Chapter 1634 Closing the case
Shu Yu stayed in the capital city for two more days and the case was reopened.
However, the official officer who went to Donggu County to investigate did not bring back any useful evidence. He traced the source of the rumors from the bottom to the top and found no results.
The entire Donggu County is so big that some people just listened to it, and they didn’t even know who the person was talking, so how could they know where the source came from?
After searching, there was no result, so there was no direct evidence to prove that Qian Fangli was the one who spread the rumor.
In the end, Qian Fangli was locked up for two months and was released home.
But the evidence he instructed others to steal was conclusive, and he was ordered to compensate the victim Liang couple for twenty taels of silver.
The Qian family is also prohibited from continuing to grow sunflowers and make sunflower oil and melon seeds.
And Lu Xiangjun, whose reputation was damaged because of the rumor, also received compensation.
Finally, the prefect asked someone to post notices in both Fucheng and Donggu County, taking this as an example to warn merchants to compete in a healthy manner and not to use similar despicable means to destroy the market environment.
This result was as expected by Shu Yu, and she did not feel disappointed.
Her purpose is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and now, the purpose has been achieved.
Many merchants and people were concerned about Mr. Qian’s case, and many people sighed when they learned the result.
It’s not that no one suspects that Shu Yu did this, but none of them have any evidence. If they talk nonsense outside, they will be slandering the village king. If they turn back, they will have to go to prison.
Because of this, Shu Yu became famous again, and Lu Ji's business was better.
Gradually laid the foundation in the hearts of the people, and it also made people remember that choosing melon seeds and sunflower oil is the authentic road note.
Since then, no one has ever had the idea of Sunflower again for a long time.
At least, even if there are people who really want to involve this business, they will come to Shu Yu to buy some sunflower seeds.
They originally thought Shu Yu would not agree, but they didn't expect that after the latter agreed on the price and conditions, they really sold it.
It has never been Shu Yu's purpose to engage in monopoly.
As for the Donggu County Magistrate Peng, who helped Mr. Qian, was scolded by the prefect on the spot and ordered him to think carefully about his mistakes and conduct profound self-reflection after returning to the county.
Although the punishment is not great, it is extremely insulting. And Lord Peng is recorded on the side of the prefect. If there is any good thing in the future, I am afraid it will not be his turn.
Compared with him, Lord Xie was much happier. The first fire was burning vigorously and successfully. In the future, other magistrates of this huge Dong'an Prefecture would be polite when they saw him, and no one dared to make things difficult for him blatantly.
As soon as Mr. Qian’s affairs were over, Shu Yu did not stay in the capital for too long. He soon took the Liang family and his wife back to Jiangyuan County.
When passing by Zhuangzi, when he saw Lu Sixing and others' stall, he simply stopped and took the Liang couple to eat a bowl of noodles.
It was the time when the sunflowers were in full bloom, and this area became lively again. Many people came to see the scenery and enjoy it. Lu Sixing, Li's Liang's family, and Cuihua set up stalls to sell food.
However, more and more people are selling food in this place now. Although Lu Sixing and others have the largest and most affordable stalls, the business still has some impact.
When Liang saw Shu Yu, he subconsciously sat next to her and began to complain, "We should have come to build a stall long ago. Before orchids got married some time ago, we were a few days late. Who knew that there were stalls everywhere inside and outside."
