However, the next day, just as Lu Chen was starting to make plans to buy the supermarket, something happened at Tongfu Inn.
First, some guests ate bugs from the dishes, and then several guests foamed at the mouth while eating.
This is not even the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that someone drank the wine at Tongfu Inn and drank to death.
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the government.
The newly appointed prefect took it very seriously and immediately announced that Tongfu Inn would be closed down.
After Lu Chen left, Lu Wencai became the innkeeper, so Lu Wencai was taken away for interrogation.
After getting the news, Lu Chen immediately knew that someone was going to mess with him!
But he didn't panic.
Because if this matter doesn't get to the bottom of things, I'm afraid nothing can be done.
Fortunately, Lu Chen is no longer the young boy he was when he first arrived.
He has many capable men under his command.
"Lao Bai, you secretly investigate the diners who had trouble at Tongfu Inn and see if there is someone behind it!"
Lu Chen called for everyone to discuss.
"yes!"
Bai Fengbo took the order and disappeared in a flash.
"Zhiwei, you are familiar with the Yamen. See if you can bribe a few Yamen servants and ask about Lao Lu's situation in the prison."
"yes!"
Xiao Zhiwei nodded and left.
"Lao Zhang, your brother sells steamed buns and knows many people. Go back and ask your brother to inquire secretly to find out what's going on and whether someone wants to deal with us."
"I will handle it!"
Zhang Jinya patted his chest and left.
"Shopkeeper, is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing that everyone had left, Ye Fan couldn't sit still and asked.
Lu Chen didn't spare money when he was making money. Now that he's in trouble, everyone is thinking about how to help.
"Old miracle doctor?"
Lu Chen turned around and saw Ye Fan and Ye Linger sitting behind him.
"It's true!"
Lu Chen thought about it and realized that he had gained the prefect's favor through his medical skills.
If you want to find a new backer, I'm afraid you have to start from this aspect.
"If it's convenient, Mr. Ye can chat more with those patients and ask if any adults have diseases in their families or themselves."
"It's better to have a stubborn disease."
"Many doctors are helpless."
"In this way, we can gain favor after helping him heal."
When Mark heard this, he immediately thought it was a good idea.
"Leave it to me!"
Because of this incident, Tongfu Inn is temporarily closed. So far, the Divine Doctor Pavilion is still operating normally.
Lu Chen was filled with depression and had no plans to open a supermarket.
However, the next day, bad news came.
Some people claim that the herbs in the Divine Medical Pavilion are fake and have even killed several people.
When Lu Chen found out, he hurried over, only to find that the persons in charge of several divine medical pavilions had been taken away for questioning.
If it weren't for the old miracle doctor Ye Fan's physical condition, he might have been taken away as well.
"Damn it!"
"Who is it?"
Lu Chen slapped the table angrily, his face full of ferocity.
This journey has been so smooth.
He actually forgot that there are many shameless people with ulterior motives in this world.
In Jinchuan City, there was a county magistrate named Zhao Chunsheng as his backer.
No one dares to offend him no matter what he does.
But it's different in the Golden State.
There is no one to rely on except Mr. Yan who has left.
It is too difficult to make gold in this unfamiliar place.
"Shopkeeper, I found it!"
Just when Lu Chen was at his wits' end.
A hearty laugh came from outside the door.
"come on in!"
Seeing that the person coming was Bai Fengbo, Lu Chen quickly let him into the house.
Then close the doors and windows.
"How about it?"
Bai Fengbo was not polite. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it with a slurp.
"You guessed it right!"
"This is because someone is behind this!"
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and suddenly became angry.
Sure enough, someone was messing with him behind his back.
But what he didn't understand was that he had only been in Jinzhou City for a short time and had never made any enemies with anyone. How could he be targeted for revenge?
"Shopkeeper, please don't think wrongly."
"Just because you don't offend others doesn't mean you won't offend them."
Bai Fengbo seemed to notice Lu Chen's doubts and reminded him.
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Chen was puzzled.
"Let's just talk about our Tongfu Inn. Do you know how many people's business you have stolen?"
"In the entire Jinzhou City, more than 80% or even 90% of the inns are unused."
"Guess where all their guests went?"
When Bai Fengbo explained this, Lu Chen understood instantly.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
Their own Tongfu Inn has taken away 90% of the business of the entire inn in Jinzhou City. How can they not hate themselves?
"This isn't right either!"
"Our Tongfu Inn has been open for such a long time. They want to take revenge. Isn't it long overdue?"
Bai Fengbo shook his head: "No, no!"
"They didn't know your details before, and since it was just a restaurant and other industries were not affected, not many people cared."
"But since the opening of your Miracle Medical Pavilion, it has become increasingly difficult to do business in the pharmaceutical industry."
"Many pharmacies are opened by relatives of some dignitaries. If their business is affected, they will definitely cause trouble for you."
"The most important thing is that your supermarket plan has been exposed."
Lu Chen was surprised: "What do you mean?"
Bai Fengbo said fiercely: "According to the information I found, someone among us leaked your supermarket plan."
"That's why the merchants and officials who were originally holding grudges got the news and joined forces with the shopkeepers who were not doing well to deal with you."
Lu Chen suddenly became furious.
"damn it!"
"Who is it?"
"I don't know about that."
Bai Fengbo spread his hands.
"Can we collect the evidence that those people framed our restaurant?"
Lu Chen forced down the anger in his heart and asked.
"It's possible, but we don't have witnesses. The people standing behind those shop owners are officials. We can't move it at all!"
This is what Bai Fengbo is worried about.
"Don't worry about this, I have a way."
Lu Chen waved his hand: "It's best to have the evidence and witnesses in your hands. Just tell me how much money you need."
Bai Fengbo nodded.
This kind of thing is not difficult for him.
"The shopkeeper's!"
At this time, Xiao Zhiwei's voice came from outside the door.
Lu Chen opened the door and found Zhang Jinya with her.
"How are you doing?"
"Did you find out anything?"
Lu Chen asked.
"Um!"
"Mr. Lu did not suffer much in prison, but because of the great implication of this matter, he was temporarily detained pending trial."
"On my way back, I met Brother Zhang. The two of us reviewed the information we obtained and found basically the same information."
"oh?"
"tell me the story."
Knowing that someone was targeting him, Lu Chen was relieved.
"I heard that the shopkeeper of Jinlaifu Inn took the lead and teamed up with the shopkeeper of Tongjia Drug Store to take advantage of the authority of his cousin, the chief arrester of the Jinzhou City Yamen."
"We recruited a group of affected traders and paid money to hire people to create perjury to ruin our business."
Xiao Zhiwei said angrily.
"These guys are so inhuman."
