บท 117: Chapter 117
Shen Lang said indignantly, "Xu Qianqian, don't go too far. This is related to the livelihood of 100,000 people."
Xu Qianqian sneered, "That's also the business of Xuan Wu Mansion. It has nothing to do with us."
Shen Lang said, "Xu Guangyun, Xu Qianqian, have you forgotten the lesson I taught you before? Why did you provoke me again? "
Xu Qianqian said disdainfully, "That's right. We have been defeated by you again and again before. Our reputation is ruined. But so what? Did you hurt a single hair of ours? "
Not really.
Xu Qianqian sneered, "So your victory is just a spiritual victory, a false prosperity. Did you change the predicament of Xuan Wu Mansion? Not at all. Eighty thousand people besieged Xuan Wu Mansion from all sides. Instead, it became more fierce. "
Xu Guangyun picked up a cup of tea and took a light sip before he said, "Shen Lang, you did obtain a complete victory during the engagement ceremony earlier. But what did you get? It was just a moment of happiness. Other than that, you got nothing. My Xu family has a bad reputation, but Qianqian has married herself. I have also thought it through. What do I need such a good reputation for? I am a big businessman. Making money is enough. "
"Shen Lang, didn't you ask us what gave us the confidence to provoke you again?" Xu Guangyun suddenly shouted, "Take a look, what is this?"
Shen Lang couldn't help but look at the hall.
There was a plaque hanging there, with four golden characters: Xu Xiu Tiannan.
Looking at the inscription, it turned out to be given by the Crown Prince himself.
No wonder every character was made of gold. Xu Guangyun spent hundreds of pounds of gold on these four characters.
This was a supreme honor, a huge protective talisman.
Compared with the calligraphy personally given by the Crown Prince, the reputation of the Xu family was ruined.
"This is the source of our confidence!" Xu Qianqian said proudly, "We still need to thank you, Shen Lang. It is precisely because of your new golden dye formula that we have today. The silk dyed with your new formula is golden and luxurious. It is much more outstanding than before. The Crown Prince and the other members of the royal family look especially noble when they wear it. They surpass the royal family of other countries in terms of spirit, energy, and spirit. The Crown Prince was overjoyed and bestowed him a treasure of calligraphy. "
"It can be said that without you, Shenlang, there wouldn't be any reward from the Crown Prince. I'm really grateful, but you won't get this credit. We'll take away your golden dye recipe, and you won't have to pay a single gold coin. "Xu Guangyun said," This is the real benefit. What did you get? "
Shen Lang was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and his face was red.
Xu Qianqian said, "Shen Lang, now we want to force you to hand over the purple dye recipe and rainbow dye recipe, but we still won't give you half a gold coin, you have to give them to us for free."
Shen Lang angrily rebuked, "You're daydreaming!"
Xu Qianqian said, "Then you just wait for those moths to break out of their cocoons. Time is very tight. In the entire Tiannan Province, even in the entire State of Yue, no one will collect your cocoons. Unless you pay for the farmers' cocoons, but do you have a workshop? Can you spin silk? Can you weave silk? "
Xu Guangyun said, "The nearly one hundred thousand people of Xuan Wu Mansion rely on silk to make a living. If no one collects the cocoons, your Xuan Wu Mansion will have no tax revenue. Cutting off the money supply is a small matter. The most important thing is how to feed these one hundred thousand people. If you can't feed them, these one hundred thousand mouths will eat all of you. If one hundred thousand people starve, it will incite a revolt. "
Once there is a revolt in Xuan Wu Mansion, Taishou Prefecture and the Governor's Office will immediately intervene. At that time, the situation will quickly collapse.
Xu Qianqian said, "Unless your Xuan Wu Mansion pays for the food to feed these one hundred thousand people. But with your current financial situation, can you afford it? "
"Shen Lang, you are very smart. I believe you are clear about the consequences."
Shen Lang said with a trembling voice, "In order to block the economy of Xuan Wu Mansion, you are really spending a lot of money. Governor Zhu Jung personally ordered this, right?"
Xu Qianqian sneered, "Surrounding Xuan Wu Mansion with eighty thousand people, do you think this is a joke?"
Then, Xu Qianqian said, "Shen Lang, stop struggling. Hand over the purple dye recipe and rainbow dye recipe. We are willing to buy the cocoons of your people at half price. "
"Half price?" Shen Lang exclaimed, "Xu Qianqian, don't go too far. You are demanding an exorbitant price."
"Yes, half price." Xu Qianqian said.
Once the cocoons were bought at half price, the tax paid to the Count House would definitely be gone, and the money would only be enough for the farmers to buy food to fill their stomachs.
"In your dreams, you are dreaming." Shen Lang shouted, "I don't believe that you are the only one buying cocoons."
Then, Shen Lang slammed the door and left, looking flustered and exasperated.
Xu Qianqian said lightly, "Shen Lang, I will give you three days to think about it."
…
After returning to Xuan Wu Mansion, Shen Lang's anger disappeared without a trace.
He played chess with his wife leisurely.
He won one game after another.
"Wife, I have an interesting question. Why don't you guess it?" Shen Lang said.
"I won't guess! I won't listen!" Mulan wouldn't be fooled again.
Shen Lang said, "There was a group of people who went to the dairy to milk the cow. Everyone else squeezed out a big bucket, but Xiao Bing only squeezed out half a bowl. Can you guess why?"
Mulan's face turned red and she didn't say a word.
Xiao Bing, who was next to her, asked, "Young Master, is it because the cow I milked produced less milk? "
Shen Lang said, "No, it's because you milked the wrong cow. You milked a bull."
Xiao Bing was stunned. "Young Master, you are talking nonsense. A bull has no milk."
"Alright, Xiao Bing, just ignore him." Mulan said.
After a while, Xiao Bing finally reacted. She stomped her foot and said, "Young Master, you're so annoying. You're so annoying. I won't talk to you anymore."
Then, Xiao Bing threw a punch at Shen Lang. As she moved, the two rabbits shook vigorously.
'How could she be so fierce at such a young age?
Mulan couldn't stand it and turned her face away.
"Young Master, you're so annoying. I'll beat you to death. I'll beat you to death!" Xiao Bing's eyes were watery as she hit him.
Her seductive look made people fall for her. Shen Lang couldn't control his hand and took the opportunity to pinch Xiao Bing's chest.
Xiao Bing's delicate body trembled. She looked at Shen Lang in disbelief. Her whole body was red.
"You're so annoying!" Then, she moved even faster. She pouted and kissed Shen Lang on the cheek before running away.
Mulan's back was facing them the whole time.
That was why the adulterous couple was so daring.
When Mulan turned around, Shen Lang said with a serious face, "Wife, I was just teasing her. I mainly thought she was stupid."
It was as if he hadn't done anything just now.
Mulan said, "Husband, I think you need to train your body again today. Let's go play the Six Animals Frolics."
Shen Lang felt like he had been struck by lightning. He exclaimed, "Why? I didn't do anything. It was just a joke, and you still want to punish me? Jin Mulan, don't you think you're going too far? "
Jin Mulan didn't say anything. She pointed at a certain place.
There was a glazed object there. It was so smooth that it could reflect a person's reflection. It was like a deformed mirror.
Even though their backs were facing each other, Mulan clearly saw the actions of the adulterous couple, Shen Lang and Xiao Bing.
"Ah …" Shen Lang's scalp went numb.
He had been hunting geese all day, but today he was pecked in the eye. What an injustice!
A jealous woman was, of course, a terrible thing.
Then, the whole yard was filled with Shen Lang's screams like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah … ah … ah …"
"Wife, gentler, gentler …"
"Wife, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I won't dare to do it again!"
After another ten rounds of Six Animals Frolics, Shen Lang was once again tormented to the point where he wished he was dead.
…
The next day, a sorrowful Shen Lang went to talk to the Big Fool.
"Big Fool, I heard that the Grandmaster is taking you to the mountains to practice martial arts?" Shen Lang asked.
The Big Fool nodded. "Yes, Master said he would take me as his last disciple. What's a last disciple?"
Shen Lang was jealous. That was the Grandmaster's position. It meant that he would spend the rest of his life training the Big Fool.
He said, "A last disciple means that you are responsible for closing the door every night when Master sleeps."
The Big Fool thought deeply and said, "So this is a last disciple. Two Dumb, you are smart."
Shen Lang sighed. "Big Fool. If a man is not strong, he really has no status at home. He is always bullied by women."
The Big Fool said, "Two Dumb, you were bullied by Miss Mulan again?"
What? Even you, the Big Fool, know about this?
Shen Lang nodded and said, "So as a man, we must be strong. We can't let women climb over our heads and abuse us. As a man, we must be brave after being ashamed. A man should be self-reliant. "
The Big Fool was very pleased. He also felt that his brother's body was too weak. Now that he was going to be self-reliant, he was very happy as a brother.
Shen Lang tried his best to tiptoe and patted the Big Fool's shoulder. "So, Big Fool, you must practice martial arts well. One day, when you are super powerful, you must think of a way to pass your martial arts to me. That way, I can turn over and become the master. I won't be bullied by my wife."
The Big Fool was stunned.
After a long while, he seemed especially serious and said with force, "Okay, I will definitely practice hard and become very powerful. Then I will pass my martial arts to you."
This time, Shen Lang was really stunned!
Because the Big Fool's words were like an oath, full of ceremony.
Jin Mucong, who was walking over, suddenly said, "Big Fool, then how about you pass some of your martial arts to me?"
The Big Fool thought for a while and said, "No, I can't pass my martial arts to you, Three Dumb."
Jin Mucong didn't reject this form of address. He said unwillingly, "Why? We are also good friends. "
The Big Fool said, "Because there will always be someone who wants to beat Two Dumb."
Immediately, Shen Lang was unhappy. You … What kind of nonsense are you spouting?
Aren't you implying that I like to stir up trouble?
Big Fool, I suspect that you are playing dumb.
…
There was only one day left until the three days given by Xu Qianqian.
The cocoons of the 100,000 people in Xuan Wu Mansion were still not collected. These people were getting more and more anxious.
Every day there was a new rumor.
They said that Son-in-Law Shen Lang didn't want to help them.
They said that no one in the entire State of Yue would collect their cocoons, so they could only be kept at home.
They said that someone wanted to starve the 100,000 people in Xuan Wu Mansion to death.
The situation was getting more and more tense.
Every day, Xu Qianqian complacently watched the situation in Xuan Wu Mansion deteriorate.
She imagined that Shen Lang was in pain and anxiety every day.
She was right.
Because the next day, Xiao Bing tried every means to seduce him. At first, she just kissed him secretly, and then she rubbed her chest against him.
But Shen Lang didn't dare to respond too much.
He could see that before he slept with Mulan, he must not sleep with Xiao Bing.
And to sleep with Mulan, he needed an explosive point to explode their love for each other to the extreme.
However, Lil Bing, that loose lass, was trying every possible way to seduce him, causing Shen Lang to be extremely troubled and anxious.
I didn't know that Xiao Bing was such a woman before.
What were you doing earlier?
Don't be so evil on the first night. How can your son-in-law's right hand have calluses?
…
Every day, there were more and more people kneeling outside Xuan Wu Mansion.
Early this morning, there were thousands of people kneeling outside the fief.
But no one made trouble or even shouted. They just knelt outside.
Of course, Count Count wouldn't drive these people away. Instead, he sent them food and water.
The Black Tortoise Count's Manor was very popular. Even in such a situation where everyone was in a state of panic, there was no uprising.
But people were also very realistic.
If no one collected the cocoons for a while, these farmers would have no money to buy food, which would lead to a disaster.
The consequences of 100,000 people starving were unimaginable.
The anger of 100,000 people was enough to swallow the whole Xuan Wu Mansion.
Unless Xuan Wu took out all the money to buy food to feed these 100,000 people.
Shen Lang gathered his emotions for a while and walked out of the Count House again.
The moment he went out, his face became extremely sad and painful.
…
Shen Lang didn't go to Xu Guangyun's house, but to Lin Mo's house in Splendid Court.
"Lin, I want to make a deal with you, how about it?" Shen Lang: "I will give you the purple and rainbow dye formulas for free. After you get these two formulas, your business will become very popular. You will surpass the Xu family and become the number one silk merchant in Tiannan Province."
The face of Lin Mo, the owner of Splendid Court, was full of modesty and pride.
A few days ago, when Lin Zhuo had an accident, he was also very anxious. He was afraid that the engagement between his son and the young lady of Count Chingan House would be canceled. If that happened, the Lin family would return to its original state.
In Lin Mo's view, Lin Zhuo did such a scandal, Chingan Count Wu Zhaozhong would definitely tear up the marriage contract.
But he didn't expect that after Lin Zhuo went to Count Chingan House and knelt for two hours and cried in front of Chingan Count for half an hour, the crisis was actually resolved.
The engagement continued.
But when Lin Zhuo came back, there was a deep wound on his neck, almost cutting his aorta.
Lin Mo was ecstatic, but he was also puzzled. What were these big shots thinking? Such a big scandal happened, but they acted as if nothing had happened.
But Lin Zhuo was fine, but Shen Lang was in trouble.
Lin Mo, of course, also knew that it was Shen Lang who framed his son, Lin Zhuo.
But he had always been a person with a sweet mouth and a dagger in his heart. He didn't like to be too fierce on the surface.
Eighty thousand people besieged Xuan Wu Mansion from all sides and blockaded Xuan Wu Mansion. Although his Lin family was only a supporting role, they also had a part in it.
Seeing Shen Lang in trouble, Lin Mo felt very satisfied.
"Son-in-law Shen Lang, those two formulas are priceless. You want to give them to me for free?" Lin Mo smiled.
Shen Lang said, "Yes."
Lin Mo said, "What's the condition?"
Shen Lang said, "Ask Lin to buy the silkworm cocoons from the farmers in my family's fief."
Lin Mo said, "Son-in-law Shen Lang, are you begging me?"
Shen Lang said in grief and indignation, "Yes, I'm begging you. This concerns the livelihood of a hundred thousand people. The heavens are merciful. Please, Lin, have mercy."
Shen Lang begged as he calculated in his heart.
The incubation period of those viruses was generally about two weeks. In a few days, the viruses in Lin Zhuo's body would probably take effect.
That scene was really something to look forward to.
"Hahaha …" Lin Mo finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He laughed and said, "Shen Lang, you also have this day. You also have this day? Weren't you omnipotent before? Weren't you very arrogant before? When you harmed my son, Lin Zhuo, did you think that this day would come? When you caused my Splendid Court to close for a month, did you think that this day would come? "
"The heavens have eyes. Finally, it's Shen Lang's turn to be cornered!"
Shen Lang said in grief and indignation, "Lin, are you going to watch the hundred thousand people in my fief starve to death?"
Lin Mo said lightly, "So what? I'm not the one starving to death. I'm looking forward to the hundred thousand starving people devouring your Xuan Wu Mansion alive. "
Shen Lang pointed at Lin Mo and said with a trembling voice, "You … You're so vicious!"
Lin Mo said lightly, "Same to you! Men, see the guest out! "
The dejected Shen Lang was driven out by Lin Mo.
This scene was quickly reported to the Xu family.
Xu Qianqian smiled proudly, "This little bastard can't hold on any longer. Tomorrow at the latest, he'll come begging to us."
Xu Guangyun said, "He's trash after all. At the critical moment, he still gave himself away."
…
At night, in Xuan Wu Mansion.
Shen Lang said lightly, "The show is finally almost done. We'll wrap it up tomorrow. Wife, you'll have to help me with what's coming up. "
Mulan nodded.
Then, Shen Lang carefully used a needle to tear open a hole in each cocoon. Then, he poured the white powder that had been soaked in water into these cocoons. Then, he closed the holes in the cocoons. It looked like there was no trace of it, and the cocoons were still intact.
Mulan's movements were faster and more careful than Shen Lang's.
"Husband, what kind of powder is poured into the cocoons? I've never seen it before! "Mulan said.
Shen Lang said lightly, "White phosphorus!"
That's right, white phosphorus!
White phosphorus will burn when it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. It almost doesn't need any trigger conditions.
Once these cocoons with white phosphorus are transported into the Xu family's workshop, what will happen? It doesn't need a lot, a few hundred is enough, mixed in the countless cocoons.
Under the high temperature, they will burn fiercely and can't be extinguished.
The entire workshop will be set ablaze, along with the astronomical amount of silk and silk.
Because Xu Qianqian married Zhang Jin, this time the Xu family expanded crazily, almost monopolizing the entire Tiannan Province's cocoons.
Almost all of the family's assets have been invested.
When the time comes, the fire will soar to the sky, how gorgeous and how destructive it will be!
