Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 329

Cao Huachun roared immediately, with a voice like thunder from nine heavens: "Zhang Qitai, our family sees that you have taken the courage of a bear and a leopard, how dare you play tricks on our family like this. Come on, tie us up, and then surround the Zhang family's house, and we can't find you." Those two pearls bestowed by the emperor, our family pierced the sky of Shangzhou Mansion and trampled the ground of Shangzhou Mansion!"

With an order, hundreds of soldiers rushed in and bound everyone in the pawn shop, from Zhang Qitai to the shopkeeper, without any explanation, with iron chains.

Thousands of soldiers went to besiege the Zhang family's house, making a fuss, as if they were going to eat people.

Zhang Qitai had been pinned to the ground by Xiao Erhei long ago, his mind went blank, only one thought remained, why did the pearl turn into a dry shit stick?

After a while, Zhang Qitai scratched his neck and shouted: "Director Cao, I misunderstood, this is a misunderstanding!"

Cao Huachun looked down at Zhang Qitai from a high position and said sternly: "What misunderstanding? It's obviously you who swallowed up our family's pearl!"

"Director Cao, after getting the red sandalwood box yesterday, the villain personally took it back to the mansion for safekeeping, and hid it tightly.

Speaking of this, Zhang Qitai, who has always been shrewd, suddenly guessed the inside story, and thought to himself, could it be that the whole thing was a scam from the beginning?

He gasped and shuddered, knowing that he had escaped into Cao Huachun's trap.

"Director Cao, you..." Zhang Qitai hesitated, but his eyes revealed that he had doubts about Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun said expressionlessly: "Why, you want to say that our family framed you? Zhang Qitai, yesterday our family came to pawn pearls, took out the box and key and handed them to you, and asked you to open the box and take a look twice and three times. It's You are pretending not to look at it, is it because our family buys and sells by force?"

"Today our family came to redeem the pawn. If you bring the box, our subordinates will open it in front of you and the shopkeeper. How can you cheat?"

Zhang Qitai was speechless, thinking to himself that the key problem was that he hadn't inspected the goods in person yesterday.

"Director Cao, since the matter has come to this point, the villain is willing to take responsibility. I don't want the 80 taels of silver, and I will add another 20 taels as compensation. What do you think?" Zhang Qitai is a typical businessman. Want to settle with silver.

But Cao Huachun carefully designed such a trap to lure Zhang Qitai to jump off, is it as simple as extorting money?
"Bah, you think the governor is a beggar begging on the street, can you use money to send him away? Zhang Qitai, Zhang Qitai, we see that you still don't realize how much trouble you have caused!"

Cao Huachun raised his brows, and said in a serious tone: "Those two beads are gifts from the emperor. If the beads disappear in your hands, you are deceiving the emperor; deceiving the emperor is fine. You have a vicious heart and replaced the pearls with black ones. These two piles of shit, this is contempt for the emperor, this is disrespect. Throughout the ages, has there been such a mad person like you? Zhang Qitai, our family wants to write a book to play the emperor, and punish your nine clans!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qitai fainted from fright.

"Come on, put all these people in the prison of Shangzhou Mansion!" Cao Huachun shouted.

……

In the prison, Zhang Qitai had been detained for three full days.For three days, there was nothing else to do but eat sticks on a board and experience life.

A rich businessman with a fat head and big ears lost a layer of skin after three days, and lost more than ten catties, as if he had undergone plastic surgery.

Zhang Qitai said Tiantian should not answer, and the land and the earth are not working. If it falls into the hands of Cao Huachun, it will fall into the hands of Lord Yan, and I am afraid that this life will be over.

On this day, Zhang Qitai curled up in the corner, half dead.Suddenly he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, he thought that he was going to experience life again as a conditioned reflex, and shrank, really wanting to get into the mouse hole to hide, to avoid the pain of flesh and blood.

The cell door opened, Cao Huachun appeared at the door, and said coldly: "Zhang Qitai, do you remember, where are those two pearls?"

"Master Factory Superintendent, please do me a favor and spare the villain's life! I really don't know where the two pearls are. Do you think I'm a tough guy? After suffering so many beatings, if I really committed the crime , the villain has already explained..."

"So, those two pearls can't be found? Forget it, our family can only chop off your dog's head!"

"Master Factory Superintendent, I don't want to die, you should at least give me a chance to redeem my sins, and I can do whatever you want! Even if I want to be a cow to the Factory Superintendent, I am willing!"

Cao Huachun laughed sinisterly and cheerfully: "If you don't want to die, you can do it. The governor is here today to give you a chance. It depends on whether you can grasp it. Come, let me introduce you to someone, the emperor's former courtier." Xia Wanchun."

Zhang Qitai saw a very young official coming to the prison cell. He walked over on his knees and hugged Xia Wanchun's thigh, as if he was holding on to the last straw and refused to let go. Just say it!"

Xia Wanchun said: "Zhang Qitai, your grandfather was Zhang Siwei, the chief assistant of the Wanli Dynasty. He was highly regarded by the Wanli Emperor because he planned the Zhang Juzheng case. He was posthumously named Wen Yi after his death. Come and tell me what is Wen and what is Yi ?”

Zhang Qitai said: "Little people are not very good at speaking. They only know the latitude and longitude of heaven and earth, and they are loyal and faithful, they are Chinese; I don’t remember much.”

"As a descendant of Duke Wen Yi, have you managed to master the world, practice morality, and do good deeds?" Mongolia and Jianzhou sell iron, and in order to please the Jian slaves, they constantly send confidential information to the country. The Jian slaves are able to enter the customs because you Shanxi merchants act as their spies!"

"What should be the crime for such an act of betraying the country and seeking glory?"

Zhang Qitai said: "I'm waiting for a businessman, talking about business..."

"Yeah, in the eyes of you businessmen, as long as you can make money, what can't you do? It doesn't matter to you to change the dynasty. It doesn't matter if the family is ruined, the people are in dire straits, the mountains and rivers are broken, just grab a lot of money! Zhang Qitai, our family sees a person like you, death is not a pity!" Cao Huachun scolded.

Xia Wanchun sang with a red face and said: "Shanxi merchants should be killed, but God has the virtue of being good at life. I want to give you a way to survive. Do you want it or not?"

"Yes, of course! May I ask Master Xia, what do you need me to do?" Zhang Qitai asked hastily.

"It's very simple, take your Zhang family's caravan and go to the Zhungeer Department in Moxi. My lord heard that Azige, the former British Prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, fled to the Zhungeer Department, and wanted to find him."

"Go to Moxi to find Azig?" Zhang Qitai was taken aback, obviously feeling very troubled.

Cao Huachun said: "Why, you don't want to go? Forget it, our family hasn't killed anyone for a long time, since you don't want to die, then run to the road of death!"

Zhang Qitai gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that there is no choice, I agree!"

Xia Wanchun looked at Cao Huachun with admiration, smiled, and walked out of the cell.

Cao Huachun squatted down, pinched Zhang Qitai's shoulders, leaned into his ear and said: "Our family is telling you the truth, it is indeed our family who tricked you. This trip to Moxi, you dare to be dishonest. Our family wants your life!"

"Director Cao, you are so vicious!"

"Hmph, you are the one who cheated!"

Cao Huachun threw down a sentence, laughed heartily, and walked away.

"Big devil, king of Hades!" Zhang Qitai cursed twice, and collapsed on the ground, like a dead person.
