Chapter 263: Bullying

After returning from Zhangcuo, Lin Yanchao moved back to live in Zhongzhong for a long time, except for the club of Wenlin Society, Lin Yanchao did not go out of the door and wrote books at home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The annotations of ancient texts in Shangshu sold well, not only in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and in the hands of readers in the Jiangnan area, but also spread to Beijing.

It is a pity that in this era, there is no such thing as copyright, and the author is not protected.

Those travelers who plan to become famous by copying can have the idea, but if they want to get rich by copying, it will be disappointing.

In fact, this "Annotations on Ancient Texts of Shangshu" sold hundreds of copies before, and Lin Yanchao still advanced money to publish the book, which can almost be called half of his own expense.

What a painful realization it is to become a best-selling author and lose money instead!

However, since he plans to say that Lin Yanchao is ready to continue his career as a best-selling author, the shopkeeper Qin has already sent a package ticket to Lin Yanchao, and the next masterpiece must give a sufficient manuscript fee, which may be sent to Lin Yanchao.

It's just that the money with the poor Baba's ten taels of silver is not as much as Lin Yanchao's one-time donation to the Hope Project (Hongtang Social Studies).

The days lasted until the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

Lin Yanchao was studying at home when he suddenly received a post signed by Lin Yanchao's former classmates in the academy, on behalf of an associate manager of Shengmao Bank, invited Lin Yanchao to Desheng Building, a famous restaurant in the provincial capital.

Lin Yanchao didn't care at the time, he didn't go anywhere to study at home, and he took the post and threw it aside. And the third uncle happened to be passing by, picked up the post and said amazingly.

The third uncle said: "Yanchao, don't you know that this Shengmao money village is not small, it is the top three money houses in the provincial capital. There is as much silver as a river. ”

"So what?"

The third uncle smiled and said: "Such a big money village is exactly what I have always wanted to befriend, but in the past, when I came to deliver posts, others ignored it." This time, I'll send it straight to you. ”

Lin Yanchao frowned when he heard this: "I have been ignoring it on weekdays. But this time, he took the initiative to come to the door, isn't it a little strange? ”

The third uncle smiled and said: "Yanchao, you are too careful, recently our silver shop business has gradually improved, Shengmao Qian Zhuang came to the door, what is wrong with wanting to get to know us." I've been asking lately if someone is willing to give me a little bit of money through their fingers. We can do at least 30% more business. So this time he invited us to go, we must go, even if we can't negotiate business, we get acquainted with the deputy manager or shopkeeper of Shengmao Bank, and we will be inexhaustible in the future. ”

Lin Yanchao hesitated: "I always feel that it is inappropriate. ”

The third uncle said: "Yanchao, what's there to worry about, it's normal for us businessmen to come and go." I guess that a while ago, there was a silver shortage in several money banks in the city, and in the provincial cities, we were the most affordable. That's why Traders is in a hurry to find us to exchange copper coins. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "A merchant as big as Shengmao Qianzhuang has old customers, how can he do business with us if he doesn't look for those old people?" The third uncle is better to be cautious. ”

The third uncle said disapprerovantly: "Yanchao, you are too much heart. ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "I also think it's too much, since that's the case, third uncle, you can go on my behalf, anyway, it's about the money." It's up to you to decide. ”

The third uncle hurriedly said: "Then how can it be done, it is you who invited." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's okay." It's okay for you to listen to the rumors first, but don't make a decision on anything, and discuss everything when you come back. ”

At that moment, the third uncle smiled and said: "It's okay, since the other party is a deputy manager, it's not worth it for you to go." ”

The next day, the third uncle came back from the banquet. went straight to the study to find Lin Yanchao.

The third uncle said: "Yanchao, you really expected it right, this time the deputy manager of Shengmao Qian Zhuang did not find you a good thing." He actually took a fancy to our silver shop business and wanted to merge us. ”

Lin Yanchao was not too surprised and said: "If the price is right, then sell it." ”

The third uncle hurriedly said: "Yanchao." This amount of money is not sold, this silver shop is easy to get a little better, the silver has not yet been hot, it is going to be bought, I am not reconciled. ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "When the third uncle said this, I understood, I thought you were going to sell it." ”

When the third uncle saw Lin Yanchao say this, he immediately complained: "Yanchao, how are you doing this, third uncle, can't you believe it?" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "When I saw that you were so enthusiastic about the third uncle, I thought that you had already discussed it with Shengmao Money, and if you don't sell it, you won't sell it." ”

The third uncle said angrily: "I said the same thing, but the deputy managers of Qian Zhuang went out of the store and put on the background of the proprietor of their family, saying that his family had a term of envoys, and if we didn't sell it to their family, we must look good." He said that when he invited Xie Yuanlang to the banquet, this face was enough for us, and if we didn't agree, we would turn our faces. ”

Lin Yanchao frowned and did not speak.

The third uncle said: "Yanchao, you said that this Shengmao Qianzhuang knows that you are Xie Yuanlang, and plans to move us to dump the silver shop, is it fearless?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Before you went to the banquet, I inquired about the background of the proprietor of Shengmao Qianzhuang, and there was indeed someone in his family who served as an envoy to Yunnan during the Longqing period. Yunnan is good, our Ming Yinshan is in Yunnan, when Jiajing Ye, he also started casting Jiajing Tongbao in Dongchuan Mansion, Yunnan. When he served as the envoy of Yunnan, he must have made a lot of oil and water, and after he became a minister, his son and nephew used his connections to open a money village in Fujian. ”

"So they can really afford to mess with us?" The third uncle was a little scared.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "Although it is said that he is the envoy of Zhishi, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse." However, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there is nothing to worry about. You are staring in the shop these days, don't make a mistake! ”

While he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and it turned out to be the guy from the silver shop, and he said: "The shopkeeper is not good, there are a few troublesome ruffians on the counter, saying that the silver we exchanged is fake silver." ”

The third uncle listened to it and said: "This, this, how is this possible, I have never been a fool in business, and the revenge of this money village is really fast." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It's useless for the third uncle to be angry now, this guy, you take my post, go to the Yamen of Minxian County, and go to find the team leader inside!" Third uncle, Zhanming, let's go to the shop and have a look. ”

At the moment of Zhanming's car, Lin Yanchao and the third uncle went to the shop on Dongmen Street.

This street is the main road into the city, the traffic is busy on weekdays, the Lin family's shop is open here, but I saw that there were three ruffians gathered in front of the shop, but whenever there were guests who wanted to enter the Lin family's silver shop, they were all pushed away and scolded: "What is there to go to such a shop where people sell fake silver?" ”

The third uncle was trembling with anger when he saw it, Lin Yanchao didn't speak, he wanted to see the third uncle's strain first.

But seeing the third uncle walk up and said: "Below is the shopkeeper of our store, we don't know how to offend a few heroes in the silver shop, we want to apologize, or silver, let's discuss, but can you not block the door, hinder our business." ”

The third uncle made money in the spirit of businessman and anger, but the ruffians said with their faces to the sky: "If you want us to go, okay, you will lose 1,000 taels of silver, two will break one finger, and three will smash the signboard of your store, and one less will not be discussed." ”

The third uncle's face changed when he heard this, and several of the guys inside stood by the door and said, "Shopkeeper, we didn't give fake silver, they planted it." ”

The ruffians shouted, "Nonsense? This is the money that your shop has written, and here is the proof! ”

The third uncle glanced at the silver and sneered: "Fake, this is too rough, it is clearly made of imitation of the silver in our store, you can accept it when you see it, otherwise we will go to the official mansion to make it clear!" ”

Those ruffians immediately pushed the third uncle and shouted: "What Lao Tzu said is fake is fake." ”

"I actually used the government to suppress Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is not afraid that it will be the government."

"If you don't lose money today, this matter is not over!"

Seeing that the third uncle was beaten, several guys stepped forward and shouted at the shopkeeper, but the three ruffians turned around and punched and kicked.

Lin Yanchao said to Zhanming: "It's okay for you to clean up these three ruffians, right?" ”

Zhan Ming said disdainfully: "Back then, the would-be robbers killed more than a dozen people, what is this ruffian?" ”

Lin Yanchao said with his hand: "Don't start too hard, it's enough to stand up." ”

Zhan Ming smiled and said, "Okay! ”

At that moment, Zhanming grabbed a ruffian who was slapping the clerk. The ruffian scolded, "What are you doing? ”

But when he saw Zhanming, he twisted the ruffian's hand into a twist, and the other two scolded: "Let go of my brother." ”

The two of them rushed forward together, but saw Zhanming punch and kick, and after a while, both of them were lying on the ground.

The onlookers all clapped their hands when they saw Zhanming knocking over three ruffians with five divisions and two divisions, and then someone shouted: "The catch is coming, the catch is coming." ”

The people on the side said: "Hurry up and tell this good man to leave!" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this, and did not ask Zhanjin to leave.

When the head of the Minxian squad arrived with more than a dozen catchers and archers. Originally, he was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead three ruffians, but they all came back to life at once, knelt on the ground and cried to the squad leader: "Squad leader, squad leader, just now this person instructed the slave to hurt me!" You see the wounds on my body, it is proof, and these neighbors can testify to us, please do justice to our abbot, and take down this thug. ”

The other party pointed to Zhan Jindao.

The team leader glanced at Lin Yanchao first, and then shouted at the three ruffians: "Nonsense, it's obvious that someone accused you of disrupting order, obstructing the store's business, and beating the clerk. ”

Saying that, a few catchers quickly stepped forward and tied down the three injured ruffians with iron ropes and leather ropes.

The three ruffians shouted at the moment: "Where is there such a thing, in broad daylight, is there still a royal law?" ”

However, no one paid attention to them, and this quick action was unceremoniously and arbitrarily rectified, adding to the injuries of the three ruffians.

The team leader smiled with Lin Yanchao at the moment: "Master Lin, it is really a dereliction of duty to have such a bad man under his rule, and please don't blame it." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Alas, no one can do anything, but this kind of troublemaking is really disturbing the local peace, and it is better not to take it as an example, I will not mention this matter to He Zhixian, you can do it yourself." ”

The head of the team said with a grateful face: "Then thank you Master Lin, you must not make an example." ”

At that moment, the head of the team turned his head and shouted at the three ruffians: "Take the three Diao people back to the yamen, and give me a good trial!" (To be continued.) )
