Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

From the moment Shen Mo knew that if he refused the steward of Marquis Wei An's mansion, Marquis Wei An would come to him.

So when his subordinates reported that Wei Anhou was here, he was not surprised at all.

"Invite people in!"

Shen Mo also felt very annoyed. He originally thought that he had already taken revenge on the main target, Shen Cheng, and he could just take his time to deal with the rest. He had no idea that the Marquis Wei'an Mansion would be so impatient to find him.

When he met Marquis Wei An, Shen Mo did not bow down to him like an ordinary person would. Shen Mo did not even salute him.

"How dare you be so rude when you see the Marquis!" The butler beside Marquis Wei An's mansion became angry when he saw that Shen Mo did not greet Marquis Wei An.

The guards next to him drew their swords.

Wei Anhou smiled and held the guard's hand: "Young man, you were once a disciple of the emperor, so it's normal for you to be a little aloof."

Shen Mo pointed to the seat and said, "My Lord, please take a seat. I don't come to you for no reason. I am a rough man and I like to speak directly."

Seeing Shen Mo like this, Marquis Wei An knew there was no need to beat around the bush.

He coughed lightly and said, "Shen Cheng is your younger brother. He gave me a glass formula. You know this business is no longer viable, but I have already made the glass. His formula caused me to suffer heavy losses. You are his brother, so you have to make up for this loss."

Shen Mo laughed.

It was as if Marquis Wei An had told a huge joke.

"Marquis Wei An really showed me what shamelessness is."

"How dare you." The butler shouted, and the guards around Marquis Wei An drew their swords one after another, as if they were ready to fight if Shen Mo said anything else that was unfavorable to Marquis Wei An.

"Although my last name is Shen, I have nothing to do with Shen Cheng."

"You are his brother, and the Shen family members are still here."

"So what? The grass on my grave is already several people tall, right?" Even though they are brothers, Wei Anhou and Shen Cheng made the glass together with mutual consent, so it cannot be blamed on Shen Cheng.

Of course, he was not standing up for Shen Cheng, and he didn't have such kind intentions. He just felt that what Wei Anhou did was disgusting.

"Shen Mo, you are the second place chosen by the emperor. If you swap identities with Shen Cheng, you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"What evidence do you have? Not to mention that it was someone from the Shen family? I remember that the official who went to the Shen family to report the news clearly said that the second master of the Shen family, Shen Cheng, was chosen by the emperor as the second place in the imperial examination. Oh, Shen Cheng had not yet become an official at that time, so he did not have such ability. Then who did this? Was it you? Marquis Wei An." Shen Mo smiled and met Marquis Wei An's turbid eyes.

These nobles have been pampered and flattered for generations, and have long become arrogant, conceited, and self-righteous.

It seemed as if all common people had to listen to him, and that if they set their eyes on something, the powerless people would offer it to them with both hands.

"If you go against my Wei'an Marquis Mansion, believe it or not, your carriage and horse business will be closed tomorrow? Don't think that just because you have connections with the Sun family and have caught a few wanted criminals and shown your face in front of the Jingzhao prefect, you can think that you are also the most important person in the capital."

"Isn't it too late to close tomorrow? If you have any ability, it would be best if you can have my car close immediately today. I think it will be too late tomorrow." Shen Mo lowered his head and turned the jade ring on his hand.

He had such a jade ring in his first life, and he liked it very much. Unfortunately, there was no space at that time, so he had no way to preserve it.

He happened to see a similar one in this life, and bought it without thinking.

Wei Anhou was so furious at Shen Mo's words, but he couldn't vent it.

He glanced at the guard beside him with an unfriendly look.

Instantly, the guards drew their swords one after another: "How dare you! You are a lowly person and you didn't even bother to pay respect to the Marquis, but now you dare to speak so arrogantly."

As they spoke, these people began to smash things in the room.

One of the guards beside Wei Anhou chopped the tea tray in front of Shen Mo with a knife, splitting the wooden tea tray in two and leaving a deep groove on the table underneath.

It was said to be late, but it was fast. Shen Mo's eyes turned cold, and he lifted the tabletop with his hand before it broke into pieces. In an instant, the teacups on the table seemed to have their own consciousness and flew towards the back of the heads of the guards who were smashing things around.

With just this one hit, the guards screamed in pain.

It was obviously just a small teacup, but these big men were beaten so hard that they dropped their weapons and covered the back of their heads.

After seeing this scene, Marquis Wei An almost vomited blood, and his face was darker than the bottom of a pot.

The people in carriages and horses outside also came over and surrounded the guards who were causing trouble.

"Boss, how do we deal with these people?" The general manager of the carriage and horse company came to Shen Mo, very respectful.

"Everything in this room is registered. Go get the bill and show it to Marquis Wei An. I won't say anything about ten times or anything like that. Just pay according to the market price in the book!"

He had no idea how many things in the room were worth.

Originally these were arranged by Hang Songnian, but after Sun Youtai saw the arrangement, he insisted that it was not up to standard. Since the guests to be received were businessmen and celebrities and not ordinary people, the decoration of the reception room must be carefully considered.

In the end, he told Hang Songnian not to worry about it. He had some good stuff in his warehouse, and it would be useless to just leave it there. It would be better to give it to Shen Mo.

Then he moved all the treasures in his warehouse over.

This is really not Shen Mo trying to trick Wei Anhou.

It was really because Wei Anhou and his guards acted too quickly.

Wei Anhou didn't want to pay the money at all, and turned around to leave with his men. However, at this time, the people from Shen Mo's carriage and horse company would not let him go so easily.

"Shen Mo, what are you going to do? Do you still want to detain me?"

"The Marquis's guards smashed up my place, so naturally you have to pay compensation before you can leave. I have no interest in your people at all. There is no point in keeping these weak chickens."

At this time, the steward came over with the bill and handed it to Marquis Wei An: "Please take a look, my lord. I have already written down the specific items."

"A wooden table made of old huanghuali and oily pear wood, a red sandalwood tea tray, and a painting by Gu Kaizhi..."

Wei Anhou's eyelids twitched every time he watched. By the end, his eyelids couldn't stop twitching.

According to the list above, the amount of silver he had to pay as compensation was at least tens of thousands of taels. Just one painting by Gu Kaizhi was a priceless treasure.

If this is an authentic work, what idiot would put it in the living room so openly? Who wouldn't put this kind of heirloom in the storage room to preserve it and enjoy it slowly? !

He threw the list to the ground.

"Are you treating me like a fool? You come from a small county town, where can you afford these things?"

"If you think the goods are not what they claim to be, you can ask an appraiser to appraise them. Oh, the things here are definitely not purchased by me. I didn't say that I purchased them, but just because they are not purchased by me doesn't mean that the things here are fake. Our carriage and horse shop also has a stake in Mr. Sun, a doctor from the Ministry of Works. These items are all collections from Mr. Sun's private warehouse. He just borrowed them to serve as a facade for our carriage and horse shop."
