As he was walking, he suddenly heard a shouting and scolding from the front. Du Zhongxiao took his entourage and stepped forward to watch. I saw a butcher shop, and two big men stood in front of the shop, like fierce gods, glaring at a peasant in front of him, and the peasant was holding a seven or eight-year-old child in his hand.

Du Zhongxiao asked the middle-aged man beside him: "This big brother, what happened ahead?" ”

The man said: "This countryman comes here to buy meat, and his accents are not clear, and what he says is not the same thing. The meat was cut off, but it was not what the man wanted. In addition, the boy kept asking for the little loin on the sheep, and in other words, he annoyed the meat seller and kicked the peasant. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, seeing that the farmer was holding his lower abdomen with his hand, his face was a little ugly. The child was so frightened that he took the farmer's hand and looked at the crowd around him in a panic, but there was no one he knew.

The big man who sold meat reported his fists with both hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, you see, this guy is messing around here, and he wants this and that, but the meat is cut off but he says no." Our brother sells so much meat in one day, if everyone is like this, then what is the deal? ”

Some said yes, some shook their heads secretly, and many more remained silent.

Du Zhongxiao listened to this accent, there were traces of barbarians in the mountains, and it didn't sound clear. This is also normal, after the Song army entered, the barbarians in the mountains were moved out, and they went to the good terrain around the cities and set up villages. These people don't understand the language, and it is rare to be able to speak like this in a year. However, there is something special about the accents of these two people, which is difficult to understand.

Seeing that no one spoke for the peasant, the two big men were very satisfied, opened their throats, and continued to sell.

The beaten farmer held his lower abdomen for a while, he couldn't help it, and said to the meat seller: "Master, I paid the money, meat-"

The big man casually picked up a piece of meat wrapped in lotus leaves next to him, stuffed it into the farmer's hand, and said impatiently: "Go, go quickly!" ”

The peasant shook his head: "This is not my meat!" What I want is—"

Hearing this, the face of the big man selling meat immediately changed: "If you dare to be wordy, I will kill you with half of your life!" ”

The farmer's temper was very stubborn, that is, he didn't want the meat that was handed over, but he said that he didn't want this. There was a lot of people here, some people froze here, and those who passed by walked away, so angry that the teeth of the two big men selling meat were itching. The meat that the peasants wanted had already been sold, and even if they wanted to give it to him, they didn't have it yet. The child took the farmer's hand and glanced at the meat seller from time to time, a little frightened.

Seeing that the business was not good, the big man who sold meat was angry, picked up the knife that sold meat and said: "The meat has been given to you, don't delay our business!" If you entangle here again, I will stab you to death, and you will not have a New Year! ”

Du Zhongxiao looked around, and there were people buying New Year's goods everywhere, coming and going. After passing by here, he glanced at the arguing peasants, and hurried away. There were only a few idlers, gathered around, and they were talking with great interest.

After watching for a while, no one from the mall came, Du Zhongxiao said to the people around him: "This is the mall site, why has it been noisy for so long, and no one came?" Without the people of the mall to come forward, how could this farmer be the opponent of the meat seller? ”

The man: "How many things are going on in the mall?" How can you care about all this! Brother, the stalls here have changed people in recent days, and the original tenant collects some money and lets someone else sell it. These two brothers who sell meat came here yesterday, and I heard that they are from the mountains. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded and said, "They are not proficient in Chinese, and they think that they are only like this if they are people in the mountains." It's just that at the beginning of the year, the road was merged with the township and the village, and the people in the mountains all went to live on the flat land, how could there be them? ”

The man said, "It's so stupid! When the place is vacant, the Khitan people on the opposite side will not come to occupy it when they see it? There is no license plate here, and the people in the mountains drive sheep into the city to sell, what can others say? These two people, in my opinion, are Khitans nine times out of ten. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded and didn't say anything more. Seeing that the meat seller and the farmer over there were getting stiffer and stiffer, pushing and shoving, looking like they were about to do it again, he whispered to the soldiers around him: "Quickly go back to the yamen and call Chen Xiliang!" ”

The soldiers agreed and hurried away.

When the man selling meat saw that his business was affected, he became anxious and pushed the farmer to the ground. When he raised his legs, he was about to kick it, but he saw Du Zhongxiao in a blink of an eye. Seeing that he was magnificent, there were many people standing beside him, not like ordinary people, and they withdrew their legs with hatred.

After a while, no guests came, and another big man whispered, "Brother, this is not good. Eight sheep must be sold today, and as long as they are sold less, where will we make money except for rent? The meat that this man wants is really gone, so let's exchange it for some other meat. ”

The man nodded, and pulled another piece of meat off the shelf. I didn't bother to weigh it, so I wrapped it in lotus leaves, handed it to the farmer on the side, and said, "The meat you want is gone, take these, and leave quickly!" ”

The peasant shook his head: "Master, what is the use of asking for this meat?" Besides, if you kick me, how much does it cost? ”

When the man heard this, he became angry and said angrily: "If you talk nonsense here again, I will kick you and live or die!" ”

The peasant just shook his head, he didn't want this meat, he had to ask the two men to give themselves an explanation. There was a stalemate for a moment.

Du Zhongxiao has been leading people to stand there and not leaving, and the men who sell meat are becoming more and more weak-hearted, and they try their best to coax the peasants away.

When he was in turmoil, Chen Xiliang hurriedly came with a few people and saluted Du Zhongxiao.

Du Zhongxiao raised his head, pointed to the front and said, "Now is the season for New Year's goods." How many people enter the city at this time to buy some New Year's goods to prepare for the New Year. This is a shopping mall, speaking of a place where the yamen is located, but no one is in charge, what kind of system! ”

Chen Xi nodded yes, and whispered to the people around him to immediately call the person who manages the mall over for questioning.

Seeing this posture, the meat seller knew that he had encountered a big event today, and he did not dare to go wild again, so he had to let the farmer stand outside the door with his child.

Not long after, the person in charge of the mall came over and saluted Du Zhongxiao and Chen Xiliang.

Du Zhongxiao said: "During the New Year's season, there are many people who come, and there are naturally many things every day. Do you send people to patrol your mall? ”

Tang Jie, who manages the mall, said: "Hui Jieshuai, there are many affairs in the mall, and there is really no one. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "These vendors, I heard that many of them have changed people, do you know anything about it in the mall?" How is it managed? ”

Tang Jie's forehead sweated: "The vendors here are all signed three-year leases, and they usually manage them themselves, and the shopping mall does not interfere." ”

Du Zhongxiao pointed to the meat stall in front of him and said, "If someone is killed here, the vendors don't care?" ”

Tang Jiejie said helplessly: "Jie Shuai, according to the rules of the mall, it really doesn't matter." The mall only charges rent here—"

"Then why give this place to the mall! Wouldn't it be better for the government to collect the rent directly and rent it to others? The section level is handed over to the shopping mall here because the shopping mall is owned by the yamen and can be managed instead of the yamen. You only take the money, and you don't care about the rest, what is the use of it! ”

Tang Jiejie lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. At the beginning, the shopping mall outside was still in charge, and it was slowly slacking off, and it didn't matter at all in the past few months. The mall is only in charge of the inside, and if something happens outside, it will be inspected in the city and handed over to the manager's institute. In the past few days, the shopping mall has also discussed, because there are too many people outside, whether it is temporarily managed. As a result, there were too many various affairs, and in the end, it was settled.

Looking at the big men and farmers in the butcher shop, Du Zhongxiao said: "There are people from the yamen, figure out the affairs of these people!" Also, this is the territory of the Yamen, if the mall can't be managed, then it won't be under the control of the mall! ”

After speaking, seeing the child over there looking at him, Du Zhongxiao smiled at him.

Today's matter is not complicated, if Du Zhongxiao shows his identity, it will be solved soon. Can it be solved here, but what about other places? From this little thing, it can be seen that the current management is chaotic. In the long winter, it is not only Du Zhongxiao who feels bored, but also many people.
