Chapter 663 Changes

How could he not believe it? No matter how bizarre it was, even if no one else believed it, he would still believe it.

"So what are your plans for the future?"

"Earn money and wait for my daughter."

"What kind of business is it?" If it's good, Dean Chen also plans to join.

"kill."

“…”

——

Half a month later.

Imperial Palace, Moon-Watching Pavilion.

The attic was filled with soothing incense. A small figure was lying on the soft couch. He seemed to be sleeping very uneasily, with cold sweat on his forehead and his whole body trembling subconsciously.

'Squeak'

The wind blew the window, making a slight sound.

The person on the couch was suddenly startled: "Ye Qianning——"

Sang Zhi panted heavily, staring at the roof. After a while, he slowly sat up. He dreamed of her again. He dreamed of a tiger with patterns tearing her apart, and he could only sit aside and cry...

"Your Highness." There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Yingge came in from outside, holding a tray with medicine sent by the emperor.

"It fell."

Yingge didn't hesitate at all. She raised her hand and poured it into the flowerpot beside her, then turned around and prepared to go out.

"etc."

Yingge turned around and said in a cold voice, "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

"Thanks."

"Your Highness, there is no need to tell me this."

"Thank you and Du Yi for entering the palace." Sang Zhi's voice was soft and a little cold.

"I did not enter the palace for Your Highness."

"I know."

"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will withdraw." Yingge turned and left.

Sang Zhi looked towards the door with red eyes. He knew, and because he knew, he trusted them. In this huge palace, they were the only ones he could trust.

Kyoto City is no longer the Kyoto City of the past, and he is no longer the cowardly man he used to be.

The calming incense burned out, and his head felt a surge of energy. The air in his body continued to rise, making him very hot.

Sang Zhi grabbed his chest fiercely, tightly, wishing his five fingers could dig through his entire chest. He wanted to become stronger. As long as he controlled this internal force, he could become stronger.

As long as he has strong enough abilities, he can avenge Ye Qianning and find the old man who took Ye Qianning away.

——

Time flies like an arrow.

In a year, it seems that nothing has changed, and it also seems that many things are gradually changing.

In Kyoto City, without the Qian Mansion and the Xiang General Mansion, the people of these two families were gradually forgotten.

In the Gu family, Mr. Gu is mentally ill, so the Gu family sent someone to send the old man to another courtyard for recuperation half a year ago. Since the Gu family split up, the industries managed by several branches have been declining.

The Royal Merchants were doing very well this year and they intended to suppress the merchants. Since it was the royal family's business, no one dared to challenge them. Many people abandoned the Gu family and chose to cooperate with the Royal Merchants.

The goal of the Emperor of Beili is to let the imperial merchants monopolize all of Beili. The money earned by the imperial merchants will fill the national treasury, and the country will not be afraid of an empty treasury when recruiting soldiers and horses.

The greater the profit, the more ambitious the Emperor of Beili became. He gradually stopped allowing private merchants to appear in Beili. He planned that any business must be approved by the imperial merchants and pay business taxes to the imperial merchants before they could set up stalls.

This regulation put the Gu family in great danger. Business was originally the source of livelihood for the common people, but it suddenly became the income of the royal family, and they also had to pay taxes.

This will make the Gu family unable to continue and the people will lose their jobs.

The third and fourth branches of the Gu family had a hard time doing business in just one year. After the separation, they still had some income in the first half of the year, but the income gradually decreased in the second half of the year. The situation is not optimistic.

Now that a royal merchant has emerged and introduced new rules, there is no point in doing business. It would be better to close down early.
