Chapter 76 Beautiful Misunderstanding
Border Town is Shen Yu's territory, how could he not know that Feng Wei had arrived in Border Town.
What's more, if the blind girl is Shen Yu's woman, Commander Wei's disappearance may be related to Shen Yu.
The deputy commander of Fengwei knew it very well, but without evidence, he dared not say it out loud and could only continue to keep a low profile.
"Please help, General. Commander Wei is a noble man, and this is in the border town. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for the General and us to explain ourselves."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, "Why, are you threatening this general?"
"I dare not." The deputy commander of Fengwei broke out in a cold sweat.
Shen Yu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip without saying a word, just leaving him alone.
In just a short while, the clothes of the deputy commander of Fengwei were soaked with cold sweat.
He gritted his teeth and kowtowed three times.
"Please help me, General!"
Only then did Shen Yu calmly put down the cup and lazily played with the jade Pixiu ornament.
"What is the deputy commander doing? How dare Shen accept such a great gift from the deputy commander?"
He said this, but he didn't even stand up. He just raised his hand vaguely, "Hurry up and let's discuss this. Commander Wei and I serve in the same court. How can I stand by and watch him get into trouble?"
When the Phoenix Guard Commander heard this, he was about to relax his vigilance, but Shen Yu's next words made him nervous again.
Chen Yu: "However, the people of Mobei have been restless recently, and the border city garrisons are all stationed at the Military Affairs Office. Right now, we really can't spare any men. If we really need to mobilize men, we can only find a way from the reserve service. As you all know, recruiting reserve soldiers costs money, and now that military pay is tight, the border city garrisons really can't come up with the money."
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing that Deputy Commander Fengwei doesn't understand.
General Shen, this is clearly taking advantage of the situation and making them bleed heavily.
"This, this..." The deputy commander of the Phoenix Guard wiped the sweat from his forehead. "We can afford this. May I ask how much silver General Shen wants to recruit the reserve soldiers?"
Shen Yu stretched out his hand and counted with his fingers.
The deputy commander of the Fengwei took a deep breath and was so scared that he began to stutter.
"Five, five hundred thousand taels?"
Shen Yu's eyes flashed, and then he asked sternly without changing his expression: "Why, you don't agree? Isn't Commander Wei's life worth this much?"
"It's worth it!" The deputy commander of the Phoenix Guards kept wiping his sweat, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Agree! We agree!"

In the courtyard, Wen Wan was eating. After listening to Shen Yu's description, she almost spit out a mouthful of rice.
"Your general really only wanted fifty thousand taels?"
Wen Wan couldn't help shaking her head. "Oh my God! Wei Changjia's people thought your general wanted 500,000 taels? And they agreed to it!"
This kind of mistake is ridiculous, but also very satisfying.
Shen Yu nodded and habitually picked up some food for her.
"Our general was also surprised at the time, but he took advantage of the situation and managed to keep his composure."
Shen Yu told this to Wen Wan as a joke, letting her vent her anger.
Wen Wan was really pleased and said with a smile, "Although I don't really admire your general's character, I do admire him on this matter. A deal worth 500,000 taels was directly negotiated to 500,000 taels, which means the profit has increased tenfold! That's impressive."
Seeing her happy, Shen Yu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Our general is already powerful, you just don't understand him."
"Stop!" Wen Wan didn't want to discuss the character of her nominal husband with him.
She has lived in the general's mansion for three years. Doesn't she understand the general's character?
He is a real stud, and his backyard is full of delicate women.
Shen Yu: “…”
Wen Wan couldn't help but sigh, "It's only 500,000 taels, but Wei Changjia's people took it out as soon as they said so. The wool comes from the sheep, which is enough to show how much of the people's wealth these people have secretly extorted."
"Yeah." Shen Yu's expression also turned cold.
Wen Wan was in a good mood and ate two bowls of rice in one breath, and her belly became round.
She lay on the couch and beckoned Shen Yu to come over, "Little Shiba Inu, give me some water."
Little Shiba Inu?
Shen Yu's expression froze, but he still poured a cup of warm water and stuffed it into her hand.
Wen Wan drank some water and casually asked, "What on earth did Wei Changjia do? Could it be that he was secretly taken care of by some heroic warrior?"
Chen Yu said in a calm tone, "Who knows? Maybe he'll fall into the cesspool if he drinks too much."
"A cesspool?" Wen Wan laughed so hard she couldn't breathe. "Little Shiba Inu, you're killing someone. If someone of Wei Changjia's status really fell into a cesspool, it would be even more painful than killing him."

Taking money from others to help them get rid of disasters, after Shen Yu received the silver note, he organized people to search for Wei Changjia's whereabouts in the city.
The border town defenders searched extensively for a whole day, turning all the shops, big and small, upside down. They searched almost every place where someone could hide, but unfortunately they still found nothing.
Everyone in the border town was worried about being implicated in this incident.
After dark, there was no one on the street.
That night, the night watchman walked around with a gong in his hand, beating it and singing "Be careful with fire".
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the night watchman shuddered all over, and then he felt an urge to urinate in his lower abdomen.
He was familiar with this area of houses and knew that there was a toilet next to the dilapidated house.
The night watchman rushed into the toilet, put the gong under his armpit, unbuttoned his pants and prepared to go to the toilet.
Suddenly, a hand emerged from the toilet and grabbed his ankle.
“Ghost!”
The night watchman was so frightened that he peed his pants, and the "ghost" was covered in urine.
The next day, Jin Mu led the border town garrison and carried the unconscious Wei Changjia to the post station.
A man covered in dirt and whose appearance could not be seen clearly was lying on a stretcher, and a foul odor wafted from him.
The deputy commander of the Fengwei Guards stepped back step by step, enduring the pungent smell.
"Deputy General Jin, what do you mean?"
Jin Mu exclaimed in mock surprise, "This is your Commander Wei, can't you recognize him?"
"Commander Wei?" Deputy Commander Fengwei looked like he was petrified, his eyes wide open, and the expression on his face was very interesting.
Jin Mu sighed, "Commander Wei has really suffered a great misfortune this time. A night watchman found Commander Wei in a pit toilet on the back street of Chunhua Tower. I remember you said that Commander Wei disappeared while drinking in Chunhua Tower. So it seems that Commander Wei must have drunk too much and accidentally walked to the back street and fell into the pit toilet. Fortunately, it was a dry toilet, otherwise he would have drowned in a few days..."
Jinmu was still expressing his opinions, but the deputy commander of Fengwei caught the important message in his words.
"You, you, you just said, where was our Commander Wei found?"
Kaneki: "In the toilet... in the back street of Chunhua Building!"
