A Path of Business: My Loyal and Lovely Husband - C221
“Everyone, have you heard that I have the formula for the plague?”
Jin Weiwei’s gaze swept across every single place and every single person present had a face of doubt. Boss Zhuang frowned: “I only found out about this early in the morning, and I vaguely knew what kind of medicine it was. Boss Wang, how do you know that these mob went crazy because of the plague medicine?”
Although Boss Zhuang could not bear to see Jin Weiwei in such a state, Jin Weiwei’s question made her quickly react to it. This matter was most likely not that simple.
Boss Wang’s heart skipped a beat. How did he forget that last night’s matter had developed too quickly?
Cheng Yu sat up, and the gaze he used to look at Boss Wang was cold as well, “Boss Wang, how did you know?”
“I, I’ve been going to the epidemic area every day, so I naturally heard it from these commoners.”
The Boss Wang snorted, looked at Jin Weiwei, and sneered: Madame Jin, don’t mislead the masses. My shop has suffered too, the losses are also huge, and this isn’t the way to shirk responsibility!
With that, everyone’s attention returned to Jin Weiwei.
She knew that it would be useless to argue with Boss Wang right now. If she did not come up with a way to resolve the situation, even if she did clear up the matter, these people would not buy it.
“I will send people to your shops to calculate the losses and then compensate you according to the market price. Everyone, is it satisfactory for me to do this?”
Hearing that, everyone was shocked, all of their shops had losses that added up to at least 10,000 gold, and this time Jin Weiwei had contributed even more, how could he possibly have any money?
“What? Not satisfied?”
Seeing that no one said a word, Jin Weiwei became impatient, she hated them the most when they just went overboard.
“That’s for the best.”
Boss Zhuang was one of the leading figures in the Chamber of Commerce. Since she had already taken the lead to speak, the others definitely would not object.
“That’s good. I’ll send someone to your shop to calculate the losses.”
Hearing that, Jin Weiwei got up, and when he was passing by Boss Wang, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.
“Boss Wang, do you want me to report to county magistrate and hand over the matter of Lishui County to you?”
Boss Wang raised his head and fiercely met Jin Weiwei’s sinister eyes. He could not help but shake his head.
“No need, no need. What I said just now was just a joke.”
“That Boss Wang sure is a big joke.”
After she finished speaking, only the group of people who did not understand were left behind, while Boss Wang was drenched in cold sweat. That little bitch definitely knew that it was him who did it, and her gaze just now was telling him that she would not let him off!
“…”
“What about you adults?”
Jin Weiwei did not return to the residence after leaving the merchant guild, but instead went to the yamen. She wanted to see how Wang Hai was doing during the interrogation.
“Madame Jin, Lord Wang is in the middle of a lawsuit in the main hall.”
Last night, he was one of the yamen runner s who went to arrest people, and he still remembered the Jin Weiwei who stood at the center of the two corpses with a stern expression. His aura, was probably no different from that of the Empress’s.
“Thank you.”
After thanking them, Jin Weiwei led his people and rushed to the hall.
“Speak, who ordered you from behind, as long as you say it out loud, you can keep your lives.”
Just as he finished asking, there was a flurry of chattering below. Wang Hai had a headache from trying to interrogate these people, how could they not think about the consequences when doing their work?
Jin Weiwei listened on the outside for a while and could not help but to shake his head.
“Sir Wang, I have two words to say. Can we move to the back of the hall?”
With the special situation, Jin Weiwei could not care about the rules anymore.
Wang Hai raised his head and saw Jin Weiwei. His eyes lit up, he now saw Jin Weiwei as a hope to save his life.
“Naturally.”
Jin Weiwei nodded and followed Wang Hai to the rear hall.
“Your majesty, please let these civilians go.”
“Why? “If I don’t find out who the mastermind is, how can I explain this to the imperial government?”
Wang Hai’s butt had not even touched the chair, but hearing Jin Weiwei’s words, he was so shocked that he did not even sit down anymore. He looked as if he wanted to grab onto Jin Weiwei’s shoulder and shake it hard twice to see if she was crazy.
“Lord Wang has someone keep an eye on Boss Wang, the one from the Lishui County Chamber of Commerce. I believe Lord Wang will reap the rewards.”
Jin Weiwei laughed faintly, he did not sit, and said: “I think it is best for Sir Wang to release the people outside. I believe Sir Wang does not want to cause an even bigger riot right after this.”
“You mean …”
Hearing that, Wang Hai calmed down. Seeing the coldness in Jin Weiwei’s eyes, he understood most of it.
Even if this matter wasn’t done by the Boss Wang, that Boss Wang knew something.
“Sir, please go ahead and investigate. I will take my leave now.”
Before Wang Hai could say anything, Jin Weiwei had already left.
After thinking for a while, Wang Hai called over the yamen runner and instructed: “Go and release those mob people.”
“…”
After leaving the yamen, Jin Weiwei ran towards the district where the people were the most.
“Mistress, since you’re so tired, why don’t you go back and rest? The riot has already been suppressed, so there shouldn’t be any problems for the time being.”
Pearl looked at Jin Weiwei who had a face full of fatigue, and could not help but say, no matter what, she had to take her body into consideration.
“Nothing.”
Jin Weiwei rubbed her brows, she did not know how to explain this to Pearl, the longer this matter dragged on, the greater the unknown danger would be, and now was the time when people were feeling uneasy, if she was uneasy at this time, then maybe the news she would hear tomorrow would be from the people of Lishui County rebelling against her.
After getting off the carriage, Jin Weiwei was no longer tired, and the aura on his body became even more powerful.
Pearl stared with her mouth wide open in shock. An ordinary woman really couldn’t do such a thing.
“Bring your men to gather everyone. Tell them that Madame Jin has an explanation for the prescription in his hands.”
“Yes.”
Seeing Jin Weiwei’s swift and decisive appearance, Pearl unconsciously tensed up.
Very quickly, Jin Weiwei stood under the platform and saw a lot of commoners gathered, some looking with hatred, some looking pitifully at her.
Seeing that it was enough, Jin Weiwei took two steps forward and said loudly: “I believe everyone is aware of the riot last night, right?”
Seeing everyone being scared, Jin Weiwei smiled, with a tinge of ridicule, she was a human, just like this. When doing something impulsively, she would never consider the consequences, and after discovering that it was the wrong thing to do, she would pretend to be pitiful and beg for forgiveness. Unfortunately, many things could not just be forgiven.
“Everyone says that I have the Plague’s formula in my hands. Some of you hate me, don’t you think? Last night, my mansion’s door was smashed, and many rotten eggs and rotten vegetables were thrown inside, do you want everyone in my mansion to be infected by the plague? ”
Jin Weiwei never thought that these people who did not cause trouble were innocent. At least, they did not stop them.
“I have the prescription in my hands, but I’ve only researched half of it. Everyone, I’d like to see if I can get the formula for the plague in my residence, right?”
