Hearing Xu Xiaoyi's words, Su Yanyue panicked. She did not take action directly, but said:
"But Sister Lin and I have already made three rules. I can't touch you, sir!"
[Xu Xiaoyi's shocking reward*0]
"Are you serious? I'm about to send it to you, you still care about this?"
At this moment, Su Yanyue became even more nervous. She wanted to keep her promise, after all, she was a princess, but when she looked at Xu Xiaoyi's appearance, she felt very uncomfortable.
So she looked around and found that the entire mansion was empty! She then shook her head, and after weighing the pros and cons, she took it out and lit it for Xu Xiaoyi.
【Level 1 negative status cleared.】
Xu Xiaoyi first got rid of his weak state, then he immediately took out a towel to cover his wound and disinfected it with alcohol.
Luo Qingcheng was standing on the roof at this time and saw the weak Xu Xiaoyi. After looking at him for a while, she shook her head. It seemed that he would not die for the time being.
.......
At this time in Ganhuang City, Nanyang Fan Hou was in a dilemma. He was being scolded by his own family members, and some people even blocked his door, making him afraid to come out.
Because the other three families began to sell large quantities of salt and iron at low prices, the Nanyang family's shop made no profit.
Nanyang Marquis Fan had paid a huge price to obtain the right to operate salt and iron, but it was no longer useful at this time.
Because they found that the salt and iron rights were only within the scope of Ganhuang City, and the salt sold by the other three companies in the city was enough for them to eat for many years. As for iron, it was not so bad, as it was a necessity, and their stockpiles would soon come in handy.
But the problem that bothered the four great families was that they were in urgent need of money. They had previously mortgaged their assets to the bank. Otherwise, the family assets would be taken back by the bank as collateral if they did not raise the money soon.
This is a difficult situation.
The other three families were not much better off. Although they were selling large quantities of salt and iron at this time, they sold more at low prices, but they were still the ones who suffered losses.
In fact, among this group of family heads, they discovered that many of the buyers were actually from the imperial court, because everyone bought so much, which was simply abnormal. But they had no choice. They couldn't just point at the emperor and scold him in front of him, right?
The group of people felt terrified instantly and became anxious as they thought about how to deal with the next step. At this moment, the eunuch came to them again.
"His Majesty has ordered that you all go to the Fuhua Palace for a banquet."
Coming again? What was he doing? Chang Sun Jian had a feeling something bad was going to happen. He wanted to escape but couldn't; he had already been caught.
The four family heads came to the palace again and went to the former Fuhua Hall. Changsun Jian and the other three formed a group and isolated Nanyang Fan Hou who was standing aside. Although they knew that Nanyang Fan Hou had been defeated, who made him so arrogant at that time?
"Your Majesty, we are all here." Chang Sun Jian stepped forward, bowed, and said:
"Everyone, please take a seat." Lin Tianlong's expression no longer had the good attitude he had before. He now looked a little serious, giving people a sense of silent oppression!
They now understand that it is obvious that after giving them the sweet treats, they are about to be hit hard and made to bleed.
After they took their seats, they didn't even dare to touch their wine glasses and chopsticks. They secretly looked at Lin Tianlong on the stage, picked up a bite of food and stuffed it into his mouth, then slammed the table angrily, and then finished a glass of wine and picked up the glass and threw it to the ground.
Lin Tianlong also didn't understand why Xu Xiaoyi specifically wrote in the letter asking him to do this?
"Do you know why I'm so angry?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know!"
"I don't know either! Your Majesty, please calm down."
After Nanyang Fan Hou finished speaking, Changsun Jian continued, and his words were even better than Nanyang's.
"Do I need to tell you this! Think about the good things you have done! Especially you! Nanyang Fan Hou, you are simply a waste! I have given you so many opportunities, but you have not been able to sell even a grain of salt for so long! And your families, don’t you know that salt and iron are monopolies of the court? You really want to die, don’t you?" Lin Tianlong overturned the entire table with an extremely angry expression. In this scene, he automatically deleted the line "If it is difficult, then don't do it" written in Xu Xiaoyi's letter.
The four of them stood up from their seats, knelt on the ground and started blaming each other!
"Your Majesty! It's all because of these three companies disrupting the market! That's why I can't sell anything! Please punish them severely!"
"Your Majesty, we are at the end of our rope! We are only trying to protect ourselves! We spent all our money on that competition! So... we have no other choice." Their words were a little cryptic. They just wanted His Majesty to return their money. Although the hope was slim, they wanted to give it a try.
Nanyang Fan Hou was instantly disdainful when he heard this. "Your Majesty hasn't even paid me back yet, how could he possibly pay you back first?"
"So you mean to blame me? Blame me for coming up with this idea to cheat you out of your money?" Lin Tianlong picked up the chair and threw it towards Nanyang Fan Hou.
"I wouldn't dare! I definitely didn't mean that! I'm just stupid."
Seeing the other three families apologizing in such an embarrassed manner, Nanyang Fan Hou was secretly happy for a moment.
"But you guys also gave me some ideas! I can return the money to you! Let you get through this crisis first!"
Hearing this, Nanyang Fan Hou instantly panicked and asked His Majesty to return the money to them. This group of people would definitely target him first! They would definitely buy up his family's property without mercy.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" he shouted in panic!
After hearing this, Lin Tianlong's eyes flashed with cunning, and then he asked:
"Why not? Explain it to me!"
"Not only are they disrupting the market, they are also being unreasonable. Your Majesty, you must not return the money to them!"
After hearing this, the other three families were instantly furious and began to prove themselves:
"You're talking nonsense! How could we be such people? We are loyal to Your Majesty! We are unwaveringly loyal to Da Gan, and you are not the ones who can slander us! Your Majesty, we accept the conditions!"
Hearing this, Lin Tianlong's mouth almost split open with laughter.
"Okay! Then I will return the money to you."
"Your Majesty! You haven't even returned my money yet? How can you give it to them first?" Nanyang Fan Hou said anxiously:
"Didn't I say I wouldn't return it to you? It's just that your actions have greatly disappointed me, the people behind me, and you three great families. It's completely outrageous. I must punish you!"
"I will only return half of your money to you," Lin Tianlong said angrily.
