Chapter 306: Hit Harder
(Chapter 304 has been modified and can be re-watched without any additional charge) The sprinters who were running errands on the street came to see the commotion at the Huibin Building. After roughly understanding the situation, they either helped fight against the servants, or went to call for help, or went to the government office to report...
"The Huibin Building was smashed by evil slaves from the capital!"
This word spread throughout Qinghe County at the fastest speed and soon reached the door of Feng's shop.
Feng Yuandong was counting the orders that needed to be shipped to the northwest border before the New Year in the shop. After hearing the news, he slammed his fist on the table and said, "Where did this cunning slave come from? He came to Qinghe to bully our merchants casually. Do you think our chamber of commerce is just a decoration?"
"Call the waiter in the upper bunk, and then notify the managers of the nearby shops to go to the guest house to help!"
With the notification from the clerk of Feng's shop, people began to rush over from all directions and headed for Huibin Building.
When they arrived near the Huibin Building, more and more people had gathered into a huge group, like a solid wall, moving continuously until they reached the door of the Huibin Building.
The servant who had been destroying the shop had been surrounded by the waiters, diners and nearby neighbors in the Huibin Building and taken to the Huibin Building. It was a real trap. Butler Zhang, the Hu brothers and the remaining servants outside were all shocked when they saw this.
It was just a smash-up of a restaurant, why are there so many people coming to help?
But before they could think about it, a group of people had already walked up to them and glared at them.
"Tie these people up!" Feng Yuandong waved his hand.
The people behind him immediately stepped forward and took action.
"How dare you!" Butler Zhang was furious when he saw that all the people he brought with him were tied up and captured. He stood on a footstool and shouted at everyone, "Do you know who we are? How dare you be so presumptuous..."
The crowd was surging, and these words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, without even causing a ripple.
Butler Zhang couldn't help but shudder.
Even the brothers Hu Xingxian and Hu Xingyi were dumbfounded.
"How dare you..." Hu Xingxian was about to shout angrily when he was pulled to the ground by the person next to him.
Gagged with a rag, tied with a rope, kicked twice in the chaos...
After a meal, when Ye Yongwang arrived with the yamen runners, Steward Zhang, the Hu brothers, and the servants had all been beaten into pig heads and tied up like dumplings, and were neatly placed at the door of the Huibin Building. The scene was quite spectacular.
On the way here, Ye Yongwang had heard people mention that these people were looking for trouble. Without saying a word, he was told to do some odd jobs, which made him extremely angry. When he arrived at the guesthouse and saw the mess on the scene, which was far worse than he had imagined, he became even more furious.
In Qinghe, an area under his jurisdiction, such a vile thing as a shop being robbed in broad daylight could actually happen. Especially when the shop being robbed was the banquet hall run by Su Yujin. It was really intolerable!
"Take all these lawless people back to the county government office, give them thirty lashes with the stick first, and then proceed to trial!" Ye Yongwang shouted angrily.
"Yes!" The runners hurriedly followed the instructions.
Su Yujin has an excellent reputation in Qinghe County. He is kind and generous in his daily life, donating money to build roads and bridges. Huibinlou is also very capable and takes good care of the yamen runners. It is much cheaper for his family to eat at Huibinlou. The yamen runners have a good impression of Su Yujin and Huibinlou and respect them very much.
At the moment, there were people from outside acting wildly in Huibin Building, so they were naturally very angry and dragged and kicked those people into the yamen.
Butler Zhang's face and nose were swollen. He was already quite old and had lived a life of luxury for many years. Now that he had suddenly suffered such a disaster, his face was already distorted.
After struggling to spit out the rag that was blocking his mouth, Butler Zhang shouted, "How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you torture me?"
"You are just the magistrate of Qinghe County, but you are so arrogant and bold. You will be in big trouble if you are careful! To tell you the truth, I am from the Wu family in the capital!"
Who are you threatening?
Ye Yongwang became more and more angry. He glared at the housekeeper Zhang and stuffed the rag back into his mouth. He said quietly, "It doesn't matter whether you are from the Wu family or the Wen family, anyone who comes here today will be beaten with a stick!"
"take away!"
Being so arrogant and wild in Qinghe, do you really think Qinghe is a place where no one cares?
Ye Yong's face was filled with anger, and he added, "Hit harder with the stick!"
"Yes!" The runners nodded vigorously.
This is what I was waiting for! After the runners took Butler Zhang and the others away, Ye Yongwang bowed to Su Yujin and said, "You guys need to go to the guest house and explain the situation to a few people."
"I'll go." Su Yujin told Wu Jiantong to take care of the rest, then looked around and selected a few guys who knew the whole situation from beginning to end, "You guys come with me."
"I'll go too." Zheng Mingyuan, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, stood up.
This matter was caused by him, and he just happened to explain the whole cause and effect to the government office and give the two foolish brothers of the Hu family a good lesson!
Su Yujin understood his thoughts, nodded, and followed Ye Yongwang to the county government office.
The people from the yamen left one after another, and the farce came to an end.
Wu Jiantong hurriedly told the waiter to clean up, and he himself thanked Feng Yuandong and many people who came to help on behalf of Su Yujin and Huibinlou, "Thank you all for your help today."
"Manager Wu is too polite." Feng Yuandong said, "The original intention of the establishment of the Qinghe County Chamber of Commerce was to allow all merchants in Qinghe County to receive protection from the Chamber of Commerce. This time, the Huibin Building was disturbed, and the Chamber of Commerce should intervene."
"That's right." The other shop owners who came along also nodded in agreement.
Since the Chamber of Commerce was established, it has helped various industries resolve many troubles and disputes. In particular, when facing business difficulties from other counties and prefectures, the Chamber of Commerce stepped in to coordinate and helped many shops regain their deserved profits.
Everyone believed in the principle of supporting and helping each other, and at this time they also felt that helping Huibinlou was a matter of course.
"Miss Su and Chef Zheng have gone to the county government office. Huibinlou is in such a state right now. Shopkeeper Wu should hurry up and do his work. We will take our leave now and not disturb you any more."
Feng Yuandong led the others away, and before leaving, he left behind a few waiters to help tidy up and clean the guest house. He also told Wu Jiantong to go find him if he needed anything.
Wu Jiantong thanked him repeatedly.
After seeing off Feng Yuandong and others as well as the shop owners from the neighborhood, Wu Jiantong went to comfort the guests present.
"Everyone!" Wu Jiantong cleared his throat and said loudly, "Something like this happened in our guest house today. We are really sorry for disturbing everyone's meal. This happened suddenly. We are very grateful to everyone for helping us."
I felt something was wrong while writing, so I rewrote the second half of Chapter 304. You can go back and take a look. There is no extra charge~~ Just refresh (End of this chapter)
