Zhao Guangda's face suddenly changed.
Sixty percent of the family property was not a small amount. To Zhao Guangda, if it was to fund the construction of roads, handing over the money given by Qin Li was just a drop in the ocean. After all, the money given by Qin Li did not belong to Zhao Guangda. The other donated property and food seemed to be a lot, but in fact, it had no impact on the Zhao family.
Du Qi's conditions were different, so Zhao Guangda did not know what to do for a while.
Let him give up the money in his hands.
He was unwilling.
Du Qi saw Zhao Guangda's appearance and sneered. He thought that Zhao Guangda was more sensible, but now it seemed that he was greedy and unwilling to give up the money.
Du Qi faintly said, "Forget it. Since Village Chief Zhao is unwilling, then there's nothing to say. Come, take Zhao Guangda, seal up the Zhao family, and take them back to Chang 'an County Government. "
"Wait!"
Zhao Guangda quickly said.
He was afraid of Du Qi. When he heard Du Qi's words, he said, "Young Master Du, I am willing to cooperate, I am willing to cooperate. But 60 percent of the family property is too much. The reason why the Zhao family is what it is today is because of the savings of generations of ancestors. Taking out 60% of the family fortune at once was simply too much. 50 percent, how about 50 percent? Young Master Du, please give me a way out. "
Du Qi said lightly, "Now it's changed, 70 percent!"
Zhao Guangda's cheeks twitched, and his buttocks slumped on the ground, with a look of despair. He finally understood that Du Qi in front of him was an extremely tough person who could not be persuaded by force or persuasion.
Just to peel off his skin.
Just to dig out the roots of the Zhao family.
Zhao Guangda's expression was extremely painful. He was now very clear that as long as he opened his mouth to bargain, Du Qi's conditions would definitely be more harsh.
Zhao Guangda now did not dare to open his mouth again. He said directly, "Young Master Du, I admit it. My Zhao family will take out 70 percent of the money to supply the construction team."
Du Qi said, "You don't need to arrange the supply of the construction team. This Young Master has his own plans. Now, take this young master's men and go directly to the treasury. Take out the money, land deeds, and farmland. Convert everything into money and give it to this young master to take away. If you say it's 70%, then it's 70%. I won't take advantage of you. "
Zhao Guangda replied, "Yes!"
His heart was bleeding.
The problem was that Zhao Guangda could not stop them. He could only bring Liu Zhengxi and some of the soldiers into the Zhao family's vault. Because Zhao Guangda wasn't prepared in advance, there was no way he could hide the Zhao family's wealth, land deeds, and fertile land. According to the real seventy percent, this wasn't a small amount. It was nearly six hundred thousand strings of cash.
Du Qi was also shocked when he saw the data that Liu Zhengxi reported. The Zhao Family in a small village had easily found more than six hundred thousand strings of cash.
Especially when it was only 70%.
The Zhao family still had a lot of property.
Of course, this was understandable. A family like the Zhao family, which had been deeply rooted in the local area for hundreds of years, had accumulated wealth generation after generation. Zhao Guangda had already accumulated a lot of money.
That was why he had so much money.
Du Qi ordered Xiao Yuanqi to take the money and leave. He said, "The matter has been solved. Now, you can send people to Chang 'an to redress your grievances. This young master will wait for you. "
Zhao Guangda hurriedly said he didn't dare.
He really didn't dare to go.
Zhao Guangda did not really believe Du Qi's words. Currently, he could only suffer in silence, unable to voice out his bitterness. Especially since he had already offended Li Shentong. Now, he had to curry favor with Du Qi.
If Li Shentong really wanted to deal with him, with Du Qi's support, the Zhao family of Zhao Guangda wouldn't be afraid.
Zhao Guangda thought that Li Shentong might retaliate. He also thought that he had given 70% of his property. He gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Du, my Zhao family is willing to give another 10% of our property. Please protect the Zhao family."
Du Qi said, "Okay!"
Anyway, it was just a matter of a few words.
Zhao Guangda immediately arranged it. Not long after, someone came with land deeds and land deeds. The Zhao family didn't have any more gold bars, so they couldn't convert them into money. They could only use the land deeds and land deeds as collateral.
After Du Qi took it, he looked at Zhao Guangda and said, "Zhao Guangda, you have many small problems, but overall, you haven't done anything that offends the heavens or violates the law. So I won't pursue this matter. If Li Shentong wants to deal with you, I will take care of it for you. Now do your job well and cooperate with the construction team to finish the road construction. "
"Yes, yes!"
Zhao Guangda hurriedly replied.
"Let's go!"
Du Qi ordered.
They went back. When they returned to the camp, Du Qi asked Xiao Yuanqi to arrange for a large amount of money to be sent to the bank in Chang 'an early tomorrow morning.
After instructing Xiao Yuanqi, Du Qi and Liu Zhengxi discussed how to deal with Li Shentong.
Liu Zhengxi said, "Young Master, I think this time Li Shentong arranged Qin Li to instigate Zhao Guangda to block the road construction. It's not just one case. In addition, there must be related matters on other roads. "
"My suggestion is to send Qin Li back to the Chang 'an County Government to be detained."
"As for the news, don't report it to His Majesty for the time being. When the news from all places is gathered, then report it together. At that time, even if Li Shentong tries to defend himself, there will be enough evidence. Don't worry about Li Shentong's denial. "
Liu Zhengxi suggested.
"No!"
Du Qi shook his head.
Liu Zhengxi said, "What do you think, Young Master?"
Du Qi said, "When all the news is gathered together, I'm afraid it will take a long time. At that time, it'll be different to deal with Li Shentong. Times change. Things will gradually change. "
"Now that we've seized the opportunity, we have to strike while the iron is hot. We have to report it immediately and let His Majesty know about it."
"Of course, I won't directly target Li Shentong. At the end of the letter, I'll specifically mention that this matter may be accidental. It's not Li Shentong who deliberately made trouble. His Majesty doesn't need to investigate and deal with it so as to avoid affecting Li Shentong's position in the imperial family. "
A light flashed in Du Qi's eyes. He said, "After His Majesty sees it, even if he doesn't punish Li Shentong for the time being, as time goes by, there will be more and more letters related to Li Shentong. He will punish Li Shentong. Li Shentong making trouble for the road construction is a big matter. It's related to the political policy of the imperial court. "
"Li Shentong making trouble in this matter is tantamount to courting death."
"As for what you've mentioned, it's not appropriate to report it later. After this report, His Majesty may not punish Li Shentong for the time being because of his identity. "
"After all, Li Shentong is an important minister in the imperial court. But what if Li Shentong's people make trouble the next time? "
"If things happen one after the other, it'll be different."
Du Qi said, "According to the information provided by Wang Bei, Li Shentong has been the one to deal with us. The Eastern Palace has been hiding in the background. Since Li Shentong has made his move one after another, we'll kill Li Shentong first. Although Li Shentong's identity isn't simple, he doesn't have Li Jiancheng's identity. With so many things happening one after another, His Majesty will deal with Li Shentong. "
Liu Zhengxi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He said, "Young Master is wise!"
Liu Zhengxi completely agreed with Du Qi's analysis. The best way to deal with it now was according to Du Qi's words. Because it would be inappropriate not to report it.
