Yun Shang's face was extremely ugly, and he bowed to Emperor Yun again and again, while all the ministers around him looked at him indifferently.
It's not that he has a ghost in his heart and doesn't dare to let Emperor Yun search for his soul.
In fact, the secret technique of soul searching is too risky and has too many side effects.
Soul Search has a great impact on the soul. Once used, the person being searched will have a certain chance of becoming mentally disordered, losing part of their memory, and eventually becoming stupid.
Therefore, many soul searches are forced, and no one dares to reveal all their privacy to others.
"You have no other way to go. If you want to gain my trust, you must let me search for your soul." Emperor Yun looked at Yun Shang below and said indifferently: "Don't worry, as long as you don't resist, your spirit will not be disordered.
.”
This time, both princes participated in the rebellion, which made Emperor Yun lose trust in everyone.
So this time, Emperor Yun decided to use Yun Shang for surgery.
Yun Shang was struggling in his heart, and it took him a long time to grit his teeth and spit out one word: "Okay."
Emperor Yun nodded with satisfaction and immediately appeared in front of Yun Shang.
Yun Shang also raised his head to look at Emperor Yun, his expression returned to calmness, and he seemed to be relaxed.
Emperor Yun's eyes narrowed, he hesitated a little and couldn't bear it, but he still put his hand on Yun Shang's head.
The next moment, Emperor Yun used his secret soul-searching skill, and suddenly wisps of invisible breath connected Yun Shang's memory through his palms and skull.
Yun Shang suddenly felt uncomfortable and rolled his eyes.
And his memories flashed through Emperor Yun's mind like a slideshow.
In the crowd, Zhou Yuan stared at this scene intently.
In the past, he always thought that this soul-searching technique was a very profound and mysterious technique, but now it seems that he only thinks it is a simple secret technique.
In Xuanyuan Immortal Court, there are many classics that record such secret techniques.
They are all soul searching, but the methods are all kinds of strange. There are thousands of them recorded in the classics, and the quality is also uneven.
The one performed by Emperor Yun is the most direct and simple soul-searching technique.
After a while, Emperor Yun disconnected from Yun Shang's brain.
Yun Shang immediately felt exhausted and dizzy, and actually vomited on the spot.
"Shang'er, I'm sorry, my father wrongly blamed you." Emperor Yun quickly stepped forward to help Yun Shang up, and then ordered the people around him: "Quickly, help my son down to rest."
Two soldiers quickly came up and took the weak Yun Shang down.
At this point, all the military talismans of Shenlian Camp and Tianlian Camp were returned to the hands of Emperor Yun.
At this moment, Emperor Yun's power was highly concentrated.
Emperor Yun returned to the throne, looked at the courtiers below, and finally rested on Zhou Yuan.
"This time the rebellion was suppressed, the great country's soldiers took the lead and rescued me from the danger. They played an indispensable role. If you want any reward, just ask for it." Emperor Yun said to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan hurriedly walked out of the crowd, cupped his fists and said, "This is what I should do."
Emperor Yun thought for a while and said: "Well, Dong Xinghai has gained a lot of benefits from the royal family through Dong Guifei in recent years. I am afraid that most of the Xingyue Tower under him is stolen money and stolen goods. I ordered
How about you go investigate Dong Xinghai’s inheritance first?”
Upon hearing this, all the courtiers immediately looked at Zhou Yuan with envy on their faces.
Zhou Yuanze was also surprised and happy. What he said just now was just a courtesy. In fact, he had already had his mind set on Xingyue Tower.
Emperor Yun’s intention was to let him deal with everything in Xingyue Tower.
This in itself is equivalent to that everything in Xingyue Tower fell into his hands.
You must know that Xingyue Tower is the third largest force in Tianyun Kingdom after the royal family and Seven Stars Academy, but its wealth ranking is second, far above Seven Stars Academy and second only to the royal family.
If such a huge cornucopia falls into Zhou Yuan's hands, everyone who sees it will be greedy.
"Thank you, Lord, for the gift." Zhou Yuan's face was full of excitement and he immediately bowed to Emperor Yun.
He couldn't help but be excited. Such a money-making behemoth fell into his hands, which was enough for him to arm his family to the teeth.
With Xingyue Tower, the Zhou family will have a firm foothold in the imperial capital, and becoming the largest family will not be a problem.
On this day, Emperor Yun rewarded all meritorious ministers, including Yun Chen.
"Chen'er, after some time, I will issue an edict and pass the throne to you. You must be prepared to succeed." Emperor Yun said to Yun Chen.
When Yun Chen heard this, his expression fell into distress and his heart was tangled.
When Emperor Yun saw this, he couldn't help but frown, "What? You don't want to?"
Yun Chen immediately said: "Father, to be honest, I really don't want to inherit the throne. My dream is to have a higher martial arts. If possible, please pass the throne to my second brother."
"This..." Emperor Yun frowned even deeper.
He announced the matter in the court, but was directly rejected by Yun Chen in front of everyone.
As a result, it would be impossible for him to force a pass.
Now that Yun Zheng is dead and Yun Zhen is imprisoned in the sky prison and deprived of everything, only Yun Chen and Yun Shang are left. If Yun Chen doesn't want to, he can only choose Yun Shang.
Speaking of which, Yun Shang is smooth and extremely smart, so he is very suitable to be the next Emperor Yun.
"Okay, if you don't want to, I won't force you." Emperor Yun finally agreed reluctantly.
A few days later.
Zhou Yuan took Emperor Yun's edict with him and went to personally investigate and deal with the assets of Xingyue Tower.
In the backbone system of Xingyue Tower, the person with the highest status is the general owner Dong Xinghai, followed by the left and right envoys Xing Tianqi and Zhao Xin, and further down are the four Dharma Kings, namely You Kong, Youhua, Youtai, and Youquan.
But now, without exception, these backbones have all died in Zhou Yuan's hands.
The remaining ones are the general managers of Xingyue Building, the ten accounting elders, other elders, and the sub-building owners of each city.
When Zhou Yuan arrived with his entourage, these managers and elders all gathered in a palace-like hall in the main building.
The top ten accounting elders of Xingyue Tower manage the accounts of the entire Xingyue Tower respectively, and they treat Zhou Yuan with utmost respect.
On the contrary, those general managers, on the surface, flatter Zhou Yuan, but in fact, they all have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts. Xingyue Tower is involved in many industries, and these general managers manage these industries respectively.
Over the years, they have accumulated a lot of wealth through these industries.
Now that Zhou Yuan has arrived and wants to take away the empire they have built for half their lives, they are naturally very reluctant.
Looking at these old fools, Zhou Yuan sneered in his heart. Now that Xingyue Tower belongs to him, these general managers who occupy the majority will naturally be beaten down by him.
After a pause, Zhou Yuan said to several senior managers: "From now on, all the income earned by all industries involved in Xingyue Tower, except for costs, will only be allocated 10% of the remaining profits.
You distribute the reward, and the remaining 90% will belong to me, Zhou Yuan."
"This is a hard condition. If you are willing, you will stay and serve me from now on. If you are not willing, you can leave Xingyue Tower on your own. I will not stop you."
Zhou Yuan looked at the several chief managers and his tone was extremely firm.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several senior managers suddenly changed, and they were all full of reluctance.
Xingyue Building only uses 10% of its profits to pay them, which treats them as an employment relationship.
You must know that they did not have an employment relationship with Dong Xinghai before. The profits they accounted for reached as much as 40%. Now that 30% has been reduced in an instant, they are naturally extremely reluctant.
Zhou Yuan snorted coldly and said: "Xingyu Tower is now under my control, Zhou Yuan. If you are not convinced, you can leave."
Zhou Yuan had long made up his mind to build Xingyue Tower into his own family business, and it was impossible to have a cooperative relationship with them again.
"Impossible. How can you, an outsider, steal the business we have built over half our lives?"
A manager with a big belly and a fleshy face was very dissatisfied and pointed at Zhou Yuan and shouted.
After talking, several general managers also started to argue and were very dissatisfied with Zhou Yuan's decision. At first, they had illusions about Zhou Yuan, the new landlord, and they tried to flatter him in various ways.
But who knows whether Zhou Yuan will take the hard one or the soft one.
Wow!
Zhou Yuan immediately spread his hands and spread out the edict in his hand.
"This is the imperial edict written by Emperor Yun. All of Dong Xinghai's properties have now been confiscated and will be handled by me. If you are dissatisfied, it will be against the imperial edict. I have the right to enforce it." Zhou Yuan said coldly.
"Hmph, why should we confiscate the foundation we have worked so hard to build?"
"I'm not convinced. It's impossible for us to leave Xingyue Tower, and it's impossible for us to agree to your conditions."
"10% profit, are you sending beggars away?"
"Zhou Yuan, you are an outsider, and you are also an enemy of Xingyue Tower. You rank first on the Xingyue Tower kill list. I ask you to get out of Xingyue Tower."
All the managers turned their heads and started pointing at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan didn't say anything. He turned his hand over and held the long sword in his hand.
"Disobey the will and behead!"
Puff puff!
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword light roared in the hall, and immediately several managers fell to the ground with their heads bleeding.
The fussing stopped abruptly, and the two remaining stewards hugged each other, pale with fear.
They didn't expect that Zhou Yuan would be so strong and would kill people whenever they disagreed.
Zhou Yuan retracted his sword, his expression remained calm.
These general managers once followed Dong Xinghai and did countless bad things. Those small traders who operated with integrity were swallowed up by them and how many families were ruined.
Zhou Yuan had no intention of arguing with them about these matters, but they were all still dissatisfied.
"Who else wants to disobey the imperial edict?" Zhou Yuan said coldly.
The ten accounting elders and other elders were all as silent as a cicada, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
The remaining two chief managers looked horrified and knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Yuan, "We... agree to the new building owner's conditions and are willing to stay in Xingyue Building."
It is impossible to break away. They have been together for half their lives and have already had feelings for each other.
"Okay, let's close all the shops today and call everyone together. I have a meeting." Zhou Yuan ordered.
The two stewards immediately went to summon them.
Half an hour later, many people arrived in the hall one after another, including housekeepers from shops, accountants, directors of auction houses, major killers... managers from all walks of life, all arrived.
In the main hall, thousands of people raised their heads and looked at Zhou Yuan, all of them trembling with fear.
When new officials take office, they are all afraid that Zhou Yuan will deprive them of their jobs.
"Let's talk about the accounts of Xingyue Tower first." Zhou Yuan looked at the top ten accounting elders.
If you want to know how much wealth Xingyue Tower has in total now, checking the accounts is the best way.
The ten accounting elders did not dare to lie and explained all the accounts to Zhou Yuan in detail. Everyone else was also listening silently.
Xingyue Building has developed from a small shop in the beginning to become the largest force in Tianyun Kingdom. It has experienced a history of more than two hundred years, but its real explosive growth began when Dong Xinghai sent Concubine Dong Guifei to the palace.
Just over twenty years.
After calculation, the total assets of the Xingyue Building and the 108 branch buildings in various places are worth a total of 300 million spiritual stones.
Among them, the main building of the Imperial Capital accounts for the bulk, containing nearly 200 million spiritual stones.
Excluding Dong Xinghai's personal wealth, all walks of life have a total of 120 million worth of spiritual stones.
Dong Xinghai's personal wealth alone is worth nearly 80 million spiritual stones.
These 80 million spirit stones do not include the Najie that Zhou Yuan took from Dong Xinghai when he beheaded him that day.
This wealth is now at the disposal of Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan has already thought about it and decided to use it in the construction of his family. In the future, the Zhou family will continue to get liquid water through Xingyue Tower, and will also distribute dividends every year.
"From now on, Xingyue Tower will be completely renamed Xingyue Company, the slave market will be disbanded, the casino will be sold off, and the business of buying and selling murderers will be ended..."
After the ten accounting elders finished reporting the accounts, Zhou Yuan made his decision again.
