Chapter 381: The Fake Shang Absolutely Stuns the Real Villain
Cui Shenmo was sarcastic, and he didn't dare to show it on this occasion, and said: "Cui Mouxi is the head of the family, and he may not be able to enter your eyes, and I have done all the internal affairs of the Cui family." If I say no, no one in my family will dare to disagree with me. β
He squinted and chuckled, not taking Ren Zhen's words as a threat.
Ren Zhen also laughed, "Cui Shenmo, don't talk too much." Even if you incite the clan and steal Cui Mao's position as the head of the family, his property still belongs to him. If he takes the property away and settles it with the Cui family, how much weight does your family have left? β
Hearing this, the gentry present were all shocked.
Robbing the head of the house? Didn't the rumors say that Cui Mao was insane and could no longer do business, so he could only be replaced by Cui Shenmo? Listening to the words of the Blowing Water Hou, it seems that there is another hidden meaning in it!
Cui Shenmo's smile suddenly dissipated, and he became gloomy. He finally realized that Ren Zhen still refused to give up and wanted to use this dinner party to continue to interfere in the Cui family's internal fighting.
He leaned back in his chair and stared at Ren Zhen directly opposite the banquet, his eyes were indifferent, "Master Mao is a thief with a weak heart, and he committed suicide by taking poison yesterday, you know this." The suicide note clearly states that his property will be inherited by his eldest son, Choi Naruto, and will not be separated from the Choi family. In front of the public, why did the Hou Ye ask knowingly? β
The crowd was shocked again.
The Cui family kept the news tightly sealed, and the outside world was kept in the dark, thinking that Cui Mao was recuperating at home, but he thought that he was dead yesterday.
Everyone looked embarrassed and felt sorry for Cui Mao's passing.
Over the years, as the leader of Qinghe, Cui Mao led local merchants to work hard, huddle together, and do business all over the world, building a huge business empire. He has accumulated prestige with his strength and credibility, and his position in the hearts of Qinghe people is irreplaceable.
A generation of business wizards, who are dominant, have passed away so quietly, how can they not make their colleagues sad.
When Ren Zhen heard this, he snorted coldly and replied: "What you said is simply absurd. Cui Mao did not commit suicide by taking poison, but was poisoned by your men. That suicide note is also fake, he has no intention of letting a rebel son who plots against his father inherit the family business! β
The audience was in an uproar.
What's the situation, the transposition of the head of the Cui family turned out to be a conspiracy to kill people for money!
Cui Shenmo's eyes trembled, calmed his mind, and said in a cold voice: "Cai Jiushi, even if you are a high-ranking military marquis, you can't spew blood and put a trumped-up charge on my head." You'd better come up with evidence today, otherwise, there will be an imperial historian who will impeach you in the court! β
He glanced at Ren Zhen coldly, fearless.
When planning this conspiracy, he calculated the details of Cui Mao's killing accurately, and there was absolutely no mistake, and it was impossible for Ren Zhen to find evidence. Cui Mao is dead, there is no proof of death, who can prove that he is the mastermind behind the scenes?
Seeing this, everyone shook their heads secretly.
Hearing the conversation between these two people, they all vaguely guessed that Cui Mao would not suddenly fall ill, let alone commit suicide by taking poison, and the fact may be as Ren Zhen said, this is a conspiracy carefully planned by Cui Shenmo, and it has succeeded.
Ren Zhen is still too young, without evidence, and has a righteous spirit, so he wants to bring down Cui Shenmo and seek justice for the late Cui Mao, this idea is too naΓ―ve. If he attacks in public tonight, not only will he not be able to punish Cui Shenmo, but he will also get into trouble for himself.
Why bother?
At the central banquet, Cui Shenmo sat proudly, but he wanted to see how Ren Zhen could end up riding a tiger.
At this time, Ren Zhen was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "Do you think you have done it seamlessly and without any flaws?" Cui Shenmo, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. If you want proof, keep your eyes open! β
With that, he clapped his hands gently.
Behind the lobby, a figure came out and came to everyone.
This person is burly, dignified, and with his gestures, he exudes an invisible majesty, who is it not Shang Jue Cui Mao?
The audience was amazed.
Cui Shenmo squinted his eyes, and after seeing Cui Mao's appearance clearly, his face was instantly bloodless. He jumped up from his chair in fright, staggered backwards, and looked terrified in his eyes.
"Come on...... Haunted! β
He was a thief with a weak heart, and he was so frightened that his heart and gall were broken.
Yesterday, he had asked his subordinates to specially check that Cui Mao had no breath at all, and he was completely dead. Except for the haunting, he really couldn't imagine why Cui Mao would be safe and sound and stand in front of him again.
The guests were also shocked and speechless, staring at Cui Mao tightly, and repeatedly confirmed for a long time. These eyebrows, eyes and facial features are indeed Cui Mao himself, and there will be no mistake.
Cui Mao walked up to Cui Shenmo, his eyes were split, and he scolded angrily: "Evil obstacles! β
His voice was terrible, like the roar of the wind, and his face was even more hideous. He stared at Cui Shenmo, eager to kill this vicious and cunning villain immediately.
Cui Shenmo collapsed to the ground, and when he heard this loud shout, he was terrified to the extreme, his eyes were dark, and he fainted on the spot.
Seeing this, Ren Zhen stood up and played a round game, and advised: "Mr. Cui is angry, your throat has been severely poisoned, and according to the doctor's instructions, you can't speak yet." Don't worry, Ben Hou is here and will help you uphold justice! β
The poison damages his throat, which is a good explanation for why his voice is rough, not the same as before.
Someone next to him vacated a seat and asked Cui Mao to sit down and rest.
Ren Zhen ordered someone to wake up Cui Shenmo, and said to everyone: "The sky has eyes, don't let the traitor succeed." Yesterday, I went to visit Cui's mansion, and Cui Shenmo was afraid that his evil deeds would be exposed, so he poisoned Mr. Cui to death. Fortunately, there was a famous doctor in our military camp who treated him in time, and the truth was revealed. β
A scoop of cold water was splashed on his face, and Cui Shenmo opened his eyes leisurely.
Ren Zhen looked down at him, his eyes sneering, "The evidence you want is here, and now you dare to say that you are innocent, and I am a bloody squirt?" β
Cui Shenmo sat on the ground with a desperate expression, and only then did he realize that Ren Zhen left in a hurry yesterday, and it turned out that he was in a hurry to return to the barracks and find a divine doctor to detoxify Cui Mao.
It's too late to understand.
Ren Zhen sat back in his seat and said unhurriedly: "I have asked Cui Mingjiu to take people to Cui's house to arrest your minions." Cui Mao was controlled before, and they were afraid of your power and did not dare to leak secrets. Now that Ben Hou is in charge and Cui Mao has regained his freedom, do you guess whether they will confess? β
Cui Shenmo's body trembled violently, his head hung down, and the last trace of luck was shattered.
If it is a normal change of the head of the family, Cui Mao loses the support of the family and is ousted from power, then Ren Zhen has no reason to intervene, and he can't deal with Cui Shenmo.
However, Cui Shenmo coveted Cui Mao's property, and was afraid that Ren Zhen would rescue him and reveal the truth, so he could only instruct his subordinates to poison and extinguish his mouth, which was different. The charge of murder for money was confirmed, and Ren Zhen had every reason to intervene and bring Cui Shenmo to justice.
Ren Zhen turned his head, looked around at the audience, and said: "Now you can rest assured, Shang Jue Cui Mao will not die in a catastrophe and regain his life, even if the Cui family does not recognize him as the head of the family, he will take back his personal property, and he will help the court to alleviate the food crisis." β
Cui Mao, who was sitting next to him, nodded, proving that what Ren Zhen said was true.
He said in a hoarse voice: "When the national disaster is at hand, every backbone Tang person will not sit idly by. We merchants, even if we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, don't we even want to lend out food to support the imperial court? Waiting for the Jin army to capture the Qinghe, burn, kill and loot, so that you are satisfied? β
He slapped the table and said generously: "I don't care about other people's affairs, but I have done my own property." All the rice in my name was taken back from the Cui family and sold to the imperial court at a flat price, without making a penny! β
