Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 435 Extortion
Zhao Zhilong opened his eyes, and immediately saw the corpses of those Jianghu masters who had been beheaded by Dongchang Fanzi, he knew that those people must have fought back and were beheaded.

Things have come to such a point, the charge of resisting the imperial edict and disrespecting and plotting rebellion has been confirmed, and Zhao Zhilong knows that there is no room for him to return.

Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, dogs jump over walls when they are in a hurry, and Zhao Zhilong will try his best to escape when he is in a hurry.

He rolled several times on the spot, leaving Cao Zhengchun more than ten meters away in an instant, then stood up and pressed on the wall next to him, and a secret door immediately appeared beside him.

Zhao Zhilong stepped into the hidden door, and at the same time, an iron gate fell down instantly, separating Zhao Zhilong from the Dongchang fans outside.

After feeling that he was temporarily safe, Zhao Zhilong immediately ordered the servants:
"Hurry up, kill these court eagle dogs, and don't let any one go. After the matter is completed, each person will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. We will hide in the mountains and establish ourselves as kings."

The servants in the late Ming Dynasty were stronger than ordinary soldiers. They were all thugs trained by the master with a lot of money. As long as the master gave an order, they were absolutely loyal.

The family members saw that there were more than 100 people on their side, and there were only more than 30 people in Dongchang Fanzi, and they immediately felt full of confidence.

More than 100 men drew out their weapons in an instant and confronted the Dongchang Fanzi. The Dongchang Fanzi didn't want to confront them.

These servants are okay against ordinary soldiers, but compared with the masters of Dongchang, they are completely incomparable. After being hacked and killed by Dongchang's fan, most of them quickly fell down.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhao Zhilong turned around and ran away.

"bang"

Suddenly bumped into a person, this person was like a wall, immediately bounced Zhao Zhilong more than one meter away.

"who?"

This frightened Zhao Zhilong quite a bit, he was the only one who knew the secret passage, how could someone sneak into the secret passage ahead of time?Rubbing his eyes and taking a closer look, it turned out to be Cao Zhengchun, and Zhao Zhilong's soul was almost frightened away.

"How is it possible, chief eunuch, how did you come in?"

Cao Zhengchun laughed wickedly:
"Hahaha, our family came in with you just now, how did you find out that you have disappointed our family so much, you ran away by yourself, what should your family do?"

Standing behind him was Cao Zhengchun, Governor of the East Factory. What happened was so weird, how could Zhao Zhilong not be afraid.

In fact, it was because he didn't understand Cao Zhengchun. With Zhao Zhilong's body skills, he couldn't be faster than Cao Zhengchun no matter what.

When the secret door appeared, Cao Zhengchun guessed what Zhao Zhilong wanted to do, he entered the secret door first, leaving only an afterimage, Zhao Zhilong panicked and didn't care at all.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Zhao Zhilong knelt down to Cao Zhengchun again:

"Eunuch Cao, I beg you, as long as you let me go, all the silver in my secret room will be yours, which is worth several million taels."

Cao Zhengchun chuckled:
"Thank you for telling me where the silver is. Our family will go get it by ourselves, so you don't have to worry about it..."

"Whoosh..."

Before Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, Zhao Zhilong suddenly shook his hand, and countless cold lights attacked Cao Zhengchun, but with a wave of Cao Zhengchun's sleeve, all the hidden weapons were swept into his sleeve in an instant.

"Good boy, you dare to play tricks on our family. Do you have any hidden weapons? Continue!"

Zhao Zhilong was also a military commander, in a hurry he pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed Cao Zhengchun's chest. Cao Zhengchun sent the sword flying with a light punch, and then sent Zhao Zhilong flying more than ten meters away with another punch, and hit the wall of the tunnel heavily.

"Boom..."

With a loud noise, Zhao Zhilong's body stayed on the wall for a while, then slipped softly to the ground, opened his mouth to spit out a big mouthful of blood, and couldn't make any more struggles.

Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly, grabbed the half-dead Zhao Zhilong and walked to the secret door, stretched out his hand and pressed on a slightly raised spot, and the iron gate slowly opened.

When they came out, the battle outside was over, no one was injured in the Dongchang Fanzi, and the servants in the Xinchengbo Mansion were all decapitated, leaving only Xu Jiujue sitting on the ground trembling.

Seeing with his own eyes that the Dongchang fanzi killed those Jianghu masters and Zhao family servants effortlessly, while Xu Jiujue was shocked, he was also secretly grateful for the wise move of Wei Guogong's abandoning resistance.

Otherwise, the Xu Mansion will be bloodbathed by the Dongchang fans just like the current Xinchengbo Mansion.

If you don't resist and submit obediently, at most you will be exiled and your family members will be reduced to common people, but they still have some family property, and life is not a problem.

"Come here, search the Zhao family's secret room, and search all the property."

"Yes"

Just when Xu Jiujue was secretly rejoicing, Cao Zhengchun issued an order to raid the house, and the Dongchang fanzi became busy again, and they almost turned Zhao's mansion upside down.

Soon, the head of the Dongchang stall came to report:
"Master, I found two secret rooms, and there are about 500 million worth of gold, silver and jewelry."

"Oh, Zhao Zhilong didn't hide it from our family this time. Sure enough, there are so many gold and silver, all of them were loaded into cars and brought back to the capital."

"Yes"

When the leader ordered him to leave, Cao Zhengchun suddenly looked at Xu Jiujue, and asked with a smile on his face:

"Wei Guogong, our family has a question for you. Uncle Xin Cheng has more than 500 million taels of silver. You should not be poorer than his Zhao family. If Wei Guogong can be more generous, our family will not tell the emperor about Xu Hu's insult to the imperial decree. what do you think?"

"Blackmail, standard blackmail."

This sentence was the one Xu Jiujue wanted to say the most at this moment, but seeing the corpses everywhere in the Zhao residence, how dare he say it.

The Xu family is rich, but because their father and son are not good at management, and Xu Hu is a prodigal son, he has not reached the wealth of Xin Chengbo. It is estimated that the gold and silver will not exceed 400 million taels.

"To tell you the truth, the governor, the ancestral property has been confiscated by you, and the cash will not exceed 350 million. As long as the governor is willing to help the Xu family, I am willing to give out 300 million taels."

Cao Zhengchun chuckled:
"My father-in-law is not as rich as my uncle? My family doesn't believe this, 350 million taels is a must, otherwise, just wait for the whole family to be copied and killed. Come, let Wei Guogong go back to raise money."

After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately five Dongchang fans came over to pull Wei Guogong Xu Jiujue:

"Wei Guogong, let's go."

This time Xu Jiujue didn't say anything, Xu Hu's behavior was enough to make his Xu family exterminate, as long as Cao Zhengchun's word counts, Xu Jiujue is willing to give all his family property in exchange for the safety of the family.

Three days later, Cao Zhengchun pressed the whole family of Zhao Zhilong and Xu Jiujue, and there were more than 20 carts of gold, silver and jewelry to return to the capital.

In order to ensure the safety of the huge amount of gold and silver, Yuhuatian and Xia Wanchun sent three hundred fully armed guards to Cao Zhengchun, and the group embarked on the road back to Beijing.

After the events of Xin Chengbo and Wei Guogong, the exchange of dragon coins in various places in Ming Dynasty went very smoothly without any resistance or obstruction. Dragon coins will soon become the largest currency in circulation in the world

No matter who you are, as long as you want to do business in Daming Tongshang, you must pay with Daming Dragon Coins, and many foreigners have started to exchange them.

Foreigners have a very low handling fee for exchanging dragon coins. Although the handling fee is very low, the pure silver content of dragon coins is only 90%, which is a huge income for Daming Bank.
