The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Chapter 136

"Do you know what this is?" Yao Wancheng raised the dagger inlaid with gems.

"Knife." Shen Da murmured, trembling all over, "You can't kill me, I'm innocent!"

"I'm not going to kill you, I'm just giving you torture." Yao Wancheng said, "Tell me, I'll use this knife to cut open your skin bit by bit and let you bleed, it won't hurt too much, it's just a flesh wound. How about a few hundred cuts on your body?"

Shen Da trembled all over, "You think I dare not?" Yao Wancheng chuckled.

Shen Da shook his head hastily, shrank back cowardly, Yao Wancheng suddenly put the dagger on Shen Da's torn clothes, and slowly scratched down along the whip marks, "You only have one chance today, if I really do it, Even if you confess today, you have to suffer today's punishment."

The cold blade cut across the skin that had just been whipped, and Shen Da felt that he was about to lose control. He couldn't care about his life or the safety of his family at this moment, and even developed hatred for the rest of the Shen family. Why didn't Dad throw away the things that belonged to him? !Why was the Shen family's money never spent on him, and why did he have to bear the crime in the end? !

Shen Da had already figured it out in the past few days, if that thing violated the law, it must be because his family's money came from a wrong path, it was not like what his father said, it was saving some noble person, and the reward given by the noble person might be a conspiracy If money kills life, there will be today's disaster.

However, he has never spent such ill-gotten money!The third child is still able to read and write by pointing at the money, what about him?What does he have? !It was just marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law back then, but now, she is already old and frail.

If he can also spend money to read and write, will he be able to recognize the characters on the token and find something wrong, so that he won't pawn the things.If he had also entered the school, would he have already become a scholar in the imperial examination at this moment, so why would he even think about stealing property from the family!

Shen Da subconsciously ignored the fact that he didn't like to read and write, and only pushed all his mistakes on others, as if he wanted to find a reason for himself and persuade himself to accept his fate quickly, "It's not me, it's really not me, I picked things up I am innocent!" Shen Da closed his eyes.

"Don't say? Okay, my dagger hasn't seen blood for a long time..." Yao Wancheng chuckled, the blade slowly pressed into Shen Da's skin, the cold touch, severe pain and fear enveloped Shen Da, Shen Da's last trace The line of defense finally collapsed, he doesn't want it, don't get slashed hundreds of dollars!

"I'll do it! I'll do it!" Shen Da said loudly, "Pull out the knife quickly. Come out!"

Shen Da was terrified and gasped for breath. Yao Wancheng didn't really intend to scratch him for a whole day, so he took out the dagger when he heard that, "Say!"

"Yes! Yes... yes... it's me..."

"Want to try again? It will take another day to confess again!" Yao Wancheng licked his lips.

"I'm recruiting, I'm recruiting! I stole my dad's, it's from my family, I don't know anything, it's all my dad's stuff, I thought it was valuable, so I took it out secretly, I don't know anything, I have never spent a penny at home, it was all spent by the third child! Please forgive me! Please forgive me..."

"County magistrate, write it down!"

"Yes!"

Yao Wancheng smiled, "Let him draw a bet!"

"Yes!"

The Shen family broke into a group of yamen servants, arrested Shen's father, and confiscated all of the Shen family's property as evidence. As soon as he entered the prison, Shen's father was punished, and Yao Wancheng personally executed the sentence under the watchful eye. Shen's father was a bit tougher than Shen Da, and he confessed that life would be worse than death after holding on for a whole day.

After getting the testimony, Yao Wancheng copied a copy and brought it back to Huaizhou, and handed over the rest to the county magistrate, who reported the matter layer by layer.

Shen Ling didn't even realize it in Huaizhou. After the silver was handed over to Guo Si to send it away, he was free for a while, but he was still busy with the business of cosmetic boxes. Some businessmen in Jinzhou were very interested in this item and expressed their interest in it. To buy, Shen Ling quoted the price to them, saying it was 100 taels of silver a set.

"Boss Shen, is this too expensive? We want a lot, can you..."

"Everyone! It's not that I deliberately raised the price. You know the price of enamel paint. It's already expensive. Look at the craftsmanship of my rouge box. It's exquisite. It takes more effort than porcelain bottles. In addition, it's divided into categories. The lip gloss gouache, this eyebrow powder is the raw material made by the high-quality Luozidai, and the lip gloss, which smells sweet, but the essential oil of flowers is carefully extracted, and only a drop or two of several catties of flowers are extracted! How much does it cost you to do it manually? Do you know? Of course, I won’t talk about how to extract the essential oil, this is my recipe, and it has to be kept secret, so let’s just talk about this thing, is it 100 taels expensive?”

"Not expensive, not expensive..." Everyone shook their heads, acquiescing that Shen Ling was right.

After a long time, everyone saw that the price could not be suppressed, so they had to accept their fate. Shen Ling also said that this thing is not for ordinary women, but only noble people can afford it. It is a symbol of status and will become a A nobleman has a box of things in his hand.

Now that this item has just entered the WTO, the rich wives and daughters of the capital and Jinzhou do not have it yet. They understand that it is a profitable business, and they have to win it no matter what. "I want three hundred boxes!"

"I want five hundred!"

"I want... seventy..."

Shen Ling agreed with a smile, and took everyone to sign the contract and set a delivery time. After all, he doesn't have that much stock in hand now.

After finishing the business, Shen Ling welcomed the president of the Jinzhou Chamber of Commerce again. This person has not left since the auction, but he is drumming up something in Huaizhou, so he came to visit again today.

"Boss Xu, please come in." Shen Ling invited him in.

"Boss Shen, I'm here today to ask for something."

"You said, if I can help you, I will do my best." Shen Ling said boldly.

President Xu thought for a while and said, "It's about enamel paint. We intend to work with you. We all have prescriptions in our hands at the moment. If we join forces, we can fight to occupy all the enamel color business."

Shen Ling laughed, "You're joking, the Yao family also has a factory! What do you mean by ownership?"

President Xu pondered for a moment, and then said: "This matter is very important, enamel color has the advantage of replacing ordinary porcelain, and now enamel color has just emerged, and even the position of the imperial merchant is not sure, it is a time when there is a bright future, even if it is Yao Shi, can't stop us from uniting."

Shen Ling said: "President Xu is not afraid of Mrs. Yao?"

"It's nothing to be afraid of, President Shen has Mr. Fu as his support, and I'm also familiar with Prince Duan." President Xu narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

Another master with a background, but it's not surprising, but, Prince Duan is the third prince's mother's family, right?He remembered that Duan Rui was the young prince of the Duan family?Shen Ling suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. If President Xu belonged to Prince Duan, wouldn't the money he got from President Xu be the third prince's money?It's just moving the left hand to the right.

Feeling that the credit is not so important anymore, Shen Ling frowned.

President Xu, like an old fox, continued to encourage Shen Ling, "It is a great benefit to unite with me. You are from Mr. Fu, and I am related to the Duan family. When we are together, we help each other. In the future, no matter who We can all be invincible.”

Shen Ling looked at President Xu as if he saw himself back then, "Did Lord Duan know that President Xu gave me 200 million taels of silver? Didn't he say anything?"

"Don't mention this matter, we are businessmen, and doing business has nothing to do with the government." Chairman Xu said.

It turned out to be an old fox who was not under the control of the Duan family, probably this person didn't even know that he was from the third prince, right?He's all about business.Thinking of this, Shen Ling nodded, "Since President Xu is not afraid of the Yao family, just as I am not, then as President Xu said, we will together occupy all the enamel market and do this business."

This is not a business, it is a monopoly!

When Shen San came, Shen Ling was still very strange. After all, he felt that Shen San should study hard at home for the exam, and strive to pass the exam in one fell swoop. It couldn't be because he didn't send money to the Shen family, so he came here to ask for money, right?

"Father was arrested, and father killed someone back then." Shen San had a cold face and was in a panic, after thinking for a while, he added, "Military Master Chuci."

Shen Ling stood up abruptly, "Is it funny? Are you here to tease me?" At this time, there were no outsiders, and Shen Ling no longer put on an air.

Shen San closed his eyes. If he could, he didn't want to believe it, let alone ask Shen Ling, "Brother stole something from the house and took it to the pawn shop. It turned out that the thing was Chu Ci's personal token back then. It was engraved with The elder brother was illiterate and didn't know the seriousness. He was recognized and reported to the government. One day, Dad also confessed, and when I went to see Dad, he was beaten to pieces."

"Hmph! I believe in murder. After all, the whole family has spent so much money and spent a lifetime. The source is unknown, but the military master Chu Ci..."

Shen Ling has been in this world for long enough, so he naturally knows how famous this person is. How could such a powerful person die at the hands of his father, a countryman? How could it be possible?

Shen San knew that Shen Ling was puzzled, so why wasn't he shocked and couldn't believe it, but he had already asked his father and found out his confession through his relationship, "Father said, Chu Ci is a twin, and he took advantage of his childbirth At present, it was a time of war, and there were refugees everywhere. My father used to steal and rob for a living. He happened to meet Chu Ci. Seeing that his package seemed heavy, and seeing that he was alone and pregnant with a child, he took advantage of him. When he was giving birth, he didn't know Chu Ci's identity at all, and his father couldn't read, so he took valuables from him and pawned them off bit by bit. The cards were pawned, and it turned out..."

Shen San could hardly continue. He also thought his father's behavior of leaving the token was stupid, but his father explained to him in tears that he didn't dare to throw it away. Over the years, he also understood that this token can prove his identity. Dare to throw it away and bury it casually. If someone picks it up or digs it out, others will know that the murderer lives in this area. If you check carefully and find out his theft and robbery in the past, I'm afraid they will suspect him. How dare you throw it away.

Shen San didn't want to say too much, the deal was done, the eldest brother and father had already confessed, the witnesses and material evidence were all there, it was already too late.

"Save dad!" Shen San grabbed Shen Ling's arm, "something happened to dad, we will all suffer!"

Shen Ling shook off Shen San's hand, and said coldly: "At this time, what you care about most is yourself. You are really a good son of Dad! It's the same line."

"What about you! Isn't it the same for you! Your cold heart is not inferior to your father's. Don't think I can't see it. In the past two years, you have basically separated from your family, so you don't plan to have any relationship! "Shen San roared, "Don't think that you can get away with this matter. If father is convicted, my future will be blocked, and your son will not be much better! Look at who dares to let your son pass the imperial examination in the future!"

Shen Ling was stabbed to the sore spot by Shen San, and she stood up abruptly, almost wanting to choose someone and devour her.

"So, this time, we have to do our best to rescue dad." Shen San gritted his teeth coldly.

Shen Ling was persuaded by Shen San, he didn't intend to pay attention to this matter, but, as Shen San said, if something happened to Shen's father, it would affect his children and grandchildren, and his son was just born, so it shouldn't ruin his future.

"I'll help you! But I don't know which step I can take..."

Shen San breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Shen Ling is willing to let go.
