After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Jiang Hui turned around, his eyes swept across the faces of the three people on the ground with contempt, and said to Manager Chen beside him: "Go and get one thousand taels of silver to send to the second son of the Bai family, and tell him that this prince has bought Zaozhuang."

"Yes, yes, little one, go right here."

Manager Chen responded obediently and immediately turned around and walked back.

He knew Jiang Hui's temper best. If he went against him, he would be a furious lion, but if he went along with him, he would be a docile cat.

The Marquis of Yong'an had only one son when he was middle-aged, so he had to take care of everything. Besides, there was also the Crown Prince. If something went wrong, the Crown Prince would come forward, and the Marquis of Yongning would not dare to deny him face.

Bai Yanlang looked at the 1,000 taels of silver sent by Manager Chen and was confused. "What does Manager Chen mean by this?"

"Master Bai, this is the situation."

Manager Chen sat down with Bai Yanlang at his head, and said with a smile: "My son went to the outskirts of the city yesterday to play, and saw a manor that he liked very much. He asked someone to inquire about it, and then he found out that it was the manor under your name."

He pushed the banknote forward and said, "Look, I'm here to deliver some money to Lord Bai as ordered."

Bai Yanlang lowered his eyes and stared at the stack of banknotes on the table, frowning, "What Zhuangzi?"

"It's Zaozhuang on the outskirts of the city."

"Zaozhuang?"

Bai Yanlang looked a little unhappy.

This farm was originally taken away by that troublemaker, but at least the benefits did not flow into the hands of outsiders.

Later, the third son borrowed money at high interest, and Aunt Qiao asked Mrs. Liu to steal the land deed. He didn't notice and gave it to the debt collector.

If he knew, he would definitely exchange it secretly.

He pushed the banknotes in his hand back and said, "Manager Chen is wrong. I mortgaged Zaozhuang last year. I am not the current owner of the manor."

"Not you?" Manager Chen was slightly stunned, and asked quickly: "Then who did you pawn the manor to?"

Bai Yanlang glanced at the several hundred-tael silver bills on the table. Thinking of the ten thousand taels of silver that were cheated out of the Must-Win Gambling House, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Zaozhuang has more than a few hundred taels of silver, and the prince of Yong'an is obviously trying to force a sale.

He smiled and said, "Last year, my son was cheated, so I mortgaged the farm to the Biying Casino. If Prince Jiang wants the farm, he can go find the owner of the Biying Casino."

"In that case, I won't bother you any more."

Manager Chen picked up the banknotes on the table and stuffed them into his sleeve. After bowing to Bai Yanlang, he quickly walked out to the Biying Casino.

Everyone in the capital is familiar with the manager of the gambling house.

The manager of the Biying Casino looked at Manager Chen in surprise. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to greet Manager Chen, "What brings you here, Manager Chen? Come in, please."

Manager Chen straightened his back, raised his chin slightly, and followed the manager of the Must-Win Casino to the second floor.

As he walked, he said, "I came here today to discuss a business deal with your boss."

"Haha, what kind of business is it that requires you, Manager Chen, to come in person?"

The manager of the Must Win Casino ordered his men to make tea, and then gave a look to his men beside him.

The man understood and immediately went downstairs and ran out through the corner door of the backyard.

Manager Chen looked around and looked at the few gamblers in the gambling house with obvious disdain in his eyes.

"With just a few of you, your gambling house is going to close down, right?"

The manager of the Biying Casino just smiled at his provocative words. He picked up the tea served by the maid and placed it in front of him, saying with a smile, "Our boss said that the casino is a place that hurts people, and he has long since given up on opening it."

Manager Chen was very surprised when he heard this, "This gambling house has a golden Pixiu, and your master is willing to give it up?"

"Eat as much as you want, wear 28-cent clothes, gamble half, and whore for nothing."

The manager of the Must Win Casino looked like a Maitreya. He had a round belly and laughed heartily, "There are thousands of ways to make money in this world, and this one is no different."

"That's true."

One less gambling house means one less rival. Manager Chen's mouth curved wider and he nodded as if in agreement.

Jiang Tingxiao had been idle recently, and when he heard someone report that the manager surnamed Chen under the Marquis of Yong'an had come to his gambling house to look for him, he smiled and came over.

"Manager Chen, what do you want from me?"

"Prince Jiang."

When Manager Chen saw Jiang Tingxiao in white brocade clothes with cloud patterns, he stood up and bowed.

Jiang Tingxiao walked to the seat vacated by the Betwin Casino and sat down. He crossed his legs lazily and glanced at him. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

A small manager came to visit, and there was no need for him to come in person, but he was very bored and wanted to find something to kill time.

"It's like this. Our prince went to the outskirts of Beijing for a trip today and fell in love with a manor. When he arrived at the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, he found out that the manor had already been owned by you."

Manager Chen sat down, his expression still arrogant, "I came here today on the orders of our prince, to buy the manor from you."

Go ahead and say it. He took out eight silver bills with a face value of one hundred taels from his sleeve and placed them on the table.

"Marquis Yongning's Mansion?"

Manager Chen thought he could not remember it, so he reminded him, "It is the manor you got from Master Bai Er of Yongning Marquis's Mansion. It is called Zao Manor."

Jiang Tingxiao lowered his eyes and glanced at the banknotes on the table, remembering the incident last year when the third son of the Bai family borrowed money at interest.

If he remembered correctly, the manor was in a good location and had a large area. It was an excellent manor and its value was far more than a few hundred taels.

Are you trying to use your power to force a sale?

Jiang Tingxiao raised his eyebrows, and immediately a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Manager Chen is mistaken. This manor is not under my name."

"Not you?"

Manager Chen frowned and said unhappily, "Second Master Bai clearly said that this farm is mortgaged to you. Are you saying this deliberately because you don't want to sell it?"

"It's just a farm. This prince doesn't care about it. But this farm is in the hands of the fourth daughter of the Bai family. If you don't believe it, you can go to the government office to check the records."

Jiang Tingxiao picked up the tea served by the maid and drank it elegantly with a relaxed look. He was looking forward to the confrontation between the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to see if they could still be as arrogant as they are now.

Manager Chen was skeptical. After saying goodbye, he immediately went to the household registration office of Jingzhao Prefecture and asked someone to check the title deed of Zaozhuang.

Indeed, the owner of the land deed in Zaozhuang is now Bai Youyou.

"Oh no, this matter might get out of hand!"

Manager Chen closed the booklet and handed it to the person in charge of household affairs, then hurriedly ran towards the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

He had to buy the manor before the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion found out, otherwise if things got out of hand, it would be difficult to resolve.

In Fangfei Garden, Bai Youyou, Lu Chen, and Qi Lian were sitting in Lu's yard, eating lotus seed soup made by Lu.

Xiaoju ran in quickly, followed by Xiaoqing.

"Miss Fourth, please go to Zaozhuang quickly. Something happened in Zaozhuang!"

"What happened?"

Bai Youyou was about to ask when Lu asked in a hurried voice, and stood up from the chair like a spring.
