Sima Shi obviously didn't want to wade into this troubled water again, so after rejecting Bai Lingyun, he didn't say anything more and left directly, leaving Bai Lingyun standing in place in a daze.

Yipinju and fiefdom income are the two economic pillars of the Sima family, and they are the guarantee for maintaining the operation of the huge system of the Sima family, the income of the fief is fixed, and the annual increase and decrease does not change too much, and this kind of income on the face is stared at by many people, and the Sima family wants to maintain the operation of the underground forces, the most important thing is to rely on Yipinju.

But since Cao Liang intervened in the Luoyang Wushi Scatter business, Yipinju's Wushi Scatter sales have plummeted, even if Bai Lingyun racks his brains and tries his best, he can't change this decline.

In terms of other businesses, Yipinju is also doing well, but no matter how good other businesses are, they can't make up for the losses caused by the sharp decline in sales of Wushisan, and the profits of Yipinju have declined sharply for two consecutive years.

Although Sima Yi has a special love for Bai Lingyun, it is related to the economic lifeline of the Sima family, and Sima Yi has to consider it carefully, and there are constantly people fanning the flames in Sima Yi's ears, saying that women are not born to do business, and Sima Yi has already moved the mind of removing Bai Lingyun.

Bai Lingyun is naturally anxious, if she does not have the status of the first rank in charge, she is only the most ordinary one among Sima Yi's many concubines, even lower than others, other concubines also have a son and a half daughter, the mother is more expensive than the son, and has some status in the Sima Mansion, but Bai Lingyun has never had children, if she loses her financial power, she may really fall to the bottom of the Sima family, I am afraid that even the maid of the main room can raise eyebrows at her.

In the past few years, Zhang Chunhua, the wife of the main room, is old and decrepit, and has long been disliked by Sima Yi, Sima Yi doesn't even call her name, in front of the subordinates, he calls her "old thing".

However, Sima Yi is very fond of the young and beautiful Bai Lingyun, so it is inevitable that he will be hated by other wives and concubines. Bai Lingyun knew that Sima Yi was old and his longevity would not last forever, and once Sima Yi passed away, Bai Lingyun's position in Sima's Mansion would be in danger.

That's why she wants to firmly hold the economic power of the Sima family in her hands, although this is not a complete insurance, but something is better than nothing, if she doesn't even have economic power, then it is really sad.

Now that Yipinju's business is in trouble, and there is news that Sima Yi wants to send someone to replace her, Bai Lingyun can't help but panic a little, and she can't help but find Sima Shi again, hoping that he can help him and solve the scourge of Cao Liang.

During the time when Cao Liang left Luoyang, she did everything possible to find out that the warlock who prepared Wushisan for Cao Liang was Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two apprentices of Ziyun Daochang.

So Bai Lingyun tried his best to send people close to Qingfeng Mingyue, promised them heavy benefits, and lured them to leave the Cao family.

After successfully plotting against Qingfeng and Mingyue, Bai Lingyun couldn't sleep all night with excitement, she kicked all the other warlocks away, and handed over the preparation workshop of Yipinju Wushisan to Qingfeng Mingyue.

But soon Bai Lingyun was disappointed, because the five stone powder prepared by Qingfeng and Mingyue, from the point of view of quality, is no different from the five stone powder of Yipinju, even Qingfeng and Mingyue are confused, the raw materials are the same, the process is the same, how to prepare the five stone powder and Cao Liang's free five stone powder is completely different?

Bai Lingyun immediately had an epiphany, although Qingfeng and Mingyue were preparation warlocks, but what they mastered was only the process, and the real core thing had always been in Cao Liang's hands, and it was kept secret, even if Bai Lingyun dug up the entire Cao family workshop, he would not be able to replicate the five stone scatters.

It seems that if you really want to crack the secret recipe of the Five Stone Scatter, you have to find a way from Cao Liang.

It's a pity that trying to get the secret recipe of Wushisan from Cao Liang's mouth is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and Wushisan is Cao Liang's only way to make a fortune, how can he destroy his future?

It seems that things are back to the starting point, and in the case of not being able to get the formula of the Five Stone Scatter, the only way to solve the problem is to get rid of Cao Liang.

It's a pity that although Bai Lingyun has a few guards, when it comes to skill, he is far from being the opponent of the square cloth beside Cao Liang.

If you want to get rid of Cao Liang, it seems that you have to take action from Sima Shi's dead soldiers, four dead soldiers can't kill him, forty should be enough, you must know that the Sima family has more than 3,000 dead soldiers, if you really want to get rid of Cao Liang, even a hundred Cao Liang will die.

Therefore, Bai Lingyun still had to come to Sima Shi, she knew that this time Sima Shi's blindness in his left eye was completely due to Cao Liang, Sima Shi's secret plot to kill Cao Liang failed, which caused his eye to be injured by a stray arrow, and after being blind in one eye, Sima Shi's hatred for Cao Liang must be deeper.

At this time, the news of Cao Liang and Yang Huiyu's marriage came from Luoyang City, Bai Lingyun knew that this would definitely deeply stimulate Sima Shi again, and at this time, strike while the iron was hot, maybe he could persuade Sima Shi to send a dead soldier to assassinate Cao Liang again.

As soon as Cao Liang died, Sima Shi's revenge was avenged, the knot in his heart was untied, and Yipinju's business was revitalized, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

But to Bai Lingyun's surprise, Sima Shi actually refused, and the refusal was so neat that he didn't even have a chance to use the set of rhetoric that Bai Lingyun had prepared before.

Sima Shi didn't want to take revenge, but after several failures, it deeply hurt Sima Shi's confidence and made him disheartened.

What's more, the last time he used a dead soldier to assassinate Cao Liang, Sima Yi was already very angry, and Sima Shi didn't dare to disobey his father's words no matter how much courage he had.

Now with the rise of Cao Liang's status, he has also begun to have a pivotal position in the court, especially after he successfully killed Zhuge Jin, the general of Wu State, in the court, the prestige is extremely high, Sima Yi has repeatedly reiterated, to Sima Shi to learn forbearance, the gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late, this little grievance can be put aside for the time being, the Sima family needs to go all out to prepare for rebellion, at this critical time, can not make a little mistake.

Therefore, although Sima Shi was eager to break Cao Liang's body into ten thousand pieces, at this moment, he could not make a move, so he could only refuse Bai Lingyun.

Sima Shi couldn't help here, Bai Lingyun couldn't help frowning, it seemed that if he wanted to deal with Cao Liang, he had to find another way.
