"No! I don't want to!!"
"No! Absolutely not!"
"We must not let them continue to get carried away!"
"They deserve to be lowly merchants kneeling at our feet, begging for mercy, and relying on our charity to survive!"
"We absolutely cannot let them get ahead of us!!"
Looking at other people's emotions, I was able to arouse them.
Cheng He's face curved up with satisfaction.
Then he said, "Then we have to teach those merchants a lesson."
"Let them know that in Xianyang, we still have the final say!"
"If you want to escape from our grasp, you must first ask us if we agree!"
The other people were encouraged by Cheng He's words.
Everyone thought he was right.
They all shouted and wanted to teach those merchants a lesson.
Only one of them asked, "So what should we do?"
"I'm afraid the previous methods are no longer applicable."
yes.
Now those merchants have the protection of His Majesty.
He was named the Imperial Merchant.
Those methods in the past...
I'm afraid it's not easy to use.
After thinking about it, Cheng He said, "We can start with some small businesses."
"Use the fate of some small businesses to warn them."
Small business?
One of them asked, "Why don't we take action against those imperial merchants first?"
Cheng He said, "We don't know His Majesty's attitude yet, so don't act rashly against them."
"There are only three imperial merchants in Xianyang, but we can't touch them."
“But what about other merchants…?”
Cheng He gave a look that said you all understand.
The others understood instantly.
"good."
"Then let's pick a few small businesses to practice on and give them a heads-up."
Afterwards, Cheng He and several others began to discuss their targets.
The other side.
The merchants in Jiangxiang have just dispersed.
Gu Hui was one of the many businessmen.
He doesn't own many shops.
There are only two shops and a tea stall.
The business run by the shop under his name is similar to that in Jiangxiang.
So he took refuge under the name of Jiang Xiang.
From now on, his shop will have a name in front of it.
Jiang's xxx shop.
On the surface, his shop belongs to Jiangxiang.
In fact, it is still his and in his hands.
He is still in charge of the shop's revenue accounts and other things.
Apart from gaining a new title, there is no loss.
On the contrary, he can also take advantage of the status of Jiangxiang's royal merchant.
only........
Gu Hui always felt a little uncomfortable.
He himself couldn't tell what it was.
When he returned home, he didn't see his wife, so Gu Hui found the little girl in the yard and asked.
"Where's the lady? Where did she go?"
The little girl looked only eleven or twelve years old. She was scrubbing a woman's dress in her hands.
Lvliu blinked her eyes and said, "Madam and Sister Chunhong have gone to look at the shop."
What?
Look at the shop?
Gu Hui's wife Tang Weiyu owns a jewelry shop.
Gu Hui felt a little relieved when he heard Lu Liu say that his wife had gone out to look after the shop.
My wife often likes to go out and check out the shops.
Gu Hui also understood this.
The Qin Dynasty did not prohibit women from showing their faces in public and going out to do business.
Gu Hui asked, "When did you go? How long have you been gone?"
Lvliu thought for a moment and said, "I've been gone for an hour."
One hour...
I think it’s about time I come back.
Gu Hui thought about waiting at the door to greet his wife.
I waited and waited, but no one showed up.
He walked along the street towards where his wife's shop was.
Before I even got near the shop, I saw a group of people gathered in front.
Gu Hui's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly ran forward.
"Make way! Please make way!"
After pushing through the crowd, Gu Hui saw that his wife's jewelry shop looked like it had been smashed up.
Various jewelry and hairpins were scattered all over the floor.
There was a big swelling on Tang Weiyu's forehead.
She calmly instructed the steward and the waiter to pick up the jewelry on the ground one by one.
Pick up the damaged ones and put them aside. If the damage is not serious and can be repaired, put them aside.
Tang Weiyu was squatting on the ground, reaching out to pick up a jade hairpin that was broken into several pieces.
I felt that the scene in front of me suddenly became dark, and an anxious voice sounded above my head.
"Tang'er!"
Gu Hui squatted in front of Tang Weiyu, looking at her fair cheeks and the swollen forehead.
His eyes turned red with anger. "Madam, what on earth is going on?"
"Who did it?"
Tang Weiyu looked outside the shop and saw the crowd gathered in a circle to watch the excitement.
The voice said calmly, "Husband, don't be upset. I know who did it."
"Help me clean up here first and see if there's any jewelry I can use."
"This is all my hard work. I feel bad that so much has been damaged for nothing."
Gu Hui helped Tang Weiyu sit on a chair nearby. "You have a wound on your forehead. Sit down first. I'll take care of it."
Seeing Gu Hui's firm attitude, Tang Weiyu didn't say anything else.
I sat down on the chair and began to think about what happened today and the strange things that happened.
In fact, what she just said about knowing who did it was just a guess.
