I painted skin in the cemetery for 15 years

Everyone was on the same boat, Shen Gong's family boat sank, and all the retainers also fell into the water.

Mu Hongyu and all the retainers and generals lined up at the gate of Zhenhai Marquis' Mansion to welcome the complete return.

Wu Que just walked to the gate.

Gongsunye, Shen Liuqi and all the civil and military retainers bowed down neatly.

"Congratulations to the third son on his triumphant return!"

"Congratulations to the third son on his triumphant return!"

"Mr. Shen Wuque, long live!" This was the shout from the servants of the Marquis Mansion.

If the Duke Shen's family were to end, the servants in the Marquis' mansion would also lose their sanctuary, and the fate would only be worse.

………………

Here, Zhenhai Marquis Mansion is full of joy.

In the Time Pavilion not far away, the clouds are gloomy.

Bai Linghou, Bai Yuchuan, and Song Yuanshan sat for a long time.

Among them, what Song Yuanshan held in his hand was a secret letter from Piaoling City.

They even received the news earlier than the members of Shen Gong's family.

Then, I fell into a deep shock and couldn't extricate myself.

A total of 400 million taels of silver was owed shortfall, and I already felt that it was completely impossible to earn it back.

As a result, Shen Wuque earned a total of 600 million taels.

It just makes my scalp tingle.

"The Marquis of Lishan is finished." Song Yuanshan sighed.

Bai Yuchuan nodded and said, "Yes, he lost so badly, it's completely unimaginable."

"In this battle, the Mi family lost more than 600 million taels, or even more." Song Yuanshan said.

Bai Yuchuan said: "Money is nothing. The layout failed this time. How much time and price did you spend for this time of ambush? As a result, the Shen Gong family narrowly escaped death."

Song Yuanshan said: "It was a game that was destined to die, but it was taken alive. Shen Gong's family is amazing. They have three outstanding sons. The eldest son won one game, the second son won another game, and then the third son won another game." A big victory in one game directly brought the Shen Gong family back from the brink of hell."

Bai Yuchuan said: "Song Huishou, do you regret it? Do you regret joining our battle?"

"No regrets." Song Yuanshan said: "Since you have made a choice, you must be responsible for your choice."

Then, Song Yuanshan said: "Although Shen Gong's family escaped from death once, Wu Que and the third son created an unprecedented miracle. However, the situation of strategic passiveness has not changed at all. Shen Gongao is unparalleled in combat, but his political and strategic vision is too poor. "

Bai Yuchuan said: "It's not just bad, it's childish. It's really like a knife, it only knows how to advance, it knows how to fight, and it only knows how to kill. Politics is the art of compromise. In the past ten years, he has been like a greedy wolf. Desperately fighting, desperately expanding. Just like a python, although he knows that after eating a whole antelope, he will suffer from indigestion, and he will be unable to move and swell to death. But he still can't help but eat it."

Bai Linghou said: "For the sake of expansion, for the sake of showing off, I offended everyone, including my lord, King Mi. And I didn't even know to take the high-level route. The expansion has reached the present, and there is no ally or backer in the court. Sky Bookstore Over there, there is no backer, which is really strange."

In comparison, Bai Linghou is much smarter.

The eldest son is married to an official of the court, and the second son is married to a senior executive of Sky Bookstore.

Both legs are very strong.

Where is a reckless man like Shen Gongao who only knows how to fight and kill, never knows how to manage.

This kind of person is not even an upstart, but just a knife in the hands of others.

Bai Yuchuan said: "So, don't look at Shen Wuque winning so crazy. But the Shen Gong family's predicament is not over at all, and it will never end."

Song Yuanshan said: "Yes, I heard that the Dali Kingdom has moved to the capital of God, and sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Daxia Empire. Once the peace talks are successful, Shen Gongao's sword will be completely useless."

Bai Yuchuan smiled without saying a word.

He knows more, and the result of this negotiation may be better than expected.

The Dali Kingdom may surrender to the Great Xia Empire and become a vassal state.

Moreover, Dali Kingdom is likely to publicly announce its conversion to Sky Book City, and his sister is likely to be sent to Sky Book City to study.

Not only that, the Dali Kingdom may also represent the Sky Book City, expanding southward, annexing many kingdom tribes in the south, and wiping the flag of the Sky Book City across every piece of land in the Nanman Continent.

Once so.

The Dali Kingdom will replace the Dongyi Empire and become one of the pillars of the Sky Book City in the Eastern civilization.

It's that day.

The Sky Bookstore directly took care of the Shengong family without even needing Mi's hands.

Bai Yuchuan smiled lightly: "Individual efforts and individual genius are completely insignificant in the face of the overall situation. Under the wheel of history, any so-called genius of Shen Wuque's victory is just a man's arm."

Song Yuanshan said: "That's right, Bai Linghou, it's time for you to ask for money."

That's right, at that time tens of thousands of farmers and craftsmen besieged the Marquis of Zhenhai's mansion to ask for salary. Shen Wuque crazily mortgaged the Marquis of Zhenhai's mansion and borrowed 65 taels of silver from the Tianxiahui.

But Bai Linghou spent 70 taels of silver to buy this contract from Song Yuanshan in order to vent his anger.

Therefore, what Shen Wu owed was Bai Linghou's money.

"It's a pity, Shen Wuque still earned gold and silver in the end, otherwise I could use this contract to rob the Marquis of Zhenhai's mansion." Bai Linghou imagined that he would use this loan contract to press for debts, but Mu Hongyu But the tragedy of not being able to show the money, and even the tragedy of the entire Shen Gong family being kicked out of the Marquis Mansion.

such a pity!

None of this is possible anymore.

"Father, don't be in a hurry." Bai Yuchuan said: "Sometimes failure is not a bad thing, and then Mi Wang will only be more ruthless. So Shen Wuque's victory may not be a good thing, and it will push the Shengong family to extinction. the point."

Song Yuanshan said: "Where is the prefect Li Shiyun? The last time tens of thousands of people besieged the Marquis of Zhenhai's mansion, did he play very well? His cousin was brutally killed by Shen Wuque, and hundreds of garrisons under his command were killed by Shen Wuque. His wife Xi Fan was snatched away by Shen Wuque, with such deep hatred, can he bear it?"

Bai Yuchuan said: "Our lord prefect is not an ordinary person, he is surprisingly powerful, let's see."

..............................

Accompanied by Song Yuanshan, Bai Linghou went to the residence of the Marquis of Zhenhai.

"Congratulations to my nephew, you have returned with all the money you earned." Bai Linghou said with a smile.

There was no trace of hatred on his face.

You know, his nephew Bai Chongguang was brutally killed by Shen Wuque just now.More than 1000 private soldiers under his command also died in the hands of Shen Wuque.

In his heart he hated Shen Wuque to the bone, and he wished he could get his skin cramped.

But at this time, he was still smiling and full of affection.

Wu Que bowed and saluted: "Little nephew pays respects to Bai Shishu, you are really a distinguished guest, but you haven't been to my house for several years, right?"

Bai Linghou said: "Isn't that right? We are neighbors, so we should walk around a lot, but I've been too busy these years, so I neglected to keep in touch with each other, resulting in many misunderstandings."

Wu Que said: "It's a misunderstanding, just solve it."

During the whole process, Shen Wuque kept chatting and laughing with this Bai Linghou.

But Mu Hongyu next to her couldn't show such hypocrisy, her face was full of frost.

Bai Linghou complimented: "I really envy Brother Ao, I really envy you for having three such outstanding sons."

Wu Que said: "What are the three of us? Uncle Bai's sons are the dragons and phoenixes among the people. The eldest son is married to the prime minister of the cabinet, and the second son is married to the elder of the Sky Book City. Prosperity and wealth."

These words directly scratched Bai Linghou's itch.

This is what he is most proud of, and it is also where he looks down on Shen Gongao the most.

Look at my in-laws.

Look at your in-laws.

The eldest son, Shen Wuzhuo, married Nangongrou, and the two in-laws have lost contact with each other.

The second son, Shen Wuyu, married Mi Yuyi, who was a top wealthy Chinese family, but the two families were like enemies.

Then there is Shen Wuque, who married Zhifan, who is extremely beautiful.But what is the family?It's just a down-and-out little nobleman, and now he even lost his title.

Where does it look like my home?

Especially the second son, Bai Yuchuan, who married the "daughter" of the elder of Sky Book City, soaring straight into the sky.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Que said: "Uncle Bai, what is the purpose of your visit this time? Is there something wrong with my nephew?"

Bai Linghou said: "Nothing, nothing. A few days ago, tens of thousands of farmers and craftsmen gathered around your house to ask for wages. I couldn't bear to see it, so I entrusted His Excellency Song Yuanshan of the Tianxiahui to borrow Give your family 65 silver, set an interest rate of [-]%, return it before the seventh day of October, and use Zhenhai Marquis Mansion as a mortgage. This time, my nephew has earned so much gold. In order to avoid generating more benefits, we will just give it to you. This debt has been paid."

Wu Que said: "Oh, is Uncle Bai here to collect debts?"

Bai Linghou said: "Nephew, the word "debt collection" is ugly. You and I are neighbors, we help each other, how can we use the word "debt collection?"

Wu Que said: "Yes, yes, yes, I said something wrong. But..."

He looked at Bai Linghou innocently and said, "I have never borrowed money from your family!"

Bai Linghou was slightly taken aback, and then said: "You borrowed money from His Excellency Song Yuanshan from Tianxiahui, but the money was actually given by me, so the contract is in my hands."

Wu Que looked at Song Yuanshan with more innocent eyes and said, "Song Huishou, I haven't borrowed money from you either?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Yuanshan was stunned.

Bai Linghou was also stunned.

Gongsunye, Shen Liuqi, Mu Hongyu and others were also stunned.

Young Master Wu Que, it's only been a few days since this happened?Are you forgetful?When you borrowed money that day, we all saw it clearly, and we all remembered it clearly, and we even secretly slandered, thinking that Mr. Wuque, you are so crazy and prodigal, that you even used the Marquis' Mansion as a mortgage.

Bai Linghou couldn't hold back his smile anymore, and said coldly, "Nephew Wuque, don't joke about such things."

Song Yuanshan next to him also said coldly: "Young Master Wuque, this kind of thing is very serious and will completely ruin your reputation, so don't make such jokes."

Wu Que said indifferently: "I'm not kidding, I just didn't borrow the 65 taels of silver."

Bai Linghou said coldly: "The contract is in my hands, written in black and white, do you still want to deny it? If this matter goes to the imperial court, your family's reputation will be ruined."

Wu Que said indifferently: "Contract, where is the contract? Why didn't I see it, show it to me."

Bai Linghou directly took out a small box from his arms and opened it.

"Huh!" The moment it was just opened.

The contract inside was burned directly and turned into ashes.

It wasn't white phosphorus, but it was contaminated with very fine iron powder, and it burned directly under the friction of fast movement.

And in front of Bai Linghou, in front of Song Yuanshan, and in front of everyone, it was directly burned to ashes.

Then, Wu Que said even more innocently: "Uncle Bai, Your Excellency Song Yuanshan, where is the contract? Where is my loan contract? Where is it?"

"Take it out and let me have a look. As long as there is a contract, I will definitely accept it. I am a person who has never owed anyone money. My character is a lesson for the world!"

Then, Wu Que looked at the many retainers of Shen Gong's family and asked, "Have you seen any loan contracts?"

No one nodded, no one shook their heads.

Because these retainers really can't do this to turn black and white, pointing a deer into a horse.

You don't burn this contract sooner, and you don't burn this contract later.

It turned out to be the moment of opening, burning the contract in front of everyone.

This is a blatant slap in the face, a blatant bullying.

Song Yuanshan said coldly: "Young Master Wuque, this kind of behavior of yours is very dangerous."

Wu Que said indifferently: "You will make money in the world, you should make money, and you should be as neutral as Piaoling City. What are you doing to get involved in the struggle between our few families? Why do you blame me for itching? If I were you , just shut up quickly. Otherwise, I won’t even repay the loan from Black Gold City and Zhaixing Pavilion.”

Immediately, Song Yuanshan shut up directly.

"Hahahaha..." Bai Linghou laughed loudly and said, "It's an eye-opener, an eye-opener."

"Shen Wuque, Mu Hongyu, the 70 taels of silver is considered a waste of money. But I want to warn you that this matter will never end."

"Shen Wuque, let me give you a piece of advice, don't be too arrogant in Dezhi. Sometimes, you seem to win on the surface, but the ending will only be more tragic!"

Wu Que said indifferently: "Hai Bai Ling, how about I also give you a piece of advice?"

"Please!" Bai Linghou said.

Wu Que sighed and said, "This struggle was originally a matter between the Shengong family and the Mi family. But you, the Marquis of Bailing's mansion, got involved and even took the initiative to harm me twice. So... please take care of your health , because I will exterminate your family, thousands of people, all of you will be exterminated!"

Bai Linghou's face changed drastically, and then he burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha!"

"It's the first time I've seen such a presumptuous, direct threat."
