Chapter 1624 Making a Scene

Is this going to escalate? And it involves a close relationship with Shu Yu?

That's not easy.

The group fell silent for a moment, their brows furrowed in thought.

Yingxi, who was holding Xiaohuohuo, was stiff all over and felt like her body was about to cramp. She just hoped that they would finish talking quickly, otherwise she might not be able to hold on.

Shu Yu, with her sharp eyes, noticed that she was sweating profusely and couldn't help but chuckle. "Come on, let me carry you."

"No, it's okay, I'm just practicing."

Shu Yu, "..."

Zhao Xi, “…” No, Shu Yu’s maid is actually this honest?

Shu Yu still took the child. Perhaps because Ying Xi held him without moving, the little guy actually fell asleep.

Shu Yu found it strange. After thinking for a moment, she decided to let Ying Xi take Xiao Huo Huo back to the room after he relaxed a bit, so that she wouldn't wake him up if she spoke too loudly.

After Ying Xi left, Shu Yu raised her head and looked at the two of them, "Is there a way?"

Da Zhuang was sweating profusely, unable to come up with any good ideas.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Xi suddenly turned to Da Zhuang and asked, "Did Zhang Qing steal the same piece of land twice, or different pieces? How were the harvests from both plots?"

Dazhuang quickly replied, "They're all from the same plot of land. Those two acres are the furthest from the village, so they're the easiest to work on. The harvest from those two plots isn't very good; at least compared to the other sunflower fields, the yield is lower."

"That's right." Zhao Xi clapped his hands together, looking somewhat excited.

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "What, you've come up with a plan?"

Zhao Xi chuckled, "I really have an idea, listen to it and see if you think it's feasible."

"you say."

Zhao Xi coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to make a big deal out of this? Perfect, your family's sunflower oil is supplied to the palace, so let's make a fuss about that. As long as this matter is related to the palace, it's bound to be a big deal, and even the prefect can't ignore it."

Shu Yu frowned. "What does it mean by 'related to law'?"

"Just say that you suspect this Master Qian has ulterior motives and wants to use the sunflowers to harm someone in the palace. Wasn't the yield of the two acres of land that Zhang Qing stole poor? That was because of Master Qian's trickery. Although the method was roundabout, his intentions were vicious. Otherwise, why would all the other sunflower fields in Shangshi Village be fine, but only those two acres had a yield problem?"

Zhao Xiyue found it increasingly feasible, “Although there is no evidence, even just suspicion is enough for the government to take it seriously. The sunflower oil was sold in your workshop, so it’s related to you. You are the village head, so if you file a complaint, it will carry enough weight. Our goal is to make an example of him. We don’t expect to actually convict Master Qian, but just like that, it will be enough to give him a hard time.”

"How is it? Is it okay?"

Dazhuang thought it was feasible, but something felt off, so he remained silent.

Shu Yu shook her head. "No."

"Why?"

"In this way, my workshop's reputation will also be ruined. After all, although the sunflower oil is supplied to the palace, it is also sold to the common people. If people find out that the raw materials for the sunflower oil may have been tampered with and there are problems, what will they think? This kind of 'killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of your own' approach means that my losses are obviously greater than Mr. Qian's."

Zhao Xi, “…”, that seems to make sense.

To everyone's surprise, Shu Yu laughed the next moment, "But your method has given me some inspiration."
