make trouble
May 18th is a good day, and Yuan's Clinic and Liuji Rouge Shop chose this day to open.
Although Qin Yousi had only been in the city for a short time, many people came to support him after hearing the news.
The officials who gave face to Princess Pingtung sent their housekeepers to congratulate her. Also coming specially for Qin Yousi were people from the Shi family, the He family, the Jiufeng Bank, and the Siding Construction Studio.
When renovating the shops, Qin Yousi specially opened up the courtyards behind the two shops. Today, he invited a chef to set up three tables in the courtyard. It was simple but lively.
The backyard was full of joy, but a group of officials with unfriendly faces came to the front hall of Yuan's medical clinic.
"Bring out the documents that support your livelihood!"
When these officers came in, they started banging on tables and slamming chairs, acting very rudely.
Yuan Zhi just thought it was an inspection according to regulations and asked Wu Jun to get the official documents from the cabinet in the accounting office.
To open a clinic, one must go to the Medical Authority to handle the formalities. Yuan Zhi and Qin Yousi naturally knew this and had gone there early in the morning.
To open the business quickly, Qin Yousi had originally planned to seek out some old Qin family connections. However, when they first went, the officials from the Hospital Authority, upon hearing they were coming, were very polite, saying that Bailutai had specifically requested that they be allowed in as soon as possible, provided all the necessary conditions were met.
The documents were issued by the Hospital Authority and will also be checked by the Hospital Authority. There is no reason to suddenly make things difficult for them now.
Yu Huan whispered to Qin Yousi, "Miss, these people look like officials from Jingzhao Yin. Are they here to extort money because we haven't made proper arrangements?"
Qin Yousi was not a rude person, so he asked Yu Huan to give a red envelope to each of the officials while serving tea.
"We are opening today, so we are inviting you gentlemen to have some fruit as a celebratory gesture."
The officers weighed the silver, accepted it with a smile, but had no intention of leaving.
When Wu Jun brought the official document, the leading official took it to check, but accidentally spilled tea on the document.
In an instant, Mozi and the seal blurred and nothing could be seen clearly.
"Official documents are defaced, making them invalid. This is operating without a license. Shut down this shady shop and take the people away!"
After saying that, the officials began to put up the door panels and seal them.
Yuan Zhi was greatly shocked. The government office in the capital was even more corrupt than that in Huai County!
"What are you doing? How dare you frame me like this in public!"
Qin Yousi saw it clearly, stepped forward and sneered, "Is this the only low-brow trick the Yan family can resort to?"
The officer was stunned and shouted, "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"
Yan Rong's father was the Jingzhao Yin of Shengjing. Qin Yousi didn't want to think about Yan Rong at first, but the methods of these officials really revealed the flavor of the struggle between women in the harem. He was afraid that Yan Rong had secretly transferred the officials without telling his father.
Qin Yousi was not afraid at all and shouted, "The official document is on file with the Medical Administration Bureau. Whether it is valid or not will be known once it is checked. You rashly arrest people on such a ridiculous grounds. Are you planning to take us back and lynch us, or are you trying to blackmail innocent people? Among the guests here today are members of the He family, the Minister of Personnel, and the Shi family, the Doctor of Personnel. Tomorrow morning, your master can expect to be impeached!"
After hearing these words, the officers did stop what they were doing.
The Jingzhao Yin official received a message from the Xichang Marquis's wife, saying that the people in Yuan's medical clinic would suffer.
The Crown Prince's Consort is the apple of his master's eye, so they should do their best to handle such a "small matter".
He did a quick check and found out that this was a family that had just moved from another place and had never expected to have such connections in the capital.
"Don't talk nonsense. How can we allow you to interfere in the investigation of our yamen? If you dare to shout again, you will be punished for treason!" said the officer sternly.
Qin Yousi was very upset. Today was the opening day of her shop, and in order to facilitate future business dealings, she hired some managers.
There is no head of the Princess's Mansion, the He family, or the Shi family. Although they will definitely help her later, they have no one to support them now, and they will inevitably be taken back to Jingzhao Yin to suffer.
Just as he was feeling depressed, a deep but resounding voice suddenly came from the doorway: "Oh? Who do you think you are? How dare you commit insubordination?"
Qin Yousi looked up with joy. Baili Hongyuan actually came in person!
The officer turned around and saw that he did not recognize Baili Hongyuan, but he recognized Xin Chen who was following behind him.
Normally, when they saw Xin Chen, they would bend down and respectfully call him "Lord Xin". But now, the person in front of him could only be that person!
The leading officer shuddered, immediately knelt on the ground, and saluted, saying, "I pay my respects to the Lord Governor!"
Baili Hongyuan didn't even give him a glance. He looked at Qin Yousi, Yuan Zhi and others, and saw that no one dared to take action, so his expression eased a little.
He walked up to Qin Yousi and said, "I was delayed for a moment by talking to someone. I'm late."
Qin Yousi was a little stunned. Why was he telling her all this? She hadn't even planned for him to come to the grand opening banquet in person.
"oh……"
The people kneeling on the ground were heartbroken after hearing Baili Hongyuan's words.
How come he had no idea that there was such a backer behind the Yuan Family Clinic?
No wonder the Crown Prince’s wife spoke up for such a small clinic. He thought it was too simple!
"My Lord, please forgive me! This was the order of the Marquis of Xichang's wife, and I was simply following orders. I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. I will never dare to do that again."
There was no point in making excuses, the officers could only accept their fate and beg for mercy, letting the gods above them fight!
"I didn't know that the soldiers of Jingzhao Yinfu had to obey the orders of Xichang Houfu." Baili Hongyuan simply said this, but he had already raised the importance of the matter to the level of Xichang Houfu calling on the Beijing troops.
This is terrible!
The officer was sweating profusely and kowtowed continuously, but he didn't dare say another word for fear of saying something wrong.
Baili Hongyuan had no intention of getting entangled with these little devils. He said to Xin Chen, "Take them back and investigate according to the rules."
"Yes." Xin Chen took the order and took these people away one by one. He also did not forget to search for the red envelopes they had extorted and return them to Yu Huan.
After the minor incident, Yuan Zhi apologized to the guests and quickly made arrangements to entertain them.
Qin Yousi couldn't let Baili Hongyuan eat at the same table with his subordinates, so she set up a separate table in her newly decorated boudoir to thank him.
"Those people must have been ordered by Yan Rong. I met her once at the Ye Mansion, and she's always been bothered by my appearance. Now that Duan Zheng was arrested by you for sending kidnappers to abduct me, she's blaming me."
Baili Hongyuan was well aware of the affairs between Yan Rong, Duan Zheng, and Qin Yousi. He said carefully, "Five years ago, you... your second sister passed away, and Duan Zheng married Yan Rong the following month. At that time, the Xichang Marquisate was criticized by the world because of the Qin family case. Although it was highly regarded by the emperor, it was still subject to criticism. The Yan family had many connections in the literati circle, and Yan Rong's father had served as the Jingzhao Yin for many years, so he could help the Xichang Marquisate to turn the tide in the capital."
Qin Yousi didn't care how the Duan and Yan families joined forces. He just said, "I used to think that the Yan family, with its generations of scholars, had its own integrity and character. I didn't expect them to fall into such a state of collusion with the tiger. I overestimated them."
Baili Hongyuan said, "According to the news, it was because Yan Rong volunteered for the marriage, which gave Duan Zheng a handle on her. This is how the Yan family went from being held hostage to being complicit in the corruption."
Qin Yousi was speechless. Apart from his good looks, what else was so good about Duan Zheng that made Yan Rong sacrifice the fate of her entire family?
The thing she regretted most before her death was that she did not cancel her engagement with Duan Zheng.
So for Qin Yousi, she didn't have much hatred towards Yan Rong, she just thought she was stupid.
If she had to say who she hated, she hated Duan Yao more.
"I plan to meet Duan Yao in the near future. In order to avoid affecting your actions towards Xichang Marquis Mansion, I want to tell you in advance." Qin Yousi recalled the previous agreement with Baili Hongyuan and said frankly.
Baili Hongyuan thought about what Duan Yao had done to the Qin family...
Before the Qin family encountered trouble, Duan Yao had become enemies with Qin Youzhen, the fourth daughter of the Qin family.
Because the emperor had granted a marriage between Duan Yao and Yang Yining, the third place winner of the imperial examination, at the Wenxi Banquet after the imperial examination, but Yang Yining said frankly that he liked Miss Qin Si and rejected Duan Yao in public.
Duan Yao is a competitive person by nature, how could he tolerate such humiliation?
But she did not go to find Yang Yining, but instead blamed all the humiliation she suffered on Qin Youzhen.
In the same year, the Qin family was raided and the women were thrown into prison to await exile. Duan Yao took the opportunity to vent his personal anger and had the jailer abuse Qin Youzhen, forcing Qin Youzhen to die in prison.
Qin Yousi still remembers his fourth sister's shrill cries for help and desperate sobs in the prison next door.
As a woman, Duan Yao deserves death!
Baili Hongyuan later returned to Beijing to investigate the whole story of the Qin family case and also learned about this incident.
Although he did not retaliate against Duan Yao directly, he had spread the news of her despicable behavior. No prominent family dared to marry such a daughter-in-law. Those who wanted to curry favor with the Marquis of Xichang wanted to marry her, but Duan Yao looked down on them. Therefore, she has not been married yet.
Seeing that Qin Yousi was about to settle this account, he wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't say much about the matter between women, so he just said: "Okay, be careful."
Baili Hongyuan was very busy, so he only took time off at noon to attend the wedding banquet and could not stay for long.
After sending Baili Hongyuan away, Qin Yousi lifted the small wine cup on the table and murmured to the air, "Sister Youzhen, I will avenge you soon!"
The lunch in the courtyard was almost over. Qin Yousi went out to socialize for a while, and then invited Young Master Sun of Jiufeng Bank and Master Deng of Siding Construction Studio to discuss matters separately.
Although the two had been reminded by Uncle Zhou, they were still quite excited when they saw Sang Youzhi today, as if they saw the second girl from the past.
Since these two people had the approval of Uncle Zhou, who was also guarding Baili Hongyuan's house, Qin Yousi believed that their backgrounds had been investigated by Baili Hongyuan and that they were trustworthy people. So he said bluntly, "Although the Qin family case happened five years ago, every time I think about it, I can't sleep at night or eat. Although I am a daughter of the Qin family's in-laws, my life was purchased by my second sister's blood and blood for ten years. I didn't have the ability to avenge them before, but now that I have grown up, I will avenge them!"
"I'm contacting you all using the Qin family code, hoping to ask for your help. If you share my aspirations, I will tell you everything I know. However, if you don't, I won't force you."
Master Deng, who was over sixty years old, spoke first: "When I was young, I was just a bricklayer whose leg was broken by a roof beam. I was left to fend for myself among the rocks. It was the Qin family who rescued and nurtured me, which led to the Four Ding Construction Workshop today. The Four Dings do not belong to me, Deng, but to the Qin family. I have no choice but to avenge the Qin family. Please believe me, young lady!"
Young Master Sun also said, "Every penny in the Jiufeng Banknote Exchange belongs to the Qin family. My father and I are just protecting the business for our master. My father always said that the Qin family will never disappear. We have been waiting for the girl for many years!"
"Thank you both for your generosity!"
Qin Yousi stopped talking nonsense and asked them, "Do you know where Yang Yining is now?"
