The manager of the Golden Inn and the owner of the casino were just two dogs of Zhi Ning and Zhi Li, but they had been working for many years.
Søren's influence was too small for Zhi Ning to kill these two dogs.
It should be noted that the fat shopkeeper of the Golden Ship wasn't lying. Even though he didn't have a noble title, the Earls were all very polite in front of him. They even tried to curry favor with him. There was no other reason than that he was the closest person to the prince.
Søren was just an heir to the count's title, and one that was about to die. To say that he wanted to kill these two people close to Zhi Li was really ignorant.
But since Søren said so, Duke Linting did not want to be meddlesome. He stopped smiling and said, "You proposed in King's College that the kingdom's expansion strategy should be to develop the navy and attack the heart of the Wild Plains in the south, right?"
Lan Ling said, "Yes."
Duke Hang Ting said, "Hidehiko has submitted your proposal to the royal family and the cabinet. Recently, there has been a lot of debate. Zhi Li insisted on entering the Wild Plains through the Wild Canyon and continue to expand. But I insisted on developing the navy and attacking the Wild Plains from the sea. These two viewpoints have been arguing fiercely. Feng Li and I are almost irreconcilable. For the sake of your family's ten thousand gold coins, I've really lost more than I gained. "
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Lan Ling bowed and said.
Duke Linting said, "Do you know what the key to saving the Suo clan is?"
Lan Ling said, "I am His Majesty."
"Yes, don't think that Zhi Li and I are arguing fiercely. In fact, everything depends on His Majesty." Duke Linting said, "Do you know what it means if His Majesty chooses the direction of developing the navy?"
Lan Ling said, "This means that His Majesty the King has sent a signal that Prince Zhi Li's position as the Crown Prince is in danger, so you can lose this battle, but Prince Zhi Li cannot lose."
Duchess Yanting nodded and said, "That's right. Zhi Li can't lose. Of course, your Suo Clan can't lose either. Between me and Zhi Li, who do you think has a higher chance of winning? "
Lan Ling said, "Prince Zhi Li."
The Duchess asked, "Why? Tell me about it. "
Lan Ling said, "Because once the Raging Wave Kingdom develops its navy, not only can it directly attack the heart of the Wild Plains, but it can also attack the important cities of the Yan Empire in the north. Many cities in the Yan Empire were located along the coast, and they lacked adequate defenses. Therefore, as long as the strategy of developing the navy is used, it will alert the Yan Empire, which means that the Raging Wave Kingdom's strategy of keeping a low profile against the Yan Empire will end. And now, the Raging Wave Kingdom does not have the strength to challenge the Yan Empire. "
Hearing this, Duke Linting was completely shocked.
Was this still the black sheep Søren? Was this still the ignorant and incompetent playboy? How could he have such foresight and wisdom?
"Did you think of this?" Duke Linting asked.
"No, it was my sister." Lan Ling said.
Duke Linting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately it was your sister, or you would be in danger."
That's right, if the son of a duke was so wise, and was also the enemy of the royal family, even the king would not tolerate it.
After all, the dukes were not ordinary nobles, they were semi-independent forces.
Then, Duke Linting said, "Since you have already seen it, then let me tell you, in about two or three days, His Majesty's decree will come. Let's wait together!"
Then, Duke Linting suddenly said, "Did you threaten the two dogs of Zhi Li?"
Lan Ling nodded and said, "Yes."
Linting said, "Then you have to be careful. These two dogs have countless masters under them, and they are very ruthless. They may not dare to kill you, but they will kill the people around you."
Lan Ling said, "If there is no accident, they will die soon, and Zhi Ning will kill them."
Duke Linting was shocked, and once again, she did not believe it.
…
At this time, Princess Zhi Ning was still lying lazily by the water, reading a book.
In one hand was a fish feed, and in the pond were many beautiful and rare goldfish.
In the other hand was a book, but his eyes were not on the book.
In front of him, there were two people bowing. One was the manager of the gold inn, and the other was the owner of the casino.
Commandery Princess Jinning said lazily, "It's not your fault that we lost this battle. It's because I didn't set a deep trap and let that foppish playboy Sauron jump out. That idiot is not completely useless."
Immediately, the two bowed deeply and said, "Your Highness, we are very grateful for your magnanimity."
In front of the nobles of the kingdom, even in front of high-ranking nobles like the count, these two were arrogant. The manager of the gold inn looked more amiable than anyone else, and always had a smile on his face, but his eyes were always high and mighty.
Over the years, as Prince Zhi Li's position as the heir to the throne became clearer, the two also rose in status, and now they had become big shots in Royal City. Like an underground emperor, even the aristocratic families had to avoid him.
Just as the owner of the casino had said, his two bodyguards were both Dragon Warriors. How many Dragon Warriors were there in the whole kingdom?
But now, in front of Princess Zhi Ning, these two were as obedient as dogs.
Even though Zhi Ning's curves were extremely alluring, even though Zhi Ning's face was extremely beautiful, and even though these two were the most lecherous people, they did not even dare to lift their eyelids, and only dared to look at their feet.
The manager of the gold inn smiled and said, "I have a joke for Your Highness, Your Highness."
Zhi Ning said, "I am not Your Highness. There is only one Royal Highness in the kingdom now, and that is Princess Jung Yeon, who is cultivating in the Dragon Temple."
The manager of the gold inn said, "But everyone knows that His Majesty and Princess Jung Yeon are not close. Instead, you are like his own daughter, and he listens to you."
Zhi Ning frowned slightly, as if she did not like hearing these words. She said lightly, "What joke? Tell me."
Shopkeeper Jin Hao said, "When Sauron returned the money, he even threatened to kill our entire family, and before tomorrow, he would kill our entire family."
Zhi Ning said, "He probably wants to bribe Yan Jiting, and then instigate in front of Yan Jiting, saying that you have attacked Duke Yan Jiting's cause, and that he wants Yan Jiting to come and kill you."
The manager of the gold inn said, "Your Highness is wise."
Zhi Ning sneered and said, "Yan Jiting's good days are numbered. These days, he has been too ruthless. His methods are dirty, but your methods are even dirtier. He cannot kill you. Yan Jiting will not be able to bypass us if he uses his power. If he uses dirty methods, he will be at a disadvantage. Søren is dreaming if he wants to kill us with a borrowed knife. "
The manager of the gold inn said, "What ability do we have? It is all thanks to the protection of His Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Princess. We only have the ability to use our connections to intimidate others."
At this moment, a eunuch came in and said, "Your Highness, Søren has sent a letter. It has been tested for poison."
Zhi Ning said, "Bring it in."
Following this, Zhi Ning stretched out her hand, and a servant came forward to help her put on a pair of thin and soft gloves.
Zhi Ning was a neat freak. She looked down on everyone and was unwilling to touch anyone's belongings.
She took the letter from (Søren) Lan Ling and saw a few words written on it: Zhi Ning, please kill your two dogs.
Princess Zhi Ning waved the letter at the two men and said, "Look, Søren wants me to kill the two of you."
The manager of the gold inn and the boss of the casino immediately laughed and said, "This foppish son of a b * tch is really stupid. Her Highness dotes on us servants so much that even if we do something wrong, she will only reprimand us."
Princess Zhi Ning revealed a beautiful smile, indicating that she accepted the two men's flattery. Then, she took out the letter and read it.
"Zhi Ning, why is your gold inn so big? The key lies in the special anti-counterfeiting technology. None of the gold banknotes issued by your gold inn can be forged. Therefore, the other gold inn also needs to store a large amount of gold coins and silver coins in your vault, and then use your gold banknotes and silver banknotes to conduct large transactions. "
Yes, it was indeed so. The reason why Zhi Li and Zhi Ning's gold inn could run amok in the world was because of the special anti-counterfeiting technology of the gold banknotes. No one could crack it. Therefore, the gold banknotes issued by their gold inn could be circulated in the world.
This was equivalent to Zhi Li and Zhi Ning's gold inn having the right to issue banknotes.
The letter continued, "Of course, I can't crack your anti-counterfeiting technology either. But I know your anti-counterfeiting technology very well. If I tell the other gold inn about this anti-counterfeiting technology, and your gold inn loses its unique right to issue banknotes, will it still be as powerful as it is today? "
The content of Lan Ling's letter ended there. It did not say what Zhi Ning's anti-counterfeiting technology was at all.
However, Zhi Ning's expression changed. She scattered all the fish food in her hand into the pond, immediately got up, and walked into her secret room.
In the secret room, she opened the tightly packed cabinets layer by layer. There was a special crystal stone inside that emitted a purple light.
Zhi Ning used this purple crystal to shine on the letter. Seven large words appeared on the originally blank letter paper. They shone with a green light and were extremely clear and dazzling.
"Zhi Ning, you bitch!"
This was the unique anti-counterfeiting technology of the gold inn issued gold banknotes, the principle of ultraviolet light!
This purple crystal stone was a natural ultraviolet light. The last seven words on the letter paper were written in blood and then washed clean with water. On the surface, there was nothing. However, under the ultraviolet light, these residual blood words would emit a dazzling fluorescence.
Even the banknotes on modern earth, in addition to watermarks, also used ultraviolet anti-counterfeiting technology. Under the illumination of the ultraviolet light, certain parts would show a dazzling fluorescence.
The gold banknotes issued by Zhi Li and Zhi Ning were divided into a total of three layers.
The middle layer used special blood to remove a special password, and there were complicated patterns. After rinsing it clean, the middle layer was clamped with two layers of paper and completely glued together.
Therefore, when these gold banknotes entered the capital inn, Zhi Ning only needed to shine with the purple crystal to know whether they were real or fake. She also knew when this gold banknote was issued and who it belonged to.
Lan Ling inadvertently discovered this secret while playing with the gold banknotes in front of the sunlight.
Then, he thought of the ultraviolet anti-counterfeiting technology of banknotes on Earth, and then thought that Zhi Ning probably used this technology.
After discovering this secret, Lan Ling originally wanted to forge the gold banknotes directly, but he found that it was impossible. This was because the special lines of the gold banknotes were completely consistent with the dark light password in the interlayer, and there was a corresponding password in the gold inn.
Without understanding this set of password, there was no way to forge it. Even the paper used in the gold inn was unique, and Lan Ling could not forge it.
However, he could threaten to make this unique anti-counterfeiting technology public, so that Zhi Li's capital inn could not monopolize the right to issue the gold banknotes, which was a huge harm.
Of course, this harm was to harm others without benefiting himself. Therefore, Lan Ling used this to threaten Zhi Ning to kill the two dogs with his own hands.
Princess Zhi Ning looked at the last few words that were glowing green and was completely stunned.
How was this possible? How could a good-for-nothing like Søren know the core secret of her gold inn?
Once she lost the right to issue the gold banknotes, her gold inn would be greatly affected. And this gold inn was Zhi Li's biggest money bag. Without an astronomical amount of money, how could Zhi Li bribe the nobles and secretly develop his forces?
Then, Zhi Ning's beautiful face instantly turned livid and even twisted, and she suddenly tore the letter into pieces.
