Chapter 219: The Merchant of Venice's Son 2

Liu Hiiragi walked up to Sherlock and reassured Sherlock: "Don't worry, father, I have a way to deal with it." ”

After saying that, he smiled at the lawyer and said, "I have a way to cut off a pound of Mr. Antonio's flesh without letting him bleed a drop." ”

The lawyer stared at Liu Hiiragi up and down, not believing Liu Hiiragi's words.

Lawyer: "You've got to think about it. If you shed a single drop of Antonio's blood, you would lose your life, or your father would lose all his possessions. ”

Liu Hiiragi: "I'm sure. ”

His confident appearance made everyone wonder what the hell was going on.

Liu Hiiragi: "Let me show you first. ”

When he had finished speaking, he called his servant by name.

A young servant walked to the courtroom and laid down what he was holding. 、

The crowd was amazed to see that there were two live chickens in it.

Liu Hiiragi smiled and said to everyone: "I'll cut the meat from the live chicken now, let's see if I will let the live chicken leave an extra drop of blood." ”

As he spoke, he poured a powder into a bucket full of water and threw a live chicken into the bucket.

White smoke came out of the bucket, and it began to freeze, and the live chickens were frozen in the bucket.

When the live chicken is completely frozen, Liu Hiiragi brings it out of the bucket.

The whole body of the live chicken was frozen, but it was still alive.

Liu Hiiragi picked up the knife and cut it on the chicken, cutting off a piece of meat.

The chicken blood had been frozen, so it did not come out with the knife wound.

Liu Hiiragi smiled and said to everyone: "Look, if you cut the flesh like this, you won't bleed." ”

Everyone in the courtroom turned pale.

Antonio shivered, he was like a frozen chicken, and he felt that he would not live long.

Liu Hiiragi: "I have a second method. ”

As he spoke, he lit ten candles and then put the knife on the fire to roast it.

When the blades of the knives were all red, Liu Hiiragi quickly stabbed a live chicken on the two outside.

The hot blade of the knife directly solidified the blood from the wound, and there was no blood dripping.

Liu Hiiragi smiled at Antonio and the lawyer and said, "How?" Which way do you choose? ”

Antonio's face turned pale and faltered.

The lawyer was no better, although she was smart, she was just a pampered eldest lady, she had never seen such a bloody scene, and she was completely frightened.

"Y-You're a demon!" The lawyer shouted.

Liu Hiiragi: "No, I'm just handling the problem the way you do, Mr. Lawyer." Oh, by the way, you can't be called sir, you should be called miss. ”

Liu Hiiragi: "I have a doubt, please ask Mr. Judge to explain it to me." Why is it, oh, no, two women who can pretend to be men and run to the courtroom to show off their might? Is there any justice in this court? ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

In Europe in this era, the status of women is high, and some young ladies from powerful families still inherit human rights or something.

But in fact, men are still inferior to women, and women will not be allowed to participate in some important political venues.

The lawyer, that is, Ms. Baucia, had to dress up as a man in order to defend Antonio.

Baucia was exposed by Liu Hiiragi, and her face was extremely ugly.

Disguised as a clerk, Bowcia's maid, Nerissa, was completely panicked and frightened.

Liu Hiiragi spoke: "It is only right to borrow money to repay debts." Miss Baucia, what is your idea when you chase after my father and do not let Antonio change money? Don't you want people to know that Antonio borrowed money from my father to pursue you for his friend Bassanio? ”

"It stands to reason that you're so rich. It is completely possible to take out 3,000 gold coins to help Antonio pay back the money before Antonio's arrears are due, and then pay you back when Antonio's merchant ship arrives. But you didn't do that, and Antonio was sued by my father in court and forced to cut his flesh, why is that? ”

"Is it because you don't actually like the object of your choice, Bassanio, but you have to choose him, so you have a grudge against Bassanio, who has a grudge against Bassanio for money, so you want to use my father's affairs to deal with Antonio? Or did you set your sights on my father's fortune and set such a trap for him? Is your choice of husband just a part of the conspiracy? ”

"Miss Baucia, your family is very wealthy, but as far as I know, there was not so much property in the family while your father was still alive. Could it be that the current great fortune is obtained by such a conspiracy? ”

“……”

One accusation after another was thrown at Baucia.

The others in the courtroom thought about it according to Liu Hiiragi's words......

They looked at Baucia with more and more strange eyes, with fear and disgust in them.

Even Antonio began to suspect Baucia, and looked at his friend Bassanio worriedly.

Bassanio did not suspect Baucia and trusted his lover wholeheartedly.

Baucia was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

"Slander, you are blatant slander." Baucia shouted.

Liu Hiiragi asked lightly: "Then may I ask Miss Boxia, why don't you pay for your lover's friend to exchange money in the morning." Still bent on seeking my father's fortune? ”

Baucia: "......"

In fact, Baucia just wanted to get the property for her lover's friend, not for herself.

But if you say it now, others won't believe it, and will only think that she is a sinister woman who has really been calculating Sherlock's fortune for a long time.

When this word spread, not only the Jewish merchants, but also the merchants of other countries, they might not be afraid of her calculations again, and would not come to Venice again.

When the economy of Venice declined, she became a sinner in Venice.

The Duke of Venice and the local nobles could not spare her, but they were afraid that they would attack her family wealth.

She is a weak woman, how can she keep her family wealth surrounded by wolves?

I'm afraid I won't even be able to protect myself.

"You ......" Baucia glared at Liu Hiiragi angrily, hating to bite Liu Hiiragi to death.

Liu Hiiragi said lightly: "It's you who are too aggressive, I have to fight back." If you accept it when you see it, let my father get back the capital, instead of returning my family's wealth, I will not expose your identity. All of this is your own doing. ”

In fact, as long as Ms. Baucia is not so aggressive, and stops in moderation, and lets Sherlock get his capital back, Liu Hiiragi will not come forward.

In his previous life, he watched "The Merchant of Venice" and really admired this intelligent woman.

But unfortunately, in this life, he is the son of Sherlock, and he naturally stands on the opposite side of Baucia.

And he knew that his father was not the ruthless usurer in the play, and that it was nothing more than someone else's slander against Sherlock.

Liu Hiiragi naturally wants to help his father.
