While walking, suddenly there was a shouting sound from the front. Du Zhongxiao took his entourage and walked up to watch. He saw a butcher shop. Two big men stood in front of the shop, staring at a farmer in front of him, who was holding a seven or eight-year-old child in his hand.

Du Zhongxiao asked the middle-aged man around him, "Brother, what happened before?"

The man said, "This countryman comes here to buy meat, and his accent is not clear. What he says and what he says is not the same thing. After cutting the meat, it is not what this person wants. In addition, the child keeps asking for the small tenderloin on the sheep. After talking about it, he annoyed the meat seller and kicked the farmer."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and looked at the farmer covering his lower abdomen with his hands, his face looked a little ugly. The child was so scared that he held the farmer's hand and looked at the crowd around him in panic, but no one knew.

The big man selling meat fisted with both hands and said to everyone: "Everyone sees this guy is lying here, asking for this and that, but he cut the meat off but said it was not. Our brothers sold so much meat a day, and if everyone did this, would it be great?"

Some people say it is, some people shake their heads secretly, and more people remain silent.

Du Zhongxiao heard that this person had traces of barbarians in the mountains, and it didn't sound clear. This was normal. After the Song army entered, the barbarians in the mountains were moved out and went to a place with good terrain around the cities and established a village. These people were speechless, and it was rare to be able to say this in a year. However, the accents of these two people were a bit special and difficult to understand.

Seeing that no one spoke for the farmer, the two big men were very satisfied and opened their voices and continued to hawk.

The beaten farmer, who was covered his lower abdomen for a while, couldn't help but say to the meat seller: "Master, I've paid the money, meat--"

The big man picked up a piece of meat wrapped in lotus leaves next to him and stuffed it into the farmer's hand. He said impatiently: "Go, go quickly!"

The farmer shook his head: "This is not my meat! What I want is-"

After hearing this, the big man selling meat immediately changed his face: "If you dare to talk too much, I will kill half of your life with one punch!"

The farmer was very stubborn, just not to hand over the meat, but just said that he didn't want this. The people here were crowded and some people were stiff here, so the people passing by took a detour away, making two big men selling meat so angry that they were itchy. The meat the farmer had already sold, and he didn't even want to give it to him now. The child held the farmer's hand and looked at the meat seller from time to time, a little scared.

Seeing that the business was not good, the big man selling meat was jealous and picked up the knife selling meat and said, "The meat has been given to you, don't delay our business! If you get entangled here again, I will stab you to death with one knife, and you will have nothing to celebrate the New Year!"

Du Zhongxiao looked around and saw people buying New Year's goods everywhere, coming and going. After passing here, he glanced at the quarrels and left in a hurry. There were only a few idle people around him, talking enthusiastically.

After looking for a while, no one from the mall came over. Du Zhongxiao said to the people around him: "This is the shopping mall territory. Why hasn't anyone come for so long? Without people from the mall, why is this farmer the meat-selling opponent?"

The man said, "How many things happen in the mall? How could he care about these things! Brother, the stalls here have changed people in recent days. The original renter collected some money and asked them to sell them to others. These two brothers who sold meat came here yesterday. I heard that they were from the mountains."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and said, "They are not familiar with Chinese language. I think the people in the mountains are like this. But at the beginning of the year, the countryside and villages were set up, and the people in the mountains all lived on the plains. How could they still be there?"

The man said, "It's so stupid! The place is empty, and the Khitan people on the opposite side will not come to occupy it. There is no license plate here, and the people in the mountains are driving sheep into the city to sell it. What can others say? I think these two people are probably Khitans."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and said nothing. Seeing that the meat seller and the farmers over there were getting more and more stiff, he pushed and shoved, and looked like he was about to take action again, he whispered to the personal soldiers beside him: "Go back to the yamen quickly and call Chen Xiliang!"

The personal soldiers agreed and hurried away.

The man selling meat was anxious when he saw that his business was affected and pushed the farmer to the ground. He raised his legs and was about to kick them. In a blink of an eye, he saw Du Zhongxiao. Seeing that he was so majestic, there were many people standing beside him, unlike ordinary people, and he retracted his legs resentfully.

After a while, no guests came, and another big man whispered: "Brother, this is not possible. Today, eight sheep must be sold. As long as they sell less, how can we make money besides renting money? The meat this man really wants is gone. Please exchange for more other meat for him."

The man nodded and picked another piece of meat off the shelf. He was too lazy to weigh it, so he wrapped it in lotus leaves and handed it to the farmer on the side and said, "The meat you want is gone. Take this and leave quickly!"

The farmer shook his head: "Master, what's the use of this meat? Besides, how much does it cost if you kick me?"

After hearing this, the man became jealous and said angrily: "You talk nonsense here again, I will kick you without any hesitation!"

The farmer just shook his head, not wanting the meat, and insisting on two men to give him an explanation. The stalemate was there for a moment.

Du Zhongxiao kept taking people to stand there and refused to leave. The man selling meat became more and more guilty and tried every means to coax the farmers away.

In the chaos, Chen Xiliang brought a few people to come and salute Du Zhongxiao.

Du Zhongxiao looked up and pointed to the front and said, "It's the time to get New Year's goods. How many people have entered the city at this time to buy New Year's goods to celebrate the New Year. This is a shopping mall, and it's a place in the yamen, but no one is in charge. How can it be? "

Chen Xiliang nodded and said yes, whispered to the people around him, and immediately called the people who managed the mall to ask questions.

Seeing this attitude, the meat seller knew that there was something big today and did not dare to act wilder, so he had to let the farmer stand outside the door with his children.

Soon, the people who managed the mall came over and saluted Du Zhongxiao and Chen Xiliang.

Du Zhongxiao said: "During the New Year's goods, there are many people coming, and there are naturally many things happening every day. Have you sent someone to patrol the mall?"

Tang Jiejie, who manages the mall, said: "Hui Jieshuai, there are many business in the mall, and there is really no one."

Du Zhongxiao said: "I heard that many of these vendors have changed people. Do you know about the mall? How do they manage them?"

Tang Jiejie's forehead sweated: "The vendors here signed three-year leases, and they usually manage themselves, but the mall does not interfere."

Du Zhongxiao pointed to the meat stall in front and said, "If someone is killed here, the vendor will not care?"

Tang Jie Li said helplessly: "Jing Shuai, according to the rules of the mall, he really doesn't care. The mall only charges rent here--"

"Then why give this place to the mall! Isn't it better to rent it to others by the government? At the same time, I hand it over to the mall because the mall is owned by the yamen and can be managed instead of the yamen. You just need to collect the money, and don't care about the rest, what's the use of it!"

Tang Jiejie lowered his head and did not dare to speak. At the beginning, the shopping malls outside were still in charge, but they slowly slacked down, and they didn't care about it all these months. The shopping malls only care about the inside. When something happened outside, they would ask the city inspector and hand it over to the supervisor's office. In the past few days, the shopping malls have also discussed it because there are too many people outside, so they should be temporarily managed. As a result, after calculation, there were too many various affairs, so they finally got it done.

Looking at the big man and the farmers in the butcher shop, Du Zhongxiao said: "People from the yamen are here to figure out the matters of these people! Also, this is the territory of the yamen. If the shopping mall cannot be managed, it will not be managed by the shopping mall from now on!"

After saying that, Du Zhongxiao smiled at him when he saw the child over there looking at him.
