Chapter 257 Ulterior Motives



Even so, the matter of Qian Ruoyu and Boss Fang needs to be investigated.

Qian Ruoyu had never heard of the reputation of this Boss Fang.

This person is so secretive, but his reputation has never been heard of.

But at this moment, Yan'er hurriedly ran back from the yard.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! It seems that Zhou Yuanliang wants to see you about something!"

Qian Ruoyu narrowed her eyes slightly.

I was dealing with things here right now, but something happened at the pharmacy?

But after all, that was his first industry in the capital, the first industry in this era, so Qian Ruoyu had to take it into consideration.

Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu followed Yan'er and brought Jin Lianhua to the door of the pharmacy.

But I saw more than a dozen people gathered at the door of the pharmacy.

"Is the low price in your pharmacy appropriate? It's making it impossible for several nearby pharmacies to sell their medicines!"

"The prices of the herbs here are so cheap, are they all low-quality herbs? Folks, take a good look, the herbs sold here are all low-quality herbs!"

"It's good enough to say that they are low-quality herbs. These are not low-quality herbs at all, they are simply poison! They are unscrupulous merchants who actually want to kill us ordinary people."

Several people surrounded Zhou Yuanliang and kept saying bad things about him, and Zhou Yuanliang was unable to defend himself for a moment.

Zhou Yuanliang spread his hands and was about to speak when he was interrupted.

"Don't sell poisonous herbs in the capital, lest you kill everyone!"

"That's right, what kind of place is Jincheng? Is it a place where you can sell poisonous herbs? Our boss Li would be the first one to not allow it!"

Then everyone around raised their hands and made a call, as if they wanted to swallow Zhou Yuanliang.

Seeing this situation made Qian Ruoyu wonder how such a thing could happen. The herbs in her herbal medicine shop were all genuine and not fake. Sometimes they were even cheaper than other stores.

From this point of view, there is only one possibility, that is, these people are here deliberately to cause trouble, and someone asked them to come and cause trouble!

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu took the two people behind him and pushed through the crowd and came in front of Zhou Yuanliang.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

When one of them saw Qian Ruoyu, he thought Qian Ruoyu was a passerby who came in to join in the fun, so he spoke directly.

"My dear young lady, you may not know that this pharmacy is the cheapest one in our area, and the herbs in this pharmacy are all poisonous!"

"That's right, selling poisonous herbs harms others and himself, he should be arrested!"

As he was saying this, several people were already trying to capture Zhou Yuanliang.

However, Qian Ruoyu knew that these people must have ulterior motives for coming here this time, and judging from their attitude, they just looked like the guys in other pharmacies. After they said this, more and more passers-by came over to join in the fun.

It is precisely because of this that Qian Ruoyu said directly.

"Do you have any evidence that these medicines are poisonous herbs?"

"If there is no evidence, isn't that slandering others?"

Immediately hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, one of them even said.

"Oh! So you are one of them!"

The corners of Qian Ruoyu's mouth trembled slightly. She never expected that these people would have such cunning tricks and suddenly regarded her as Zhou Yuanliang's accomplice.

Although she is indeed the big boss behind this pharmacy, Qian Ruoyu does not intend to reveal her identity so quickly, especially since she is a princess and is still doing business outside. If that gets out, she might not be able to take care of the palace.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu said immediately.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just a passerby who is upholding justice!"

"I took a dose of medicine here last time. After taking it, I feel fine and healthy. Everything I eat tastes delicious!"

"What about you? Do you have any evidence? If you have the guts, just sue me. Then I will sue you for defamation. I heard that this defamation seems to be... If the case is judged, the slanderer will be beaten with a stick thirty times?"

Yan Er, who was standing by, assisted and said, "You remembered it wrong. It's fifty strokes of the cane!"

After hearing these words suddenly, the few people who were originally standing in the front stepped back one after another.

No one would deliberately remember the laws of the dynasty, so even if Qian Ruoyu said that he would be beaten with a hundred sticks, no one would not believe it.

Especially when they saw Qian Ruoyu and Yan'er being so confident, they didn't dare to say anything more and were all shocked.

Qian Ruoyu stepped up and continued.

"I think you are here to slander other people's shops on purpose. Seeing that the shopkeeper looks so honest, you want to slander him like this. How about this, let's all go to see the official together."

"Whether it is poison or not, the government will naturally tell the truth. However, if it is really slander, then I am afraid that the sticks in the government will be broken by then, and none of you will be able to escape, right?"

After Qian Ruoyu finished saying this, the people who went directly to the back began to gradually disperse. These people were indeed in the same group.

The people behind were scared, and the people in the front naturally lost their confidence. The person standing in the front stepped back without hesitation and ran away.

After seeing his appearance, the others looked at each other in bewilderment, and then retreated without saying a word. After retreating to a certain distance, they left one after another.

Watching them scatter like birds and beasts, Qian Ruoyu simply showed a smile on his face. It was so easy to deal with these people.

However, Qian Ruoyu did not expect that Zhou Yuanliang would encounter such a thing, so she did not follow Zhou Yuanliang into the store, but asked instead.

"Have you offended anyone recently?"

Zhou Yuanliang shook his head.

Then he seemed to remember something and spoke quickly.

"By the way, there's a Boss Li who seemed to have sent someone to my pharmacy before, and he also gave me a prescription."

"It lists the names of many medicinal herbs and their prices. Those prices are a little more expensive than ours. That person also said that it was Boss Li who asked me to do this and asked me to adjust all the prices to be exactly the same as on the list."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu slightly extended her hand, and Zhou Yuanliang understood what Qian Ruoyu meant.

He hurried back to the store, took out the original list and handed it to Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu only took a glance and knew that the prices of all the medicinal materials here were indeed much more expensive than those sold in the pharmacy. Could this be the other party's business behavior?

After all, because the prices in his pharmacy are much lower, there are many more people coming here to buy medicine than in the surrounding pharmacies.

But Qian Ruoyu did not expect that Boss Li would say such a thing.
