Chapter 1501

"Are you two teasing this old man?"

"I won't even mention that the guards around the Living Yama are all good hands, as solid as a fortress like a hedgehog; I'm just saying if the Living Yama dies at this time node, do you know what the outcome for the Pei family will be?"

Although Pei Ji's IQ was not high, it was barely enough.

He fell into a silence.

The old servant asked curiously, "What is the outcome?"

Pei Cheng said directly, "The Living Yama dies on the first day, His Majesty announces the arrest of the assassin in the whole city on the next day, and on the third day, the Pei family is the mastermind, and he orders that not even a chicken or dog be left, turning us into flying ash."

The old servant had always been arrogant, and upon hearing Pei Cheng's words, he felt unconvinced and said.

"Family Head, my Pei family is a famous noble family in the world, the head of the five surnames and seven clans. Even if it is His Majesty, does he dare to act against the world without evidence?"

Pei Cheng snorted coldly, "The world is divided by rules. Once my Pei family doesn't follow the rules, then will His Majesty follow the rules?"

"This matter can only be played within the rules, especially for my Pei family!"

Pei Cheng didn't want to continue this idiotic topic, so he said, "What is the reaction in Changancheng now?"

When the old servant heard this, his face turned green.

He sighed and said, "Family Head, we are being scolded miserably. Now the entire Changancheng is waiting to see the Pei family's joke."

"Changan scholars are shouting one after another, saying that my Pei family has no conscience and is destined to stink for ten thousand years. Now even the Royal No. 1 Club opened by the Living Yama is packed with excited Changan scholars."

"This Living Yama, I fear he has made a big profit from it again."

Pei Cheng clenched his fists, his expression ugly as he said, "Damn it! This Living Yama clearly grasped the pain point in the hearts of these scholars, and now the truth is not important at all!"

"But my Pei family's mulberry-bark damask paper costs a hundred coins a sheet, I want to see how many coins his bamboo paper sells for? If he has the guts, let him not earn a single coin and sell it for nineteen coins a sheet!"

Pei Cheng snorted coldly with anger.

At this time.

A trusted subordinate in black rushed into the room, looking panicked.

"Report!"

"Family Head, the Living Yama's first batch of bamboo paper has gone on sale, right in the shop controlled by the Dingguo Duke Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Cheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He said nervously, "How many coins a sheet? It wouldn't be nineteen coins a sheet, would it?"

Pei Cheng couldn't help but be nervous; the Living Yama said the cost was nineteen coins. If it really sold for nineteen coins a sheet, that would be a fatal blow to the Pei family's mulberry-bark damask paper.

He was really afraid that the Living Yama would be ruthless, which would be extremely passive for the Pei family.

"Family Head, it is not nineteen coins a sheet." The subordinate said.

Once these words were spoken.

Pei Cheng smiled, "I thought this Living Yama had some ability. Since he stated the cost, it is a believable cost price. Even if he sells for twenty coins or twenty-one coins, earning one or two coins, it will make people feel unhappy and jealous."

"This is human nature, this is the ugliest part of the human heart. It's a pity that he, the Living Yama, claims to be a business expert and the number one poisonous scholar of Great Qian who plays with human nature, yet he doesn't even understand this principle."

While speaking, Pei Cheng couldn't help but shake his head with a sneer.

But the subordinate's eyes were touched, and he had to interrupt Pei Cheng's fantasy.

He said, "Family Head, it is eighteen coins a sheet."

"Eighteen coins? Eighteen coins is not... how much? Eighteen coins?"

Pei Cheng didn't hear clearly and thought it was twenty-eight coins. He was just about to speak with disdain, but the next second his face changed, and he suddenly raised his voice.

"This Living Yama is selling at a loss?"

Pei Cheng looked dumbfounded, full of disbelief.

The subordinate nodded, "The Living Yama said he wouldn't earn the money of the scholars from poor families in the world. On the contrary, he loses one coin for every sheet he sells. This is his sincerity, which can make him feel at ease!"

"Now the Changan scholars have exploded. Some don't believe it, saying that merchants can't sell at a loss, but they were beaten by angry scholars. Now the Changan scholars are crazy."

"It is said that the threshold of the Royal No. 1 Club has been broken, and that gold-medal technician 'Don't Eat Cilantro' has ten shifts a day, and the reservation is already three months later."

Pei Ji lost his focus and muttered to himself.

"This... how is this possible? The Living Yama actually has such... such character?"

But Pei Cheng said directly with an ugly expression, "What kind of bullshit cost of nineteen coins, losing one coin per sheet? This is clearly fake!"

"This guy is so insidious. In the Jin Luan Hall, he clearly said it on purpose!"

Pei Cheng's expression was distorted, and he said almost through gritted teeth.

"But with my Pei family's mulberry-bark damask paper at a hundred coins a sheet, this fake looks just like the real thing!"

"This guy... he would rather earn less just to make my Pei family die!"

Pei Cheng's eyes were cold, and he closed his eyes, saying word by word, forcing himself to calm down.

As the head of the Pei family, constant anger is useless. The more critical the moment, the more one needs to be calm.

Now Gao Yang's bamboo paper is on sale, and compared to the hundred coins for mulberry-bark damask paper, it only costs eighteen coins a sheet.

And with the gimmick of losing one coin per sheet, he has already checked the Pei family.

He must fight back as quickly as possible, otherwise the overall situation will be decided!

Pei Cheng tapped his fingers on the table, his brain spinning rapidly, starting to think about a way to break the situation.

Pei Ji and the old servant didn't dare to speak, but were extremely anxious in their hearts, and could only stare at Pei Cheng with eager eyes.

The subordinate hesitated, then said, "Family Head, I know a strange person in a Taoist temple outside the city. He can communicate with ghosts and gods and can make blood characters appear on white paper."

In the silent room, the tapping stopped suddenly, and Pei Cheng opened his eyes and said, "Really?"

"This subordinate saw it with his own eyes!"

Pei Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he showed a smile.

"You invite him here immediately, remember not to let the trail leak, this family head has great use for him!"

"Yes!"

The man in black responded and rushed out immediately.

"Family Head, do you have a countermeasure in your heart?" The old servant asked.
