Shen family, council chamber.

Shen Hongtian sat on top of the head, and Shen Hongyun, Shen Ze, Shen Qing and other family heads sat on both sides.

"Shen Ze, how is the Chamber of Commerce lately?" After a long time, Shen Hongtian suddenly spoke, breaking the silent atmosphere in the hall.

"Hey" Shen Ze shook his head and sighed: "It's getting worse and worse, the recent actions of the Yang family and the Qi family are becoming more and more obvious, and even on the bright side, our income is constantly shrinking, and our income this month is less than three hundred taels." ”

"Three hundred taels?" Shen Qing exclaimed in disbelief: "It's okay now, the monthly income is less than three hundred taels, is it possible that we can't drink the northwest wind next month?"

"They're pressing, and we can't help it, big brother, you better find a way, otherwise we won't be able to continue next month." Shen Hongyun also looked ugly.

"Hmph, the Yang family and the Qi family are about to tear their faces, and they are clearly going against my Shen family, what can they do?" Shen Hongtian was also furious, and slapped the table hard, and the table creaked and shook, almost falling apart on the spot.

"Hey, could it be that the sky wants to destroy my Shen family?" Shen Hongyun shook his head and smiled miserably: "The martial arts competition has not started yet, and our Shen family has even cut off their livelihood, what else can we talk about?"

"Dad" Hearing these frustrating words, Shen Ze was naturally uncomfortable, and wanted to complain, but found that there was nothing to refute, so he could only swallow the words back.

"Business is bleak, the martial arts tournament is coming, but there are many families waiting to see our jokes, what should we do? Is it true that we are going to lose this quasi-noble seat?" Shen Qing said gloomily.

"Take it one step at a time, it's come to this point, and it's not something we can change. Shen Hongtian was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

With Shen Hongtian's silence, the atmosphere in the field became dull again, no one spoke, just sat with a depressed expression, so depressed.

"Family Master, Young Master Shen Li asks to see you!"

Suddenly, a guard pushed the door and walked in, facing Shen Hongtian.

"Shen Li, let him in. Shen Hongtian was stunned at first, then waved his hand and said casually.

Not long after the guards went out, Shen Li strode in and bowed to Shen Hongtian and the others, looking quite excited.

"What's wrong? After seeing Shen Li, Shen Hongtian's face looked a little better, but when he saw Shen Li's excited look, he was puzzled and asked.

"Grandpa, I've found a treasure!" Shen Li said excitedly.

"Hehe, huh? Take a look. Shen Hongtian smiled happily and said casually, the others were also strange, and they all looked at Shen Li.

Shen Li nodded, then took out the purple smoke stone from his arms and handed it to Shen Hongtian.

"What is this?" Shen Hongtian took the stone and looked at it for a while, his expression changed slightly, and he muttered.

"The color is light purple, and there are smoke-like lines inside, could it be purple smoke stone?" Shen Ze's expression changed suddenly, and he exclaimed.

"Good guy, it's actually a purple smoke stone, Li'er, you're so lucky!" Shen Hongyun also changed his expression and smiled at Shen Li.

"Yes, it's a good thing, Shen Ze, you can take it, and you can subsidize some households. After a short period of surprise, Shen Hongtian no longer cared, handed the purple smoke stone to Shen Ze, and said casually.

Shen Hongtian is now full of sorrow, although the purple smoke stone is still rare, it is not of great help to the current situation of the Shen family, so naturally it can't arouse too much interest from him.

"Grandpa, I didn't just find one piece of this purple smoke stone!" Looking at Shen Hongtian's appearance, Shen Li didn't care, smiled mysteriously, and suddenly spoke.

"Oh, is it possible that there are still two or three yuan? That is good, your father just said that he has been financially strapped recently, and this can be relieved a little. Shen Hongtian picked up a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Grandpa, I found a vein of purple smoky stone!" Shen Li just smiled faintly, and after whetting everyone's appetite, he suddenly said.

"Poof"

Hearing this, Shen Hongtian shuddered coldly, and a mouthful of tea squirted out directly, almost splashing Shen Qing on the opposite side.

"What did you say?"

Shen Hongtian's eyes suddenly stared at the size of a copper bell, his body stood up suddenly, and he looked directly at Shen Li, his voice became hoarse.

"I said I found a vein of purple smoky stone, a real vein of purple smoky stone!" Shen Li repeated very seriously.

"Click"

I don't know if it's because Shen Hongtian is too excited or what, the table under the palm of his hand was directly shattered, shattering to the ground, and smoke and dust were scattered.

But now no one cares about this, Shen Hongtian and Shen Ze all stood up and looked at Shen Li in disbelief, unable to believe their ears.

They knew too well what the veins of purple smoke represented, they were worth more than a gold mine. On the market, the price of a piece of purple smoke stone is eager to be equal to the price of the iron ore produced by his Shen family in a week, how much is that vein?

Even if Shen Hongtian was an innate master, he felt his head dazed for a while at this moment, grabbed Shen Li's shoulder, took a deep breath, suppressed the violent fluctuations in his heart, and asked, "Are you sure it's a purple smoky stone vein?"

"You have seen that ordinary iron ore will bloom purple light after entering internal strength, I have determined it countless times, the stone below is exactly the same as the purple smoke stone I gave you just now, and according to my estimate, the purple smoke stone in this vein is at least more than 100,000 catties. Shen Lidao.

"100,000 catties?" Even if Shen Li has been up and down in the business world all his life, and he is used to seeing big scenes, he can't help but have a dry mouth at this moment, and he only feels dizzy in his head.

"Where is it?" Shen Hongtian asked almost with a roar.

"Just a few days ago, the boy of the Jiang family lost to me in the manor, and in order to prevent him from getting any benefits, that kid smashed the manor to pieces, wanting to see how angry I looked. But now, I found a purple smoky stone vein there, haha, what a pleasure!"

"Let's go, let's see!"

Shen Hongtian immediately didn't think much about it, like a wind flew out directly, rampage, and smashed the door of the council hall on the spot, frightening the guards on the side.

And after Shen Hongyun and the others glanced at each other, they all ran out, you must know that the value of a purple smoky stone vein is too great, even if Shen Li testifies, they can't believe it for a while, they have to see it with their own eyes.

Without further ado, the five of them turned over and got on their horses, summoned a lot of guards, and galloped all the way towards the manor.
