Chapter 87: Crazy Grabbing of 900,000 Taels
"Is that all, General Chu?"
Chen Zhao thought Du Qian was asking her if she wanted so much silver.
The Du family was indeed wealthy and powerful, and the two young masters did not even take the four hundred thousand yuan seriously.
In that case...
Then she will ask for a little more.
"Plus compensation of 500,000 taels, a total of 900,000 taels."
Du Qian'an was stunned. What compensation was five hundred thousand taels? They were trying to rip his Du family off!
He raised his voice and said, "What? Nine hundred thousand taels, General Chu, why don't you go and rob them?"
Shen Zhao frowned coldly. What? Did he ask her for just this? She only added a little more, so why did he refuse?
Just kidding her!
"It seems that Lord Du has no sincerity at all. In that case, please go to the mass grave to look for your cousin. Who knows, Lord Du might find him one day!"
Du Qian'an stood up suddenly, holding the corner of the table tightly with both hands.
A pair of charming eyes now ignited a small flame.
Threat, the man surnamed Chu was blatantly threatening him.
When has he ever suffered such humiliation!
He has to do this crappy job even if he doesn't want to!
He gnashed his teeth and said, "Alright! Nine hundred thousand taels is nine hundred thousand taels! I hope General Chu will keep his word and release my people from the Du family."
Nine hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. Although it cannot damage the foundation of the Du family, it is also a severe blow to the Du family.
He really dared to take advantage of the situation and asked for so much silver without fear of being beaten to death.
"Don't be anxious, Lord Du. Please sit down." After extorting 900,000 taels of silver from others, Shen Zhao's attitude towards Du Qian'an became better.
Du Qian'an endured it again and again, knowing that sooner or later he would make the Chu man pay the price, so he sat back feeling aggrieved.
Prepare to sign his name and take out the seal to stamp it.
Upon seeing this, Shen Zhao immediately spoke up to stop him and asked, "Master Du, what are you going to do?"
Du Qianan glared at Chen Zhao unhappily. Is he blind?
There is no indication that he signed, sealed, or stamped the document as requested.
Still asking! Are you deliberately humiliating him?
Despicable and shameless villain!
With a forced smile, he replied sarcastically, "Of course, I stamped it according to the general's request."
Just as Du Qi'an was about to put down his pen, Chen Zhao said again, "Wait a minute!"
Du Qian'an was almost unable to sit still. Why was someone so annoying?
Why are you calling him again?
Isn't it enough to extort 900,000 taels from the Du family? What else does he want?
"General Chu is playing tricks on me!"
"Master Du, please don't judge others by your own standards. How could I possibly play tricks on you?
Before I could finish, Lord Du hastily stamped the document. How could I continue writing the next clause? Let's get on with it.
Du Qian'an's eyes widened instantly.
Not finished yet! Still working on it!
Can he please not go too far?
This document was signed by him...!
Du Kang, all the grievances I suffered today were caused by you, so please don’t let me down.
"General Chu, please continue!" He was not angry, not angry at all, and was not afraid of Du Qian'an!
"Third, the Du family has many officials in Lingnan. Please ask the head of the Du family to write a letter and ask the Du family to take good care of General Shen and his son who were exiled to Lingnan."
What Shen Zhao can't let go of the most are his father and brother.
My father and brother were accused of crimes and driven out of Kyoto by the prince and others.
Those officials are the best at reading people's expressions and acting accordingly. One can imagine what my father and brother went through in exile.
Although the letters from her father and brother were all to let her know that they were safe and sound.
But she didn't believe it. Her father and brother only said they were fine because they were afraid that she would worry about them. The life in Lingnan was difficult, and her father was old. He had many hidden illnesses from fighting on the battlefield for many years. How could he bear it?
Du Qianan glanced at Chen Zhao with a strange look.
General Chu actually started to care about his Yue family.
He had heard about the Shen family's affairs. There were rumors outside that General Chu was not on good terms with his wife and was indifferent to the Yue family.
From the time the Shen family got into trouble to the exile of General Shen and his son, General Chu never showed up, not even a word of pleading.
Perhaps the rumors outside are false. If he really didn't care about the Yue family, he wouldn't have asked the Du family members in Lingnan to help look after them at this time.
Du Qian'an thought about it and felt that the Du family still had some influence in the Lingnan area.
Although the Shen family father and son offended the prince, the emperor was far away and the prince could not reach Lingnan.
Besides, the father and son of the Shen family are not Chu Mu, they also have the support of the Shen family.
According to General Shen's crimes, he should have been executed, but in the end he was only exiled. The royal family only did this out of consideration for the Shen family.
If the Du family really takes care of them, the royal family won't say anything.
"Okay, General Chu is really a man of loyalty and righteousness." Du Qian said as he wrote this.
"Fourth, and most importantly, Du Kang must remain in the Chu Mansion until he has paid for his sins."
Du Qian'an put down the pen in his hand.
It seems that all the things he wrote before were in vain.
He agreed to the above conditions in order to bring Du Kang back to the Du family's ancestral home.
"General Chu, are you joking? This joke is not funny at all. I agreed to all the conditions General Chu proposed, but in the end, General Chu said he wanted to keep Du Kang in the Chu Mansion. Isn't this a joke?"
Du Qian'an did not suppress the anger in his heart. He stood up directly and looked at Chen Zhao with a dangerous look.
"I never joke. Lord Du, do you know why I let Du Kang stay? Do you know what mistake Du Kang made?" Shen Zhao's tone suddenly turned cold, and the aura around him changed dramatically.
Du Qi'an felt a little nervous. Could it be that Du Kang had killed people and set fire to the Chu Mansion?
But he hadn't heard that the master of the Chu family was murdered.
"General Chu, please tell me frankly what unforgivable thing Du Kang has done." He would also like to be mentally prepared.
Chen Zhao sneered, "Twenty-four years ago, Du Kang conspired with others to murder my biological mother, confuse the Chu family's bloodline, and drug me to sterilize my children. Any one of these actions, Lord Du, is enough to cost him his life!"
Shen Zhao did not hide anything, but told it truthfully.
Du Qian'an choked. If what General Chu said was true, then Du Kang deserved to be put to death.
The hatred of killing one's mother is irreconcilable, and confusing the Chu family's bloodline is even more of a hatred of stealing one's wife.
What is even more unbearable is the extinction of one’s family lineage.
"Is General Chu serious?" Du Qian'an's heart began to beat fast. If that was the case, then everything would be difficult to handle. Moreover, with such a character, was he worthy of shouldering the mission of his branch? Obviously not.
It would be great if Du Kang could have a son or daughter.
That way he wouldn't have to take Du Kang back to the Du family.
Du Qian'an didn't take Shen Zhao's words about confusing the Chu family's bloodline to heart. Now that it has been discovered, he will definitely not allow the evil child to be born.
Even if the baby was born, it would have been drowned early.
"If Lord Du doesn't believe me, you can come with me and see what's going on." Chen Zhao was not afraid of the family scandal being exposed, nor was he worried that Du Qi'an would publicize it.
Which century-old family is shameless? This is not only a scandal for the Chu family but also a scandal for the Du family.
"Okay, I'll bother you, General."
Shen Zhao strode towards the courtyard, and Du Qi'an immediately followed.
As soon as the two entered the old lady's yard, they heard a heart-wrenching cry:
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
