Chapter 1067 Blackmail(1/2)
"Go back home?"
"I want to go back to my country!"
"I can guarantee that as long as I go back, I will never set foot in Daning again!"
Tao Lifu came to the spirit.
The two days and nights in Jinyiwei Yamen were a nightmare for him.
He thought he was strong and could face it calmly.
But the reality is that he didn't even survive the first torture.
In this place that specializes in treating people, Tao Lifu felt that he was still too naive.
He just wants to wake up from this nightmare and return to his own country...
But he felt that this was a luxury.
Since Daning dares to arrest them regardless of the impact, he probably won't let them go back...
"You are not considered businessmen, but craftsmen. You understand what I mean."
This Jin Yiwei was shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
"I……"
Tao Lifu naturally knew that if he really wanted to discuss it in detail, they were indeed a detailed effort to destroy the enemy's country.
"Our Jin Yiwei is responsible for this case now."
Tao Lifu is a businessman, so he naturally understands the implications of these words.
"You need..."
"You Wei merchants are very rich, right?"
The Jin Yiwei said: "According to Pei Jizhong's account, you gave him nearly one million taels in bribes."
Indeed it is.
They do have money.
How can you buy copper and iron at high prices without bringing money?
But I don’t have the money with me. Only I know where it is hidden.
They all have reservations.
This is also the reason why this Jin Yiwei is here.
Businessmen make huge profits.
They can be forced to betray the country under severe torture, but it is not easy to get them to hand over all their money and belongings.
The key is how many they have.
No one knows.
So use this method to cheat!
"Can you have the final say?"
Tao Lifu was already moved, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
The world is as black as crows.
"I can't make the decision, but the people above me can. We ask for money, and you ask for life. As long as you pay, we can find any reason to let you out. For example, if you can't bear the severe punishment and die in prison, every day here
People are dying, it’s easy to find someone to replace them.”
Tao Lifu believes this is true.
"How much does it cost to let me out?"
"Five hundred thousand taels!"
"Too much, I don't have that much."
"I'm sorry then."
"Your Majesty takes this matter very seriously. You are the mastermind, and we are taking a big risk by letting you go."
After he finished speaking, he turned around.
This allowed Tao Lifu to directly break through the defense and he would not miss the opportunity to leave this place.
"I don't have five hundred thousand taels, I have three hundred and seventy thousand taels. This is really all my money!"
Tao Lifu was busy talking.
"This is quite a lot, you should be satisfied..."
He spoke feebly, with endless sadness in his voice.
If the money is gone, you can still make it again.
If your life is gone, you are truly gone!
"Say the place and we'll go get it."
"Will you let me go?"
"You don't have to believe it if you let him go after seeing the money."
This Jin Yiwei has a cold attitude.
"I believe, I believe..."
Tao Lifu said: "In my residence, a hole was dug in the third beam from the north, and there were Daning banknotes inside. That is all my money..."
"good!"
Jin Yiwei turned around and left.
Tao Lifu fell into anxious waiting. Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, about two hours passed.
This Jin Yiwei returned.
"You are right, I have already received the money."
"Can you let me go?"
"However, it only costs 500,000 taels. The gap is too big, so it still won't work..."
"you……"
Tao Lifu stood up and said angrily: "That's all my money, I really don't have it anymore!"
"I also believe you don't, but the people above don't believe it, so I can't help it, but there is another way."
The Jin Yiwei said: "You can write a letter, and we will send someone to help you send you back to your country and have someone come and redeem you..."
"Aren't you kidding me? How is this possible?"
"Why is it impossible? The minister of Honglu Temple is about to visit Wei State and can help you bring it back."
"you……"
Hear this.
Tao Lifu understood immediately.
This was to defraud him of his money and make people in Wei spend money to redeem them.
This is simply...
"Write or not?"
"Don't write!"
Tao Lifu refused directly. He had been defrauded of all the money he had saved at the bottom of the box. How could he go along with it again?
"You really don't want to write it?"
"Don't write."
"That's not up to you."
"Come here, torture me!"
Immediately, two royal guards came in, and after a painful experience, a handwritten letter with blood stains was released.
It may not really be possible to get the ransom, but at least it can cause a blow to the Wei State.
The Jin Yiwei from before had a sneer on his lips.
Tao Lifu's money was defrauded.
Even if he gets enough, it is impossible to let him go. He is the vice president of the Hongchang Chamber of Commerce and the mastermind...
Most other Wei merchants also experienced this.
The money they saved was extorted.
To be continued...
