Qiao Chu sighed: Every time Cui Xiuxiu and Xu Jiye went to buy Chinese herbal medicine, they always bought big and big bags.
As Tianxiangfang's business gets better and better, naturally some people will be jealous!
As long as interested people contact each other and do some research, they will naturally know which Chinese herbal medicines Tianxiangfang purchases daily...
This is to prevent Tianxiangfang from making balms and powders for sale!
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask about the situation." Qiao Chu said and strolled outside.
Of course, Qiao Chu went to the Sixteenth Guards where Qiao Ancheng was.
When Qiao Ancheng learned that Qiao Chu was coming, he quickly asked her to come in.
Qiao Chu did not go in, but took Qiao Ancheng to find a teahouse outside and ask for a private room.
Hearing the girl say that someone was actually targeting Tianxiangfang, Qiao Ancheng felt incredible: "Who is so bold?"
Almost everyone in the court knows that His Highness the Crown Prince owns shares in Tianxiangfang, and now that the Crown Prince oversees the country, who dares to do such a thing at this time?
Qiao Chu tilted his head: "But that's the truth!"
Qiao Ancheng thought for a moment: "Just wait for me to give you the news. I'll ask someone to check first." In addition, he also sent a message to His Royal Highness.
Qiao Ancheng knew the seriousness of this matter.
To put it mildly, it can be said to be competition between businesses.
But if we look at it more seriously, His Royal Highness is behind Tianxiangfang after all. If someone wants to use this to cause trouble, it is not something that a small captain of the Sixteenth Guards can solve.
It's just that Qiao Ancheng didn't expect that less than an hour after sending the letter, His Royal Highness would call someone to summon him?!
Qiao Ancheng became anxious instantly.
What's the point of summoning me for this kind of thing?
I am not a party involved and have not received the investigation results yet. What can I say?
Or... did he want to talk to Qiao Xiaofu's father alone?
When he thought of this possibility, Qiao Ancheng immediately became extremely vigilant: This pig wants to steal his own cabbage again?!
With this vigilance, Qiao Ancheng entered the palace.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, supervises the country, and set up a low table next to the table that His Majesty often used in the imperial study. He sat in front of the low table and reviewed the memorials.
Zhuzi stepped forward and reminded His Highness the Crown Prince who was immersed in reviewing the memorial: "Your Highness, Crown Prince Qiao is here."
"Ah? Oh." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately folded the memorial in his hand, stood up with a smile, "Give me a seat."
The alarm bells all over Qiao Ancheng's body were trembling: No!
This is not right!
How can I, a small guard captain, be qualified to sit down in front of His Highness the Crown Prince?
This guy must be plotting against his eldest daughter!
He wants to take me down?!
He was extremely vigilant in his heart but did not dare to show it on his face. Qiao Ancheng thanked him awkwardly and sat down for a while.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked if Qiao Ancheng was ready for his marriage, and then asked about the situation of the Sixteenth Guard, and then His Royal Highness naturally switched to the matter of Tianxiangfang.
"Your Majesty knows that I have shares in Tianxiangfang, and it was Xiaofu who insisted on giving them to me. Now that I am in charge of the country, it is difficult for me to come forward to investigate this matter in person. You can come forward on my behalf to find out what is behind this.
Who is taking action?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, before Qiao Ancheng refused, he took out a sign.
"This is the sign from my Prince's Mansion. Take it. If someone refuses to cooperate, you can take this sign and ask Marquis Changping to mobilize 200 people from the Imperial Army... Just do what's easy for you."
Qiao Ancheng didn't want to accept it: This kind of brand is said to be able to mobilize the imperial army, but it is also very eye-catching. After all, it is something that many people can't get.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be able to see through Qiao Ancheng's thoughts. He sighed and said, "Xiaofu finally managed to build a Tianxiangfang. If people bully her so much that she can't open it anymore, she will definitely be very sad..."
Qiao Ancheng couldn't say anything if he refused.
"She doesn't have a deep foundation in the capital now, and there are not many people she can rely on. It's not convenient for me right now. You are her father. If you come forward to handle this matter, you will definitely do your best..."
As he spoke, His Highness the Prince put the sign into Qiao Ancheng's hand.
Qiao Ancheng came out of the palace in a daze. When the wind blew, he realized: "Damn! I was fooled by that kid!"
This brand is from the Prince's Mansion, anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance.
It's easy to get it, and it's easy to return it, but as long as anyone outside takes a look at this brand, they will think that Qiao Ancheng is from the Prince's Mansion!
And won the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince!
Otherwise, how could you get a token that can mobilize troops?!
Then everyone will come to a conclusion: Qiao Ancheng has taken refuge in His Highness the Crown Prince...
It was clear that I was still hesitating before whether to seek refuge with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I was still feeling dissatisfied...
Okay, now there is no need to hesitate. I came out of the Imperial Study Room holding the token from the Prince's Palace. In less than two days, the whole capital would know...
"..." Qiao Ancheng was about to cry but had no tears: His Royal Highness is so scheming that he can't play with it himself, how can he be punished?!
Qiao Chu went to several pharmacies, but it was true that those medicinal herbs were not available, especially white aconite. It was really not available in any pharmacy.
While walking, Qiao Chu came to the door of a drug store called Chunhuitang.
It seems that there is also a Chunhui Hall in Xing'an County?!
I don't know if they are the same family.
Qiao Chu strolled in. Inside, several clerks were busy arranging cabinets of medicinal materials, and two doctors sitting in the hall were treating patients.
Seeing Qiao Chu come in, a waiter immediately came to greet him: "Madam, do you want to buy something? Or do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
Qiao Chu thought for a while and asked: "Do you have any white aconite here?"
After hearing this, the waiter hesitated for a moment and subconsciously turned to look at the shopkeeper behind the counter.
Qiao Chu had a clue in his mind: It was there, but he might not dare to sell it to himself.
It seems that someone really wants to kill Tianxiangfang...
So Qiao Chu walked to the counter slowly: "Shopkeeper, does your Chunhui Hall have a branch outside? I'm from Xing'an County, and we also have a Chunhui Hall there. Looking at the sign, they are exactly the same.
of."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and nodded: "We belong to the same family."
When the waiter heard this, he immediately felt proud and raised his chin and said: "Our Wei family's Chunhui Hall has opened all over the country!"
"I wonder if you have white aconite here?" Qiao Chu asked again.
The shopkeeper didn't feel good about it and refused directly. He thought for a while and said, "It's not that I don't have Aconite here, but I don't dare to sell it to Madam in large quantities. Madam is from Tianxiangfang, right?"
Qiao Chu nodded: "Yes."
"We are also open for business. It stands to reason that if there is business, we will definitely do it, but..." Before he said the next words, Qiao Chu knew: someone told Chunhui Hall not to sell it to Tianxiangfang.
Qiao Chu thought for a while and asked, "Has Wei Wan come to the capital?"
"Do you know our lady?" The shopkeeper was really surprised.
"Tell her that I am Qiao Chu and I want to do business with her. If it is convenient for her, ask her to come to Tianxiangfang to find me." After Qiao Chu finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, seeming to be hesitating, but in the end, he turned around and went to the back.
