As Wan Feng entered the yard, a black local dog rushed out from a corner and barked at him fiercely.
Wan Feng stood in the center of the yard like a nail, watching the dog baring its fangs and claws.
When facing something like a dog, as long as you don't lose your composure and deal with it calmly, it doesn't really require much martial arts skills.
Especially the dogs that are frightened by this kind of barking are not that scary at all. If you stand there and don't move, it will pose no threat to you except for barking.
There is a folk saying that goes, "A biting dog won't bark."
If a dog rushes towards you silently, that is dangerous. This kind of dog has the potential to bite you.
Unfortunately, the dog in He Changsuo's family can only bark but dare not bite.
The brother in Ma Gou who was monitoring He Changsuo knew the situation at his home. There was no back door at his home, so Wan Feng was not worried at all that He Changsuo would disappear.
Unless he has wings or can walk through walls.
Wan Feng believed that He Changsuo must have seen him as soon as he entered the yard, and it depended on what he would do next.
A woman between thirty and forty came out of the house in a slightly panicked manner and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is this He Changsuo's home?" Wan Feng responded calmly.
"It's...it's He Changsuo's house, but he's not at home."
"I know he's home. He didn't go out this morning. I need to talk to him about something. Do you want him to come out or should I go in?"
The woman was still hesitating when a voice rang out from the house: "Let him come in."
The woman scolded the barking dog, and Wan Feng walked into He Changsuo's house with confidence.
He Changsuo sat on the kang, trying to remain calm, but he couldn't hide his panic.
"sit!"
Wan Feng didn't sit down but looked at He Changsuo with amusement: "Big rat, do you know why I came to you?"
He Changsuo forced himself to remain calm: "I don't know."
"If I remember correctly, it seems like you haven't given me a foot of cloth coupons in two weeks?"
He Changsuo stuttered a little: "I haven't received it for a while."
Wan Feng didn't say anything, just looked at He Changsuo calmly.
"Also, the autumn harvest is coming soon. I packed up and started working, so I didn't go out."
There was one thing that He Changsuo didn't understand. He had been traveling around the country for more than 20 years and was considered an old hand, so why did he always feel insecure when facing this young man?
The young man's calm gaze seemed to penetrate directly into his heart.
"Go ahead and make it up. I'll give you room to use your imagination until I believe you."
“I’m not making this up, it’s really like this.”
Wan Feng sneered, "He Changsuo, let's be frank and don't mince words in front of others. Don't curse the abbot in front of the monks. I came to you today, do you think I'm an idiot?"
Sweat broke out on He Changsuo's forehead.
Behind this young man is the most famous gangster in Hongya County, and they really can't afford to offend him. A few days ago, someone was willing to buy the cloth coupons of the third brother at two cents higher than the market price. He didn't agree with so much from the bottom of his heart, but the third brother was the stronger one among the three mice, and the second brother also listened to him, so he couldn't do anything alone.
But since nothing else can help, I have no choice but to fight on.
"Brother Wan, although we have a verbal agreement, we have the right to sell it to the highest bidder. Isn't there an old saying that goes, 'The highest bidder wins'?"
"Indeed, profit is the primary goal of business. He Changsuo, you are one of the first people to do business in Hongya. You should understand that long-term business requires credibility, even if it's about profit. If I offered a low price, you should at least let me know in advance. If you offer a low price, we will sell it to someone who pays more. I won't say anything, but you quietly stood me up and delayed my production. Didn't you consider that I would quietly eat this loss?"
"Then what do you want?" He Changsuo stiffened his neck. He had no choice but to argue to the end. Even if the other party asked Xia Qiulong to come forward, the worst that could happen was that he would get beaten up. He didn't believe that Xia Qiulong would dare to kill someone in broad daylight.
Wan Feng smiled contemptuously: "What do you think? Do you think I can't deal with you?"
"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say. You can go find whoever you want. At worst, you can call Xia Qiulong over to give me a beating."
"Haha, asking Xia Qiulong to beat you up? That's so low class! I wouldn't do such a stupid thing."
That's strange.
"So what do you want to do?"
"How? Don't forget what you did. I won't beat you or scold you, but I can send you all to jail to eat steamed bread."
He Changsuo broke out in a cold sweat. They knew very well that reselling bills was illegal, and if caught, they would be sentenced to at least a few years in prison.
"Even if we go in, you won't be alright. Don't forget that you're our biggest buyer. This also counts as selling stolen goods."
"Selling stolen goods? I think you've got the wrong idea. Were all your cloth coupons stolen or robbed?"
"Of course not!"
"So when you go in, you're going to confess that your cloth coupons were stolen or robbed? Remember that theft carries a heavier sentence."
"Of course not."
"Since your cloth coupons weren't stolen or robbed, how can I be considered a dealer in stolen goods? At most, I'm just a buyer. At worst, I'll be fined a little, but I can earn that back in a short time. But if I send you to prison, I'll be a witness, which will count as a meritorious report. The state may not only not fine you, but they might even give you a banner or certificate, or even make you a model of bravery. But you'll be spending years in prison. If I'm wicked enough to spend a few dollars outside, you might never get out. And if I spend that money on the families of those sentenced to death, someone in the prison might kill you."
He Changsuo was sweating profusely. What this guy said was true. He knew very well how dark the prison was. He had also been there for several times.
"You'd better think it over. Don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm young. I'm giving you a chance to reorganize your words."
He Changsuo's hands were shaking a little. Only then did he realize how powerful the young man in front of him was. He would be a fool if he continued to argue with him.
"The third brother decided to sell the cloth coupons to someone else. Among the three of us, my share doesn't count, the third brother's share counts. Actually, I don't want to do this."
"Whether your words are true or not, I believe them to be true. Go tell Lao Sanming that I want to see the cloth coupons. As for the price, I'll give you 5 cents less per foot than the market price. This is punishment for your betrayal. If I don't see the cloth coupons tomorrow, you'd better run away. Don't be tempted. I have enough evidence to put you in jail."
After that, Wan Feng turned around and walked out of He Changsuo's house without saying anything else.
