sweet wife little confused

Chapter 253 Backhand
An Xiu'er sneered twice, and lightly parted her lips: "Nie Zhongtong, I originally wanted to give you a chance, but if you are so ignorant, then you can't blame me."

"Hmph, let me see what tricks you can do!" Nie Zhongtong said coldly.

To be honest, An Xiu'er has never experienced being pointed at with a wooden stick in such a vicious way, but she knows that the more afraid she is, the more rampant the enemy will be, so the more afraid she is, the more It is to be calm, and the more you have to laugh.

"Do you know why I dared to bring so many people here?" An Xiu'er picked up the porcelain cup on the table and stroked it lightly.

"Why?" Nie Zhongtong asked.

"Because I've already prepared a backup." An Xiu'er said, "If you can bribe someone from the government, so can I, and I'm more generous than you, and I've taken the title of righteousness, so this time you're doomed." gone."

When Nie Zhongtong heard it, sweat started to drip on his forehead again, and the person who had encouraged him just now started talking again, "Boss, what are you afraid of her, what you say is useless, if she has evidence, come and find me What are you doing? Just let the people from the government arrest you? She went to bribe the government, but we never got any news."

"It means that your news is blocked!" An Xiuer glanced at the young man who spoke just now, and felt that his eyes were indescribably sinister. Kill your shopkeeper, after all, Mr. Nie has paid for our Zhang family for 30 years, if you can rein in the precipice, I don't want to tear myself apart from you."

"But if someone does a toast and refuses to eat the fine wine, then it's no fault of me!" An Xiu'er took the cup and smashed it heavily on the ground.

As the clear voice moved forward in the room, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly poured in outside. These guys holding wooden sticks, when they saw these officers and soldiers, they began to soften their hands.

It has been a truth since ancient times that the people do not fight against the government. How dare these few people fight against the government? They quickly made way for these officers and soldiers to come in.

"Are you planning to commit murder with this wooden stick?" The iron chain in the hand of one of the leading officials shook a few times.

With such a simple sentence, these guys all threw down their sticks. Although they dared to point sticks at An Xiu'er, they didn't dare to point sticks at the local officers and soldiers!

"Treasurer Nie?" The officer and soldier walked over in a nonchalant manner.

Nie Zhongtong was a little scared all of a sudden. In the past, these officials didn't treat him like this. They greeted him with smiles when they saw him.

"The elder brother was sent just in time, my wife came to inspect the store, and this Nie Zhongtong actually wanted to kill my wife!" Qiu Yu said with a bow.

The official waved his hand, "Take it away!"

Nie Zhongtong was taken away by these officials before he had time to get close to them. He shouted, "I'm wronged." All were taken away.

After they were all taken away, the room suddenly became empty. An Xiu'er was still sitting in place drinking tea, her guards were still standing guard inside the shop, and people with good deeds stood at the door I looked inside the shop, but after seeing the two guards guarding the door, I didn't dare to come in.

After sitting in this courtyard for a long time, An Xiu'er took out a certificate from the sleeve cage and said, "Give this to Mr. Zhou Mu!"

After finishing speaking, there was a trusted aide beside her who came forward and took the case.

What An Xiuer said to Nie Zhongtong just now was not to scare him, but if she could persuade him, it would save her from having to rely on the government to solve this trouble.

If you rely on the government, you will inevitably have to deal with it up and down again. She finds it troublesome and doesn't really want to be with those government officials.

Since ancient times, this person's desire has never been satisfied. There is an old saying: Greed is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.

"Sister, what should we do now?" An Tieshi asked.

"Go and call all the shopkeepers in Cangzhou City!" An Xiu'er ordered.

This time she came here, in addition to some guards she brought, there were still a few who were also the original shopkeeper here. The shopkeeper in Cangzhou knew that Nie Zhongtong wanted to change his account, but not all of them were on his side. There are always some conscientious shopkeepers who don't want to see Nie Zhongtong succeed.

This time An Xiu'er was able to learn the news, thanks to their report, otherwise, when she knew the news, the day lily must have been cold.

She gave an order, and the shopkeepers below will do it right away. Before, they might have looked down on An Xiu'er in their hearts, but now, no one dared to underestimate her. Who would have thought that she would be unconscious Among them, have you already prepared your backhand?It's just a pity for Shopkeeper Nie!

In fact, An Xiu'er was not happy in her heart. If it was not a last resort, she naturally didn't want to use the second hand. In other words, her prestige is not enough. If her prestige is sufficient, a few words can make Nie Zhongtong surrender everything obediently. Why? She needs to spend all her time talking, but she still has to invite people from the government?
An Xiu'er waited for a while, and the shopkeepers from other shops invited by several shopkeepers came over. When they entered the room, they saw An Xiu'er sitting on a chair with a blank face, as if she had been waiting for them for a long time, and they were all overwhelmed in their hearts. I feel a little uneasy, I don't know why An Xiu'er called them here, could it be that she wants to settle accounts after the fall?After all, they were just watching and did not report to her.

Trembling, he saluted An Xiu'er, and all the shopkeepers stepped aside.

An Xiu'er didn't speak, just drank tea slowly, the lid of the cup hit the rim of the cup and made a crisp sound, everyone felt the beating on their hearts, which made them a little trembling, and they didn't even dare to take a breath, it passed for a long time Only then did An Xiu'er ask, "Is everyone here?"

"It's all here." A shopkeeper replied.

"En." She just nodded and said, "Do you know why I called you here?"

No one speaks.

Seeing this, An Xiu'er put the teacup in her hand on the table and made a muffled sound.

"Why don't you talk? Don't you have any ideas in your heart? Or are you like Nie Zhongtong, looking down on me, the head of the Zhang family?" An Xiu'er said coldly.

The shopkeepers replied in unison: "The villain dare not."

"You are all old people of the Zhang family, you must have worked for the Zhang family for more than ten years." An Xiu'er said.

Everyone nodded, they all started slowly as small buddies, and it is not easy to be able to become the current shopkeeper.

"I know your hard work. You have devoted yourself to the Zhang family all these years." An Xiu'er said one sentence indifferently, but her tone became sharper in the next sentence, "But this is not because you are lazy, cheating, filling your pockets, or even trying to change names. reason!"

"People live in the world, relying on nothing more than loyalty and sincerity. They do their best to serve the public, do things, and treat people with the virtues of loyalty; from words, from success, from faith, from the heart, it is called sincerity. The way of heaven is the way of heaven, and the way of people is the way of honesty. Our Zhangjia merchants spread all over Daqi, relying on nothing more than four words: 'loyalty, honesty, sincerity, and trustworthiness' If you can't even do this most basic morality If so, then I advise you to resign as soon as possible!"

When she said this, everyone was silent.

An Xiu'er quickly said: "If anyone feels that they cannot be honest or loyal, they can come to me now and ask for resignation!"

No one answered her words, and after a while, An Xiu'er said: "Since there is no one, it means that you all agree with the word loyalty? Does this mean that you will be loyal to our Zhang family and sincere to visitors from all over the world?"

After finishing speaking, her piercing eyes swept across the shopkeepers.

"Yes!" The shopkeepers replied, their masters taught them to be honest and loyal a long time ago, but sometimes, after being shopkeepers for a long time, their hearts will inevitably be clouded by dust, and they will forget their original intentions.

"In that case, that's good."

Only then did An Xiu'er stand up, walked in front of the crowd, and said: "You must know the reason why I called you this time, two points, one is to tell everyone, keep in mind the word loyalty, and cleanse your heart diligently , don’t let it be covered with dirt and be blinded by the prosperity of the world; the second is that Nie Zhongtong was taken down by me, and our Zhang family’s semicolon in Cangzhou needs a new big shopkeeper, do you have any recommendations?”

Cangzhou is just a semicolon, and she doesn't have time. If she stays in Cangzhou more, she naturally doesn't have time to observe them more, so she can only rely on a short investigation to identify them.

Although these people concealed the truth and did not report it, she still wanted to give them a chance. However, these shopkeepers were self-aware. They were afraid that An Xiu'er would settle accounts in the future, so they simply lowered their heads and looked at their noses and noses and their hearts.

After seeing Nie Zhongtong's end, they were also afraid that they would not be able to keep their hearts clear. Now they only want to keep their current positions, and they dare not expect more.

An Xiu'er was not particularly satisfied with them, but seeing these candidates all lowered their heads, she felt even more dissatisfied in her heart, and she said, "No one is willing to recommend themselves? Everyone thinks that they are not qualified to be the big shopkeeper of the Cangzhou Branch Location?"

She said so, but still no one came forward, An Xiu'er shook her head, she was really disappointed with them in her heart, she sat back on the chair again, and said: "It seems that I have to stay for a few more days."

"Since everyone is unwilling to be the big shopkeeper, then go back and ask someone to call up all the shopkeepers from the three counties. I will see if there is a suitable person among them. Come to each store to select, this time I will choose the big shopkeeper, regardless of seniority, if you have someone in your mind, you can also apply!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up, and without looking at the shopkeepers, she just led them back to the inn to rest.
