Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 250 Losing money to avoid disaster

"I've already barged into your shop, why should I be polite?" Jia Zhen said impatiently. He hated cowards the most.

Wang Ren was stunned for a moment, "Brother Zhen, don't you see they are all at the bottom of the stairs?"

"What do you mean? Isn't the place under the stairs yours?" Jia Zhen asked back in confusion.

"Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Usually it is in front of this door."

"But wasn't it the same thing when Xue the fool blackmailed people that day?"

Jia Zhen actually understood what Wang Ren said, which sounded like a tongue twister.

"You mean that girl ordered it?"

When Jia Zhen mentioned that girl, his heart skipped a beat. If they were really relatives of the Lin family, it would be easy to explain.

What I fear most is people who don’t know the details. It will be even more troublesome if I hit a wall.

"What do you mean? Whose family is that girl from? Do you know who hired them?"

Wang Ren shook his head. Maybe Xue Pan knew, otherwise why would he hide?

At this time, Jia Zhen said, "You don't know where Xue Pan is, do you?"

"Go out and tell these beggars that since they claim to be surnamed Xue, they asked them to come."

"Let them go find the man named Xue."

"You don't know anyone named Xue here. If anyone causes trouble here again, we will arrest them and send them to Shuntian Prefecture."

Wang Ren's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is also a solution. You, as the clan leader, have a solution."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ren immediately called out, "Someone, follow me out."

……

Wang Ren led several assistants and strode out of the store. Facing the beggars gathered at the bottom of the stairs, he cleared his throat and announced loudly:

"Everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I just checked the store and there is no one with the surname Xue. If there really is someone with the surname Xue who instigated you, please go and find him yourself."

"This is my shop's territory. If anyone dares to cause trouble here again, don't blame me for being rude. I will send them directly to Shuntian Prefecture!"

Wang Ren's voice echoed in the cold wind, and the beggars looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, the shop assistants became bolder and stood behind Wang Ren, creating an aura that could not be underestimated.

At this time, the middle-aged women were not happy.

"If you say there is no such thing, then there is no such thing. If we find it, will you admit it?"

“How dare you break into my shop?” Wang Ren was a little panicked. What if a fight really broke out?

"No, no we won't break in, we abide by the rules, we just want to ask if you recognize it and exchange it for silver."

Wang Ren insisted on this matter and refused to admit it.

"This is not our business at all. How can we admit it? This is a frame-up. If anyone of you can tell me who gave you the information and who hired you."

"I have a reward here, too."

Wang Ren thought that these people must be loyal and brave, so no one said anything.

But who would have thought that the money-grubbers and beggars were greedy for money.

Everyone's eyes are shining, and finally the snowflakes are about to turn into silver.

"The shopkeeper's words are binding. Just tell me how much you want to pay each person."

"If you give us some money, we'll go our separate ways. Who can stand this freezing weather?"

Wang Ren was choked by these words and was in a dilemma.

With so many people, isn't this embarrassing?

You say, how nice it is,

Can the people behind this revelation come in groups?

Wang Ren pointed at the beggar in front and said, "Come in, I'll give you some silver, how about that?"

The beggar was so happy that he showed his big white teeth, "Boss, I will go in with you and take some money from you."

"Then can I still come out?"

"If you come out, you will be beaten to death."

"You think we beggars are so stupid and have no sense of loyalty."

"We won't make things difficult for your boss. There are fifty of us in total. Ten taels of silver per person, how about that?"

The leading beggar spoke clearly and with a clear goal in mind.

Wang Ren thought to himself, it's such a shame for you to be a beggar!

Better than anybody like me.

But this is such a loss. Five hundred taels of silver are used to give away beggars, and another five hundred taels of silver are used to give away those matchmakers who are dressed in strange shapes and are extremely eye-catching.

I lost a thousand taels for nothing, and someone else lied to me and I was blackmailed for a thousand taels.

This is so frustrating!

But how can we not do this? If we don't do it, there will always be people around to stop us from doing business.

He looked around and saw the beggars and matchmakers talking among themselves, as if they had already regarded the money as theirs.

He waved his hand suddenly to stop the noise, and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, if I pay, will you just leave and never come again?"

The beggar leader and the matchmaker leader said together, "Of course, we won't come unless someone invites us!"

Wang Ren's mouth twitched. How mean! How mean!

"Okay, man, guard, pay the money, pay the money, and then follow these people to catch the mastermind."

"If you catch me, beat him up first, and then send him to the government office."

"If it's a woman, even better, just bring her back to me."

"I have to break it down and explain things to her."

"Don't do that again!"

Wang Ren said these words with gritted teeth, still feeling unsatisfied.

"Okay! Here comes the money!" the beggar cheered.

Wang Ren suddenly realized, "Wait, what if you guys take the silver and run away?"

The beggar smiled at the matchmaker and said, "Don't worry, we will line up and not leave anyone behind. This little bit of money is just a drop in the bucket for your big boss."

"If we really dispersed, wouldn't you be able to rescue us immediately?"

"You won't lose anything if you spend money to avoid disaster!"

Wang Ren looked left and right, but couldn't think of any other solution. He turned to Jia Zhen and asked,

"Brother Zhen, look, will I be deceived?"

Jia Zhen had already grown impatient. We are all young nobles, but we are being bullied by beggars. Why are you still going on?

Either give silver or give a stick?

The Wang family has always been decisive and ruthless, but Wang Ren doesn't seem like a member of the Wang family.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and said to Wang Ren, "Pay special attention to the two leaders, if they really came here by trickery."

"You can make them disappear for a while."

Wang Ren's heart was shaken. He clenched his fists and bowed his head to give a few instructions to the people around him.

The people around him took the order and left.

Wang Ren then asked people to give out money. You have to say these people are quite well-behaved.

They lined up consciously, beggars in one line, matchmakers in another,

"You've taken the silver, so why aren't you going to give the flowers back?" The waiter held on to the silver and refused to let go.

The beggar held the flower tightly in his hand.

"No, I have to exchange this flower for one thousand taels of silver."

"Your ten taels of silver are just for me to identify the person behind the scenes,"

"You want to cheat my flowers? No way."

Hearing this, the waiter looked helplessly at Wang Ren on the steps.

Wang Ren closed his eyes and nodded angrily, "You cunning beggars, go and dream on!"

The boy had no choice but to pout and glare as he gave the beggar some money.

To be honest, it seemed like these people had never seen silver in their entire lives. After receiving the silver, they first looked at the silver in various ways with a grin, and then put the silver in their arms as if it were extremely precious.
