The room was a mess, with shards of porcelain all over the floor, a few pieces that had been kicked over, and a few disheveled strands of silk cloth. The two maids knelt deep in the garbage, their foreheads pressed against the ground, their faces bloodless, and their shoulders and backs trembling.

"Pull these two down for me, and whip them twenty! Lock them up in the deep pavilion and don't let me see them again! ”

Wang Xingzhi sat on the seat, one leg stretched out, and another maid trembled and rubbed the ankle that had been twisted when he kicked the case. His face was pale, his sideburns were slightly messy, and his shirt was half-open, revealing a slightly pale chest, which was rising and falling violently, which showed the depth of resentment.

When the two maids heard such a severe punishment, their bodies couldn't help but tremble more intensely, but they didn't even dare to say words begging for mercy, but there was a faint cry of almost despair in their throats. Soon several strong servants rushed into the room and violently dragged the two delicate and feeble maids out.

There were still several servants and maids standing in the room, all of whom did not dare to come out, except for the sound of sobbing on the other side of the room. A woman was crying in front of the window, she was the hostess of this room, Wang Xingzhi's wife Song.

The two husbands and wives, one sitting alone in the table full of anger, the other sitting behind the back and weeping, did not communicate with each other, which made the atmosphere in the room extremely dull.

After a long time, the Song family slowly turned around, although her appearance was not very delicate, but there was a kind of gentle temperament of everyone, she silently got up and bowed deeply in front of Wang Xingzhi's table, and choked up: "The woman was originally from a humble family, and there are few people around her. Small blame and big resentment, dare not argue deeply, but begging two corpses to be buried and returned to the earth, all a master-servant relationship. ”

"You have a grudge in your heart, you might as well say it bluntly, why do you want to ridicule me with those two cheap maids?"

Wang Xingzhi heard the woman's whispering, and his expression became even more indignant: "I just punished you two servants, which will cause you to be full of resentment." Your family hurt my uncle's voice, how can this old gap be repaid! ”

When Song heard this, his expression became even more sad, and the tears that he had already held back fell silently again, and he sobbed: "The foolish woman in the room, it is rare for her husband to be happy, and she dares to ask for release, and she dare not stay and annoy." ”

After Wang Xingzhi heard this, his eyebrows suddenly rose, he kicked the maid beside him, stood up suddenly, pointed at the lady condescendingly, and said in a fierce voice: "You woman, ask for it at this time, because I don't think my face is clean enough!" Am I to blame you? Your brother, I was a kind-hearted supporter, but he slandered my uncle on the ship, and caused discord in my court! I, I ......"

Speaking of this, Wang Xingzhi was so angry that he didn't know how to say it anymore. He just felt that the whole world was against him, and that days had passed since the humiliation of that night, and he was still afraid to look back. Cousin Wang Yi has not seen him for many days, and the even more disgusting Shen concubine is even more difficult to see, and only by venting his anger on the woman in this room can he soothe the resentment in his heart a little.

But this lady is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she asks for it, which makes him angry and a little worried. After pondering for a long time, he said: "It's my anger for a while, and foreign affairs have nothing to do with you." Don't think about that kind of stupid talk, don't talk about it again! ”

With that, he limped out of the room and sat directly on the chariot that his family had already carried him.

wandering in the manor, Wang Xingzhi didn't know where to go. Usually at this time, he had already begun to prepare for the night tour, but the lighting of Shen Yuan's Star Tower the night before, coupled with his cousin Wang Xizhi's words that night, made Wang Xingzhi ashamed to do that kind of behavior that was obviously inferior to others.

What's more, the day after that night, the subordinates of Danyang County came to the house to inform him that the governor was not happy that his family had occupied the river for a long time and disturbed the people, and warned him not to gather for a night tour!

This incident inevitably made Wang Xingzhi even more embarrassed, even if he was at fault for occupying the river, wouldn't the Shen family's noisy lights at night disturb people's dreams? In the past, there was no warning, but it was precisely at this time that it was clearly the county government that used the arrogance of the Shen raccoon dog to suppress him!

But even without the warnings of the county government, the night tour would not have been organized. Wang Xingzhi has been staying in the east of Qingxi for a few days, and there are not even many people who come to visit, which shows that the hearts of his friends are scattered.

Originally, before his father left the capital, Wang Xingzhi got his advice, and he thought it was just a simple matter. The people of his family are looking here, and it is difficult to overpower the raccoon dog in one fell swoop. At first, things went smoothly, but he didn't expect to be hit by a blow in the face, which made him run his business for many days.

In the past few days, Wang Xingzhi is not only sulking, but also thinking about how that raccoon dog can win. The answer is actually very simple, that bullshit star picking tower towering on the bank of the Qinhuai River is already very ostentatious, and many people are happy to climb and watch the vista.

Wang Xingzhi didn't have the idea of competing for power, but after looking for someone to inquire about the geometry of the labor waste from the star picking building, his heart was cold for most of the time. It's not that his family can't get this money, the key is that he can't use that much money. What's more, now that the construction matters in the capital are controlled by Nan Raccoon, even if he has enough money, he may not be able to afford to build a building.

This idea can only be stopped, the raccoon dog is rich, and he can't do it. Originally, Wang Xingzhi thought that with the popularity of his family, how could he not be able to compare to Shen's copper stink? But this setback made him understand not to have high hopes for the times. People tend to follow flashy and superficial things, and it is difficult to distinguish between the virtuous and the foolish!

Those mediocre people, including his cousin Wang Xizhi, originally ignored them, but they were able to hear and hear quietly. But not to mention that Wang Xingzhi himself was taught by his father, just the blow the day before yesterday, if he can't fight back, it will be tantamount to admitting that he is not as good as a raccoon dog? In the future, if the star picking tower does this again, he will inevitably become a laughing stock in the capital for a long time!

His father taught him to overpower the raccoon dog, but instead of doing it, he rose even more, which Wang Xingzhi couldn't bear!

After a while, he asked his family to send him to the study, summoned the steward of the village, and asked directly, "How much money is available in the village right now?" ”

After hearing this, the steward carefully calculated it before replying: "If Lord Lang wants to use it immediately, he can support more than 30,000 at the moment." If you can sell it for a few days, you can use more than 50,000 yuan. ”

When Wang Xingzhi heard this, his brows were already wrinkled, he smashed the cup on the case, pointed at the steward and reprimanded angrily: "This village has more than 100 acres of land, and the number of people is more than hundred. Are you wicked slave deceiving me into being lazy and greedy in private! ”

When the steward heard this reprimand, he hurriedly avoided the table and knelt down, and said with a bitter face: "How dare the slave! Earlier, the Maharaja had a wide range of subordinates, and he wanted to use his property, and each village was transferred, and there was not much left. At present, tens of thousands of dollars are still the income from the sale of fruit mulberry, the autumn harvest has not passed, and the annual output has not yet returned to the thin ......"

Wang Xingzhi was a little relieved when he heard this, and then asked: "If it is a year-old harvest, how much can it be collected?" ”

"After deducting the consumption of human food, the new grain can be put into the warehouse for more than 4,000 hu. This is the usual number of harvests in the old year, but last year's war disaster was implicated, and this year Tanaka employs too many workers, and it is already a large number to get 3,000. However, it is difficult to exchange these new grains for money for a while, and the rice is cheap in the harvest year, and there is still Wu grain coming from the north......"

"I don't want to hear these things, I just ask you, after the autumn harvest, can you send me 300,000 yuan?"

Wang Xingzhi was extremely uninterested in the steward's words, and he didn't understand them, so he asked directly. If he wants to give Shen a severe blow and defeat him in the realm of his family, he naturally has to prepare a wide range of goods. There are many rumors in the capital that the little raccoon dog will cost two or three hundred thousand yuan after a big feast, which can be described as spending money like running water.

The amount of 300,000 yuan has been calculated by Wang Xingzhi for a long time, and he thinks that he can bear a limit. Just thinking about it, I can't help but feel distressed, even if so much money is in the most stable and prosperous years in the capital, it is enough to buy a small business. That little raccoon dog often makes a big feast, and it is difficult to measure how much it consumes, is it that there is an inexhaustible copper mountain gold mine in his Wuzhong Township!

When the steward heard this number, his face was bitter, not only could this amount not be achieved, even if it was discounted, the entire manor would be greatly damaged, and it would be unsustainable in the coming year. It is important to know that the operation of the manor is not a profiteering, but a long-term profit that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The steward babbled about many hardships, and Wang Xingzhi finally only heard one result, that is, he couldn't raise it! In addition to resentment, he asked the steward to be corporal punishment, and sat alone in the room thinking about countermeasures.

The Wang family's natural family has a big business, not to mention the close to Gyeonggi, there are thousands of hectares of property in Langya County alone, not to mention a large number of protégés' New Year's offerings. However, Wang Xingzhi, as an ordinary child in the sect, is not qualified to meddle in the sect's property at all, and the private property under his name is only this manor, which is still allocated to him by the sect to establish a family when he becomes a family.

From the manor, coupled with the gift money allocated in the middle of the month and the rewards of the elders, Wang Xingzhi lived quite calmly in previous years. But when he decided to compete with the rich family of the Shen family, he realized what kind of humble man he was!

If you don't have enough money, it's not that you don't have any other way. Wang Xingzhi knew that his lady's makeup industry was several times richer than his own, although the Song family was not from the south, but his father-in-law Song Zhe was the popular among Yongliang, and many of the successors were attached to him, which should not be underestimated.

But the problem is that nowadays, the woman's property is independent and not under the control of her husband's family, not to mention that Wang Xingzhi has just become angry with the Song family, and he turned his head to borrow money again, which is really unbearable.

The day before yesterday was humiliated, and I couldn't help but report it, but I had no money in my hand, and I really didn't have much confidence. If you are looking for someone to borrow, among your own brothers, the eldest brother Wang Pengzhi went south with his father, and the second brother Wang Biaozhi was paralyzed at home, and it was difficult to speak. The more recent Wang Xizhi, Wang Huzhi, etc., are either not lacking in discord, or do not have many contacts. As for the rest, the relationship is even more distant, how embarrassed to borrow so much money.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Xingzhi remembered that someone was chosen, that is, the concubine of Taibao and Wang Jingyu's biological mother, Lei. The Lei family itself is responsible for taking care of the property in the Wang family's capital, and he also has a good business, and he has a lot of money and private business, not to mention that his mother's family Hu'er has a big industry in the township. If she was willing to help herself, hundreds of thousands of dollars would not be a big problem for her.

Thinking of this, Wang Xingzhi couldn't sit still, and asked people to prepare their cars and prepare to return to the capital.
