When the shopkeeper heard the last sentence, his voice became cold.
"Are you trying to make trouble here unreasonably?"
"Smash the store?" the shopkeeper's voice became louder, "If you dare to smash the store, I will report it directly to the official!"
"Shopkeeper! You have obviously deceived us about this!" Xiti stared at the shopkeeper with eyes split open, wishing to carve out a piece of flesh from him!
The shopkeeper seemed to have heard something funny and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiti's words are really funny. When did I deceive you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper walked towards the inner room when no one reacted.
Xiti immediately turned to the surrounding people and shouted angrily: "Look! He is clearly trying to run away!"
Without hesitation, Xiti followed closely behind the shopkeeper, preparing to go in.
Just as he was about to reach the curtain, the shopkeeper took a piece of paper, opened the curtain and came out. Seeing Xiti's appearance, he vaguely understood and immediately sneered.
The next moment, he raised the paper in his hand and said loudly: "It is clearly written in black and white here. If you buy 20,000 pieces of glass at these prices, we will give you a discount of 20,000 taels!"
The paper was stamped with the seal of Lin's shop and the seal of the Western Chamber of Commerce.
Xiti gritted her teeth, "But it's obvious that you guys lied to us! How could you have accidentally discovered a lower-cost method as soon as we bought these glasses?"
Fatiris has always been difficult to deal with Xiti, but this time he also agreed: "And the price difference is still ten times, or even dozens of times!"
The bystanders watched the farce and whispered.
"What these Westerners say makes sense. If it were me, I would be annoyed to death if I bought so many things and then turned around and cut the prices on them all, making them more than ten times cheaper!"
"But what the shopkeeper said may be true. If the cost comes down, the price will also come down. That's the right thing to do!"
The shopkeeper also heard these whispers. Logically speaking, these remarks would damage the reputation of the Lin family, but he was not worried at all.
Looking at this group of Western businessmen, a thunder was slowly thrown down.
"It's meaningless for you to say this. The colored glaze you sell is all made from a pile of sand, but it was directly sold to us Zhao people for hundreds or even thousands of times."
This news was like a big stone thrown into the lake, causing huge waves immediately.
The minds of more than twenty Western businessmen went blank, leaving only one thought.
How could he know?
The customers in the shop were frightened and angry.
Sand! Hundreds of times! Thousands of times!
"Shopkeeper, are you telling the truth?" A woman in gorgeous clothes, with a golden bud in her hair, and two maids following behind her asked anxiously.
The shopkeeper said solemnly, "Of course it is true. The firing method of this glass is similar to that of colored glaze. The so-called colored glaze is just that the impurities were not removed when the glass was fired, resulting in the color."
When the guests recalled those prices, their faces turned red and white.
No matter what, it is impossible for the Lin family to do such a thing at a loss.
Moreover, everyone suddenly remembered that the Lin family was not the only one to reduce the price of glass!
The woman just now murmured to herself, "No wonder the master doesn't let me buy colored glaze recently."
And those Western businessmen were all stunned on the spot.
If they were just a little suspicious before, the Lin family was setting up a trap for people, but now they don't know what they are saying!
It was the wealthy gentry and big businessmen in Yunzhou City who knew about this and deliberately set up such a situation for them!
Sand, these glasses are actually made of sand.
The shopkeeper's words were like a nightmare, constantly echoing in their minds.
They invested more than one million taels of silver into most of their wealth, and now they are told that this is a scam?
Xiti came to her senses in a daze, and when she realized what she was doing, her face became ferocious.
He himself also spent more than two hundred thousand taels! Moreover, he signed this matter single-handedly. If the others...
Xiti didn't even dare to think about it anymore. Anger surged from her chest and blood rushed to her forehead.
He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the shopkeeper's lapel, "So you have been lying to us from the beginning to the end!"
The other Western businessmen were furious and their shouts were several times louder than before!
And all of them looked terrible, as if they wanted to eat the shopkeeper alive.
"What are you doing?"
Naturally, it was impossible for the shopkeeper to refund them, so he shouted sternly: "The money is clear! We haven't asked you to pay for Liuli's money!"
Xiti gritted her teeth, "So you are determined not to lose money?"
"Ha!" The shopkeeper sneered, barely spitting on Xiti's face.
"Where did you get such a big face? You can refund the money to us, but you should refund the money to everyone who bought your glass first!"
"Good! Very good!"
The words seemed to be squeezed out from the roots of the teeth, and Xiti smiled sinisterly.
"Since you are unwilling to compensate, then we will destroy the store!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiti directly picked up the chair in the shop and smashed it against the shelf on one side!
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened and his voice trembled, "Quick! Quick! Stop them!"
But there were too many Western merchants. When the other Western merchants saw Xiti starting to destroy the store, they started to take action one after another.
"What are you doing!"
Just when Xiti was about to smash the second shelf, a large group of government guards rushed up.
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went up to us and cried: "Sir! When the money and goods were cleared, these people insisted on coming here to demand compensation from us, and now they want to destroy our shop!"
Before the arrest came, Zhao Jin gave him some advice and comforted the shopkeeper.
"Don't worry, they will certainly compensate for the damage."
"Then that will trouble you, sir."
The catcher waved his hand and looked at the more than twenty Western businessmen who had been controlled by the Yamen Guards.
"Take them all back to the Yamen! Yunzhou City is also a place where you can cause trouble?"
Some of the customers who originally sympathized with these Western merchants glared at them when the shopkeeper told them about Liuli.
This group was extremely disgusted with these people. Seeing them being taken away by the government guards, they all cheered!
After the Western merchant was taken away, the shopkeeper bowed to some of the customers who were still in the store and said with a smile: "You guys are laughing, but today everyone knows about Liuli. Go back and tell your family not to buy any more Western merchants."
It’s human glass.”
He didn't say much else, but finally said, "The county governor already knows about this matter."
The Western businessmen were shouting all the way back to the Yamen.
"Shouldn't your yamen make the decision for us?"
"They lied to us, but you caught us instead. It's simply a collusion between government and businessmen!"
