Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

After the men cleaned up the yard, Song Zhi asked all the women to go back first.

When Xiaocao left, she asked someone to help her drag the old cripple back.

Song Zhi believed that every day from now on, the old cripple would have to atone for the sins he had committed in his life.

Because they took the poison, these men became much more obedient and no longer had any other bad intentions.

Song Zhi was very satisfied with their current attitude. He took a chair and sat in the front row, saying, "I know there are many talented people in Gou'er Alley who even the imperial court is wary of. Next, you should classify all the alleys from weak to strong, and then we will take them down one by one."

Such bold words almost scared these people silly.

"Boss, it turns out you're not just interested in this alley, you're interested in the entire Gou'er Alley!"

Song Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any objections?"

The man hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I'm just a little surprised."

Song Zhi looked around and said coldly, "I don't want to confront them directly at the moment. Do you know what to say if someone asks about it later?"

A head-on conflict means that a large number of secret guards will be used, which can easily attract attention from the outside world.

So she planned to take it step by step and slowly eat away at this place.

One of the men asked tentatively, "Let's say Wang Biao went out with some brothers to do some business and hasn't returned yet?"

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Not bad, very smart."

The man was very proud of the praise.

Song Zhi continued, "As for me, if they notice I've been here, just tell them I'm here to collect the money. Everyone knows you owed me a hundred taels of silver a few days ago, so I'm not afraid they'll get suspicious."

When the one hundred taels were mentioned, many people lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Song Zhi said: "Don't worry, since you have become my people, I will naturally not ask you to return it. But if anyone asks, just say that I didn't receive the silver and was humiliated and left."

Everyone agreed, and Song Zhi asked again, "Do you all know how to treat the women at home when you return?"

Although it was difficult for everyone to accept, they still accepted their fate and said, "Got it. We will no longer use our status as men to oppress them. We will live a good life with them."

Song Zhi smiled with satisfaction and took out one of the two boxes of silver he had searched in the yard and distributed it to them.

They didn't expect to receive so much silver before they had done anything, and they immediately accepted it with joy.

You have to know that when they followed Wang Biao before, let alone so much silver, they didn’t even get a few copper coins, and usually they just managed to avoid starving to death.

If not for this, they would not have risked going out with Wang Er to cause trouble for money.

Compared in this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with following Song Zhi.

What's wrong with women? As long as they can take them to eat and drink delicious food, it's better to follow a woman.

Everyone was smiling, and there was a bit more sincerity in their eyes when they looked at Song Zhi.

Song Zhi was very satisfied with the results he wanted.

The most brilliant way to control your subordinates is definitely not simply oppression, but a clever combination of oppression and benefits.

Give a slap and give a candy.

Only by giving benefits can she win people's hearts and make them work for her.

When we came out of Gouer Lane, a group of strong men waved and saw us off at the entrance of the lane.

Xiao Tao was a little worried, "Miss, these people are obviously not good people. Is it really okay to keep them here?"

Song Zhi analyzed the situation carefully for her. "If we don't keep them, the news of our bloodbath in Gou'er Alley will spread throughout the entire place in a day. Keeping them here can help us cover up."

"Besides, if I leave these people inside to confuse the court, the court will continue to ignore this place, and I will have the opportunity to make my mark here."

Xiaotao nodded, not quite understanding.

It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t understand it that well. As long as we listen to our own lady, we will be right.

After dealing with these matters, Song Zhi asked Xiao Tao to return to the Song Mansion first, while he prepared to visit her guests.

With the lessons learned from the past, Qin Yue and her colleagues will conduct strict screening when recruiting new people, and will only give them numbered sachets after confirming that they are not spies.

Unlike Yunshui Youyou who had to take the initiative to open branches in the seventy-two cities to develop, the women who came to her side all came to her on their own initiative.

As his fame grew, women from neighboring cities came to him for refuge.

There are more and more people visiting rouge shops now, and there seems to be a tendency that they can’t accommodate the customers.

Song Zhi planned to speed up the process in Gouer Lane, and then all these women would go there.

When she was halfway there, a carriage with extremely flashy decorations stopped in front of her.

Before Song Zhi could open his mouth, he saw the curtain of the car window being lifted and Cang Jian stretched his neck and came out.

"This is terrible. Nan Qi is probably finished! I'm telling you, I just got inside information. The Crown Prince has been poisoned. Nan Qi and the Second Prince are suspected of being the ones who poisoned him and have been confined to the East Palace."

Song Zhi: “…”

Cang Qiong was sweating profusely. "Why aren't you talking? Are you shocked by this news? Although I know Nan Qi must have made some arrangements, this situation is a bit tricky right now."

Song Zhi: “…”

Is it possible that she didn't say anything because she already knew about this?

Seeing that Song Zhi didn't respond, Cang Qiong was about to say something else.

Song Zhi grabbed the chestnut cake he had just bought and stuffed it into Cang Jian's mouth. He looked at the people coming and going around him, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one noticed here.

She lowered her voice and said, "If you keep yelling like this, everyone will know about it. It won't be considered inside information."

Cang Jing was almost choked to death by the sudden chestnut cake. He rolled his eyes and struggled for a long time before he finally swallowed the dry snack.

He gasped for breath, "If we weren't close friends, I would have suspected you were trying to murder me."

Song Zhibai glanced at him and asked, "What else have you found out about the Eastern Palace?"

Cang Qiong's face flushed and he scratched his head. "I can't find anything out, so I thought of coming to you for consultation. Look, this is what I think."

Cang Qiong simply jumped off the carriage and followed Song Zhi forward. "Why don't we disguise ourselves as eunuchs pouring night incense tonight and head to the Eastern Palace. We can first find out where Nan Qi is confined, so we can change his toilet and make contact with him. Think about it, who would have thought that someone of our status would be disguised as a eunuch pouring night incense? We'll definitely be able to get in smoothly then."

Song Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth. Indeed, no one could have thought of this. This was such an interesting plan. The idea was so unique that she felt ashamed of herself.

No need to!

Thinking about this, she quickly changed the subject, "It's not appropriate for us to plot this on the street."

Cang Qiong shook his head in a pretentious manner, "You don't understand. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Similarly, the place with the most people and the most ears is the place least likely to be eavesdropped."

Song Zhi was shocked. "Who did you learn this kind of perverse idea from?"

Cang Qiong said proudly, "I learned it from my sister."

Song Zhi frowned:???

"Let her teach you something good."
