Chapter 225: Find the Chamber of Commerce
The merchant reluctantly left.
"Hmph, ignorant thing." Wang Zhong looked at the merchants who went out and said disdainfully.
Soon, the merchants who bought the royal linen cloth found that their cloth was blistered, and they all found the royal cloth shop to ask for an explanation, but Wang Zhong's statement was the same as before, that is, it was impossible to lose money, and he would sue if he loved it.
And these people found the Wannian County Yamen to complain, but they had no evidence, no physical evidence, and no contract.
Even if the Grand Duke of Wannian County is selfless, there is no way to judge, not to mention that the county magistrate of Wannian County is still an official of the family.
Just when everyone was at a loss and was about to admit that they were unlucky, someone among the businessmen said: "We can go to the First Chamber of Commerce of Datang to find King Ji, didn't we say that if someone cheated us, the Chamber of Commerce would take care of it?" ”
"yes, why did you forget this, I joined the club a long time ago."
"Then let's go check it out."
After speaking, there were more than 20 people in the crowd who walked towards the First Chamber of Commerce of Datang.
The remaining seventy or eighty people are all foreign merchants who have not joined the Chamber of Commerce, but some people proposed: "Let's go and take a look, they all say that His Royal Highness King Ji is benevolent and righteous, maybe he can help us, this time I will be put in thousands of times." ”
"But we didn't join the Chamber of Commerce."
"Don't care so much about it now, let's see if we can take care of them first."
"Yes, let's take a look, in case His Royal Highness King Ji can help us,"
A group of people also followed to the First Chamber of Commerce of Datang.
"Are you here to join the club or do you need help?" As soon as the twenty or so people who walked first walked into the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, someone took the initiative to entertain them.
A businessman who looked a little older said stubbornly: "That, we are members of the Chamber of Commerce, and we bought a batch of linen cloth at Wang's house yesterday.
The result was blistered, we went to him to return the goods, the Wang family did not return, Wannian County said that we don't have a certificate and don't care, I don't know if the Chamber of Commerce can help us get the money back. ”
He was also a little worried that the Chamber of Commerce would ignore the matter because they did not have a certificate, and he was also worried that the Chamber of Commerce would not want to offend the Wang family.
"Oh, it's a fraud case, rest assured that as long as you are a member of the Chamber of Commerce, after we verify that what you said is true, we will take care of it, you go inside first to verify the identity of your member."
When these twenty or so members entered the room to verify their identities, the other seventy or eighty people also arrived, and after seeing this, the staff of this chamber of commerce stepped forward enthusiastically and asked: "I don't know what you have to do with us, whether you are joining the members, or what you have to do." ”
A businessman in the lead stood up, looking like a Hu merchant, with a burly figure, a big square face, full of hair, and a beard.
"May I ask where the more than 20 people who just came have gone?"
"I'm sorry, but we don't disclose the member's information." The staff still had a professional smile.
"We are with them, they say they are members of your Chamber of Commerce, we are all deceived together, they are here to ask you for help. We just want to see how you guys handle this. The Hu businessman continued
"Since they are our members, if this matter is true, our Chamber of Commerce will naturally help them get justice, you don't have to worry."
As he spoke, the twenty or so people walked out after verifying their identities. He was followed by several men dressed in black.
They are all embroidered with the words of the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty on their chests, and the first person is Si Siwenwen, who is the vice president and the son of Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
Next to Zhang Yi was a tall young man, Qin Huaidao, the son of Qin Qiong, the Duke of Hu. One article and one martial arts, this is the standard duty configuration required by Li Shen. The reasonable is literary, and the unreasonable is martial.
Everyone basically knows everything about Chang'an, otherwise they will accidentally collide with it one day.
Zhang Yi looked at more than two dozen and said, "Let's go, let's go to Wang's cloth shop." ”
Saying that, the two of them walked out of the door with Qin Huaidao first, and the others followed behind, and went straight to the Wang family's cloth shop.
"The shopkeeper is not good, the group of merchants is here again," the man rushed to the back house to report to the king.
"It's coming, what's the panic, this group of untouchables can still turn the sky upside down, wait for me to take a look." Although Wang Zhong is a shopkeeper, as a member of the Wang family, what is written on the household registration is not a cheap one.
"The shopkeeper is different this time. One of them is Zhang Yi, the eldest son of Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun, and Qin Huaidao, the eldest son of the Qin Qiong family of the Duke of Hu, "The man reminded
"What, what are they doing here, is there a merchant in them?" With that, he hurried forward.
When Wang Zhong came to the antechamber, he saw a room full of people. And Zhang Yi and Qin Huaidao were sitting next to them, and the next person had already served tea.
"Among the kings, he is the shopkeeper of the Wang family's cloth shop, I don't know why the two Langjun are here today." Wang Zhong asked respectfully, it's not that the Wang family is afraid, it's that he is afraid. If these two gentlemen beat him, the family would not fight to the death with the two princes for him.
"Shopkeeper Wang, in fact, it's nothing, our members of the First Chamber of Commerce of Datang came to us today to ask for help, saying that your Wang family cloth shop uses inferior linen cloth to sell as high-grade linen.
Now I look for you to return the goods, but you still don't give them back. What's wrong with your Wang family at the feet of the Son of Heaven?
Or do you look down on our Datang First Chamber of Commerce, thinking that we are all vegetarians? "As the son of a civil official, the first person to fire was Zhang Yi.
"Zhang Jialangjun, the linen cloth they bought from us is not fake, but at that time, we ordered the goods on the side, and then cleared the goods and goods, if the goods were not right, why didn't they say it at that time.
Wang suspected that they were deliberately blackmailing me home. "Wang Zhong has been the shopkeeper for so many years, and he has never seen anything. Although these two people are second-generation disciples, Wang Zhong will not give in in front of interests.
"Hehe, what I said is reasonable, but just now we checked one by one, and all the cloth was blistered.
Could it be such a coincidence, these people did it together, do you think they are helpless and dare to blackmail your royal family? Zhang Yi sneered.
"It's hard to say whether this was instructed by someone, but since the money and goods are clear, our Wang family will not be responsible." Wang Zhong's attitude is also very tough.
"So it seems that you are ready to deny it? You should know who is the president behind the Datang First Chamber of Commerce.
We still have a discussion with you today, if King Ji comes, what do you think will happen to him.
I advise you to think clearly, our Chamber of Commerce will not embarrass you, the original price is double the compensation, we only have more than 20 members, and we can't control others who are not our members. Zhang Yi's obviously threatening words made Wang Zhong hesitate.
