"yes!"
Qin Daobao replied: "Go down and go directly to the Xu Family Courtyard and raid the Xu Family Courtyard!"
As a result, these rioters began to evacuate Xu's Cotton Mill in an orderly manner.
Xu Yue was quite surprised when he saw this, and asked Qiao Keke: "Why did they withdraw?"
Qiao Ke replied solemnly: "They should have gone directly to raid your Xu family's home."
"What should we do? What should we do about the old lady's safety?!"
Xu Yue became quite anxious.
"Now we can only save the cotton mill. Your Xu family can only rely on luck. In addition, you cannot let Xiang Yong, a member of your Xu family, leave the cotton mill. You must defend this place, otherwise, I will kill you!"
Qiao Ke immediately pulled out the knife at this time and put it on Xu Yue's neck.
Xu Yue was quite surprised and couldn't help but said: "Yes, yes, but there are the lives of hundreds of people in my Xu family!"
"The imperial court will make the decision for them when the time comes."
Qiao Ke could only say this.
…
"old lady!"
"old lady!"
"Old lady, they are coming! There are so many rioters who have surrounded the Xu family! The younger ones can't drive them away, and many of them have been beaten by them. People have already lost their lives!"
The Xu family's housekeeper became more rational and quickly ran to Xu Qianshi, shouting as he ran.
The Xu family slaves who gathered around Xu Qian became even more panicked.
Only Xu Qian still looked serious and ordered: "Xu Ji, open the door and let those people in. There is no need to let the slaves die! I don't believe that there is no king's law in this world and the court will not make decisions for us. And they really dare to beat me to death, they really dare to take human lives in broad daylight!"
Xu Ji said: "Old lady, why don't you bring back some people from the cotton mill."
Xu Qianshi glanced at him: "Why, you don't even listen to my words?!"
"Go quickly!"
Xu Qianshi shouted loudly.
"yes!"
Xu Ji had no choice but to run out of the central hall and shouted: "Open the door and let those people in!"
Soon, as soon as the inner door of Xu's house opened, many rioters filed in and filled the whole yard.
Qin Daobao and Kuang Yonghui led a group of rioters at the front.
When Xu Qian saw Qin Daobao, Kuang Yonghui and others coming with the rebels, they did not panic, but asked directly: "What are you doing?"
Qin Daobao laughed at this time: "What are you doing, Mrs. Xu still doesn't understand? Of course it's a house raid!"
"You are so presumptuous! I am now also a first-class imperial concubine. My Xu family is now also the residence of a great scholar. You are not a court official. Who gave you the dog that dares to raid my Xu family? Do you want to rebel?!"
Xu Qian had been in charge of the Xu family's business when he was young, so he always had some skills, but he still seemed very tough at this time.
"When it comes to confiscation of homes, not only the imperial government can do it, but also the people who are angered can do it. Mr. Xu Qian, you are really lucky. None of Mr. Xiuwu's men could kill you back then. However, I guess you won't be able to do it today." Such a great fortune, as long as I give the order, believe it or not, everyone in your Xu family, including you, will be killed immediately?!"
As Kuang Yonghui spoke, he pointed at the trembling Xu Ji: "Catch him!"
Qin Daobao glanced at this, and two men with fierce looks came towards Xu Ji with knives. Xu Ji couldn't help but back away, and quickly looked at Xu Qian: "Old lady, grandmother!"
"What are you dawdling about!"
These two people still caught Xu Ji.
Kuang Yonghui looked at him and said: "Hand over the drawings of the spinning machine that your Xu family currently uses in the cotton yarn factory. As long as we can hand it over, we can spare your life and the lives of everyone in your Xu family, old and young."
Xu Ji shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know."
Kuang Yonghui gave Qin Daobao a look.
Qin Daobao pulled out his short knife and stabbed Xu Ji directly in the thigh.
Xu Ji, who was also a weak scholar, had never suffered such abuse before, so he screamed in pain: "Ah!"
"Master!"
The boy next to Xu Ji couldn't help shouting.
"Say it, or not tell it?!"
Qin Daobao only continued to ask viciously.
Xu Ji cried: "I, I really don't know!"
Kuang Yonghui looked at Xu Qianshi: "Mrs. Xu, do you really want to watch your grandson be killed by us?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu Qian could only cry and gritted her teeth and said: "Even if you kill me too, I can't tell you what spinning machine it is. That machine was not made by our Xu family!"
"Then you ask your Xu family's people to withdraw from your Xu family's cotton factory!"
Kuang Yonghui suddenly yelled.
"Yes, let them withdraw!"
The people behind also shouted.
Xu Qianshi looked at these people coldly, and suddenly shouted and asked: "How can you be so incompetent?!"
Then, Xu Qian said excitedly: "In order not to affect your livelihood, our Xu family has continued to collect homespun cloth, and has never expanded the scale of cotton yarn or reduced prices. We only made a little money that belongs to us. How can you be so excessive?" !”
"We can only earn the price of raw silk and cotton yarn, and we can only eat enough. Why can you, the Xu family, earn more!"
"Yes, why! You all took advantage of us!"
"You, the Xu family, lowered the price by relying on your wealth and power!"
These rioters started making noise and accused Xu Qianshi one after another.
Xu Qianshi laughed: "Then you ask your boss, ask your own clan leader, you can't make much money, what does it have to do with my Xu family! Besides, the prices of raw silk and cotton yarn have been rising, how can my Xu family suppress it?" If the price is determined, how can I lower your price?"
"You do! Your master, Xu Ge, the great scholar, has this power!"
Kuang Youhui suddenly shouted loudly, and then laughed proudly: "We say you have it!"
"Either you take the initiative to hand over the spinning machines of the cotton yarn factory and let us smash them, or we will confiscate your Xu family!"
Kuang Youhui continued.
"Conquer the Xu family!"
At this time, Qin Daobao raised his arms and shouted.
"Conquer the Xu family!"
"Conquer the Xu family!"
…
Other rioters responded.
"copy!"
Kuang Youhui shouted loudly when he saw this, and at the same time strangled Xu Ji's neck, looked at Xu Qianshi, and threatened: "Mrs. Xu, are you really going to let your Xu family die for a cotton mill? !”
Xu Ji struggled and his face became increasingly pale.
And Xu Qian continued: "Then just strangle yourself to death. This debt will be settled by my Xu family in the future. It's not you who have the final say in this world. Don't think that you people can threaten me. Cotton yarn factory Over there, you have a good idea, even if our Xu family gives in, the court will not give in."
At this moment.
Other rioters had already raided Xu's house. These people entered the courtyard and rummaged through boxes and cabinets frantically, taking out all the silk, porcelain, and even tables and chairs. Some even started arguing over this.
At this time, a student named Bao Liang ran to Kuang Youhui: "The imperial court sent many officers and soldiers and they have already passed Huating. They asked me to inform you to evacuate quickly! The ship has been prepared. You can go directly when the time comes." Escape from Jinshanwei by boat and go to Ryukyu first to avoid the limelight."
"Officers and soldiers?"
Kuang Youhui asked in surprise.
Bao Liang nodded: "The people in Dongchang are pervasive. They must have found something in advance and asked the court to prepare troops and horses in advance."
"Damn Dongchang! These factory guards from the imperial court are really annoying! They even used cannons and guns to prevent us from entering the cotton yarn factory."
As Kuang Youhui spoke, he hurriedly called Qin Daobao over: "Retreat immediately! The army is coming. It's too late to force the Xu family to make concessions now."
Qin DaoShang couldn't help but said: "Okay!"
Then, Qin Daobao asked: "But what about these people who are ransacking Xu's house?"
"It doesn't matter what these untouchables do! Let's go!"
Kuang Youhui said and turned to leave.
Qin Daobao and Bao Liang hurriedly followed.
