Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 486: Undoubted Result

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The originally dead black market has regained some vitality.

Everyone found that the transaction price really started to rise slowly.

Many people have found that the antiques they put up for sale are obviously bought more quickly, and even as much as they offer will be bought.

When the market was hot before, people had to compete and bid to buy antiques, but later when the prices started to plummet, they only had to post the antiques and the price and wait for the results of the transaction. If the transaction could not be successful, they would keep lowering the price.

Therefore, most people who panic sell their antiques have no idea to whom they are selling them.

But for them now, as long as they can ship the goods, they are saving their lives.

"This……"

The eldest prince and his two siblings looked at each other, and their original determination to ship the goods began to waver, and no one spoke first.

"It seems to be over?"

The Fourth Prince was referring to the previous endless decline that was like an avalanche.

The eldest prince and the sixth princess did not speak, and they could not be sure.

And because of the previous scene, they themselves were also frightened.

But unlike the eldest prince and his three siblings, other people in the black market even cried for joy, feeling that they had finally survived the darkest moment and were grateful for their persistence.

But some people were very upset, thinking they sold it too early, and some even took it back.

But even so, the price is still steadily correcting, and it seems that the decline has stopped.

"Fourth brother, why don't we sell it to stop the loss?"

"If it falls any further, it will be unbearable."

The Sixth Princess is a girl after all. She is more timid at times like this and wants to choose a safer way.

The eldest prince had the same idea, but he just looked at the fourth prince and did not say anything to persuade him.

In his opinion, he had already persuaded the Fourth Prince enough tonight and had said all the necessary words of advice. After that, the Fourth Prince still needed to make his own decision.

After all, they had agreed at the beginning that the Fourth Prince would be in charge of this month's competition, and it would not be a good idea to interfere halfway now.

Anyway, no matter how bad the result is, they will only lose all their capital and the game. It's not like they haven't lost before, so this result is far from being unaffordable.

"Brother, Sixth Sister."

"I want to wait and see."

After struggling for a long time, the Fourth Prince gritted his teeth and said.

"But……"

The Sixth Princess wanted to persuade him again but was stopped by the First Prince.

"Fourth brother, then let's do as you think."

The eldest prince nodded and encouraged the fourth prince.

Next, the three siblings stayed at the trading office, watching the constant fluctuations in prices, and their hearts were constantly tense.

The price is also interesting. It goes up by 100 and then down by 200. It goes down by 200 and then up by 300. It goes back and forth like this non-stop, making people who are staring at the price feel worried.

From then on until dawn, the price did not return to two thousand taels of silver.

As the sky brightened, the black market was temporarily closed and moved from the street to the yard, where it was temporarily closed for an hour.

After all, the daytime business in the West Market will begin soon, and the people in the black market have to make room for them.

Even though the antique trade in the Jinpeng Dynasty has been booming recently, they will still abide by the rules.

If you want your business to last long, you must have rules.

The eldest prince and his two siblings couldn't bear it any longer and went back to rest.

They were all martial artists with some skills, so staying up all night shouldn't be that uncomfortable, but they found that staring at the price all night long was extremely exhausting.

Especially because of the constantly fluctuating prices, the three brothers and sisters all felt annoyed and irritable, and their mentality was severely impacted.

After returning to Zhang's residence, the Sixth Princess went straight to her room and fell asleep.

The eldest prince pulled the fourth prince aside, looked at him with bloodshot eyes and said:
"Fourth brother, you can't keep staring at me like this. Let the people below watch me."

"You just set the price and tell them when to buy and when to sell."

"I always feel that our efforts are not worth it."

The fourth prince nodded tiredly.

He didn't have this feeling a few days ago, but last night was really tormenting for him and he didn't want to go through it a second time.

When he first started practicing martial arts, he didn't find it so difficult.

After returning to Zhang's house, the three siblings went back to their rooms to rest.

The eldest prince and the sixth princess fell asleep quickly, but the fourth prince felt very tired and could not fall asleep.

He closed his eyes, and the strings of prices flew before his eyes.

I couldn't sleep, so I opened my eyes, and everything I saw looked like an antique from the Jinpeng Dynasty.

The Fourth Prince tossed and turned for a long time, and lay in the room until the sun was at its highest point in the sky without falling asleep.

"No, I can't sleep at all."

The fourth prince climbed up from the bed, closed his eyes and rubbed his brows to relieve the dryness and fatigue in his eyes.

At this moment, he felt dizzy and miserable, as if bitter juice was spreading inside him.

The Fourth Prince walked out of his room, summoned his attendants, and couldn't help but ask about the current prices of antiques from the Jinpeng Dynasty.

The attendant hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Your Highness, according to the latest news, the price has fallen below one thousand taels."

The Fourth Prince was stunned for a long time before he gave a bitter smile.

Although he had expected it, he still felt dizzy when he actually heard the news.

"vomit--"

The Fourth Prince suddenly began to dry heave without warning, but because he had not eaten anything, all he vomited out was water.

He immediately began to practice his skills and control his body through cultivation.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

The attendants hurried to help the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince waved his hand, not caring about his own body, and immediately ordered:
"Tell them to sell all the antiques and use the remaining money to repay the mortgage. I will pay the remaining amount myself."

"Tell the Money Gang to settle the mortgage debt immediately and stop rolling over the interest."

"They will still sell me this face."

After the Fourth Prince gave his orders, he felt powerless.

The attendant felt sad to see the Fourth Prince so distraught, but he still passed on the Fourth Prince's order without hesitation.

When the fourth prince saw his attendant leave, he sat down on the ground helplessly, leaning against the door, staring at the distant sky with lifeless eyes, muttering to himself, "What a miserable loss..."

……

As it turned out, at least the Fourth Prince did not cut his flesh in the dark night before dawn.

Over the next three days, the price of Jinpeng Dynasty antiques continued to fall slowly, heading towards the price of five hundred taels of silver.

It was too late for many people to turn around now, especially those who had re-entered the market when the market slightly adjusted back, and they were said to have lined up at the moat outside the city.

As time came to the last day of the competition, the price of the Jinpeng Dynasty antiques finally fell to six hundred and eighty-eight taels.

But at this time, this month's Imperial Garden Competition had already ended. After experiencing the ups and downs of the business world, the princes and princesses returned to the palace with their own results.

On the way back to the palace, Princess Ankang leaned against the car window, watching the scenery outside receding.

She had been having a blast in the capital these days and was starting to feel a little bored.

But now that I have to go back to the palace, I can't help but feel regretful.

"Alas, it's time to go back but I feel like I haven't had enough fun," said Princess Ankang.

When Yu'er heard this, she just covered her mouth and smiled.

A few days ago, when Princess Ankang seemed bored, it was Yu'er who played chess with her to relieve her boredom.

But Yu'er was also very clear about Princess Ankang's mentality and knew it was human nature.

Li Xuan pushed Princess Ankang with his head and took a seat by the window, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road.

Looking at the busy figures on the street, Li Xuan couldn't help but think in his heart:

"I wonder how many families have been destroyed and how many people have been killed this time?"

Since Li Xuan had set up the trap, he would naturally not be soft-hearted or soft-hearted. He just couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

No matter how well he sets up his scheme, there will always be evil people who are extremely smart and can control their desires and make money from his scheme.

In addition to those who have real talents, there are of course those who are lucky.

Li Xuan was helpless against these two types of people.

They are not within the five elements at all, so it is extremely difficult to plot against them.

But at the beginning, it was not them that Li Xuan wanted to plot against, but those greedy and incompetent people.

Fortunately, no matter what era it is, these people are the majority.

The heavy two million taels of silver in the Dihong bone ring reminded Li Xuan of this fact all the time.

the other side.

The eldest prince and his three siblings were also riding in a carriage towards the imperial city.

But the atmosphere in the carriage was inevitably much more depressing.

This time, not only did they lose all the money they invested in the competition, but they also had to spend a lot of money to repay the mortgage loans.

The Fourth Prince used up all his savings accumulated over the years and also borrowed a considerable sum of money from the Zhang family.

But even though it was a loan, since they were all family, it was actually almost the same as taking it. It could be considered that the Zhang family paid money to fill the hole for them.

As the head of the family and grandfather, Zhang Zhixian had to pay the money even if he was dissatisfied.

Otherwise, the eldest prince and his two siblings would not only lose everything in their business, but would also owe a lot of high-interest loan debts. If this news got out, Zhang Zhixian would no longer be able to live as a human being.

After all, he is the Shangshu Ling, the head of all officials, and he really cannot give up these honors.

Therefore, Zhang Zhixian had to bear the pain and pay them back, but he also severely criticized his three grandsons.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the carriage was too depressing, the Sixth Princess wanted to say something to ease the mood, but before she opened her mouth, she was stopped by the eldest prince's eyes.

The eldest prince shook his head slightly at the sixth princess, indicating that he should give the fourth prince some time to calm down.

The eldest prince knew very well how great a blow the fourth prince had suffered this time.

Now is not the time for them to intervene. They have to let the Fourth Prince recover first, otherwise nothing they say will be of any use.

The Sixth Princess opened her red lips slightly, looked at the Fourth Prince with worry, and finally closed her mouth again and sighed softly.

"Perhaps, we are really not cut out for this?"

The Sixth Princess was dejected.

It seems that no matter how hard they try, they cannot achieve their goals.

……

As the princes and princesses returned to the palace and came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to submit their results, this month's Imperial Garden Competition finally came to a conclusion.

Over a period of twenty days, the participating princes and princesses displayed their talents and carried out various business activities.

In the end, the last three people who made a profit were also the top three in the competition.

The first place, Princess Ankang, finally submitted 500,000 taels of silver notes, with a total profit of 490,000 taels.

The second place, the third prince, finally submitted 60,000 taels of silver notes, making a total profit of 50,000 taels.

The third place, the eighth prince, finally submitted 24,840 taels, with a total profit of 14,840 taels.

The others all suffered losses to varying degrees, ranging from a few taels of silver to losing all their money.

Such a result made Emperor Yongyuan extremely angry, and he immediately formulated a system for the princes and princesses who caused the losses to repay in installments based on their monthly allowance.

For a while, the princes and princesses who were used to a wealthy life began to complain bitterly.

But apart from these, everyone was still shocked by Princess Ankang's outrageous results.

Immediately, a naughty kid who did not want to reveal his name questioned Princess Ankang's achievements. As a result, Princess Ankang clearly pointed out the source of her income and proved that it was reasonable and legal.

"I just had good luck and won some money in the gambling house."

According to Princess Ankang, on the last day of the competition, she went to the legally operated Sihai Casino to play poker and ended up winning the whole day, with the tax payments of the Sihai Casino as proof.

According to what Princess Ankang said, it was indeed well-founded and there was no way to slander it.

No matter how unwilling others are, they can only accept this fact.

The Sihai Casino was of course just an excuse, and the chief monk Li Xuan had already made arrangements for this matter.

In order to conceal the fact that Princess Ankang was behind the hype of Jinpeng Dynasty antiques, they made special preparations.

Anyway, Emperor Yongyuan can also take the taxes paid by the gambling house into his own hands.

Li Xuan paid a full 500,000 taels of the money he won.

According to Chief Steward Shang, this money is enough to fill the deficit in the national treasury.

And with the benefits of continued hype in the future, Emperor Yongyuan should not be short of money for the time being.

After all, Emperor Yongyuan will have to take action himself later. The wealthy people in the capital have just sent Li Xuan away, and now they have welcomed a bigger evil star. They are really blessed.

Of course, the subsequent hype has little to do with Li Xuan. He is only responsible for sharing the profits. Anyway, he has already taught the method to Manager Shang. How big the hype is depends on their own strength.

After the Ministry of Internal Affairs calculated the final results, everyone except Princess Ankang was not in a good mood.

Of course, this does not include a very small number of people who directly spent money, such as the Seventh Princess who bought the Stargazing Book she had longed for, and the other little kids who bought snacks and toys.

"Your Highnesses, according to the final results, the final winner of this month is Her Royal Highness Princess Thirteen."

"Congratulations to His Highness Ankang for accumulating another point."

"As for this month's winning prizes, they will be presented by His Majesty himself in Ganlu Palace tomorrow. Princess Ankang, please come and see him alone then."

Zhao Feng, who rarely appeared in public, announced loudly.

When the other princes and princesses heard that Princess Ankang was able to meet the emperor alone and win the award, they were shocked.

How long has it been since Emperor Yongyuan summoned his children alone?

The signs that Princess Ankang was favored were becoming more and more obvious, which made many people feel uneasy.
