"Everyone line up to draw lots. Shops in different locations line up separately! If you draw a lot with a shop, you can go to the government office and go through the transfer procedures directly!"

"Anyone who causes trouble will be disqualified from drawing lots and imprisoned for three days as a warning!"

Those who were planning to fish in troubled waters and disrupt the situation were stunned when they heard this.

Don't you just start selling it right away?

Instead, you draw lots first, and if you win the lot you can go directly to the government office to pay the money and transfer the ownership?

These people have not yet reacted to the change in the situation.

Over there, the yamen runners have already started organizing the shops with different price ranges into queues.

Drawing lots to decide who can buy and the location of the store now seems to be the fairest strategy.

Next to the government office, the Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce also hung up a huge schematic diagram.

Like a map, the map shows the location of each store and which stores are for sale.

There are special guys in charge there once the transaction is successful.

The word "for sale" on the map will be crossed out.

"This isn't fair!" someone just shouted.

The lottery tube for those who line up here and wait for the lottery to be covered will be closed.

"Someone on this team is disobeying the rules. The draw is suspended. Please step out!"

"After he leaves the line, the others can continue drawing lots!"

The man who shouted was glared at by the people in front and behind him before he could finish the rest of the words.

"Are you going to buy it or not? I've been asking around for a long time and waiting for a long time! I finally have the chance to buy it! And you're messing around here!"

"That's right! That's right! If you think it's unfair, just buy it somewhere else!"

"No one is stopping you from buying! They are willing to sell it this way! We are also happy to buy it. If you don't want to, then don't queue up here and take up a spot!"

A group of people around him glared at him and said bad things to him, but they just didn't take any action!

Didn’t you see that just now there was a person who was taken away by the yamen officers because he pushed the person in front of him in the queue?

A gentleman talks, not fights! They really want to buy the shop, and they can't miss this opportunity just because they don't follow the rules.

You know, if you miss this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to get a house again!

They have been looking for a place in Kyoto for a long time! This is the only opportunity with sufficient housing!

A few people who wanted to cause some trouble were attacked by the crowd before they could stir up much trouble - they were stared at by everyone and had to leave in shame.

As for taking action?

As soon as they started taking action, they were thrown into jail.

Although three days is not a long time, who wants to spend a few days in jail for no reason?

If you can't commit it, you really can't commit it.

After those bad apples were removed, the queue for the lottery to buy a house was now in good order.

Some people just laughed and some cried.

Those who drew the lot here quickly went into the yamen and paid the money to transfer the ownership.

As soon as the formalities were completed, the word "For Sale" on the picture outside was immediately crossed out.

As the number of houses "for sale" decreased, the people queuing outside for the lottery became more and more anxious.

I was anxious, but I didn't dare to cause any chaos in the team.

Those who draw a blank ticket can only shake their heads and sigh.

Although I missed the opportunity, there is nothing to complain about. I guess it is God's will!

The drawing of lots continued until nightfall.

Qi Liang, who had sold out all the shops he owned except for a few that he had specially kept for himself, was feeling very upset.

He is probably the richest man in Kyoto.

But what excited him most was not the accumulation of wealth.

But it is his status in Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce and in the Kyoto business community.

People from the Chamber of Commerce originally had some talk about him because of his large-scale purchase of shop land on Yong'an Street.

It is inevitable that some people think that he is young and ignorant.

But because of the manipulation of Princess Jing and the influence of Mr. Xie, those people have completely changed their view of him.

In addition, when selling the shop this time, he did not abandon Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce, but asked Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce to be responsible for coordination.

This is not a thankless task.

Rather, it is an opportunity to demonstrate the influence of Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce in Kyoto.

In addition, by attracting powerful and wealthy businessmen to join the Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce, the power of the Chamber of Commerce was further strengthened.

In addition, it was entirely because of Qi Liang that Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce was able to obtain the construction project of Yongchang Academy.

This is another way to gild the reputation of Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Merchants used to be the lowest class and were looked down upon by scholars, but now, under the leadership of Qi Liang, the style of their chamber of commerce seems to be getting higher and higher.

As a result, once they mention that they are part of the "Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce", the way others look at them will immediately change.

Such a dignified and honorable thing cannot be bought with money alone!

Now, everyone in Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce admires Qi Liang and praises him highly.

No one makes a fuss about his age anymore.

On the day when the shop on Yong'an Street was sold, the prince was also in a private room with the best view on the second floor of a nearby teahouse, watching the hustle and bustle in front of the government office from afar.

"The president of Ruiyun Chamber of Commerce is indeed a man who gets things done." The prince nodded with satisfaction.

He stood high and could see clearly.

He saw clearly that those troublemakers who wanted to stir up trouble were either arrested or expelled by the crowd.

"Sure enough, someone is causing trouble." The prince's eyes were slightly cold.

There were quite a few people in the group, and some of them, seeing what happened to their companions, didn't dare to make a fuss and had to leave in disgrace.

After they left, the prince saw them exchanging glances and speaking in secret.

"Come here, follow them quietly and see who is trying to ruin the affairs of Yong'an Street." The prince ordered in a cold voice.

……

Princess Cheng has been waiting for news at home.

What she wanted to hear most was the news that the sale of a shop on Yong'an Street had caused a big chaos and resulted in a murder lawsuit.

But after waiting for a long time, until it was dark, they received the news that "Madame Tian is missing."

Princess Cheng stood up suddenly, her eyes went dark, and she fell back into her chair.

She wanted to destroy Yong'an Street, but she didn't dare let too many people know, so Nanny Tian did it personally.

Now, I haven't heard of any incidents in Yong'an Street, but Aunt Tian is missing...

Is it true that something happened to Nanny Tian?

Princess Cheng suddenly felt anxious, short of breath, and suffocated.

She asked the maids to wait at the gates of the palace and report immediately if there was any news about Nanny Tian.

She herself didn't even prepare dinner.

She had originally asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and was just waiting for the task to be accomplished so that they could celebrate quietly.

But now, she had no appetite at all.

Princess Cheng waited until midnight, then she leaned on the beauty couch and dozed off.

She had a vague dream in which she saw Nanny Tian being caught by Prince Jing and forced to tell the truth about herself.

She also dreamed that Prince Jing came to Prince Cheng's mansion with a big knife and wanted to kill her with one blow.

Princess Cheng suddenly woke up and sat up from the couch in a cold sweat.

Just then, I saw Prince Cheng walking into the room under the cold moonlight.

The look in Prince Cheng's eyes when he looked at her was colder than the moonlight outside the door.

His words made Princess Cheng tremble violently.

"Mrs. Tian is dead."

"What? Who, who killed Aunt Tian? Who?"

Princess Cheng was extremely angry.

But King Cheng's next words made her feel cold from head to toe.
