Since the opening of Nishangfang, the business has been so good that many colleagues in the industry have lost their financial resources. In addition to the Chu family, there are also many other people who are looking for trouble. They are all petty troubles, so Chu Qingwan puts up with it.
That time the Chu family hired someone to make a fuss and ruin the reputation of Nishangfang. She followed the trend and killed the chickens to scare the monkeys. From then on, nothing happened in the shop.
Unexpectedly, something big happened this time!
There was a flood in the shop in the middle of the night, and all the inventory was burned down. There was also a loss of life, and three helpers who were guarding the shop were burned to death.
Ling Han said: "The person who came to report said that the fire started strangely, as if someone had deliberately done it. The shopkeeper couldn't make up his mind, so he sent someone to ask if he should report it to the official."
Chu Qingwan's face darkened: "How unreasonable!"
The way to make money depends on one's ability. She turned a blind eye. These people really thought she was easy to bully!
In the evening, Chu Qing borrowed the carriage from Prince Qi's Mansion and limped to Nishangfang.
The extent of the burnt down of the shop was worse than she imagined. The two-story building was completely charred and black. There were fallen wooden beams everywhere in the house. There was not a single piece of cloth to be found in the novel and gorgeous clothes.
The burned corpse was placed at the door of the shop, covered with a straw mat that he had just bought. There were several circles of people surrounding it, pointing in a low voice.
Chu Qingwan glanced around and saw a few suspicious people poking their heads in the crowd, and his face suddenly turned cold.
She whispered a few instructions to Ling Han, then turned to ask the shopkeeper: "What's going on?"
The shopkeeper said: "Just now, a waiter who was fainted by the smoke woke up. I asked him about it, and he said that after the fire broke out last night, he saw someone leaving sneakily, and one of them had brought a girl to the store to cause trouble.
"
It was only once that the brother and sister came together to cause trouble. She asked Wei Zhan to check and found out that it was someone from the Chu family who did it.
In other words, this fire has nothing to do with the Chu family!
Chu Qingwan was so angry that his liver ached: "Report to the official!"
This shop was all her hard work, and those design drafts were sketched out one by one by her hard thinking. Now they were burned to the ground, and she wanted the other party to pay the price!
The public security in Kyoto is good, and the courtyard outside the government office is deserted. The idle government servants were dozing off, and were suddenly awakened by the sound of drums. They asked impatiently: "What kind of drums are you playing so early in the morning?!"
The shopkeeper was busy explaining the matter.
The yamen servant yawned and said perfunctorily: "Your Excellency, you haven't sat in court yet. You can go back and wait for the summons."
The shopkeeper's face showed anxiety: "Human life is at stake! How can we wait?"
The yamen servant said irritably: "Then what can I do? If you don't sit in court, do you want me to be the judge?"
Chu Qingwan was sitting in the carriage, listening to the government servant's push and pull, and the rain was about to come in his eyes.
She opened the curtain and got out of the car, walked forward, and said in a cold voice: "At this hour, the morning meeting has finished, and Lord Fu Yin is still not sitting in the hall. How can he be more arrogant than the Holy Emperor?"
In feudal society, the emperor was the most respected person. She hit the point with one sentence and frightened the government servants to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
The yamen servant looked her up and down and saw that she was well-dressed and imposing. He immediately lost the arrogance he had when facing the shopkeeper. He hesitated for a while and asked, "What grievances do you have to complain?"
Chu Qingwan said loudly: "My clothing store was set on fire, killing three people. I suspect it was the Chu family."
The only Chu family that the Yamen servant knew was Chu Huaian, who was a second-rank official and had an incredible family fortune. How could he go to a small shop to kill people and set fire to them?
The yamen officer looked at Chu Qingwan with a lunatic look: "Did you accuse the wrong person? Do you know the background of the Chu family?"
Chu Qingwan looked at him directly: "Why, the Chu family can't sue?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps at the Yamen Gate. It was Mrs. Liu who came with a few people!
