In the past few days, Zhu Gong can be said to have suffered a lot, and every moment is like a year. Although the www.biquge.info pen is only a few days, the torment and torment in my heart is longer than the previous half of my life.

After several choices, he finally chose to come to Wukang, for a person who is obsessed with accumulating money, the most difficult moment in his life, only with his lifelong accumulation of family business can he feel a little steady.

The grain that Wu Kang hoarded can indeed be called Zhu Gong's lifelong family business. At a time when grain prices were high, he was forced to take a big gamble and mobilize goods far beyond his control, at the cost of mortgaging most of the land in his hometown, and if he could not obtain a good return, the semi-production industry would cease to be self-sufficient.

However, when he came to Wukang, Zhu Gong found out that the young man of the Shen family did not lie, and the blows did come one after another. He didn't see the traitor Xu Kuang, but the plain grain collection account book told him that he had indeed been liquidated by a gamble this time.

Originally, Wu Kang was almost out of food, but suddenly there were several large transactions, and the grain purchased was nearly 20,000 hu, which consumed his last goods. Those who can provide so much food at the present time don't ask who it will be!

If it weren't for the experience in Benyama Villa, Zhu Gong would probably still be addicted to his beautiful fantasies, and he would be glad to catch a fish that slipped through the net. However, now this shockingly high amount of money and food transactions has pushed him even more into the abyss of collapse.

People don't know it, and Zhu Gong at this time finally realized the deep meaning of this sentence. Compared with the behemoth Shen family, he is just a little ant, ridiculous and self-conscious, he can't see Mount Tai in a leaf, and he actually wants to stage a miracle of ants swallowing elephants!

As soon as he made this discovery, Zhu Gong realized that he had escaped in the past, but in fact, his life was hanging by a thread, and the Shen family had many opportunities to crush him, but he had always let it go.

As for the other big people who watched from the wall, they were probably happy to watch him make a joke, and no one came to wake him up, a crazy person in his dreams, but instead contributed to the troubles behind the scenes. In this contest of disparity in power, whoever loses and who wins, there is no loss for them.

If the reflection and chagrin of his past behavior only woke Zhu Gongmei up, then when he found that he had been trapped in the house by the Shen family, it made him realize the cold reality even more: now, the Shen family does not dare to touch him, but to maintain a decent appearance, and what he is worried about is the Zhu family behind him, which is the opponent of the Shen family at one level.

After hesitating for a few days, what Zhu Gong considered was whether to completely bow to the Shen family, or to ask the Zhu family for help and struggle again?

The evil act of spoiling a concubine and killing his wife is a lifeline for Zhu Gong. Zhu Men Gaodi can't tolerate this kind of bad behavior and notoriety in his own court. Originally, Zhu Gong still hoped to use grain to clamp down on the Shen family, but the Shen family suddenly appeared with a Liquan real pulp, which made his hard work come to naught.

The big families are just greedy, or they have the idea of suppressing the Shen family, but they have no characterization of sitting idly by and being unmoved by the huge temptation. The Shen family can exchange food and food here, and break out of the food poverty. In this way, Zhu Gong's greatest reliance is no longer there.

Once his bad deeds are exposed, it is very likely that the Zhu family will clean up the portal to maintain the clear view of the family, and the Shen family will naturally not let him go. After weighing it for a long time, Zhu Gong still decided to give up the struggle, taking advantage of the fact that the Shen family still had some restraint on the Zhu family, and used grain as money to buy his life. Once the trouble is out of control, he will ruin not only himself, but also his son's future, and no one will associate with the person who bears such notoriety.

When Shen Zhezi learned the news of Zhu Gong's arrival, he was chatting with his two cousins in his aunt's room. These two people are not very old, one is fourteen or fifteen years old, and the other is only a few months older than Shen Zhezi. They didn't know that the relationship between their family and the Shen family had reached the level of being poor, and they admired Shen Zhezi, a famous cousin, very much, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The servant reported that Zhu Gong was kneeling in front of the door, Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to go out to meet, but separated the two cousins, informed his aunt of the matter, and said, "I don't know what my aunt is going to do?" ”

When Shen heard the news, he was silent for a long time. She has a tough personality, but after all, she learned "The Female Commandment", and her husband's family and her mother's family are incompatible, and she has suffered a lot during this time. She was completely disappointed in Zhu Gong, but the arrival of the two children aroused her maternal warmth, and it was difficult to give up.

At this time, hearing Shen Zhezi's inquiry, Shen was entangled for a long time, covered his face with both hands and said sadly: "I don't know what to do?" Tetsuko, have you taught me? ”

Shen Zhezi knew what his aunt was embarrassed about, and Zhu Gong's favored concubine and killing his wife not only hurt the Shen family, but also a great shame for the Shen family. The difficulty of the Shen family is still thinking about the two sons, once this matter is noisy, the future of the two will be ruined.

Although Shen Zhezi had exhausted all the measures, he couldn't bear to push his aunt into a desperate situation, and he said after a moment of silence: "My aunt misses her two cousins, and her nephew also knows it. The elders in the family, I can persuade them not to be held accountable. Even if they can maintain a surface, it is just impossible for the elders to let the aunt return home. ”

Shen Shi also knew this well, and after hearing this, he nodded and said, "If you can do this, thank you Zhezi for keeping my dignity for me." It's just that I don't worry about the two children going back to the Zhu family......"

She was worried that those two children would be contaminated with Zhu Gong's vices, and it would be impossible for the Shen family to have a deep friendship with the Zhu family in the future. When the two children returned home, it was no longer possible for her mother to take care of them.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll talk to Zhu Mingfu about this matter. He should be able to understand your painstaking efforts and will not force the two cousins to return home. ”

Shen Zhezi said on his lips, but sighed in his heart. Even if there is enmity between husband and wife, if they can refrain from tolerating each other for their children, they will not end up seeing each other. But if the two families are involved, it is already a matter of each other's fame and dignity.

Thinking so, Shen Zhezi walked to the door of the old mansion, and even saw a gray-haired man kneeling in front of the door, carrying thorns naked. Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be taken aback, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and Zhu Gong, who was originally in the prime of life, had already shown obvious old age, almost white-headed overnight.

At this time, Zhu Gong no longer had the previous brazenness, mourning was greater than his heart dying, kneeling in front of the courtyard like a wood carving. The Shen family's vast and magnificent old mansion was like a mountain that made him unable to raise his head. It's ridiculous that not long ago, he even fantasized about being the master of this house!

It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord. Shen Zhezi not only loved this poem, but also took it as a creed. But all enemies can only be safed if they are completely maimed and killed, and any illusion of pity is false.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, Zhu Gong slowly raised his somewhat stiff neck, and then saw Shen Zhezi standing in the door. Now that he sees Shen Zhezi again, he doesn't have much hatred in his heart, and he can barely say that his heart is unsettled, that is, he regrets that he didn't really kill this young man in his own manor that day. This young man can not only pretend, but also ruthless inside, which is much more terrifying than Shen Chong.

"Sinners under the door, pray to the benefactor, beg for the old love, and forgive the past sins of the protégé."

Zhu Gong pushed forward with both hands and bowed deeply under the courtyard.

Shen Zhezi pondered for a moment, and did not go down the steps to greet him, but raised his hand to signal slightly, and a servant approached down to help Zhu Gong up, untie the thorns on his back, and put on a coat for him.

After entering the hall, although Zhu Gong had to sit at the table, he turned slightly sideways to show respect, looked at Shen Zhezi who was sitting opposite him, and looked out of the door, showing a few bitter smiles on his face: "Madame, isn't she going to see me again?" ”

"My aunt is sad in her heart, and the Ming Mansion should know it, so why bother asking again."

Shen Zhezi said: "Fortunately, the two cousins are respectful and obedient, so that my aunt can feel a little relieved. It doesn't have to be like this, and now my family and the Ming Mansion don't know how to get along. ”

When Zhu Gong heard this, his expression became even more lazy, and he didn't say more, but he just put his hands forward, and even though a servant put a brocade box on the table in front of Shen Zhezi: "This is the details of the grain I raised near Wukang, please Xiao Langjun count and inspect it, and collect it into the warehouse." ”

Shen Zhezi pressed the brocade box virtually, did not open it to count, and ordered: "Copy a copy of this account and leave it for the Ming Mansion for the record." In the coming year, the new grain will be stored without damage, and the original amount will be returned. ”

The original amount is returned?

When Zhu Gong heard these beautiful words, his heart became even more bitter. The price of grain fluctuates, how can the value be the same before the year after the year, especially the grain in his last income bank, the price is more than ten times that of previous years. But with the world like this, what room does he have to struggle? The Shen family did not rush to kill everything, and even borrowed and repaid, which was the best result for him.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Gongcai said again: "Don't dare to hide it from Xiao Langjun anymore, this time in order to raise rice and grain, most of my family's land has been mortgaged and turned. This is self-inflicted, and there is no shame to ask for. My sins are unforgivable, but I ask the Honorable House to remember the innocence of my child, so that I can preserve one or two places. ”

The reason why Zhu Gong finally chose to bow to the Shen family instead of asking for help from his own family is also an important reason. The money and grain he borrowed were mortgaged by his land, and the conditions were extremely harsh, and it was impossible to return it as promised. He bowed his head to the Shen family, and the family business was presented with both hands, and the Shen family naturally had the responsibility to deal with this problem.

"I wonder if you ever brought the covenant?"

Shen Zhezi is not surprised by this, if he has no responsibility, how can he benefit? Floating wealth is a small matter, and industry is the fundamental. In the future, even if he returns the Zhu family's property, he will have to be placed under his own vassals, and it will be impossible for him to stand on his own.

Zhu Gong had already prepared, and then asked people to present a brocade box. This time, Shen Zhezi opened it and couldn't help but smack his tongue that this Zhu Gong is really bold, and the conditions of the contract are even harsher than those of usury, which shows that this guy is completely reckless in order to fight his own family, and it is not a pity to die.

There are many covenants in this brocade box, involving more than 10 million goods, and of course it is impossible for the Shen family to repay them, but they rely on their own momentum to settle the overly demanding requirements. Being able to come forward to help fight for a mediation space is already considered benevolent and righteous.

However, what attracted Shen Zhezi's attention was that the Yan family was the largest creditor of Zhu Gong and provided him with most of the financial support. It seems that he can successfully lead Zhu Gong into the urn, and the Yan family is indispensable to help behind him.

Originally, Shen Zhezi secretly complained that his subordinate general Ma Cheng was not generous enough and did not send a coffin to Yan Ping. Now it seems that the Yan family has filled the coffin first.

He picked out the covenant involving the Yan family, and then under Zhu Gong's dumbfounded gaze, he got up and threw it into the charcoal basin casually. The flames licked and licked, and soon devoured the letter of covenant, which represented millions of dollars, and turned it into ashes.
