Chapter 1162: You even dare to touch your people?

"What does opening a shop have to do with Xingyue Tower?"

Jiang Wan took the opportunity to pour a glass of wine for each of them, and they immediately opened their mouths to tell him everything they knew.

"Madam Shopkeeper, you may not know that the entire Chengzhou City is the territory of Xingyue Tower.

If we don’t get the permission from Xingyue Tower to open a shop, we won’t be able to continue running the shop.”

"How do you know?"

Song Jiuyuan took a sip of wine from the glass, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

Having been away from Kyoto for a long time, he was secretly thinking about the name of the prefect of Chengzhou.

"Think about it, this shop has just opened, and today someone from Xingyue Tower came to take a look for free.

Tomorrow the people from Xingyue Tower will come and drive away customers again. If this continues, will this business be able to continue?"

Someone kindly reminded Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan, "If you two really want to open a shop.

I suggest you go to Xingyue Building to register first and pay the management fee on time every month."

"How can this be possible!"

The wine glass in Song Jiuyuan's hand was placed fiercely on the table. It can be seen that his face was full of anger.

Jiang Wan gently held his hand and smiled to everyone, "My husband is impatient, please don't mind."

"Don't mind, don't mind. We drank your wine and ate your food, so we are just kindly reminding you a few words.

It’s best not to go against Xingyue Tower, or you will end up in trouble.”

“If it doesn’t work, you can go find the people from the Life and Death Pavilion. They are against the Xingyue Tower.

But for us ordinary people, it is not a good place. "

"You two nobles should not be short of money. You can open a shop somewhere else. There is no need to open it in Chengzhou."

“…”

The people spoke from the bottom of their hearts. After Jiang Wan thanked them, she seemed a little puzzled and asked:

“Why did you suggest that we go find someone from the Life and Death Pavilion instead of reporting it to the police?

Logically speaking, Chengzhou is still under the jurisdiction of the government, so why is Xingyue Tower so arrogant?"

"Hush, Madam Shopkeeper, please keep your voice down. The Xingyue Tower is closely related to the prefect's family. We can't do anything to them."

"Yes, they have been in collusion for a long time. Reporting to the authorities is like walking into a trap."

"The sister of the owner of Xingyue Tower married the prefect and became his daughter-in-law."

“…”

After getting the information they wanted, Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan paid the bill and left Zuixianlou, her face thoughtful.

"It seems that this Xingyue Tower is more complicated than we thought."

Jiang Wan originally wanted to end the battle quickly, but the opponent's power was so great that she and Song Jiuyuan had to abandon their previous plan.

"Well, let's explore first."

Song Jiuyuan was thinking the same thing, so the two of them were not in a hurry and went back to the inn to rest for a night.

At night, they washed up and had their meals in the space. In the morning, Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan went their separate ways.

He went to look for the secret agent hidden in Chengzhou.

Jiang Wan did not go to other industries, but went to Wansi Pavilion first.

Wansi Pavilion does business with wealthy ladies, so the news might be better-informed.

The person in charge of the entire Chengzhou now is Bai Zhi, who was among the first group of people selected by Jiang Wan.

She and Muxiang were sent to the orphanage together.

Bai Zhi was particularly excited to see Jiang Wan, "This servant greets Mr. Jiang!"

To these people, Jiang Wan was not a princess, but just Jiang Wan, their master.

He is also their Mr. Jiang!

"I'm here to do some business, so I came to inspect it."

Jiang Wan hinted to Bai Zhi, "You don't have to panic. My identity will be kept secret. Just treat it as receiving a guest."

She didn't want to reveal her identity and cause unnecessary trouble.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

Bai Zhi led Jiang Wan to the private room on the second floor of Wansi Pavilion, and then brought a number of account books.

"Mr. Jiang."

"Don't look at the account book first, tell me about Xingyue Tower."

Jiang Wan tapped the account book lightly with her fingertips. "I believe you. Have we ever paid the management fee to Xingyue Tower?"

This one sentence made Bai Zhi's eyes slightly widen. She didn't expect that Jiang Wan knew so much about everything just when she first arrived.

“No.”

Bai Zhi lowered her head with a guilty conscience, "I... I am just relying on the power of others to bully others. Xingyue Tower is afraid of Wansi Pavilion."

To be honest, she was wrong to make the decision without consulting Mr. Jiang and the prince.

"oh?"

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows, "What did you say?"

Her expression showed no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, which made Bai Zhi inexplicably nervous.

But she still gritted her teeth and told the truth: "This servant has never revealed your and the prince's true identities.

I just thought that there was someone behind our Wansi Pavilion, and the people from Xingyue Tower probably found out that Wansi Pavilion had branches all over Dafeng, so they didn’t target us.”

"I see."

Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes, "Do you really think the people in Xingyue Tower are just here to eat?

I'm afraid they have already found out that I'm the mastermind behind this, but it doesn't matter, Wansi Pavilion has already made it clear anyway."

Jiang Wan didn’t care. Since Xingyue Tower was wary of her and Song Jiuyuan, it meant that they were still afraid of them.

"I deserve death, please punish me, Mr. Jiang!"

Bai Zhi knelt down in front of Jiang Wan. She lowered her head and no longer dared to look at Jiang Wan.

"Forget it. I'll fine you three months' salary to make up for your mistake. Tell me about the matter of Xingyue Tower."

Jiang Wan was angry because they didn't tell her about Xingyue Tower. If she had known earlier, she would have noticed it long ago.

"Xingyue Tower is said to have been in Chengzhou for many years, until the old owner passed away two years ago.

The new owner of the building has taken over the throne, and his methods are even more fierce. Now the people of Chengzhou are not afraid of the government but they are afraid of them. "

Bai Zhi said one by one, “There are many small forces in Chengzhou, big and small, but they all obey Xingyue Tower and Shengsi Pavilion.

Whatever Mr. Jiang wants to investigate, I will ask my men to investigate.

It’s just that there has been a case of a missing girl in Chengzhou recently. I know that you are a powerful man, so it’s better to be more careful.”

Bai Zhi's face was pale, and she seemed a little scared. Jiang Wan was quite curious.

"Can you tell me more about this missing girl case?"

"About a month ago, a number of young girls went missing. The authorities said they were looking for them, but they haven't found any."

Bai Zhi's eyes showed fear, "One is lost every day. Now the people in the city are in a panic. The girls hide themselves tightly after nightfall."

"In that case, tell the girls among us to be careful when they sleep together at night."

Jiang Wan gave Bai Zhi a few instructions and didn't look at the account book much. Instead, she went back to the inn to meet Song Jiuyuan.

Song Jiuyuan came back later than her, and Jiang Wan had already prepared three dishes and a soup in the space.

"Looking at your expression, it doesn't look good."

Jiang Wan placed the hot food on the table and said, "I heard a lot of rumors on my way back. We made the right choice to come to Chengzhou."

"yes."

Song Jiuyuan's face darkened, "Two of the secret agents I placed in Chengzhou have been destroyed.

There are only two people left, one of whom has already rebelled and I just dealt with him.

Another one was injured, but the information he provided was reliable.”

"You dare to touch even your people?"

Jiang Wan once again felt that the people of Xingyue Tower were so bold that they had reached the point where they could cover the sky with one hand in Chengzhou.
