Chapter 108 It's All Their Fault
Perhaps because he was beaten quite badly, the man was bent like a shrimp and cried out in pain.
There was a nearly extinguished fire starter on the ground next to him.
Several young men hurriedly pulled the man up from the ground, picked up the hemp rope used to tie goods in the workshop, tied him up, and took off the bamboo basket on the man's head.
In the light of the lantern, the man's face could be clearly seen.
His face was round and slightly fat, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his originally fat cheeks had become like steamed buns because of the beating. His eyes were also red and swollen and he couldn't open them.
Judging from his appearance, he is not from this village, nor from the neighboring village. To be exact, no one has ever seen him before.
Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun were stunned.
This man was the stall owner who did Guanpu business whom I had met in the county town before.
It was obvious that this person was holding a grudge because of the disruption of Guanpu's business by Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia last time, so he found out all the way to Jiangjia Village and deliberately took revenge.
After Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun's explanation, everyone present understood why this man wanted to burn down the workshop.
But after I understood it, I became even angrier.
"You bastard!" Jiang Youcheng kicked the man. "You're not only doing shady business, but you're also harboring evil intentions. Do you want to take revenge on our workshop?"
"This bastard, is he trying to kill Jiangjiacun?" Jiang Zhengxin, who came rushing over after hearing the news, also spat.
The business here in the workshop is getting better and better, and the benefits it brings to the entire Jiangjia Village are visible to the naked eye.
This person wanted to set fire to the workshop, which was equivalent to cutting off the lifeline of Jiangjia Village! Moreover, it was late at night and the wind was strong. The farmhouses were connected, and there were many bamboo weaving things in the workshop. If the fire started, it would not only be the workshop that would suffer, but other families would also be implicated.
If the fire was not put out in time, it is possible that the entire Jiangjia Village would be burned down.
This man seemed to be burning down the workshop, but in fact he was harming the entire Jiangjia Village.
The other people present naturally understood the principle of "when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer". They were increasingly displeased with this man and either kicked him or punched him.
"Everyone calm down, just teach him a lesson or two, don't make things worse, or it will make us look unreasonable." Jiang Zhengxin said, "Tie this man up first and send him to the county government tomorrow."
"Yes, let the county magistrate punish him severely!"
"This kind of person deserves to be crippled. He deserves it!"
"He is so cruel that he doesn't even deserve to live. It's too good for him to be disabled!"
"We'll tie him up like this tonight, not letting him eat, drink, defecate or urinate, and take him to the county town tomorrow..."
In the middle of summer, it’s okay not to give him food, but if he is not allowed to drink water, I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it for the whole night, especially if he is not allowed to go to the toilet.
Ahem…
It's okay. The people in Jiangjia Village don't mind sending him to the county government office like this. Why should he be so picky? Jiang Zhengxin asked several young and strong men to tie Wei Wanshun up in the ancestral hall. Two or three people took turns to guard him. When it was dawn, they sent him to the county government office.
Wei Wanshun, who was about to be sent away, had his eyes bloodshot. If his mouth had not been blocked, he would have wanted to bite Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun.
These two bastards cheated him of so many things and disrupted his prosperous Guanpu business. They also caused him to be taken to the government office, where he was beaten with thirty sticks and it took him a long time to recover.
But even if I can recover, I can't get this business back.
The county town was only that big, and people there loved to spread rumors and listen to what they were told, so word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and many people knew that he was messing with Guan's business.
Wei Wanshun thought about disguising himself and changing his appearance to do business again.
But this person mostly spread rumors and was easily persuaded to believe something that had never happened but was a bad thing. Therefore, many people in the county did not refuse to do business with him, but simply no longer believed in Guan Pu and could not do business at all.
Wei Wanshun had no choice but to go to the town, or even walk through the streets and villages to try his luck.
I never thought that the people in this town and the village were all barbaric peasants, selfish and self-centered. They would be attracted by good things, and would not say anything if they got what they wanted. But when they didn't get what they wanted, they would act like scoundrels and would not give up no matter what you said...
As a result, he not only lost money in business, but was also severely punished by the villagers.
It can be said that the loss outweighs the gain.
Wei Wanshun was so angry that he was fuming. He was so angry about what had happened to him that his teeth were itching.
But what he hated more was not the unruly people who robbed his things, but the young man who almost took all his things that day, and his arrogant and unreasonable wife.
If it weren't for these two bastards, how could he have fallen to this point?
Wei Wanshun was filled with hatred, especially when he saw Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia in the county town again. The two of them had just returned from delivering goods to Zheng's shop, and their looks were full of joy, which made Wei Wanshun even more furious.
His business can't even continue, so why can these two bastards run their business so smoothly?
Wei Wanshun was angry and wanted to cause trouble for the two of them.
So, after asking around along the way, we learned that these two bastards lived in Jiangjia Village and had a bamboo weaving workshop at home.
Moreover, the management of this bamboo weaving workshop is very lax, the wall of the workshop is not high enough, and there is no one guarding it at night. Although there is one more person living in the workshop at night in the past few days, he is just a child after all, and the child seems to sleep very soundly at night and will not wake up easily.
Wei Wanshun visited several spots in succession and found a place where it was easy to climb over the wall. Tonight, he sneaked over the wall.
It can be said that as long as he could throw the small porcelain bottle filled with lamp oil in his hand into the warehouse and then throw the tinder in, the fire in the workshop would be difficult to put out.
Even if it could be destroyed, the workshop would have to burn a lot of goods, which would seriously affect the business.
But he really didn't expect that this child, who usually slept like a dead pig, didn't sleep tonight and even attacked him.
What he hadn't expected was that this child, who looked thin and weak like a bean sprout, actually had so much strength and could hit someone so hard that the boy didn't have the strength to fight back.
What he didn't expect was that after the child shouted a few times, people from Jiangjia Village came so quickly.
This time, he had no way to escape and could only be sent to the county government office to be punished again.
And all of this is because of that young man and his wife!
Wei Wanshun gritted his teeth and struggled to pounce on Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia, but no matter how he struggled, he could not get his wish.
