"Are these few businesses the masterminds?" Ye Muyu naturally didn't believe it, certain that there were other powerful forces behind them targeting intentionally.
Su Mei shook her head: "This servant doesn't know. Lu Chuan didn't say more, only mentioned that the matter was resolved. The shopkeepers of several businesses were called into jail to sign under pressure, were beaten, and fined silver, estimating that the shops couldn't continue."
Ye Muyu nodded to show understanding. The affairs in the court were intricate, and Chu Heng would never let too many people know, so naturally, he wouldn't mention it when passing messages now.
Even though Chu Heng didn't answer in person, Ye Muyu knew that the patron behind Hongyuan Clothing Store was an official of the Ministry of Personnel, and Jinxiu Clothing Store was recently opened by a female shopkeeper, rumored to need new styles of clothing often. It was heard that this female shopkeeper frequently interacted with the Great Prince.
