Chapter 551 Arrested
Bald Li looked stunned, but in his heart he disagreed.
He naturally knew that the main backer behind the Taiping Society was Xiahou, the Prime Minister, but Qingyi Hall also had Princess Sheyue's backing. In the small Buzhuang, even if the owner was a member of the Xiahou family, Qingyi Hall would not be afraid at all.
Although the Taiping Society and Tsing Yi Tang are backed by powerful nobles, these two gangs are nothing more than small tools in the eyes of these two noble people. Of course, they will not really stand up for the street gangs easily.
Even if the Xiahou family really stood up, Bald Li believed that Princess Sheyue would never sit idly by.
"Wu Tianbao, do you think you can scare me with just a few words?" Bald Li didn't buy Wu Tianbao's blame, and sneered: "I advise you to leave Huaizhenfang as soon as possible, otherwise you will get your head smashed inexplicably later.
, but don’t blame me for not persuading you to leave.”
Tsing Yi Tang and the Taiping Association are incompatible with each other, and the two sides have fought many times over the years. Bald Li will naturally not make excuses for Wu Tianbao.
With a smile on his face, Wu Tianbao was even a little gloating about his misfortune. He ignored Bald Li, raised his hands to Shopkeeper Ge, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ge, we have a great business today. Wu is here to support us and to cheer us up!"
Shopkeeper Ge looked at the mess on the ground and sighed: "Second Master Wu, the shop is in such a state. It seems that business is not going to be good today."
"It doesn't matter." Wu Tianbao smiled and said, "Whoever ruined these pieces of cloth and silk can just buy them at the market price."
Bald Li sneered, took two steps forward, deliberately stepped on the silk, looked at Wu Tianbao with a provocative look, and did not look at Shopkeeper Ge, but said coldly: "What should I do if I don't buy it?"
"Then we can only report to the official." Wu Tianbao sighed: "Under the emperor's feet, is there really anyone who dares to bully others?"
The bald Li Yi was startled and cursed in his heart, thinking that your Taiping Society had done a lot of bullying over the years and did not directly argue with Wu Tianbao. He looked sideways at Ge Cheng and sneered: "You want to report to the official? That's great.
"I'm sitting here waiting for you to report to the official position. If you don't report to the official position today, I will burn your shop down." He turned back to the chair, sat down, and said to his subordinates: "Keep picking up the cloth!"
Those people in green clothes did not waste any time, they rushed over and even pulled down the cloth and satin from the cabinet shelf. Some even ran to bring buckets of water and poured water on the satin.
The people watching the excitement outside the door naturally knew that Buzhuang was in big trouble today and did not dare to get close, but they were reluctant to leave and watched the excitement from a distance.
Suddenly they heard the sound of footsteps, and everyone looked over and saw a group of people coming quickly on the street. One person was riding a horse at the front, followed by more than a dozen officers, all like wolves and tigers. People stepped back one after another to give way.
Go out of the way and don't dare to block it.
The group stopped in front of the gate of Buzhuang. The official on horseback glanced inside Buzhuang. Bald Li naturally saw an official appearing on the street outside the gate and winked at his subordinates.
Two members of the Tsing Yi gang immediately walked to the door of Buzhuang, crossed their arms, raised their necks slightly, and looked coldly at the officials on the street.
The equestrian officer suddenly dismounted, straightened his clothes, and pursed his lips. The dozen or so officers under him immediately rushed forward and blocked the gate of the cloth village.
The two Tsing Yi gang members certainly looked stunned, and even the people from nearby shops who came to watch the excitement also had their eyes wide open.
These people have been operating in Huaizhenfang City for many years, and they know that no one dares to provoke the people of Qingyitang. Over the years, the Qingyitang gang has bullied shops in the market, and the Kyoto patrol officers will stay away when they see them, even if they bump into them head-on.

That's just pretending to be blind and drifting away.
Everyone thought that when the officers saw the two members of the Tsing Yi Tang gang standing in front of the door, they would take notice and leave. However, they never expected that instead of leaving, these officers stepped forward and blocked the door.
Bald Li was also greatly surprised. He stood up and saw Wu Tianbao walking to the side of the chair and sitting down with a smile on his face. He looked at him with warning and teasing eyes.
Li Sanye vaguely felt that something was wrong, and then he saw that the official had walked into the cloth village.
Shopkeeper Ge immediately stepped forward to greet you, cupped his hands and said, "Sir!"
The official nodded slightly and said, "I am the official Feixin of Dali Temple. I happened to pass by here. What's going on here?" After speaking, he pointed to the scattered cloth and satin.
Shopkeeper Ge glanced at Bald Li and stopped talking.
Bald Li frowned, hesitated, and raised his hands to Fei Xin: "Master Fei, this is Qingyi Hall...?"
“Are you from Qingyi Hall?” Before Bald Li could finish speaking, Feixin interrupted and asked.
"Exactly." Bald Li showed a smile, but he was still a little uneasy. If someone from Kyoto Prefecture or Wuwei Camp came today, he would never be uneasy at all. Even if someone from the Punishment Department came, he would not be uneasy at all.
Won't panic.
But these officials are from Dali Temple, so things are not simple.
Even half a month ago, Bald Li would have been dismissive when he heard that the other party was from Dali Temple, but the Dali Temple now is completely different from the Dali Temple half a month ago.
The people in Qingyi Hall are not only very well-informed about the market news, they are also very aware of some changes in the officialdom. Qin Xiao was transferred from the Ministry of War to Dali Temple and was promoted several levels. Naturally, Qingyi Hall knew everything about it and was once worried about it.
Qin Xiao will find Qing Yi Tang to continue seeking revenge.
However, after Qin Xiao was transferred to Dali Temple, he seemed to have forgotten Qingyi Hall, which relieved Bald Li, who had been very nervous a while ago.
Buzhuang opened today. Before he came, he had thought about whether he wanted to cause trouble here. If he thought about it carefully, Jiang Qianxing's death had already dampened the power of Qingyi Hall. If he left the new store without any action, it would only be more people.
No matter how you look down on it, today's group is also letting others see that the glory of Tsing Yi Hall is still there.
But it happened that he met someone from Dali Temple today. Bald Li always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment.
Faxin nodded and asked, "What's going on here?"
Bald Li moved his lips but said nothing, but he saw that Ge Cheng had already knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down his face: "Please make the decision, please make the decision."
“What do you want to do?” Feixin walked over and sat down on the chair where Bald Li Gang had done.
"The trumpet opened today. These people broke into the store, destroyed the fabrics and satin, and forced me to pay them money every month." Ge Cheng burst into tears and said, "This... this
Mr. Li San also said that if we don't hand over one hundred taels of silver today, we will burn down the cloth village. I am running a small business to support my family, but I really can't afford that much silver. Please help me."
Bald Li sneered and said: "Old man, you are such a mouthful. When did I tell you to pay money? And when did I say that I would burn down the cloth shop?" He handed over to Feixing and said: "Sir, the cloth shop is open for business, I am just taking care of it.
People came in to buy cloth to support him, but he actually slandered and slandered him, asking you to make the decision and severely punish the profiteers."
“You all insist on your own opinions, whose words should I believe?” Feixing
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He sighed: "Do you have any witnesses to testify for you?"
"Sir, Wu Tianbao, a grassroots citizen, happened to pass by here today and saw the cloth store opening, so he came in to take a look and happened to see everything that happened inside." Wu Tianbao came forward, raised his hands and said solemnly: "What the shopkeeper said is indeed true.
Li Xin brought people into the store to extort money, damaged the cloth, and made threats. This is what happened just now. Not only Cao Min, but also the friends brought by Cao Min saw it clearly. If necessary, Cao Min
You can be a witness."
Bald Li’s heart sank.
He had previously wondered why Wu Tianbao suddenly came here with his people, but now he finally understood that Wu Tianbao was the one who came to testify.
From this point of view, the opening of the Cloth Shop today is a trap. Wu Tianbao knew in advance that Tsing Yi Tang would come to make trouble, so he played the role of a witness in this trap.
After all, the common people in the city are afraid of Qing Yi Tang's cruelty. Even if they witness it with their own eyes, they dare not come forward to testify against Qing Yi Tang.
"Sir, they... they also beat people." Shopkeeper Ge said aggrievedly: "The old man's face was red because of them, and the guy...!" Xiang the man who was kicked down before
The waiter on the ground waved, and the waiter hurriedly came over and cleverly pulled up his clothes, exposing his waist. The previous kick was so heavy that his waist turned blue.
"Sir, he is Wu Tianbao from the Taiping Association." Bald Li was worried, pointing at Wu Tianbao and said: "The Taiping Association and our Qingyi Hall are incompatible with each other. What he says must not be believed?"
"Why are the Taiping Society and the Tsing Yi Hall so incompatible?" Feixin sat on a chair, stroking his beard and said calmly: "They are incompatible. There must be a conflict of interests. What is your conflict of interests?"
Bald Li Yi was startled, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The two major gangs have existed in Kyoto for many years, and they all compete for money that cannot be put on the table, such as collecting protection fees from the city, such as collecting river fees. If it were other small gangs, once the government investigates, they will definitely
It's a grave sin.
Just because the two major gangs have the support of noble people, the government dare not interfere. However, if these things really need to be put on the line, and the government really wants to punish the crimes, they will be speechless.
"Even if you really have a dispute, it doesn't mean you can't be a witness." Feixin stood up slowly and said coldly: "Extortion, beating innocent people, and oppressing the people in the clear sky and in broad daylight. This is a bandit's behavior. How can you be tolerated under the emperor's feet?
Are there such crazy robbers? Come here and tie these people up."
The executioners of Dali Temple were well prepared. Feixin gave the order, and more than a dozen executioners rushed forward like wolves and tigers, fearing that they would be slower than others.
Dali Temple has been under strict control recently, and many people have been expelled from Dali Temple. Mr. Xiao Qin made it very clear that those who can do things should stay, and those who can't should get out as soon as possible. If you don't do your best at this time, you will fall behind others.
Maybe he will be kicked out of Dali Temple next.
Bald Li wanted to resist, but he thought that these people were the executioners of Dali Temple. If he really resisted, he might be charged with rebellion immediately. He and his subordinates could only let the executioners of Dali Temple kidnap them. However,
Not daring in his heart, he stared at Fei Xin and said: "Master Fei, we are from Tsing Yi Hall, you...you helped the Taiping Association suppress Tsing Yi Hall, have you thought about the consequences?"
Feixin walked up to Bald Li, stared at Bald Li with his eyes, and said word by word: "There is no Taiping Association Tsing Yi Hall here. Gangsters oppress the people, and they should be investigated and punished. So what if you are from the Tsing Yi Hall?
