Chapter 375 Frightened
Bai Yunxi looked at the shocked look of the second child, and turned around to sit under the eaves. Du Shi immediately gave him a glass of water with a wink. Seeing that the second child was in a taught posture, Bai Yunxi cleared his throat,
"It is said that there are seven things to open the door. The firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and grain stores belong to the people's livelihood. Anyone who has something to do with the people's livelihood is behind the powerful people."

"Maybe I can tell you frankly that the people who run these industries are either close to some powerful people or have deep cooperation. In a word, none of them are ordinary people."

Bai Anyan: "..."

Is it really that exaggerated?

It is indeed not an ordinary person to use an official as a backer, but it is the first time he has heard his mother say that, and he is not clear about the specifics.

Mrs. Du and Mrs. Li have been sitting beside Baiyunxi, listening to her narration, their eyes widened.

"Mother, I see that shopkeeper Wang at the grain store is quite kind?"

"He opened the door to do business, and it's not to collect debts. Is it appropriate to blow his beard and stare at you?"

Bai Yunxi looked at her daughter's slightly red smiling face, "The shopkeeper Wang is only in charge of the operation of the grain shop, not the owner. He opens the shop to make money, so what if he is not kind."

No matter how kind, it is also for the purpose of making money.

Listening to Mother's tone, several people looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"These injured people in the village are in vain, right?"

"Even if it's wrong to beat someone up, let's see, how many dare to find a place?"

She was scared to death, if she really dared to ask for justice for herself, she would really have to look at them highly.

It's a pity, no matter how unfair these people are, they can only vent their anger by cursing behind their backs, and they have to swallow their grievances.

Sure enough, when Xiao Si came back from inquiring about the news, they knew the whole story.

Almost as she had expected, the grain merchants had prepared manpower long ago, just to prevent people from causing trouble, and those people were all Lianjiazi, each worth five or six, and they were ruthless and merciless.

There are quite a few people who went to seek justice, but unfortunately they were knocked to the ground.

And the other party also directly warned that if there is a next time, he will directly report to the officials and be arrested for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

"The people who were not injured all looked lucky. They must have been frightened, and they might not dare to ask for any difference in the future."

Xiao Si shook his head, with a gesture of unfinished thinking, thinking that these people are so powerful, but he was frightened by people's few words.

"The one who cried the most was Grandma Hua. She loved Uncle Hua the most. When she saw that his leg was broken, she passed out on the spot. Aunt Hua and Uncle Hua carried her home together."

Listening to Xiao Si's narration, Bai Yunxi calmly picked up a bowl of tea and moistened his throat without much fluctuation.

But the village did not stop. Seeing that the people who went to the town to seek justice returned home in despair, they began to think of a way and asked the patriarch to come forward.

The Patriarchs of the Song Clan and Bai Clan did go, but they reprimanded everyone and didn't mean to stand up for them at all.

Now, the villagers are in a hurry. After losing so much money, they will not return a single word, and they will be beaten. How can they swallow this breath?

Those who sold all the new food wanted to gather people to seek justice again, but unfortunately, no one wanted to stand up, and they were afraid that they would be the next to be hurt.

So, what if you can't swallow it?

Without diamonds, you can't do porcelain work, and it's useless to become a toad.

The people in Liushuwan were like this, and the other villages were similar, and they all died down in the end.
