Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Lu Chong wanted to arrest someone, but he had no evidence. Now as long as Ling Chuan mentioned Xu Ping, Lu Chong could make a decision and arrest him.

But Ling Chuan unexpectedly replied with two words: "No."

Lu Chong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked: "I will ask you again, have you made enemies with others recently, so they framed you?"

Ling Chuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, I am a fool and I have no idea who I have a grudge against."

Lu Chong rolled his eyes helplessly: "In that case, let me find out the reason and then re-examine it."

Coming out of the government office, Luo Suyu grabbed Ling Chuan and said, "Mr. Ling, what's wrong with you? Magistrate Lu has asked you several times, why don't you tell us about Mr. Xu?"

An Jie on the side coughed twice quickly, and Luo Suyu let go.

"My wife is impatient, please forgive me, Master Ling."

An Jie is a scholar like his father and works in the Hanlin Academy. Last time, An Changqing said that he wanted to crack down on the aristocratic factions, and this matter has to fall on the young man in front of him.

Ling Chuan returned the greeting and said, "In fact, I think that if Xu Ping had no one to back him up, he probably wouldn't have done such a cruel thing. As the saying goes, hit the snake at its seven inches and cut the grass at its roots. Do you agree with me, Lord An?"

An Jie continued, "Mr. Ling is indeed a man of many talents, but some things may not go as Mr. Ling wishes. The person behind Xu Ping is not someone you can easily deal with."

Ling Chuan chuckled: "We still have you, Lord An. I'm sure Lord Zuo Xiang won't let you suffer such a loss."

Looking at Ling Chuan's winking expression, An Jie couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll wait for good news from Master Ling."

"It's easy to talk about."

Anjie said goodbye and left with his wife.

But Luo Suyu was confused and asked, "What exactly does this Ling plan to do?"

Anjie shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then I see that you two seem to be having a very interesting conversation."

"It's enough to know his purpose. As for how to achieve it, that's his business. Some things don't need to be explained in detail."

Luo Suyu rolled her eyes and said, "You scholars are just full of tricks. A few words can make you think in many ways."

The news of the arrest of the two impostors spread like wildfire. Censor Xu Heng also got the news and summoned Xu Ping for questioning that night.

"Didn't you say that things could be done? Now that the person has been arrested, Yunfuji has not been affected at all. Instead, its reputation has soared."

Xu Ping quickly explained: "Master, don't worry. You can't find anything from us from those two people. I have long expected that they will be arrested. Next, I will send two more people to pretend to be Yun Fu Ji's employees, and arrest and send more until no one dares to buy Yun Fu Ji dim sum."

Xu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Is that all?"

Xu Ping went on to say, "Then spread some rumors, saying that there is something wrong with Yunfuji's snacks, that they taste sweet because they use a certain herb, that they taste good but are poisonous, and that those who have had an attack are lucky, and those who haven't had an attack yet will die when the attack comes."

Xu Heng, who was originally leaning against the back of his chair, sat up straight all of a sudden, his eyes shining: "Okay, this is a good idea, you should hurry up and do it."

"Yes, sir."

"But you have to remember that this matter must be done cleanly, and it must not involve our Xu family, understand?"

"The villain understands."

However, what neither Xu Ping nor Xu Heng expected was that Yunfu Ji had already launched a counterattack just as their second wave of offensive was launched.

Yunfu Ji’s previous flags all had white characters on a red background, which looked festive. But today was different. The flags on the backs of all Yunfu Ji’s employees were changed to white characters with red characters.

The villain poisoned and framed our store.

He has lost all conscience and will have no descendants.

These two lines of shocking characters, coupled with the white banner that is only used during funerals and the blood-red characters on it, are simply shocking.

As a result, whether people buy snacks or not, they will ask what is going on.

The guys at Yunfu Ji will give a detailed account of what happened during this period.

Naturally, some people would ask who poisoned Yunfu Ji.

At this time, the guys would not say it clearly, but instead told the story of how Xu Ping led the jet warrior Wu Man to falsely accuse Yun Fu Ji.

In just two days, the news spread throughout the city and even gave rise to different versions.

The most brutal version of the story is that Xu Ji poisoned the snacks in order to spread the plague. As for the purpose of spreading the plague...

When everyone talks about this, they will reveal a secretive expression, and the following imagination is terrifying when you think about it carefully.

Xu Ping was not slow in his actions. The day after he discussed the matter with his master, someone had already started spreading rumors outside.

As luck would have it, it coincided with the rumors spread by Lingchuan, and caused some subtle reactions.

Because Xu Ping was spreading rumors secretly, he could not compete with the Yunfu Ji guys who were strolling around the streets in terms of scale, so the rumors he fabricated were quickly swallowed up and absorbed, and eventually the mastermind behind the scenes was pointed at Xu Ji.

When the rumor developed to this point, the conspiracy was obviously not something that a single dim sum shop like Xu's could handle, so the subject of the rumor became the Xu family of Ruyin.

That’s right, they directly skipped the Xu Heng branch of the Xu family and pointed the finger directly at the Ruyin Xu family.

When Ling Chuan heard this rumor, he was also numb, thinking that he didn't intend to make it so big.

However, he quickly realized that someone was pushing this matter behind the scenes and taking the opportunity to make a big fuss about it.

Ling Chuan was a little unhappy. He used me to do something without even notifying me?

The most important thing is that this matter has become a bit too big, with even the spreading of plague. Isn't this equivalent to saying that the Xu family of Ruyin wants to rebel? Then the Xu family of Ruyin will fight me to the death.

"Lao Cao, this matter ends here, it's time to close the net."

Cao Huanchun had been excited to watch the excitement these days, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "Closing the net? Didn't you say you wanted to make things bigger?"

"What a big deal! This is too big a deal. Someone is using us to mess things up. If we are implicated in such a big thing, how can we cover it up?"

Cao Huanchun came back to his senses at once. Yes, he was just the owner of an ordinary dim sum shop. Why should he play with such aristocratic families?

"Then how do we collect it?"

"Two things." Ling Chuan held up two fingers. "First, we go to the government office and file a complaint. We say that we suspect Xu Ji poisoned us and framed us. We can pin the blame on competition."

"What about the second thing?"

Ling Chuan looked at the boiled and packaged sugar in the courtyard: "The second thing is to prove your innocence."
