Xiao Cui frowned, put her hands on her chest, her face was bulging, and her eyes were dissatisfied. She looked at the customers and said bluntly: "Although I have to compensate you now, I have just discussed it with you with kind words. Your arrogant and unreasonable attitude is really annoying! We open the door to do business and pay attention to peace as the most important thing. How can we be bullied like this?"
At this moment, Zhao Gang and Wenxuan took Han Donglai and a few others into the house.
Wang Er was originally full of irritability and restless. When he looked up at this scene, he stepped forward to Han Donglai several steps. His eyes seemed to be trying to eat people. He stared at him fiercely and shouted at him, "Han Donglai, look at the good things you did! You have caused us a lot! You swear to everyone to come and cause trouble for this store, saying that we can make a fortune. But who would have thought that the boss had something to do with the Prime Minister! Now that the matter is getting big, can we provoke the Prime Minister? Once the investigation is made, the country is so strict that we will not be able to take it. We are afraid that we will pay our lives. Are you obviously going to kill me?"
Han Donglai was scolded by this, his face turned red and white, like an eggplant beaten by frost. He stammered his lips and said for a long time, "I, I didn't expect this to happen." His voice was as low as a mosquito and flies.
The other people who were traveling with him also showed resentment and surrounded him and accused Han Donglai.
"You just like to mess around, now you're so lucky to drag everyone into the water!"
There was a quarrel in the house for a while, and there was only Zhao Gang and Wenxuan standing aside, watching coldly, as if waiting to see how their farce ended.
Han Donglai felt hatred in his heart as wild grass as wild grass, and he secretly cursed Wang Er for being a spineless pustule. In just a few words, he was frightened by the bamboo tubes and poured beans into a bamboo tube, causing all the trouble. Now, they all fell into the passive quagmire.
Thinking of this trouble, several people paid for it and worked hard. They originally hoped to get some benefits from this store, but they didn't get the benefits, but instead made them look slutty and were full of cowardly.
But he didn't dare to express this resentment to his mouth. He could only suppress his anger and be careful. He explained stutteringly: "Everyone, I really didn't know that this shop had something to do with the prime minister before. I also sounded jealous and pulled everyone up as soon as my head heated up. Who would have expected that I would have made such a big mistake? Now in this situation, I regretted it so much."
As he said that, he even looked at Wenxuan and Zhao Gang. Seeing that the two looked cold and their eyes were like swords, they hurriedly lowered their heads, and their foreheads were filled with cold sweat, and they looked pitiful, but they were still thinking about whether they could find a gap and break free from this difficult predicament.
Zhao Gang raised his sword eyebrows, looked at Han Donglai with a look of a torch, and said in a deep voice: "You should admit it completely now, don't be lucky and try to make excuses."
Han Donglai's head drooped, like an eggplant made from frost, his face full of depressedness, nodded helplessly, with a little begging.
"I admit it, we have accepted it. My bosses and I will definitely compensate the store for the losses at the price, hoping to settle the matter."
Wenxuan frowned and hugged his chest with his hands, his tone was cold and hard.
"Compensation at the price? I think it's so beautiful! Your misconduct today has caused chaos in my store, business has stopped, and reputation has also been damaged. It must be ten times the compensation."
Han Donglai widened his eyes, and his forehead was so anxious that his veins bulged.
"Miss Wen, this is not something we can do. We are all small businesses and we have made a difficult profit. This ten times the compensation is simply to force us to the dead end, and we can't even make up our family's entire fortune."
At this time, several customers who witnessed the whole process also gathered around, full of resentment, and shouted at the top of their voice: "Hmph, why don't you consider other people's feelings when you are in a shop? You are smashing things and being arrogant, and now you know it's too late to be complained about. You have to have a long memory and accept the punishment."
Han Donglai and others looked at each other with bitter faces, and wanted to plead again, but looking at the unquestionable expressions of everyone, they swallowed the words back to their mouths, and they were full of regret that they had acted recklessly, but they didn't know how to get through this difficulty.
Chen Hu was straight and looked cold, and said loudly: "Since Miss Wenxuan asked for ten times the compensation after speaking, there was no room for negotiation and he had to do so."
When Han Donglai and his friends heard this, their faces instantly collapsed into bitter melon. They were reluctant, but they did not dare to disobey. They looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness and bitterness, so they could only nod their heads like a chicken pecking at rice.
Chen Hu then turned to Wenxuan, his tone was a little gentle, and asked, "Miss Wenxuan, do you have any other demands?"
As soon as these words were said, Han Donglai felt his heart in his throat, and he was crying secretly, saying in his heart, "Grandma, stop asking for it anymore", and cold sweat burst out from his forehead.
He stared at Wenxuan nervously, his body trembling slightly, for fear that some fatal conditions would pop out of her mouth, which would completely lose their day to turn over.
Wenxuan had already decided to do nothing else to punish, but Chen Hu's question made her think of it. He raised his eyebrows and said crisply: "It's true! We have to let these people kneel down at the gate of Youzhou City, and carefully explain to everyone the situation of provoking trouble today. It can be considered as giving me a clear name to make this store a promotion."
When Han Donglai heard this, his face turned pale and his hands folded and begged bitterly.
"Miss Wen, a soldier can be killed and not humiliated! We are also well-known figures in this city. If you kneel at the gate of the city, you will never have the face to be a human being in the future. How can you do business? Please be proud of yourself, and you must not do this!"
Seeing this, Wenxuan sneered on the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of contempt.
"Hmph, you still have the face to negotiate terms now? You don't look at the good things you did! I didn't send you to jail directly after making such a mistake. It's already a blessing from outside the law. Since I said that if you want to do this, you must do it as you do, and there is no need to discuss it!"
Zhao Gang stood beside him with his chest in his arms, nodding slightly to agree.
"You should accept punishment first when you do evil. Miss Wen's request is reasonable, so don't delay or cheat."
Han Donglai was full of despair and knew that no matter how hard he struggled this time, he would probably not be able to escape this severe punishment. He could only sigh in secret that he was not lucky and regretted that he should not have acted recklessly.
At this moment, the owners seemed to be ignited powder kegs. The resentment that had been holding on for a long time erupted instantly and glared at Han Donglai.
One of them blushed and shouted, "Han Donglai, it's all your fault! We have to make an appointment to do this foolish thing. Now, I have lost a lot of money and my family is almost empty. I have to follow you to the city gate to kneel down and show my shame. How can I look up in this city in the future?"
The other one was also full of annoyance and agreed: "That's right, you used to pat your chest to make a promise, but now you're dragging us all into this fire pit!"
Han Donglai was already angry, and after listening to the accusations, he also burst into tears and widened his eyes and shouted: "What's the use of complaining about me? When we first discussed this, we nodded and agreed one by one. We were so happy that we wanted to share the benefits, but now it's all mine?"
The few people said something and said something, and the noise was flying everywhere, and the atmosphere in the store became more and more noisy and chaotic.
Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, waved his hand impatiently, and shouted, "You have to go out and quarrel! Don't cause trouble here. My shop has just suffered a disaster, but I don't have the intention to watch your farce again."
When several people heard this, their bodies stagnated, but they could only shut up.
Wenxuan's eyes turned, looked at the frightened customers, with a gentle smile on his face, and said sincerely: "Everyone, I'm really sorry for this incident in the store today. It scared everyone for no reason and disturbed everyone's interest. Please rest assured that there will be compensation, but I have to wait until these guys who are dying to get all the money and accept the punishment. I will make proper arrangements for everyone immediately, so that everyone will not suffer any losses."
The customers were a little nervous, but they immediately smiled happily when they heard this and bowed and praised them.
An old man looked grateful and said tremblingly: "Miss Wen, you are so kind-hearted. We thought we had to admit that we were unlucky in this matter, but we didn't expect you to be thinking about compensation. It's really a female Bodhisattva who has come down to earth!"
Others also agreed.
"That's right, this kind of justice is so rare, a girl is kind and righteous!"
"With your words, our fright is not in vain. We will come to you in the future!"
Wenxuan thanked him one by one, thinking about the follow-up in his mind, and he would definitely end this storm successfully and earn a good reputation for the store.
Zhao Gang frowned, stared at Han Donglai like a knife, and said in a deep voice: "Since you should pay compensation, don't be too slow, hurry up and raise the money. You can pay it within one hour. If you dare to be sloppy and don't pay it over the deadline, don't blame us for being merciless."
Chen Hu took a step forward, raised his head and his chest, and his voice was like a loud bell.
"Miss Wen's shop is blessed by the Prime Minister. If you dare to be ill-telled about this place in the future and make any offensive moves, it is to openly oppose the Prime Minister and consider how many brains can bear the consequences!"
Han Donglai's body was shaking like a sieve, his head was like a chicken pecking at rice, and his face was full of panic.
"I dare not, and I will never dare to be an enemy of Miss Wen again. This time I regretted it so much that I was so sad. Let's go back now and sell the money and prepare the money."
After saying that, he led several dirty bosses out of the door in a hurry.
Xiao Cui looked at their backs with a worried look on her face. She leaned close to Wenxuan and said softly: "Miss, will they wear oil on their feet and run away privately?"
Wenxuan had a confident smile on his lips.
"Don't worry, monks can't run away from the temple. They have families and careers in this city, and their foundation is still there. If they don't have the courage to escape, we have their own way to deal with it."
Wenxuan was full of joy and thought that he would share this joy with Xi Yu. He immediately reminded Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, just wait here. After those guys sent the money, he would take out part of it and share it with the frightened customers today. The rest should be properly placed. I am going to find the Prime Minister now."
Chen Hu and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and Chen Hu said, "Miss Wen, go first. Let's handle the rest of the matter here before leaving."
Wenxuan nodded gratefully, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said sincerely: "Thanks to you two of you who are righteous and righteous, I have recorded this kindness today."
Zhao Gang quickly waved his hand, his face full of humility, and said aloud: "Miss Wen, where is this? You and the Prime Minister are good friends. It is our honor to be able to do things for you."
Chen Hu bowed to Wenxuan, and said with a serious and determined look: "Miss Wenxuan, don't worry, go first. We will be escorting those beasts. When the days arrive, we will take them to the city gate and let them do what you said, and never give them the chance to escape or cheat."
Wenxuan heard that his eyes were full of trust. After thanking the two of them again, he no longer delayed. He lifted his skirt and hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and kept working all the way.
The figure soon disappeared at the end of the street, leaving only Chen Hu and Zhao Gang looking at each other, and began to arrange the follow-up guards and related matters related to the store.
Make sure everything goes as planned and put a perfect end to the storm.
Wenxuan quickly walked to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as she entered the mansion, she saw Xi Yu sitting in the hall. A bright smile immediately appeared on her face and said with a crisp voice: "I thought you were out again, but I didn't expect you to be at home."
Xi Yu raised his eyes and saw that it was Wenxuan. His eyes were filled with surprise. He stood up and greeted her, looked at the happy look on her face, and asked jokingly, "Why are you so happy? I'm still wondering, is it that someone really went to your store to make trouble, and then you solved the problem successfully, or is it that nothing happened at all. Did you tease me on purpose?"
Wen Xuan snorted lightly, pulled Xi Yu to sit down, and then explained everything that happened in the store. When he asked the proprietors who made trouble to compensate ten times and had to kneel down at the city gate, his face was full of joy and clapped his hands, "Hmph, don't be too relieved. Those guys are used to being arrogant on weekdays, so he has to treat them well this time."
Xi Yu couldn't help laughing as he heard this, reached out and pointed Wenxuan's nose, and joked: "Your move is too harmful. Let them kneel down at the city gate. In the future, they may not even be able to raise their heads in this city."
Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, hugged his chest with his hands, and said with confidence: "I just want to make such anger. Who told them to come to my shop to act wildly and not give them some good looks, and they really think I'm easy to bully."
Xi Yu smiled helplessly and shook his head, but his eyes were full of doting. He accompanied Wenxuan to continue talking about how to deal with it in the future to prevent those people from having another problem.
Wenxuan lowered his head slightly, the smile on his face faded a little, and he felt a little more emotion in his expression, and he said softly: "Fortunately I know you. With you behind my back, those people are afraid. Otherwise, I am a weak woman, lonely and alone. When I encounter such a thing, I can only let others bully you, and I am afraid even if I think about it."
After hearing this, Xi Yu couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of helplessness and compassion in his eyes, and he slowly spoke: "Yes, in this world, you are not just facing such a situation. No matter when and where, there are always many ordinary people and vulnerable groups. They are unarmed, powerless and powerful, and can only endure the bullying of others silently. It's hard to express any suffering, and it's hard to get rid of grievances. It's really sad to think about it."
After saying that, he looked out the window, as if thinking about something, his brows frowned slightly, full of worries about the injustice of the world.
Then, Wenxuan's eyes lit up and said to Xi Yu with great enthusiasm: "Why don't you follow me to the city tower to watch the fun? Those guys kneel down and admit their mistakes, it will definitely be very relieved."
Xi Yu quickly waved his hand and said with a serious look: "After all, as the prime minister, I have attracted much attention in every move. If I go to join in this fun, it will inevitably become the focus of everyone's attention and will inevitably cause a lot of gossip, so let's forget it."
Wenxuan heard this and tilted his head to think about it. He felt that this was indeed the case. The prime minister had a special status and there was no need to join in the fun. He nodded and said, "Well, you are right, then I won't force you. Since that's the case, I will say goodbye and have to go back and stare at that matter. It won't go wrong."
After saying that, she nodded to Xi Yuying, then turned around and prepared to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Wenxuan left, Xi Yu sat alone in the hall, frowned, and Chen Shou's incident kept circling in his mind.
The letter had been delivered as scheduled, but this person had not been seen for a long time. It was logical that it should have arrived long ago.
He was full of worry and thought to himself: "Is it because he encountered some accident on the road? The world is not peaceful. What if he encounters a robber or encounters any other change?"
The more I thought about it, the more I felt heartbroken. The originally calm face was covered with a deep layer of worry. I just hoped that Chen Shou would arrive safely as soon as possible, but this unsuccessful situation really made him feel overwhelmed and difficult to calm down.
Xi Yu also knew in his heart that it is most likely that he was worried about it here, and maybe Chen Shou was rushing here safely at this moment.
But even though I understand this truth rationally, the worry seems to be out of control and cannot be stopped from the bottom of my heart.
He was not sitting or standing, looking out of the door from time to time, hoping that he would see Chen Shou’s familiar figure appear in the next moment so that his hanging heart could be steadily put back into his stomach.
On the other side, Han Donglai and his men were so busy that they ran around to raise money.
They carefully counted the damaged things in Wenxuan's store and roughly estimated the price. Although they were so distressed that they thrust, in order to settle the matter as soon as possible and avoid more disasters, they gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, and finally paid the whole ten times the money.
When the few people came to the store with their money, the expression on their faces was so bitter, as if they had swallowed Coptis chinensis alive, but they didn't dare to complain. They just hoped that this matter would be over immediately. In the future, they would never dare to provoke Wenxuan and her shop supported by the prime minister.
At this time, Xiao Cui became even more confident.
She started to teach her a lesson.
"Through this incident, I hope you can learn a lesson."
The few popular people didn't say anything on their faces, and Chen Hu and Xi'an Ha said that the money has been paid now, so they should kneel down at the city tower next.
Chapter completed!
