After Manager Qin and his two assistants were settled, An Ye returned from outside.
"How is it?" Bei Yutang asked.
An Ye said calmly, "We found them. They told us that a middle-aged steward gave them a bag of silver and told them to go to the Lei family shop and smash it up. According to their description, the man was a steward from the Gu Mansion."
After hearing this, Dai Xiang was filled with anger. "This Gu Group is despicable. They must have been behind those messages outside, and today's vandalism has proven our guilt. They were the ones who sold the toxic cream, and yet they dared to turn against us. How lawless!"
Even Xue Qian, who was good-tempered, showed some anger on his face.
"Let's go report to the police and sue the Gu family." Dai Xiang said angrily.
"Sister Daixiang, it's useless even if we report it to the authorities," Xiao Moer said. "The person investigating the poison cream this time is the Fourth Prince Gu Fanzhi, and he's a good friend of the Gu family's eldest daughter. He'll definitely side with her, not us."
"What should we do?" Xue Qian frowned.
Before, he thought that once Gu’s poison cream came out, it would finally protect many women from harm, and he was very happy. However, he didn’t expect that only two days later, the fire actually burned them.
Moreover, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to them, and the person investigating the case is related to the Gu family.
Bang, bang, bang...
There was a loud knock on the door of the shop in front, and several people looked towards the shop together.
"I'll go take a look." Xue Qian walked into the shop.
As soon as the door was opened, a group of yamen runners walked in aggressively.
When they saw Xue Qian, they looked him up and down. He looked handsome and not a clerk at first glance. "Who are you to this shop?"
"This shop belongs to our master. May I ask what may I do for you, sirs?"
"We are here to investigate the poisonous cream. Call your master out." The bailiff said in a strong tone.
While they were talking, several people in the back hall had already heard it.
When Bei Yutang and her group came out from the back hall, the leading yamen runner noticed Bei Yutang at a glance, simply because this woman had an extraordinary demeanor and it was obvious at first glance that she was not an ordinary person.
"Are you the owner of this shop?" asked the bailiff.
"right."
"Come with us." The bailiff said in an unquestionable tone.
"I want to ask, did the person in charge of Gu's company also go there?" Bei Yutang spoke so loudly that the people watching the excitement around could hear it clearly.
"We are here to take you for questioning. What does it have to do with the Gu family? Why are you talking so much?" the bailiff said impatiently.
They all knew how to judge people based on their circumstances. Knowing that the Gu family had connections in the imperial court, they did not dare to do anything to them. However, it was different for the Lei family.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"Mother."
"Sister Mu."
"Mrs. Mu."
There was anxiety in the voices of several people, and An Ye placed his hands on his waist, as if he would draw his sword at any time.
"Just do whatever you should do. Those who are innocent will be innocent, so you don't have to worry." Bei Yutang winked at Xiao Moer, and Xiao Moer understood.
"Let's go."
The bailiff was about to step forward to put handcuffs on her, but Bei Yutang dodged him.
"Sir, I haven't committed any crime right now. Isn't it inappropriate for you to put a clamp on me?"
"Just wear it when I tell you to. No need for all that nonsense."
"If Miss Gu also wears a clip, I will wear one too."
The people watching outside also felt that these people were going too far, and one of them muttered to himself.
"I just saw Miss Gu go there in a sedan chair."
