Chapter 135
If people who don't know just watched Han Sheng make a statement, they might really believe that he was wronged.As a shopkeeper, his ability to deal with all kinds of people is indeed extraordinary.

On this point, Han Shengcai himself thought so.Therefore, after complaining passionately, he turned to the young emperor, hoping that things would turn around.

To his delight, the emperor really showed a smile.But it seemed a little strange, before he had time to think about the meaning behind the smile, he heard the emperor turn his head to look at a guard.

He looked at the man following the emperor's gaze, and was suddenly taken aback: Hey, why is this guard missing a hand, can this also be a guard?As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly realized that this person seemed a little familiar. He seemed to have seen him somewhere?

At this time, the emperor said to the man: "Chen Baihu, his mind is not clear and he is talking nonsense, please help him recall memories!"

Chen Er lost his hand and couldn't hold his fists normally to accept the order, so he could only verbally agree, then took a few steps forward, and came in front of Han Shengcai, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Master Han, you don't know me!" Is it? I was the one who knocked on the door of Yongchang Bank that night, could it be that you forgot?"

Hearing what he said, Han Sheng finally remembered.Immediately, his face turned pale, and he muttered to himself involuntarily: "No, this is impossible, he has already left! He didn't come back after that, how is it possible? Absolutely..."

This matter was so beyond his expectation, it was even more impossible than seeing a ghost in the daytime, so that Han Sheng, who had been gritting his teeth and persevering, panicked a little.

Seeing this, Chen Er couldn't help but feel a little happy.As soon as I showed up, I was able to pry his mouth open, which was considered a credit.

Thinking of this, he continued to help Han Sheng and recalled: "After you heard what I told you, you were very shocked. At first you couldn't believe it, until Ao Bai showed you his money rat tail. You don’t believe it unless it was shaved recently, and then hurried us into the shop..."

Unexpectedly, things backfired. After Han Shengcai experienced the initial panic, although he heard Chen Er retelling what happened that night, his heart gradually calmed down and he was eager to think of countermeasures.

"You told us not to talk, and you will deal with everything, and finally sent us out of the city. Shopkeeper Han, what I said is half a lie?" After Chen Er finished speaking, he asked confidently.

"What, what did your lord say? Caomin can't understand!" Han Sheng began to deny it, "Caomin swear to God, my lord is missing an arm, Caomin has never seen it before, please don't wrong Caomin!"

"You..." When Chen Er heard this, he was furious. He wanted to deny it to such a degree?
At this moment, Hu Guang spoke, only to hear him say indifferently: "Han Shengcai, to tell you the truth, among the four people that day, except for the real Tartar, Oboi, the other three were all members of Jinyiwei Hundred Families. The Chen Baihu in front of you, I specially asked him to come back and confront you. It’s just that there was an accident when he came back, and he was missing a hand. I believe you know it well.”

Han Shengcai's complexion was obviously a little more gray than when he just fought, but even so, he still denied it.Because he knew that if he admitted to the captives, he would definitely die.

His practice of being a dead pig not afraid of boiling water has always given Cao Huachun a headache. Now that he sees the prisoner doing the same in front of the emperor, he can't help but sneak a look at the emperor, wanting to see how his face looks and whether he is angry ?

However, he didn't see it, and only saw that the emperor's face remained unchanged, as if he knew that the prisoner would continue to deny it, only to hear the emperor say again: "You have another brother named Han Youcai, who is now the shopkeeper of the billing office in Suzhou. The two of you People are all sensitive to money, and they are good at managing money. They were recruited by Fan Yongdou and married his distant niece to you as wives. The matter of the ticket number is that you encouraged Fan Yongdou to cooperate with other Jin people to open it. Is there such a thing?"

Han Shengcai looked surprised, opened his mouth slightly, and stared blankly at the young emperor in front of him for a while.The previous feelings resurfaced in his mind, as if he couldn't hide a secret from the emperor.

Hu Guang saw him like this, and without waiting for him to answer, he continued to say in a leisurely manner: "Under Fan Yongdou's operation, you also recognized the former chief assistant Han Yu, the uncle of the distant family, which gave you a big brother. Backer. Among the dry stocks of Yongchang Bank, there is Han Yu's share, right?"

"Fan Yongdou, together with Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa, etc., often do business with Jianlu on a large scale, or in other words, smuggle materials banned by Ming Dynasty to Jianlu for huge profits. Is there such a thing?"

"In the first year, the second year, and the third year of Tianqi, Fan Yongdou and others had at least six large-scale raids on captives, and the huge profits they made from smuggling materials reached more than 6 million taels of silver. Is there such a thing?"

Hu Guang seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and he told it one by one, even down to the specific names of people, including the person in charge of Shanxi Merchants and Jianlu, as well as the types of materials and so on.If it's just fabricated, it's impossible to be so detailed.

Of course, these transaction materials were provided by Liu Xingzuo.And the information linking Shanxi merchants and Han Shengcai is the information that Ruhua got from Ma Fugui.

It is conceivable that Han Shengcai was shocked by these words.The matter of cooperating with captives that he tried to deny, started from the confrontation between Chen Er and him, and gradually became vulnerable.He was lying on the ground like that, unable to lift his head up, and just looked down at the ground in front of him.

Seeing him like this, Hu Guang knew that his psychological defense had almost been breached.Therefore, he no longer specifically described the private transactions between the eight major Shanxi merchants and Jianlu, and closed the topic: "Fan Yongdou not only sold embargoed materials, but also sold information to Jianlu. As his confidant, you naturally know this Therefore, when Oboi suddenly appeared, you were surprised but did not hesitate, and immediately thought of ways to help him escape from the city."

Speaking of this, Hu Guang suddenly raised his voice, and shouted with dignity: "You are talking nonsense in front of me, and you dare to say that there is a thunderbolt, and you will die! Even if God dozed off and missed punishing you, don't you think I can't do it?" Is it?"

Han Shengcai's head couldn't hold it anymore, his forehead touched the ground, and there was a sound, and the whole person seemed to have lost all life, leaving only a stinky skin.

If what Hu Guang said was just what Cao Huachun said, maybe Han Shengcai would not behave so badly because of his different identities.

But these words were said by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. No matter how strong Han Shengcai thought his backer was, he would not be as strong as the Emperor. Under such circumstances, he knew that he would definitely die!
However, he did not expect that what Hu Guang said next made him raise his head and look at the young emperor in disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

　Thanks to Mu Yi Yinkou for the reward!
