Chapter 442: Chapter 444 You’re Really Amazing_1

"Sir, most of these belong to the rouge and cosmetics businesses, uh... it was you who initially said that these businesses could be managed by Master Lin, that we should listen to him. So... whenever Master Lin requested an investigation of a shop, we dispatched someone to do so."

Magistrate Zhang felt a chill run over his scalp.

Yes, those were his words. To favor his brother, he granted Lin Shouye privilege, turning a blind eye and indulging him.

The phrase "Those who persist in wickedness will bring about their own destruction" came into his mind, causing Magistrate Zhang to tense up.

Clearly, the recent events were targeting the rouge business.

It also involved those two girls.

Those two ladies have strong personalities, daring to speak straightforwardly and contradict. Surely, they must have a strong backing, possibly with some force within Jianghu behind them.

Magistrate Zhang had considered secretly investigating these two ladies. By examining their social circles, it would be easy to unravel the force behind them. But every time he thought about his younger son, he abandoned the idea.

After all, it was just two girls opening a shop in the county, they weren’t committing any crime. Business should be about fair competition. Over the years, he had provided plenty of loopholes for Lin Shouye.

Magistrate Zhang returned the books to Jin Cao, "Check which merchants are operating legally. As long as they are legal, let them complete the necessary procedures and should seal the illegal ones, no more delays, this should take effect today. Also, don’t listen to Lin Shouye’s views on business matters. Everything goes according to Dajin Law."

Jin Cao stunned for a while before he understood that Magistrate Zhang intended to confront Lin Shouye.

Considering the recent rumors in the county about corruption in the commercial department, Jin Cao felt relieved and hurriedly carried out the orders according to Magistrate Zhang’s commands.

...

After the seal was torn off their branch, Nan Feng and Xue Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not just them, several other sealed shops also resumed business. Everyone said that Magistrate Zhang had finally done something right.

However, the people attributed this to the pressure of public opinion, saying that Magistrate Zhang couldn’t stand the pressure and that’s why he allowed the shops to reopen.

After reopening, Nan Feng organized a discount event, claiming that it was to celebrate the vindication of Spikenard Square. For three days, all shoppers could enjoy a 30% off discount, making the shop teeming with customers.

At dusk.

After closing the shop, Nan Feng invited Yege for dinner at Wanjin noodles shop.

Yege had only arrived the morning before, just after Nan Feng and Xue Ling had tricked Lin Shouye.

"Ah, we finally made it through another hurdle!"

On the street, Nan Feng stretched lazily and said, "Starting a business is really tough, there’s obstacle after obstacle."

Yege couldn’t help but pat his head, praising her, "You’re quite impressive!"

"Actually, you’ve helped me a lot. You secretly took Magistrate Zhang’s son out for a day, and he lifted the seal on my shop so quickly. It’s clear he must have been scared."

"Everyone has something they are afraid to lose. Magistrate Zhang’s younger son is his life. He wouldn’t risk his son’s safety. After weighing it up, he had to give up protecting Lin Shouye. Besides, giving you merchants a chance to survive is something he should have done anyway. Now he has both ensured his son’s safety and won himself praise, why would he not do it?"

"You’re right," after Nan Feng finished speaking, she suddenly looked at the people ahead, "Yege, is that Magistrate Zhang’s son?"
