Chapter 113.4: 醉酒

[Drunk]

---

Gu Lang lightly tapped his finger on the table and said again, “This is the right awarded to me by the official lord, do you still want to keep rebel?”

 

When the shopkeeper heard this, he clenched his fists tightly, held it tightly, and finally looked at him and said through gritted teeth, “Without the Master’s order, even if you have an order from the government, I won’t move out of here.”

 

In fact, he has long known about the Chen family sentenced by the government. At first he was also terrified for quite a long time, until he received a message from Madam Chen, allowing them to delay as long as they could, only then he felt more at ease.

 

This manager heart is well calculated, knowing that even if he is a Jǔrén, but no higher status in this person, not considered yet as a government official. This kind of person may still have some face in front of the government, but in the eyes of ‘seek for a living’ kind of people like them, it’s not as good as the job they rely on.

 

Gu Lang looked at his ‘pain in the neck’ appearance (an annoying person look), yet he was not annoyed, and then said: “You mean you won’t return it? so even when the officials come, you also won’t return it?”

 

“Except for the people from My Master, I won’t listen to the words of the rest. Even if Heavenly God came, I wouldn’t move, let alone a mere county magistrate!” The shopkeeper’s words were so decisive that he didn’t see the face of the waiter facing him change, looking as if he wanted to talk to him but didn’t dare to do it.

 

“Oh, really? Shopkeeper Xiong, you are bold enough to say that you don’t even listen to the words of the county magistrate!”

 

A strange man’s voice came from behind him. The man who was still irritable just now immediately stiffened his body, stared wide-eyed, and turned his head in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Yamen Attendant Gao standing there with five other officers, and was looking at himself with ‘a remain calm and composed while handling pressing affairs’ expression on his face.

 

Suddenly, the man who was still high and mighty just now, was immediately like an animal that had been strangled by the throat of fate, and could no longer utter a single sound.

 

Chen Xing looked at the sudden appearance of Gao Yamen Attendant, and could not help but ask, “Gao Yamen Attendant,you guys, this…?”

 

Facing Chen Xing’s curious eyes,Yamen Attendant Gao returned a gentle smile and softly said, “Little boss, the county magistrate asked us to seize (seal) the other two properties under your name today so that you can get them back in the future. It just didn’t occur to me that you would come here by yourselves.”

 

Hearing the high magistrate say this, Chen Xing was touched and at the same time also felt that the County Magistrate was simply a good man, even already thought about it for them.

 

The expression on Shopkeeper Xiong’s side was not so good, especially when he saw the eyes of the high magistrate fall on him, then he remembered the words he just said without thinking, and cold sweat came out at once.

 

If he had known that the county magistrate would be concerned about such a trivial matter, he wouldn’t have dared to speak in such a barbaric and unreasonable manner even if he had been given the courage to do so. Unfortunately, he didn’t even know that Gao Yamen Attendant and the others would be coming over, so now he could only stand here in frustration.

 

After exchanging pleasantries with Chen Xing, Gao Yamen Attendant turned his head towards Manager Xiong with a cold face and said, “Shopkeeper, this shop is originally owned by the Gu family, that day in the court of law where the witnesses and material evidence are in, the county magistrate on the spot decide that to give back the shop to Gu Gongzi. Please immediately bring your workers, as well as your own things out of here, otherwise we are not polite.”

 

On the face of Xiong Shopkeeper, there was only a piece of currying a favor left, that rude and unreasonable he had just seen had disappeared. Only to see him nodding his head towards Officer Gao, curry a favor as he said:

 

“Yes, yes, yes, yes, we will leave here immediately, absolutely we will not cause trouble for you. It’s just that we have quite a lot of stuff, can we extend the time for a few days?”

 

Yamen Attendant Gao raised an eyebrow at him, and brought a bit of indifference to his tone, “I don’t think you have that much stuff to pack. Moreover, I don’t have that much time to accompany you here. Now, pack up and leave!”

 

In the face of the powerful Yamen Attendant Gao, Shopkeeper no longer dared to bargain. He shut his mouth, tucked his tail between his legs, and led the shop’s staff to pack up their belongings, and immediately withdrew from the shop.

 

When he passed by the counter, the Shopkeeper hesitated for a while and tried every possible way to persuade him so he could take away the shop’s account book.

 

By the time the Shopkeeper left with his men, there was nothing left in the shop, except for the empty shelves here, and everything else was taken away as their personal belongings, or as the owner’s later additions.

 

“Unexpectedly there is nothing left in this shop.” Yamen Attendant Gao looked at the shop that looked like it had been emptied, and looked at Chen Xing with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes. Those people even took advantage of the time when they didn’t pay attention and took away so many things in one go.

 

Compared to the embarrassment of Yamen Officer Gao, Chen Xing felt that it was okay, they took away so many things, coincidentally just to make space for him to redecorate.

 

Chen Xing looked at the embarrassed Gao Yamen Attendant, and said in a gentle and soothing voice: ”Gao Officer, thank you for your help, if it were not for you, I am afraid that it would be a bit difficult to get this shop back. It’s better this way. We can still renovate it.”
