Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 338

Seeing the figures of the policemen, the shopkeeper was anxious like ants on a hot pot.What should I do? If the catchers don't leave for a day, his goods won't be shipped out for a day. Zhou Ji Buzhuang over there is in a hurry.

"The cloth from Jixiang hasn't come back yet?" Shopkeeper Sun asked the shopkeeper almost three times a day, staring at the people who bought it.The kid in charge of running errands was also quite helpless, shaking his head every time.

"Where is Jinxiu Dyeing Workshop?"

The errand boy continued to shake his head.

"What about He Shun?"

"Shopkeeper, let me tell you this. The three dyeing workshops have been detained by the yamen. If you don't check them out for a day, you won't be able to get out a piece of cloth. It's because the women in the town made a lot of trouble a while ago. Even the county Master Ling was alarmed. If you don’t give the ladies an explanation, the county magistrate will not let these dyeing workshops continue to supply cloth.”

Shopkeeper Sun supported the table and shook it back and forth.The kid running errands in fright said loudly: "Shopkeeper, are you okay? Do you want to invite the doctor?"

"It's okay." Shopkeeper Sun supported the handle of the chair and sat down slowly, "Keep watching. If any cloth comes out, take it back immediately."

When shopkeeper Cao came over, he saw him leaning on the grand master's chair with a tired face, and couldn't help whispering: "Are you okay?"

"What can I do?" Shopkeeper Sun let out a long sigh, "Old Cao, this year's business...is not easy to do!!"

"Why don't we send some money to the yamen? At least get our cloth out first."

"If I could get through, I would have been there long ago!" Shopkeeper Sun tore off the fan covering his face, "Isn't the point that we have a list from the county magistrate's wife in Zhou Ji? It was rumored that the cloth in the town was shoddy." At that time, the wife of the county magistrate also got wind of it. I reckoned that the sudden investigation of the dyeing cloth workshop was probably the work of the magistrate's wife. We have so many returned cloths in our account, and I am not clean. How dare I go to the yamen? !"

Shopkeeper Cao originally wanted to rush back to the shop to show his merits, but he was a little glad that he didn't step in the mess in front of him, so he persuaded: "Since this matter involves the county magistrate's wife, do you want to inform the boss? One sound?"
