Chapter 31 Imprison
Boss Liu immediately said, "Boss Lu, don't be impatient, don't be impatient."
Boss Zhang muttered twice in private and immediately stopped saying anything.
Boss Liu looked around at everyone, and the little abacus in his heart cracked again. It seems that there are many people who are unwilling to pay three times the money. Because the Yu faction violated their interests, they have unconsciously stood on their side. This is much easier to do.
Boss Liu cleared his throat and said with a smile, "At present, you have two ways to go. One is to pay three times the money. Second, it is to unite and boycott the big faction together. How to choose is up to you.
"Boycott? Are you crazy? How to resist? With such a toss, Yu Dapai has already asked us for three times the protection fee. If you are tossing around, will you even sell your wife and children? Boss Zhang said.
Boss Lu was not happy to hear this and immediately stood up and asked, "I'm surprised. Is Yu Dapai really your grandfather?" Why do you listen to what he says? Are you a little promising? Even if you are not promising, don't let others follow you.
Boss Liu coughed twice, waved his hand and said, "At this time, everyone should calm down. After listening to my analysis, Boss Lu, you sit down first.
Boss Lu gave Boss Zhang a blank look with dissatisfaction. Boss Zhang turned his head and deliberately did not look at him.
"Think about it, what does Yu Dapai live on? In addition to his half-dead supermarket, it depends on your protection fee. How much money can his store make a month? Aren't they all using your money? Think about it, if Yu Dapai is alone, who of you will be afraid of him? Aren't you afraid of the ruffians and hooligans under him? How much money does Yu Dapai have to feed his hooligans? Don't you use your money to feed them? Think about it, you are using your own money to feed the hooligans and scare yourself!" Boss Liu said righteously.
Everyone couldn't help turning their eyes. Isn't that the truth? Think about it, isn't this the way to make a condom for yourself and put it around your neck?
Seeing that everyone was moved, Boss Liu hurriedly said, "So, I'm not talking about you. You have to continue to pay this protection fee, and then you will play with fire. Brother, I have an idea. As long as everyone resists the big faction together and doesn't believe it, he still dares to do evil!"
"But what if he comes to smash the store?" Boss Li asked.
Boss Liu looked at everyone and said, "If Yu Dapai dares to smash any of your stores, all our businesses will be closed immediately. As long as the government gives us justice!"
"Good!" Boss Lu shouted.
Zhen Xing stood in front of the carriage with an anxious face, carrying a basket of food. Xiao Fuzi gently touched the horse's mane. His dead father used to sell horses, and he has also been infected since he was a child. This horse of the Qi family is not only for pulling cars, but also a first-class horse. Even in the horse pens of the richest family in Yili, it is not inferior.
Zhen Xing's hands were held together, and her heart was about to jump out of anxiety. After another cup of tea, Boss Liu came out with a jailer, and Zhen Xing hurriedly greeted him.
"Ok, but don't take too long." Boss Liu said.
Zhen Xing nodded gratefully to him and stuffed two taels of silver into the jailer's hand. The jailer led Zhen Xing into the prison with a smile.
This was the first time that Zhen Xing entered the prison. As soon as she stepped in one foot, she suddenly felt a stench coming to her face. Zhen Xing couldn't help frowning, covering her nose with a veil, and following the jailer.
After walking for a while, the jailer led Zhen Xing to the door of a cell. The jailer opened the door, and Zhen Xing walked in. In the dark, I couldn't see the man lying on the ground clearly.
Qi Bosong heard a noise at the door and opened his eyes lazily. I saw a woman in light blue clothes standing at the door. Qi Bosong was stunned, rubbed his eyes, and immediately cheered up.
"Zhen Xing?" Qi Bosong shouted.
This shout didn't matter, and Zhen Xing's tears immediately flowed down. Hot tears fell to the ground along Zhen Xing's face.
"Bosong..." Zhen Xing cried and walked over.
Qi Bosong stood up. Zhen Xing was only half a meter away from him. Just as he was about to reach out and hug Zhen Xing, he suddenly remembered his identity. He hurriedly took back the hand that had been stretched out.
"Are you...are you okay?" Qi Bosong asked.
Zhen Xing only waited for Qi Boxong to hug her, and then the two told the pain of lovesickness for a few days. Unexpectedly, Qi Bosong suddenly stopped his hand. Zhen Xing knew that he thought of the difference between the king and the minister again.
"Ye�, it's okay. The store has been closed for the past few days, and I don't dare to open it. I'm afraid that Yu Dapai will make trouble. How about you? How are you? By the way, they didn't torture you, did they? Zhen Xing suddenly reminded herself that she couldn't help pulling Qi Boxong's arm and carefully looking at Qi Boxong's body with a faint light.
He was still wearing the clothes when he was caught. Although he was a little thin, his eyes were still full of blaze. It's as bright as when she first saw him.
Qi Bosong shook his head with a smile and said with a smile, "No, they didn't torture me. It's just that I don't know what crime I'm committing."
Zhen Xing nodded and always felt uncomfortable. The two of them don't look like life and death when they meet. Zhen Xing took a breath and said slowly, "Don't worry, Brother Liu has gone to check it. I'm afraid I have to wrong you for a few more days. Yesterday, I was going to write a letter to Lord Cui, but later I thought that it seemed inappropriate to do so.
Hearing the words "Lord Cui", Qi Boxong couldn't help frowning and whispered, "Don't bother Lord Cui. He is a busy person, and he doesn't have time to take care of our little things. Go back and have a good rest. When will they let me out and when will we open? I don't believe it either. Can they lock me up for the rest of my life?
Zhen Xing originally wanted to tell Qi Boxong that the business wanted to discuss the joint boycott of Yu Dapai, but on second thought, there may be Yu Dapai's eyeliner here, so she had to give up.
On the afternoon of the next day, Yu Dapai really couldn't stand it. A group of people were sent to smash Boss Lu's store. Boss Lu gathered the bosses of other businesses and entered Xianghezhuang together.
Zhen Xing attended the meeting on behalf of the Qi family. Boss Liu was interested in the hope that Qi Bosong would be released through this strike. He asked the county magistrate for specific information that Qi Boxong was accused of improper management.
This charge makes Zhen Xing very puzzled. Is there such a charge in this era? If Qi Bosong is convicted, she will sue the big faction for unfair competition. In a word, all the charges she can think of should be sued.
Boss Liu's explanation is that Qi Boxong was sent in by the concubine of the county magistrate. The county magistrate should also maintain the image of the public, even if it is a trumped crime, it should be given to Qi Bo Song'an. Otherwise, the government will arrest people at will. Is that okay?
The county magistrate promised to release him immediately as long as he had 500 taels of silver. Zhen Xing was in a hurry to send the money. Unexpectedly, Boss Liu had another idea. Boss Liu wants to take advantage of this shop strike to let the government know the people of Yu Dapai. Five hundred taels of silver will not rot if you put it there, but he must crush the Yu faction to death this time.
Everyone discussed the specific plan and dispersed. Before leaving, Boss Liu specially told Boss Zhang that if he became a traitor, all merchants would boycott him at that time.
Zhen Xing's painstaking efforts**, said to Boss Liu, why not take this opportunity to organize a chamber of commerce? In this way, everyone is organized and disciplined. It can not only avoid bad competition, but also face foreign invaders together.
Boss Liu thought this was a good idea. He said that although the daughter-in-law of the Qi family was a woman, she also had a business mind. From then on, I looked at Zhen Xing differently.
The most prosperous commercial street in Yili went on strike. From the cloth shop in the east of the street to the sauce meat shop in the west of the street, everyone is closed and no one can be seen.
On the whole street, only one business in Yujia Supermarket is open. Yu Dapai was secretly proud of himself. If they closed it better, they could make a fortune. Who knows, the shopkeeper reported to him that his family had not been able to operate normally since it was out of stock last time. Yu Dapai hurried to the supermarket to have a look. Sure enough, there were only a few goods scattered on the shelves, as if they were looking for a yellow shop.
On that day, the street was particularly desolate. It's cloudy, as if it's going to snow in late spring. People who wanted to buy something came to the street to have a look. The houses were closed and couldn't help but be stunned.
The stray dog lying on the street also came out to wander. He has been wandering on this street for many years, and it is the first time he has encountered such a situation. Even the restaurant was closed, and he couldn't even find the rest of the sw.
It's not only the big yellow dog who can't find a restaurant, but also the big family can't find a restaurant to have a banquet. Ili's business is almost paralyzed.
Guys on holiday either take to the streets or stay at home. There are many people who have nothing to do, and it is inevitable that there will be quarrels. The young and energetic guy started to fight. The catchers were busy for a day. At first, they were arrested in prison. Later, they simply gave oral education.
Zhenxing and other business owners sat calmly in the private room on the second floor of Xianghezhuang, and everything that happened outside was as they expected. Zhen Xing occasionally felt a burst of excitement in her heart. What would Qi Bosong have reacted if he knew what happened today?
This unquiet day is about to pass. Yu Dapai ordered his subordinates to buy goods anyway, even if they buy goods at a high price. He is just going to make a fortune these days!
In return, it is said that a camel team that often shuttles through southern Xinjiang is willing to sell some daily necessities, such as sugar, salt, etc., at a high price. Yu Dapai was very happy and received the goods at twice the market price.
