Lingchuan’s arrangements against Xu Ji can be said to be laid out in the open.

Ten Yunfu Ji shop assistants carrying large boxes were walking back and forth on Xi'anmen Street, with two flags fluttering in the wind.

The shop assistants in Xu's shop couldn't help it and stood outside the shop shouting and cursing, but were persuaded to go back by Xu Ping.

"Boss, Yunfuji is really going too far. How can you tolerate this?"

Xu Ping calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Let them run wild for a while. The wilder the better. Someone will take care of them when the time comes."

He was right. That evening, several dim sum shop owners came to his door and started complaining to Xu Ping as soon as they entered.

"That kid named Ling is not trustworthy. He said he would remove those guys, but today he is still walking around the streets."

"That's right, the price increase we agreed on hasn't happened yet."

"Everyone, I checked the accounts today. Ever since Yunfuji came up with these things, the business in my shop has been getting worse day by day. Today, I only made a little over 4,000 coins in the whole day. I can't do business anymore."

"You still have 4,000 Wen? There were only two customers in my shop today. If it weren't for some old customers who took care of me, I wouldn't be able to support my shop staff."

"Manager Xu, please say something. We can't let that Ling bully us like this."

Xu Ping had been silent until this moment when he spoke: "I understand your difficulties, and so do I. But then again, what can we do to him? We can't just go to his house and cause trouble. If this is reported to the government, we will be in the wrong."

His words not only successfully intensified the conflict, but also pointed out the direction for everyone. Someone immediately asked, "Can we go to the government to sue him?"

Someone else asked back: "Then what should we sue him for?"

Everyone fell silent again. The imperial law did not prohibit hawking on the streets.

Xu Ping was almost going crazy with anxiety, thinking that these people were really brainless. Who said that if you report something to the authorities, there must be real truth behind it?

As a last resort, he could only remind them: "What do you think, is Yunfuji bullying or monopolizing the market?"

After being reminded by him, everyone finally realized: "Yes, yes, yes, it is bullying. With those guys from Yunfuji hanging around the door every day, how can we do business?"

Xu Ping continued to guide them, acting indignant: "You don't know, today there were ten guys from Yunfu Ji hanging around in front of my door on the street. I tell you, if these guys are still hanging around in front of my door tomorrow, I will definitely teach them a lesson, otherwise those outsiders will think that we Beijing guys are easy to bully."

"Yeah, beat the hell out of him."

"It's too much to bully someone. It's like stepping on someone and shitting on their head."

Xu Ping continued to fan the flames: "We men in Yingtian Prefecture are not to be bullied. We will take action when it is necessary. We don't have to be afraid even if the case goes to the government. At most, we will have to pay some money. When the time comes, we will all sue Yunfuji for bullying and monopolizing the market. I don't believe that the county magistrate will ignore this matter."

"Manager Xu is right. At most, we will have to pay some money. If Yunfuji continues to do this, we will all go bankrupt and close down."

The shop owners who were successfully provoked to anger by Xu Ping agreed to take action tomorrow. They would go to the government office together to sue the officials and make them close down Yun Fu Ji's shop.

As soon as the shopkeepers left, several of Xu's employees came over, ready to go.

"Boss, tomorrow we will fight if you say so. We will beat whoever you say to beat."

"Yes, Yunfuji is too bullying. The tiger doesn't show its might, and it treats us like a sick cat."

"That's right. When has our Xu family ever suffered such humiliation?"

'Bah! '

Xu Ping slammed the table and scolded, "What are you all doing? When did I say I was going to take action?"

Several shop assistants were startled and whispered, "Didn't you just tell those shopkeepers..."

"What are you talking about? The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, don't you understand? Just let them do it, and we can just wait and see what happens."

Several shop assistants finally realized what was happening and began to flatter him: "The shopkeeper is amazing, very shrewd and calculating."

"Go away, this is called foresight."

"That's not the same thing."

"Alright, alright, stop talking about this." Xu Ping said, "I'll tell you guys one thing. If you do it well, Yunfuji will be closed down by the government."

Several shop assistants' eyes lit up and they all came forward and said, "Boss, please tell me."

……

The next day, Ling Chuan was leading the three mutes to boil sugar in the workshop in the courtyard.

Lingchuan has put down 100 kilograms of brown sugar. According to experience, it can produce about 50 kilograms of white sugar. We will first try to pull it to Guangfeng. Manager Liu said that he will take as much as he can.

Just as he was thinking about what price to set, Cao Huanchun came over in a hurry.

"Something happened. Our people were beaten."

Ling Chuan frowned immediately: "Who was beaten? Is it serious? Who beat him?"

Cao Huanchun quickly replied: "He's in the shop in front, come out and take a look."

Ling Chuan hurried to the front hall shop and saw two salesmen, one with a bloody head and the other with a bruised face and nose, sitting on chairs groaning in pain. There were smashed boxes and broken and torn flags on the ground beside them.

"How is this going?"

As soon as the two salesmen saw their boss coming, they started crying: "It was Chen Su Bing. We were just passing by his store, and four or five of them surrounded us and started scolding us. We were so angry that we pushed them, and they started fighting. They also said that no one from Yun Fu Ji is allowed to pass by their store in the future."

Ling Chuan frowned and looked at Cao Huanchun. Just as he was about to speak, a few people came in crying out in pain.

Looking at this, it was another person who had been beaten and was limping back.

"Who did this?"

Ling Chuan was already getting angry.

"It was Weihesheng. As soon as their guys saw me, they rushed over and slapped me. I was so angry that I fought back. Then the three of them surrounded me and beat me up. Boss, you have to take charge of this for me, wuwuwu..."

"Damn it, if you can't win the deal, you have to be ruthless. If you dare to touch my people, I'll show you how I deal with them."

Ling Chuan stood up quickly, and Lao Cao beside him quickly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, I think there is something fishy about this."

"I know, this must be what they discussed."

Ling Chuan turned around and looked at the three people who had been beaten: "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you."

As he spoke, his expression changed, and he even smiled: "Actually, you three have met a noble person."

Cao Huanchun was stunned when he saw the smile on Ling Chuan's face. What was that expression?

I was clearly beaten, how can I say I met a noble person?

Ling Chuan continued, "If you guys are smart later, I will definitely make them bleed a lot and pay you a large sum of money, Lao Cao."

Cao Huanchun came over.

"Go get the account book." Ling Chuan ordered, "Change their sales figures in the account book."

"what?"

"Ah what? Go now."
