The shopkeepers and clerks from the nearby shops all recognized Shen Yuhu and Ji Xun. When they saw them asking about Peng Lai's restaurant, they all gathered around and started chatting with each other.
"Two days ago, a woman died of poisoning after eating in your restaurant. After reporting the matter to the government, Inspector Ding led people to investigate and found that the well water used for cooking in the backyard of your restaurant was poisonous~"
"After the incident, the Yamen closed down all your restaurants and arrested a lot of people. Chef Shen and Dong He's family all went in.
"President Ding said that a gentleman is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty, and the royal family's property should abide by the law. This matter has been reported to the capital.
"He also said that this matter is very serious, and maybe the Tianxia Commercial Bank will be shut down by the royal family."
After hearing this, Shen Yuyu's face turned ugly. There could be no problem with her spring water. She was definitely being framed.
As for who is planning it behind the scenes, it is unknown. There are too many powers that have been offended. Prince Wei Yuande, Song Shangshu~~maybe the queen is watching from behind.
Therefore, the trouble Tianxia Commercial Bank encountered this time must be a big trouble. After all, not everyone dares to frame the royal family's industry.
After Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun understood the situation, they got on the carriage.
"Where to go?" Shen Yuyu asked Ji Xun, all the commercial banks in the world are about to be in danger, how can there be appetite for food?
"Yamen prison." Ji Xundao.
"Okay." Shen Yuyu nodded, and the two of them quickly drove the carriage to the Yamen Prison.
The guard refused to let them in, so Ji Xun knocked him down several times and took the key to open the door and let them in.
The prison was dark and damp, exuding a rotten and musty smell, and the torches on the wall flickered on and off. As soon as Shen Yuhu and Ji Xun entered, He Jin saw them and hurriedly crawled over from the corner, holding on to the iron door with both hands.
"Young master, the big boss.'
"Brother Ji Xun, sister Yu Yu." Shen Yong'an also hurriedly crawled over, and shopkeeper Hu and other waiters in the restaurant also gathered around. Everyone's hair was dirty and their bodies were stained with blood, as if they had been tortured.
"Young master, just stay at the door and don't come over." He Jin knew that Ji Xun had mysophobia and quickly stopped him.
"Nothing." Ji Xun said lightly and walked over as if nothing had happened. He Jin pursed his lips and was surprised by the change in His Highness the Night King.
"What's going on?" Shen Yuhu and Ji Xun came to the door of the cell and stared at them solemnly.
A restaurant waiter said: "The deceased was a middle-aged woman. She entered the restaurant alone. I led her upstairs."
The waiter who served the food answered, "It's really abnormal for one person to order more than a dozen dishes.'
Shopkeeper Hu also spoke up, "What's even more abnormal is that she almost finished eating these dozen or so dishes. In the end, she suddenly fell to the ground and died for some reason. I thought she died from exhaustion, and I don't know who reported it. Ding The governor will bring people here soon.'
Shen Yong'an said: "I was busy in the kitchen when the officers and soldiers rushed in and took control of me. After a search, they said that the well water was poisonous. But there were so many guests in the restaurant who all made dishes with the same water. They ate them. Why is everything okay?"
He Jin also said: "Prince Ding led his men to arrest me and took me to the kitchens of every restaurant for testing. In the end, poison was found in the water tanks of every restaurant."
After a pause, he said strangely: "I just watched them put the silver needle for poison testing into the water tank, and watched the silver needle turn black~~ I really don't understand what method they used, good water It can detect poison."
"Is there still water in the tank?" Shen Yuyu frowned.
He Jin shook his head helplessly: "No, every time a family is inspected, a tank is smashed, and all the water flows out."
Shen Xingwang said angrily: "They wanted to beat us into submission, but unfortunately everyone resisted and no one confessed."
If someone had confessed, Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun would have been arrested long ago as soon as they entered Lingzhou City.
"Well done to everyone." Ji Xun nodded, "Don't worry, you will be fine and you will be out soon."
Everyone hurriedly said: "We are fine, please don't worry, Master and the boss."
"Take this powder to treat the wound." Shen Yuyu handed two bottles of powder to them, "Just sprinkle it on the wound."
After exchanging a few casual words, Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun left the cell.
As soon as they reached the door of the cell, Governor Ding led his guards to surround them.
Inspector Ding, wearing an official uniform and official hat, walked up to Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun with a proud expression.
He looked at them with disdain and said, "If you dare to break into the prison without permission, don't you think Dadong Shen's family doesn't take me as the governor of Lingzhou seriously? Arrest them both."
Ji Xun blocked Shen Yuyu behind him and looked at Inspector Ding coldly, "As an official of the court, Inspector Ding must have a reason to arrest someone, right?"
"Reason?" Governor Ding sneered, "Isn't it a reason to break into the prison without permission?"
Ji Xun showed the princess token, "Who said we broke into the prison without permission? Open your eyes and take a good look at what this is."
"This~~Princess Token?" Governor Ding was surprised after seeing it, but he quickly returned to normal. He looked at Shen Yuyu and said with a dark smile: "Even if I didn't break into the dungeon~~but as the boss of the world's largest trading company, I run a restaurant Shouldn't he be arrested if there is a murder case?'
Shen Yuyu defended loudly: "We were framed. There is no way the food in Peng Lai Restaurant is poisonous."
Governor Ding hummed, "It's useless to argue if the evidence is solid. I've already reported it to the Ministry of Punishment, and the superiors will come to a conclusion soon."
Tianxia Trading Company is a royal property, and if you want to be convicted, it must be reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment.
Ji Xun narrowed his eyes.
The Minister of Punishment is a princeling. The prince left Lingzhou City and has not yet arrived in Beijing. It is unlikely that he planned this incident. Therefore, the person behind this incident must be either the queen or Zhou Chenxiang!
If they want the world's commercial firms to disappear, I'm afraid even the emperor can't stop them!
"This matter has not yet been clarified, so we cannot jump to conclusions. We must investigate clearly before making any comment." Ji Xun held the princess token in his hand, and his momentum was so strong that Governor Ding lowered his head involuntarily.
Governor Dante immediately came to his senses and said angrily, "You want to interfere in the affairs of the Yamen with just a princess token? I'm afraid this is against the rules."
"Isn't it against the rules?" Ji Xun looked at Governor Ding coldly.
Governor Ding said in a cold tone: "Of course it is against the rules. Even if Her Royal Highness is here, she has no right to interfere in the government affairs."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yuyu and said, "Shen Dadong's family is the largest trading company in the world. If there is a murder case in the restaurant, they cannot stay out of it. When the capital city approves it, they will also trick you and bring you to justice. I will let you go for now." Let them go."
The corners of Ji Xun's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but reach into his inner pocket and hold the tiger charm.
Shen Yuyu quickly pressed his hand and shook his head slightly at him. It was not a wise move to reveal his identity in Lingzhou, where the emperor was far away.
Ji Xun took back his hand.
After leaving the Yamen, Ji Xun couldn't bear it and said: "The Queen or Zhou Chenxiang must be behind this matter. They must have seen that the business of Tianxia Commercial Bank has improved, and they began to be afraid."
Shen Yuyu nodded in agreement, not knowing what to say. He knew early on that it was easy to do a good job, but it was too difficult when it involved intrigue.
