355 Reorganization
Yuan Hui frowned. Most of the shops on Peach Blossom Street were owned by black-hearted merchants.
He had also heard that there was someone behind the businesses on Peach Blossom Street, so no one dared to punish even the black-hearted businesses. Why did Ning Yue want to go there?
Yuan Hui explained his thoughts, but Ning Yue did not mind. A black-hearted merchant? It seemed that the people under the emperor did not really do business properly.
Perhaps this was the real reason why the emperor had asked her to come over.
Seeing that Ning Yue insisted on going, Yuan Hui thought for a moment. It was better to follow Ning Yue. He was also worried that Ning Yue would encounter some difficulties there.
The two of them packed up and took a carriage from home to Peach Blossom Street.
When she arrived, Ning Yue realized that Peach Blossom Street’s business was relatively bleak. There were not many people on the way.
There were a few shops that one could tell at a glance belonged to the emperor. After all, there were still some iconic decorations on the shops.
Ning Yue got out of the carriage and casually walked into a shop. Immediately, someone stepped forward.
“Customer, do you want to buy some specialties? We have peach blossom pastries, osmanthus cakes, and many snacks here. Do you want to buy them yourself or bring them back to give to others?”
This waiter looked very enthusiastic. Ning Yue did not say anything and looked at the display cabinet at the side.
She frowned. Everything on the display cabinet was moldy. She pointed to the items on the cabinet and asked the waiter, “These things are moldy. Aren’t you going to take them down?”
The waiter smiled. “This is just a sample. We won’t sell the sample to you. Don’t worry.”
The waiter’s words made Ning Yue roll her eyes. “If you show these things, I won’t be in the mood to buy anything else from you.”
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, the server’s expression changed. “You entered my shop. You have to buy it!”
“Are you forcing me to buy it?” Ning Yue asked coldly.
The server did not answer Ning Yue’s question directly. Instead, he said, “You came because you wanted to buy something. Why didn’t you buy something when you entered the shop?”
Ning Yue took a deep breath and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, a few people suddenly came out of the shop and stopped her.
“Do you want to leave like this? Aren’t you going to buy some specialties back?” the server asked again.
Ning Yue was angry. “I really don’t plan to buy it anymore. Why? Are you planning to force me?”
“Since you’re here, buy some gifts and go back,” the server said again.
In the end, she couldn’t do without buying things. Ning Yue laughed in anger.
“Call your shopkeeper out. Call him out and I’ll buy it. Moreover, I’ll buy as much as you want,” Ning Yue said.
When the server heard this, she quickly called the shopkeeper out.
The shopkeeper came to Ning Yue with a smile. “Customer, what do you need me to do for you?”
Ning Yue took out the jade pendant and asked the shopkeeper, “Do you know this thing? Can you change everything on the entire street?”
Initially, the shopkeeper wanted to say that this jade pendant was worthless, but when he saw the patterns on the jade pendant, his expression changed.
“Master, why are you here?” The shopkeeper shuddered violently.
Ning Yue smiled and looked at the waiter. The waiter was already frightened by the “master” the shopkeeper mentioned.
This woman was actually the master? Why was her luck so bad? What should she do? How should she deal with it?
“I won’t say anything else. I’m here to investigate you lousy things.” With that, Ning Yue called out.
Yuan Hui’s men walked in and picked up the shopkeeper. Before the shopkeeper could understand what was going on, he opened his mouth to cry out for justice.
“Shut his mouth and send him to the Minister of Justice,” Ning Yue said coldly.
Just like that, the shopkeeper was dragged down.
Everyone present was shocked by this sudden change. Ning Yue glanced at the server. The server did not dare to breathe under Ning Yue’s gaze.
She lowered her head and stood at the side, hoping that Ning Yue wouldn’t notice her.
She regretted it to death. Originally, she was busy at another shop today, but that shop had no benefits. She was unwilling to stay there.
She did not expect to meet the master the moment she returned. This master had even sent the shopkeeper to the court officials.
“Also, bring this group of people to the Minister of Justice. I don’t believe anyone will dare to mess around. Take them away!” Ning Yue ordered.
