Mo Lin fearlessly added, "Madam, why are the things you women use so expensive? This small bottle of powder is what an average person would use up in a year. This face is too expensive."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his master's gaze drifting towards him.

Mo Lin ran away, shouting as he ran: "Master, fifty pots of osmanthus wine, a total of three hundred taels."

Gu Xingyan sneered and turned around, only to see Li Shuangwan looking at him with his arms folded across his chest and a dangerous smile on his lips.

Gu Xingyan couldn't help but take a step back and touched his nose: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Shuangwan took a step closer to him and said, "Madam? Mo Lin is still a child, very innocent. When did he learn to use this trick to please you?"

Gu Xingyan smiled foolishly and stepped back.

Finally, Li Shuangwan pushed him into a corner and raised his hands in surrender to her: "I was wrong, ma'am."

Li Shuangwan raised her head and looked at him. The man's eyes were full of smiles. Finally, he held the girl in front of him in his arms.

"Maybe he and Jia Lin were outside the house yesterday and heard it. Madam, don't you think this name is nice?"

Gu Xingyan knew that Yanyan hated the word "Princess" very much, so she didn't want anyone else, including himself, to call her "Princess".

Not to mention that "Madam" sounds much better than "Princess".

Li Shuangwan glared at him angrily: "If my brother hears this, he will beat you up."

"He can't beat me. Tell me, how much will Ling Heng have to pay this time?"

Li Shuangwan was indeed diverted by him: "According to the laws of Northern Jin, those who sell counterfeit goods must pay three times the amount."

"Not only does Yanxue Pavilion sell fakes, but the items they sell are also poisonous. That means they will have to pay ten times the amount in compensation."

"Those gouaches are sold at ten taels, ten times that is a hundred taels, and there are cheaper ones. If we calculate based on the average price of five taels per bottle, ten Yanxue Pavilions sold more than 50,000 bottles, that would be more than five million taels."

"No matter how capable Xu Zhian is, he can't come up with so much money at once. Before Ling Heng can get his shop out in the open, it will be used as compensation by Jingzhao Prefecture."

Li Shuangwan curled her lips and smiled, feeling quite happy: "It will be difficult to appease the public anger unless Xu Zhian pays a huge sum of money."

Gu Xingyan snapped his fingers, and Lin Musen pushed the door open and came in: "Master."

"Give the order to close the net in five days."

Lin Musen had long wanted to do something big, so after hearing this, he excitedly responded with a loud, "Yes."

After a while, the voice of Lin Musen gathering people was heard.

Li Shuangwan raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Xingyan: "Xingyan, do you think Ling Heng will kill Xu Zhian?"

Gu Xingyan gently stroked her head: "Not for now. Someone has to take responsibility for this matter. Push him out and the Jingzhao Prefecture will convict him according to the law. However, if you enter that place, you will lose half your life if you don't die."

Li Shuangwan thought for a moment and said, "After being convicted, Xu Zhian probably won't live long. He knows too much about Ling Heng, and Ling Heng won't let him live."

Gu Xingyan remained silent. People like Andy Hui should have died long ago.

"You want Lin Musen to take over all the Yan Xue Pavilion in the ten families?"

Gu Xingyan raised his eyebrows: "Who made my wife like it? It's not just these ten families in Yanxue Pavilion. With five million taels of silver as compensation, Ling Heng's hidden industries can also be cut off from the bottom of the fire."

Li Shuangwan couldn't help laughing. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek as a reward, ignoring his words "my wife".

Li Shuangwan knew that after Ling Heng was named the crown prince, he had brought 20% of the shops under his name to the surface. It was a pity that the time was too short. Otherwise, if he was given more time, more than 50% would be under his name.

Let Andy Hui die, this time his foundation cannot be shaken.

……

Ling Heng is in the study of Xu's house at this moment.

In the yard, all the servants were sent away, and the entire yard was surrounded by Ling Heng's secret guards. No one dared to get close.

He appeared at Xu's house in disguise.

Andy Hui's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He knelt on the ground, shivering and not daring to get up.

He is fond of male homosexuality and has spent a lot of money on it in recent years.

In addition, he was not good at business, and since his father was murdered, the Xu family's businesses had gradually declined in his hands.

The shopkeepers of the ten shops under Yanxuege had sent several groups of people to invite them early in the morning before the Jingzhao government office sealed off the shops.

But, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, so he can't go out.

Ling Heng's face was ashen and he was furious. He had been standing in front of the windowsill for a long time.

Suddenly, he turned around, strode up to Andy Hui, and kicked him in the heart: "Who gave you the courage to add lead powder to gouache! These things are expressly prohibited by the imperial court, don't you know!"

Ling Heng used his internal force in this kick, and the kick was quite strong, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out immediately.

But he didn't dare to beg for mercy, and kept kowtowing: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please, please save me. As long as you tell Lord Bai of Jingzhao Prefecture that you are the boss behind Yanxue Pavilion, he won't dare to do anything."

Ling Heng's face was full of disgust. His great-uncle was a genius in business. When his grandfather's assets came into his hands, they doubled in just over ten years.

How could such a thing come into being?

"I can't save you!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." The anxious voice of the Eastern Palace guards came from outside the door.

"what's up?"

"People from Jingzhao Prefecture are coming and will be here soon. Your Highness, you must leave immediately."

Ling Heng opened the door and went out.

Andy Hui knew that once he was arrested and sent to Jingzhao Prefecture Prison, his life would be over.

He immediately rushed out, tightly grasped Ling Heng's legs, and cried, "Your Highness, you can't just stand by and watch me die. My father has given you so much money, you can't just walk away and do nothing when something bad happens."

Ling Heng looked down at him, his eyes were as cold as if they contained thousands of sharp blades. If someone did not have to take responsibility for this matter, he would have wanted to cut this man into pieces right now.

"open!"

The guard at the door stepped forward and struck him on the elbow with the scabbard of his sword.

Xu Zhian groaned, his arms went numb, and his hands that were holding Ling Heng suddenly lost their strength.

Ling Heng strode away.

The guard put his cold sword against his neck and whispered in his ear, "Xu Zhian, listen carefully. If you dare to leak a single word, the Crown Prince will not mind sending your family down to accompany you."

Andy Hui’s face turned pale. Feeling the cold touch of the sword against his neck, he dared not move.

Now he is a lamb to be slaughtered.

Wanting to make a last stand: "Your Highness, this is just killing the donkey. I am his cousin, how could he do this! How much money has our Xu family given him over the years, how could he..."

A murderous look immediately flashed in the guard's eyes. He thrust the sword in his hand forward, leaving a bloody mark on his neck.
