Be a master through ancient times

Chu Ci's malicious smile put a lot of pressure on Master Du. Under this pressure, his mind was running fast, and he finally remembered Chu Ci's identity.

"I remembered, you are that Mr. Kou!" Master Du panicked, and the fear he suppressed just came back to his heart, "So you came to test me on purpose that night?"

"Exactly, the imperial court heard that you set up a brothel to raise money, so they sent me to investigate secretly. Now that I have got the evidence, you still don't do it? If you can cooperate with us, what about rolling nails and pulling skins?" Punishments such as whips can be avoided." Chu Ci followed his words nonsense, causing Master Fan to look at the legendary Zhuangyuan Lang who was graceful and gentle as jade with strange eyes.

Chu Ci originally thought that if Master Du refused to cooperate during the questioning, he would use some tricks to scare him.Unexpectedly, this man was as cowardly as a mouse, Chu Ci only casually said what he had committed and the imminent punishment, and he explained everything like falling beans.

It turned out that this man was named Du Qi, a native of Zhoushan Prefecture in Southern Fujian Province, and he was fifty-two this year.He used to be a merchant, and he often ran around with goods. The thugs on the ship were the brothers who helped him secure the goods.

Three years ago, he took over a big business. If the business succeeds, he won't have to worry about it for the rest of his life.Du Qi was confused by the benefits he imagined at his fingertips. He returned home and mortgaged the house. He managed to scrape together a large sum of money and shipped a ship of goods to sea.

But who knows, the boat encountered a storm on the way and was turned upside down.A boat of people was flopping about in the water like dumplings, and it was about to die.At this critical juncture, several cargo ships came over.The draft of this boat is very deep, and every two boats are connected by iron chains, even if the wind and waves are strong, they can't help them.

It was only after Du Qi and others were out of danger that they realized what had happened.The ship that poured all their efforts into it has sunk to the bottom of the sea with its full cargo, which means that not only have they lost their fortunes, but they may also be sued by their business partners and sent to the Yamen to go to jail.

At that time, Du Qi wanted to jump back into the sea and finish it all. It would be better to die like this than to live in pain for the rest of his life.

When he was discouraged and almost wanted to die, the owner of the ship came out.After learning about his situation, the owner expressed deep sympathy and immediately offered to lend him money to repay the debt.Du Qi didn't expect that if he survived a catastrophe, he would have future blessings. He was very grateful, knelt down with a plop and kowtowed three times to Du Qi, bluntly saying that he would be his reborn parents in the future.

Du Qi took the bank note, and originally wanted to ask his business partner to give him a few days of grace, so that he could have a chance to replenish the goods, but when the man heard that he was in trouble, he changed his face on the spot.The man took out the contract they signed when they were discussing business, which stated that if the goods could not be delivered within the time limit, they would be required to pay double the payment for compensation, and vice versa.This business partner didn't make things worse, and he didn't need to pay double compensation, just pay him the payment for the goods and the deposit given at that time.

When Du Qi signed the contract, he never thought that he would be so unlucky. Now that the matter has come to this point, he has no other choice but to admit that he is unlucky.

Seeing that there was no other way out, the owner of the boat appeared again. Seeing that Du Qi was really pitiful, he gave him a job and asked him to work to pay off the debt.And this job is the flower boat...

Chu Ci listened to him recalling the past, rambling on so much, he didn't understand at first, but finally understood.

"Are you trying to say that you are not in charge of this flower boat, and someone else is in charge of it?"

Master Du agreed: "Yes, my lord is wise! I am a shopkeeper, and the money I have earned over the years has not entered my hands, so please let me go!"

"Wait," Chu Ci questioned, "How can we be sure that this is not an excuse you came up with to get rid of the crime? After all, according to what you said, the captain of the ship is your great benefactor. Come out? Besides, you betrayed your promise and never repaid your kindness. It is difficult for us to trust you with such a character."

Master Du's complexion changed, and he spat on the ground: "What kind of benefactor? I am grateful to him and help him take care of the business conscientiously, but what did he do to me? Before I went to sea last time, I wanted to talk to him, Who knew that I would just hear the truth!"

"the truth?"

"Yes, it turned out that the person who did business with me at the beginning belonged to him, and it was no accident that he was able to save me at sea that night! In his original plan, he was going to pretend to be a water bandit and ransack me, and then Help!"

Chu Ci was dumbfounded after hearing this, it is amazing that there is such a thing!No wonder Master Du confessed him without any struggle.

"Then who is the owner of the ship? As long as you assist the government in arresting him, we can give you a lighter sentence."

"You keep what you say?" Master Du's eyes lit up, looking at Chu Ci expectantly.Then he came back to his senses and said: "You are just an ordinary citizen, at best you are a teacher, how can you give me a light sentence! I will not believe it unless the old man next to you tells me!"

Lord Fan's face was dark, he had never seen such a bold prisoner before, if it wasn't for the fact that this ship might be related to the water bandits, he wouldn't bother to intervene.Just as he was about to speak, the door of the prison was suddenly opened, and County Magistrate Wu hurried over with an ugly expression on his face.

"Why didn't the two interrogators call the judge together?! Speaking of which, I'm the parent officer of Luotan County. In addition, this case happened within the scope of my jurisdiction. How can I ask you to interrogate me personally? !"

The atmosphere in the field changed instantly, and the flames of war were on the verge of igniting. Chu Ci sighed in his heart, and he was about to ask something, but he was called at this time, alas, what a bad luck.
