After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 254 Selling Fireworks Recipes
Lin Xi: "I plan to hold an auction and sell the fireworks prescriptions."

Pan Yanjun was shocked, "Pavilion Master, how can this be possible? Fireworks are a major sign of our Jinlin Pavilion. If they are sold, can we still suppress the Jinyu Pavilion?"

Luo Xiuning: "Yes, Pavilion Master, behind the Jinyu Pavilion is the Zhang family, and that Zhang Guan is very shameless. Except for the fireworks, almost everything else in our pavilion has been copied by him. If you sell the fireworks again, If he buys it, won’t Jinyu Pavilion have to put pressure on us?”

Lin Xi: "The crime of having a jade is that trying to monopolize a business before you have absolute strength will only lead to disaster."

He Wentian: "The pavilion master is right, the Zhang family has set its sights on fireworks, and if they don't get them, they will only keep causing trouble.

"The Zhang family is related to the county magistrate's house. The day before yesterday, the magistrate sent people to search for assassins. Yesterday, someone pretended to have food poisoning. If this continues every three days, how can we open our doors for business?"

Pan Yanjun: "Then we have to give up the fireworks recipe like this? I am not willing to do so."

Lin Xi: "It's not about giving it up, but selling it at a high price, and I guarantee that the Zhang family will suffer a huge loss when the time comes."

She has said so, and it is no longer easy for others to object.

Lin Xi drew up an auction list. In addition to fireworks recipes, there were also ice-making recipes and various rare treasures.

It can be said that every item in this auction is a rare treasure.

She handed the list to Pan Yanjun and asked her to make a batch of invitations and spread the news that the Jinlin Pavilion was going to hold an auction.

"Hey, have you heard? Jinlin Pavilion is going to hold an auction, and the fireworks recipe is one of the auction items!"

"What? Jinlin Pavilion wants to sell the fireworks recipe? Fireworks are like a hen that lays golden eggs. By doing this, Jinlin Pavilion is not cutting off its wealth?"

"I heard that there are not only fireworks recipes, but also ice-making recipes. Can ice cubes be made? This is simply a fantasy!"

"Whether it's true or not, I'm going to book this auction. It will definitely be very lively by then."

Countless people were gearing up to go to the auction, only to be told that they needed an invitation to participate in the auction.

The invitation costs 100 taels of silver each (limited to one person).

Everyone: "..."

"This Jinlin Pavilion really does everything to make money!"

"Isn't this auction a stunt they did just to earn money for invitations?"

"Hmph, 100 taels is 100 taels. I want to see if this auction is really what the rumors say. If Jinlin Pavilion dares to lie to people, I won't let it go!"

Time soon came to the day of the auction.

Jinlin Pavilion will be closed for one day to serve the auction.

People who bought invitations lined up at the door waiting to enter.

Seeing the long queue, passers-by couldn't help but sigh, there are so many rich people in Linjiang City.

So many people bought an invitation worth 100 taels of silver.

At the auction, among the audience.

There are many people waiting to see Jinlin Pavilion slap itself in the face.

"If Jinlin Pavilion is willing to sell fireworks recipes, I will twist off my head and play it as a ball for Pan Yanjun."

"And what kind of ice-making recipe is there? Ice is naturally bred from the energy of heaven and earth. How can it be artificially created? It's simply the most ridiculous thing in the world."

"This Jinlin Pavilion will do anything to please the public."

Unfortunately, it was not Jinlin Pavilion who slapped themselves in the end, but these people themselves.

When the fireworks recipe was actually put up for auction by Jinlin Pavilion, everyone was in disbelief at first, and then they bid wildly.

But in the end, he was photographed by the wealthy Zhang family.

At a high price of thirty-eight thousand taels.

Next came the ice-making recipe, which was auctioned off by the Pang family of the Sixth Grade Family, with a transaction price of 5000 taels.

Others can only sigh and lament their lack of financial resources.

"With the fireworks recipe, I want to see how Jinlin Pavilion can compete with me."

Just when Zhang Guan was dreaming about counterattack with fireworks, he suddenly heard a piece of news.

"What? Jinlin Pavilion presented the fireworks and ice-making recipes to the emperor?" The emperor publicly praised Jinlin Pavilion for its righteousness and gave him a handwritten plaque? "

Zhang Guan fell down on the imperial concubine's couch with a pale face.

Jinlin Pavilion promised at the auction that once the prescription was sold, it would never be sold to anyone else.

It is true that they did not sell it to anyone else, but dedicated it to the emperor!

However, this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is——

"Sir, the emperor also issued an edict, saying that he did not want to compete with the people for profit, and could not bear the people to endure the heat, so he made these two prescriptions public.

"Those people can get these two prescriptions for free without spending a penny! But you spent a full 8000 taels of silver to buy them.

"Jinlin Pavilion is so inhuman. How could they do this? Isn't this intentional to trick you?"

Zhang Guan's face gradually became ferocious, as if he wanted to eat people: "Gold, scales, pavilion!"

In this invisible business war, Jinlin Pavilion won beautifully and gained face.

Lin Xi held a celebration banquet and gave everyone in the pavilion an extra month's money as bonuses.

She had just procured nearly 8 taels of silver from the Zhang family and the Pang family. Her small treasury was greatly enriched, and naturally she didn't mind letting her subordinates get some benefit.

After the banquet, Lin Xi returned to the island in the middle of the lake and lay lazily on the couch.

A messenger crow flew in front of her.

This letter crow was the one that stayed in the Lin family.

Cuiniang wrote a letter saying that she saw a red ribbon tied to the tree in Cao Ying's yard.

Lin Xi sat up suddenly.

Did Liu Mugen really appear in Mingshui Village?
Taking Xiao Jin back to Mingshui Village, Lin Xi landed in Cao Ying's yard.

"What about people?"

Cao Ying was startled, then calmed down and replied: "He asked me to prepare some paper money for incense candles. I guess he went to Death Man Slope to burn paper for that old guy."

Dead Man's Slope is the cemetery for the people of Mingshui Village, where most of the dead in the village are buried.

Of course, Father Liu’s tomb is also there.

Lin Xi went there but saw no one.

Is it already gone?

After a mental scan, she found a line of footprints. Based on the size and texture of the footprints, there were three people.

Cao Ying said that Liu Mugen was followed by two people when he arrived.

This line of footprints was probably left by them.

The footprints did not leave, but went into the mountains.

Lin Xi followed the footprints and found that the road became more and more familiar.

Isn't this the road leading to the Lin family's parents' cemetery?
The tombs of "Lin Shujin" (Li Mi) and Lu Qianjin are in the valley at the end of this road.

On a big tree, Lin Xi's body was hidden behind the trunk, with only one eye sticking out, looking towards the valley where the Lin family's parents were buried.

Thanks to martial arts training, her eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people.

When she focuses her inner energy on her eyes, she can see farther and clearer.

Even though the valley was thousands of meters away from her, she could still clearly see the three people inside.

As expected, it was Liu Mugen and his party, and the two beside him were the Great Protector and the Third Protector.

Through He Wentian, the deputy gang leader, she knew a lot about the Qianhai Gang. She also knew what the senior leaders of the Qianhai Gang looked like.

Why did they come to the Lin family cemetery?
Just when Lin Xi was confused, the Great Protector and the Third Protector in the valley moved and they started digging graves!
In this era, digging someone's grave is a very vicious thing, and it cannot be done without deep hatred.

Could it be that Liu Mugen has a grudge against Li Mi and his wife?
