Chapter 204 Seizure

Xia Miaoyuan found a chair and stood on it, looking down at the people kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, feeling extremely relaxed physically and mentally.

"Your Majesty, what do you think should be done with these people?" Jingzhao Yin, who was kneeling and watching coldly, asked.

[Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse, riding on the popularity of the Great Xia royal family, opened such a shady shop, made a lot of money, and developed the power of the Liang Kingdom. It's really disgusting! ]

[This time, we should take the opportunity to cut off their way of making money. ]

Xia Miaoyuan looked at Emperor Mingxi with expectation, [Daddy, you have to be more ruthless! ]

"Emperor Daddy!" Xia Miaoyuan slid down from the chair, ran to Emperor Mingxi, and pulled his robe.

"Miao'er is very angry! The Emperor will punish them!"

Xia Miaoyuan thought again and again, and had to remind Emperor Mingxi in this way.

Emperor Mingxi rubbed Xia Miaoyuan's head lovingly, and had already made up his mind.

"Princess Jinse, how many restaurants have you and your wife opened in the capital?" Emperor Mingxi asked in a deep voice.

Yao Jinse rolled her eyes and replied, "There are three wine houses, nine restaurants and four barbecue shops."

Emperor Mingxi looked at Jingzhao Yin and said, "Lord Liu, send people to seal up all these 16 shops, and thoroughly check the prices and services in the shops, with a focus on investigating whether there is any fraud or bullying of customers." Yao

Jinse was startled, "Your Majesty, please show mercy! If you seal up all these shops, what will happen to Jinse and her husband's business?" Emperor

Mingxi raised his lips slightly, "Princess Jinse, you are still crying about the emperor's poverty! Liang Xin has so many industries, a dozen shops are nothing."

"Besides, I am doing this for your own good. You are no longer ordinary imperial merchants, but also bear the title of the Empress Dowager's adopted daughter and son-in-law."

“Your every move, every word and deed concerns the Empress Dowager’s face. To put it in a broader sense, it will concern the face of the entire royal family, and my face.”

“If you use the name of princess and prince consort to open a black shop outside to make ill-gotten gains, outsiders will only say that it is me and the Empress Dowager who condone you. They will say that the laws of Daxia have collapsed.”

[Hahahaha! The Emperor daddy is awesome! He has a lot of reasons for saying this. Yao Jinse's eyes were red ,

and she took out a handkerchief and pretended to cry: "Your Majesty, Jinse is not strict, just make corrections, don't close all these stores!"

Emperor Mingxi's eyes were gloomy: "Could it be that Princess Jinse wants to disobey the order?"

Yao Jinse's heart sank: "Jinse dare not, dare not!"

Emperor Mingxi continued: "Lord Liu, take all those who offended today to the Ministry of Justice, tell Lord Cui of the Ministry of Justice, let him carefully judge, and sentence them as they should, without any scruples."

[Daddy is awesome! Hahaha, Cui Lie of the Ministry of Justice, he is always ruthless in judging cases!] Xia Miaoyuan clapped excitedly on the side.

Lord Liu responded quickly, and those kneeling on the ground seemed to have their souls taken away, paralyzed on the ground.

"Shopkeeper Sun, you are such a bad guy, you are the one who has done me wrong! I am innocent!" Captain Zhang cursed weakly.

If Shopkeeper Sun had not asked him to come to the barbecue restaurant to arrest people today, he would still be leisurely serving as the chief constable in Beijing.

Although his official position is not high, he is also very powerful and respected by everyone in the market.

Just because he went to the barbecue restaurant, he fell from the sky to the mud.

[It's what you deserve! You are not innocent at all! ]

[As a dignified chief constable in Beijing, you didn't even ask questions before arresting people. You just wanted to arrest people after listening to the one-sided words of Shopkeeper Sun. ]

[I can see that you are used to the filial piety of the store owners. They give you tribute every month, and you always respond to your requests without any brains. 】

【You are quite old, but you are not as cautious as the young detectives under your command. If you had listened to the young detectives' advice, things wouldn't have turned out this way. 】

Emperor Mingxi stroked his beard and added, "Let those four young detectives go. They have nothing to do with this."

The detectives kowtowed to the ground, thanking Emperor Mingxi for his mercy.

Yao Jinse covered his mouth with a handkerchief, pretending to be about to cry, but his eyes were rolling around, as if he was thinking of some evil idea.

Emperor Mingxi said slowly, "Princess Jinse, you and Liang Xin are so bold and presumptuous to open a barbecue restaurant under the name of the royal family. For the sake of the Empress Dowager, I will punish you to confine yourself to reflect on your mistakes for one month."

Yao Jinse was stunned and whispered, "Jinse, thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty." But her body was already paralyzed.

The four words "bold and presumptuous" were deliberately used by Emperor Mingxi to hit her. Confinement to reflect on your mistakes

for one month was not a heavy punishment, but opening a restaurant under the name of the royal family was so bold and presumptuous that it was a serious crime.

Emperor Mingxi said that it was for the sake of the Empress Dowager that he only punished her with confinement to reflect on her mistakes for one month.

This was a warning to Yao Jinse and his wife, telling them not to take their status as the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager too seriously. If they made a mistake, they would still be punished.

At this time, the yamen runners under Jingzhao Yin came up and chained all of them and took them away.

The crowd burst into thunderous applause, praising the "Emperor's wisdom".

"This kind of black shop should be closed down, it's a good thing to close it down!"

"That's right, it's so unpalatable and so expensive, it should have been closed down long ago!"

"Oh, no wonder the barbecue is so unpalatable, I thought it was because the nobles in the palace had special tastes, it turns out it's fake!"

"They don't blame them even if they are killed, they even dare to bully the emperor!" "What about

the princess? Even if she is a princess, she can't cheat the money of ordinary people like this!"

"Oh, I don't know what the real royal barbecue is like, I didn't expect it to be a fake."

For a while, the people talked about it.

Xia Miaoyuan listened to the discussions of these diners, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

[Got it, I thought of another way to make money. If I use this princess's secret barbecue method and open barbecue chain stores all over the capital, I will make a fortune! ]

Barbecue chain store?

Emperor Mingxi was holding the Empress's hand as they were walking out. When they heard their daughter's words, they were both stunned.

The BBQ restaurant understands, what does chain mean?

The Emperor and Empress pondered over the meaning of chain, and under the gaze of the people, they boarded the carriage and returned to the palace.

...

Outside the Fanyin Temple, a carriage stopped outside the gate, and a teenager got off the carriage.

In the woods a dozen meters away, two secret guards hid their bodies in the trees, staring at the entrance of the Fanyin Temple without blinking.

The boy turned around and saw that it was the fourth prince Xia Chengyue.

At the same time, inside the Fanyin Temple, a young eunuch with an extraordinary appearance walked into the room of Concubine Xian with a tray.
