taking the test is very immoral and politically incorrect in public opinion, and will even be investigated by the government.

Although he was charged with the big hat of intercepting candidates, Zheng Sichang still didn't care, after all, he was used to running rampant in Yangzhou.

Besides, this statement is also very far-fetched, and surrounding you on the streets of Yangzhou City will become an interception of you from entering Beijing to take the exam?

When the onlookers saw this scene, they only thought of one sentence, that is, "the arms can't reach the thighs".

No matter how deep Lin Jieyuan's affection is, no matter how well you write poetry, and how well you can fight personally, you can't break the game if you are surrounded by more than 100 people.

After all, this is Yangzhou City, not Suzhou City.

Then I saw Lin Xie Yuan, who was surrounded by him, raising his arms and shouting: "Report to the official!" I'm going to report to the police! Zheng's family illegally detained me! ”

Everyone was speechless, these words did not have the demeanor of the legendary first hero in Suzhou City.

A general scoop character in Jianghu Road, when he encounters something, he will report to the official, is this like words?

But there were really two people standing in the crowd and shouting: "Lin Jieyuan! I am a fellow villager of Wu County, so I will report to the official for you! ”

Then these two people went separately to the Yangzhou Mansion and Jiangdu County Mansion, which were not too far away, and they could be reached in a quarter of an hour.

Zheng Sichang scoffed at this, and didn't want to stop others from reporting to the official at all.

If the report can be useful, he will eat the cloth signs of the roadside teahouse!

He said with a smile: "Lin Jieyuan! We respect you as a Xie Yuan, so we give three points.

But if you don't leave Yangzhou City, don't blame me for being rude! ”

Lin Daguan silently took out two iron whips and said lightly: "Wait for the results of the report." ”

Seeing such murder weapons, Zheng Sichang hurriedly reminded his subordinates to be vigilant, and then waited first.

It didn't take long for the two people who reported to the official to come back and shouted, "The yamen won't accept it!" ”

Zheng Sichang laughed proudly a few more times, "Lin Jieyuan, please yourself!" ”

Suddenly, several people stood up from the crowd and shouted indignantly:

"The Zheng family, a salt merchant, is rich and unkind, and deceives people too much! Lin Jieyuan, who dared to besiege us in Suzhou today, we fellow villagers in this county really can't stand it! ”

Zheng Sichang turned around and said, "Get out!" Just a few of you dare to uphold justice, and you don't even know how to write dead words! ”

The Suzhou people who stood up shouted again: "What if there are too many people, you Zheng family can bully others if you have too many people?" ”

Zheng Sichang said impatiently: "Let you know the benefits of having more people now!" ”

Then he casually pointed to a small leader, with a dozen or so people, and walked towards the few Suzhou people who were unhappy.

Immediately, the indignant Suzhou man who was the first to stand up was slapped in the face, pushed to the ground, and was punched and kicked.

These dozen or so Zheng family thugs fought very happily, no different from the past.

In their hearts, beating someone can also make trouble? It can be said that their existence is to help Zheng Yuanwai beat people!

Collecting salt and making stoves, selling salt and fighting peers, coming and going in the wind and rain, is indispensable!

Zheng Sichang pointed to the person who was beaten and threatened Lin Tailai: "Take a closer look, don't fall into the same fate." ”

It was when the beating was over, and when the dozen or so Zheng family thugs who were in charge of the action raised their heads, a few outsiders somehow became dozens.

Each of them wore a red cloth towel tied to their arm, and dozens of eyes stared at each other.

Zheng Sichang also sensed that something was wrong, and was about to ask, but he heard a few harsh bamboo whistles.

Then a great crowd came from the south, a great crowd from the north, a great crowd from the east, and a great crowd from the west.

These large groups of people are all young and middle-aged men, and they are all characterized by red cloth strips tied to their arms, and they are accomplices at a glance, and there are at least a few hundred people in a rough count!

The Suzhou man who was the first to stand up and was filled with righteous indignation lay on the ground, let go of his hands holding his head, and shouted at Zheng Sichang with scars:

"Our Wu County folks are here, do you Zheng family still want to be more than people!"

At this time, hundreds of people shouted together: "The Zheng family, a salt merchant, is not benevolent for the rich!" Beat my folks, where is the justice! ”

The thugs of the Zheng family were stunned, where did these hundreds of people come from, and they are so united?

More than a hundred people are surrounded by hundreds of organized people, how can they fight? Also, since there are so many people on the other side, why didn't they stand up earlier?

At this moment, Lin Daguan was still surrounded by the Zheng family's thugs, but he pushed away the people in front of him and swaggered outside, and no one dared to stop him.

Lin Daguan continued to walk slowly towards the courtyard, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said in a serious voice:

"When you go out and walk the rivers and lakes, you must value peace, and fighting and killing is not the solution to the problem!

When you encounter something, it's best to negotiate and don't do it. ”

The Zheng family's thugs quietly breathed a sigh of relief, there are more than 100 on their own side and hundreds of opponents, of course it is best to be able to value peace.

Zheng Sichang also secretly thought, it seems that Lin Xie Yuan also has scruples in his heart, after all, he is in a different place, and it makes sense to be cautious.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Lin Xie Yuan Gaoyi! ”

When everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Jieyuan's fading back, the bamboo whistle sounded again.

The hundreds of Suzhou men suddenly made a move together, and the Zheng family's thugs, who had just relaxed, were caught off guard, and they were not even prepared to escape, so they were surrounded on the cross street on the spot, and they were beaten to death.

After a while, not many of the more than 100 thugs of the Zheng family could still stand up.

Before today, these main thugs raised by the Zheng family never dreamed that they would be beaten like this in Yangzhou City.

The onlookers at the scene couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, not because they had little knowledge, but they really hadn't seen such a style of acting.

Things happened too quickly, and before most people could react, the Zheng family's combat power was completely wiped out.

Although it is not clear how many thugs the Zheng family has, without the more than 100 in front of him, at least his vitality will be greatly damaged, and he may even lose his main force.

Also, how afraid of the government are you, Lin Jieyuan, and before leaving, you are still shouting "peace is precious", and you really don't have any legal handles!

After the hundreds of Suzhou men finished fighting, they did not disperse, but still gathered and followed the back of Lin Daguan.

Lin Daguan came to the gate of the Zheng family's courtyard again, looking inside affectionately, but the few house slaves in the gate could only tremble and did not dare to greet the guests.

Because behind this guest, there are hundreds of men. I don't know if I'm here to complain about my affection again, or to rob my relatives

Lin Xie Yuan raised his head and shouted into the courtyard: "Swallow! Swallow! Are you still happy? ”

After shouting a few times, Lin Xie Yuan suddenly turned around and shouted at hundreds of people: "The salt merchant Zheng clan deceived me too much, what the villagers said should be!" ”

Hundreds of people responded neatly: "If you are from Suzhou, you won't buy Zheng's salt!" Resolutely resist Zheng's salt! ”

This turn caught the melon-eating crowd watching from afar and the Zheng family slaves peeking in the gate off guard.

It's just a simple love problem, how did it rise to the level of the economy?

Besides, is it so easy to boycott? To put it mildly, the salt area is all conventional, and there is a tacit understanding.

Suzhou Mansion is the Zheng family's salt area, if the Zheng family does not sell, then other salt merchants will not sell salt if they talk about rules or sell face.

If, under the manipulation of the Zheng family, all salt merchants do not sell salt, can the people of Suzhou not eat salt?

As the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou City, the Zheng family has the strength to persuade others to follow the rules.

Besides, Suzhou Mansion is very large, with millions of people in seven or eight prefectures and counties, how capable do you Lin Xie Yuan have to persuade millions of people not to buy the Zheng family's salt?

Therefore, this boycott is really a bit whimsical.

Don't look around~ Just look here, everyone has a guaranteed monthly ticket, just vote! I'm still not in a good state today, and I have something to do, but I promise two more tomorrow and three more the day after tomorrow!

There is another question, if I resign from public office for the sake of code words, will you support me?

I'm a little confused about the future, for the sake of being relatively diligent lately, pull my brother!
