After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Qingzhou was in an uproar over this.

The entire Chamber of Commerce was in chaos.

Xiao Heyun ordered the arrest of all those involved in the incident and tortured them severely to force them to reveal the mastermind behind the incident.

"You are dreaming. If you didn't do it, then you didn't do it. If you want to force a confession, don't even think about it!"

People who were thrown into prison never thought that they would die.

Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce is such an important matter. If it is messed up, he will be punished even if he is a prince.

So many people are still waiting for Xiao Heyun to let them out.

But that’s just dreaming.

"Search the homes of those people and spread the news that Qingzhou Prefecture intends to cooperate with other merchants. As long as they have the ability, anyone can join this chamber of commerce!"

This move is simply cutting off the source of the problem.

When it comes to business, the bigger you are, the more successful you will be. You can't ignore the royal family.

After all...it is too easy for the imperial court to make them lose everything.

As a result, within just half a month, the business empire of the three major families shrank by almost half, and was snatched away by the other small families that they looked down upon.

"The Chamber of Commerce will naturally continue. We can't stop because of this matter. Let them all be prepared. Now is a good opportunity."

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that his opportunity is coming when he sees this situation.

In the past, in front of the three major families, they could only pick up the leftovers that others didn't want.

And now, Xiao Heyun's attack on this group of people means they have a chance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they quickly expanded their business and quickly squeezed out the businesses of the three major families.

The few people who were captured were still waiting for Xiao Heyun to release them.

But who knows...can they get out?

At the same time, Xiao Heyun did another thing.

That is to find out all the Westerners. Not only was the matter of the musket investigated clearly, but also the tribute was seized.

"Write to the capital and tell His Majesty that the Westerners intend to blow up Yongyi Lane and have brought a large number of muskets here. The wealthy merchants are colluding with foreigners and I will deal with them all."

"Yes!"

Li Jin looked at his expression and felt a little anxious.

Since that day, the prince has hardly shown any emotion.

He looked so calm and indifferent, as if he was not the one who lost control that day.

But... there's nothing we can do about it.

The prince must not leave. Qingzhou is a powder keg at this moment. If it is not handled properly, everyone will be blown to death.

In this regard, Li Jin could only try his best to observe his expression.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and get some rest."

He has been sleepless these days and often stays up late to deal with things.

It seemed like he would never get tired, but Li Jin was very worried.

He looked at the prince and felt as if he had returned to the time when they had just returned to the capital, isolated and helpless and forced into a desperate situation.

"Perhaps, it's good that the boy is here. At least the prince will talk more and not be so boring."

Sometimes when he looked at Xiao Heyun, he felt a little breathless under the pressure of his aura.

He was like a sharp blade that had been soaked with blood, hiding in the darkness, ready to cut someone's throat at the next moment.

"Has the person been found?"

Li Jin was stunned for a moment, feeling a little guilty: "Not yet..."

"Keep looking. Find her no matter what the cost."

Xiao Heyun's eyes, which were so deep that they seemed cold and ruthless, seemed to have emotions at this moment.

He was angry and sad.

Li Jin sighed and said, "Yes."

Although he knew in his heart that after such a long time, he still couldn't find the person, he was probably in great danger.

But in front of the prince, he finally said nothing.

At least we have to give the living people some thoughts, after all, the prince really treats that boy differently.

Li Jin sometimes felt that Nangong Yuan was very cunning, but he had to admit that he was a very charming person.

"Hey, you little brat, don't die yet, or my prince will turn Qingzhou upside down."

When Nangong Yuan was around, the prince's expression would never be so ugly.

He also speaks softly and doesn't even swear.

Thinking about it this way, could it be that the prince really likes him?

"It's not impossible. After all, that boy is really good-looking and capable."

"By the way, don't run away first, you have to be responsible for my prince becoming like this."

Li Jin had a lot of random thoughts in his mind, but he was not at all confused in his actions.

After a few days when the Qingzhou issue was resolved, the city gates were opened.

The Chamber of Commerce is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Someone was sharp-eyed and noticed that those familiar people were not there this time.

For example, Runjia and Shuyuan business.

These people always show up at the Chamber of Commerce every year. Why are they not here this year?

"What's going on? They are all strangers."

"You probably don't know, but that group of people are in big trouble!"

Someone asked in surprise: "What's going on? What happened?"

"Hey, it's a long story. Anyway, this group of people offended the prince, and now, they are all killed."

A businessman frowned and said, "No way. After all, they are the three major families. It doesn't seem reasonable that they were destroyed so easily."

"What do you think? Even the three major families cannot be compared with the imperial court. If the prince wants to kill them, it is just a matter of a word."

A few people argued for a long time, but they didn't see those familiar people anymore.

"It seems that the situation in Qingzhou has really changed."

But there's nothing we can do about it, since they are so bold.

"Your Majesty, the memorial has been submitted."

Xiao Heyun nodded and said, "Have you arranged all the people I asked you to arrange?"

"It's been handled, and the muskets have also been sent to Kyoto. There are no omissions."

"Well, then you go and keep an eye on the Chamber of Commerce and make sure nothing goes wrong again."

Li Jin had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Your Majesty, I will go right away, but you should also rest."

There was a bit of black and white under his eyes, and his eyeballs, which used to be clearly black and white, were now full of bloodshot, looking scary.

"Don't worry about it, just do what you should do."

Xiao Heyun sent him away and wanted to continue handling official business, but for some reason he did not move.

The moonlight outside was very bright, very similar to the day when they basked in the moonlight on the roof of Yijianmen.

But it was very cold tonight, and he felt a chill right down to his bones.

“A Yuan····················?"

He frowned, and a flash of pain appeared in his eyes.

If only I hadn't let her go to that damn alley.

They had been fighting for so long, but unexpectedly, the most unlucky one was the innocent Nangong Yuan.

This is really speechless.

"Damn it, I should die first."

His whispers blended into the night, bleak and lonely.
