I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 167 A perfect harvesting plan! (Subscribe, monthly ticket)

When Ding Tianming heard Jiang Rong say this, he was well prepared.

He took out half a jade bracelet. The bracelet was of extremely high quality, one in a million, and there were special carvings on it.

When Jiang Rong saw this, she looked a little flustered. Isn't this the bracelet that her mother wore?
"This is something the informant gave me. He said it was found in the area where the demons had fought. And the casualties in that area were the same disciples who attacked your father. If your mother returns home, you can ask her about the bracelet and see what she says."

Ding Tianming's words sounded somewhat earnest, but he was secretly happy inside.

When Jiang Rong lowered her head to think, the old man couldn't help but look at Jiang Rong's beautiful figure, with a hint of intoxication in his eyes.

But people of his level recovered quickly.

When Jiang Rong looked over, she acted like an elder again.

"Thank you, Lord Ding, for telling me this. Jiang Rong is grateful for your kindness. I will definitely ask about it when my mother comes back."

Jiang Rong no longer wanted to make excuses, but she didn't confirm it either.

Because she felt that her mother was likely capable of doing such a thing.

"It's okay. I've known your father for many years. He's passed away. If you and your daughter really need help, just ask."

Ding Tianming laughed heartily, and it sounded like a righteous word.

The subtext is, if you and your daughter need my help, just come and beg me. If you don’t, how can I help you?
Jiang Rong was at a loss for a moment and could only wait for her mother to come back.

But before leaving, she continued to thank Ding Tianming.

After leaving Ding Mansion, Jiang Rong felt mixed emotions and the burden on her shoulders was so heavy.

In her opinion, Ding Tianming has helped the Jiang family a lot.

If the raw materials hidden by the Sun family cannot be found, the Jiang family will definitely lose a huge sum of wealth this time.

And it seemed that something had happened to his mother. Although he didn't know the details, he felt that Ding Tianming was not lying.

Because the Jiang family has declined, no strong person is willing to help the Jiang family and fight a bloody battle with those ferocious sect members.

You have to know that they were the group of people who massacred the entire Bitian Sect. Their fighting power was terrifying.

At least at Jiang Rong's level, she already felt that the other party was someone she couldn't afford to offend.

Their previous backer was just an elder of the Bitian Sect.

The strength of that elder was not as good as that of the leader of the Bitian Sect, and they were all slaughtered. Jiang Rong was also very angry at the time, but mostly she felt powerless.

Although my sister is a disciple of Yuxu Immortal Mansion, she is just an ordinary disciple. The elders and the like are unlikely to help her. The only people who can be asked are some fellow disciples, and these guys are not good enough.

In Jiang Rong's opinion, her mother must have made some kind of deal with the demon tribe to get them to help.

The demon race may have never appeared in the imperial capital, as there are simply too many powerful humans there.

But in places like this where there are many sects and many monsters, there are many monsters hiding.

These guys are very powerful, but Jiang Rong doesn't know why her mother was able to hire them.

Thinking about it, Jiang Rong returned to her own shop.

Not long after Jiang Rong left, a man appeared in Ding Mansion.

This man is full of the smell of money, yet he is still dignified.

"Brother Ding, I have spent a lot of money on you."

The person who spoke was Zhang Wanshan, president of Shanghe City Chamber of Commerce.

His appearance showed that the farce in the Chamber of Commerce just now was just an act.

What he said meant that he wanted to get benefits from Ding Tianming.

That's what businessmen are like, profit-driven.

It is good to sell favors, but favors are something that will depreciate, and people may not remember them after a long time.

According to Zhang Wanshan's personality, he basically asked for the favor on the spot.

That’s right, in the matter of suppressing the Jiang family, it was actually Ding Tianming who fanned the flames.

Of course, Zhang Wanshan can also get benefits, but the biggest benefit is actually in Ding Tianming's hands.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhang, please take a seat. Why are you being so polite to me? I'll get you what you want right away."

Ding Tianming is in a good mood now because he will get what he wants soon.

As the lord of Shanghe City, he actually has great power and a large number of subordinates.

Even though it was difficult to investigate a case where a sect was massacred, he had people planted in the sect and might still be able to find clues.

But Ding Tianming is not a kind-hearted person, he has a certain purpose in doing things.

He used to go to the Jiang Mansion often, and he didn't think much of Jiang Rong's father. In fact, he just had a crush on Jiang Rong's mother and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to her.

But I didn't think about possessing it at that time, I just wanted to take a look.

After all, if you want to survive in Shanghe City, you still have to have some dignity.

The Jiang family has people in the sect and the palace, so no one dares to fight to the death with them.

But it’s different now. The Jiang family is like a fish at the mercy of others, and Ding Tianming naturally wants to eat the fattest piece.

I thought to myself, after waiting for so many years, I finally got the chance.

Originally, his only target was Jiang Rong's mother, Xie Minjun. Ding Tianming had met her once and could never forget her.

He still remembers the unique charm that only a stunning mature woman has.

By the time Xie Minjun came to him for help, he had already thought of a solution.

But seeing Jiang Rong's growth made Ding Tianming even more moved. This girl also inherited her mother's plumpness, making her even more attractive.

So Ding Tianming decided to play the long game and catch the big fish, catching both mother and daughter and enjoying the best of both worlds.

He deliberately spread the news to Jiang Rong's mother a few days ago, but did not provide her mother with help.

Jiang Rong's mother had to find a way out on her own, and naturally contacted the demon clan.

He took the opportunity to seize this opportunity.

In addition, Zhang Wanshan was promised a generous reward, and only then did he agree to help.

In fact, Zhang Wanshan also had his eyes on the mother and daughter of the Jiang family, and wanted to take over the Jiang family's business.

But he knew that he couldn't afford it, and he was afraid that the Jiang family would be doomed to failure. The city lord Ding Tianming had already spoken, so he could only find a way to profit from it.

As long as the two of them join forces, the Jiang family will be able to face two of the three big mountains in Shanghe City.

They are the city lord Ding Tianming and the prefect behind Zhang Wanshan.

The next person was naturally the city supervisor. This city supervisor was very powerful. He was the emperor's confidant and came down to show off some merits. Ding Tianming really didn't dare to offend him, so he went to greet him on the day Lin Yue'e arrived.

You know, this city supervisor is famous in the imperial capital for being tyrannical! He dares to use the children of the rich and powerful to improve his performance! He is simply a ruthless person.

Ding Tianming had naturally also inquired about it. Since Lin Yue'e had the emperor's badge, she would definitely be a high-ranking official in the future, so she had to improve her performance now.

At that time, Ding Tianming was thinking, if the Jiang family told the city supervisor Lin Yue'e about this, what if Lin Yue'e really helped them?
Thinking of this, Ding Tianming came up with an idea. He sent someone to complain to Lin Yue'e first, so that Lin Yue'e would suspect the Jiang family first and investigate the Jiang family.

Then the Jiang family naturally didn’t dare to go to Lin Yue’e to complain.

In this case, the Jiang family will have to face the three big mountains of Shanghe City!

In this small piece of land of Shanghe City, being targeted by three of the most powerful people at the same time, no one can turn things around and can only wait for death.

At least among Ding Tianming's people, no one could remain alive and well under the pressure from the three of them.

Ding Tianming wanted to force the Jiang family into a desperate situation and then extend an olive branch, and the mother and daughter of the Jiang family would definitely come to her for help.

Since you are asking for it, do you have to pay a price?
I can't just do whatever you say.

Moreover, as the city lord, I have plenty of things, and you all know what the cost is.

This is Ding Tianming's perfect plan, and there is no loophole to be found.

The reason why it was so complicated was that Ding Tianming knew very well that once a woman had hatred in her heart, she would never forget it.

Just like Xie Minjun's revenge for her deceased husband, she also prepared for it for a long time.

He must convince these women so that he can sleep peacefully.

Otherwise, what should I do if these women take advantage of my unpreparedness and stab me or poison me?
If you don’t have good relationships with the people around you, who would dare to stay with you?

What's more, Jiang Rong's mother is a hidden master.

"You have been preparing this plan for a long time, right? But I'm very curious, how did you discover those people who massacred the Bitian Sect?" Zhang Wanshan expressed his doubts.

I still remember that the whereabouts of that group of people were very secretive. According to reliable information, the largest sect alliance nearby, Zixiao Heavenly Palace, also sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find them, so how did Ding Tianming find them?

However, Zhang Wanshan was also very envious of Ding Tianming's confident look on his face as he was about to take the Jiang mother and daughter for himself.

"This is fate. One of my men discovered it accidentally because he was a survivor of the bloodbath in the Bi Tian Sect."

Ding Tianming's statement was very reliable, and even Zhang Wanshan believed it 70%.

The remaining three points naturally suspected that those people were related to Ding Tianming.

But this is just a suspicion and there is no evidence.

But then again, he felt that Ding Tianming was really capable of doing such a thing.

The Ding family has extensive connections here, both in the black and white worlds, so he was able to secure his position as city lord.

Since Ding Tianming said so, Zhang Wanshan naturally continued to talk along with him and didn't dare to say anything else.

Zhang Wanshan came here not only to get a free meal, but mainly to ask for benefits.

He knew that Ding Tianming would not break his promise, but sometimes he had to make it clear. Ding Tianming actually had many tricks up his sleeve and had thought of many things. Anyway, the Jiang family mother and daughter would definitely not be able to escape this time.

On the other side, Jiang Rong returned to the shop with a sad face. She didn't know whether her mother had come back or not, so she had to find a way to investigate the Sun family.

Because Jiang Rong was considering that even if her mother did have contact with the demon, there was evidence, but since the Lincheng Supervisor hadn't caught the person, they couldn't convict her. In addition, with the help of City Lord Ding, as long as her mother didn't show up, this matter could be denied.

Even if the mother returns home, you can ask her to leave temporarily and wait until the storm has passed.

The top priority now is to make the Sun family pay the price.

As long as we find evidence that the Sun family has hoarded raw materials, the family will either resume supply or pay ten times the compensation.

But the question is, who should go?
Jiang Rong herself doesn't have much strength. Most of her family's businesses are in business, and there aren't any powerful people there.

The maid Xiao Cui is very strong, but she is not serious or meticulous enough in doing things and makes mistakes easily.

It would be great if my mother was here. She was the one who handled many things in the past, but now she’s in big trouble and it’s not easy for her to show up.

Just as Jiang Rong was thinking, a familiar person walked in.

"Ms. Jiang, that's not right. I should call you Miss now."

Lin Mo, the son of luck, won the first place in today's servant selection and officially became a servant of the Jiang family.

He came here just for Jiang Rong, so naturally he had investigated Jiang Rong and knew that Jiang Rong usually came here.

So now he can get close to Jiang Rong by using the identity of Jiang family's servant.

Of course, if Jiang Rong questioned why he came here, he had already found an excuse.

Jiang Rong's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Mo.

Aren’t I just lacking talents like Lin Mo?

Lin Mo is strong and capable, maybe he can do it.

Judging from Lin Mo's tone, he seemed to have become a servant of the Jiang Mansion.

Then, Jiang Rong began to greet Lin Mo and asked him about some of the servant tests.

Lin Mo repeated the content of today's final test and expressed his own judgment.

This made Jiang Rong feel more and more that Lin Mo was the right person to investigate.

Thinking of this, Jiang Rong told the Chamber of Commerce what happened, that is, the Sun family did not provide raw materials.

Finally, he added: "Lin Mo, if you can handle this matter well, I will promote you to housekeeper. If you don't want to go, it's okay, I will find another way."

Hearing this, Lin Mo was overjoyed.

He was just trying to find a way to please Jiang Rong, and now the opportunity came to him?

My luck is really amazing, whatever I want comes true.

This may be difficult for other people.

But Lin Mo felt that it was very simple for him. With his luck and judgment, he would find it in minutes.

Then you can show your abilities in front of Jiang Rong, gain her favor, and slowly build a closer relationship.

"Don't worry, Miss. Since I, Lin Mo, am a servant of the Jiang family, I will definitely do my part for the Jiang family. There is no need for a housekeeper or anything like that. I can just be a servant."

Lin Mo knew that if he said this, he would definitely get rewards and promotions, but he could also make Jiang Rong feel that he was just doing it for the sake of getting things done, and not for these things.

The servant's little tricks are simply perfect.

Seeing Jiang Rong's appreciative expression, Lin Mo felt that someone of his level coming to the Jiang family would be a dimensionality reduction attack.

By then, the Jiang family will definitely rely on him, so wouldn’t the Jiang family belong to him?

After the two discussed the details, Lin Mo left the store and began his own investigation.

As a son of destiny, he is not afraid of work or danger, but he is afraid of having nothing to do.

Before leaving, Lin Mo secretly glanced at Jiang Rong, thinking: You will be mine sooner or later!
According to the custom of business families, Jiang Rong would not put everything on a servant who had just joined the Jiang family.

Her sister is a disciple of Yuxu Immortal Mansion, so she can write a letter home and ask her sister to come over for help.

Thinking of this, it was getting late, so Jiang Rong returned to the Jiang family.

She was a step late, and when she got home, the maid was clearing the food from the table.

There were four pairs of bowls and chopsticks, apparently my aunt, sister-in-law and guests had just finished dinner.

But there was a smell in the room that made Jiang Rong feel very strange. Could it be that the soup and dishes had gone bad?
Isn’t that a guest from the imperial capital? How can we treat such a distinguished guest with bad hospitality?

By the way, guests from the imperial capital!
This gave Jiang Rong another plan. If the guest was of distinguished status, perhaps she could ask them for help.

In her opinion, these guests at least knew Concubine Yi, so their status should be not low.

The two guests had been here for three days, but she hadn't seen them yet.

Thinking of this, he walked to the east side of the backyard.

When I was about to reach the lighted yard, I saw my sister-in-law Dong Zhiqing carrying a few sets of clothes.

Jiang Rong stepped forward and called out to Dong Zhiqing, but her shouting frightened Dong Zhiqing so much that she almost dropped her clothes on the ground.

"Why are you carrying so many clothes? And what about the guests from the imperial capital?"

Hearing Jiang Rong's question, Dong Zhiqing was like a cat stealing fish. She didn't dare to look at her directly. Her eyes were a little evasive. She replied weakly, "Oh, the fabrics of these clothes are good. I plan to take them back and have them altered. The guests from the capital have already returned to their rooms to rest. You'd better not disturb them."

"Rest so early? Guests in the imperial capital really go to bed early and get up early. What about my aunt?"

"Mother-in-law just went out. Didn't you see her?"

Dong Zhiqing could only answer this way. She couldn't say, your aunt is sleeping with me.

These clothes are actually the props needed for today's role-playing, so that people can better integrate into the role.

Because today Jiang Ningyue suggested that Li Chen play the role of Dong Zhiqing's husband, then the role of Jiang Ningyue would be very exciting, and she was very excited just thinking about it.

Even Wu Nanzhi felt that the three of them were having a lot of fun.

So Wu Nanzhi also asked for a role, but her role was Concubine Yi, Jiang Ningyue's sister, which made Li Chen very interested.

"I haven't seen it yet. Then go back and get busy."

Jiang Rong felt that Dong Zhiqing knew very little at home and could not help much, so she did not tell her about her troubles and turned away.

In this way, Jiang Rong missed the opportunity to curry favor with someone else again.

It was not until Jiang Rong disappeared from the vicinity that the young wife Dong Zhiqing sneaked into Li Chen's room.

At the same time, in a hidden location outside Shanghe City.

Jiang Rong's mother, Xie Minjun, was hiding here to rest. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside, which made her look serious.

Several men nearby immediately grasped their weapons tightly, looking ready to fight.

"it's me."

As a familiar voice sounded, a tall and mighty figure appeared in front of Xie Minjun.

Seeing that it was him, Xie Minjun breathed a sigh of relief and told his men not to be nervous.

"City Lord Ding, why are you here?"

Xie Minjun and Ding Tianming know each other, and Ding Tianming has always been very caring towards the Jiang family.

She is also one of the few people who is willing to help the Jiang family after her husband's death, even if it is just a little help.

When Ding Tianming came here, he naturally continued to act.

After a brief chat, Ding Tianming sighed and said, "I know you really want to help Brother Jiang get revenge, but you shouldn't do this."

Xie Minjun pretended not to understand and asked, "City Lord Ding, what do you mean?"

Ding Tianming continued: "You asked those people to help, right? You don't have to explain to me, someone has already reported it to me."

Ding Tianming repeated what he and Jiang Rong had said.

As a good friend of Jiang Rong's father, he naturally helped the Jiang family keep it secret.

But the problem is that the new city supervisor is a greedy person. She also received a complaint and kept holding on to this matter and is investigating the Jiang family.

He described Lin Yue'e as a vicious and evil city supervisor, and himself as a person who was friendly to their Jiang family.

Then Ding Tianming began to hint that you, Xie Minjun, could leave, but what about your daughter? What about the business that your husband had worked so hard to build?

Don't you want all these?

Ding Tianming knew very well that Xie Minjun was a person who valued friendship and loyalty, and her daughter and family were her weaknesses.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to commit the heinous crime of communicating with demons just for revenge.

Don't say too much, Ding Tianming just came to remind you.

After Xie Minjun returned, he secretly gave the information to Lin Yue'e, and then asked the Chamber of Commerce to put pressure on them again.

The Jiang family will continue to fall into desperate situations.

Among the three high-ranking figures in Shanghe City, he was the only one who showed friendliness.

Then this mother and daughter would definitely ask him for help.

Ding Tianming felt that he was the life-saving straw that could save the mother and daughter of the Jiang family.

But how can I help so much without paying a price?

By then, won’t this mother and daughter be at his mercy?
