Zhang San was shocked when he heard what Zhang Fugui said. He quickly confessed to Sun Xin and Ma Zhou and took Fugui to the back hall to talk.
"Is he really a man from Zhang County? The owner of this bookstore?" When Sun Xin heard the man calling Zhang Sanjue, he immediately confirmed Zhang San's identity. No wonder he is so talented.
Ma Zhou was also moved when he learned Zhang San's identity, "It turns out that Brother Zhang is the owner of this bookstore. No wonder he asked me to come here to find him when something happens."
…
"What's going on? Are any of our people injured?" Zhang San asked hurriedly after arriving in the inner hall.
"The man is fine, he just suffered a little skin injury, but all the goods we sent to Lantian County this time were destroyed." Zhang Fugui said angrily.
Zhang San felt relieved when he heard that everyone was fine. It was nothing to lose the goods once. The worst thing he could do was compensate the other party for some liquidated damages.
"You just said it was sabotage? Wasn't the goods robbed?" Zhang San suddenly thought that what Zhang Fugui said just now was nonsense, so he asked quickly.
"No, that group just smashed the goods to pieces and then ran away. Since there were so many of them, our people could barely protect themselves, so..." The escort failed to protect the safety of the goods this time, which made Zhang Fugui very self-conscious.
responsibility.
"It's okay, as long as we are okay, let's go back and take a look first." Zhang San comforted.
In fact, Zhang San already has the answer in his mind. It seems that the Zheng family has changed their target this time!
Zhang San told Zhang Fugui not to worry, as long as the person is fine, forget the goods are damaged, and come back to compensate him for some liquidated damages.
"Shopkeeper Sun, you continue to sell our books at the originally set price. I will completely drive down the book prices in Chang'an. At the same time, I will do a good job in the bookstore's defense inspection. Be careful." Since you want to mess with me, then let's do it.
Let's see, this is just an appetizer.
"Also, the price of each book supplied to those small bookstores is reduced by two cents."
"Sir, if this means we basically have no profit, wouldn't that be bad?" Shopkeeper Sun became a little anxious upon hearing this and asked quickly.
"It's okay, just do as I say. We won't lose anything. As for the reason, I won't tell you for now." Zhang San said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away and spread the news." Shopkeeper Sun replied.
"Okay, you go and do your work, I'm going back too." After Zhang San said this, he asked Fugui to call Zhang Fu, and the three of them got on the carriage and drove to Zhangjiacun.
Zhang Fu was very angry when he heard that someone dared to loot and destroy the goods of his own caravan. Now the entire Zhangjia Village benefited from the commune and the caravan. Although Zhang Fugui did not make statistics on this loss, he thought it must be a huge loss.
Damage to the interests of the commune means that the income of the commune members will be lost. How can this not make people angry?
Zhang San returned to his house, and Xiaoyu and the three girls were also waiting for Zhang San at home. Muramasa sat on a chair nearby, sighing.
Seeing Zhang San come in, he quickly got up and said: "Sir, this time we are old and incompetent. All our goods this time have been destroyed by those gangsters." Muramasa burst into tears and confided to Zhang San.
"Muramasa, please don't say that. It'll be fine as long as everything is fine. Muramasa, are you so hurt on your face?" Zhang San asked quickly when he saw that Muramasa's face was also stained.
"Because there are a lot of goods, my father also went with him this time, so..." Zhang Fugui didn't know what to say next.
"Xiaoyu, hurry up and get some liquor to wipe Muramasa's wound. It's hot and you can't get infected." After hearing this, Zhang San hurriedly said to Xiaoyu.
"Sir, I'm fine. Manager Jade has washed me with white wine. It's just a little skin injury. It's not a problem. It's just the goods..." Muramasa saw that Zhang San was very concerned about his injuries and did not pursue those matters.
I was very touched by the damage to the goods, and tears were about to fall down my face as I talked about it.
The loss of goods on this trip was converted into copper coins, which amounted to more than 300 guan. How could Muramasa not be devastated? Moreover, he may have to compensate the distributors and customers who ordered the goods for liquidated damages later on.
"Muramasa, you don't need to blame yourself. I may have guessed what happened. Fugui, go and call all the team leaders over for a meeting." Zhang San said.
"Also, Xiaoyu, you and Su Xin go check on the injured and give me a list of the injured. The commune will compensate them later."
After ordering Xiaoyu and Fugui, Zhang San said to Muramasa: "Where did you meet those thieves this time? Is there anything unusual about those thieves?"
"Next to a mountain forest on our way to Lantian County, the place is called Wild Boar Ridge. We met the group of thieves as soon as we got there." Muramasa said through gritted teeth.
"As for whether there was any abnormality, I don't know. I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I thought I encountered a thief."
"Okay, I understand. How many people from our escort team are there this time, and how many people are there on the other side?" Zhang San asked again.
"Our escort team went eight times this time, but there were more than 20 people on the other side. If our escort team hadn't been so powerful, we probably wouldn't have been able to save anyone this time." Muramasa was still frightened when he remembered that he still had some snacks.
After hearing this, Zhang San was quite satisfied with the performance of the escort team. If the escort team had no combat effectiveness at all, then he might as well just disband and hire some people from the escort agency in the future.
After Fugui called the people, Zhang San said to several team leaders: "Everyone already knows about the attack on the caravan this time. I called you here today because I have something to tell you.
.”
"Sir, are we going to take revenge on those bastard thieves?" Zhang Dazhuang said with red eyes.
Because this time my son Zhang Lin also went with him. When he came back, he had many bruises on his body and a knife on his arm. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious.
"Revenge must be avenged, but not now. Listen to me first." Zhang San calmed down Zhang Dazhuang's emotions and bowed to several people.
"Sir, what are you doing? It's not your fault."
When everyone saw Zhang San saluting several people, they all said.
"The reason for this incident is because of me, so our caravan is being targeted." Zhang San sighed and said.
"Sir, how could this happen? You don't have to take it upon yourself. Who knows you might encounter those damn thieves?" Zhang Xin said.
"It's like this. Do you still remember the time when my little sister was robbed last time? It was also because I offended someone, and this time is no exception." Zhang San explained.
"This..." The people below didn't know how to answer the question.
"Sir, no matter what the reason is, they are all here for the people of Zhangjiacun. We must work together, otherwise no one will think highly of our Zhangjiacun in the future." Muramasa stood up and said loudly.
"Yes, twist it into a rope, you're afraid of getting a ball!" Zhang Ergou also shouted loudly.
Zhang Sanxu pressed his hand forward, and after a few people calmed down, Zhang San continued: "Thank you everyone for your love and tolerance for me. I won't say any more polite words. There may be something behind the robbery of the caravan this time.
It was still done by the Zheng family."
Zhang San told everyone one by one about his conflicts with Zheng Shide and the Zheng family.
"The bastard Zheng family, aren't they just taking advantage of their family status to bully others? They were the ones who provoked us first," Zhang Jin said angrily.
"That's right, that bullshit aristocratic family knows how to bully us common people." Zhang Ergou also gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Okay, I am telling you these things just to remind you that you must be careful in your actions in the future. When you go back, tell the people in our village that if anyone is scared, they can withdraw. I will not stop them.
"
Zhang San confessed to everyone this time just to see if everyone would shrink back when facing the behemoth of the Zheng family.
"What did your lordship say? If anyone is afraid of becoming a deserter, I will be the first to let him go." Zhang Dazhong shouted loudly.
"That is, people who cannot share the same adversity are not worthy of being a member of our Zhangjiacun." Zhang Jin also expressed his position.
"Don't worry, Sir. Not to mention that you will lead everyone to get rich together. Just because you are from our Zhangjia Village, I will not allow anyone to betray our Zhangjia Village and betray you." Muramasa stood up and said.
"Thank you all for supporting me, Zhang San is very grateful." Zhang San said to several people.
"What did the Lord say? Should we go and settle the accounts with those people now?" Zhang Dazhuang asked again.
"We need to discuss this in the long term. I will not fail to avenge this. I called you here today to discuss this matter." Zhang San was also very angry with the people of the Zheng family. Since they had all bullied them, Zhang San decided to start
