After listening to Yin Zhe's explanation, Qin Zhaoyue understood what rules and laws meant.
Chengyuan Underground Palace is the headquarters of the Nine Gates, and above it are the top-tier pleasure quarters and casinos for the powerful and wealthy.
You can tell from the methods used to train the Dice Heart Girl, especially her perverted and bizarre requests for service.
Yin Zhe didn't elaborate, but Qin Zhaoyue understood.
With the addition of listening devices placed in various locations, the Nine Gates gained access to a great deal of the powerful and influential people's secrets.
Apart from Chengyuan, the Nine Gates have no other properties.
Isn't that amazing? It's like all the four great families do is set up an entertainment club.
In reality, there's a small chamber of commerce in the East Market that operates general stores, restaurants, taverns, fabric shops, and more...
They sell everything, emphasizing completeness and chaos, with the most important one being a pawnshop.
For example, 40% of the gambling den's monthly revenue for the Four Seas Gang, as well as large-scale usury debts, were processed through this pawnshop.
The value of antique calligraphy and paintings is difficult to estimate.
When they meet someone they like, regardless of whether that person is famous or not, they are willing to spend a lot of money to redeem them from pawnshops.
A willingness is priceless, is there a problem?
I had poor eyesight and spent a lot of money to buy a fake.
The pawnshop didn't say it was genuine; they just pawned it anyway. Is there a problem?
Buying, selling, pawning, and redeeming—that's the rule.
The person in charge of placing the tokens in the Four Seas Gang is known to everyone as a member of the Nine Gates, but his true identity is that of a member of the Four Seas Gang.
Is there a problem?
All the servants under the jurisdiction of the Nine Gates were registered as slaves from the moment they were purchased.
Is there a problem?
This is the law.
When established families do things, they are meticulous and leave no room for error; not a single mistake can be found on the surface.
Qin Zhaoyue pondered for a moment, "What is the identity of that Ghost Fang who just appeared?"
"The person who once controlled the Ghost Market was secretly the agent of the Cui family, one of the four great families, in the streets of Fengjing..."
According to Yin Zhe, the four great families were not a monolithic entity.
Fengjing is the most important place in the world, and everyone wants to control the narrative.
After a round of reshuffling, the Wang family emerged victorious and reached an agreement with the other three parties.
Ghost Fang naturally lost its purpose and was discarded as a pawn. It was secretly rescued by the Xuanji Guard and imprisoned in the Netherworld Prison for many years.
Therefore, when he first appeared, the Nine Gates suspected that he was a hidden hand of the Cui family, dissatisfied with the current distribution of benefits.
However, this reason is easily refuted and cannot withstand scrutiny.
It doesn't matter. If Guiya says he is, then he is the Cui family's representative.
So what if the Cui family denies it?
Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart; how many years had this been planned?
The old mother sets up plans, one after another.
Ghost Fang, the Four Seas Gang, has taken down four leaders of the Nine Gates; his "fame" is enough.
But taking over Chengyuan is just a shell; there are countless other entities with intricate connections to it.
Losing Chengyuan was a significant loss for the four great families, but it was by no means unbearable.
The roots are still there, penetrating every aspect of Fengjing; at most, it's just a change of shell.
Qin Zhaoyue had a headache and asked directly, "What is Your Majesty's plan?"
There is no set procedure.
"Alright, stop hiding things from me now, just tell me straight."
"No, really."
Qin Zhaoyue stopped, and Yin Zhe also stopped. The two stood facing each other, staring at each other wide-eyed.
"Stop fooling around."
"No trouble. His Majesty's intention is to seize Chengyuan and quickly spread rumors throughout the city."
Manipulating public opinion to create a united front against a common enemy and to bring fame to the talented woman from Fengjing.
"No, what about the rest?"
They even used the puppets they had kept hidden for many years; Gui believed that this was just a superficial attempt.
Yin Zhe shrugged. "It's a turbulent time, and the national treasury is empty."
Qin Zhaoyue: ? Where did this come from again?
"so what?"
"Does Your Highness think that the 10% profit promised by His Majesty is easy to earn?"
"Um, can I not take it? Consider it free work tonight, no pay."
"Ha, Your Highness says you're not naive."
Yin Zhe's expression held a hint of mockery, but Qin Zhaoyue's face flushed with anger.
Of course, it was mostly something I consciously held back; I was still quite calm inside.
Well, I want to just let go and not do anything, I've made my attitude very clear. You guys are the ones who forced me to work, so it's reasonable for me to take some responsibility out of desperation.
Yes, as the book of merits turned a new page, Qin Zhaoyue had already decided to walk on two legs.
She wanted to promote the rise of women and also to save the people from the ravages of the Nine Gates!
Okay, the starting point wasn't that noble.
The main reason is that the situation is not expected to be peaceful in the future, so I need to accumulate enough merit points as soon as possible to advance to the Divine Martial Realm, at least to have the ability to protect myself.
To be honest, Yin Zhe's words, "You have the life to earn it, but not the life to spend it," stung a little.
Qin Zhaoyue hadn't forgotten that she was ambushed at the very beginning of her transmigration, and she still hadn't found the mastermind behind it.
And then there are the sorcerers who intervened twice during the disaster relief efforts; who knows if they'll hold a grudge and try to assassinate us again.
She took on this job to earn money and merit points, and during the process, she would definitely have to be accompanied by the Xuanji Guards for free protection.
This is a triple win, I'm so happy!
In the end, Qin Zhaoyue was defeated.
His shoulders slumped, and he looked utterly dejected and helpless.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and finish this job as soon as possible."
Yin Zhe was stunned. He had thought there would be some more verbal back and forth, but he had agreed so easily.
Watching her hurried steps forward, I felt a little strange for a moment.
At the pinnacle of bliss, Qin Zhaoyue looked up at the artificial starry sky, pondering that the inlaid gems alone could be worth a lot of money.
However, looking around, it was just a slightly more elaborately decorated hall, which made him wonder: "Where is paradise?"
Caishen's face was as pale as paper, but at least the medicine stabilized his injuries.
He took a key from a box in the armrest of his wheelchair and pointed to the mural on his left.
"The keyhole is in the pattern three feet off the ground, turning three times to the left and four times to the right."
This job naturally fell to Zhao Tai again. Who knows what's hidden behind the trap? Who knows if the God of Wealth might have the courage to perish together with him?
Zhao Tai had no choice but to take the key and go to the wall, where he quickly found the keyhole.
Hidden among the intricate patterns, it's impossible to spot without prior knowledge of its location.
Following the steps outlined in the God of Wealth's skull, the thick stone wall opened upwards.
Qin Zhaoyue, who was intrigued, widened her eyes instantly: The Golden Legend!
Relying on the presence of two Divine Martial Realm experts, he strode forward.
Hidden hibernation followed closely behind. Although the possibility of danger was very low, what if it happened? Then, a voice transmission was heard in the ear:
"Purple~~~ I should have a share in this, right? I think so!"
Hidden Hibernation: ...
Was all that talk for nothing? Why are you still so easily swayed?
