Chapter 207: Butcher Zhang’s plan hit the wall (please subscribe!!) Beiping City, inside Zhang's Pork Shop.
Butcher Zhang was a little confused looking at the piles of unsellable lard meat.
"On weekdays, the best-selling items are these lard meats, but why has no one suddenly come to buy them recently?"
Butcher Zhang is tall and thick-set, with a full beard and bell-like eyes. He is also shirtless with only a leather apron hanging on his upper body, which makes people scared just by looking at him.
"Master, I've found out clearly!"
Just when Butcher Zhang was confused, a sharp female voice sounded outside the door. The next second, a fat but well-dressed woman ran in. This person was none other than Butcher Zhang's wife, Zhang He.
"Madam, please tell me quickly, what is the reason?"
Butcher Zhang stood up suddenly and took Zhang He into his arms.
"The boss opened a shop called Ma's Oil Shop in the east, west, north, and south of the city, specializing in selling a vegetable oil called rapeseed oil. The price is only [-]% of our lard, so everyone Go to Ma’s Oil Store to buy rapeseed oil, but no one comes to our store to buy lard anymore!”
"I think this Ma's Oil Shop has plenty of rapeseed oil. It doesn't look like it can be purchased in a short time. If this continues, we may not be able to sell our lard."
"Master, what should I do?"
Zhang He said with a worried look.
"Ma's Oil Shop? How come I've never heard of it?" Butcher Zhang asked with a puzzled look.
"I also asked about this. It seems that Ma's Oil Shop was founded by a businessman named Ma in the capital." Zhang Heshi explained.
"foreigner!?"
Snapped! Butcher Zhang directly hit the butcher's knife on the chopping board, "What the fuck! I, Butcher Zhang, have been around in Beiping City for so many years. I am the head of the pork business. I am the owner of nine of the ten butcher shops in Beiping City." Yes, you dare to steal my business. You dare to do this when you first came to Peiping. I'm afraid this 'Ma's Oil Shop' doesn't want to be around anymore!"
Butcher Zhang was a bully in Beiping City in his early years. Later, when he saw the huge profits in the pork business, he drove away the original pork merchants, became a butcher himself, and opened a pork shop. After so many years of "management", he successfully monopolized the entire pork business. It specializes in supplying pork to the dignitaries in Beiping City, and has its own strong network of connections, so there is no need to worry about anyone! "Steal my customers at low prices, right? I can do that too!"
"Madam, go and lower the price of lard and meat to the same price as that vegetable or oil! Fight with me. I will make it impossible for him to gain a foothold in Beiping City!"
Butcher Zhang said fiercely.
"Master, are we cutting prices too harshly?" Zhang He said worriedly.
"Female, what do you know? The Ma's Oil Shop is obviously coming for us. If we don't fight, others will think that I, Butcher Zhang, am afraid of him as an outsider!"
"Besides, the profit of our lard meat is high. Even if we sell it for only one-tenth of the price, we won't lose money. Once the Ma's Oil Shop is driven away, we can raise the price back." Butcher Zhang said confidently.
There have been other butcher shops that competed with him on price, but in the end they were all driven away, and this time is no exception.
"The wise man in charge! I'll make arrangements right away!" Zhang He turned his worries into joy and walked out of the shop with his big buttocks turned.
But not long after, Zhang He came back with a sad face.
"Master, no! Even if we lower the price, no one will buy our lard meat!"
"What's going on?" Butcher Zhang was also confused, "Humph, I'll go and see for myself!"
brush-
Butcher Zhang picked up two butcher knives, and also called the meat cutters from the pork shop and walked onto the street.
Soon we arrived near the "Majia Oil Shop" in the east of the city.
"Master, look, there's a line of people outside the Ma's Oil Store, all of them wanting to buy rapeseed oil." Zhang He pointed at the long line of patters and said with jealousy on his face.
"I'm not blind!" Butcher Zhang said angrily.
Then Butcher Zhang casually grabbed a man who was trying to buy oil. When the man saw that it was Butcher Zhang, he was frightened and said, "Butcher Zhang, I...I didn't offend you, did I?"
"Let me ask you, the lard meat in my butcher shop is only one-tenth of the original price, why don't you come and buy it?" Butcher Zhang asked in a deep voice.
"Butcher Zhang, the lard meat has to be boiled after you buy it, and it doesn't feel good in your mouth after you eat it. But this rapeseed oil is different. You can use it directly after you buy it. It's clean and transparent, and you can use it with peace of mind!" the man said truthfully.
"I tell you, if you dare to go to Ma's shop to buy oil, I will beat you every time I see you! Get out!" Butcher Zhang grabbed the money from the man's hand, and then ordered his younger brother, "Take him to our butcher shop Buy lard meat at the previous price!”
Even if he was treated like this, the man did not dare to resist, because the man in front of him was Butcher Zhang!He is a well-known bully in Beiping City and has connections with many officials. If he fights with many parties, he will definitely suffer in the end.
Wait for the man to be sent away.
Butcher Zhang looked at the bustling Ma's oil shop in front of him, his eyes becoming more and more gloomy.
"Master, it's useless for us to only rob one person! There are so many people in front of their shop!" Zhang He muttered.
"Madam, don't worry!" Butcher Zhang said solemnly: "Since normal business methods won't work, then I can only resort to other methods. I can only blame Ma's Oil Shop for causing me trouble. Bad luck!"
"Wang Mazi!"
"Master, I'm here." A thin man with a pockmarked face walked out from among the meat-cutting boys.
"Go to the west of the city to find Mr. Li Wu and tell him to ask him to lead people to disrupt the business of the four shops in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Majia Oil Store. I will take care of all the pork of their Black Snake Gang this year!" Butcher Zhang said in a deep voice.
"Master, don't worry, I'll go and send a message right away!" Wang Mazi nodded and bowed, then turned around and ran towards the west of the city.
"Hutu!"
"Master, I'm here!" Another meat cutter stood up.
"You have been delivering pork to Zheng Captou and Liu Dianli. You should immediately deliver half a fan of pork to each of them. Just tell them that Ma's Oil Shop is having trouble with me and I hope they can help. !" Butcher Zhang continued.
"understand!"
As the meat-cutting boy named Hu Tu left, the smile on Butcher Zhang's face became brighter and brighter, "Let's wait and see the good show next!"
After saying that, Butcher Zhang directly took Zhang He and the other meat cutters to sit at the roadside tea stall, just enough to see the situation of the 'Ma's Oil Shop' opposite.
After a while.
Then I saw a few local hooligans starting to cause trouble in front of the Majia oil store. The original orderly queue to buy was broken. The shopkeeper in the oil store quickly came out to deal with it, but before he could say anything, he was slapped. Knocked to the ground.
"When you come to open a store in Beiping City, you actually dare to ignore our Black Snake Gang. Your boss really doesn't understand the rules!"
"Everyone around, listen, Ma's Oil Store has offended our Black Snake Gang. From today on, if you dare to buy anything from their house, you are going against our Black Snake Gang!"
"Hmph! You all know the consequences of going against our Black Snake Gang!"
"let's go!"
After putting down their cruel words, several gangsters from the Black Snake Gang walked away without anyone daring to stop them, leaving a mess behind.
People who originally wanted to queue up to buy oil have changed from queuing to a wait-and-see state, and are afraid to step into oil Black Snake Gang is a well-known gang in Beiping City. The members of this gang are hooligans and many desperadoes. It is said that their hands are stained with blood. If they offend them, they will no longer be able to live in Beiping City.
"Report to the official! Hurry up and report to the official!"
"How dare you act like this in broad daylight? Is there any royal law?"
The shopkeeper, who was slapped to the ground, stood up with the help of the clerk. This was the first time he encountered such a thing and he was very angry.
The voice just fell.
A head catcher led two detectives, and was accompanied by a government official.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he looked pleased, "The government's actions are so fast!"
“Sir, catch, someone claiming to be the Black Snake Gang just came to our store to cause trouble. Not only did they break a lot of our things, but they also beat people. You must bring them to justice!!”
The catcher and the official looked at each other and smiled.
The catcher said solemnly: "This catcher received a report that he vomited and had diarrhea after eating the oil from your Ma's Oil Store. He suspects that the oil you sell is fake! Now we want to take the shopkeeper of the Ma's Oil Store for interrogation. From now on, Majia Oil Store will be closed for business and will not be allowed to open for business until the matter is investigated clearly!"
what! !
These words made the oil shop owner dumbfounded. He was even more confused than the slap he had just received.
Soon, the oil shop owner also reacted and roared: "You two corrupt officials are in the same group as the Black Snake Gang!! You are framing me! I want to see the Chief Envoy!"
Liu Dianli said in a deep voice: "Slandering government officials will be punished with an additional penalty!"
Zheng Captou sneered again and again, "If you want to blame, just blame yourself for offending someone who shouldn't be offended. You are really whimsical. You want to see the Chief Envoy, are you worthy?"
"Take it away!! Seal this oil shop for me!"
Butcher Zhang, who had been watching the show opposite, happily came over with his people when he saw this.
"Zheng Captou and Liu Dianli have worked really hard!"
"Boss Zhang, you're welcome!"
Liu Dianli and Zheng Captou were also quite polite when they saw Butcher Zhang.
Zhang Butcher then came to the oil shop owner who had been arrested and was being detained. "Brother, it's a pity that this good oil shop has been closed down. Why don't you sell Ma's Oil Shop to me and I'll let Zheng How about arresting the headman, Liu Dianli, and letting you go?"
"Are you a butcher? How can you do this?" the shopkeeper asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Butcher laughed arrogantly, "I won't hide it now. Let me tell you the truth. I was the one who called the Black Snake Gang, and I was also the one who hired Liu Dianli and Chief Zheng. Invite me, the oil sold in your oil shop is cheaper than my lard, and the quality is better. Everyone comes to buy oil from you, but no one buys my lard. Who do you want to do if I don’t do it? "
"It turns out it's all you!" The shopkeeper suddenly realized.
"Now that I've made it clear to you, I'll tell you the truth. If you still want to get out of Beiping City alive, sell Ma's Oil Shop to me!" Butcher Zhang said solemnly.
"I didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of a butcher today. This oil shop does not belong to me, and his boss is not something you can offend. I advise you to stop immediately, otherwise the consequences will be serious!" the shopkeeper said solemnly.
"Hahaha, you are already like this, and you still dare to say such big words! It seems that you won't cry until you enter the coffin!" Butcher Zhang turned to the headman and the official and said, "Then I'll trouble you two. Sir, if this thing comes to pass, I will definitely give you a generous gift!"
"Good talk!"
At this moment, an eagle-eyed man came out and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute!"
"What the fuck, who are you? If you dare to meddle in other people's business, I will destroy you!" Butcher Zhang said fiercely when he saw the stranger, and he still looked dusty.
"The Ma's Oil Shop is not allowed to close! Let him go too!" the eagle-eyed man said in a deep voice.
"Who are you! Such a loud tone! Why do you let this oil spread?" Zhang Butcher roared.
The silver-eyed man looked at Butcher Zhang as if he were a fool, then raised his right hand with a gilt token in his hand, "That's it!"
"What kind of broken token is this? You're fooling people here! These two people beside me are the chief catchers and the foremen of the yamen, get out of here!" Zhang Butcher said with his teeth and claws.
But Zheng Captou and Liu Dianli were so frightened that their faces turned pale after seeing the token.
Seeing Butcher Zhang's behavior, Liu Dianli first slapped him in the face, and Zheng Captou even kicked Butcher Zhang away.
"Arrest this reckless butcher!"
"I've met Lord Jin Yiwei Zhenfu Envoy!"
Zheng Captou and Liu Dianli quickly bowed their hands to the eagle-eyed man, their faces extremely panicked.
"I've heard everything. You two should handle the matter first, and then come to Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division to explain your crimes. Do you understand?"
"understand!"
Zheng Captou and Liu Dianli trembled all over.
They never expected to be bumped into by the Jin Yiwei town governor. The Hu Weiyong case and the empty seal case were handled exclusively by Jin Yiwei. Many officials were tortured to death by Jin Yiwei. They didn't dare to run away. If they ran away, their families would be You have to suffer on their behalf, and with Jin Yiwei's intelligence capabilities, you will be caught even if you run away, and your end will only be even worse!
In the eyes of Ming Dynasty officials, Jinyiwei is synonymous with devil! brush-
Zheng Captou and Liu Dianli cast their eyes on Butcher Zhang who was pinned to the ground. They wanted to tear this guy alive because this guy caused the two of them to provoke the Jin Yiwei. The meaning of the governor was very clear. Then Whether they can survive or not depends on how well Butcher Zhang handles it.
"Take Butcher Zhang back to prison!"
Zheng Captou said.
"Zheng Captou, Liu Dianli, what's going on! Is it some misunderstanding? We are not."
Butcher Zhang was still confused as to why these two people had turned against each other!
"Gag him!"
Liu Dianli said quickly.
One of the detectives immediately took off his socks and stuffed them into Butcher Zhang's mouth.
"Woooooo-"
Butcher Zhang looked confused.
At this time, Ji Gang walked up to Butcher Zhang and said, "Looking at you like this, you should be illiterate. Remember, this token says - Jinyiwei Zhenfu Envoy - Ji Gang, that is me!"
Jinyiwei! !
Butcher Zhang's face suddenly turned pale. (End of this chapter)
