Chapter 330 Beating the Richest Man

"You bastard."

Wei Shuyu roared.

To resist the yamen runners is an act of rebellion!

"Wang Gui, take my order and proceed to the nearby military camp."

Wei Shuyu said with a cold face, "Let them send troops to suppress this."

Although Wei Shuyu could not mobilize the army.

However, given the actual situation, sending a team to help suppress the rebellion is still an option.

really……

Upon hearing that troops were being mobilized, many merchants showed signs of fear.

"Don't be afraid, everyone!"

Qiu Gai quickly stepped forward: "If he dares to use force, we will go to His Majesty to file a complaint!"

Upon hearing this, the merchant's fear lessened considerably.

Wei Shuyu's expression was solemn.

This group came prepared and is indeed difficult to deal with.

Since that's the case...

Wei Shuyu snatched the knife from the bailiff and stepped forward.

"Let him come here!"

Seeing that Wei Shuyu was being stopped by the merchants, Qiu Gai roared disdainfully, "I don't believe he dares to kill me!"

Upon hearing this, the merchants quickly made way for him.

Swish.

Wei Shuyu walked up to him and put a knife to his neck.

"Ha ha……"

Qiu Gai burst into laughter: "You dare kill me? If you kill me in front of everyone, you won't get away with it!"

Qiu Gai showed no fear whatsoever.

"That's right, I wouldn't dare kill you."

Wei Shuyu nodded: "But..."

Pfft.

Wei Shuyu slashed at the opponent's chest with his sword, and blood splattered everywhere.

"I'll cripple you, what can you do about it?"

Da da da.

Qiu Gai retreated several steps.

Wei Shuyu stepped forward unhurriedly.

Swish.

He raised his hand and slashed at his arm again.

Qiu Gai was dumbfounded.

I clearly saw the other person's movements, so why couldn't I dodge?

Swish.

Wei Shuyu struck again.

Qiu Gai still couldn't dodge...

He was absolutely furious.

He wanted to escape, but Wei Shuyu seemed to be able to anticipate his moves and always managed to strike him before he could.

However, Wei Shuyu's movements were very slow, making it impossible for anyone to tell that he was weak.

"Take it down!"

It wasn't until Qiu Gai had been slashed seven or eight times that Wei Shuyu gave the order.

Several constables protecting Wei Shuyu quickly stepped forward and captured Qiu Gai.

"You bastard, let me go!"

Ignoring his injuries, Qiu Gai continued to shout wildly, "Do you know who's behind me?"

Who cares who's behind you?

Wei Shuyu patted his cheek with the blade of his sword: "Even if His Majesty is behind you, if you dare to obstruct Chongshang, I will still kill you without hesitation!"

Looking at Wei Shuyu's cold and stern eyes.

Qiu Gai's heart skipped a beat.

This is the look of someone who has killed.

Thinking back to that widely publicized incident...

Sirius!

An overwhelming fear spread through Qiu Gai's heart.

"stop."

Seeing Qiu Gai captured, the other richest men couldn't sit still any longer.

"Wei Shuyu, even if you are the person in charge of Chongshang, you do not have the power of life and death!"

The man with the thumb ring shouted at Wei Shuyu.

"Not bad..."

Wei Shuyu glanced around and said, "I didn't expect so many people would actually dare to go against me!"

"It's not that we want to oppose you, but rather that the actions of your Ministry of Commerce have disrupted the balance of the business world," the old man with the walnuts replied with a smile.

"I see..."

Wei Shuyu's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Then you'd better think carefully about the consequences of offending me."

"Never risk your life for a little bit of petty gain."

Um?

Several people were moved.

Wei Shuyu's words still had a deterrent effect.

Since ancient times, the common people have never fought against the officials. If Wei Shuyu is determined to punish them...

They have no way to survive!

"Dr. Wei, you are mistaken."

The languid woman pointed at the crowd with the handkerchief in her hand: "It's not that we've offended you, but that you've offended all the merchants in the world."

"Your pro-commercial policies are unfair and defy the world's will."

These words immediately won the approval of all the merchants on the other side.

They all shouted that Wei Shuyu should get justice.

"Unfair?"

Wei Shuyu sneered, "I think it's just unfair to you few, isn't it?"

"Whatever Dr. Wei says is acceptable."

The languid woman smiled and said, "Anyway, you've offended so many merchants now, you're the one who should be having a headache."

"If this matter reaches His Majesty, Physician Wei, you will be in serious trouble."

Wei Shuyu frowned.

That's absolutely certain.

The merchants of Hu County rioted, and he cannot escape the blame for mismanagement.

Wei Shuyu could imagine that once Wei Ting and his group of censors received the news, they would impeach him as if they were on steroids.

"Dr. Wei."

The old man holding walnuts stepped forward again: "We can sit down and talk about it slowly."

"Given the current pro-commercial policy, we can all discuss a proper solution."

negotiation?

I'm good at this.

“We can talk, but I don’t like it outside the city.”

Wei Shuyu said with difficulty, "Why don't you all come into the city for a chat?"

this……

Several people hesitated.

If Wei Shuyu were to kill them within the city, they would have nowhere to even cry.

"What? You're too scared?"

Wei Shuyu laughed and provoked, "With your audacity, you think you can create a monopoly? Do you even deserve it?"

"I have no objection."

The old man with the walnut seemed to see through everyone's thoughts: "Don't worry, everyone."

"Wei Langzhong is an official, not a bandit."

“If something happens to us in the city, he will also be held responsible.”

Everyone thought about it and agreed.

"If none of you have any objections..."

Wei Shuyu stepped aside and invited, "Please."

As the group entered, other merchants or their entourage wanted to follow.

However, they were stopped by the guards outside the city.

"What does Doctor Wei mean by this?" the old man holding the walnut asked.

"Scared again?"

Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "Do you think this is a suitable topic to discuss in public?"

The group nodded.

Despite the concerns, the task is quite important.

If Wei Shuyu agrees to the monopoly, his reputation among merchants will plummet.

Their mission was then complete.

However……

As soon as he entered Hu County, Wei Shuyu immediately turned his back on him.

"Men, seize them all and throw them in jail!"

Magistrate Wang rolled his eyes.

Just as I expected...

"Wei Shuyu, you've gone back on your word!" the man with the thumb ring shouted, pointing at Wei Shuyu.

"Go to hell."

Wei Shuyu scornfully retorted, "You are traitors who obstruct the pro-commerce policy, and you expect me to keep my word with you?"

"If you dare to kill us, your crimes will be on His Majesty's desk tomorrow!" the ring-ringed man threatened again.

"Sand sculpture".

Wei Shuyu, too lazy to waste words, directly ordered the men to be imprisoned.

I thought it would take more effort.

I never expected these people to be so stupid, daring to even enter Hu County.

Don't you know that Hu County is my territory?

"Wei Shuyu, you bastard, you're untrustworthy!"

“Wei Shuyu, you broke your promise, you will be punished.”

"Wei Shuyu, I want to go to His Majesty to file a complaint."

Several people were shouting desperately in the prison.

I've been shouting for so long, I'm tired of it.

Seeing that it was useless, they gave up.

Then……

They then set their sights on the old man who made walnuts.

"Old Zhao, look at the terrible idea you came up with! Going to Hu County to negotiate with Wei Shuyu? Now look what's happened, you've gotten yourself into this mess."

"Exactly, I have no idea what you're thinking."

"The initiative is now in Wei Shuyu's hands. What if he abuses his power?"

The old man's face turned red.

Businessmen value their reputation.

The Wei family values ​​reputation.

Officials value their reputation.

Who the hell would have thought that Wei Shuyu was such a shameless bastard?

Why is it all my fault?

The old man with the walnut sticking out his neck retorted, "You agree just because I say so? Would you eat shit if I said so?"

Upon hearing this, the others were speechless.

but……

You've led us into this mess, and you expect things to turn out well?

He immediately launched into another round of insults.

"Big pot, we're here!"

As evening approached, Choi Shin-ki rushed over in a flurry.

He also brought along several classmates from the Imperial Academy.

Wei Shuyu greeted him with a smile.

It has to be said that after three days apart, Wei Shuyu still missed the silly guy a little.

"Is everything settled?"

Wei Shuyu went straight to the point.

"Leave it to me, don't worry."

Choi Shin-ki patted his chest and replied with absolute certainty.

"good."

Wei Shuyu nodded.

These two can't be praised, or they'll lose their bearings.

In short, they are arrogant and ungrateful, forgetting their past mistakes and acting recklessly at the drop of a hat.

"Let's go, today I'll take you guys to beat up a group of different people."

Who is it?

"The richest man!"
