"Sibaofang...I think you are a black shop here, and you are here to harm people, right?"

Uncle Yan stood firm at the door with a calm expression and said, "Tang Zhiyi, you are also a person who can be called a name in Dongshi. Are you not afraid of other lords sneering at such a rogue?"

Since Dou Qi and Cao Zeng's defeat, Qiantang's Rangers lost the backbone of carrying the banner. All the small leaders have emerged and formed gangs to grab a larger territory. Tang Zhiyi treats his brothers with righteousness and is very tangled with dozens of people. He is currently the most promising leader to succeed. Uncle Yan knows that he can't afford to offend, but he is unwilling to bow down. He hopes that Tang Zhiyi can still have some face and not make trouble too ugly.

"Sneer?" Tang Zhiyi laughed and said, "I bought the four treasures in your store. The paper was rough, the pen was bald, the ink was yellow, and the ink was fucked with the mud from the East Wharf. Not to mention other traders, even the city dictator and the city officials came. I said the same thing: either you will lose money or your life! Look at the choice!"

"You! Scoundrel!"

Uncle Yan's eyes were filled with anger and said, "Sibaofang has been in Qiantang for decades. Everyone has seen the appearance of their neighbors. If anyone slanders, I will take him to see the official!"

"I'm so scared when I see the official! Hahaha!"

The golfers laughed loudly, their words were like swords, sarcastic and mocked them. Tang Zhiyi's fierce smile was closed, and he forced himself to step forward three steps, almost approaching Yan Shujian, and said viciously: "The government protects us good people. A treacherous businessman like the owner Yan who likes to make fake goods to deceive customers, if you catch them in the county government, you will definitely make you live and die!"

Merchants are divided into businessmen, businessmen, businessmen open shops, and businessmen run boats. However, no matter how they travel, they are very low-ranking. Unless they are involved in the powerful, they are often despised. Although Yan Shujian has been in business for many years and has a little savings, he is not interested in making friends by nature and has poor connections. It may not be beneficial to him when he gets into the yamen.

Besides, these rangers were all cowhide plasters, and they really offended them. They came to harass and disrupt trouble every day. How could the business continue? Uncle Yan reluctantly suppressed his anger and decided to surrender and admit defeat, saying, "Master Tang Xing, please offer a price, how can you spare the old man?"

"Wouldn't it be better to be so good?" Tang Zhiyi pointed to the plaque hanging on the lintel and said, "Delete these four words, let's turn around and leave. From now on, we will never appear in front of you."

"Don't think about it!"

Yan Shujian’s bottom line is that he cannot touch anything in Sibaofang. He stared at Tang Zhiyi and said, “If you want money, I will give it to you. Sibaofang has been open for decades and he will demolish it as soon as he says it. How can I explain to the old customer?”

The first lean man who was knocked over by Zuo Tiao last time appeared and said, "Old dog, you don't have a son. The money you have earned over the years is enough for you to buy a coffin board. You still stay in the Sibaofang and will you be too greedy?"

"That's it! The old guy who has no roots will make money by getting up early every day and going into the dark. When he closes his eyes in the future, he still doesn't know which wild bastard will be cheaper."

"Hey, how did you say this?"

"Don't you know? The shop owner Yan has a concubine at home. She is only thirty years old. It's just the time to be charming. She didn't expect that her family would be useless and could not stand the loneliness on the bed. She would be happy with the neighbor Yao Dayan. If one day she gave birth to a fat son, you said, owner Yan, would you pass it on to him or not? "

"Yao Big-eyed? That guy with eyes bigger than your boy's eggs?"

"Yes, it's him, he's lucky!"

"Damn it, I might as well go if I had known it!"

There was another burst of laughter, and Uncle Yan almost fainted in a pride. He held the door frame with his hand and barely fell down. He trembled and said, "You...you... are too bullying..."

At this time, many people gradually surrounded the streets. Tang Zhiyi did not want to arouse the anger of the public. He snorted and said, "Don't just pretend to be pitiful. How did you get Liu Zhengyang's wealth into your bag back then? Only you know the best in your heart. Heaven is better, and it should be today."

Whispers rang in the crowd. The past grievances between Yan Shujian and Liu Zhengyang had been reported in various rumors among the neighbors. However, there was no conclusive evidence, and everyone was talking about gossip in secret. This was the first time that someone had talked about this seemingly taboo topic in person. They looked at Yan Shujian for a while, wanting to see how he should answer.

Uncle Yan slowly glanced around, his familiar, unfamiliar face, with a puzzled, curious, and gloating expression, but no one sympathized with him. He believed him, closed his eyes, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down his cheeks, and said, "I have no guilt for Brother Zhengyang... I have no guilt!"

"Liu Zhengyang has been dead for decades, and his bones have turned into ashes. Of course, it's okay to arrange them anyway!" Tang Zhiyi showed disdain and said, "However, for your age, I'm not difficult for you. Just these broken pens, ink, paper and inkstone almost missed my big deal. I will first pay 200,000 yuan, and then discuss whether to remove the plaque..."

"ah?"

"Two hundred thousand?"

"It's too much, how can the owner Yan pay compensation?"

"That's not necessarily. How many years have Sibaofang been in Dongshi? Old Yan has a lot of money skewers, and even insects and ants are rotten!"

"It's your own if you can't use it all. If you give it to others like this, will it hurt you?"

"Hey, what can I do? If you don't sell those fake things, you won't be able to find the door!"

The people who were eating melons were talking a lot. Uncle Yan knew that today's things would not be good, so he made up his mind and said, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for not leaving you a thin face. The things sold in Sibaofang have a bell in the lower left corner, which is not visible in normal times. Only by carefully identifying them in the sunlight can you discover them."

In fact, it was not that no one in the crowd who were watching suspected that Tang Zhiyi used fake paper and ink from other places to slander Yan Shujian, but he was afraid of his power and did not dare to say more. Hearing that there was a hidden seal in the Sibaofang, he suddenly became excited and stood on tiptoe to look at the two groups of people at the door, afraid of missing a little expression and movement.

Xu You and the others were standing outside. He and Zuo Tsui were tall and could see clearly even if they didn't squeeze in. Fang Kang and Fang Sinian were not tall enough, but Fang Kang was shy about seeing the old master and shrank his neck and didn't want to poke his head. Fang Sinian had never seen so many people before. He was a little scared and stayed behind Xu You obediently without moving.

Zuo Qiong whispered: "Tang Zhiyi is going to be embarrassed now, let's see how he ends up!"

Xu You stared at Tang Zhiyi's face, carefully observed his expression, and shook his head with a smile, "Tang Zhiyi's temple is not deep, but you see that he is calm and unhappy at this time. I guess he had known this a long time ago. I'm afraid that it was Mr. Yan who was embarrassed."

Zuo Qi said in surprise: "You can hear Master Yan's tone. This seal should be the secret of the Sibaofang. No one else knows it except him..."

"That's right!" Xu You thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Last time we came to Sibaofang, didn't we see a waiter? Why didn't we see anyone for such a big thing?"

"Yes!" Zuo Qi also felt something was wrong and said, "Liu Qi was coercive and tempted, causing Mr. Yan to betray his relatives and divorce him. Only the waiter was loyal and still stayed in Sibaofang to do things. Logically speaking, Tang Zhiyi would come to him, and no matter how busy he was, he should be with Mr. Yan for a moment..."

"Waiter? Uh, I know the person the husband said. His name is Yan Cheng. He is the old shopkeeper's housekeeper. He has been with him since he was a child. He is the most well-behaved little man, and he likes him closely!"

Xu You had a conspiracy in his heart and said, "Be well-behaved? I think he is too smart..."

"What did you say? Seal? OK, the dog is quite scheming!"

Tang Zhiyi cursed and winked. The thin man pulled a few pieces from the pile of paper and shook at the sun. Sure enough, he found a willow leaf trait in the lower left corner. He didn't know how to hammer it, so thin that he could hardly detect it. Only by illuminating the sunlight can he vaguely see the faint outline.

"Look, look, there is really!"

"It's amazing. I have also bought paper from Sibaofang, but I never knew there was such a clever seal!"

"What Master Tang Xing said is right, Old Man Yan is indeed a cunning person."

"What I mean is that observing people's hearts, observing their actions, and seeing how they work on paper is really extraordinary cunning."

Everyone was talking about it, and no one said a few good things. Xu You shook his head secretly. Since childhood, he relied on good quality and low price and public reputation, but he relied on personal connections and industry monopoly. The reason why Yan Shujian's Sibaofang failed to become bigger and stronger is that he really has nothing to do with his character.

"How? Shop owner Yan, can't find an excuse to refuse this time?" Tang Zhiyi shouted angrily and said, "Go, I tied up the dog with a broken heart to see the official and smashed his Sibaofang so that I would not harm others in the future!"

Uncle Yan's body became weak and finally couldn't hold on. He fell straight back and just reached out from the side with one hand and firmly supported him.

Tang Zhiyi felt a flash in front of him. There was already one person at the door. When he looked closely, his face turned pale. He took two steps back and said, "It's you!"

Zuo Qi stood up with Uncle Yan, looked at Tang Zhiyi, and said lightly: "I have seen what happened today. These pens, ink, paper and inkstones are from Sibaofang, but they are all residues made in the papermaking workshop of Sibaofang. They have always been sealed in the warehouse and can be used as materials for slurry water. I just don't know if I was stolen by someone with ulcers and then slandered the store."

After saying that, he ignored Tang Zhiyi and said to the onlookers: "This matter is simple. Either someone robs the inside and colludes with outsiders to frame the head of the family, or Sibaofang uses inferior products as good people and deceives the good people. This Tang Xingzhu does not have to be anxious to smash the shop. Now he will go to see the official immediately. In the court, dozens of sticks will be beaten. Whoever lies, whoever cheats, whoever is right or wrong, you will know it once you check. If you are not in a hurry, why don't you go and testify together!"

Tang Zhiyi said that he tied up Uncle Yan to see the official, but he just made a bluff. Who would want to go to the yamen to get into bad luck? So it was true to smash the store, and it was fake to see the official. Zuo Shi would be able to get in and out of the way. After thinking about it, Yan became the cowardly guy. When he arrived in the court, let alone dozens of sticks, he was afraid that he would be so scared that he would pee his pants immediately and give it all out.

"this……"

He couldn't beat him and was afraid to see the official. Tang Zhiyi really wanted to die. He felt that he had hit the evil spirit. He rushed dozens of miles in the wind and snow in vain, but he was beaten in Youhe Village. He finally patted the chest with the financial owner Liu Yu and promised that he wouldn't make any mistakes again this time. Unexpectedly, he met this evil star again.

"Master Tang Xing, why not like this? Everyone is a fellow villager. He looks up and sees him. It is too stiff and hurts his feelings!" Zuo Qi smiled and said, "These remnants will be taken back from the original price of the shop owner Yan. I will give you some tea and money to apologize. You will go back first. If you have any requests, discuss in private. This is broad daylight, and you will be surrounded by so many people. If you are seen by the municipal officials, it will be difficult for everyone to have a good time!"

Tang Zhiyi had no choice but to go down and took two thousand yuan in compensation, and turned around and left. As for how to explain to Liu Guo after leaving, it was a headache for him.

"It's gone! It's no longer fun to watch it. Let's go and go. If you don't go to business, the market will be closed soon!"

Zuo Qi dispersed the crowd. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xu You then took Fang Kang and Fang Sinian over and said, "Brother Yan, do you still remember me?"

Uncle Yan calmed down his spirit, broke away from Zuo Teng's hand, and cried in tears. He bent down and bowed to the ground, saying, "Today's virtue of helping me, I will never forget it!"
