Chapter 170 Seizing the salt shop is impossible! Fusu's confidants responded forcefully and prevented the government officials from seizing it!
Pedestrians holding salt shakers around the salt shop had angry looks on their faces when they heard Long Feng's words.
They did not expect that the salt shop owners in the West City would be so arrogant and threaten the salt shop owners in the North City in public.
Let people in the government use their power to close this salt shop.
Several pedestrians wanted to stand up and help Ye Liu speak, thinking of the abilities of these shopkeepers in Xishi.
They can only stop moving forward. They are just ordinary people and have no way to support them in such a situation.
Ye Liu's face remained calm after hearing Long Feng's words.
He thought that the shopkeeper of West Market would take measures, which surprised him a little.
In front of so many passers-by, these shopkeepers did not hide anything.
He openly ordered Long Feng, who was sent by the government, to exercise the power of the government.
"Your Excellency is an official, but you must act impartially."
"Don't help others do evil for some reason."
"The common people advise you, sir, it's best not to move."
Ye Liu looked at Long Feng and offered words of advice.
When Long Feng came to his salt shop, he did not forcibly close his salt shop.
When Ye Liu talked with Long Feng, he also felt that this official was not a bad person.
He knew that Long Feng also received orders from his superior, but Ye Liu still wanted to save Long Feng.
"Aiding the tyrants? I can only obey the superior's orders."
"Shopkeeper, your only option now is to close the salt shop and wait for investigation."
Long Feng heard Ye Liu's good intentions, but now he had no choice but to do what Shangguan said.
Several shopkeepers from the West Market were standing there with smiles on their faces.
They have been dealing with salt for so long and have encountered various situations.
Under their strategy, many salt shops had no choice but to close their doors.
In their opinion, this salt shop in Bei City only has a unique salt refining process.
There is no backer behind this salt shop.
This is also the reason why they dare to be so arrogant today, even if the news spreads, they are not afraid.
The few people behind them will help them cover up these rumors.
Several shopkeepers looked at Ye Liu. They could immediately see that the salt shop was sealed by people sent by the government.
"Hey!"
"The hateful black-hearted salt merchant used such despicable methods."
"In the future, I can only go to the West Market and buy expensive and low-quality salt."
"The shopkeeper of this salt shop in Bei City is very unlucky. When he encounters these evil shopkeepers in West City, he can only be suppressed."
Pedestrians around the salt shop whispered to each other with regretful expressions on their faces.
Several shopkeepers in the West Market also heard the pedestrians' discussion, and saw the hateful looks of the pedestrians out of the corner of their eyes.
They didn't care as long as the Beishi Salt Shop closed.
These people will still go to the West Market to buy salt in the future, and they will still make a lot of money by then.
They just want to make money and don't care about anything else.
"What can I do if I don't close the salt shop?"
Ye Liu saw that Long Feng did not give up his idea because of his words, and looked at Long Feng with a cold look on his face.
Long Feng looked at Ye Liu, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
When communicating with Ye Liu just now, Ye Liu looked calm with a smile on his face.
Ye Liu now gave him a cold feeling, which made Long Feng feel a chill for a moment.
"What a courage!"
"The government officials asked you to close the door, but you dared to resist."
"You are flouting the laws of Qin."
"Your Majesty, the common people suggest that this person be put in prison."
The middle-aged fat man showed a trace of anger on his face as he looked at Long Feng and bowed his hands.
Ye Liu was so strong that it was beyond the middle-aged fat man's expectation.
There was anger on his face and he was very happy in his heart.
The more Ye Liu resists the government, the greater his crime will become. He originally planned to close the salt shop today, and then he would find a way to take the method of refining fine salt from Ye Liu.
Unexpectedly, Ye Liu dared to resist the officials. Such behavior was enough to put Ye Liu in jail.
"The shopkeeper is talking to people from the government, why do you, an incompetent person, have the right to interrupt?"
"It's really ridiculous that such an incompetent person can open a salt shop."
Ye Liu looked at the shopkeepers in the West Market with a look of ridicule on his face.
"You dare to humiliate us, how brave you are."
The middle-aged fat man and several other shopkeepers had anger on their faces when they heard Ye Liu's taunt.
There is no shopkeeper in Xianyang City who dares to scold them like this.
"I'm talking about you guys. Ignorant people don't deserve to appear in front of this shopkeeper."
"My lord, there is nothing wrong with the fine salt sold by Cao Min's salt shop."
"The common people will not close the salt shop. If you want to forcefully close the salt shop of the common people, the common people will only be offended."
Ye Liu looked at Long Feng and his expression became determined.
Mr. Fusu is in the garden behind the salt shop. If the salt shop was closed by the government like this.
Ye Liu couldn't imagine how disappointed Mr. Fusu would be with him. After all, Mr. Fusu sent him to be the shopkeeper of this salt shop.
Ye Liu knew that there was nothing wrong with the salt he sold, and he would not allow the government to close his salt shop.
Even if he conflicts with people from the government, he is not afraid at all.
The pedestrians around the store were stunned at this time.
They didn't expect that the usually amiable shopkeeper would be so strong today.
First, he scolded several shopkeepers in the West Market, and then confronted the officials.
Seeing this scene, the pedestrians felt relieved, and they also supported Ye Liu in their hearts.
"If you dare to speak to the Lord like this, the Lord will not let your men move."
"Close this shop and arrest Ye Liu."
"This man despises you, and even beheading him is not an exaggeration!"
The fat middle-aged man looked at Long Feng urging him with an anxious look on his face.
Long Feng had a trace of hesitation on his face when he heard what Ye Liu and the shopkeeper from West City said.
Ye Liu's strength was beyond his expectation, and he now felt that Ye Liu's identity was not that simple.
Maybe Ye Liu also has a good background, otherwise how could Ye Liu dare to talk to people in the government like this.
"Long Feng, don't forget what your superior officer told you."
Seeing Long Feng's hesitation, the middle-aged fat man directly called Long Feng's name and moved out of Long Feng Shangguan.
"Brothers, come on!"
When Long Feng heard the middle-aged fat man mention his Shangguan again, he gritted his teeth and waved to several of his men behind him to step forward and forcefully close the salt shop.
Long Feng's men showed excitement on their faces and started to move toward the salt shop with long sticks in their hands.
They didn't know what Long Feng was thinking. They only knew that they could get some money by closing the store.
They have done many such things before, as for Long Feng, the superior officer.
They people don't care in their hearts.
"Clap clap clap!"
Ye Liu saw this scene without any panic and clapped his hands.
A dozen strong men wearing coarse linen clothes appeared in front of him, and Long Feng felt a hint of fear in his heart when he saw these strong men.
Although he has never been on the battlefield, he is still a martial arts practitioner.
He felt a hint of murderous intent in these dozen strong men. Long Feng instantly understood that these dozen strong men had definitely been on the battlefield and their martial arts skills were even more impressive.
"Shopkeeper!"
A dozen strong men looked at Ye Liu and bowed their hands.
Ye Liu nodded slightly, looked at the dozen strong men and said, "You know what to do."
"As ordered!"
When a dozen strong men heard Ye Liu's words, they turned and rushed towards Long Feng's men.
In just a few rounds, all Long Feng's men were lying on the ground with tears in their faces, and the long sticks in their hands were all broken.
The area around the salt shop instantly became quiet except for the painful wails of Long Feng's men. No one expected that Ye Liu would really dare to take action against the government officials.
