Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 190 Stand firm
Gu Sixiao's indifference surprised all the shopkeepers present.

Some people think that Gu Sixiao is young, doesn't know the depth, and doesn't understand the consequences of leaving shopkeepers like them alone.

The shopkeeper Zhang from Nancheng stood up and said, "Little lady, you don't have much experience and don't understand many things. Why don't you go back and ask the senior officials so that you can talk—what you just said , we all just think that you are young and energetic, if you don't check it all the time, and if you say something wrong, let's just pretend that you haven't heard of it? Right?"

As soon as he spoke, all the shopkeepers responded immediately, and you said something to each other, as if it was Gu Sixiao who had done something wrong.

Shopkeeper Zhang from Qingshui County looked at Gu Sixiao with a sullen face, hesitated, but finally stood up, "Well, shopkeeper Zhang, although you are an old senior, you are still in the same case as the junior 500 years ago, but what you said I still have to say, you are like this, but it is wrong..."

"What's wrong?! You kid, you are still young and fledgling, so you just want to criticize your seniors, right? Pooh, you don't take a pee to take a picture of yourself, what the hell is it!"

Immediately swearing, the old shopkeeper Zhang's face was full of contempt, and the shopkeeper Zhang in Qingshui County blushed, but he looked at Gu Sixiao from the corner of his eyes.

He is not a fool, although the shopkeeper scolded fiercely, he clearly pointed at Sang and Huai, and he was scolding him publicly, but Gu Sixiao was scolding secretly.

He could hear it, and Gu Sixiao could hear it too, but he didn't know how angry Miss Gu would be.

Still sullen, Gu Sixiao didn't seem angry on the surface.She even smiled when she looked at shopkeeper Zhang in Nancheng.

"Shopkeeper Zhang is right. I'm——young, but so what? I've said what I said today, and you really have to listen to it, and you have to listen carefully! Today's affairs are up to me. , even if you invited the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, that’s what I’m saying! Either hand over the stolen money, and I’ll give you a chance, or else, go to the prison and calm down, and think about what you have done wrong these days?! People You are doing it, the sky is watching, do you really think that retribution will not come?!"

"Little lady, what are you talking about..." With a cold snort, shopkeeper Zhang flicked his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Little lady is too reckless, if you come to be the home of the Xue family, I am afraid that sooner or later you will lose the Xue family. Alright, let's not talk about this with this unreasonable little lady, we all quit our jobs, please ask the little lady to find someone else wise!"

"I want to quit my job, okay!" Gu Sixiao watched and stood up, responding to everyone in shopkeeper Zhang, sneered and said: "I won't stop you, but before you leave, it's better to pay back the stolen money, send someone to the door, and use an iron chain When I lock everyone, is it really nice? Also, before everyone leaves, I would like to introduce a few friends to you.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and patted her palms twice.

But after clapping his hands twice, the door opened, and someone filed in from outside, standing respectfully in front of Gu Sixiao.

"Little lady, the subordinates and others are ready."

Gu Sixiao nodded, but did not speak.

The shopkeepers who were about to leave just now recognized the person who came:

"Ah, isn't that the chief steward of the Su family? There is also that one, who seems to be the shopkeeper of the silk and satin village?!"

The more they recognized, the more frightened they were.

The people who entered the house were all shopkeepers or stewards of the Su family. Although they were not rich and squires, they were well-known in Jinan City. I am afraid that everyone who was a shopkeeper knew them.

What did the little lady invite these people to come for? !Could it be that it was planned early in the morning to let people replace them?
This surprise was no small matter.Several shopkeepers looked at each other in blank dismay, and did not go out.

Just now they didn't think that Gu Sixiao was just putting on airs to scare people. Where could they find more than 20 shopkeepers to replace them?So they are not afraid of Gu Sixiao's harsh words.

But it's different now. Judging from this posture, it is clear that they are going to replace them all the time, maybe even the little lady is waiting for them to resign?
Not to mention whether he will be sent to prison, if he really leaves Xue Ji, he will lose a lot of income. It is hard to find a good employer like Xue's now.

And after leaving in such a disheveled manner, if there are rumors about corruption, no one else would dare to hire them.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, the faces of the shopkeepers turned pale, and their feet felt a little weak.

On the other hand, Shopkeeper Zhang gritted his teeth and stiffened, "Little lady, you are doing something wrong! You want people from the Su family to take over the property of our Xue family. Do you want to give the Xue family to the Su family? This kind of thing, senior officials Do you know? Does the old lady know?!"

"Our Xue family?" Gu Sixiao smiled, looking at shopkeeper Zhang, she smiled slightly, and said, "I don't even know, when did the Xue family and you become us? Or did shopkeeper Zhang usually regard the Xue family as a Is it in your pocket?! Also, you have been close to Li Chongyang on weekdays, I am afraid that he has promised you some benefits, so that you think that the Xue family is your meat on the plate, the fish on the plate!? But Unfortunately, the Xue family and you are not us..."

Raising her head, her eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, "Listen up! Now, the Xue family is in charge of me! What I said just now is the Xue family's decision! As long as you return the stolen money within ten days, I will let the past go. However, this does not include shopkeeper Zhang..."

Her voice was soft, but shopkeeper Zhang was stunned, and asked unconsciously, "Why?"

"You shouldn't ask me why, but you should ask what you did? Li Chongyang bought the murderer to kill, how much of your business is involved here?!"

Suddenly hearing the words "buying murder to kill", shopkeeper Zhang was shocked, and subconsciously said: "What does it matter to me? He is not looking for those people I introduced..."

One word out of his mouth, he knew something was wrong.

Covering his lips, he looked at Gu Sixiao, and then looked around. Sure enough, the shopkeepers who were following behind him and looking forward to him all widened their eyes at this moment, with a look of disgust on their faces, and hurriedly dodged to the side. avoid his meaning.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you are really unethical! You thought everyone was the same, but it turned out that you didn't say anything about it. You still want to pay someone to kill someone. This is a life-threatening lawsuit! You deserve it, you , just do what you want, don't implicate us big guys!"

The shopkeeper who spoke flicked his sleeves and took a step back. The shopkeepers around him immediately booed, "Don't get everyone involved..."

Shopkeeper Zhang, who was the boss just now, was kicked out after only a few words.

His face was burning hot, shopkeeper Zhang gritted his teeth, and still insisted, "Little lady, I really didn't want to do that with Li Chongyang! This, even if the government investigates, I'm not afraid."

"Yeah, you didn't do it, but if you have the chance, you will do it!" Gu Sixiao sneered and said: "Master Zhang, don't worry, the government will naturally investigate these matters. It doesn't matter if you are innocent or guilty. , the government will definitely check it out! You have corrupted the Xue family's money, and then you will not only have to return the stolen money-in order to argue here, it is better to go home and raise money. You know, the yamen Everyone has a big appetite…”

After saying this sentence, no matter how tough shopkeeper Zhang is, he couldn't help but change his face.

The other shopkeepers were even ashamed.

What Gu Sixiao said was not unreasonable.As the saying goes, "The door of the yamen is open, and no one can come in if there is a reason and no money." Even if the plaintiff is justified, if he enters the yamen once, he will never get out without peeling off his skin.What's more, they did something wrong?
If he was really put in prison, he would have to pay back the stolen money. It would cost a lot of money just to make accommodations.

Mother!This little lady seems really determined to deal with them!

When the time was judged, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "Little lady, I have been working as the shopkeeper in Xue's family for more than ten years. I started as a small boy and rose to the shopkeeper, all thanks to the senior officials." People mention it, although the young lady is now in charge, but the old man's love is still there, how can I be willing to leave Xue's house, so that the little lady has no capable people to call on? Don't worry, little lady, what you said is small You can hear everything clearly, now go back and do as the little lady ordered..."

Once one person speaks, it will not be difficult for others to say the same thing later.

One, two, three, until the shopkeeper in the last room was gone, before leaving, he didn't forget to show his loyalty to Gu Sixiao.

Seeing that the general situation was over, shopkeeper Zhang didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. After thinking and thinking, he gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of Gu Sixiao, bowed left and right, and slapped himself twice in front of everyone, "Little lady, the little one is I was deceived by lard, and I just talked nonsense. Please forgive me for the sake of my many years in Xueji! I will go home now, return the stolen money, and do things well in the future. Be a good person..."

Staring at shopkeeper Zhang, Gu Sixiao's expression was a little weird, "Shopkeeper Zhang, didn't you hear what I said before? I can continue to use other people, but you - no! You are so cruel and vicious. Scorpio-hearted person, how do I know when you will find someone to kill me? You want to pay back the stolen money, but Xue Ji, don’t even think about returning it! As for the matter between you and Li Chongyang, will the government know? Check you, but it's not something that a little girl like me can say."

Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to ask again, but seeing Gu Sixiao's indifferent eyes, he also knew that there was no possibility of returning to Xue's family, so he could only retreat and beg, "Little lady, don't sue the government, the villain will return the stolen money immediately."

Without saying a word, Gu Sixiao watched the shopkeeper Zhang get up and retreated out with a sigh, but he didn't say a word, just looked at him coldly.

Things changed so fast that the shopkeeper Zhang in Qingshui County stared straight at the sight, and when everyone left, he remembered, "Little lady, since you have found a new shopkeeper, why don't you fire all these people? It's really annoying to see them like that."

Gu Sixiao smiled, shook her head and said, "How can it be so easy?" Turning around, she looked at the manager of the Su family, smiled and saluted, "It's time for the manager and shopkeepers, thank you for your hard work."

"Little lady, don't be polite. You are the mistress of the little ones. It is only right for you to do things for you..." The head steward politely returned the salute, and asked with a smile if there were any other orders. A lot of shopkeepers withdrew.
