At this time, Lai Biao looked at the other party's smile, which was as red as a poppy. Jiu Ning grabbed the other party's arm and raised his foot to attack the other party's lower body.

Lai Biao had been in the army for a few years after all, so his skills were pretty good, otherwise he wouldn't be able to support such a large black market.

However, he could not gain any advantage under Jiuning and could not even get out of the house.

Hearing the sound of fighting in the house, some people outside rushed over, but Lai Biao still had some dignity and shouted loudly before everyone got close.

"You are not needed here, get out now."

The group of people moved away in shame before they could get close.

Lai Biao shouted for everyone to leave, but did not delay in fighting with Jiu Ning. Jiu Ning smiled even more cunningly and spoke while fighting.

"Tomorrow, the Ye family will be decreed to be an imperial merchant. His Majesty intends to allow the imperial merchant to expand its business scale to accommodate soldiers returning from the front lines and provide them with security."

From the moment Jiu Ning said the first word, Lai Biao wanted to cover his ears and run away, but he also had to deal with Jiu Ning. While suffering a loss, he also had to hear everything clearly.

At this moment, a strong man stopped fighting instantly, even looked a little aggrieved, and sat down on the ground.

This woman is like a devil. This is related to His Majesty, the Li family, King Cheng, and the army. Is this something a gangster like him can listen to? However, this plan cannot be ignored.

Using commerce to support the war can not only weaken King Cheng's prestige in the army, but also provide real protection for the soldiers. At this time, they have to get on the pirate ship whether they want to or not.

If he doesn't go up, he will face the emperor's purge. If he goes up, I am a tough guy. I was forced into such a miserable state by the Li family back then. Even after so many years, I still feel unfair.

The worst that could happen is death. Lai Biao, who had figured it out, immediately cheered up and jumped up from the ground with a somersault.

In order to express his grievances, he glared at Jiuning fiercely, but Jiuning laughed even more happily.

It was a blatant conspiracy and calculation. Ever since he entered this house, Lai Biao had nowhere to escape.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Lai Biao walked back to his seat and poured himself a cup of tea. Although it was already cold, it was just enough to calm his anger.

Jiu Ning took light lotus steps, her skirt swaying with her body. "General Lai, why don't you think about what path you want to take in the future?"

Lai Biao appeared calm on the surface, probably he hadn't thought about the future!

"Have you ever thought about continuing to join the army? I can help you with this, and I can guarantee you a high-ranking official position."

This woman is simply too bold. Lai Biao's face is full of disbelief.

Jiu Ning saw all the expressions on the other party's face. When King Cheng fell in the future, Xiao Heng would definitely have to go to the battlefield. And after a group of King Cheng's subordinates were eliminated, the army would definitely lack generals.

Not only did she pull Ye Shijie along, she also set her sights on Lai Biao, thinking that he was a promising talent. She was not in a hurry. Since she had set her sights on him, there was no way he could escape.

At this time, Ye Shijie in Beijing felt a sudden chill for no reason, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet. Who was trying to plot against him again?

Jiu Ning ended the topic and said with a smile, "Lend me some men first. Tong Zhiyang plans to raid the Ye Mansion tonight and torture the Ye family servants into confessing so that he can frame the second son of the Ye family. We must not let him succeed. We just need to hold out until tomorrow when the imperial envoy arrives."

Without waiting for the stunned Lai Biao to recover, Jiu Ning turned around and walked out, picking up her skirt. Finally, she thought of the Western Region Gyro Flower.

"Brother Biao, do you know who purchased the Western Region Gyro Flower?"

Lai Biao had not yet figured out the matter of returning to the army, so he subconsciously answered Jiu Ning's question and said a name, the name of a pharmacy.

Seeing Jiu Ning coming out safe and sound, Xue Fangfei immediately walked forward worriedly, and then she felt relieved when she saw that there was not a single wrinkle on his body.

"Let's go, let's go back home."

Seeing Xue Fangfei opening her mouth to ask about the situation of the Western Region gyroscope, Jiu Ning nodded slightly, and Xue Fangfei felt relieved.

The three of them returned to the Ye family mansion together. As soon as they arrived at the door, a servant came out and carried Ye Mingyu from the carriage into the house. Jiu Ning, Xue Xue, and Fang Fei came to the main hall only after settling their third uncle.

As soon as she came in, she saw Zhuo and Jiaer looking anxious, and there were huge boxes placed in the main hall. Jiu Ning was very curious, but before she could ask, Zhuo's voice was heard.

"Ali, are you back?"

When Zhuo saw Jiu Ning, she felt like she had found her backbone. She immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hands tightly. Her eyes were filled with tears and grievance.

"You have no idea how outrageous Tong Zhiyang is. She actually dared to threaten us with Shijie and demanded 100,000 taels of gold. Even the servants went to bribe her with silver, but she was nowhere to be seen."

As he spoke, he began to sob. The person the whole family was most worried about was his second uncle who was suffering in prison.

At this moment, everyone in the hall was feeling depressed and the atmosphere was depressing.

Jiu Ning secretly slapped his forehead. This day was so useless. He always went to see his second uncle, but Li Jin always came out to make trouble.

This time she would not let him go until he had suffered enough and avenged the worries of his entire family.

The four backbones of the family gathered together again. Jiu Ning did not hide anything and told them about Tong Zhiyang's arrangements after Zhuo left.

Jiaer's first reaction was to gather all the factory workers, shop workers, and Ye family servants together.

Seeing that it was getting dark and the matter was indeed urgent, Jiaer took care of it first.

As soon as Jiaer left, Zhuo was not idle either. She immediately called the steward of the mansion and gathered everyone together to give them a talk.

There is only one central idea. The Ye family is in danger this time, but even if they lose, they will only lose the second uncle and some money. If the people around him dare to betray the Ye family for the sake of profit, the Ye family will not only make his family lose both money and property, but may also destroy his family.

Afterwards, Zhuo gathered together all those who had no fighting ability and did not want to cause trouble and hid them away. This was a big stick and red dates.

After everything was arranged, several people gathered in the hall, waiting for the darkest moment.

Jiuning looked at the large boxes still placed in the hall and asked curiously.

"Second aunt, what's in this box?"

Although Zhuo looked nervous, she glanced at the box and said nonchalantly, "Hey! These are sent by your third uncle. I haven't opened them yet, so I don't know what's inside."

The fact that something could be delivered at this time must be beneficial to the Ye family. Jiu Ning walked over and opened the boxes one by one. Inside were some valuable things, including gold, silver, jewelry, toys, jade, rare books, and two sets of extremely luxurious clothes.

"Are these all sent by my third uncle?"

I just walked forward curiously and looked at these objects, and was extremely surprised.

"It seems that this third brother is not bad either. These are probably his treasures collected over the years!"
