Xiao Xuanxuan got everyone's confirmation, and looked at the steward with disdain. His face was so angry that it looked like a palette, and before the steward could speak, he said:
"Brothers, this Haokefang is owned by the Guo family. The head of the Guo family is the adopted son of the Empress Dowager in the palace. This steward probably wants to wait for the officials to arrive and use the excuse that the storehouse was robbed to pin the responsibility of the theft on us."
"How dare he! What imperial concubine? What kind of imperial concubine? Is the imperial concubine that great? The current emperor and empress are both reasonable people. Just because he says we should steal, we should steal?" A gambler shouted angrily.
"Who knows? Everyone, since he said the storehouse was robbed, let's take off our clothes in front of all these elders and fellow villagers. After all, we are all grown men and we are not afraid of being exposed.
If we take off our clothes and find out that we don't have the silver they claim was stolen from the treasury, and he still refuses to let us go, then we will have to charge him for lost wages."
Seeing everyone stunned, Xiao Xuanxuan pulled a gambler and asked, "Big brother, I have a business deal to do later. This is a big deal involving 100,000 taels of gold. What about you? Do you have anything to do?"
The gambler reacted instantly upon hearing this and said, "I have an appointment with someone today to collect the money. He borrowed 1,000 taels of silver from me and hasn't paid it back yet. I finally found him. If I miss this opportunity, I'll never have another chance."
"That's right! We all have important things to do. Either pay us now or pay us for our losses!"
"Yes, yes, I'm going today..."
"Me too. In a quarter of an hour I will..."
In the entire gambling house, all the gamblers were asking for big money, and all they kept saying was that there would be big business soon, or that they had to collect debts or something like that.
"In that case, let's all take off our clothes and let the elders and friends outside see whether we stole the things or Hao Ke Fang is denying it."
"good!"
After that, the gamblers took off their coats, trousers and shoes in front of the people outside the door, and followed suit and shook them off in front of everyone.
After everyone had taken off their clothes and found nothing stolen from the storeroom, Xiao Xuanxuan said with a smile, "Steward, it's not that I look down on you, but your Guo family is really cheap! It's just 410,000 taels of gold. Can't you afford it? Do you really want to trap us all here?"
"The elder brothers said today that they would stay with me until I got the money. You're completely wasting our time by delaying like this! Is our time supposed to be wasted?"
Most of these gamblers are scoundrels. Xiao Xuanxuan has just given them a chance to make a fortune, so how could they not use it?
Before the manager and the waiters of Haokefang had time to explain themselves, everyone had already unilaterally decided on the compensation for lost work time.
"How do you manage it? Look, we don't have anything on us, which means your warehouse has not been stolen at all. Either you pay us now, or you pay each of us present one hundred taels of lost wages for every quarter of an hour we are delayed." Xiao Xuanxuan said calmly.
The manager was so pissed off by Xiao Xuanxuan. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!
"Bah! You're blackmailing me!"
