Chapter 91
A crack appeared in the wooden crate, and several icy-looking things rolled out.
The porter, turning back, picked it up as if possessed, and what rolled out of the box was actually a huge silver ingot!
From the cracks in the box, a faint metallic luster emanated.
"Over there! What's going on?!"
The leading official walked over with his hand on his knife, and the porters hurriedly stuffed all the silver on the ground into the box and then frantically lifted it up.
I slipped and fell...
"Look carefully! These things are what the higher-ups want. If you break them, even if you're killed, you won't be able to afford to pay for them!" The official shouted a few words, then turned and left.
Sweat beaded on the porter's forehead.
That huge ingot of silver was enough for their whole family to live on for most of their lives!
late at night.
The enormous ship gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving behind a trail of waves.
The mission is finally complete.
Wen Quan laughed, put his arm around Pei Lingjun's shoulder and shouted, "This chore is finally over! Let's go, brothers, to the brothel and have some fun!"
In fact, most of the time, Wenquan looked down on this cousin from the Song family, not for any other reason than that the Song guy seemed too arrogant.
When he's not smiling, his face is cold and he looks unapproachable.
Aren't the lowly soldiers and generals from a remote, impoverished place just there to work for him?
What's the point of showing off in front of him?
Wen Quan believed he had given Pei Lingjun a great deal of face.
Unexpectedly, Pei Lingjun was unmoved, saying, "I have other things to do, I can't go."
With several underlings watching, Wen Quan, having been humiliated by Pei Lingjun and made a laughingstock of himself by his underlings, could hardly contain himself.
She moved closer, placed her hand on his shoulder, and her smile faded.
"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you work under me, you have to listen to me."
Cui Pei was standing not far away, not knowing what they were talking about, but from his angle, he saw Pei Lingjun's lips curl up very slightly.
His eyes were cold and distant, with a fleeting hint of murderous intent.
Cui Pei shook his head almost imperceptibly, thinking to himself, "What did Wen Quan say to their boss? Doesn't he know his life is about to be in danger?"
"good."
Pei Lingjun didn't say anything unnecessary.
As if they had heard his words, the surrounding crowd cheered and escorted Wen Quan and Pei Lingjun out.
Pei Lingjun deliberately lagged behind a few steps, and while taking Cui Pei along, he whispered something in his ear.
The latter's expression changed drastically.
"Let's get started."
A cold, distant voice drifted through the air as the people ahead walked arm in arm, oblivious to the impending doom.
——
Wen Shu did not return to the Wen residence that day.
It was still night when the maids in Wen Shu's courtyard waited in vain for someone to come, so they had no choice but to go to the First Madam.
The Wen family has been very busy lately.
The First Madam once thought that Wen Shu and her mother Zhou Yun had attracted some unclean things, which caused the Wen family to suffer a series of calamities.
The old lady is still not fully recovered.
"What do you mean 'disappeared'?!"
The First Madam frowned impatiently and glared at the maid. "After going to Guangfu Temple, can a living person just vanish into thin air?!"
The maid shrank back, not daring to object, "But Fourth Miss hasn't returned yet. Should we send someone to look for her?"
