Junior sister took first place again

In the Chaoge Chamber of Commerce in the Great Xia Imperial City, it wasn't a particularly significant occasion, yet the room was packed. A closer look revealed that all present were influential figures within the Chamber of Commerce.

Like the Chang family of Zhongyuan and the Tu family of Jeju, they are all well-known wealthy businessmen.

Except for salt and iron and other businesses that can only be run by the government, all other businesses have been monopolized by the people present. Any one of them has the power to turn the tide and can easily influence the economy of a place.

However, these people are now sitting in the lower positions.

Ning Jiasheng sat upright at the top, listening attentively to the latest news reported from below.

"...The Ning Kingdom's general led his troops in rebellion last night. The Ning Emperor engaged Ji Yuan in battle in front of Penglai Pavilion, and Long Yu died. The Ning Kingdom's fourth prince led his army to rescue the emperor, but they arrived late. One of his men killed Ji Yuan with a single blow, and then wielded his sword to slaughter the enemy, moving unimpeded amidst the vast army. Ji Yuan's rebels were defeated, and everyone was terrified."

"Then the Fourth Prince's faction went to Penglai Pavilion and pleaded with Ning Yuan to ascend the throne to stabilize the situation in Ning State. After three requests and three declines, the Fourth Prince finally 'reluctantly' agreed."

After the news was reported, the already serious atmosphere in the hall became even more solemn, like a mountain pressing down on everyone's heart, making it hard to breathe.

Everyone looked at each other, then turned their gaze to Ning Jiasheng, who was sitting at the top. The head of the Chang family, who was sitting to the left of Ning Jiasheng, bowed and said:

"Master, there is civil unrest in Ning State. Ning Yuan will surely be busy with the late emperor's funeral and the coronation of the emperor, and will have no time to take care of the outside world. This is a godsend opportunity for us to start a rebellion."

The others looked at Ning Jiasheng intently, waiting for her decision.

Ning Jiasheng pondered for a moment, then stood up and said slowly, "Strike a market."

Everyone's eyes suddenly became brighter and their breathing became heavier. They stood up and saluted, then quickly retreated and began to act.

There was excitement in everyone's eyes, as if they were about to do a big business that was sure to make money, rather than a dangerous thing that could cause civil unrest, property confiscation and family extermination if they were not careful.

After Ning Jiasheng finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to the crowd. She walked away directly, told others to prepare for action, and then disappeared into the crowd alone to do her own thing.

Ever since Ning Jiasheng released the fireworks that could only be recognized by a certain group of people, talented people from all over the world quickly gathered to where Ning Jiasheng was, like iron filings attracted to a magnet.

Among them are wise men, brave men, doctors, merchants, dignitaries, craftsmen, and so on, each possessing outstanding talents in their respective fields. And these are the greatest trump cards of the legendary military token.

On the streets of the Great Xia Imperial City, the once bustling and bustling markets have disappeared without a trace, and the shops that provide rice, oil, grain, and salt, which are essential for the people, have all closed down. Even the teahouses, restaurants, and even brothels that were once crowded with guests are no exception.

The people stood on the streets in panic, and when they heard that there were still rice and grain shops open, they rushed over to buy them like hungry wolves.

The price of a pound of rice has soared to five taels of silver and is still rising. The prices of other daily necessities are also soaring.

At this time, only an hour after the group of merchants took action, the Great Xia Imperial City was already in complete chaos.

But since this place is under the feet of the emperor, it is the place where the Emperor of Daxia has the strongest control.

Therefore, although Ning Jiasheng's people infiltrated the Great Xia court and controlled key information for a short period of time, the sudden strike of the market led to chaos in the city.

But the emperor in the deep palace quickly reacted, and the Emperor of Daxia immediately calmly ordered the army to suppress the rebellion by force.

In the face of absolute force, this unrest will inevitably be quelled quickly.

However, this is based on the premise that the order of the Emperor of Daxia can be successfully issued.

"Someone come! General Xuan Zhou." No one responded outside the hall for a long time.

The emperor and his trusted eunuchs who were serving beside him were startled. The eunuch shouted, "Come here! Protect the emperor! There's an assassin!"

There was still no movement outside the palace. The emperor narrowed his eyes and slowly walked towards the door. The eunuch followed him closely, carefully holding the whisk in front of the emperor, ready to rush forward and protect him with his body.

Ning Jiasheng subdued all the shadow guards around the Emperor of Daxia, and then before the door opened, he picked up the leader and walked in and threw him in front of the emperor.

The eunuch inside immediately blocked the emperor and was about to shout for help when Ning Jiasheng casually pulled out a pearl and knocked him unconscious to the ground.

"Your Majesty, nice to meet you!" Ning Jiasheng held up the sword and bowed to the Emperor of Daxia with a smile.
