One morning in March, somewhere on the banks of West Lake.
When Xue Tui led Sun Yixie to the construction site, there were already many people surrounding the site, and of course most of them were workers.
Seeing that the Sun family’s young master came in person, everyone consciously made way for a while.
Soon, the two of them walked into the first floor of the restaurant under construction and walked straight to the northwest corner.
"Young Master, look, it's right there..." Xue Tui is now one of the managers of the Sun Mansion, and his name for Sun Yixie has long changed.
Sun Yixiu looked in the direction Mr. Xue pointed, and there was nothing else there, just a pillar.
However, at this moment, on this pillar that was so thick that no one could hold, there was a palm print, and from the palm print as the center, more than ten fine cracks spread towards the pillar.
Sun Yixiu stared at the palm print for a few seconds, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is there anything else besides this? Such as notes or something?"
"No." Xue Tui shook his head, "I have sent someone to search carefully. The rest of the place is still intact. No note was found, and no place was engraved."
"Well..." Sun Yixie responded thoughtfully and said again, "Mr. Xue, what do you think about this?"
Xue Tui had heard about this early this morning, so at this moment, he had already made some inferences in his mind, and he replied without thinking much: "In Xue Mouyu's opinion, this person who keeps his hands... is mostly here to make money."
"Oh? How did you see it?" Sun Yixie was not surprised by the answer, and immediately raised his eyebrows and asked.
This question is not so easy to answer.
Therefore, Xue Tui was silent for a few seconds, reached out to touch his beard, and sorted out his language, then responded: "First of all, this is not like seeking revenge."
"The reason is..." Sun Yixie gestured to the other party and said.
"A person who came for revenge would not do such a high-profile thing, because it would be of no benefit to his next action." Xue Tui replied, "Of course, if this person is confident and thinks he can succeed, he may intimidate in advance to make the other party feel scared..." He paused and changed his subject, "But in that case, he should have left his name or a clue that can represent that grudge, otherwise this intimidation will be meaningless."
"Well, what Mr. Xue said is not bad." Sun Yixie nodded and added while hearing this, "Let's take a step back... If this person comes to seek revenge, he shouldn't have run to this construction site to clap his hands and prints from the beginning, but to my house to take pictures."
"Young Master," Xue Tui followed up with a flattery at the right time.
"Hehe..." Sun Yixie smiled, "Sir, please continue speaking."
Xue Tui's words are indeed not over: "It's not about seeking revenge, but the remaining possibility is nothing more than jealousy or blackmailing..." After saying this, he looked up around, then lowered his voice a little bit and said, "Although our 'Western Lake Elegant Tower' has not been built yet, anyone with discerning eyes should see that when it is completed, it will inevitably affect the business of other restaurants and even brothels in Hangzhou City. Therefore, it is inevitable to cause jealousy and hatred." At this point, he looked at Sun Yixie again and bowed, "But, Mr. Xue thought that with your reputation, power, and reputation in the martial arts world and officials... Even if someone is angry, he dare not hire a martial arts master to come for you like this, so..."
"So..." Sun Yixie took the other party's words and said, "...there is only the possibility of 'extortion', right?"
Xue Tui nodded: "Xue thought that the person who slapped this palm wanted to tell us that as long as he was willing, the project we completed in several months could be destroyed at any time... But he has not done anything at all and left room for anything, so he hopes that we can "know the interest" and choose "break money and eliminate disasters", otherwise the loss will only be greater."
"Oh... it's the same as I thought." Sun Yixie was the truth.
Of course, Brother Sun's thinking process was not as complicated as Xue Tui. He just knew similar routines, so he almost instinctively reacted to this situation when he saw it.
He would ask Xue Tui about his opinion, but he just wanted Xue Tui to prove his conclusion and help him straighten out the logic.
In the market, this activity is called "fire point". What is "fire point"? It's very simple. Rich people are "fire points" in the slander of the world, and those who don't have money are called "water points".
So how to "diggle"? Take the example of this in front of you: Isn't your Sun family going to do a big project? Then those who want to dig this fire can make trouble for you - intercept your building materials, beat your workers, smash things on the construction site to make trouble, etc. The methods are all kinds of, but in short, just make your project unable to continue.
For those who come to make trouble, they only need to put in manpower and time, but for the construction party, every day of delay is a one-day construction cost. If the workers don’t work, you have to pay for it. Can you afford it with them? Instead of spending so much, it’s better to give them some money, so that they spend less, right?
Perhaps some people may think that it is a bastard logic to settle accounts like this.
That's right, this is the logic of bastards. If you want to leave this logic, it's very simple... Whether you look for people from the government or find rogues who are more cruel than them, as long as you settle the matter, you can not give them money. As for whether you give money to people who are not doing things, that's another matter, and the nature is different.
In those days, face, paths, money... you have to take at least one of them, otherwise you will not be able to accomplish a big deal.
Sun Yixie is actually considered to have three things. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have encountered the idea of ​​digging fire. No one knows the rascals in Hangzhou. If you dare to dig up his "head of Chu" in the Sun family today, the young master of the Sun family will dare to invite you to dig up earthworms under the West Lake tomorrow.
However, Hong Wei is not a local... and not an ordinary rogue.
Although he had heard some rumors about Sun and Huang in the world, to be honest, he did not take Sun Yixi, who is less than 20 years old, seriously.
In terms of martial arts, his Hong Wei is equivalent to a top-level master of the sect. In his understanding, it is difficult for people ten years older than him to find a few people who are more skilled than him in the world, let alone those who are younger than him.
As for the "power" of the Sun family... he doesn't care.
Hong Wei was originally a thief in the Yangtze River and a wanted criminal from the court. What can you do if you ask the government officials to come forward? In the end, a constable must win him before he can catch him? In addition, he is alone, without a sect, no relatives and friends to threaten him, and even he is almost gone... He is so sad like this kind of hob meat is really hard to deal with.
At present, Hong Wei wanted to make a comeback from the Sun family, and it was a temporary idea.
Originally, he wanted to continue to do the flower-picking activity when he arrived in Hangzhou. Who would have thought that when he was strolling around the West Lake to find a target that day, several trucks carrying wood were hit by him... Hong Wei could recognize the goods. Since he "let himself go", he was very relaxed and often went to various luxurious consumption places, so he could tell the good things at a glance. Therefore, when he glanced at the time, he realized that the truck was loaded with very expensive good wood, and there were many...
Out of curiosity, Hong Wei found a passerby and asked casually, which wealthy family wants to build a side courtyard?
The passerby glanced at him and said, "Did you come from other places?"
Actually, this is nonsense. Did you come from another place? Don’t you know if you listen to the accent? Even if you don’t listen to the accent, you should know when you hear him ask such a question.
To put it bluntly, this sentence is the standard opening remark... Next, the passerby undoubtedly brags about how rich the Sun family is and how awesome the Sun family is, as if the awesomeness has something to do with him. Then he began to criticize Hongwei, the local buns from other places who came from other places, and even Brother Sun doesn't know you, the fish you have in your life will be in vain.
After hearing this, Hong Wei felt a little angry, but now he will not fire the anger on a passerby; he now sees ordinary people as if they are looking at grass, and even if they kill each other, he will not feel anything. He is neither relieved nor happy, so there is no need for him to kill people.
Then who will he send his fire to? Just Sun Yixie - I heard that you are rich and powerful, right? Well, I just want everyone to see that no matter how rich and powerful you are, you have to listen to me. If I ask you to give money, you have to give it to me.
So that night, Hong Wei sneaked into the "West Lake Elegant Tower" that was still under construction.
At that time, there was no saying "night construction". Even if you want to build at night, there would be no lighting equipment to support you, so when it dark, there would be no people on the construction site.
There are indeed some workers who sleep directly on the floor of the construction site, but there are not many. After all, most of the workers are still locals and have a home to go back.
With Hong Wei's light skills, it was easy to sneak into such a construction site. After he entered, he didn't hesitate and just found a pillar and started.
Hong Wei also knew a lot of the rules of the Tao that he had been a "bad person" for so long, so that night, he only left a "palm" and used slander to say this is called "dumping the ball", that is, to first hint at what you and I did.
Some scoundrels who don’t know how to “dump” don’t know how to make a big fuss when they come back to their doors, and demolish the entire building... Then, if you do this, they might just cancel the project. How can you “dig” them?
Hong Wei would not make this mistake. After leaving this palm, he took a walk before the workers who woke up from the noise saw him.
Chapter completed!
