The people in the General's residence discovered that both their General and Madam had become extremely abnormal. The General, who used to be a man of few words, filial, brotherly, and doted on...
Chapter 86 Blackmail
Chen Zhao looked at the foxy man standing there in a daze and said unhappily, "Why, do you want me to ask you to leave personally? Don't rely on your feminine appearance and allure to make me feel pity for you. I won't hesitate to use my strength.
If you hurt Lord Du, this general will not be able to comfort you."
Du Qian looked at Chen Zhao's mouth opening and closing, and had an urge to go up and tear it apart.
What does it mean that he has a feminine appearance and is alluring and charming? What does it mean that one feels pity for him and cherishes him?
Hurt him! *!
Who are you trying to insult to death with these words!
The world deceived him!
This guy has such a mean mouth. If anyone tells him that General Chu is not good at speaking and is frugal with words, he will slap him in the face.
"General Chu..."
"roll!"
Du Qi’an: …
Did he say anything? He told him to get out!
I, your young master...can endure it!
If he hadn't thought about the mission he was responsible for, he wouldn't want to stay with this bad-mouthed guy for even a minute.
Calm down, calm down, calm down. He must calm down!
A faint smile appeared on his face. "General Chu just said that I don't know how to be a guest, but do you know how to treat guests? I am a guest after all. How can you tell me to get out?"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. He didn't believe that General Chu could still...
"You know you don't know how to be a guest, so why are you still so shameless as to accuse me of not knowing how to entertain guests? Why are you, Mrs. Du, allowed to light lamps, but my family, Chu, is not allowed to set fire? I have important matters to attend to, so please get out of here, Lord Du! Doesn't this make Lord Du feel more at ease? Please get out!"
Du Qian'an never expected that when he stretched out his face, he was really going to fight. Did he have any martial ethics?
Do you understand the ways of the world?
I suppressed the anger in my heart and comforted myself again, "Calm down, calm down, calm down. Du Qian'an, you are a noble and proud young man."
This is the image you have been maintaining. You must not let a bad mouth make you lose your temper!
Huh~
He was sure that he had no grudge against the mean-mouthed general, and Du Qian was startled by the way he addressed Chu Mu in his mind.
It’s not General Bitch, it’s General Chu!
Moreover, General Chu did not have such great hostility towards him when he first came in.
It was when General Chu asked about his cousin's identity that his attitude changed.
He didn't know his uncle who was so willful and disregarded the interests of the family. He only knew from his father that his uncle was not a good person.
If he was not the only direct descendant of their branch, his father would not have sent anyone to find him and bring him back to the Du family.
Perhaps all of Bianzui's anger towards him came from his cousin whom he had never met.
"General Chu, everything is negotiable, but what mistakes did my cousin make at home? What losses did he cause?"
General Chu should understand my Du family. If my cousin really did something wrong, our Du family is willing to take full responsibility.
I will never let your family suffer any loss."
Shen Zhao snorted coldly. Even if she didn't admit that Du Kang was in the general's mansion, the Du family would not believe it, and would even spare no effort to rescue Du Kang.
That would be difficult to deal with.
Since Minister Du said he would take responsibility for the mistakes made by Du Kang, why wouldn't she refuse?
Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, this is a good official position.
However, Du Kang and the vicious woman conspired to murder Chu Mu's biological mother, and this person deserves to be put to death.
If Du Kang was handed over to the Du family, not only would Chu Mu be unwilling, but she would also be unable to get over the hurdle in her heart.
She wants so much compensation, and she also wants Du Kang's life!
"Are you serious, Minister Du?"
"Really!" Du Qian'an quickly replied when he saw that General Chu finally looked at him in a good light.
"Well~I don't believe it!" She would not let Minister Du take Du Kang away.
Du Qian was stunned for a moment.
He doesn't believe it!
Then why did he ask if he was serious?
Just kidding him!
"What do you mean, General Chu?" Du Qian'an was a little angry. He was about to be ruined by this bad mouth.
"I can talk big, but without any real evidence, how can Minister Du let me believe you?" After Shen Zhao said this, Du Qian'an's face looked even uglier.
He is questioning his lack of credibility.
Isn't it just writing a document? Can't he write it?
Anyway, my dad said that he would take this cousin back at all costs to inherit the mission of their branch.
If there was still a single child or a girl in their branch, he would not come to look for this unreliable cousin.
"This is at the General's residence. Please have your servants bring us the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."
Seeing Du Qian'an's desperate attitude, Chen Zhao felt no joy but only worry.
This Du Kang's identity must be extraordinary.
Du Qian'an is the legitimate son of the Du family and the son of the current head of the Du family.
This is a bit difficult.
However, Du Qian'an still needs to sign a document first.
He turned around and told the servants waiting outside the door:
"Quickly prepare paper, ink, brush and inkstone."
Soon the servants brought up the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Chen Zhao looked at Du Qi'an and said, "As for the document, I'll tell you what to do and you can write it. Then you can stamp it with Lord Du's seal and sign it."
Du Qian'an felt very upset when he heard this, but he still signed and sealed it!
Why does the Chu family want to sell him?
Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, don’t be angry with villains.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! General Chu, please continue speaking!"
Chu, just pray that you don’t fall into my hands one day!
Shen Zhaocai ignored Du Qian'an's gnashing of teeth.
He spoke slowly, "Because Du Kang committed a heinous crime in the Chu Mansion, the Du Clan's Young Master, Du Qian'an, hereby guarantees that the Du Clan will shoulder all the responsibility for Du Kang's sins..."
Every time Shen Zhao said something, Du Qian took note.
He keeps spouting so much bullshit, but what's the point? Where's the compensation?
"The compensation is as follows: First, the Minister of Revenue, Du Qian'an, must be on good terms with Chu Mu and spare no effort to help Chu Mu in the court. No matter what the situation is, Du Qian'an must stand on the same front with Chu Mu!"
The Ministry of Revenue was the purse of the Southern Chu State and the department that awarded salaries.
From now on, there is hope for the salaries of the 4,000 Northwest Army soldiers.
Du Qian'an thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Chu Mu does not take sides, and the Du family does not take sides either. They do not participate in the fight for the crown prince and are not in a hostile state.
He could still accept this. According to the information obtained by the Du family, General Chu had a very low presence in the court and basically would not make trouble.
It was no big deal to agree to it, so I replied with a single word “OK” and quickly wrote this down.
"Secondly, the Chu family has supported Du Kang for decades in vain. The Du family must compensate the Chu family with 100,000 taels for food, 100,000 taels for accommodation, 100,000 taels for clothing, and 100,000 taels for protection, a total of 400,000 taels of silver."
Now the Chu family is poor, and she is not rich either, so she needs money everywhere.
The Du family also has a branch that specializes in business, providing the Du family with a steady stream of wealth.
If she doesn't kill him, who else will she kill?
Du Qian agreed without thinking: "Okay."
Anyway, these 400,000 taels were Du Kang's expenditure, so why should he hesitate?
Du Qian'an's attitude and tone of agreeing without hesitation made Shen Zhao frown slightly.
Is she going to have less?
Du Qian'an agreed too casually, as if she wanted not four hundred thousand taels but four taels.
Seeing that General Chu was silent for a long time, Du Qian thought to himself, are these the only two?
He raised his head and said:
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
