Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 355 Su He followed Xu Chongshan to find Wang Xiaohu

The black-faced young man turned around and walked out of Yangmaoxuan. He gave him a fierce look and thought to himself, "Don't fool me. Let me find out and then cheat me. I will not let you get a penny. Get out of here."

His mob followed him, cursing as they went. They kicked the street vendors they met, with a savage and arrogant attitude that made people hate them.

The waiter Wei Min saw them walking away, then he cursed with a sullen face: "They are all hooligans. I don't know how many shops on this street they have destroyed. We just opened for a short time, and they come to cause trouble."

Su He came out and asked, "Do these people often do evil on this street?"

The waiter Wei Min said with a bitter face: "That's right, I heard from the guys in the shops next door when I was chatting with them. These people, led by Wen Bao, are collecting protection money here."

Su He asked: "Isn't there anyone in charge?"

The waiter Wu Shirong continued, "Why is there no one to take care of them? They don't do anything serious. If you don't pay them, they won't leave. They'll just hang around in your store, making it impossible for you to do business. If they're taken away by the government, someone will pay to redeem them, and they'll come back to cause trouble again."

Su He asked: "Then why are they coming to our store to buy it?"

Another waiter, Zhou Hailong, took over and said, "Some people don't have a backer, so they force us to buy our store at a low price and then sell it at a high price."

Xu Chongshan also said angrily: "I heard a long time ago that there is a group of scoundrels here looking for trouble on this street, but they came here to cause trouble right after we opened. They are bullying us because we are small and have no backing."

Su He and Xu Chongshan were both very angry. They asked a few waiters to keep an eye on the store while they went out together to talk to Wang Xiaohu about this matter.

They knew that there were bad guys like this everywhere, even in the Imperial City. But when Su He encountered this, she would not let it go. She still wanted to live a good life here and make Fenggu City a better place.

The two of them came to the general's mansion and asked them to invite Wang Xiaohu out. He saw Su He and Xu Chongshan coming over and asked them, "What's the matter that you're looking for me so urgently? Let's go to my place and talk in detail."

Su He said: "Uncle Xiaohu, there are some things we need to talk about in detail, so we won't be polite."

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to your uncle? Let's go back and sit down and talk after Chongshan leaves."

The three of them walked towards Wang Xiaohu's yard. Wang Xiaohu took them directly to the reception hall and ordered the servants to serve tea, water, and some good fruits and snacks.

After they sat down together, Wang Xiaohu asked, "Tell me! What's the matter?"

Su He said without hesitation: "Uncle Xiaohu, you know the wool shop I opened on East Street! As soon as it opened, we encountered bad guys who came to the door and forced us to buy at a low price. We can't say that you are one of the owners."

Xu Chongshan said helplessly: "Actually, I have no choice. I don't want them to continue making trouble, so I have to bring you up."

Wang Xiaohu said indifferently: "When you encounter trouble, you should mention my name. I can't protect you in Fenggu City, and the General's Mansion still has face."

Then he asked again: "Who on earth dares to act like this in Fenggu City? He is very courageous."

Xu Chongshan said: "I heard that the leader is called Wen Bao, and he is a relative of Lu Canjiang in the camp. He has become a nuisance in that street. The government has been locking them up and releasing them, but they can't do anything about them."

Wang Xiaohu tapped the table lightly with his fingers. He remembered who it was. General Lu had a concubine who was very favored, and it seemed that he had a brother-in-law who was always causing trouble and asked him to settle it.

He had heard of him before, but he was brave in battle and the general admired him. He was said to be a good person, but a bit lustful and had several concubines. They all knew about it, it was none of their business, and no one cared.

This time, he had to investigate the matter thoroughly. At the very least, he couldn't just let it go. But he couldn't just ignore it. This involved a military commander and couldn't be dealt with casually.

Su He also noticed that he was a little embarrassed, which was understandable. As colleagues, they still had to be cautious.

Su He said seriously: "Uncle Xiaohu, this person has some background, you should handle it carefully. We came here this time, first, to give you a tip, so that someone won't come to ask about it and you won't know anything."

"Secondly, I think people like this need to be taught a lesson. There will be many foreign merchants coming to our city in the future, and we can't let these rotten meat spoil the good soup."
