Chapter 968 Dragging away the stick to die (update 7.19)

Princess Yangping temporarily lived in Xizhou in the home of a Sanguan official surnamed Jiang in Xizhou Shangzuoguan.

There is no vacancy for the position of Xizhou Inspector, and the Shangzuoguan is a substitute idle official who has a generous salary.

Xizhou is close to Hejing, the imperial capital of Li Gan, and there will never be a lack of staff for the position of governor. Therefore, the Shangzuoguan of Xizhou is destined to be leisurely and leisurely, and he only takes a high salary and does nothing.

The emperor is not stupid, and will not support idlers for nothing, so this position is usually awarded to "hardworking people".

The name of this scattered official with the surname Jiang was Jiang Mengxing, and his family was very rich. When the emperor came to Hejing, he offered treasures diligently and offered half of the Jiang family's property.

Princess Yangping came to Xizhou on the fourth day of February, and she has been staying at Jiang's house for the past few days.

Now going back to the Ping Yuyuan specially prepared for her by the Jiang family, Princess Yangping is still out of her mind.

Li Yishu and Yu Ziqi couldn't make a sound, so they accompanied them quietly.

However, Princess Yangping picked up and drank the special Biluochun served by the maid.

The hot tea made her mouth burn, and when she woke up, Princess Yangping threw herself on the ground: "You want to die!"

The high-grade Qingxiao floating smoke porcelain cup shattered to the ground, and the maid was so frightened that she immediately fell to her knees: "This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die!"

"If you know you deserve to die, then go die!" Princess Yangping yelled, "Come here, drag me down and die!"

Li Yishu hurriedly said: "Princess, it's better not to!"

"My mouth is scalded!" Princess Yangping glared at her.

The servants of the Jiang family had already come in from the outside, dragging the completely stupid maid on the ground and walking out without even daring to beg for mercy.

"Princess!" Li Yishu watched the maid being dragged away, and looked back at Yang Ping, "Let her be spared, Shang is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how young. Besides, he is the maid of the Jiang family."

Yu Ziqi pursed her pale lips, not daring to speak.

"Sixteen or seventeen years old," Princess Yangping scoffed, "Aren't Ah Li also sixteen or seventeen years old? I hate people who are sixteen or seventeen years old the most. I hate women who are younger than me!"

Li Yishu raised his eyebrows, and looked outside the door again, but the maid was no longer in sight.

After learning about the battle of Li's iron cavalry in the eastern part of Huazhou two days ago, Princess Yangping became more and more tyrannical, and she didn't smile for several days.

Specifically, Li Yishu didn't know much, so she didn't dare to ask more questions, and only heard Princess Yangping sneer in a strange voice: "What is narrow victory, even if both sides suffer, it is worthy of narrow victory."

Li's iron cavalry was defeated.

Li Yishu couldn't believe it, let alone dared to say more.

The maid was completely dragged away, the fate can be imagined.

The atmosphere in the room was tense for a while, until other maids and servants came in to clean up the teacups on the ground.

Hearing the crisp sound of the teacup tiles colliding, it was only after a little rediscovering the taste of the world.

Not long after the maids and servants who were packing things left, a man in his early thirties hurried over, raised his hand outside the door, and called respectfully, "Princess."

"Come in." Yang Ping said.

"Princess," the man walked in, saluted again, and said, "Those tea merchants refused, and found a few, but closed their doors to thank the guests. I went to their mansions, handed out invitations, and said that I am the princess. You mean, they are still stubborn and won't open the door."

Yang Ping looked at him coldly, this time he didn't lose his temper, just patted the palm and forearm of his right hand on the table lightly.

"There is no reply from the silk merchant." The man continued.

At the end of last year, Yang Ping asked Li Yishu and Yu Ziqi to sell [-] shops and raise money separately.

But for the fifteen shops, the prices offered by the buyers were not high. At that time, she only gave Li Yishu and Yu Ziqi five days. After five days, Li Yishu and Yu Ziqi came to her with a brochure and asked her if they could make a sale.

Hinata immediately tore up the booklet.

She is a big princess, and she is not so downcast that she sells her shop cheaply!
His subordinates were all useless, so Yang Ping went out in person.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she came out of the palace, first walked around Hejing, and sold all fifteen shops at high prices.

I have always known that the power in the hands of the royal family is supreme, but after realizing the power into real money, this taste is really wonderful, and it makes it difficult to be content with the status quo.

Therefore, Yang Ping forcibly acquired several shops at extremely low prices, and then sold them to several wealthy businessmen at high prices, and the difference between the prices made her a fortune.

In this way, it should be a happy spring month, but after coming to Xizhou Mansion, she immediately began to have troubles.

Big merchants are fine.

In order to protect the family business, the big merchants have always been respectful to her.

It is the small business that is difficult to deal with.

Right now, out of the [-] shops that Yang Ping had her eyes on, only eight shops were taken away by her and sold to other wealthy businessmen.

For the rest, even shut her down.

"What do you think?" Yang Ping looked at Li Yishu and Yu Ziqi who were beside him.

Yu Ziqi's eyes were timid, and she didn't dare to say more.

Li Yishu thought for a while and said: "Tea, silk and satin are mostly belongings of the gentry. These merchants can expand their business and have more contacts with the gentry and dignitaries. Naturally, the princess is not afraid of these people, but she is afraid that they will be behind their backs in the future." play tricks."

"In your opinion, what do you mean?"

"Let's leave Xizhou Mansion and go to Mingtai County," Li Yishu said, "Mingtai County is mostly farm households, we cut off from the farm households, and we can eat at least ten shops waiting for supply. From then on, we are the source Lord."

Yang Ping felt that the four words "Lord of Source" sounded very pleasant.

Her eyes brightened, and she looked at Li Yishu: "You are right, silk cannot be separated from sericulture, if we eat these farmers, who will dare to show me any shame?"

"Princess!" A familiar voice came from outside.

When Yang Ping heard this voice, Fang still felt in a good mood, and was thrown cold water in an instant.

She looked outside the door, it was Aunt Yujing who had been with Concubine Mu the longest.

In addition to Aunt Yujing, Princess Yangping's two maids in the palace, Jingshu and Fengqin, were also there.

Yangping's expression turned cold, and he looked to the side.

Li Yishu said in a low voice: "I think there is something wrong in the palace, so let's call them in."

"I don't even know what's going on." Yang Ping said coldly.

Li's iron cavalry was regarded as a heavy weapon of the royal family, and they returned home without a feather. Whose face did they beat?It's the royal family, it's the emperor.

At this moment, the father will be angry in the palace.

But when the father got angry, he would either be silent and cold without saying a word, or suddenly explode and kill people and behead him.

Either way, Hinata doesn't want to go back.

She still remembers the look her father gave at the Yuanhe Sect's gate, that cold, cruel, vicious, and cursed look.

"Princess." Aunt Yujing called again.

"It's so annoying!" Princess Yangping scolded angrily.

"Princess, Concubine Mu Gui calls you back to the palace."

Yang Ping stood up, kicked off the crescent stool he was sitting on just now, and walked towards the warm pavilion in the inner hall.

Jingshu and Fengqin looked at Aunt Yujing with heavy hearts.

When they came just now, they saw the maid who was being beaten.

The maid's elder brother was begging for mercy, but the stick holder said that the princess had ordered the stick to kill him, and if he didn't kill him, he didn't stop.

They didn't dare to look too much and hurried past.

This is not the first time, there are no less than ten maids in Shu Yu Palace who were killed by sticks.

The princess, who was cheerful and lively back then, has long since changed her temperament.
