Chapter 72 A New Beginning
Halfway through dinner, there was a sudden noise outside the restaurant. Yan Liqiang heard someone outside screaming, "Shatu people are coming here to make trouble..." Hearing this, Yan Liqiang and Shi Dafeng had not moved yet, and the guys in the restaurant rushed out in an instant.
"Let's go out to have a look..." Yan Liqiang said to Shi Dafeng, Shi Dafeng nodded, and the two of them followed him downstairs.
Several young men from the restaurant had already rushed to the kitchen, and rushed out with several chefs with kitchen knives.
Just outside the restaurant, the same street is more than 50 meters away near Jiulong Bridge. At this time, there were already a lot of people around. The shops in the whole street rushed over with their things and rushed towards the crowded place there.
Yan Liqiang and Shi Dafeng also ran to the side of the crowd. When they looked around, they saw a large group of Shatu people gathered at the door of a pharmacy, shouting loudly. There was also a Shatu person who was completely old and could not tell the age. He was lying on a wooden board at the door of the pharmacy, covered with a white cloth, with his mouth slightly open and his eyes closed, as if he was dead.
"Our pharmacy has never done business with you Shatu people. You are cheating people..." A man who looked like a shopkeeper turned red and angry at the door of the pharmacy. He shouted at the Shatu people, "Everyone will judge, these Shatu people brought a dead person over, saying that they had died from taking the medicine from our pharmacy and asked our pharmacy to pay them 1,000 taels of gold. There is no such reason in this world. We asked them to take out the prescriptions and medicine lists for prescriptions and medicines in our pharmacy, and they couldn't take it out..."
"We don't care. Those prescriptions have been lost. This old man died of taking the medicine from your pharmacy. We died. How do you say accompany me..." A Shatu man in his thirties shouted loudly. A group of Shatu people around him cooperated and shouted together, "Pay money, pay money, pay money..." A group of Shatu people started to coax and began to smash the door of the pharmacy. Several Shatu people wanted to rush into the pharmacy, but were stopped by the men from other shops who rushed to the streets around.
Just as the two sides began to push each other, a team of constables patrolling nearby ran over sweating and quickly separated the two sides. After asking the whole story, a young man in the team of constables said frankly, "Did this Shatu die from taking medicine? Isn't it clear if you just give it to the coroner for a check?"
"We Shatu people, even if we die, we cannot move around. This is a blasphemy and insult to us!" An elderly Shatu people said, stretched out their hand and slapped the young detective in the face, knocking off the young detective's hat. The young detective was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to pull out the iron ruler to fight back, but was pulled by an old detective beside him. The old Shatu people who had just slapped the young detective just now shouted, "The constable in Pingxi City is about to beat people, the constable is about to beat people..."
Seeing this scene, Shi Dafeng next to Yan Liqiang was so angry that his face turned red, "Fuck..." Shi Dafeng roared angrily and was about to rush up, but Yan Liqiang grabbed his hand.
"We can leave after we beat people, but the shopkeeper who runs the pharmacy will be even more unlucky. If he can't move the shop, the people of Shatu will definitely retaliate against him. Do you want the shopkeeper of the pharmacy here to bear the consequences of taking action for us..." Yan Liqiang said calmly.
"Then just watch these Shatu people bully people?"
"Look at it and talk about it..."
The constable was coming, but the conflict at the scene did not continue. In the end, the constable brought all the Shatu people and the shopkeepers of the pharmacy to the criminal arrest yamen.
The door of the pharmacy was closed, and most of the onlookers dispersed.
"Lao Fang's pharmacy can't be kept. This pharmacy is well located and is on the east side of the bridgehead of Jiulong Bridge. The Shatu people are jealous of Lao Fang's pharmacy for a long time. Even if Lao Fang's lawsuit can be won, the Shatu people will not give up..." The people watching next to them were talking, and many people were indignant.
"If those Shatu people occupy Fang Zhanggui's pharmacy, the business on this street will eventually be ruined by Shatu people. We will support Fang in any case, so we will save the pharmacy. Let's go outside the criminal arrest yamen to cheer up Fang..."
"Let's go, let's go..." A group of people from the chamber of commerce on the street discussed here for a while, and the last group of people all walked towards the criminal arrest yamen.
"Do you want to go and have a look?" Shi Dafeng asked Yan Liqiang.
"After entering the prosecution yamen, I have been arguing with Shatu for more than ten days and a half months. This matter will not be a result in the short term. Let's go back!"
"How come Pingxi City is so messy by these Shatu people? We are bullied by Shatu people. Fuck it. No wonder my father never does business with Shatu people. These Shatu people are simply damn..." Shi Dafeng was still in a state of turmoil.
Yan Liqiang shook his head helplessly, and only three days later arrived in Pingxi City, Yan Liqiang had seen the arrogance and domineeringness of Shatu people in Pingxi City twice.
This situation is more serious than Yan Liqiang imagined, and this is no longer a problem with "Wai'en Ling".
After being a human being for two lives, Yan Liqiang knew very clearly what the foundation of a gang organization could grow in peaceful times. It was not that this organization could cut, fight, and kill, but that this organization had a protective umbrella and a power protection. The same principle applies to these Shatu people. The growth and unscrupulousness of Shatu people in Pingxi City is completely impossible without the protection and indulgence of the power in Pingxi City.
Who is the umbrella of Shatu people?
Although this answer is a bit unacceptable, based on my experience yesterday, the highest ruler in Pingxi County is the person who is most likely and capable of standing behind these Shatu people.
Yan Liqiang has always been skeptical about the so-called ethics and character of officials. Many times, power is like a magnifying glass. When someone takes power, that power will infinitely magnify the greed, desire and ugly side of that person.
It is actually very easy to corrupt a person.
To be honest, this discovery did not make Yan Liqiang happy, because Yan Liqiang suddenly discovered that the Shatu people who were clamoring to take revenge on him was a truly unshakable behemoth for him.
At this time, in addition to quickly becoming stronger, Yan Liqiang could no longer find any more ways to deal with the threat of Shatu people.
In the next two days, although Shi Dafeng came to ask him out, Yan Liqiang did not leave the small courtyard he rented. In addition to buying something outside to fill his stomach while eating, Yan Liqiang spent two consecutive days in the basement of the courtyard, practicing Yijin Washing Sutra and Tiger Screaming Fist over and over again...
