Chapter 972.
Discovering that Wang Dust’s identity card was genuine, Shangguan Pengfei immediately had the feeling of sitting on wax.
The Blood Clothes Guard, the Golden Goo Guard, and the Feather Forest Guard were known as the Three Guards of the Son of Heaven, and were the close guards directly belonging to the Emperor of Great Liang, and Wang Dust’s status as a Thousand Household of the Blood Clothes Guard was not even remotely inferior to him as a school lieutenant.
Not to mention that Wang Dust also has the title of Chief Guard!
Therefore, even if the Beijing official position is one step higher, Shangguan Pengfei is not qualified to give orders to Wang dust, not to mention the power to pressure people.
And such a young blood guard thousand households, to say that there is not a little ability and background, and how is it possible?
The problem was that Shangguan Pengfei had done more than one or two times of teaming up with Mu Lao to pit outsiders, and this time when both sides had erupted into such a big conflict, how should it end?
The idea of killing to silence flashed through Shangguan Pengfei’s mind.
It was immediately suppressed.
Not to mention whether or not he could finish off Wang Dust, the sudden disappearance of a Blood Clothes Guard Thousand Household was not a small matter, and since there were many people here, if the news were to leak out, Shangguan Pengfei would not be able to bear the consequences at all.
Even his own family would be implicated!
With his mind racing, Shangguan Pengfei revealed a kind smile, “So it’s Thousand Household Wang, this is really a case of great water rushing over the Dragon King’s Temple, a family doesn’t know a family ah, misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding misunderstanding!”
In fact, although the Blood Clothes Guards and the Golden Go Guard belonged to the same Heavenly Son’s close guards, they were completely incompatible with a family, and even the relationship between the two sides was never really friendly.
If the two families really became a family, then the Son of Heaven would not be able to sit on the dragon chair!
Wang Dust smiled and said, “Well said.”
Shangguan Pengfei turned his head to look at Mu Lao and steeply sank his face, “Shopkeeper Mu, how dare you slander Lord Wang, what is your crime?”
Mu Lao was sincerely terrified, “I know my sin, I will never dare again, please forgive both of you!”
“It’s good if you know your sins.”
Shangguan Pengfei frowned and said, “Still not quick enough to clean this place up, what a mess!”
Mu Lao panicked and summoned his servants to send the gray-clothed man lying on the ground to the backyard for treatment.
He also ordered the floor to be cleaned up.
Even though his heart hated to kill Wang Dust by a thousand cuts, but Shangguan Pengfei, who was the final backer, had chosen to compromise, so what claws and teeth did he have left to show?
He could only swallow his teeth and blood in his stomach.
Wang Dust watched from the sidelines and did not interfere.
This Shangguan Pengfei and Mu Lao were putting on a show in front of him, but it was only because they wanted to minimize the big issues and make the small ones go away, and their intention to perfume themselves couldn’t be clearer.
After the hall was cleared, Shangguan Pengfei said, “Lord Wang, today’s matter is really a misunderstanding, I will let Boss Mu come up with a charter to apologize and make amends to you, for my sake just give him a way out.”
Wang Dust smiled, “Good talk.”
Shangguan Pengfei’s smile became a few points more sincere: “Great, Sir Wang, I’ll invite you to have a drink at Tian Xiang Lou, this matter will be covered by me, I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”
“There is no rush to drink.”
Wang Dust waved his hand and said, “I still have an unsettled account with Shopkeeper Mu, let’s talk about it after we settle it.”
Shangguan Pengfei froze, “What account?”
Mu Lao was equally puzzled.
Wang Chen smiled, “The thing is like this, I just spent one million silver taels to purchase three five hundred year old mountain ginsengs from Shopkeeper Mu, which are all still sitting on the table, Shopkeeper Mu, do you think that’s right?”
One million taels of silver!
Shangguan Pengfei’s eyes instantly changed, revealing an uncontrollable color of greed.
He was a lieutenant of the Jingwuwei, and his yearly salary was only a few hundred taels of silver, without the support of his family, not to mention practicing martial arts and skills, he couldn’t even meet his daily expenses.
The Shangguan family is a large family with a large number of children, so it is impossible to pour all the resources on him.
In fact the clan was full-blooded members who were better than Shangguan Pengfei abounded.
It was for the sake of cultivation resources and also for enjoyment that Shangguan Pengfei was in collusion with Mu Lao and did a lot of pitiful deals.
Today he was invited to slaughter a big fat sheep!
Shangguan Pengfei didn’t expect Wang Chen to be so fat that he easily took out a million taels of silver.
He was cynical and hateful and couldn’t help the thought of greed, a heart fire burned up and his eyes were red.
The Blood Clothes Guards who often raided homes were really able to make money!
And Mu Lao didn’t notice Shangguan Pengfei’s eyes, he was just a little bit confused by Wang Duan’s question and subconsciously nodded his head, “Right.”
“But the five hundred years old mountain ginseng you sold me, all of them are fake!”
Wang Dust said in a deep voice, “According to the Law of the Great Ancestor, if a merchant sells a fake, he will seek to recover ten!”
The Great Ancestor’s Law is the law that Emperor Taizu of Da Liang personally established, with a total of seventy-two articles, of which there are nine articles specifically for merchants, known as the Nine Laws of Commerce.
It is said that this is because Emperor Taizu was once pitied by unscrupulous merchants when he was young, and although he didn’t severely suppress merchants after establishing Da Liang, he also severely punished unscrupulous merchants.
This conspiracy a chase ten is the meaning of fake a penalty ten!
Wang dust stared at Mu Lao: “You have to compensate me 10 million taels of silver!”
Ten million taels of silver!
Mu Lao immediately had a feeling of five thunderbolts, and his entire body was bombarded with confusion.
He finally realized that Wang Chen’s set was here!
Mu Lao panicked and looked at Shangguan Pengfei, saying sharply, “Lord Shangguan, there’s no such thing, he’s talking nonsense!”
Even if his old bones were torn apart, he would not be able to pay out 10 million taels of silver.
In desperation, he could only pin his hopes on Shangguan Pengfei.
Shangguan Pengfei cursed in his heart, but still said stiffly, “Lord Wang, I see that there is a misunderstanding here, how about this, Boss Mu returns the silver to you, and then compensates you for 100,000 taels how?”
“Good, I am willing to pay!”
At this time, Mu Lao had completely messed up, immediately nodding his head like pounding garlic.
“One hundred thousand?”
Wang Dust laughed softly, “Paying off a beggar!”
Shangguan Pengfei met his gaze, a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, as if he was immersed in an ice cave.
Wang Dust’s eyes were filled with indescribable contempt and ridicule, looking at him as if he was a clown.
According to reason, Shangguan Pengfei should be furious, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do so.
His momentum was completely suppressed and crushed to death!
Only to hear Wang Dust say to Mu Lao again, “If you can’t pay out ten million taels of silver today, then pay for your life.”
Wang Dust’s tone was flat, but in Mu Lao’s ears, it was like a thunderous boom.
He couldn’t help but kneel on the ground and begged bitterly, “Sir, I really don’t have that much silver!”
“If you want money but not life, then die.”
Wang Chen lifted his right palm expressionlessly and slapped it down heavily towards Mu Lao’s head.
The shadow of death instantly enveloped the traitor, he was so scared that he almost wet his pants, and immediately howled, “Spare my life, Da, my lord, I still have a heavy treasure that I would like to offer to your lord as compensation!”
Heavy treasure?
Wang Dust’s halted right palm was only an inch away from Mu Lao’s head.
