Chapter 1,634 Case Closed

Shu Yu stayed in Fucheng for another two days, and the case was re-opened.

However, the officials who went to Donggu County to investigate did not bring back any useful evidence. They traced the source of the rumors from bottom to top, but found no results.

The entire Donggu County is so big, and some people only heard it once. They don't even know who the speaker is, and they don't know each other. How do they know where this source comes from?

After repeated searches, there was no result, and therefore there was no direct evidence to prove that Qian Fangli was the person who spread the rumors.

In the end, Qian Fangli was released home after being detained for two months.

However, the evidence that he instigated others to steal was conclusive, and he was sentenced to compensate the victims, the Liang family and his wife, twenty taels of silver.

They also prohibited the Qian family from continuing to grow sunflowers and make sunflower oil and melon seeds.

Lu Xiangjun, whose reputation was damaged because of that rumor, also received a compensation.

Finally, the prefect had people put up notices in Fucheng and Donggu County, taking this as an example to warn merchants to compete in a healthy manner and not to use similar despicable means to damage the market environment.

Such a result was within Shu Yu's expectation, and she did not feel disappointed.

Her purpose was to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and now, her purpose was achieved.

Mr. Qian's case has attracted the attention of many merchants and ordinary people, and many people were sad to hear the result.

It's true that no one suspected that Shu Yu did this, but none of them had any evidence. If they talked nonsense outside, it would be slandering Xiang Jun, and he would be jailed if he turned around.

Because of this incident, Shu Yu became famous again, and Lu Ji's business became even better.

Gradually, a foundation was laid in the hearts of the people, and people remembered that choosing melon seeds and sunflower oil, Lu Ji is the authentic one.

After that, no one thought about Sunflower again for a long time.

At least, even those who really wanted to get involved in this business would tentatively ask Shu Yu to buy some sunflower seeds.

They originally thought that Shu Yu would not agree, but they did not expect that after the latter agreed on the price and conditions, he actually sold it.

Monopoly has never been Shu Yu's purpose.

As for Mr. Peng, the magistrate of Donggu County who helped Mr. Qian, he was reprimanded on the spot by the prefect and ordered to think about his mistakes and conduct deep self-reflection after returning to the county.

Although the punishment is not big, it is extremely humiliating, and Mr. Peng is recorded in the magistrate's side. If anything good happens in the future, it will probably not be his turn.

Compared with him, Mr. Xie was much happier. This first fire was so prosperous and successful. From now on, other magistrates of this huge Dong'an Prefecture will be polite when they see him, but no one dares to do it blatantly anymore. Make things difficult for him.

As soon as Master Qian's matter was settled, Shu Yu didn't stay in Fucheng for long, and quickly set off back to Jiangyuan County with the Liang family and his wife.

When passing by Zhuangzi, I saw the stall of Lu Sixing and others, so I simply stopped and took the Liang family and his wife to eat a bowl of noodles.

At this time, when the sunflowers were in full bloom, the area became lively again, and many people came to watch the scenery and enjoy the scenery. Lu Sixing, Li's family, Liang's family, and Cuihua set up stalls to sell food.

But now there are more and more people selling food in this place. Although Lu Sixing and the others have the largest and most affordable stall, this business still has some impact.

When Mrs. Liang saw Shu Yu, she subconsciously sat next to her and began to complain, "Originally, we should have come here to set up a stall, but before Orchid got married some time ago, we were a few days late. Who knew that the stalls inside and outside here would be so different?" It’s everywhere.”
