"promise."
Xiangli Ling had no choice but to hold an oil lamp and hand it over.
Chen Qing held the match rope with one hand and handed it to the lamp flame.
"I am in charge of the Leihuo Division, and I am the Shaofu."
The Vulcan burns rapidly, and the blue smoke fills the air.
Chen Qing's face was cold and indifferent.
He stood up slowly and aimed his gun at a dead soldier beside Zhuo Tianlu.
The other party was stunned, instinctively feeling the danger.
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped sideways to stand in front of his master.
boom!
The flames flickered away, and the smoke scattered.
Zhuo Tianlu's ears were buzzing, and suddenly he felt a heat on his face.
He slowly reached out and touched it.
Bright red blood slid down the fingertips, and there were even tiny blood foams that were slowly bursting.
The next moment, Zhuo Tianlu suddenly turned around.
The dead man who was standing beside him just now had already fallen to the ground, his chest, head and face were riddled with holes, his clothes were torn, and he could barely see his previous appearance.
The opponent's body twitched slightly, and he died immediately.
The sound of footsteps approaching.
Before Zhuo Tianlu could react, the cold gun muzzle with the smell of gunpowder was already on his forehead.
"Chen Shaofu, have mercy!"
Zhuo Tianlu's face was ashen, and his body was shaking like chaff.
Chen Qing didn't speak, and pointed down with his finger.
Zhuo Tianlu understood, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
Cheng Ji was so horrified that his soul trembled, and he couldn't stop backing away, ignoring the in-law relationship between Zhuo and Cheng.
"Aren't you going to discuss with this officer?"
"What can I say?"
Chen Qing gently moved the gun barrel and slid it between the opponent's eyebrows.
"Don't talk about it, the villain knows his mistake!"
"Young Master Chen, please raise your hand high, the villain will never dare to offend you again."
Zhuo Tianlu almost collapsed on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly.
"Oh……"
"There's no need to talk about it."
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
"I gave you a chance, you are useless."
Chen Qing showed a piercing smile, and looked up in Cheng Ji's direction.
"Chen Shaofu, if you act so arrogantly, you are not afraid..."
Cheng Ji swallowed dryly, thought for a while, and dared not say any threatening words.
"The Zhuo family is a big family in Shu after all, supporting tens of thousands of people."
"If you insult the Zhuo family like this, if it is reported back to Shu, the people's sentiments will be raging, and there will probably be troubles."
"If the imperial court punishes you, I'm afraid you will suffer too."
Cheng Ji said with a guilty conscience.
"Oh?"
"That's it."
Chen Qing sneered, and walked unhurriedly to the window.
He pushed open the window with the barrel of his gun, and suddenly yelled: "Shu Dizhuo and Cheng are trying to cause trouble, go and report to the authorities!"
"grown ups!"
Cheng Ji's face turned pale with fright: "Don't talk nonsense, I have absolutely no intention of waiting!"
Chen Qing didn't care so much, and continued to shout: "Shu Di Zhuo and Cheng two intend to cause chaos..."
Cheng Ji rushed over with a stride, and before he could get close, he knelt down on the ground, stepped forward on his knees and hugged his thigh.
"Young Master Chen, you have something to say."
"You can humiliate me as much as you want, please stop shouting!"
Chapter 134 You Obviously Can Go Directly to Snatch It, But You Gave Them An Iron Pot
Zhuo Tianlu looked anxious, and also scrambled to the ground and hugged Chen Qing's other leg.
"The three generations of the Zhuo family were loyal and good, and made great contributions to the great Qin smelting iron ware."
"Chen Shaofu, you can't do this!"
The two kowtowed like pounding garlic, crying and begging for mercy.
Seeing their snot and tears, as if the sky was about to fall, Chen Qing couldn't help but sneered: "That's it?"
"Who said just now that the people's sentiments are raging, and there will be troubles in Shu?"
Cheng Ji quickly raised his head and said, "No chaos, there will never be any chaos in Shu, otherwise the Cheng family will be the first to spare him."
Zhuo Tianlu nodded sharply: "Young Mansion Chen, we are loyal to Great Qin. If anyone dares to make trouble, you can just ask us."
"Please stop shouting."
"As long as this matter is uncovered, if you want gold and silver, we will follow you."
The two kept talking good things and looked at Chen Qing pitifully.
"Wouldn't it be better if it was earlier."
"let go."
Chen Qing thought the two were too sloppy with tears streaming down their faces, so he sternly reprimanded them.
Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji immediately let go of their hands, moved their knees and took half a step back.
Neither of them dared to stand up, and they knelt on the ground with sad expressions to wait for what to do.
Chen Qing returned to the case with the musket in his hand, and sat down cross-legged calmly.
The stewards of Zhuo and Cheng, who were sitting with them, jumped up like rabbits and knelt down on the ground tremblingly.
"The imperial court does not allow ironware to be privately owned, but it is lenient to you."
"Now it seems that it has fattened you two."
"Opening your mouth is a mountain of gold and silver. Over the years, the Zhuo family and the Cheng family have searched for a lot of people's fat, right?"
Chen Qing picked up the wine glass, Xiang Liling immediately picked up the jug and filled him a glass.
She looked sideways at the other party's tough profile, and the more she looked at it, the happier she felt.
The Zhuo family and the Cheng family in the Shu region are both wealthy and powerful families, and they do not admire three points.
But in front of Chen Qing, he was as fearful and respectful as a mouse meeting a cat.
He really is extraordinary!
"Chen Shaofu Mingjian, we are all honest and responsible businessmen, and we have never done anything to deceive or harm the people."
"The Cheng family has never earned a dime from the people of Daqin, and it is impossible to search for the people's fat and anointing. Please Chen Shaofu to investigate clearly."
Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji shouted their grievances with bitter faces, which made Chen Qing couldn't help laughing.
"Since ancient times, there has been no evil or business."
"If you don't do it for money, you can't be selfless and serve the people, right?"
Cheng Ji bowed and said: "Young Master Chen doesn't know something. The imperial court has a heavy iron tax. Forty percent of the ironware we smelt will have to pay the tax. Adding in material expenses and hiring manpower, there is no money to be made!"
Zhuo Tianlu also echoed: "Yes! The folks only know that iron is expensive, but they don't know how much tax we have to bear. If we only rely on the sales in Daqin, the Shu subway merchants may have lost their fortunes long ago!"
Chen Qing cheered up: "It turns out that you are still smuggling ironware!"
"..."
Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji were stunned, regretful in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qing's reaction was so quick, and he explained the key points in one sentence.
"Who did you sell all the ironware to?"
Chen Qing asked enthusiastically.
Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji lowered their heads, neither of them spoke.
There is no doubt that selling ironware is a felony, even with a sword around their necks, they will not admit it.
"Three generations of the Zhuo family have smelted iron, and the Cheng family has been in business for nearly 20 years."
"I'm afraid you have sold [-] or [-] pieces of ironware privately over the years."
"If it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, I'm afraid the Great Qin Dynasty will be in danger!"
Chen Qing rushed to the window in two steps, opening his mouth to shout.
"Young Master Chen, please spare me!"
"We have never sold a single weapon, let alone do anything that would endanger Daqin."
"Don't shout."
"We say everything."
Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji had tears in their eyes, speechless.
"Don't eat a toast and eat a fine drink."
Chen Qing cursed, and went back to sit down again.
"Tell me, who did you sell the ironware to?"
"How did you sell it?"
"If there is something to deceive, you can think about the consequences."
Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji knelt on the ground dejectedly and exchanged glances with each other.
In the end, it was Cheng Ji who bit the bullet and said, "There are many mountains in Shu, and there are many stubborn Yi people living in the mountains. Few people set foot in such dangerous places, and they are rich in precious medicinal materials."
"The villain... exchanged iron pots, iron nails and other items for the fur and medicinal materials of the barbarians."
"Both sides take what they need, and the villain can also make a profit from it to subsidize the family."
Chen Qing was directly amused.
"I heard that the Cheng family has eight hundred servants and thousands of guards."
"You are subsidizing the family, not just for profit!"
"I don't know how the iron and mountain goods were exchanged?"
Cheng Ji hesitated for a long time, and said in a very small voice: "The villain does business without deceit, it is fair and just. The barbarian people live in the deep mountains, and the iron tools have to be transported over mountains and mountains, and the loss is huge."
"And there are so many wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains that there are too many to count."
"The barbarians took some furs and herbs that they didn't need..."
Chen Qing interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, okay, just say a piece of tiger skin, how much iron can you exchange?"
