Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 331 Knocking Bamboo Poles

That ......" Liu Defa wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know if he was too fat and hot or because he was nervous after hearing what Cao Yi said just now.

"Cao Gongzi, is that girl named Yu Youwei really your teacher's daughter?"

"yes, what's the matter, why am I lying to you?" Cao Yi felt a little strange, did this Liu Defa not grasp the key point, and suddenly asked about this matter.

"It's okay...... It's okay......" The sweat on Liu Defa's forehead increased, "Cao Gongzi, as the saying goes, it is better to settle grievances than to settle them, there is no eternal hatred, only eternal interests." ”

"That being said, do you have anything else you want to say, Master Liu?"

"And? What's more? Liu Defa looked at Cao Yi with a confused expression, even if he deliberately opened his eyes wide in order to show his confusion and confusion, but no matter how hard he tried, his eyes were still only so big.

"It's really shameless, the richest man in Yangzhou, the four major families of the Salt Gang, would you not know what I said in such a young man?" Although Cao Yi still maintained this calm face on his face, he was complaining frantically in his heart.

"Oh? If the head of the Liu family was treated like me, would you just forget it? The head of the Liu family, you must speak to be worthy of your conscience. Cao Yi said lightly.

Liu Defa's expression, which had been smiling, stiffened slightly, and then immediately returned to normal, nodded and said: "Yes, at my age, if someone treats me like this, I will definitely not give up......

Cao Yi pursed his lips: "Yes, that's not it, not to mention that I'm young and vigorous, the head of the Liu family thinks that I will suddenly be so generous, and it is not appropriate to settle the matter for no reason?" ”

Liu Defa showed a look of clarity on his face, nodded, and said: "What Cao Gongzi said is that I didn't think it through, and I don't know what Cao Gongzi can do...... Reconciliation ......"

"Well...... It's not that I have the final say, but it's determined by the sincerity shown by the Liu family master. Cao Yi didn't throw out his conditions immediately, to be honest, he didn't know what kind of conditions to say. He himself knew that he wanted to arrest Liu Chengze immediately, but the form was stronger than the person.

In Yangzhou, a one-acre and three-point land, there is the protection of Guo Chao, who was sentenced to death in Yangzhou, even if Fei Haomiao is completely on Cao Yi's side, even if Cao Yi has clear evidence, he may not be able to completely convict Liu Chengze, not to mention that he only has a one-sided record of Zuo Gao.

As for the authenticity of the records inside, Cao Yi and Fei Haomiao did not doubt it, of course, if they did not doubt it, it did not mean that others felt that it was the case, and the punishment of crimes was also about evidence after all. So last night, Cao Yi asked Fei Haomiao to arrange someone to privately and low-key check out those things. After all, anyone can take out a piece of paper casually, and it can be said that this is left by Zuo Gao, so it doesn't matter who wrote it, the key is whether the content written is true.

"Hehe, you don't need to say this, Gongzi Cao, I naturally came with sincerity." Liu Defa smiled and took out a letterhead and handed it to Cao Yi.

Cao Yi took it suspiciously, he couldn't guess what was inside this thin envelope, if it weren't for the fact that there was no silver ticket yet, and even Jiaozi hadn't appeared, he guessed that it was a silver ticket for compensation.

Cao Yi quickly opened the envelope, took out the paper from it and opened it, and a quick flash of light flashed in his eyes, it turned out to be the title deed document located in the courtyard at the mouth of Chongya Lane that he had taken someone to see that day.

Although Cao Yi was shocked in his heart, he couldn't see any ups and downs on his face, and he returned the title deed race to the envelope with an expressionless face, handed it back, and said lightly: "What do you mean by this, Master Liu?" ”

"A yard, in exchange for a friendship, the grievances between the dog and Cao Gongzi will be written off!" Liu Defa looked at Cao Yi and said slowly.

Cao Yi's expression moved: "The sincerity of the head of the Liu family is really big enough, and he deserves to be the richest man in Yangzhou!" It's just that I don't know if there is anything else that the head of the Liu family hasn't said? ”

"Haha, Cao Gongzi is too worried, I don't have anything extra to say, it's this yard to make up for the dog's offense to Cao Gongzi, I hope Cao Gongzi can see our sincerity and forgive the dog."

Cao Yi was silent, his heart turned sharply, if it was just a yard, in exchange for his own beating, it seemed to be unwilling, but this yard is worth 60,000 taels of silver, if it is according to the price system of this era, one tael of silver is a thousand yuan, and twenty yuan can buy a bucket of rice, that is, about twelve catties, converted into the price of modern Cao Yi at that time before the crossing, a pound of rice is about two yuan. One tael of silver is equivalent to more than 1,200 yuan, so 60,000 taels of silver is 72 million yuan......

Cao Yi was also surprised by such a conversion in his heart, but even if he was shocked and surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, pondered for a moment, Cao Yi showed a smile on his face, and Liu Defa also showed a smile on his face, thinking that today's matter has been completed, since there is no grudge between the two sides, then we can also talk about the next cooperation.

However, the smile on his face didn't last long, and it was made disappear by Cao Yi's next words.

"Master Liu, touch your conscience and say, if you make up for this courtyard to make up for me being framed and sent to prison, and I was beaten with a leather whip, I think it is completely enough, and I am willing to reach a reconciliation with your son, after all, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, but ......" Cao Yi said this, paused, took a breath, and looked at Liu Defa.

"But what?" Liu Defa came over and blurted out, and then realized that he was led by the nose by Cao Yi, a child, but since the words have already been asked, let's see what Cao Yi will say next.

"Since the head of the Liu family has asked people to go to Jiangning to check, he naturally knows that the object of your son's disrespect was redeemed by me from Jinfeng Tower, but with the power of the head of the Liu family, do you find out that Yu Youwei is still the righteous daughter of my teacher Lu Gong, and the younger sister of Fei Haomiao, the governor of Yangzhou, to some extent, your son has offended two people...... And I'm not alone! Cao Yi looked at Liu Defa meaningfully and said slowly.

In fact, Cao Yi was also gambling, he had guessed that Duke Lu was very likely to be an official of the imperial court, but he didn't know how much Duke Lu had done as an official before, and what influence he had, but from the fact that Mrs. Qin is Mrs. Decree, and Fei Haomiao is only his registered disciple, he is already the governor of Yangzhou, and it can be seen that Duke Lu's identity should also be very prominent.

And when he discussed with Liu Defa before, Cao Yi was also keenly aware that when he said Yu Youwei's identity, Liu Defa was still excited, and asked whether it was true or false afterwards, indicating that he cared very much about Yu Youwei's identity as Lu Gongyi's daughter, so Cao Yi wanted to try the other party's reaction.
