Chapter 167 I Just Won’t Open
The boss's face turned pale. He was obviously terrified by the sword at his neck, but he was still unwilling to agree.
Chu Er might consider showing a little mercy to other people, but he would never show mercy to such a black-hearted person.
So, when the other party gritted his teeth and refused to open the granary, Chu Er acted quickly and cut a gash on the other party's calf without thinking.
"Open the granary."
This time his voice was louder, and his movements without thinking seemed to be silently telling everyone that as long as the boss did not open the granary, he would continue rowing.
I promise this won't be the last wound!
He controlled it very well and the cut was not deep, but for a man like him with delicate skin and no training, the pain was the most terrible thing.
Seeing a cut suddenly appear on his leg and blood gushing out, the boss, who had never experienced such a shock, felt that his calf was about to break!
Chu Er in front of him and Chu Xi standing not far behind him were like the Shuras from hell in his eyes, and they became even more terrifying.
The owner of the house was in so much pain that he held his right calf in his hand, crying and shouting as if his parents had died, "I must report it to the police!"
Although he said he would call the police, he actually shrank into the corner, being the most cowardly person possible.
Damn it, he has always relied on his relationship with the county magistrate. Even though he can't do anything arrogant in Xi'an, at least under normal circumstances, people will give him some face.
Even in a situation like today, it is a one-sided beating of those people. No matter how unwilling they are, they can only swallow their anger and go home in shame to suffer this loss.
He has always been like this, but this time he clearly knew that he had hit a wall. Whether it was the aura of the guard in front of him or the temperament of the master behind him, they were silently telling others that their origins were not simple!
The more clearly they realize that Chu Xi is not simple, the more the boss dares not to open the granary...
"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. You are asking me to open the granary. It is against the rules, and I won't open it!" The boss is not a tough guy who can bear the pain. The reason why he has not given in until now...
It seems that the things in the granary will directly affect his grain shop and may even ruin his reputation!
The more this is the case, the more difficult it is for him to get away with it.
Before, Chu Xi had always wondered what the people from the northern grassland were doing in Xi'an City. Now she had a vague feeling that maybe... this boss with the support of the government was the one who could be pried open.
Chu Xi has always been aware of the bad habits of merchants. This has nothing to do with the era. Even in later generations, merchants are mainly concerned with profit.
As long as they can make huge profits, why would merchants care how many people can’t afford their products because of their price increases?
Moldy rice must never be eaten. Eating it can cause diarrhea at the very least, and even death at the worst.
No matter how tough the boss is, who wouldn't be afraid of a sharp sword at his neck?
Chu Er made a second cut without thinking, this time on the other leg. His action was swift and decisive, which made the people around him feel relieved.
The Dong family hugged his bleeding legs in so much pain and wanted to roll on the ground. The sword was right in front of him, and it was stained with his own blood. The bright red blood kept flowing down until it dripped onto the ground from the tip of the sword.
He had never felt such pain before. How could a person who was used to enjoying it endure such a torturous method of stewing meat with a slow knife?
"Lead the way." Chu Er repeated his previous words.
The Dong family's eyes were filled with fear and terror of Chu Er. It seemed that he had been frightened by his thundering methods and was too scared to refuse.
Chu Xi temporarily gave Chu Er a look that told him not to continue. With Chu Er's two quick and decisive strikes, she now walked forward slowly, and in the eyes of her boss, she looked like a deadly ghost.
She stood in front of the fat man who wanted to shrink into a ball, and said slowly, "I don't have a good patience. I have wasted too much unnecessary time on you."
In fact, she said this very calmly, so calmly that there was hardly any emotion mixed in.
However, with a subordinate like Chu Er around, Chu Xi must not be an easy person to get along with.
The boss' pale lips were trembling, and his trembling voice silently revealed his fear at the moment, "You are robbing people, what's the difference between you and bandits?"
"Of course there is a difference. They spent money and you sold rice to them. This is natural and reasonable!" Chu Xi smoothed out the wrinkles he had made before.
"But now you are selling moldy rice as inferior goods. This behavior is unjust and unscrupulous. How many people do you think will be willing to come to your grain store after this?"
As if responding to Chu Xi's words, Chu Er approached again with the blood-stained sword in his hand. Not only that, the look he gave Dong Jia was exceptionally cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.
The boss no longer dared to pin his hopes on the government officials who had not arrived yet. Faced with the threat to his life, he could only endure the pain, get up from the ground and go to the granary.
The granary is in the yard behind the grain shop. There are four rooms in the yard. Each of the square rooms has a heavy lock. You can tell the importance of the things inside just by looking at them.
Under the pressure of Chu Erjian, the Dong family did not dare to delay and could only open the door closest to them. People outside the house could not see what was going on inside.
But once the lock was unlocked and the door opened, the situation inside became clear.
The room was filled with bags of rice, packed and stacked up.
The people following behind saw a room full of rice and grain and rushed in, even forgetting that Chu Xi was at the door. Two of them bumped into Chu Xi's shoulder as they rushed in.
The old woman and the scholar were walking at the back. Their conditions were the most serious. It was difficult for them to move, let alone grab food with so many people!
The overjoyed people eagerly opened the rice bags to see what was inside, but they never expected...
It was full of moldy old rice, exactly the same as what they had in their hands!
Chu Er was startled, as if he had not expected this to happen, and he took the initiative to open several bags...
The results, without exception.
It's all moldy rice.
As a qualified guard, the first thing is to absolutely obey the master's orders and regard yourself as a sharp and emotionless sword. You don't need to have your own ideas.
Even though he was so calm, he couldn't help but get angry. He swung the sword at Dong Jia without saying a word. The other party was so scared that he immediately fell to the ground and forgot to beg for mercy.
Although Chu Er was angry, he still controlled himself at the critical moment, and the sword stopped less than half a centimeter away from the man's head.
"Open all the other rooms."
