Chapter 805 Jiang Mushi was thrown into prison
"Butler Wu, you are joking. How could I possibly doubt the Su Palace? It's just the rules to inspect the goods."
Jiang Mushi had a smile on his face, and no one could find any fault with him. He paused for a moment, his eyes fell on the goods, and continued.
"As for inspecting the goods here, it is just to check them clearly before they enter the palace. If there are any problems, they can be dealt with in time, so as to save the trouble of the palace later."
"You've thought it through very carefully." Butler Wu spoke in a sarcastic tone, glanced at Jiang Mushi again, and waved to the servants behind him. Immediately, someone came forward to dismantle the goods and check them.
Seeing the servants' impatient looks, Jiang Mushi frowned slightly, feeling that they seemed to have been prepared from the very beginning.
But on second thought, the silk was carefully monitored at every stage from its rush production to its storage in the warehouse and then shipped out today, so there would definitely not be any problems, so he felt relieved.
As each piece of silk was unloaded and unfolded, the brocade shone brightly and the patterns woven on it came alive, and it was obvious at first glance that it was of the highest quality.
Butler Wu nodded in satisfaction, "I've heard that the silks made by Jiang's Cloth Shop are first-rate, and today I see that they are indeed extraordinary."
"Butler Wu, you are too kind. If there is no problem with the silk, then this business..."
"Why is Young Master Jiang in such a hurry?" Butler Wu interrupted Jiang Mushi. "Since we are going to investigate, we must check everything and not let anything slip through."
After that, he instructed the servants, "You must check it carefully. Don't let anything go wrong. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to the prince."
"Yes." The servants said loudly.
The action of spreading out the silk became faster and faster.
Jiang Mushi frowned, "Butler Wu, these silks are fine products. Although they are of high quality, you should be careful when checking them. It would be a pity if they were scratched."
"Mr. Jiang is right." Butler Wu responded, but did not tell the servants to be careful. His eyes were fixed on the silks.
Jiang Mushi frowned, and once again felt something was wrong.
And then, a scream attracted everyone's attention.
"What kind of flower is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
The next voice attracted everyone's attention to the silk spread out in the servant's hands.
When Jiang Mushi saw the pattern clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
Butler Wu stepped forward quickly, "This, this is Qianxiang Flower!"
Because of the commotion at the gate of Prince Su's Mansion, some people had gathered to watch the fun.
Although most people did not recognize the pattern on the brocade, many people changed their expressions when the name Qianxianghua came out.
"Thousand Fragrance Flowers? Isn't that a forbidden flower?"
"Yes, that flower had already become a banned flower during the time of the previous emperor. I heard that all the flowers were eradicated, and no one was allowed to plant it privately. It was also not allowed to be embroidered on clothes."
"Why is it banned? This flower looks pretty?" an uninformed person asked curiously.
The people around him shushed him immediately. "Keep your voice down. I heard that this flower is poisonous and can cause hallucinations. The late emperor's mother was killed by this flower, so the late emperor hated this flower and listed it as a banned flower after he ascended the throne."
"Mr. Jiang, your Jiang family is so bold that you actually dare to weave banned flowers and plants on silk, and even send them to our Prince Su's Palace. Are you blatantly trying to defy the royal law?" Butler Wu glared at Jiang Mushi and questioned loudly.
"This is absolutely impossible. There is no way there could be any prohibited flowers or plants in our Jiang family's silk!" Jiang Mushi spoke immediately.
The Jiang family has been in the silk business for so many years, and they have always been very sensitive and careful about those prohibited floral patterns. Before he participated in the family business, his father had carefully warned him about it.
Everyone in the Jiang family knew what absolutely could not appear on silk, and there had never been any mistakes over the years.
"Master Jiang, you personally delivered this silk, and you found the Thousand Fragrance Flowers in public. Are you trying to deny it?"
"There is something wrong with this matter, I..."
"You delivered the things, and they haven't even entered the Prince Su's Mansion yet. It's definitely not someone from the Prince Su's Mansion who framed you."
Butler Wu interrupted Jiang Mushi and sneered.
"As for what went wrong during this process, was it someone who tampered with it, or was it your Jiang family who disrespected the late emperor and disregarded the laws of the court? You have no choice but to go to the government office and explain this clearly!"
"Young Master!" The delivery guy who came with him was startled and looked at Jiang Mushi hurriedly.
This matter actually has to be brought to the government office?
"Butler Wu, our Jiang family will never do anything against the law. I hope you can give us some time to find out what is going on." Jiang Mushi spoke immediately.
However, Butler Wu shook his head decisively.
"Master Jiang, it's not that we want to make a big deal out of this, but these prohibited flowers and plants are no small matter. If we conceal it and don't report it, once the news spreads, our Su Palace will also be held responsible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Wu waved his hand and immediately arranged for a servant to go to the yamen to report the news.
Since it involved prohibited flowers and plants, and the case was reported personally by someone from Prince Su's Mansion, the government quickly sent people over.
All the silks sent by the Jiang family were confiscated, and Jiang Mushi was thrown into jail.
Fortunately, the guys responsible for delivering the goods were not implicated and were released temporarily, but were ordered not to leave the imperial city during this period.
The guy hurried back to the Jiang family to report the news.
When they heard that prohibited flowers and plants were found in the silk and Jiang Mushi was thrown into jail, Jiang Zhitong and Zheng were suddenly panicked.
"That's impossible. The Jiang family has always been very careful with silk patterns, and there would never be such a mistake."
Moreover, weaving patterns on silk requires a lot of effort and takes a long time. It is definitely not something that can be woven secretly when no one is paying attention.
During this period of time, Mu Shi has been checking the progress. If someone secretly weaves prohibited flowers and plants, they will definitely be discovered.
"Master, Thousand Fragrance Flowers were indeed found in the silk we sent, and we don't know what's going on." The waiter looked panicked.
"Someone must have done something to deliberately frame our Jiang family." Jiang Zhitong's face was as gloomy as water.
Zheng became even more flustered after hearing this. "If someone deliberately framed him, then maybe there is a backup plan. Now Mu Shi has been locked up in prison, nothing will happen to him, right?"
