Episode 25

Jiang Changyang warned Mudan that once Liu Shen found out that she, a merchant, was secretly following him, he might be cruel to her.Mudan wondered how Jiang Changyang knew about this. Jiang Changyang revealed that Chuanyu encountered someone she hired to follow Liu Shen in the black market.Jiang Changyang did not want Mudan to stay out of it, but hoped that she could assess the situation.The matter of old rice being mixed into the rice in the West Market was obviously not something Liu Shen could do alone, and there must be a larger force behind it.The enemy she faces is far more complex than imagined.After listening to Jiang Changyang's analysis, Mudan suddenly realized that Jiang Changyang also wanted to bring down the forces behind Liu Shen, so she couldn't just sit idly by.The two hit it off and decided to join forces, with Jiang Changyang in charge of the officialdom and Mudan in charge of the people.

Jiang Changyang hosted a banquet for officials from the Jingzhao Mansion and let them taste the moldy corn from the West Market Mi Mai Shop.As expected, everyone had diarrhea.Jiang Changyang took this opportunity to ask Jingzhao Mansion to investigate the matter and give everyone an explanation.At the same time, Peony is also actively taking action among the people.She directed a good show and called on the people to go to Jingzhao Mansion to complain.In order to make the matter worse, she also recycled the fragrant powder made from low-quality corn, and invited people to come to Huamanzhu store for free medical consultation and buy gastrointestinal medicine at cost price.This move won widespread praise and support from the people.

However, Jingzhao Mansion turned a deaf ear to the people who came to complain and turned them away.But Mudan was already prepared. She wanted to arouse the anger of the people and wait for the time to bring those criminals to justice in one fell swoop.Mudan continued to appeal to the people on the streets to seek justice from the government. Lu Xingtou also responded actively and took out the moldy rice he bought to publicly support Mudan.As more and more people join in, the momentum becomes stronger.Jingzhao Mansion sent people to intimidate the people, but to no avail, they ordered people to snatch corn in the streets.Mudan refused to give in, beat the drum and argued hard to ask the saint to come forward to make a ruling.

This matter soon reached the ears of the Holy Sage, who asked about it.Liu Shen and other officials tried every means to cover up the matter, but Jiang Changyang understated the matter in order not to alert the snake.The imperial censor believed that public dissatisfaction should not be underestimated and should be investigated thoroughly.Jiang Changyang took the opportunity to propose to His Majesty that Princess Liu should be tried in the case and that the Imperial Censor should assist him, and His Majesty accepted his suggestion.Jiang Changyang deliberately left some time for Liu Shen to give him the opportunity to transfer the evidence of moldy corn so that Chuan Yu and Mu Dan could catch him in one fell swoop.As expected, Liu Shen hurriedly exchanged the moldy rice for good rice, but was caught by Chuan Yu on the spot during the transportation.

Liu Shen and his servants became the target of public criticism, and everyone shouted for beatings.Liu Shen fled in a hurry, but was hit in the leg by Mu Dan with a slingshot. He fell into the water and called for help, but was eventually captured by the imperial censor.Liu Shen confessed, and the Chen family was implicated.But King Ning sat back and did nothing, and Liu Shen had no choice but to bite others randomly.Scandals such as corrupt officials and bribery were exposed one by one, and the dissatisfaction of the entire family with King Ning was increasing day by day. It would be difficult for King Ning to win them over again.Liu Chang was told that Liu Shen's life could be saved only by re-engaging with the county lord. At his mother's plea, he was forced to propose to Li Youzhen.Li Youzhen threatened to die and refused to marry Liu Chang, so King Ning had no choice but to agree.

Liu Shen was beaten in public, but as long as Liu Chang was the son-in-law of King Ning, Liu Shen might escape the punishment of exile.However, Zhu Fu's words also have some truth to them. You should always look for the best in everything.It happened that Fang Yuan was about to change its owner, so Huan Huan happily went with Zhu Fu to inquire about the transfer price of Fang Yuan.
