Chapter 1249: This Is a Shady Shop

Tong Shuitao, who was at the side, was very anxious. She also wanted to follow, but Miss Duan could not be left alone. She did not know if Shao Qingyuan had arrived in time to resolve the matter in the shop.

Shao Qingyuan, who was being nagged about, had already followed Yu Yanghong and Boss Zhang to the door of the shop.

There were four people standing in the shop. Yu Jin, Old Master Yu, Second Master Duan, and a young man in luxurious clothes with his back facing Shao Qingyuan, who should be Young Master Dou.

There were still some people watching outside the shop. Shao Qingyuan vaguely saw that the woman who wanted to have a second relationship with Uncle Yu was also there.

There was a middle-aged man beside her, frowning and looking very frustrated.

Shao Qingyuan walked over and heard the man say softly, “Why is Second Master Duan here?”

The woman sighed. “Not only did he come, but he also brought Young Master Dou along. Looks like the rumors are true. Second Master Duan and the Dou family really have a deep relationship. However, if that’s the case, I’m afraid you won’t be able to have any ideas about this provision store.”

“It’s all your fault. You can’t even handle an old man.”

The woman was furious. If it weren’t for the fact that there were people around, she would have jumped up and scolded him.

Shao Qingyuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the person the woman was talking about was not Second Master Duan.

He glanced at the middle-aged man and looked into the provision store before the other party turned around.

At this moment, Second Master Duan was nitpicking. “I’ve already said that this grocery store is a scam. Just because it’s the only grocery store in this area that has everything, it sells especially expensive things. The neighbors nearby have long suffered.”

Yu Jin sneered. “Second Master Duan, don’t lie through your teeth. The things in our provision store have always been priced fairly. How are they expensive? Besides, if our shop was a scam, the government would have sent people to close it long ago. Why would they allow us to open it for so long?”

Second Master Duan chuckled. “Who doesn’t know that you have dealings with Wu Tongfeng, the imperial court’s criminal? Previously, Wu Tongfeng was a secondary general. With his support, who would dare to close your shop? Now that Wu Tongfeng has fallen, I think your days of tyranny are over.”

This Wu Tongfeng was the secondary general that General Dou had personally pulled down. Now, he was locked in the prison and waiting for the Imperial Court to deal with him.

At this juncture, anyone who had anything to do with him would be finished.

Uncle Yu was so angry that his body was trembling. “Nonsense, nonsense. Young Master Dou, you have to be clear-sighted. We have nothing to do with Wu Tongfeng at all. He only came to the shop to buy things twice. Could it be that everyone in the prefecture capital who has done his business is related to him?”

Second Master Duan said, “What do you mean by coming to your shop to buy things twice? Wu Tongfeng has servants and maidservants in his family. Why does he need to personally come to the grocery store to buy things? Who would believe this?”

“You…” Uncle Yu and Boss Zhang were also furious.

However, how could they know what Wu Tongfeng was thinking? How could they guess why he would come personally to buy things?

Second Master Duan hurriedly turned around and said proudly, “Young Master Dou, you heard it. They can’t find any evidence to prove that they have nothing to do with the imperial court’s criminal.”

“Young Master Dou, we’re innocent.” The three members of the Yu Family hurriedly shouted out their grievances.

The surrounding commoners outside the door were all whispering. The shopkeepers and workers in the nearby shops were already familiar with the Yu family. They knew that they were honest and dutiful, so they naturally believed him.
