Dragon's Origin

Chapter 382: Wang Sheng Also Passes the Buck (Part 2)

Of these two batches of crucial materials, the Marquis’s estate controlled two, and the Old Lord Temple controlled three. They were independent of each other. Except for Wang Sheng and Mei’er, no one knew each other’s formulas and techniques. It was truly a situation where no one could be missing.

With such a rigorous chain built, did they really think they could get their hands on Rougefragrance Workshop by controlling one or a few points? Dream on. Breaking one point meant breaking the entire chain, making it impossible to connect.

Whether it was the first group of people who took action or those who later occupied the estate, they all took it for granted that seizing the production site of Rougefragrance Workshop would solve everything. They were truly too naive. Without suppliers, without transportation teams, without crucial materials, wanting to produce authentic Rougefragrance Workshop products was just a pipe dream!

Rougefragrance Workshop itself had enough goods in stock for about a month’s sales. Plus, with limited sales, it could last for two months without any problems. However, those who seized the estate were stuck. They couldn’t produce anything, and they had already offended countless people during the seizure. There was only investment and no output. Wasn’t that a waste of effort?

What was even more terrifying was that, in order to obtain the Emperor’s approval, they had argued all night that night to determine their respective shares, totaling a whole 100 million gold coins! Although it was split among thirty or forty families, with some having more and some having less, on average, each family had at least two million gold coins, and some had as much as ten million gold coins! If they couldn’t earn it back, the people in charge of each faction wouldn’t know how to explain it to their masters.

Immediately, everyone’s attention turned to the three estates responsible for the pre-processing of raw materials. Could it be that the forces controlling these three estates were colluding to cause trouble? Not providing raw materials, did they want everyone to starve?

Initially, the forces controlling the three estates tried to explain, but no matter how they explained, no one believed them. Even the estates they themselves occupied couldn’t produce anything. This was also regarded as a facade to deceive everyone, all in order to monopolize the raw materials.

After a few days, these families were too lazy to even explain. There was no point in explaining if no one believed them, so why bother?

At first, everyone was relatively restrained, but no matter how they bought raw materials, they eventually discovered that they were missing several crucial materials that the villagers couldn’t name. Some people almost couldn’t help but take action. Finally realizing the serious consequences of taking action, everyone suppressed their anger and continued to look for solutions.

Some resorted to torturing the villagers to get results, while others went directly to the largest princes to demand an explanation. Under the suppression of Prince Cheng, who had the highest seniority and prestige, everyone forcibly suppressed their anger and planned to find a solution.

Everyone gathered together, just like when they discussed quotas that night, and began to discuss how to solve the current problem.

No one was a fool. At this point, everyone sat down face-to-face, calmed down, and talked frankly. They immediately realized that it wasn’t that everyone was scheming against each other, but that from the very beginning of their actions, they hadn’t realized that the industrial chain of Rougefragrance Workshop was unusually rigorous, with each link so closely intertwined.

The root of everything turned out to be that barbarian they had always looked down upon, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Everyone had pooled 100 million gold coins to buy this entry qualification, the qualification to silence the Emperor. Was it all going to be in vain because of the previous arrangements of this so-called Marquis of Ever Victorious?

“Kill him!” Someone had already shouted excitedly.

“Can killing him find the formula and those crucial materials?” Someone was excited, but someone else was relatively calm and immediately retorted.

Of course not! How could they find the formula if they killed him? At this time, if Wang Sheng was smart, he would have already hidden everything that should be hidden. Would he wait for them to come to his door to kill and steal the formula? If Wang Sheng was really that stupid, everyone wouldn’t be sitting here at a loss.

“Send experts to capture him and torture him severely!” Someone came up with this method in desperation: “Or capture that female shopkeeper. I don’t believe he won’t care about his woman.”

If they really wanted to discuss it, this method was the most feasible, at least there was a chance to obtain the real formula. For a time, everyone began to be tempted and began to study this method.

The Marquis’s estate was not just any place. Everyone knew how many guards Wang Sheng and Mei’er had hired. Leaving that aside, taking large-scale action within the capital was a headache in itself. The Emperor could tolerate everyone making trouble outside the city, but would he tolerate everyone doing this in the capital?

If he nodded to taking action in the Marquis’s estate today, what would the Emperor do if someone wanted to take action in the palace tomorrow? Could the Emperor agree to this bottom line? But how could they attack Wang Sheng without crossing this line?

Just when everyone was having a headache, someone suddenly sent over the latest news that seemed to be good news—Wang Sheng and Mei’er had left the Marquis’s estate with guards, and they had left the capital.

As long as they weren’t in the capital, everything would be easy. Everyone cheered up, waiting for the latest news, and prepared to arrange manpower.

But before they could finish preparing, the new news came, and everyone wailed at the same time. Wang Sheng took Mei’er to the Old Lord Temple.

Even if the courage of this group of people was multiplied by ten, they wouldn’t dare to go wild in the Old Lord Temple. How could they have the confidence to break into the Old Lord Temple, a place that even the three royal chief offerings had to shake their heads and sigh at?

This Wang Sheng must have anticipated that everyone would take action against him, so he couldn’t wait to escape to the Old Lord Temple. It must be so! Good! You have the ability to huddle in the Old Lord Temple for the rest of your life. As long as you come out, so many experts will definitely let Wang Sheng know what blood sea drifting fragrance is.

A group of people waited indignantly for Wang Sheng to come out of the Old Lord Temple, but Wang Sheng leisurely moved back into the Old Lord Temple again, as if he had returned home.

Of course, Wang Sheng didn’t escape to the Old Lord Temple because he was afraid of these guys’ revenge and actions against him. There was only one reason for coming to the Old Lord Temple, and that was that the five-line staff in Wang Sheng’s soul space had also become solid and could be promoted.

With Eunuch Shen in the Marquis’s estate, it should be safe in principle, but Wang Sheng didn’t dare to entrust his life to Eunuch Shen. A royal old offering, a psychologically dark great eunuch, Wang Sheng would be out of his mind if he dared to entrust his life to him.

Letting Eunuch Shen stay in the Marquis’s estate was also a time bomb, so before Wang Sheng left, he didn’t let Eunuch Shen take action, but asked him to help spread a message to the outside world.

Wang Sheng has a business that he wants to cooperate with any principality, as for the entry conditions, it is very simple, just a few dozen heads. I believe that as long as the major principalities are willing, they can easily do it.

Didn’t the Emperor want to pass the buck to Wang Sheng? Wang Sheng immediately passed the buck out, and it depends on which principality is willing to make a fortune.
