Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

The appearance of Yiye Pingzhou's ring shocked the business community in Suzhou.

Someone has already sent out assassins, but it's unclear whether they are trying to steal the ring or kill people.

Hua Manlou was in chaos for only a short while, and as soon as the assassins left, peace and prosperity returned to normal.

The girls were given all the bags by the guests who came.

But the guests on the second floor had mixed emotions.

When Prefect Xing heard the news, he looked on like he was watching a show: "The owner of the small boat has appeared? This is going to be a good show."

Jiang Bosong, the head of the Jiang family, was also shocked: "Yiye Pianzhou's ring has been found, and it's on Miss Chuyu's hand? Does that mean she is Yiye Pianzhou's future master? But she is a singer and doesn't look like she would be good at business. Yiye Pianzhou is in danger."

"This is good. As long as they have an internal conflict, we can seize the operating period of Yiye Pianzhou in no time."

Cheng Jiarui watched Chu Yu being assassinated and was in a state of chaos.

"Quick, go find out who is plotting against her. Is the purpose of the assassination to steal the ring or to kill her..."

The friend advised: "Boss, even if she has the ring, it doesn't mean she will be the future heir. Don't forget, there is also the password."

Cheng Jiarui sighed, "Yes, the ring and the password, when combined, can confirm her identity. But before that, I can't let her die, otherwise, the master's child will never be found again."

The friend added, "As long as the shopkeeper gets the ring, you'll have the final say on who will be the heir..."

Cheng Jiarui was silent for a long time...

He muttered to himself, "Who is the one who stole the ring?"

I have to say that Xiao Yimo's one hundred taels of silver was really worth it.

Cangjiu's number one killer not only captured the person who assassinated Chu Yu, but also sent him to Jiang Jiu.

Xiao Yimo took a closer look. He was wearing green clothes, was short in stature, and had an ordinary appearance. It was indeed the person Chu Yu saw.

He kicked the man over and put the sword to his neck: "Tell me, who sent you here, and what is your purpose?"

The assassin was also a coward and confessed immediately.

"Yes, it's Wu Yuan, the second in command of Yiye Pianzhou. He sent me to kill the girl with the ring."

Xiao Yimo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Jiu: "Just kill him directly? Isn't he worried that the girl might not be Yiye Pianzhou's master?"

The assassin confessed truthfully, "Shopkeeper Wu said he had found the previous owner's daughter a long time ago and had raised her in seclusion. There was absolutely no way she was a prostitute who would tarnish the reputation of Yiye Pianzhou."

This time it was Jiang Jiu's turn to be confused.

"He has found it? Then why didn't he tell everyone earlier? Is it because there is no ring?"

The assassin nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because I haven't found the ring that I dare not speak out."

At this moment, Nichang came in from outside and reported: "The ring that the young lady left there is really missing?"

Jiang Jiu asked: "Do you know who stole it? Did you send anyone to track it down?"

Nishang: "They've already caught up with us..."

Less than half an hour later, the people who had been tracking them came back to report.

It’s still Wu Yuan.

However, when he got the ring, he knew it was fake.

Jiang Jiu rubbed the ring in her hand. In order to fish, she had someone make a fake one and placed it on Chu Yu's dressing table.

Assassination, theft, the other party made a feint to the east and attacked in the west.

Wu Yuan also claimed to have found the daughter of Yiye Pianzhou's former master.

"Manager Wu is playing big games by holding the emperor hostage and ordering the princes around..." Jiang Jiu rubbed his eyebrows.

Xiao Yimo advised: "Don't worry about it. Yiye Pianzhou has been without its master for so many years, and it's normal for these shopkeepers to be dissatisfied with each other."

Lu Yunyang, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyes slightly.

"Indeed, none of these shopkeepers are willing to give in to the other. What are you going to do next?"

Jiang Jiu played with the ring in her hand for a long time, and suddenly, she threw it hard to the ground.

The ring was broken into three or four pieces.

This time, not only Xiao Yimo was shocked, but Lu Yunyang was also shocked.

"What are you doing? Why did you smash something so important?"

Xiao Yimo also quickly took out his handkerchief and picked up the broken ring bit by bit.

He looked at Jiang Jiu in confusion.

"If it's smashed, Yiye Pingzhou will cease to exist. Its existence was a mistake in the first place. Monopoly creates a business hegemon, but it doesn't benefit the people at all. It's just a means for the upper class to make money."

Jiang Jiu was extremely calm and decisive at this time.

Lu Yunyang was extremely anxious. He was still hoping that Jiang Jiu would snatch the small boat back and use it as his money bag.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu said, I don’t want a small boat anymore.

His money was gone right before his eyes.

"Then how do you make money?"

Jiang Jiu pointed to his head and said, "Business is all about fair competition. The role of merchants in society is not to make a lot of money, but to provide convenience to the people."

"I want to restore the original role of merchants, so that the people can benefit, and the money will naturally come."

Lu Yunyang still didn't understand.

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

"This is the production method I wrote for the several industries that Yiye Pingzhou monopolizes. Please arrange to print tens of thousands of copies of this book and price it at one or two taels of silver."

Before Xiao Yimo could catch it, Lu Yunyang snatched it away.

"You know all these things? How can you make a book and let everyone know?"

Jiang Jiu looked at Lu Yunyang deeply.

"Shouldn't it be? If you put yourself in the Ninth Prince's shoes, the more merchants there are, the more taxes he can collect. Isn't that a good thing..."

Um...it's not wrong to think so.

After all, although Yiye Pianzhou is a big merchant, the tax he pays every year is fixed, and the rest is his own profit.

Lu Yunyang had thought more than once that if Yiye Pianzhou's technologies could be made known to more merchants, each additional merchant would mean paying more taxes, which would be beneficial to him.

The most important thing is that these good things are affordable for ordinary people, which is even better.

The sage said: Happiness alone is not as good as happiness with others.

Jiang Jiu sighed quietly, "Ever since Yiye Pingzhou became so powerful, many people have killed and robbed people for this little thing, and my mother was even deceived. Money is a good thing, but having too much is not a good thing either."

"You can't bring anything with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. It's better to make money together. As for how much you make, it all depends on your own ability."

Xiao Yimo carefully put the stack of papers into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaojiu. I'll take care of everything. The invitations from President Jiang and Manager Cheng have already been sent out. I'm sure this time, we should have no problem entering the Chamber of Commerce."

Xia Zhi also said: "The bookstore that the young lady wanted to buy has been bought. After Mr. Xiao prints the book, the young lady will make a lot of money again."

Jiang Jiu glanced out the window and saw the gray sky.

"It's dawn. Spread the word that the ring is missing..."

Everyone in the room left, leaving only Jiang Jiu and Lu Yunyang.

After a tiring night, Jiang Jiu went to bed with his clothes on, but saw Lu Yunyang holding a cup. The hot tea had turned into cold tea, but he was still in deep thought.

"The tea is cold. Ask them to change it for you, Your Highness..."

"Huh?" Lu Yunyang was slightly startled. "What did you say?"

Jiang Jiu closed his eyes, his expression indifferent: "I said the tea is cold, let them change it for you..."

"Not this one, but the last one." Lu Yunyang asked in confusion, "You called me Prince?"
