Chapter 216 - Promulgation of a ban
"The grass people knock to see the emperor!" Several people said in unison.
"Flat!" After the emperor glanced at them, he immediately asked, "Previously, I heard that you were injured by her guards in Bai Linxia's shop, but is there such a thing?" ”
"In fact, the grass people are all from the same village, and a few days ago, due to the rise in grain prices, we couldn't afford to buy food, and we were angry for a while, so we found the culprit!" One of the men, in his thirties, bowed his head.
"Oh, why did you identify her as the culprit?" The emperor felt that Bai Linxia was not that kind of person.
After a few people glanced at each other, they told the rumors outside.
"For this reason, you think that she is the one who harms you who have no rice to cook, so you want to smash her shop to get angry?" The emperor frowned.
"Back to the emperor, it was indeed a few grass people who were too impulsive and didn't do things well!" In fact, they don't regret it at all, but they regret not being able to bring more people, otherwise they wouldn't have been hurt.
"What do you say?" The emperor glanced at Bai Linxia Dao.
"The rumors can't be believed, since the opening of my shop, all the items have not increased in price, even if the ingredients and cloth are not the original price, but the things I sell have not increased by a copper plate!"
Bai Linxia didn't expect things to come to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed because of her, before she came to Qidu to open a shop, although our life was not rich, but we could still get by, everything was her fault!"
"She hurt us and we can't eat, please punish the emperor severely!"
"If it weren't for the ready-to-wear shop you opened, as well as the jewelry store, Qidu would not be in the current situation at all!"
"Your Majesty, the grass people's wish is very simple, that is, they want to be able to eat enough every day and live a dull life with their families, and she has ruined our hope!"
……
In fact, what Bai Linxia said was the truth, although her shop was unusual, it never cheated other people's money.
The clothes and jewelry in her shop are all designed by her painstaking efforts, but because of the different materials used, the prices are completely different.
The contents are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and even people who don't have much silver can still afford it, because she has designed a lot of silver jewelry, and the price is relatively low.
Who knows, those people will suddenly cause so many incidents, and deliberately imitate her methods to do business......
"When did I ruin your hopes, I've been in Qidu for more than half a year, haven't you been living well during this period, and the person who raised the price has never been me, why don't you go to them to settle accounts, you have to stare at me?"
Bai Linxia felt that their actions were a little strange.
Yesterday, when they went to the shop to look for trouble, although their words and deeds were also very inappropriate, they only had resentment.
Now, what they say is noticeably different from what they were yesterday.
These few people spared no effort to slander themselves in front of the emperor, obviously wanting to make themselves disgusted by the emperor......
"Hmph, before you appeared, the businessmen in Qidu were all safe, if you hadn't broken this status quo, we wouldn't have suffered for no reason!" They insisted that it was Bai Linxia's fault.
At this moment, they had already received the money from the third prince, so they deliberately smeared Bai Linxia in front of the emperor.
The other party promised them that after the deed was completed, he would not only give them a sum of money, but also send them away.
When they saw that they were interested in money, they agreed to each other's request.
However, when the other party met them, they always covered their faces......
A few people didn't know that the person who bought them turned out to be the third prince.
In fact, the third prince wanted to take this opportunity to rectify Bai Linxia well, after all, Jun Qianchen was not in the mansion.
Killing people with a knife is his favorite method.
"I will send someone to find out about this matter, if what you say is true, I will definitely give you an explanation, if you lie, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The emperor was so imposing that they were almost out of breath.
"Please let the emperor know, what the grass people said is true!" He fell to his knees, his eyes overflowing with fear.
Those words were completely instructed by the other party, and they thought that Bai Linxia would definitely be severely punished by the emperor this time.
Who would have thought that their behavior had already made the emperor suspicious, and they didn't know it.
"You all know the consequences of deceiving me, don't let me down!" The emperor waved his hand and temporarily asked people to take them down to take care of them.
Bai Linxia knew that the emperor was a fair person, and this incident had nothing to do with her, so she was not worried at all.
The emperor didn't want to care about her affairs, but before Jun Qianchen left, Bai Linxia was the most relieved.
He was also young, and at that time, he wanted to do anything for the woman he loved, but his identity did not allow it, so that he missed his love.
Now, his son has found a beloved woman, and the husband and wife are Qin Se and Ming, and he is very pleased to be the father.
In fact, the emperor also admires Bai Linxia a lot, and thinks that she is a woman with a lot of ideas, and it is good to be with his son.
Jun Qianchen is young and old, and he looks as gentle as jade on weekdays, but in fact, he is alienated and indifferent in his bones, and he will never allow others to get close to him easily.
The emperor knew in his heart that if something happened to Bai Linxia this time, he would definitely have no nostalgia for Qi Du again......
In just one day, the emperor's people found out some clues.
However, they only found out that Bai Linxia would be scolded by those people, and he was completely framed.
It's a pity that they couldn't find out the person who framed Bai Linxia, the other party hid too deeply.
The third prince had already guessed that those few people were unreliable, and the emperor was shrewd and wise, how could he be easily confused by those people.
Therefore, he has long since secretly erased all traces.
The same is true of Wu Yuanhang, who has already eliminated the clues when he did those things.
The emperor was not very comfortable when he learned that someone was secretly dealing with Bai Linxia, although he didn't care much about her, but she was Jun Qianchen's wife.
Now, if someone is openly dealing with her, isn't he deliberately provoking the royal family?
Bai Linxia's background is indeed a little worse, but her own ability is outstanding, and now someone is targeting her everywhere, and it is clear that she is going to Jun Qianchen......
The emperor was partial to Jun Qianchen, so he directly disposed of the few people who lied and framed Bai Linxia.
He is the most protective person, Jun Qianchen is his son, Bai Linxia is his daughter-in-law, but now he is framed, if he doesn't show his attitude, those people will only be more arrogant in the future.
After disposing of the people, the emperor directly issued a ban, and from then on, all the shops in the Great Qi Dynasty could no longer do those things worth thousands of gold.
As soon as this ban came out, those merchants in Qidu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the emperor did not pursue the previous matter, otherwise they would all suffer.
Previously, they deliberately conformed to the rumors outside and pushed the matter on Bai Linxia, but now that the emperor has issued a ban, everything in the past is not to blame.
After the matter subsided, no one in Qidu came to Bai Linxia to customize clothes and jewelry.
After all, no one wants to make a fuss at this juncture.
Although Bai Linxia felt a little regretful in his heart, he was helpless.
The emperor also did this to restrain those unscrupulous businessmen who used sky-high prices of clothes and jewelry for profit.
He didn't target anyone, he just didn't want the people to continue to resent the court for inaction......
After Bai Linxia returned from the palace, he stayed in the palace and did not go out for three whole days.
At present, her ready-to-wear shop and tidying up shop, business will definitely be depressed for a while, and she is just ready to continue to expand her business without falling short.
So, Bai Linxia stayed in the house to study new dishes......
She couldn't let her shop run out of business.
In the past three days, when Bai Linxia was eating the chilled watermelon brought by someone, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.
If she can make some juices and fresh and delicious juices, she will definitely be able to attract guests.
Food is something that everyone can't refuse, and Bai Linxia believes that with the strength of his shop, those guests will come back sooner or later......
Bai Linxia carefully tested it several times, and finally made a cold juice that met her heart.
At the beginning, when she first came to Qidu to prepare to open a restaurant, she asked people to dig an ice cellar to store things.
Some of the food in her shop had to be kept at low temperatures, otherwise it would easily lose the flavor of the food itself, and now the ice came in handy......
Since the introduction of chilled juice at Bai Linxia's restaurant, some regular customers have not been able to control their curiosity and go to taste it in person.
After eating a steaming hot pot and taking a sip of cold juice, it is simply too comfortable.
Chilled juice brought a lot of business to Bai Linxia's Yafeng Restaurant.
Other people who had been secretly staring at her thought that this incident would be able to overwhelm Bai Linxia and make her shop in crisis.
If her shop closes, their chance will come.
As a result, Bai Linxia was so able to really toss, there were no more guests for exclusive customization, and she immediately launched a juice that was more attractive to guests.
What infuriates them the most is that this juice is beautiful, and even if they want to spread rumors and continue to make trouble, they can't find a reason......
"I still underestimate you!" After Wu Yuanhang learned that her restaurant business had resumed, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He originally thought that after this battle, Bai Linxia was afraid that she would collapse, who would have thought that she would actually make something new.
Wu Yuanhang was not blessed, so he immediately bought fruit to study, and he secretly asked people to buy chilled juice back, which was fruit juice.
However, after he asked people to find a way to squeeze the apples into juice, the taste was much worse than the juice sold in Bai Linxia Restaurant.
"What went wrong?" Wu Yuanhang couldn't figure out why it was also juice, and Bai Linxia's research was sweet and sour, which made people want to drink it.
The juice he found someone to make was either too sour or sweet.
Wu Yuanhang didn't give up, so he secretly bought all the types of juice in Bai Linxia Restaurant, intending to study it carefully.
Unfortunately, they didn't know anything other than that the juice was made from fruit.
They studied for a long time, but what they came up with was still not satisfactory......
Wu Yuanhang was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't imitate Bai Linxia's method like before and snatch the guests over.
Annoyed, he directly vented the anger in his heart on the maid at home.
On the other side, Feng Chenyu knew about Bai Linxia's troubles early on, but he didn't come forward.
He originally wanted to wait for Bai Linxia to be cornered, and then come to a hero to save the beauty, so as to gain her gratitude......
