Chapter 143 Brothers are ruthless (for jiuniu old friends
"I have the final say here. I will do what's fine or not..."
Fan Xian'an looked at the second shopkeeper who was blocking him and cursed while pushing the person away. However, before he finished speaking, the sound of the Kumen being knocked open suddenly sounded behind him, and then a familiar voice sounded.
"What are you going to do?"
"Fan Yong, why are you here?"
Fan Xian'an turned around and saw that his cousin was looking at him with a gloomy look. Behind him were spear-holding soldiers wearing black clothes, with round waists and big arms and expressionless faces, looking very scary.
Looking at Fan Xian'an who was still complacent and calm, Fan Yong was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and said straight, "Take it down for me."
"You, what are you going to do? Fan Yong, you are just a slave, and you dare to treat me..."
Looking at the two black-clad men walking towards him, Fan Xian'an became panicked and screamed loudly, but Li Ergou, who came forward, didn't care about the beauty of the Fan family's shopkeeper, and directly slapped him in the face and cursed, "I'll kill you if you shout again!"
At this time, Fan Xian'an finally realized that all his tricks were useless. His face was stunned by the beating and his facial features soon shook into pieces, and his whole body was dragged out by Li Ergou and the others like a dead dog.
The second shopkeeper who had previously dissuaded Fan Xian'an a few times was also scared to see this scene, but fortunately Fan Yong was not too cold to him, but instead stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You were very good just now. I will report the situation to the master, and I will not implicate you."
Hearing Fan Yong's promise, the second shopkeeper from other surnamed suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, Manager Fan."
After trembling, the second shopkeeper from the foreign surname followed Fan Yong out of the warehouse, then looked at the strange black-clad soldier who was guarding the warehouse door, and couldn't help asking, "Manager Fan, what are these?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't."
Fan Yong glanced at the second shopkeeper of the other surnamed Han, and then the latter immediately shut up, otherwise he would ask another word.
Along the way, what Manager Han saw was the servants in the entire business, and they were all woken up and rushed to the warehouse to gather. Even the chef and groom did not leave. Seeing Fan Xian'an being dragged all the way in front, like a dead fish, he knew in his heart that the business was about to change.
Manager Han knew a little bit about Fan Xian'an's actions, but Fan Xian'an was always the Fan family and the big shopkeeper here. He was a second shopkeeper from another surname, so he could only pretend to be confused. But he didn't expect that the master would come to deal with this matter so soon. "Even if this is the Fan family, I'm afraid..."
Thinking of Fan Xian'an's fate, Manager Han was a little chilled. He also heard a lot about the master in his business. It is said that although the master was young, he was a genius in the business world. Many old foxes in many businesses were in his hands, and they acted ruthlessly. Few people in Suidezhou dared to offend this master.
A group of people were soon crowded with black people on the snowy yard. At this time, there were torches and lanterns, illuminating the surroundings as far and near as daytime. Most of the guys at Fanji Store in Shenmu County did not know the master Fan Xiu'an, but Fan Yong and the others knew him and knew him as a confidant around the master.
When most of the guys saw Fan Xian'an being dragged out like a dead dog by two black armored soldiers, they were stunned. You should know that although their shopkeeper was not very capable, he was usually very good at showing off his might. If they made mistakes, they would beat and scold him at all. Now, seeing his wretched dog-like appearance, he was very happy.
Around the cargo yard, Li Ergou and Wang Ding stood separately with their servants in the team and watched everyone.
In the crowd, the few people who were attracted by Fan Xian'an were all trembling at this time, with pale faces and sweating on their foreheads. How could they not know what Fan Xian'an did? Now, the great master Fan Xiu'an suddenly appeared in the middle of the night and brought such elite servants. Who would naively think that he was just here to act?
"Plop!"
Finally, someone couldn't resist the pressure, and his legs weakened and he knelt on the ground. At this time, Fan Xiu'an's eyes swept over them, so three of them fell to their knees in the snow.
"Master, it's not our business. This is the shopkeeper's idea!"
Mixing sand into military rations is a taboo. The Fan family has its own rules for how to punish the food merchants. No one wants to die, so they can only push the blame to Fan Xian'an, the Fan family.
Fan Xian'an, who was dragged and still as if he was like a dead dog, heard a few confidants crying and begging for mercy, and even pushed the blame on him, he also struggled and cursed hoarsely, "Who did you guys come up with the idea at the beginning, now it's all up to me!"
"Shopkeeper, if you weren't greedy, we wouldn't follow your words, who would have ended up with you!"
"Don't let your shit,..."
Looking at Fan Xian'an and his three confidants who suddenly started to quarrel and scold, Fan Xiu'an felt the blue veins on the back of his hand rushing, and he wanted to lift a knife and kill these stupid people immediately. The Fan family has been cautious for several generations of business, for fear of making mistakes. They would dare to do such a thing for the sake of not having a thousand tricks.
"Brother Fan, killing without teaching is called abuse. We must let everyone know what they have done?"
Gao Jin's voice sounded in Fan Xiu'an's ears, calming him down. These dogs and things must die, and no one of them could live. However, before that, as Gao Jin said, he wanted to let the merchant know what stupid things Fan Xian'an and the others did.
"Shut them up."
Hearing Fan Xiu'an's orders, the servants who were holding Fan Xian'an and others looked at Gao Jin. After Gao Jin nodded, they slapped the other people so hard that they did not dare to make any sound.
"You all know who I am!"
Fan Xiu'an looked at the businessmen around him, his voice low, but it was enough for everyone to hear it clearly, "Three days ago, Master, I was still visiting friends in Hekou Fort, but I never thought that more than half of the batch of old grains transported from you were mixed with sand..."
They are all old friends from Fanji Store, so how could they not know what Fan Xiu'an meant? They transported the same batch of Chen grain to Shenmuwei's military warehouse not long ago. Obviously, this batch of Chen grain was probably also passively mixed with sand and soil.
The grain merchants and the imperial court and local garrisons had a tacit understanding. The guys working below were not clear, but everyone knew the rules of the master's family. This was a sin that mixing sand into military rations was a real demerit for being beaten to death.
Looking at the shopkeeper and the three managers kneeling on the ground, some of the remaining staff at Fanji Store in Shenmu County, knelt down with pale faces. They were responsible for pouring sand into the grain at the time. But who would have thought that this matter would be exposed so quickly, and it also caused the master to come and investigate in person.
Seeing the companions who were kneeling down beside them, the other friends didn’t know what these companions did!
"Okay, it seems that you still know what you have done. Have you ever thought that what you did will involve everyone. If something happens, everyone will have to lose their heads with you."
Fan Xiu'an's voice was cold, and the other guys who were still standing were shocked. If the matter was not so serious, why would the master come overnight?
"Brother, brother, I was confused for a moment. The lard was so funny that you could spare me this time!"
Among the kneeling people, Fan Xian'an suddenly started shouting. Others don't know about his cousin. Could it be that he still doesn't know that this cousin is clearly tempted to kill! He explained to the friend below that he was going to kill them!
"Brother!"
Hearing Fan Xian'an's name to him, Fan Xiu'an's face, which was elegant and handsome, was immediately distorted. He could no longer help but feel angry. He rushed to Fan Xian'an in a few steps and kicked him in the face, "Just like you, a traitor, is not as good as a dog. If it weren't for the uncle's face, I would have killed you long ago, so as not to harm my Fan family now."
After Fan Xiu'an kicked her, she still couldn't relieve her hatred and continued to punch and kick Fan Xian'an curled up on the ground. Fan Xian'an did not dare to resist, but was beaten to the point of begging for mercy, "Good Master, go for life, go for life."
"Brother Fan, let's save his life."
Gao Jin watched Fan Xiu'an fight again, but Fan Xian'an was afraid that he would really explain on the spot, so he had to step forward and hold Fan Xiu'an down.
"If it weren't for Brother Gao's sake, you can see that I wouldn't beat you, a dog, to death."
Fan Xiu'an cursed angrily, but he did not continue to beat Fan Xian'an. Instead, he said to Fan Yong, "Take him down first, change his clothes and clean him."
"Yes, Master."
Fan Yong accepted the order and two servants from the business company carried Fan Xian'an away with him. Although his face was covered in blood, Fan Xian'an, who was beaten, still said to Fan Xiu'an with his tongue, "Mr. Xie is for not killing me."
Fan Xiu'an didn't say anything with a blue face. Although he wanted to kill this stupid worm, the stupid worm was useful at the moment and could only save him a life. However, at this time, he looked at the kneeling managers and friends.
Fan Xiu'an glanced coldly, and the three managers kowtowed like pounding garlic. Fan Xian'an saved his life, but they were not surnamed Fan. What else could they do if they didn't beg for mercy at this time?
However, Fan Xiu'an ignored these officials and looked at the dozen or so knelt on the trembling guys, "Although you are just following your orders, the business has its own rules, and the crime of death can be avoided, but the crime of life cannot be escaped. I took off their clothes, each of them whipped ten whips, and worked as a coolie for half a year. Are you convinced?"
"Mr. Xie is kind, Master Xie is kind!"
When they heard that they were just whipping ten whips and working as a coolie for half a year, the ten guys quickly shouted. Gao Jin saw Fan Xiu'an's handling of this, and he nodded secretly. These guys were all at the bottom, and they just obeyed the orders. After Fan Xian'an's orders and the managers, can they disobey?
