Chapter 100: Killing People Without Mercy
Seeing Du Qian'an about to explode, Chen Zhao said calmly: "I will not let you take Du Kang away, but I can spare his life now."
If he is not allowed to take Du Kang away, who will go back with him to take over the mission of their branch? I don’t know what the ancestors were thinking. They have to wait until the current branch is extinct before choosing another branch to take over the industry, connections and unique status in the Du family.
The most bizarre thing is that the Du family cannot give up on them. As long as they are still alive, the Du family must protect them.
Otherwise, why would he be here asking for trouble and wasting his energy to save such a fool?
Fighting the urge to curse, he said, "No, to be honest with you, General Chu, I must take Du Kang back with me. He has a special status, and he's the only one left in their branch. He must go back and take over the burden of his branch. If he doesn't come back with me, staying in the General's Mansion is no different from being dead."
Chen Zhao had already guessed Du Kang's identity. It turned out that he was a descendant of the business branch of the Du family.
Is he the only one left?
It seems that this Minister of Revenue is a person who only listens half way.
Earlier, when they were alone here, she had mentioned one of Du Kang's crimes, confusing the Chu family's bloodline.
He didn't forget a single word.
This is easier to handle. The Du family only wants the descendants of the Du family. In addition to Du Kang, the Chu family now has several descendants of the Du family.
I wonder if Lord Du would be ecstatic when he found out.
After all, Lord Du only thought there was one person, but she could give him a group.
"Don't worry, Lord Du. I only want to ask you one question: as long as they are descendants of that branch, whether they are Du Kang or not, they can follow you back and take over the responsibilities of that branch."
"Yes, anyone who is a descendant of that branch can go back with me." Du Qian replied unhappily.
Now there is only Du Kang left in their branch. What Mr. Chu said is not sure if he can produce a few more members of the Du family for him.
"If that's the case, then it's easy to handle. However, I'd like to double the stakes. I wonder if Lord Du will agree."
What Shen Zhao could think of, Chu Mu also thought of.
His Ah Zhao knew how to adapt. He was just worried that the Du guy would trick Ah Zhao, but now he doesn't need to worry about that.
I don’t know what bargaining chips A Zhao and Du Qian are discussing.
After all, his A Zhao doesn't have so many calculating thoughts. This Du guy is obviously a bad guy. Will A Zhao suffer a loss in the chips?
Chu Mu looked at Du Qian'an warily. He was watching here and was determined not to let this Du guy do anything wrong.
Du Qian'an became even more depressed by Shen Zhao's words.
What is easy to deal with? Is the man surnamed Chu planning to let Du Kang go?
But what does doubling the chips mean?
He has already asked for 900,000 taels from the Du family. If it doubles, it would be 1.8 million taels!
Thinking of this astronomical figure, Du Qian'an almost fainted.
Do they think that the Du family is the national treasury?
The man surnamed Chu should just stop negotiating with him and just let his father drive him down, and the man surnamed Chu will become the head of their Du family.
He really dared to say that.
"General Chu, you are so bold to ask for it. It would be better for you to just rob it openly. Why did you give one person to our Du family?
Nine hundred thousand taels can't satisfy you, now you want one million eight hundred thousand taels
Does General Chu know how much silver is worth in one million eight hundred thousand taels? Do you know how much money a noble family actually has?
I dare to ask if the General's Mansion can come up with 1.8 million taels!"
Du Qian'an's eyes turned red with anger. This Chu guy was obsessed with money and his mind and eyes were full of money.
When Chu Mu heard this number, he almost popped his eyes out.
One million eight hundred thousand taels!
After being surprised, he felt relieved that his Ah Zhao was braver than other women.
An average lady couldn't afford 1.8 million taels.
After feeling relieved, I felt a little sorry for A Zhao.
Ah Zhao wanted so much money, it must be because the general's mansion had been emptied out for him.
Ah Zhao was so kind. She had suffered so much injustice and torture in the General's Mansion, but not only did she not complain, she also thought about the General's Mansion and him all the time.
But Ah Zhao asked for too much, and he didn't know whether the Du family could afford 1.8 million taels.
But he must have known that no noble family would pay 1.8 million taels for a member of the clan.
Du Qian'an would definitely not agree to spend 1.8 million taels to save a person.
Not only would he not agree, even if his father were here he would not agree.
Chen Zhao looked at Du Qian'an's reaction and thought that the 1.8 million taels was indeed a bit too much.
He coughed lightly and said, "Master Du, please don't be anxious. Just listen to me."
"Then please speak quickly, General Chu!" This guy surnamed Chu is so annoying, no wonder he is ostracized in the court.
"Do you think the Du family can accept the doubled stakes and an extra 100,000 taels of silver?" Shen Zhao still wanted more because she had too many expenses.
In addition to asking for money from the 4,000 Northwest Army soldiers in Kyoto, she also wanted to take back her father's other subordinates.
All of these require money.
Winter is approaching, and the soldiers still have no cotton clothes. The court may not give them to them, but she has to prepare them for them.
Du Qian'an clenched his fists. Mr. Chu was getting more and more demanding, but compared to doubling the silver, he could still accept the additional 100,000 taels.
Damn!
A Du Kang is worth one million taels, and even if you cut it into pieces and buy it, it is still not worth that much money!
"Okay! One million taels is one million taels. General Chu can't go back on his word." Du Qian'an had an idea in his mind.
If the public pays for the one million taels, the other teams will definitely not be willing to do so.
If the main family were to pay, even if he and his father agreed, those in the backyard would not agree, especially his good stepmother and second brother. Wouldn't that cause a huge uproar?
There is only one way, which is to buy all the property of Du Kang's branch from him, which is worth about one million taels.
Leave him the money he needs for business operations, and use the rest to fill the hole.
In this way, the other members of the Du family can't say anything, and even if Du Kang has any opinions, he has to hold them in. Otherwise, he can just die.
He was the one who caused all the trouble, who can he blame?
"Look at what Lord Du said. I am not the kind of person who goes back on his word."
When Du Qi'an heard what Shen Zhao said, his eyes widened.
He would have to open his eyes and take a good look at how shameless this Chu was to say such words.
The two of them had clearly agreed on the terms, and he almost signed them. The man surnamed Chu knew that Du Kang had sold himself to the Chu family.
He immediately turned against them and overturned the conditions they had previously agreed upon.
Bah! He is a man who does not keep his word.
"But this one has been agreed upon. I still need to explain the other points to Lord Du again." Chen Zhao met Du Qian'an's angry eyes and spoke again.
Du Qian'an's voice was tinged with anger, becoming a little sharp. "Chu, are you done yet? Do you really think I'm easy to bully? You're not negotiating with me, you're just exploiting me."
"Ah! Things have come to this point. Since Lord Du wants to return, I can only bid you farewell. Lord Du, please go to the mass grave outside the capital to collect your uncle's body another day!"
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
