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

"Lord Sun, Sun Youtai?"

Wei Anhou now knows that Shen Mo is clearly capable, so why didn't he stop it.

Because Shen Mo has the support of Sun Youtai behind him, and Sun Youtai is in charge of the emperor's private treasury.

Even though he was a noble, he did not dare to offend the favorites around the emperor.

It's because Marquis Wei An is now in decline. If the Marquis Wei An's Mansion had not been in decline, he wouldn't have gone to Shen Mo in a roundabout way to ask for money.

He just felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet.

"You plotted against me."

In the end, he just said this dryly.

After saying this, he instantly understood that perhaps this was the truth, but was it possible?

How did Shen Mo expect that he would bring people to destroy this place?

"Marquis Wei An, you think too highly of yourself. Why would I plot against you? Did I force you to come here? Did I ask you to bring guards? Wasn't it you who signaled the guards to destroy the place?"

Shen Mo's few words left Wei Anhou speechless.

Just then, footsteps were heard at the door, and two men came in from outside.

One of the men paused when he saw the mess in the room, and then his eyes moved to Wei Anhou's face.

"Greetings to Marquis Wei An. What happened? Shen Mo? What did you do to offend Marquis Wei An to make this place so messy?"

Sun Youtai's eyes swept across the items in the room and suddenly moved to a painting that was discarded in the corner like a rag.

He ran over and hugged the painting exaggeratedly.

"What should I do? This is a painting by Gu Kaizhi that I searched all over the country to find. There are only a few authentic ones in the world. Wuuuu!" Sun Youtai started crying.

The man who was originally standing at the door ran into the reception room in disbelief when he heard that Gu Kaizhi's original work was destroyed.

It was only then that Marquis Wei An realized that the visitor was the King of Chu.

Before Wei Anhou could salute the King of Chu, the King of Chu had already run to the destroyed painting and asked, "Sun Youtai, why did you put such an important painting here? Instead of putting it in the storage room to preserve it?"

This is meant to be blaming.

"Your Highness, it's just a painting, isn't it? Paintings must be hung where they can be appreciated. I can't hang a fake painting in the reception room. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Sun Youtai felt puzzled.

"Who destroyed the painting? Was it you?" He looked at Shen Mo with a gloomy look.

Shen Mo pointed at Wei Anhou.

"I am now seeking compensation from Marquis Wei An! Brother Sun, since you are here, you can decide how much silver the things here are worth!"

Shen Mo stood aside and watched Sun Youtai perform next.

Unexpectedly, before Sun Youtai could say anything, the King of Chu had already pointed at Wei Anhou's nose and started to curse: "You old Bidden, tell me, did you get the news that I was looking for Gu Kaizhi's painting to give to my father as a birthday gift, so you want to destroy it?!"

The King of Chu was a suspicious person by nature. He finally got the news about Gu Kaizhi's paintings, but they were destroyed by Marquis Wei An. Naturally, he immediately thought of his good brothers.

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? He just wanted to come over to get the painting, but the next moment, Gu Kaizhi's painting was destroyed by Wei Anhou.

As for Shen Mo and Sun Youtai joining forces to deceive, he never even thought about it.

Sun Youtai had given such a valuable glass shop to his father first, so there was no need for him to refuse a mere painting by Gu Kaizhi.

But the King of Chu didn't know that Sun Youtai could not defect to any of the princes because he was the emperor's money bag.

In the previous life, the Sun family was labeled as a member of the Chu Wang School early on because of this painting by Gu Kaizhi.

When something happens to the King of Chu and he loses all chance of becoming emperor, it is only a matter of time before the Sun family is liquidated.

When the Sun family learned that the King of Chu was looking for Gu Kaizhi's painting again in this life, since they had the painting, it was impossible for them to refuse to give it to the King of Chu who came to ask for it.

Shen Mo revealed the news that the King of Chu was looking for Gu Kaizhi's painting to Sun Youtai, and they jointly set up a plan.

When Wei Anhou came to the door, Shen Mo asked Hang Songnian to notify Sun Youtai immediately and start the action.

As soon as Marquis Wei An entered the room, Shen Mo started to provoke him everywhere, just to arouse his dissatisfaction and anger.

Finally, Marquis Wei An ordered the guards to smash the reception room, and Shen Mo had no intention of stopping him.

Shen Mo thought about it and decided that if he couldn't use verbal attacks to get Marquis Wei An to smash and destroy things, then he would have to hypnotize Marquis Wei An to get him to order others to smash and destroy things.

Fortunately, Wei Anhou was very powerful and had the paintings completely destroyed, so Gu Kaizhi's paintings were naturally also destroyed.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu, I didn't do that. I am wronged."

"Then why did you go to the carriage shop for no reason? You can't ask the carriage shop to deliver goods, right? You are a poor mansion, what else do you need the carriage shop to deliver? Or do you want to get it for free, and then you get angry and smash the carriage shop?"

The King of Chu decided to teach Marquis Wei An a profound lesson. He actually dared to destroy something he liked. This old man was simply wishing he could live longer.

The words of the King of Chu continued to irritate Marquis Wei An, especially the part about the dilapidated mansion, which completely angered Marquis Wei An.

He is an old man, but the King of Chu scolded him in public as if he were his grandson. Doesn’t Marquis Wei An have any dignity?

"Your Highness, I didn't. I came here to ask Shen Mo for compensation." He said gritting his teeth.

"Marquis Wei An, I've said before that Shen Cheng has nothing to do with me. It makes no sense for you to seek compensation from me after he dies."

"I don't care what bullshit happened between you two. Now your people have destroyed Gu Kaizhi's painting, and now you have to give me a similar one."

"Marquis Wei An, there is no reason for you not to compensate for destroying this place. The things here were all lent to Brother Shen Mo by me." Sun Youtai spoke at the same time.

Then, Sun Youtai turned to the King of Chu and said, "Your Highness, although I don't have any paintings by Gu Kaizhi, I know that Qianbao Pavilion will have a painting by a famous artist auctioned recently."

The King of Chu's eyes lit up and he looked at Marquis Wei An.

Wei Anhou was no fool, and knew that this blood had to be shed: "Your Highness, since my men have destroyed Gu Kaizhi's paintings, I will help Your Highness to take pictures of the famous paintings in Qianbao Pavilion."

The King of Chu smiled and said, "That's great. I won't bother with you about what happened today."

After saying that, he looked at Sun Youtai again and said, "Lord Sun, I believe that the guards of Marquis Wei An did not intend to destroy this place. This little thing is just a drop in the bucket for Lord Sun. Why don't you give me some face today and turn hostility into friendship?"

"I will give Your Highness this face." Sun Youtai saluted to the King of Chu with a smile.

The King of Chu laughed and walked out of the house.

Marquis Wei An led his men and followed the King of Chu out.

Although he didn't have to compensate for the losses here, his face was not looking good.

All the items auctioned at Qianbao Pavilion are of high quality, which is very costly for him.

After the group of people left completely, Sun Youtai closed the door, looked at Shen Mo, and then they both burst into laughter.

"Shen Mo, you are such a genius. No matter who you offend, you can never be offended. Why are you so mean?"
