History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws

Chapter 117: the foundation is over! Master Xu spurts blood and falls! You’re so vicious!

The cocoon was a flammable object.

The bamboo basket was also a flammable object.

Even the pillars and eaves of the warehouse were flammable.

Therefore, the fire was extremely fierce.

In just a few moments, the entire warehouse was on fire.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

The shop assistant who was the first to notice the fire immediately shouted.

“Quickly put out the fire, put out the fire, Yingluo!”

This workshop was lacking in Everything But Water. There were large water tanks everywhere.

Soon, dozens of workers poured water on the fire with buckets and basins.

The walls of these storehouses were all made of mud, and it was very difficult to burn through them in a short time.

If this continued, the fire might really be extinguished.

However,

In a warehouse a few hundred meters away.

A very strange scene appeared.

Two workers were carrying a basket of silkworm cocoons inside.

Suddenly, he was startled.

A ball of green flames suddenly appeared.

Ghost fire!

The two servants swore that this was ghost fire, the same as the ghost fire they had seen in the tomb.

It was still too late.

Another worker at the side immediately wanted to pour some water to put out the fire, but the water tank was dozens of meters away.

Therefore, he had an idea. He picked up the teacup and poured it over. If it still didn’t work, he would release the water to extinguish the fire.

He fantasized about how much money he would get after extinguishing the flame and making a great contribution.

However, a shocking scene appeared.

Such a small ball of fire was actually not extinguished.

The Will-O-Wisp was actually swaying in the water and dancing in the water.

In this world, there was actually a fire that couldn’t be put out even with water?

It really was a Will-O-Wisp!

Soon, all the cocoons in the basket were on fire.

This seemed to be a signal.

What happened next was even more bizarre and terrifying.

In a large workshop of a few hundred acres, in dozens of warehouses.

Ghostly fire started to burn one after another.

Without any warning, it was as if it was the doing of a malicious ghost.

Basket after basket of cocoons were set on fire.

They set fire to one storeroom after another.

In the beginning, these people were still desperately trying to put out the fire.

Then, he was completely stunned!

When everyone saw this scene, they felt their blood run cold.

“Ah, Yingluo, there’s a ghost, there’s a ghost Yingluo!”

A few storehouses, a dozen storehouses, dozens of storehouses started to burn.

This fire could no longer be put out.

Everyone was here to earn money, so why would they work for their boss?

there’s a ghost, there’s a ghost! Everyone, run!

“Run quickly, it’ll be too late if you don’t run, it’s too late, sob sob”

Then, hundreds of workers swarmed out.

He rushed out of the workshop.

It was still safe outside.

Because of the high walls.

These walls were originally meant to prevent thieves, but now they had become the best isolation zone.

A few hundred workers stood outside the workshop.

The autumn wind blew.

The fire in the workshop grew fiercer.

In a short period of time, hundreds of acres of large workshops were plunged into a sea of fire.

No one could save this fire.

There was an astronomical number of cocoons inside, an uncountable amount of raw silk, and an endless amount of silk.

All of them were burned.

Just this few hundred mu workshop alone was worth more than tens of thousands of gold coins.

These hundreds of workers were filled with fear and joy.

Xu bapi was in big trouble this time.

However, with the big workshop burned down, their jobs were also destroyed.

“Ghost fire, it’s definitely ghost fire.”

I heard that this place is actually a ten thousand people pit.

“The malicious ghost is here for revenge. I saw the ghost fire with my own eyes.”

The hundreds of workers discussed and concluded that it was a will-o’- the-wisp.

Hundreds of people could see that the green flame had appeared out of thin air.

No one had set the fire.

In the midst of the fire, the wind howled like the wailing of ghosts.

The hundreds of workers were even trembling in fear.

“It smells so good, I’m hungry,” one of the workers suddenly said.

Everyone sniffed at it. It was indeed very fragrant.

How many cocoons were there in these countless cocoons? of course, they would be fragrant after being roasted over a large fire.

These workers were heartless.

However, the supervisor of the major workshop was Xu Guangyun’s confidant.

Seeing this scene, his legs went soft, and he almost peed himself.

It was over, it was over.

Everything was over!

“Hurry, hurry into the city and report to the patriarch!”

Then, the workshop’s guards got on their horses and rushed toward the Xu family’s residence in Xuanwu city.

......

At the highest point of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

Shen lang waited here after dinner and even reserved the best seat in advance.

After making tea, she prepared melon seeds and snacks.

They were just waiting to watch a good show.

He didn’t have to wait for long.

The sky in the West was lit up by the flames.

The fire was too big. Hundreds of acres of the workshop were all on fire.

Even though they were more than twenty miles away, they could see it clearly.

Mulan was wearing a dress and stood by the side to watch.

Shen lang sneaked over and sniffed.

Wifey smells so good.

Then, Shen lang saw that Mulan’s eyes were filled with tears.

She wasn’t sympathizing with the Xu family, but she hated destruction.

No matter who was the one who built it, it was not easy to build it. It was heartbreaking to burn it down in such a big fire.

“Wifey, we are doing this for survival.” “In this world, nothing is more important than survival,” Shen lang said softly. Even if you have good intentions, you must first survive.”

“I know,” “I’m sad, but I don’t regret it,” Mulan said.

Shen lang kissed Mulan’s forehead gently and said, ” “Wifey has always been strong. Your husband has never seen you so fragile.”

“You’ll see more and more in the future,” Mulan said.

These words were actually the biggest confession.

Why would a strong person become so fragile?

The reason was simple!

......

Xu Guangyun was holding a banquet.

Previously, Xu Qianqian and Zhang Jin’s engagement party was too high-end. The businessmen in Xuanwu city and even some relatives and friends of the Xu family were not qualified to attend.

They had planned to hold another party a day after the engagement party to invite all the businessmen and relatives.

However, on the engagement banquet that night, Shen lang had won the entire round, and the Xu family had lost all their face. Thus, the banquet was naturally left unsettled.

But today was a good day!

Shen lang lost, and the Xu family won.

Therefore, master Xu held this supplementary banquet and invited all the rich businessmen.

Shen Lang’s bones and spine were finally broken today.

“Did you guys see how Shen lang looked today? Not only did he bow and apologize to master Xu, but he also personally burned thousands of his own books. This scene is too satisfying.”

that’s right. This little bastard fainted on the spot. I heard that he vomited blood after he was carried back to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

Lord Xu has struck it rich this time. Buying 300000 catties of silkworm cocoons at a 40% discount. Where in the world would there be such a good business? ”

Xu Guangyun smiled and said,”what’s the big deal?” There were still over three million pounds of cocoons produced in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu’s fief. I’m planning to buy them all at a 30% discount.”

As soon as he said that, everyone was envious and jealous.

It was amazing that she had a marriage alliance with the governor. She had thought that it would be a bottomless pit that she would have to pour money into.

He didn’t expect to earn so much money.

It seemed that the power of power and money combined was the greatest.

“Can Shen lang not sell it? Would he dare to not sell it? If he doesn’t sell them, the moths in the cocoons will fly out. By then, the 100000 people will be hungry and will skin him alive. These 100000 people will burn the entire Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to ashes.”

“What can uncle Black Tortoise do? Using his own money to buy food to feed these 100000 people? I’m not afraid to tell you that not only does the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu have no money, but it is also in debt. The amount of money that they owe can not be paid off in a few lifetimes.”

the Jin family is just a pile of bones in a tomb. They’re almost finished!

as for Shen lang, since he compromised for the first time, he has no bottom line. Xu Guangyun said indifferently,”he wants me to purchase the remaining three million catties of silkworm cocoons in his fief?” Sure, kneel down in front of me and kowtow to me as an apology.”

that’s right, that’s right. Let Shen lang, this little bastard, kowtow and apologize to master Xu!

Everyone tried to please him.

Xu Qianqian did not drink with them. Instead, she was drinking alone in her room in the embroidery building.

She wanted to celebrate this victory in peace.

Just like what those people had said, Shen Lang’s spine was broken.

If he could burn the books in public today, he could kneel and kowtow tomorrow.

Once a person broke through the bottom line of their dignity, they would have no bottom line.

When she thought about Shen langdao’s future, Xu Qianqian felt happy and even a little sympathetic.

Shen lang, you should not have gone to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to be a live-in son-in-law. You should have been a servant in my family. That way, you would have a better ending.

A bootlicker should be a bootlicker for life. Why did he change his stance?

After the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was destroyed? Shen lang, you’ll die without a burial place.

Moreover, it seemed like Shen lang might not be able to last until that day.

Xu Qianqian picked up her wine glass and opened the window. She looked at the bright moon in the sky and sniffed the fragrance of the osmanthus flowers of the third season.

She had a little too much to drink and was a little tipsy.

For some reason, it felt a little wet.

They raised their cups and invited the moon to drink with them.

Xu Wanwan couldn’t come up with such an awesome poem. In fact, she didn’t like to compose poems, and she didn’t like to be a talented woman.

One cup to the bright moon, one cup to destruction.

Shen lang, your short legendary life is over.

Xu Qianqian finished her drink in one go.

And then,

She seemed to see a ball of fire.

To be precise, it was not a fire, but a red light in the Western sky.

Her heart couldn’t help but tremble.

That seemed to be the direction of her family’s workshop?

Although the Xu family was rich, they were still merchants. They could not be like the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, which was built on a mountain.

The terrain here was not high enough, and he could not see clearly.

Xu Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then she ran to the highest point of the house.

Please don’t, please don’t!

Xu Qianqian prayed in her heart as she ran.

......

Xu Guangyun was a little drunk.

His personality was wild and arrogant to begin with, and at this moment, he was so proud that he even forgot himself.

“Everyone, my family is going to hold a grand banquet tomorrow. Please continue to come and let everyone watch a good show.”

“At my daughter’s engagement party, didn’t Shen lang win all of his glory? Tomorrow night, I’ll make him kneel and apologize in public.”

if he doesn’t kneel, I will let the 100000 people in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu starve to death!

“Hahahaha!”

And at this moment!

Hurried footsteps could be heard from outside.

The manager of the Xu family’s workshop rushed in with more than a dozen guards. Their faces were still black, and their bodies were covered in ashes.

Seeing this group of people in a sorry state, Xu Guangyun said unhappily, ” “What are you all doing? I’m full of friends here, and you’re all in such a sorry state, aren’t you ruining my face?”

The chief Steward suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, wailing, ” “Master, bad news, bad news. Our workshop is on fire, everything has been burned clean, countless cocoons, countless raw silk and silk, all burned, it’s all over, it’s all over, it’s all over!”

As soon as he said this, Xu Guangyun’s body swayed.

He even dug his ears as if he was hallucinating.

All the guests in the hall fell into silence.

He could not believe his ears.

The Xu family’s big workshop was burned down?

How was that possible?

There were water tanks and water vapor everywhere. How could it burn?

After a long while, Xu Guangyun suddenly stepped forward and kicked the chief Steward.

“I’ll let you talk nonsense! Are you tired of living or have you drunk too much cat urine?”

“It’s true, it’s true. Master, you’ll know when you see it.” The chief Steward kowtowed desperately.

At this moment, Xu Qianqian ran over like a gust of wind.

“Father, something bad has happened. There’s a fire in the West.”

“Men, prepare the carriage. We’re going to the workshop!”

A moment later, Xu Guangyun and Xu Qianqian were in a carriage and were rushing towards the large workshop outside the city.

......

When Xu Wanwan and Xu Guangyun arrived.

The entire workshop was already surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.

It was not to put out the fire, but to prevent it from spreading.

Because there was no need to save the workshop.

It was almost burnt out, and many walls were starting to collapse.

The long johns were cool, but being so close to the fire field, it felt like being roasted.

However, Xu Guangyun’s body was cold and he could not feel any warmth.

He looked at the fire that soared to the sky.

All of his drunkenness had disappeared without a trace.

A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

It had been decades. This large workshop had expanded from a few acres to dozens of acres, and finally to hundreds of acres before it could reach this scale.

It was the foundation of two generations.

Not to mention that there was an astronomical number of cocoons, raw silk, and silk inside.

Now, he had actually burned them all.

How big was the loss?

Only the heavens knew!

This was the majority of his wealth.

This big workshop was the foundation of the Xu family!

Now, it was all ruined.

Just two hours ago, he was still feeling proud of himself, as if he was at the peak of his life.

At this moment, it was as if fate had kicked him to the 18th level of hell.

Oh my God?

Oh my God?

God, why are you doing this to me?

why didn’t you put out the fire? why didn’t you put out the fire?! Xu Guangyun roared madly.

“I can’t, I can’t,” the great manager wailed. Dozens of storehouses were set on fire at the same time. That fire was very strange, even water could not put it out.”

It’s all over, it’s all over!

“Ahoho ahoho”

Xu Guangyun roared like a wounded beast.

Immediately after, he felt a stream of air rushing about in his chest and abdomen.

That suffocating feeling was about to make people explode.

Then, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

This time, he really vomited blood!

Moreover, it was spurting out one mouthful after another.

Then, Shen Lang’s face appeared in Xu Guangyun’s mind. He was like a poisonous snake that sneered.

Shen lang, you’re so evil. You’re so evil, Yingluo.

Then, Xu Guangyun suddenly fell backward.
