The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much

Chapter 118 Repeated Pressure

Chu Ci sneered at the people sitting at the table and walked straight to the main seat.

When he arrived at the main seat, the shopkeeper trotted behind the chair and stood straight, looking like a general protecting the country.

He picked up the chair and slowly moved it back a little. Chu Ci went over and sat down. The shopkeeper pushed the chair forward. The whole set of movements was smooth and domineering.

Chu Ci sat down, took off the Buddhist beads in his hand and placed them heavily on the table, "Tell me."

Everyone at the table looked around, and no one dared to speak. They all lowered their heads, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Chu Ci glanced around and no one spoke.

The private room was unusually quiet. No one dared to make a sound. There was only the sound of everyone's breathing.

"Don't say it? If someone stands up now and says that I had no choice and someone threatened him, and stands up, we can talk it out." Chu Ci frowned, trying to be polite first and then use force, so that when he gets angry, he won't lose his temper halfway and feel uncomfortable.

Everyone looked at each other, then lowered their heads. No one wanted to be the first.

The main thing is that I don’t know what tricks Chu Ci has up his sleeve.

Chu Ci sneered, "Since things have developed to this point, I think it won't be difficult to explain the matter clearly, resolve the subsequent issues, and take responsibility for them myself."

Everyone's heads lowered lower and lower, almost lying on the table.

Chunhua came over and poured tea for Chuci.

Chu Ci drank cup after cup like this, until he had finished three cups of tea, but still no one showed up. Chu Ci was disappointed. It seemed that these people needed to be dealt with.

"Since no one has come forward, let's first talk about the medicinal herbs that are suddenly in short supply and in high demand on the market. How many do you have? Who did you sell them to?"

Chu Ci asked the question, wanting to see everyone's reaction, but it was the same as before, not even one gasped loudly.

Chu Ci placed the teacup heavily on the table. "I advise you, while I still want to talk to you nicely, to lighten your eyes, empty the water in your brains, and use the few remaining brains."

Chu Ci's words made everyone present blush. Since they could make such a big business, it was impossible for them to be brainless. Now that they were criticized so badly by Chu Ci, they felt a little angry in their hearts.

But he didn't dare show it, his face just turned a little red, embarrassed to be scolded by such a young girl.

Chu Ci felt a bit annoyed. He leaned back lazily and glanced at everyone. "If you don't want to talk here, if you get taken away, you won't be able to talk to me. I don't believe no one has asked you."

Everyone paused for a moment. Why didn't anyone come to ask them? The officers and soldiers had come to them several times, but they all said they didn't know. The officers and soldiers were helpless.

"I'm leaving this out here. You can sit here quietly and wait for this to pass. Don't come looking for me when the time comes. I won't care."

"One last thing. They say family, country, and the world are all important to you. You've done everything you can to make money. In these troubled times, I don't believe you can live so well."

Chu Ci placed the teacup heavily on the table, picked up the Buddhist beads and was about to leave.

Only then did everyone notice the Buddhist beads in Chu Ci's hand.

Isn't this the Buddhist beads in Prince Rui's hand? They are exactly the same. These beads cannot be imitated by ordinary people.

Could it be that Miss Chu was speaking on behalf of Prince Rui? Was Prince Rui standing behind Miss Chu? That would make this matter difficult to handle.

Everyone looked at each other and whispered to each other.

Finally, the youngest-looking man approached the elder beside him and said, "Grandpa Qian, what should we do about this matter? What is the relationship between Miss Chu and His Royal Highness Prince Rui? What are the Buddhist beads in her hand?"

"Does what we just said mean that our current behavior has angered those people above us? If so, are they going to deal with us?"

The old man glanced at Chu Ci and carefully identified the Buddhist beads in her hand. They were indeed the same as those in the hands of His Royal Highness Prince Rui. It seemed that the recent rumors were true.

Was that what he meant? The old man's eyes drifted into the distance, his silver hair floating in front of him, spreading out like his thoughts.

The old man sat down for a moment, gritted his teeth, and stopped Chu Ci who was about to open the door of the private room, "Wait a minute, Miss Chu, let's talk."

The old man stood up and glanced at his colleagues at the table. "Miss Chu, this matter has very little to do with us."

Chu Ci took a quick look and lazily returned to his seat.

"let's start."

The old man sighed, "Miss Chu, this matter is actually difficult, but also simple. In the end, it's all about the herbs."

"Keeping herbs in hand is not a long-term solution. A friend introduced me to this business, saying I should buy them and take them to another place because there are no good herbs there this year."

"We could have just taken a look. Anyway, the new herbs would be coming down soon. We left the normal dosage, so we wouldn't delay anything and we'd have made a killing. Who knew a disease would suddenly appear and turn us into this?"

The others also expressed similar opinions. "Miss Chu, our situation is similar. We really didn't expect this to happen. At the beginning, the matter of Happiness Village was also kept secret."

Chu Ci looked at them and snorted coldly, "They suddenly wanted such a large quantity. This itself is not normal. You knew it very well, but for such a small profit, you sold the herbs without even checking them."

"Also, I've already asked around, and this batch of herbs hasn't left the city yet. They must have been hidden by someone."

"Go back. I'll give you one day, no matter what I do. I want to see this batch of herbs in Huichun Hall tomorrow at the latest. Otherwise, no matter what happens in the future, don't come looking for me."

Chu Ci threw out the last words, stood up and left.

Everyone looked at each other, no one knew what to do next. After so many days, who could find a solution?

No one paid attention, and finally their eyes fell on the old man, "Mr. Qian, what should we do? It's been so many days, who can still find it?"

"That's right, Mr. Qian, what should we do next?"

"Mr. Qian, Miss Chu's last words just now, does that mean that the higher-ups are going to settle accounts with us? If we really can't find it, then we will lose our lives."

Mr. Qian glanced around and sighed, "If you have time to chat, let's go find it quickly."

"We have some meat now. Tell me, during festivals, are the chickens we kill always fat?"

Chu Ci, who was outside the gate, heard what they said, snorted coldly, and looked at Lin Feng opposite, "Find someone to follow them."
