Early the next morning, Ang Lee ordered his subordinates to split up. One group went to the Mayor's office to inform them of the Tang dynasty's decision, while the other group went to the streets to post the Tang dynasty's decision on the streets so that all the people in the city could see it. In addition to the words, these notices also had very clear drawings, which made it easy to see the specific situation of the station in the future.
This immediately caused a great uproar in North Pyu City. For a time, this matter was discussed everywhere in the restaurants, teahouses, and streets. This matter was far more sensational than any other major event in the past.
The consequence of this matter was that the house prices in North City instantly increased by many times. Several sellers who went to the real estate market to put their houses on the market immediately doubled the price after hearing this. When they heard that more than a dozen businessmen wanted to rob their houses, they swarmed to buy them and immediately doubled the price again. They were pointed at and scolded, but there were still many people who intended to buy. When the seller saw this, he felt that the price was still too low, so he continued to raise the price. As a result, he was almost beaten by the impatient buyers. As a result, the frightened seller directly stopped selling, which made all the businessmen who rushed over to scold him for not keeping his word.
In a high-end hotel in the city, the blue-clothed businessman who had a good sleep stretched early in the morning and felt refreshed. Yesterday, his house was sold at a good price, and the surplus goods were sold at a higher price. Naturally, he was in a very good mood. In a few days, he would leave. In the next few days, he had nothing to do, so he planned to go to the Angi family's shop to have a look. Anyway, he had nothing to do. After all, that was the shop he had worked in for many years, so he had some feelings for it. It would be good to go and see what the Angi family was planning. Maybe he could meet the son of the playboy patriarch that the shopkeeper of the Angi family mentioned.
"Brother, I heard that you sold your house yesterday. Is it true?"
As soon as he walked out of the hotel, the blue-clothed businessman met a good friend. The first thing he asked when they met was about the sale of his house.
The blue-clothed businessman said, "I sold it, and also sold the surplus goods by the way. Brother Angi is a good man. By the way, brother, what's with your expression?"
"My condolences, my condolences, brother!"
The friend looked at the blue-clothed merchant with a look of pity. The blue-clothed merchant's heart skipped a beat. He didn't understand what was going on.
"My condolences. What happened? I'm all alone in North City. What's there to grieve about?"
As soon as he heard the word 'restrain your grief', the blue-clothed merchant felt very uncomfortable. He didn't have any relatives or friends who had died, so why would he use the word 'restrain your grief'?
His good friend said, "House, it's a house. Just this morning, the property prices in North City increased greatly. You sold your house at a loss, a huge loss."
"What a huge loss. The housing prices have risen overnight. How much has it risen?"
The blue-clothed merchant seemed to feel that something was wrong. Thinking back to yesterday when the shopkeeper eagerly bought the house, he suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"How much? In just a few hours, it has already increased by five times. Moreover, it will continue to increase. Five times, it has already increased by five times. Brother, you have suffered a great loss. "
His friend said.
"What? There is such a thing? How is this possible? How can the number of houses in North City increase so much all of a sudden? What happened?"
The blue-clothed merchant's heart suddenly went up and down. His good mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
His good friend hurriedly told him the ins and outs of the matter, which shocked the blue-clothed merchant greatly. He immediately understood the real reason for all the abnormalities yesterday.
"The dandy son of the patriarch, the deadline to buy a house, the exclusion of the family, all of these are just reasons made up by the shopkeeper himself. This man made up such reasons in order to dispel my doubts and make me not doubt the reason why he was so eager to buy a house."
Thinking back carefully, the blue-clothed merchant suddenly understood everything. Yesterday, the shopkeeper's attitude was really respectful. He was really eager to buy a house. He gave the low-ranking official almost five to ten times the normal price, so the low-ranking official had to work hard to go through the formalities for him. Since he was so eager to buy a house, it was enough to show that the shopkeeper had long known that the housing prices would rise and that the Tang dynasty would build a station here. He was calculating against me. "
"Haha! Very good, very good, very good? This guy, I thought he was my brother, but he actually calculated well. He actually calculated against me. Humph, let's go and find him to settle accounts. "
The blue-clothed merchant was furious. Suddenly, like a mad lion, he strode to the Angji Gem Store, ready to find trouble with the shopkeeper.
The same scene happened in the other six places in North City. The other six people who sold houses to the shopkeeper also ran to the Angji Gem Store to find trouble with the shopkeeper.
When they gathered at the Angji Gem Store, they found that the store was not open. The store sign said that it would be closed for ten days and the store had already been locked. This made the people who came to find the shopkeeper to settle accounts very dissatisfied. They felt that they had nowhere to vent their anger.
"Smash, smash the door, smash it hard."
The seven sellers gathered more than 30 relatives and friends to smash the Angji Gem Store together. Although the store was locked and the door was very thick, in the face of more than 30 adults who had lost their minds, it naturally could not resist. In the end, the store was smashed open.
From the time the store was smashed to the time the store was smashed open, the shopkeeper and others did not appear, as if the store was not their home.
After entering the store, more than 30 people did not find anyone inside. The hundreds of onlookers also went in, but they were mainly there to watch the fun.
The blue-clothed businessman looked at the gems placed in the store and was suddenly filled with anger. He smashed these gems and polished jade jewelry madly to vent his dissatisfaction. At this time, he had lost his mind. As long as he had a trace of reason, he would not do this. The other 30 people also smashed all kinds of cabinets and jewelry inside. The price of the house suddenly increased many times, and their loss was too great. In their opinion, even if all the jewelry in the store were smashed, the loss of the Angji Family was far less than the profit of the house. The shopkeeper also had the same idea.
The shopkeeper also thought so. He knew that his shop would be smashed today, so he dealt with it in advance. He evacuated all the staff in the shop and took away all the valuable goods. Although there were a lot of goods left in the shop, they were not very valuable. In addition, in order to set a trap for these people, he also put a lot of scraps of polished jade and broken jewelry on the ground under the shelves. These polished jewelry, such as bracelets, would be useless once broken. However, these wastes were not thrown away, but kept in the trash box of the shop. This time, the shopkeeper quietly threw these broken jewelry in every corner of the shop in order to set a trap for these people. The moment the shop was smashed, he had already sent someone to report to the government office. After more than 30 people smashed the shop for a while, the low-ranking official of the government office arrived. Naturally, the low-ranking official of the government office received a lot of benefits from the shopkeeper of the Angi Family. Therefore, he came here actively to seek justice for the shopkeeper of the Angi Family. The moment the shop was smashed, he had already sent someone to report to the government office. After more than 30 people smashed the shop for a while, the low-ranking official of the government office arrived. Naturally, the low-ranking official of the government office received many benefits from the shopkeeper of the Angi Family.
"Stop it, stop it! What are you doing? What are you doing?! Come on, arrest them all. "
Because they knew in advance that there were more than 30 people making trouble, the official of the government office mobilized 70 or 80 people, so that they could fully control the situation.
70 or 80 people rushed into the store and arrested all the 30 people who smashed the store. The onlookers also took the opportunity to run outside the store, craning their necks to look inside. It seemed that they were very interested in what happened in the store.
Life in the North City was relatively boring. It was rare to have a chance to see the scenery, so naturally, they could not miss it.
Until they were arrested by the officers and soldiers, the blue-clothed businessman and others suddenly came to their senses. They suddenly felt that they had made a big mistake. Originally, they had already lost a lot of money by selling the property. At this time, they smashed the Angji Family's store and caused a lot of damage. These must be compensated according to the price. In this way, their loss would be even greater. How could they not regret it? Impulse was the devil, impulse was the devil!
"Sir, we …"
After the 30 people calmed down, they came up with a lot of reasons. It was nothing more than the shopkeeper of the Angji Family knowing that the property prices were going to rise. This was equivalent to setting them up and causing them to lose a lot of money. They felt that the property they had hurriedly sold yesterday did not count. They wanted to redeem their property, and they wanted to redeem it according to the original price.
The official slammed the horsewhip on the table and said loudly, "What are you thinking? The land deed is written clearly in black and white, and you still want to go back on your words. Even if the shopkeeper knew that the property prices were going to rise, so what? This is their ability, it is not illegal. But if you want to redeem the property, unless the shopkeeper agrees, it is illegal. In addition, you smashed the shopkeeper's store and caused him to lose a lot of money. Not only do you want to compensate the original price, but you also have to go to jail for a few days.
Do you want to cause trouble? "When they heard that not only was it impossible to redeem the property, but they also had to compensate for the damaged property at the original price. The most terrible thing was that they even had to go to jail, the 30 people were frightened speechless.
"We, we …"
The crowd complained again, but it was completely useless.
The official looked at one of his subordinates and said, "Go, take a group of people to collect all these pieces. See how much the owner has lost and let them compensate."
Soon, dozens of officials worked together to clean up all the jewelry pieces on the ground and the table, and piled them in front of the official.
"You guys know the price of jade the best. You are responsible for calculating the loss. It can't be more or less. It must be fair and just. Understand."
The official said.
More than a dozen jade merchants who were invited said that they did not dare. After that, they immediately began to sort out the jade pieces. Because there were too many pieces, it was impossible to completely sort them out and accurately determine the price of the lost goods. But it was not a problem to estimate the loss.
Because many of the jade pieces were too badly damaged, it was impossible to piece them together one by one. Therefore, they could only divide the pieces into several small piles according to the quality of the pieces and whether they were finished products. In this way, they could make a rough estimate when calculating the loss.
The petty official had received enough benefits, so he didn't care about waiting in the shop for a few more days. Even if he had to wait for a day, he didn't care. With this job, he got a month's salary. How could this not make him happy? In addition, as long as things were done well and made the shopkeeper happy, there would be more benefits coming.
Two hours later, after a discussion among the jade merchants, they gave a rough estimate of their losses.
"What? How could there be so much? Just these broken things."
The blue-clothed merchant was the first to complain. The estimated value of these jade merchants was so high that it shocked him. The other 30 people were also frightened. They actually spent so much money in one breath.
The official was also shocked. He hurriedly said, "Is there really so much? Is there any basis? If you speak without thinking, it is illegal."
"Old Brother Zhou, you can't harm the few of us! We have no enmity with you in the past, and we have no grievances today. You have to be fair. "
A middle-aged man who was selling the house looked at the old man in charge of the appraisal and begged.
The old man frowned and said, "These pieces will be taken to the government office for filing. How can I dare to lie? Well, I will tell you the specific situation!"
The old man picked up a few pieces and looked at more than 30 people. He said, "Everyone, this pile of pieces is the best quality black jade. Although it is unprocessed raw stone, its value is still very high. You can't buy it without twenty gold bars. This pile is the best quality yellow jade, the price is even higher. And these bracelet fragments should be a pair of intact lapis lazuli. This pile of fragments is precious emerald, and this pair of broken bracelets is made of cat's eye stone. It is priceless! Just the price of these two piles of gemstones is enough to buy several houses. Moreover, these are the houses after the price has risen. "
The old man said it with a nose and eyes. The other jade merchants also nodded. They also sighed. This Angji Gem Store actually had so many treasures. These treasures were very valuable, but they were all destroyed at this time. This made them sigh endlessly.
"If the official doesn't believe us, you can find someone else to appraise it. We really don't dare to lie."
The old man sighed and had to tell the truth.
However, the old man also saw that some of the fragments were not smashed by these people at all, but by someone who smashed them in advance. After all, some of the gemstones were very hard and could not be smashed easily. These people were just venting their anger by smashing them with wooden sticks in their hands. Some of the particularly hard gemstones were not damaged at all, but these extremely hard gemstones were actually smashed. This was very surprising. The old man even suspected that these precious gemstone fragments were originally the leftovers after the finished jewelry was made. After some processing, it gave people the feeling that they were smashed violently. However, he had no evidence and could not say anything. His task was only to estimate the value of these gemstone fragments. These speculations could not be said casually.
