"You are lying! This is impossible!"
When Zhou Qing saw the division of money in Hongfa Pharmacy's Yin and Yang ledger, he couldn't hold back.
The Xu family...the main family...the red-eyed barbarians...the long-tusked barbarians...
Just the fact that the accounts involved the "Xu family" made Zhou Qing feel upset. He never expected that what he wanted to protect at all costs would actually appear in a bullshit account book. What frightened him even more was that the account book also had the word "barbarian" written on it...
"I think the so-called "red-eyed barbarians" should refer to the red-eyed wolf tribe of barbarians, right? "Long-tusked barbarians" are the long-tusked elephant tribe, right? From the books, it seems that the transactions between Hongfa Pharmacy and these barbarians are barter. , they exchanged grain for each other's various medicinal materials. The batches were larger and of better quality than what they obtained from the Slave Chamber of Commerce, and because of the price difference, they also made more money than purchasing from the Slave Chamber of Commerce.
What’s even more interesting is who is the Xu family mentioned in this account? Zhou Qing, aren’t you going to explain? "
"I don't know about the Xu family! This account book must be fake. You Xuanqing Guards are confusing right and wrong and trying to frame Zhongliang!"
Shen Hao smiled happily. A person's behavior is always in sync with his inner state. Once the behavior starts to change, it means that the person's psychology has also changed. In the same way, the more drastic the behavioral change, the more drastic the psychological change will be.
Zhou Qing is very smart and tough, but unfortunately he has never studied psychology and is not good at torture. His own reaction to the current situation has become confusing.
He was anxious.
"Zhou Qing, you may have prejudices or prejudices against our Xuanqing Guard. But I can tell you that when Xuan Qing Guard handles cases, especially big cases like yours, the case cannot be closed without evidence, and there is nothing we can do about it. Let me explain to you above. So there is no fraud in the two ledgers we showed you.
It doesn’t really matter whether you recognize it or not. You, the Zhou family, have long recognized it. You don’t think they are all as hard-boned as you, do you?
Don't you still want to say something now? "
After all, he was a man. He didn't act like a shameless fool and refused to admit his fault. He just lowered his head and ignored Shen Hao. It is estimated that Zhou Qing only has this way to fight now. He even closed his eyes, probably realizing that his performance just now revealed some of his inner thoughts.
"Zhou Qing, you still don't understand why I came to you today. Let me tell you this, there were thirty-seven people taken down with you, and ten of them had similar titles to you. I won't go looking for them. Why did we come to you? Isn’t it because you have been figured out by us before we came to you? You stiffened your neck and didn’t say anything, thinking you could get away with it?
You're not going to say "Xu Family" on the ledger, are you? Can. Let me tell you.
Your Zhou family has a woman named Zhou Yueyu, who is your great-aunt Zhou Qing. She married into a family named Xu in the Imperial City many years ago as the head mother. From then on, your Zhou family and the Xu family became in-laws. Moreover, the relationship between them has not been severed over the years. Instead, they have always maintained contact. Even your Zhou family's business on the public side has been mostly related to the Xu family, right?
As for this Xu family, isn't it the Xu family of Xu Hong, the left minister of the Ministry of War? Your great-aunt Zhou Yueyu, Zhou Qing's great-aunt, is officially Xu Hong's mother, Xu Zhou.
Am I right? "
Zhou Qing still had his eyes tightly closed, but the way he clenched his back molars showed that he was really panicking.
"In addition, the Xu family has a lot of correspondence with your Zhou family. Not only you and Xu Hong, but your wives and the people in the direct side houses of your Zhou family also have correspondence with the Xu family. There are more discussions about medicinal materials. . Rare ones cannot be bought on the market, but your Zhou family can find them through barbarian channels. Those in the Xu family also took all of them and never talked about money, but they received a lot of benefits from you.
Even in the business of Hongfa Pharmacy, you have more than 30% of the profit sharing to the Xu family.
You said, just for these two account books, it would not be unfair to give your two families the label of "colluding with foreign enemies" each, right? What's more, you and the Xu family are already among the "three clans", so it's not too much to kill them all, right? "
"Then why did you come to me?"
Seeing that Zhou Qing couldn't help but speak, Shen Hao also stood up from the chair, with the smile on his face unchanged. He walked closer, looked into Zhou Qing's eyes, and said, "I want to make a deal with you."
"I am a dying person, what deal can I make with you? Can you let me go?" Zhou Qing could only use a fierce tone and expression to cover up the heaviest loss in his heart. Indeed, with those two account books, neither the Xu family nor the Zhou family could escape. He didn't believe that Shen Hao dared to let him go.
"It's impossible to let you go. You've already been included in the file. But your youngest son, who is only seventeen years old, hasn't had time to write it down yet. You know, our Xuanqing Guard has great powers to investigate, and there is no need to go to court. Come on, if you write one less name, one less person will die. Anyway, the matter is over, why not help your Zhou family leave a descendant?"
"you......"
"Don't refuse in a hurry. Zhou Qing, you can bear the torture of Xuan Qingwei calmly, so I respect you as a man, and I will tell you some things directly.
Xu Hong has kindness and righteousness to you, and he may even have some benefits he promised you. But none of this means anything to you now. You have been holding on until now without saying a word, so you have done your best to him. He is unlucky because the unfilial son of his Xu family colluded with the idiots of your Zhou family and did that short-sighted and stupid thing, which has nothing to do with you, Zhou Qing.
Now it's time for you to think about it for yourself.
In this way, I will go out first and you can think about it for yourself. I will come back to ask you in half an hour. Hopefully you'll give us all some wiggle room. "
After Shen Hao finished speaking, he called Chen Tianwen out of the torture room.
"Sir, can it be done?" When he walked into the yard, Chen Tianwen stood at the edge and asked worriedly.
"I don't know, let's give it a try. Zhou Qing is no longer the tough guy he was before. The tone in his heart is gone. As long as he doesn't reject my proposal on the spot, it means he will seriously consider it. You said When a person starts to think about himself, will he no longer worry about other people's affairs?"
"Haha, thank you sir."
"Okay, Old Chen, you and I are old acquaintances. I have been under your command for many years. I still don't know what your abilities are? You must have thought of these early on. Why do you need to flatter me?"
Chen Tianwen didn't feel embarrassed at all when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, "Master Shen Mingjian, this is not to flatter you, but what you said is indeed much more detailed than I thought."
As his status increased, Chen Tianwen couldn't help but be disrespectful, especially with the evil aura around Shen Hao. He felt cold even when he was standing by. How could he dare to be as casual as before?
