Zhu Di didn't scream in a hurry.
Chu Ze is here to stir up trouble, so there is no need for him to be too kind.
After letting them kneel for a while, Zhu Di slowly said: "Are you Bai Qingwen?"
Bai Qingwen's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes." Bai Qingwen lowered his head lower.
Zhu Di changed his posture and asked again: "We heard that you are the richest man in Fuzhou. With your family's money, you can buy the entire city of Fuzhou?"
"No, no, although we have some small money, we don't have that much money." Bai Qingwen didn't know why Zhu Di mentioned this, he subconsciously explained, "These are rumors from outsiders, how can we have so much money. "Don't say he doesn't have it. He can't admit it if he does.
Bai Qingwen was beating a drum in his heart.
The other people kneeling behind him were also uneasy, and they didn't dare to express their anger. They just lay on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
He was afraid that he would accidentally become the one who stood out and be caught by Zhu Di.
Chu Ze said "Oh", looked at Bai Qingwen with a smile, and said: "This is impossible, we heard that Mr. Bai also negotiated a large deal with Ryukyu National Master Kang Cheng at noon today, a total of one hundred thousand taels. Bai If the master says now that he has no money, who will believe him?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Qingwen's heart was beating wildly and he was dripping with cold sweat.
He also said why he was always uneasy.
It turned out to be because of this!
But didn't Kang Cheng say that God knows this and the earth knows it, Kang Cheng knows that he knows it, and apart from that, no other person will know about it.
How did Chu Ze know? !
Fang Yu, who was kneeling behind him, glanced up at Bai Qingwen strangely, then lowered his head and continued to kneel honestly.
"What's wrong, are you scared?" Chu Ze looked at Bai Qingwen funny.
Bai Qingwen's face turned pale, and his hands on the ground were shaking.
No matter where Chu Ze's news came from, this matter must not be acknowledged.
Bai Qingwen gritted his teeth and tried to defend himself: "I don't know where you heard this, sir. We went out at noon, but we just went out for a meal. How come we didn't know that we had seen the country of Ryukyu?" Teacher? Please don’t listen to the wind and the rain..."
Bang!
Chu Ze raised his hand and slammed the tea cup to the ground, causing the tea and broken porcelain pieces to fly all over the floor.
Chu Ze stood up suddenly, strode up to Bai Qingwen, raised his foot and kicked him on the shoulder, knocking him straight to the ground.
Bai Qingwen was kicked until his eyesight blurred, and he couldn't help but groan.
Before Bai Qingwen could react, Chu Ze reached out again, grabbed Bai Qingwen's collar, lifted him up, and looked directly into Bai Qingwen's eyes.
"Bai Qingwen, do you really think we don't know anything?"
"We all know about the conversation between you and Kang Cheng upstairs." Chu Ze gritted his teeth, and his voice sounded like it was coming from hell, filled with a deep chill. He said word by word, "Kang Cheng is Let me prepare one hundred thousand taels of silver for him within a month, right?"
Bai Qingwen gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Chu Ze snorted coldly and threw the person to the ground with all his strength.
He clapped his hands and stood up, looking at Bai Qingwen condescendingly, as if he were looking at an ant: "Did Kang Cheng also tell you that he bet with us that he needs one hundred thousand taels of silver to build the West Lake. As long as he wins, then we have to Being reprimanded by the emperor allows you to vent your anger, right?"
Seeing Bai Qingwen's sharply shrinking pupils, Chu Ze knew that he had guessed correctly.
The biggest conflict between Bai Qingwen and himself is here.
Kang Cheng wants Bai Qingwen to help him, and this is the best tool to convince him.
But that's not enough.
Although Bai Qingwen is a profiteer, he also does some bribery.
But he was extremely careful in everything he did.
At least until now, Chu Ze has not obtained evidence that this man deserves death.
This shows how vigilant he is.
He would never agree to something like this that sounded treasonous at first glance.
Unless Kang Cheng can guarantee that no matter what the final result is, he, Bai Qingwen, will not be implicated.
In this case, there is only one possibility.
"Did Kang Cheng also tell you that you only need to collect money for him, and he took out the money in the name of someone else, so that he could kill you cleanly?" After Chu Ze finished speaking, he was still there just now Bai Qingwen, who was holding on, his expression instantly turned white.
He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Chu Ze: "You, how did you know?!"
"Hmph, you little Jiujiu, you still want to hide this from us?" Chu Ze sneered disdainfully, despising both Bai Qingwen and Kang Cheng.
If Bai Qingwen still wanted to tell Chu Ze a few words before, now, Bai Qingwen has no thoughts at all.
He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Ze: "Sir, please forgive me. Kang Cheng mentioned this to us, but we didn't agree!"
Behind him, the confusion in Fang Yu's eyes deepened.
This afternoon, Bai Qingwen suddenly called them all over.
He said he had something important to tell them.
Only then did Fang Yu and others appear here in unison.
After arriving, Bai Qingwen told them that he now had a big business and needed one hundred thousand taels of silver.
If it is done, they will all be great benefactors to Fuzhou.
Fang Yu asked what business it was.
What Bai Qingwen was talking about at that time was to build the West Lake.
He said he wanted to contract the project.
At that time, Fang Yu pointed out that they would never make much money from this kind of project, and with Chu Ze around, the project might not fall into their hands.
But Bai Qingwen seemed to be in a daze, desperately trying to collect the money.
Before Chu Ze arrived, they were already discussing how much each family would pay.
No wonder he felt that Bai Qingwen's arrangement was strange.
It turns out that this money has such a source in the middle.
Bai Qingwen did this in an unethical manner.
But he wouldn't tell Chu Ze about this.
He didn't agree with Bai Qingwen doing this, but it didn't mean that he was happy to go to Chu Ze.
Fang Yu lowered his head silently, pretending that he didn't know anything.
Chu Ze looked at Bai Qingwen kneeling at his feet and kicked him away.
"Are you worried now?" Chu Ze sneered.
Bai Qingwen must be anxious.
This matter cannot be seen in the light.
Now that he was singled out directly by Chu Ze, how could he not be anxious?
Bai Qingwen got up, walked to Chu Ze on his knees, and said anxiously: "As long as Mr. Chu does not pursue this matter, we will only follow Mr. Chu's lead from now on! How about we raise these ten taels of silver for Mr. Chu?"
This was an unexpected surprise.
He originally just wanted to cut off Kang Cheng's path, but Bai Qingwen actually took the initiative to send the money to him.
"Okay." Chu Ze agreed readily, but his vigilance did not diminish at all. He lowered his head and warned Bai Qingwen in a cold voice, "You'd better keep your word. Otherwise..." He raised his head and glanced at this place. He smiled dangerously at the huge mansion, and he finished what he said, "Otherwise, this White Mansion will be turned into ruins."
Bai Qingwen's body trembled, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "Don't dare, don't dare."
