Chapter 525: Chapter 527: Something Happened (2)_1

"Sister Nan Feng, it seems like all these guests are the same ones from yesterday," Xiaoqing said anxiously. Seeing so many people surrounding Nan Feng, she feared that Nan Feng might get hurt, so she acted quickly to protect her.

More and more people began to gather in the shop. Seeing as Nan Feng could not provide an explanation, someone suggested simply reporting it to the authorities. Led by a woman who appeared to be the most vociferous among them, they rushed off to the government office.

"Sister Nan Feng, what should we do? They’ve gone to report it to the authorities! It’ll be disastrous if officials get involved. Otherwise, should I go to the Inspection Mansion to notify Brother Ye for you?"

"Let them go," said Nan Feng.

"How can we just let them go?"

"It will only calm down once they have gone. Do you expect me to start a fight?"

Seizing the opportunity now the customers had left, Nan Feng had Feng Gu close the shop doors.

She estimated that more people would come to confront her, but she was unable to provide a reason, and no explanation would suffice.

As expected, not long after Feng Gu had closed the doors, more customers who had made purchases before arrived. Finding the doors shut, they kept pounding, their emotions running high. However, seeing that the doors wouldn’t budge, they began to kick at them. When even that had no effect, they gathered outside and waited.

Meanwhile, indoors, Nan Feng quickly lit the oil lamp and began to examine the facial cleanser and face masks again.

The smell was the same as when she had brought the products. There was nothing peculiar, so they probably hadn’t been replaced on the ship.

Could it be that someone had added something to them while they were being transported over?

Those women whose faces had developed sores were all customers from yesterday. What they had purchased was the batch she had recently transported from Ping County. The older stock had just sold out yesterday morning, so she had replaced it with the new batch. Little did she expect to run into trouble today.

"Xiaoqing," Nan Feng hurriedly gathered all the silver coins in the shop, then took two taels of silver from the pile and gave them to Xiaoqing. "When the officials show up, slip away immediately and take a boat back to Ping County. Notify Li Moxiu at Spikenard Square for me, and tell him to immediately cease sales of the new batch of facial cleansers and face masks. Do remember!"

Xiaoqing could have accompanied Nan Feng to the Government Office, but if she were taken in too, then no one would be able to notify Li Moxiu in time. If something else happened in Ping County, it would be disastrous.

Xiaoqing nodded: "Okay, Sister Nan Feng, I know what to do. But what about you? Are you really going to let the authorities arrest you just like that?"

"Don’t worry, I’m just cooperating with the government in their investigation. Besides, it’s more comfortable being in the Government Office than staying here. I could drown in the customers’ complaints if I stayed!"

"And once you’ve notified Li Moxiu, head to my mansion to stay. If nothing happens to the shop in Ping County, you can help Li Moxiu there. If anything does happen, just stay put and tell Li Moxiu and the others to do the same. I’ll shoulder all the responsibility."

"Sister Nan Feng..." Xiaoqing was very worried about Nan Feng.

And she had an intuitive feeling that this was going to be a big deal.

"Just do as I say, remember, I’ve got contacts in the government. I’ll be fine!"

Brother Ye would also protect her.

...

Officials from the government office arrived promptly. A man came up to knock on the door: "We are from the Inspection Mansion, is anyone there?"

The Inspection Mansion? That would be under Song Cheng’s jurisdiction.

Nan Feng opened the door, "Yes, I’m here. I’m the owner of this shop!"

The man in the lead wielded an Arrest Warrant: "You have been accused of adding poison to your facial products, causing discomfort to many who have used them. We now kindly request you to come with us back to the Inspection Mansion to assist in our investigation!"

"Alright, I will go with you!" Nan Feng responded with an unwavering expression.
