"And my brother and I will live out our lives well in this world and enjoy all the riches and honors!"
"Furthermore, your good son-in-law will not escape a damned end!"
What's meant to come will come.
After learning about everything that had happened at the Duke's mansion, Chen Pan lived in constant fear.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.
The Gao siblings of today are no longer the same siblings who were bullied by others back then.
When they joined forces, they became a terrifying force.
He dared to kill even his own father, let alone someone who had no blood relation to him?
It's just a matter of time.
Regarding how to deal with Chen Pan.
Takasugi has no clue what to do yet.
Ultimately, it has to be reasonable, justifiable, and legal, especially since he's currently enjoying great popularity.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he was a conscientious medicine merchant who generously donated money when the Yuan Dynasty was in need.
They attacked him without any evidence.
Then the Gao family will lose its footing.
For Xu Qingzhi
It wouldn't be too difficult to bring down the Chen family.
With his family's business empire being so large, it's impossible that there wasn't a single shady dealing involved.
As expected, Xu Qingzhi's investigation revealed the truth.
It was discovered that Chen Pan existed before the emperor reduced taxes.
Chen Pan committed serious tax evasion.
The amount was as high as 300,000 taels of gold.
According to the laws of the Yuan Dynasty, this is a capital crime punishable by death and the extermination of nine generations of one's family!
Chen Pan was soon taken away by the Dali Temple.
In order to prevent public opinion from being favorable to Chen Pan.
Xu Qingzhi ordered people to begin spreading information about Chen Pan's crimes throughout Dayuan City.
"Unexpectedly, Chen Pan, who seemed to be relieving the Emperor's worries, secretly evaded taxes of 300,000 taels of gold!"
"I heard that Chen Pan is unwilling to share the harvest this time because he sees the Gao family's actions. If he doesn't do this, all the good reputation will go to Gao Shan!"
"Do you think he did it to relieve the emperor's worries? He did it to gain fame!"
"The servants of the Chen family all said that Chen Pan has decided to drastically increase the price of herbs next year in order to make up for all the losses this year!"
"Therefore, Chen Pan is not worthy of being compared with Gao Shan at all. Gao Shan truly cares about the people and shares the emperor's burdens, while Chen Pan is only acting out of his own selfish desires!"
“Takasugi has never evaded a single penny of taxes in previous years! Moreover, Takasugi has also declared that from now on, the price of herbal medicines for treating tuberculosis will be calculated at 60% of the usual selling price! This is truly benefiting the people!”
"Looking at it this way, Chen Pan really is a despicable person, while Gao Shan is the truly conscientious pharmaceutical merchant!"
