"Ninth brother, you're here quite early."

Zhou Min entered the private room and asked the guards to guard the door.

After glancing at Jiang Jiu behind Zhao Zhuoxi, Jiang Jiu tactfully left.

Only Zhou Min and Zhao Zhuoxi were left in the room.

She didn't know what they talked about specifically.

Jiang Jiu came to another private room in the teahouse, where Xiao Yimo, Madam Qian and others were.

"How are the storybooks selling in the bookstore?"

Xiao Yimo snapped his fingers and gave Jiang Jiu a thumbs up.

"You're really amazing. No wonder you asked me to start a bookstore when I was in Su City. I didn't know you had this ability."

"This book, 'Revenge of a Heroine,' is selling quite well. What other manuscripts do you have next?"

Jiang Jiu took out a stack of papers from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Xiao Yimo.

"It's a bit more colorful, Three Women Fighting for a Husband. It's been proofread and should be printed out quickly."

Xiao Yimo glanced at the introduction and said, "It looks like a good story. Three daughters of a high-ranking official are fighting for one man. Not bad, not bad."

Nanny Qian was looking at Qinshan's account book. As for the salt industry, the court planned to follow Zhao Zhuoxi's advice and put the money into the national treasury.

But it is not something that can be done overnight. After all, Yiye Pingzhou has a very good reputation. It never shortchanges customers and its prices are fair.

Except for the salt industry in Sucheng, the salt industry in other places is not easy to recycle. The court is trying to find a solution, and Jiang Jiu asked Qin Shan to gradually open up this business without raising or lowering the price.

Therefore, the salt industry is not very profitable.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu's bookstore made a lot of money.

Each generation has its own way of making money.

Jiang Yao studied science and earned money from technical skills, while Jiang Jiu studied liberal arts and earned money from cultural studies.

Things like lyrics, storybooks, and drama scripts can all make money.

With the death of Mrs. Chang, the story of Lord Chang became a hot topic. Even if Jiang Jiu did not mention any names, everyone knew that he was talking about the story of Chang Mingyuan.

However, the truth of the matter is not so.

Rather, Jiang Jiu just wanted everyone to know this and divert public opinion to the point that Mrs. Chang deserved the punishment.

"In this case, the murderer wasn't Madam Chang. Madam Chang was just the knife in their hands. In the book I wrote, there were people who made salt, sugar, and soap, but there was no one who made glass."

Qin Shan closed the account book and sighed heavily.

"The method of making colored glaze is not difficult, but it belongs to the royal family and no one else is allowed to use it. Moreover, our factory and workers have been forcibly taken away by them."

"I heard from my brother that when the old boss was still around, the emperor asked for it several times, but she refused. Unexpectedly, after she passed away and the young master was gone, they took over many of our businesses."

Today in the capital, Yiye Pianzhou's business is reduced to just shops, manors, and fields, all of which are real estate. All production and profitable businesses have been taken over by the Zhou family.

There were even several murders.

Since Jiang Jiu has come to the capital, in addition to avenging her mother, she will definitely snatch away everything that belongs to Jiang Yao.

"The New Year is destined to be turbulent, so everyone should be careful."

After meeting with all the shop owners and before he left, a waiter suddenly rushed in.

As soon as she saw Jiang Jiu, she knelt down in front of her with a plop.

"You must be the young master of Yiye Pingzhou. Please avenge my father."

Jiang Jiu was slightly startled and quickly pulled the man up.

"Who are you? What happened at home? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."

The waiter looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, but when he took off his hat, he looked like a pretty girl.

"Young Master, my name is Shao Yingying. My father used to be the owner of this teahouse. Three years ago, my sister and I were helping him with his accounts in the teahouse. Unexpectedly, we ran into Zhou Shi'an, the youngest son of the emperor's uncle."

Zhou Shi'an is the youngest son of the king's uncle. He is 25 years old this year and is a real playboy.

That day, Shao Yingying and her sister were in a teahouse, helping their father sort out the accounts. When they were leaving, they happened to run into Zhou Shi'an and his friends who were having tea in the teahouse.

I don’t know why, but Zhou Shian fell in love with Shao Yingying’s sister at first sight.

But her sister was already engaged and was about to get married, so Zhou Shi'an insisted on taking her sister back by force.

When she was resisting, the big fierce dog raised by Zhou Shi'an suddenly went crazy and bit her sister. But just when Shao Yingying's father, Shao Zhanggui, raised a stick and beat the fierce dog half to death.

Zhou Shi'an was so angry that he ordered his men to beat Manager Shao to death on the spot.

Shao Yingying's sister was bitten on the face and bleeding. After returning home, she died of rabies while handling the funeral of Manager Shao.

Shao Yingying's mother was already weak, and after two people died in succession, she could not bear it and died after being ill for half a year.

Shao Yingying's originally happy family suddenly disappeared and she became an orphan.

Yiye Pianzhou asked others to replace Manager Shao, and also arranged for Shao Yingying to work in the store, disguised as a man as a waiter, to earn money to support herself.

Shao Yingying wiped away a tear and said, "After my father and sister died, I had no way to sue them. I was beaten and arrested several times by the government. It was all thanks to Uncle Song. He advised me to be patient and wait for the boss to come and ask for help."

"Young Master, I know you are definitely more powerful than us ordinary people. I beg you to help me avenge my father and sister."

Jiang Jiu had just arrived in the capital and was not familiar with the dignitaries and nobles in the capital.

But she had heard of Zhou Shian's name.

The lady Sun on the boat told her about the Zhou family. Zhou Shi'an was the son of the Right Prime Minister in his old age. He was spoiled very much, so he acted arrogantly.

It seems that this is not just arrogant, it is simply lawless.

Jiang Jiu suddenly had an idea and helped Shao Yingying up.

"Do you still have the complaint you filed back then?"

Shao Yingying nodded: "Yes, I have kept it."

Jiang Jiu: "Okay, leave it there for now and let me make the arrangements. We must bring Zhou Shian to justice this time."

Shao Yingying, however, looked worried: "Is the boss going to the government office in the capital to file a complaint? You have to know that the Zhou family is the right prime minister of the dynasty. If you want to file a complaint against him, you must first receive twenty strokes of the cane."

Looking at the woman in front of her, she was even more fragile than her. It took her a whole month to recover. She didn't want anyone to get hurt.

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "How can the Right Prime Minister sue the government? Of course it's an imperial complaint."

Qin Shan also became worried: "Miss, you don't know how powerful Zhou Shi'an is. There are three evils in the capital: the fierce dog in the capital, the lone wolf in the suburbs of the capital, and the third son of the Zhou family.

It is said that the lone wolf in the suburbs of Beijing is a ferocious beast that has appeared in recent years. It always attacks the surrounding Tianjia villages, and the imperial court has been unable to suppress it every time by sending people to encircle and suppress it.

The Beijing Mastiff is the pet of the third son of the Zhou family.

The third son of the Zhou family, Zhou Shi'an, brought his Beijing fierce dog and caused trouble everywhere.

The court, however, was unable to do anything about him because he was Empress Zhou's younger brother and the youngest son of the emperor's uncle.

"Even if you are filing a complaint with the emperor, you must be cautious, young lady."

Jiang Jiu shook his head gently: "The Sixth Prince Ling Wang is in charge of the Dali Temple in the capital, I believe he will definitely take care of it."

Prince Ling dared to suppress Madam Chang's case. Let's give him another case and see what he will do.

When Jiang Jiu returned to Zhao Zhuoxi's private room, the Third Prince's wife Zhou Min was gone.
