Chapter 22 The Enthusiasm Attracted the Attention of the Officials



"Xiao Tao, hasn't He Yang come back yet?" Yu Zhizhi asked anxiously.

"Boss, were you looking for me?" He Yang ran over, panting.

He stared in disbelief at the bustling scene before him.

My goodness!

He was only gone for an hour, so what happened? Why are so many people suddenly lining up to buy stinky tofu?

Could it be...

He turned his head and said to He Donghai in a low voice, "Grandfather, you must have spent a lot of money! It's really expensive to hire so many shills to support you."

He Donghai looked completely bewildered: "Your grandmother confiscated all of Grandfather's private savings. Where would he get the money to do all this for you?"

"But didn't you just say in the manor that you would find someone to come and support me?"

He Donghai pointed to a few old friends not far away, "Yeah, those are the ones who came."

"Lazy Yangyang, hurry up and serve the diners."

Sigh! The eldest brother gave him another nickname.

He had only gone back to the He residence, intending to have a simple meal to fill his stomach and then ask his grandfather to help find some people to come and support him.

Who knew that Grandpa was secretly eating hot pot again. Seeing such a plentiful amount of ingredients, since he was already back, he quickly sat down and ate from beginning to end, almost forgetting about setting up the stall.

"Boss, I'm not slacking off. I'll go serve the customers and keep order right now."

Then, he immediately got into character and said to his grandfather He Donghai in a serious tone, "This diner, hurry up and get in line! If you wait too long, you might not be able to buy anything. Don't think that just because I'm your grandson, you don't have to wait in line."

He Donghai was both amused and exasperated.

That bastard changes his mind so quickly. Not long ago, he was begging him to help find people to come and support the business here. Now that business is booming, he's starting to show off.

Seeing this chaotic scene, Zhu Yuanting was so angry that he stomped his feet.

He originally hired people to spread rumors to make Yu Zhizhi a laughing stock, but he never expected that it would bring her a wave of customers.

They even lost one or two taels of silver.

"Brother Lei, Brother Shujin, you guys need to help me think of a solution quickly, we've messed up Yu Zhizhi's business."

Zhang Lei had a sudden inspiration, "I've got it!"

He pulled the two of them to a corner and muttered a few words to himself.

Then, the three of them started running towards the government office.

Zhang Lei glanced at Yu Zhizhi's stall, revealing a sinister expression.

Hmph! Let you gloat for a little while longer.

Fifteen minutes later.

Yu Zhizhi had been standing next to the hot oil pan for a long time and was sweating profusely. She drank a large cup of cold water before she felt a little better.

Just then, several government officials approached. They were dressed in official robes, with swords at their waists, and walked over with an imposing air.

As Yu Zhizhi watched their arrival, a sense of doubt welled up in her heart.

What are these officials doing here? Has something happened?

The tall official at the front shouted, "You must be Yu Zhizhi! We received a report that someone came to the government office to complain that you were setting up a stall in front of the Sixth Prince's residence and disturbing the peace. Now we have all the evidence, so leave this place immediately."

Yu Zhizhi glanced at the distance and said, "Zhang Lei, were the three of you the ones who went to the government to file a complaint?"

She had just noticed them whispering in that corner; they seemed to have ill intentions.

Moreover, only those three had a conflict with her.

Zhang Lei was completely taken aback that Yu Zhizhi had guessed it so quickly, but he wasn't afraid. Instead, he said confidently, "That's right, it's us, so what! Do you still want to deny that you're disturbing the peace?"

"Whom did I bother?" Yu Zhizhi retorted.

Zhu Yuanting eagerly interrupted, "You've disturbed the Sixth Prince."

Yu Zhizhi sneered: "Oh? Is that so? Then why didn't the Sixth Prince send anyone to drive me away? Could it be that you few are very close to him and can make decisions for him?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

How could they possibly have any connection with that cold and aloof sixth prince? The sixth prince has always preferred quiet. If he knew that Yu Zhizhi's stall at the entrance of his residence had attracted so many onlookers, he would definitely be on their side.

Yu Shujin quickly retorted, "We only meant well by asking the government to intervene and stop your disturbance. If the Sixth Prince knew about this, he would definitely support us."

Yu Zhizhi was too lazy to argue with them anymore, after all, she still had business to do.

"Officer, please wait a moment."

After saying that, she turned around and shouted to the guards who were watching the melons at the door, "Brother guards, please help me call your master out."

In fact, the guards also wanted Yu Zhizhi to leave as soon as possible, otherwise they were being overwhelmed by the smell of stinky tofu.

As soon as the guard Zhao Yi entered the study, he told his master what had just happened outside the mansion.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin paused, her right hand, which was holding a pen, moving.

It seems she offended quite a few people before!

They've all come to this stall.

"Walk."

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment as he watched his master walk out the door. He hadn't expected his master to go out personally.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "The Sixth Prince has come out!"

Yu Zhizhi looked up and saw that this was the first time she had met him face to face since she had transmigrated.

What came into view was his dark green brocade robe, with a white belt around his waist, black boots, and long, glossy black hair secured with a jade hairpin.

In short, he exudes a noble and aloof aura.

He is estimated to be about 190cm tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a perfect body proportion, and is definitely a clothes hanger.
