The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 201 Blow up the gold mine for me

The Shen Marquis's mansion has been in a mess recently. Yesterday, the mourning hall for the Ninth Young Master's deceased wife was smashed to pieces. All the masters and servants who were present at the house at the time were beaten half to death, and the servants and guards were also killed or injured. Now the atmosphere is dead, just like a lifeless haunted house.

This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the second master's second house had suffered heavy losses after losing the killer he had raised. He and his two sons disappeared inexplicably in the middle of the night.

The old marquis in charge quickly gave orders and sent people to search all over the mansion and the city.

But there are too many dead and injured people in the mansion now, and even the few errand boys sent to look for people cannot be gathered.

The old marquis slammed the table and shouted, "How did it come to this? Don't we still have Old Seven? Go find your Old Master to mobilize people. What are those people in his courtyard and the outer house doing? Are they just waiting to eat and spend money?"

Steward Shen said with embarrassment, "The Seventh Master is not in the mansion! Lord Marquis, have you forgotten? Something happened to his father-in-law in the two main camps. He was on his way there a long time ago, but we don't know how he is doing now."

Lord Shen was silent.

His left hand, which was resting on the seat and hidden in his sleeve, clenched unconsciously.

Is the Shen family defeated just like this?

Lord Shen seemed to have lost all his energy in an instant. He asked, "Is the eldest master okay?"

Without waiting for Shen's reply, he said to himself: "How can it be good? Both sons are equivalent to being useless..."

He sighed and said, "Looks like I have to go to the harem and ask to see our queen."

The eldest master's daughter who married into the Prince Rui's Mansion could no longer be relied upon, but fortunately the eldest daughter who was sent to the palace was a smart one.

Lord Shen put on his court robes solemnly and dignifiedly, and after he had packed up, he walked with upright steps in a vigorous manner, ready to get into the sedan chair.

But just as he left the rear quarters, someone came to report, "Prince Rui and Princess Rui have arrived."

Lord Shen was really fed up with these two people, but he couldn't refuse to see them, so he had to put on a stern face and reluctantly asked someone to invite the prince and his wife to his Mingdi Courtyard.

When Prince Rui and his wife met Lord Shen, the first thing they were concerned about was naturally the incident of the mourning hall being smashed yesterday. Prince Rui in particular showed the good image of a filial son-in-law to the fullest.

Prince Rui said enthusiastically, "Don't worry, my Lord. I am the Emperor's uncle, and I am half a member of the royal family. Your house was smashed, just like our royal family was smashed. I will go to the palace and report this to the Emperor. This is outrageous! This group of unruly people! I will definitely dispatch people from the government to arrest them."

Lord Shen's eyelids twitched. If it weren't for his status as a prince, he would have wanted to raise his feet and point at his head and question him, "Ask the government officials to arrest him? Doesn't he know how to do it? If any official in the capital city were to encounter such a humiliating thing, would he be able to ask the government officials to do it?"

Lord Shen also realized that Prince Rui had had enough of laughing at his jokes at home, so he came here specifically to show off.

Lord Shen was very busy at the moment, and he also entertained Prince Rui, so he stood up and said very respectfully: "Prince, please wait here, Prince Rui's father will be here soon, you two can chat, I'd better go and take care of the family affairs myself."

Lord Shen ignored what Prince Rui said and walked away very nimbly, his speed almost as fast as that of a middle-aged man in his twenties.

When Prince Rui waited for Master Shen to entertain him, he still used the same rhetoric, but Master Shen was very moved. Perhaps thinking of the scene when he was beaten, Master Shen cried sincerely. He said, "This group of damn people are more daring than the bandits who sit on the mountain and rule the country. It would be great if you, your Highness, can support me, your father-in-law. I wonder if the two families of Sanjianzhai and Mr. Zhong dare to really go against you, your Highness. Going against you is going against the court. If the emperor knows about it, he will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress those two gangs for you, your Highness."

After saying this, he sniffed twice, feeling relieved.

Such a humorous action made Prince Rui's eyelids twitch.

Speaking of which, Prince Rui is two years older than Master Shen. He wondered how Master Shen had the nerve to beg him, his "virtuous son-in-law", to support him.

And over at Suoxinyuan.

Shen Wen sat at the square table at the corner of the corridor, leisurely drinking tea and enjoying the scenery. From time to time, he looked back at the greenhouse at the end of the corridor. Through the carved hollow window of the greenhouse, he could see Chu Yanqiu meditating and practicing on the warm kang.

At this time, a familiar voice came to Shen Wen's ears through the Thousand Miles Voice Transmission and said, "He can't complete a cycle in a short time. This is a critical moment. Speak softly, he can't hear you."

Only Uncle Guan Yonghuan can have such profound internal strength.

Shen Wen said: "Are you all right?"

Uncle Guan said, "You don't have to worry about us. I came here to ask you something. Tu Yingguang will come to see you in a while. He is a man with a temper. I can see that you are not as the legend says. He has been in charge of the affairs of the Three Houses for too long these years. I am afraid that most of the people will follow him. But even if he controls the entire Three Houses, he dare not violate your status."

Shen Wen said: "What do you mean?"

Uncle Guan said, "It seems that you haven't discovered all the cards that Mr. Zhong has left for you. There is a room of Mr. Zhong in the three houses. There is nothing there except two thick strange pillars. Mr. Zhong once said that the ultimate weapon that can conquer the world is hidden there. If you have time, go back and take a look. Maybe that ultimate weapon is left for you."

Shen Wen naturally thought of Zhong Jie's room. He asked, "Have you seen that ultimate weapon?"

Uncle Guan said, "No, but... maybe someone has seen him. I'll bring that person from Sanjianzhai to see you when I have time."

Shen Wen nodded.

Grandpa Guan smiled carefreely and said, "Let's go! I'm going to do something small. Damn it, I was really upset by those unruly people yesterday. I want to vent my anger on a few people today."

Shen Wen asked quickly, "Vent it out? Who do you want to vent it on? I mean small fish and shrimps, irrelevant people, just let them go for now."

Uncle Guan heard the hidden meaning in his words and asked, "What do you mean? Do you have someone or something for me to do? Just tell me."

Shen Wen said: "I do have something to do. I want to blow up Shen Maofeng's gold mine."

Uncle Guan quickly asked, "Oh? Just use those flying iron things of yours?"

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Yes. You wait for me outside for a few days. I will pick out a dozen or twenty useful people from the troops you brought with you in the mountains. Then they will follow me to the mine to take a look."

Guan Yonghuan said, "This is easy to handle, but... can you change the rule that Mr. Zhong set before?"

Shen Wen said: "What rules? What did he stipulate?"

Guan Yonghuan said: "He stipulated that weapons from other worlds cannot be taken out of the mountains. You know, with those weapons, my people are like divine soldiers descended from the sky. Without them, we will be much worse in the battle."

Shen Wen said: "There are reasons why they don't allow people to bring them out. Just follow the rules. As for the weapons... do you think I can afford to give them those weapons?"

Guan Yonghuan suddenly thought of the group of flying iron bugs that day, it seemed... this doll could appear at any time!

Guan Yonghuan really didn't dare to imagine too much.

Guan Yonghuan was silent for a long time and said, "Just leave the mountain if you are allowed to. It seems that my previous worry that you would be suppressed by Tu Yingguang was wrong."

But he didn't know that Shen Wen had never thought about it. With Zhong Jie's family background, he could easily rule the world.

Shen Wen said, "Yesterday I wanted to teach Shen Maofeng a lesson, to make him lose half his life if he didn't die. Who knew that they were not normal people who would reason with you. Now that I think about it, I've had enough of it. Since they are used to being unreasonable, let's do what they want. You have worked with Zhong Jie for many years, and you must know his temper. He is reasonable with others, and it's fine if they are reasonable, but if they are unreasonable, they naturally have unreasonable ways to do it. I've never been afraid of it. He and I are very similar in this regard."

Guan Yonghuan said, "Isn't it just a little long-winded? Uncle Guan is impatient with others doing this, but Mr. Zhong is an exception. Now it's your turn, so be it! The old man knows what to do."

Guan Yonghuan was a quick man, and he immediately did it as soon as he finished speaking.

As soon as he left, Tu Yingguang came quietly.

He flashed in front of Shen Wen like a ghost, glanced at Shen Wen, and looked past him at Chu Yanqiu who was still practicing internal energy to heal his wounds in the window. He leaned against the pillar and said to Shen Wen leisurely, "You still have the leisure to accompany that person to recuperate in this courtyard. It seems that you have a good character."

Shen Wen poured him a cup of tea and asked him to sit down and chat.

Tu Yingguang took no action.

Shen Wen didn't care. He said, "What's the big deal? Don't we still have you? I am not an important person to those people, but you are. Since they are unwilling to admit that I am a strong person, I am happy to play the pig and eat the tiger. You also know that some people are like this. They don't even know how they died in the end."

Tu Yingguang smiled gently and said, "You are very similar to him. You usually look no different from ordinary people, but at critical moments, there are some earth-shattering events that only people like you can control."

Shen Wen said: "Why do I feel like you are talking about yourself? Are you praising yourself in disguise?"

Tu Yingguang smiled back at his joking remark.

Tu Yingguang said, "You don't know that when the head of the Shen family was young, he was a black-hearted man with sophisticated means. He relied on the power given to him by the emperor to show off his power in the capital. Now it's time to bear fruit according to what you have done."

Shen Wen said: "Since ancient times, all officials have longed for their families to prosper and be favored forever. In the final analysis, Lord Shen is too conservative and mediocre. He is not as ambitious as his sons and nephews. It would be fine if he did not have ambition, but he has too many sinister and vicious little thoughts. If we don't cut off his sharp teeth and claws, he will do some unprecedented stupid things in the future, which will be a pity for the entire dynasty and even the entire human race."

Tu Yingguang said: "Grandma! Are you overestimating him?"

Shen Wen said: "Don't be too prominent. If you have done some things, it will bring disaster to yourself for someone of your status. You don't have to worry. Now that I have said it, there will naturally be others who will do it."
