The hidden demon lord, the empress brought her baby to ask for responsibility

A few days later, snow fell in Nanli City.

After a few days, heavy snow began to fall from the sky again.

Nanli City was peaceful and tranquil, and the streets were more lively and noisy than before.

It was not long before the annual festival of auspicious snow heralded a good harvest and welcomed the New Year.

Every household on the street began to busy themselves with buying New Year's goods, and the windows of the houses around the street began to paste New Year's paper-cut window decorations.

Bright red lanterns were hung high, decorating the streets and alleys.

Stalls and shops selling New Year's goods could be seen everywhere on the street.

Even the monks who had been living in Nanli City could not help but be infected by the festive atmosphere of the mortal world.

The entire Nanli City was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Among them, only the Jiang family's mansion was dead and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

A few days ago, the Qi family suddenly began to buy all kinds of immortal herbs and elixirs in the city, and they bought them at extremely high prices.

Among the acquired immortal herbs and elixirs, there were many medicinal herbs that were completely worthless and had no effect.

Many cultivators and drug dealers basically sold all the medicinal herbs in their hands to the Qi family at a high price.

Jiang Zhen's keen business sense noticed the unusualness of the Qi family's large-scale acquisition of immortal herbs and elixirs.

He found many cultivators who made elixirs to study the medicinal herbs acquired by the Qi family overnight, but he could not figure out what new elixir the Qi family was going to develop.

It was no wonder that the Jiang family could not figure it out.

Ning Yechen developed the formula for refining immortal pills for the Qi family himself, and there was no record of it in the world. Qi Rongchang of the Qi family was also very smart.

He knew that the Jiang family would definitely notice that the medicinal herbs purchased in large quantities were mixed with many immortal herbs and elixirs that were not in the formula at all.

Even if the Jiang family studied for a lifetime, they would not be able to figure it out.

At this time, in the Jiang family's mansion, Jiang Zhen was sitting in the lobby, frowning, stroking his forehead with his hand, and looking tired.

With the Treasure Chamber of Commerce as a witness, he dared not not hand over the jurisdiction of the streets of Nanli City to the Qi family.

After the Qi family gained the jurisdiction of each street, they immediately began to suppress the business of his Jiang family!

Many of the chambers of commerce under their command have already turned to the Qi family!

In order to deal with the suppression of the Qi family, he has been busy in recent days.

Except for a few managers and his younger brother Jiang Ming, the others in the family are of no use at all!

Especially his son Jiang Li, who has always been a playboy and has no talent in business!

Now that his lower body is crippled, he only knows how to hide at home every day to lose his temper and smash things, and has no ambition at all!

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Li is his only son, Jiang Zhen, he would have wanted to drive him out of the Jiang family!

The mysterious man who attacked Jiang Li and killed Jiang Gan has not been found yet...

The Jiang family doesn't know when they have provoked such a person, and they don't know whether the other party will attack their Jiang family again...

After Chen Rou's death, Jiang Zhen and other members of the Jiang family have been living in fear.

They are afraid that the next Jiang Li or Jiang Gan will be them...

This kind of mental torture makes everyone in the Jiang family exhausted physically and mentally.

Before one thing was done, another thing came up, and Jiang Zhen felt only annoyed and headache.

""Brother."

At this time, Jiang Ming walked into the hall and greeted Jiang Zhen. During this period, he had been responsible for recruiting alchemists to study the Qi family's healing spirit liquid and the acquired immortal herbs and medicines.

At the same time, he was also responsible for tracking down the murderer of his son Jiang Gan.

Seeing Jiang Ming coming in, Jiang Zhen looked expectant and asked quickly:

"You are here, how is it?"

"Can you crack the Qi family's recipe?"

Jiang Ming shook his head slowly and said with great regret:

"no…"

"The magical herbs and medicines purchased by the Qi family are of various types and too strange."

"I have already found more than a dozen alchemists to study together, but I still can't find out the recipe of the elixir in the hands of the Qi family..."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen leaned back in his chair in disappointment and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.

"Since there is no result, why did you come to me?"

"The Qi family sent someone again…"

"They said they wanted to buy the magical herbs in our Jiang family's hands at a price ten times higher than the market price."

Jiang Ming walked forward, took out the list of medicinal materials listed by the Qi family from his arms and handed it to Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen didn't even look at it, he grabbed the list and tore it to pieces, shouting angrily:

"Let the Qi family get out!"

"Otherwise, chop off his head and send it back to the Qi family!"

"Even if the Jiang family lets all the medicinal materials rot in the warehouse, they will never be sold to the Qi family!"

Jiang Ming stood aside and pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and advised:

"Brother, why don't you raise the price a little bit and sell all those herbs to the Qi family?"

"You want me to sell those herbs to the Qi family?"

Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Ming with anger and questioned.

Jiang Ming nodded and said seriously:

"Big brother, you know we are in debt now..."

Jiang family's main business relies on the high price of Fire Lotus Liquid.

Now that Qijia Chamber of Commerce controls the lifeline of Nanli Chengdu Chamber of Commerce, Jiang family can no longer lower the price of materials needed for Fire Lotus Liquid as crazy as before. The cost of refining Fire Lotus Liquid has increased greatly, and they have fewer sales channels.

A few days ago, they also ordered a large amount of materials for Fire Lotus Liquid from other places, and repaid part of the debt every month in the form of credit installments. They also have to pay a huge amount of spiritual stones to the Holy Lotus Sect every month....

The Jiang family seems to be very wealthy, but the flow of funds is very huge, and there is not much money left in their hands.

Suppressed by the Qijia Chamber of Commerce, the funds for next month are not enough to repay the previous debts...

If the chambers of commerce cannot pay off their debts on time, the credibility will be affected.

Once the credibility is affected, it will be difficult to cooperate with other chambers of commerce in the future!

Jiang Zhen also understood this, and he felt more and more headache.

I thought the Jiang family would win the chamber of commerce competition, so he purchased a large amount of Fire Lotus Liquid materials and paid on credit in installments.

As long as they win the chamber of commerce competition, the Jiang family will control the chambers of commerce and shops in the entire Nanli City, and the funding gap can be quickly made up.

But they never expected to lose...

This has caused the Jiang family to be in such an embarrassing situation now.

"Hey, tell me your plan."

"Since you asked me to sell those herbs, you must have a plan, right?"

Jiang Zhen sighed and looked at Jiang Ming and asked.

His younger brother was quite smart.

The Jiang family also relied on the two brothers to have what it has today.

But their two sons were too disappointing...

Jiang Ming smiled and expressed his opinion:

"Brother, I have a plan!"

"The medicinal materials purchased by the Qi family are most likely used to refine the healing liquid."

"The healing spirit liquid is not a body-hardening liquid, so it will not affect the business of our Jiang family."

"We can take this opportunity to raise the price and sell the herbs to the Qi family, and then speed up the refining of Fire Lotus Liquid in large quantities!"

"When the time comes, selling this batch of Fire Lotus Liquid at a high price will be enough to make up for the funding gap of my Jiang family!"

"By then, Nanli City will still belong to my Jiang family!"
