GBP Chapter 140: Fengli Country was once the richest man
Chapter 140: Fengli Country was once the richest man
He was wearing clothes made of the finest Shu brocade, a jade crown on his head, several pieces of emerald jade hanging around his waist, and his fingers were covered with gold and jade rings.
Zhai Yun recognized him immediately. She stood up anxiously and walked behind Feng Chenyi, pulling Feng Chenyi's sleeve. "This is Sun Maotian, Sun Chunan's father."
He was once the richest man in Fengli Country. He was the father of Sun Chunan, who was instigated to have his hands on Zhai Yun when he was a child. In her previous life, Concubine Su needed his support to compete with Queen Bu Yuluo.
When Feng Chenyi heard Sun Chunan's name, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Maotian with a dangerous look. He had been looking for Sun Maotian for so long but couldn't find his whereabouts, and now he ran into him.
Someone in the crowd also recognized Sun Maotian: "Sun Maotian, the former richest man in Fengli Country! Wow? I finally meet him in person."
"As expected of the richest man, his clothes are truly luxurious."
"Why is he here too?"
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd. Some people said that the reason why Sun Maotian was the former richest man was because the wealth of Yunyi Villa now far exceeded his.
When he heard others talking about his outfit, he became arrogant and looked at the people around him with arrogance, as if he was looking down on them.
After a moment of astonishment, everyone realized one thing: Sun Maotian had arrived, and with his wealth, he was bound to win today, while those with average wealth already knew that they had no chance.
Those commoners still wanted to fight for their chance. "I've heard that the two masters of Yunyi Villa are kind and generous, and they don't discriminate against the poor or the rich. We have poured all our wealth here just to fulfill their wish. Now the situation is also controlled by money. How can we survive?"
The people at the banquet were temporarily divided into two factions, but those who were at a financial disadvantage were quickly controlled by the people brought in by Sun Maotian. Sun Maotian already had the momentum to forcibly drive out those who opposed him.
Wei Zi's ears twitched, as if she had heard something. After a long moment, she stood up from her chair and shouted, "Boss Sun! This is our Yunyi Villa's territory. You have no right to chase us away."
Sun Maotian heard someone dare to speak to him like that, and looked at Wei Zi with resentment. His attendant, who was observing his master's words and expressions, saw that his master was angry and immediately shouted: "Asshole, who are you? You are not worthy of speaking to Sun Fuhu, let you take charge!"
When Wei Zi heard this, she winked at the guards around her. The guards immediately walked over and, to the surprise of Sun Maotian and the person who spoke, kicked the person who spoke disrespectfully to the ground.
Sun Maotian was furious when he saw this. When he came in, he had ordered the guards to resist the rioters, so the follower beside him had no skills. Now the people from Yunyi Villa knocked him to the ground as soon as they came in, which was really embarrassing.
"Someone come here!" Sun Maotian wanted to call for help to break up with Yunyi Villa, but just as he shouted, a cold dagger was pressed against his neck.
The guard who had just kicked over his attendant held a dagger against him. Sun Maotian remained calm and showed a mocking smile to Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun on the platform. "It seems that you haven't gotten to know me well enough. I know everyone in the palace. If you dare to touch me, you will suffer the consequences!"
It would have been fine if Sun Maotian didn't mention the people in the palace, but when he mentioned Zhai Yun, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you talking about the Third Prince who was mauled to death by wild dogs outside the Imperial Palace a few days ago, or the Imperial Concubine Su who went crazy in the cold palace for many years and was then sentenced to death?"
They were all dead, and Sun Maotian couldn't have been unaware of it. When he mentioned the people in the palace, those who didn't know would think he knew some important person.
When Sun Maotian heard the two names mentioned by Zhai Yun, his expression gradually darkened. He looked at Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi with a look that could not be underestimated. Sun Maotian asked sternly, "Who are you? How do you know so much about the affairs of the palace?"
Not many people knew about his acquaintance with the two people in the palace. It was not an easy task to arrange someone in the palace to know everything about the palace clearly.
What's more, it is such a strict matter.
Zhai Yun looked at Sun Maotian, who was eager to know their identities, and smiled sarcastically: "I guess you came here this time because of what happened on the night of the Queen Mother's birthday ten years ago?"
That night, his only son entered the palace and never returned! The news of that night was strictly blocked, and after Concubine Su's accident, his contact with the inside was also cut off.
He still didn't know what happened to his son. Was he dead or trapped in the palace?
Sun Maotian was shocked when he heard what Zhai Yun said. Seeing Zhai Yun's expression change from complicated to suspicious, he wondered whether the head of Yunyi Villa really knew what happened that night.
Although he was skeptical, he didn't want to miss any opportunity. "As long as you can tell me what happened that night, I, Sun Maotian, can give you anything you want."
Seeing that Sun Maotian had something to ask of Yunyi Villa, the guard who had put the dagger against his neck slowly retracted the dagger and returned to stand behind Wei Zi. Wei Zi once again stated: "If you come to my Yunyi Villa, you should abide by the rules of my Yunyi Villa. Let your people withdraw!"
The attendant who had just been kicked out by Sun Maotian quickly got up and came to Sun Maotian's side, whispering in his ear: "Master, you must not do this. They are just merchants. How could they possibly know what's going on in the palace?"
When have they ever felt so aggrieved? Not only did they have to look at other people's faces, but they were also kicked to the ground by others.
Sun Maotian was half-believing and half-doubting at first, and he immediately became upset when he heard his followers say this. He had been inquiring for so many years and finally got some information. How could he give up?
But what if the people from Yunyi Villa were playing tricks on them? Then where would he put his reputation as the former richest man in Fengli Country?
Now, not only does he have to be humble, but he also has to consider other people's expressions and follow other people's rules. He, Sun Maotian, has never felt so aggrieved!
The follower wanted to speak, but Sun Maotian slapped him in the face, "You useless idiots! I've asked you to investigate for so many years, and you haven't found any clues."
The beaten attendants immediately looked aggrieved. They were just merchants, without any official position, so how could they know what was going on in the palace? If anyone was to blame, it was the young master who was ignorant at the time and believed other people's lies and insisted on sneaking into the palace to play.
Sun Maotian reluctantly let his men leave Yunyi Villa, leaving only the follower who had just been beaten by his side. After everyone left, Sun Maotian couldn't help but ask again: "Can you tell me this time what happened that night?"
Wei Zi took her time and made a gesture to ask for instructions from Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi.
After getting permission, Wei Zi continued, "We've already asked one question today. Since Boss Sun wants to ask this second question, we need everyone present to agree."
