Traveling through ancient times.

Jiang Yizhou sorted out the cause and effect: Ning Jianren was unable to bribe the manager of the pottery shop, so he wanted to use the land deed to put pressure on him.

No, it should be to obtain the ownership of the shop and the farm, and then directly eliminate the other party.

Unfortunately, the original owner at that time was unaware of the situation and gave the only deed to the farm he had to the other party.

Retracting his thoughts, Jiang Yizhou snorted in his heart: And now, huh.

She wanted to keep the farm and the two pottery shops in her hands and manage them well.

Because this might very well be the basis for Jiang Yizhou's turnaround!

Ning Jianren and Qi Hao were driven out with gloomy faces.

Qi Hao asked, "Master, why is this Steward Tao so difficult to deal with? The conditions you offered him are obviously better than the current ones."

Ning Jianren snorted coldly, "It is said that the man surnamed Tao was a refugee from another place and was taken in by the old man. Because he had a good skill in making pottery, and one of the farms happened to have clay suitable for making pottery, so he kept them on the farm. Then there were these two shops. But the pottery is just so-so, barely enough to cover the expenses of the farm's employees. It's good enough to make more than ten taels of silver a year."

"I have long suggested that the old man should simply close the pottery shop, or just keep one. If the farm is turned into a brick kiln, the profit will definitely be more than it is now. But he just disagreed, saying that now not only the Tao family relies on the farm for their livelihood, but also many of the employees, and each of these employees has a large family behind them, so it cannot be closed. Nor can it be restructured..."

Qi Hao: "What should we do now? He just said that he only recognizes people from the Jiang family..."

Ning Jianren: "Hmph, the Jiang family. Fuck the Jiang family. I've been working like a slave for them all these years, and trying to please them by being humble. When those two old guys were around, they treated me like a thief, but now..." She's just an ugly woman who looks like a soft pustule.

If I hadn't cared about my reputation, I would have killed her long ago.

Qi Hao: "By the way, when we went out this morning, Uncle Jiang came to you and said he had something to discuss with you."

Ning Jianren paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

He snorted coldly, "Oh, he came to me for that matter. The old man was wary of me before, so I brought in Jiang Er and Jiang San to get him to give up his power. Now he is threatening me instead."

He was very disdainful of Uncle Jiang's behavior, but as he spoke, he seemed to think of something.

He turned around and told Qi Hao: "Well, go tell them that Jiang Zijun can come in, but he must get the nod from that pus-filled woman."

"clear."

Ning Jianren thought about what the woman said last night about her poor health and inability to take care of him and Yian. He wondered if she was really agreeing or was just testing him.

In that case, he would just play along and give her a try and see what happens.

Moreover, this incident was just the right way to stimulate him, so it would be much easier for him to bring up the issue of Zhuangzi's land deed in a few days.

As he thought about it, Ning Jianren felt something inexplicably uneasy in his mind.

The scene of the other party rejecting him last night involuntarily emerged in his mind - no matter how weak he acted, the fact was that he did not take the initiative to give him the slaves' indentures.

Well, it seems that I have to speed up, concentrate the funds, and then take over the land before those people notice that place.

... Jiang Yizhou waited for a while after Ning Jianren and his servant left before he came out of the alley and walked towards Jiang's pottery.

Tao Junshan is now in his sixties and usually lives in a small courtyard behind this shop. The other shop is looked after by his son.

"Uncle Tao, what made you so angry?"

Jiang Yizhou searched for a few scattered scenes in his memory. Tao Junshan once went to Jiang’s house to see Master Jiang, so the original owner had seen it.

She imitated the original owner's tone and made an opening remark. The old man's skinny body shook and he suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Yizhou.

The surprise and excitement in his eyes instantly turned into confusion, "Who is this...?"

Jiang Yizhou smiled and said to another waiter in the store, "Brother Tao, give me some water."

Not only Tao Junshan was stunned, the middle-aged man was also shocked. He looked at Jiang Yizhou and then at his father.

Tao Junshan stared at Jiang Yizhou and asked, "What does this sister-in-law mean?"

Jiang Yizhou looked at the other person and smiled faintly without saying anything.

After a while, Tao Er brought clean water in a coarse earthenware bowl.

Jiang Yizhou wet a piece of his clothes and wiped the stuff off his face in front of everyone.

The original owner was dark, yellow and thin due to physical reasons, but even without the small details she applied, one can still see some of Master Jiang's shadow.

"Little, miss..."

Tao Junshan suddenly shouted excitedly.

Ever since the master and mistress left, they couldn't even go to the house to report the shop situation to the young lady, because the servants guarding the gate wouldn't let them in.

I think the son-in-law wants to seize power and property.

In fact, he had seen this kind of drama many times before, commonly known as eating up the entire family.

But I didn't expect that Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, who had been kind to others all their lives and had carefully chosen the right person, still ended up letting a wolf into the house.

He wiped his tears excitedly, "Miss, you are finally here. I really can't hold on any longer..."

Tao Er brought stools and several people sat down.

Jiang Yizhou: "I have been ill these days, so it is indeed inconvenient for me to come out. But you can rest assured that no one can take away the Taozhuang or the shop from us. By the way, I just looked outside for a while, and the business here seems to be slow?"

Tao Junshan: "Business was actually OK in the past, but I don't know why fewer and fewer people came here in the past few months. Some people even returned goods and destroyed the place. I reported it to the authorities and they stopped. I guess someone was deliberately doing something bad. But since then, fewer and fewer people have come here. It's all because of me who didn't manage the shop well..."

When Jiang Yizhou heard this, it went without saying that it must have been Ning Jianren who did it.

Fortunately, Tao Junshan was also a patient man and reported the case to the police. If they really investigated the case, they would definitely find him out. He had to protect his reputation, so he kept quiet.

Jiang Yizhou reassured them that she would never give up Zhuangzi and He's shop.

Now Ning Jianren has changed the names of other shops, but these two pottery shops were not changed because they were connected to He Zhuangzi.

Next, she will definitely take back everything that belongs to the Jiang family one by one.

But for now, she asked the Tao family father and son to temporarily stabilize Ning Jianren and not to reveal that she had come to see them.

The father and son looked at each other and understood everything at once, and began to worry about Jiang Yizhou's situation.

That person had been hiding in the Jiang family for several years, fearing that the other party would tear their faces apart and use force directly. Wouldn't it be dangerous for the young lady to stay in that house alone?

Jiang Yizhou gave the two of them a reassurance, proving that she, the real owner of the Jiang family, was still there and had not given up on the manor or the shop.

Then he comforted the two of them, did nothing else, and left.
