More importantly, even when she was eating, Jin Lianhua still did not put down her weapon. Instead, she placed the weapon steadily beside her, looking very cautious.
Even when a maid wanted to take her weapon away, Jin Lianhua simply held down her weapon and waved at the maid.
Seeing Jin Lianhua's appearance, Qian Ruoyu nodded with relief, thinking she was a cautious and good bodyguard.
Although the chief shopkeeper also ate a few bites at this time, he knew in his heart that the reason why Qian Ruoyu came to him was definitely not for any simple matter.
At this moment Qian Ruoyu turned around and smiled at the head shopkeeper, who immediately smiled back politely.
"Haha, Chief Shopkeeper, it seems that you don't know why this princess came here this time, but there's no need to be so nervous, right?"
"Have a good meal and relax first. This princess won't say anything more to you first. We'll ask you later."
When the chief shopkeeper heard Qian Ruoyu's words, he nodded and became a diner with peace of mind.
Qian Ruoyu began to taste the various delicacies in the Dahonglou.
After all, it is the most luxurious restaurant in the whole capital, so the dishes in Dahonglou are all delicious and almost none of them are ordinary.
And after the cooked dishes were served, all kinds of braised dishes and seafood were put on the table. There were even a dozen small plates placed on the side, filled with sweet chestnuts, candied fruits, sour pear strips, date gum, etc. Each dish looked extremely delicate and pleasing to the eye.
Qian Ruoyu felt full after just a few bites, but she still tasted all the dishes before putting down her chopsticks.
After all, it is the largest restaurant in the capital, and it is a rare opportunity for Qian Ruoyu to spend her own money to have a meal here, so naturally she would not miss any dish.
The dishes are also very delicious, no wonder Da Hong Lou has been able to last for so long and is now thriving.
The shopkeeper standing nearby suddenly saw Qian Ruoyu had put down his chopsticks, then he swallowed the half-bitten piece of meat into his mouth and quickly put down his chopsticks.
After seeing his expression, Qian Ruoyu smiled.
"If you are not full, then you can eat first. I am not in a hurry to tell you anything. At least you should eat first before we can talk."
The chief shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything more at this time. He put down his chopsticks, shook his hand, and spoke respectfully.
"Ahem, Madam, you are worrying too much. I am full too. I am full too."
Seeing his expression, Qian Ruoyu naturally didn't know what to say.
So Qian Ruoyu smiled and asked directly.
"In that case, I will get straight to the point. I want to know about two people. These two people are big bosses in Beijing. The first one is called Boss Li."
"I don't know his name, but today he brought people to a friend's pharmacy and caused trouble. Under my friend's request, I naturally need to step in, but I don't know who the other party is, so I want to ask you, the shopkeeper."
Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, the shopkeeper immediately thought about it in his mind.
He rolled his eyes, looked out the window, then at the door, as if he remembered something, and spoke quickly.
"This... Madam, you are not talking about Li Qiankun, the boss of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, right?"
Hearing what he said, Qian Ruoyu quickly looked over, meaning that he wanted the shopkeeper to continue speaking immediately.
The chief shopkeeper then continued.
"This boss Li Qiankun is the vice president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. He is in charge of the Beijing medicine store. Although I don't have a close relationship with him, he has come to the Red Mansion to entertain guests several times, so I remember his name."
"This boss Li Qiankun is in charge of the dozen or so medicine shops under the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. I guess the boss Li you are talking about is him?"
After hearing what he said, Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly.
It seems that only the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce can do such a thing, otherwise which drug store owner would take the initiative to find someone to fix the problem.
Especially the Capital Chamber of Commerce. Before this, Qian Ruoyu had never even heard of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, so she immediately wanted to ask about it.
The chief shopkeeper also spoke quickly.
"This Capital Chamber of Commerce is made up of hundreds of merchants from the entire capital. Before this, the business fees set by the capital government were too high, so all the merchants stood together and elected several leaders to talk to the capital's business department, and finally determined a slightly less high fee."
"And it was after that incident that the Beijing Chamber of Commerce was successfully established, and those people became the president and vice presidents. Now the Beijing Chamber of Commerce has become extremely stable and has formed a certain scale. Princess, I'm afraid it would be better for you not to interfere in this matter."
Qian Ruoyu just smiled lightly after hearing these words.
How could she not take action when her pharmacy was threatened? If she didn't take action, she wouldn't be Qian Ruoyu.
But Qian Ruoyu was thinking in his heart, what method should be used to solve this matter? Especially in such a time when turmoil may occur, it is even more impossible to act casually, otherwise it is likely to bring crisis to the palace.
In particular, these people had also had interviews with Shangke Jieshi Zhongzhong, which shows that they are very likely to have some connection with the Ministry of Revenue.
At this time, the Ministry of Revenue was holding the prince's lifeblood, so Qian Ruoyu could not touch it easily unless she thoroughly understood the facts.
It is also for this reason that Qian Ruoyu decided to put this matter aside for the time being and find a better opportunity to meet Li Qiankun.
And the next boss is Boss Fang.
"Well, this princess knows about this. This princess will not personally take care of this matter, but there is another person, that is Boss Fang."
"I have very little information about Mr. Fang. I can even say that I have no information about him at all. I just want to know how many big bosses in Beijing have the last name Fang?"
Hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the chief shopkeeper began to feel a little embarrassed.
After all, Qian Ruoyu didn't say any information, just a surname.
After thinking for a while, the chief shopkeeper said.
"Princess, please allow me to think about this for a moment. There should be three bosses in the capital. Two of them are also in the Capital Chamber of Commerce, and the other one does not belong to the Capital Chamber of Commerce."
"There are thousands of bosses in the capital, but only a few hundred have joined the Chamber of Commerce. The rest are not in the Chamber of Commerce."
