Chapter 17(1/2)
Han Chong's words indeed successfully ignited the anger of Han Yi and many elders.
Han Shou first stood up and accused Han Tao: "Cheng'er is right. No matter whether the competition wins or loses, it is a competition between his own people, but how can you act so despicable?!"
"Not to mention that the brocade robe you destroyed is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, it will be a huge loss to the family. Just because of this character and style of work, you are not worthy of taking charge of the family's cause!"
Several other elders also followed and accused Han Tao.
"Yes, Tao'er, we'll tolerate you just messing around. This time it's too much."
"If you are asked to take charge of the family business, then the Han family will be finished!"
Everyone talked about Han Tao, as if he had already determined that he was the culprit of setting fire to Han Chong's goods.
Han Yi's face also became extremely ugly, and he taught Han Tao a lesson with a little sadness.
"Tao'er, the filial piety and literary talent you showed yesterday, and the arithmetic ability later, really made me shine."
"I thought you were really relieved for your parents if you were devoted to changing faces and changed your past."
"But unexpectedly, just one day later, you did such a behavior, which is really shameful."
"With a descendant like you, I am afraid that my brother who has passed away for many years will find it difficult to calm down in the nine springs!"
But Han Tao seemed to be careless, just stood there calmly, without saying a word, quietly looking at the elders in front of him, letting them teach him a lesson.
"Uncle, Han Tao is naughty by nature and has a low character. I think he not only cannot take charge of the property of my Han family, but he is not even worthy of staying in the Han family."
"According to the clan rules, he should be expelled from the family so that he should not continue to do anything wrong and ruin the reputation of my Han family."
Seeing that the emotions of the elders had been aroused, Han Lu immediately proposed to Han Yi to drive Han Tao out of the house.
When Han Yi heard this, he frowned slightly and hesitated.
Even if Han Tao made a big mistake, he was a descendant of the Han family after all.
Besides, Han Gu had just passed away and was still in the mourning period. It would be too unreasonable to drive his only son out of the house at this time.
Seeing Han Yi's hesitation, Han Chong immediately stepped forward and walked to his side, deliberately trying to persuade him with a tolerant look.
"Uncle Tai, my cousin did this to win the game."
"In his original intention was to take charge of the family business and to expand the Han family, it would be better to be gentle."
"It's better to arrange a house for him to provide him with daily expenses, so that he can think about his mistakes behind closed doors and reform himself. What do you think?"
Han Chong said a few words that he had not only become a good person, but also exiled Han Tao from the Han family without any trace.
"I think this proposal is OK. After all, it's not okay to punish if you make a big mistake!" Han Lu immediately expressed his agreement.
Han Shou and others also nodded, obviously thinking that this proposal was very good.
Han Yi's face was slower as he thought about it, and he muttered: "This is also a solution..."
Han Tao watched Han Chong and his son perform in a sing and harmonious manner, and then looked at Han Yi and other elders, and smiled coldly.
"All elders, I've determined that this arson was done by Han Tao, right?"
"Who else can you do? Only you can do such a thing!" Han Lu pointed at Han Tao and responded sternly.
"Where is the evidence? You can't just rely on your guesses to determine that I did this, right?" Han Tao asked calmly.
"Yes, no evidence, why do you say that this was done by my boss?"
Ma Yuan, who was hiding beside him, dared not speak, finally found the breath of speaking and whispered.
The young man Han Fu responded timidly at this time: "Dear masters, when we were putting out the fire, we found something at the scene. I wonder if it can be counted as evidence?"
"Take it out quickly." Han Lu hurriedly urged.
Han Fu took out an exquisite jade pendant and respectfully sent it to Han Yi.
Han Yi reached out to take it, but his face changed drastically.
Han Tao was slightly surprised when he saw this jade pendant: each of the Han family held a piece of jade pendant, and each piece of jade had a name engraved on it, which was a token of confirmation of identity.
The name of the jade pendant that Han Yi is holding is engraved on the position of the name of the jade pendant, which is clearly the jade pendant that represents his identity.
"Han Tao, look at this jade pendant yourself. It's so proof that you can deny it!"
Han Yi finally stopped suppressing his anger and scolded him loudly.
"You unfilial descendant, kneel down!"
"I won't kneel!" Han Tao responded proudly.
"Han Tao, you are bold! It's a big rebellion to burn your own goods, which makes Chong'er break his promise first. Now he dares to contradict his uncle.
"It seems that we must punish you according to the clan rules."
While Han Lu scolded Han Tao, he began to incite Han Yi and other elders.
"I contradicted my uncle because he wrongly accused me of the arson prisoner, and I was dissatisfied!"
"I was lost when I was arrested and imprisoned in the county jail. I had no idea why he appeared in Han Fu's hands!" Han Tao defended.
Han Tao was extremely impressed by Han Chong's mind at this time. This was really a terrible opponent.
In order to gain the power to take charge of the family business, such a big situation was laid out in advance.
In order to drive himself out of the Han family and eliminate future troubles, he even set fire to the goods to frame him on his own under the premise of his own steady victory.
The most unexpected thing is that he even bribed the government in advance and obtained his lost jade pendant as evidence here.
This series of actions takes every detail into consideration and even puts it to death. I have to say that he is really clever.
If Han Chong was facing the ignorant playboy Han Tao, even if he had a hundred heads, he would not be able to plot against Han Chong, and he would definitely be stepped to the bottom and would be doomed.
"If you say you lose it, you will lose it. I think it is clear that you are looking for a fire and are lost in the warehouse when you flee in a hurry. Unless you have evidence to prove that your jade pendant was lost in the county government." Han Lu asked Han Tao loudly.
"I have no evidence!" Han Tao responded bluntly. Since the other party was deliberately slandering, how could he have evidence to clarify it?
"But, since you want to use this jade pendant as evidence, it means that you believe that this fire must have been released by me personally!"
"Otherwise, no matter how stupid or stupid I am, I will never be able to hand over the jade pendant to the person who arranged the ignition, and then deliberately lose it in the warehouse, for fear that you don't know that it was the fire I lit it?"
Han Yi and others nodded slightly after hearing Han Tao's words. These words were right. No one was so stupid that they deliberately gave their tokens to others to prove that they had problems.
"Han Fu, I'll ask you, when did the warehouse catch fire?" Han Tao turned to Han Fu and asked.
"One hour ago." Han Fu hurriedly answered.
"Now it is about to reach You hour, in other words, the fire is at the end of Wei hour and the beginning of Shen hour."
"If I had evidence to prove that I could not have appeared in the warehouse at that time, would it be possible that I could have proved that the fire was not released?"
Han Tao asked Han Yi and others.
"How can you prove it?" Han Yi asked Han Tao.
"I can prove it for him!" A man's voice suddenly came outside the store.
Everyone turned their heads in confusion and looked at the store. A middle-aged man in luxury clothes walked into the door of the store accompanied by several followers.
Han Yi and others changed their faces when they saw this man. The man's surname was Mu, his name was Tong, and his courtesy name was Shoheng. He was also a wealthy businessman in Shanyang County.
It can be said that he is the biggest competitor of the Han family, and the two families rarely interact with each other.
No one expected that at this time, he would appear and say something to prove it for Han Tao.
Mu Tong walked up to Han Tao and said with a smile: "I raised money. I'm a little late. Why did you become arsonist, brother?"
When Han Yi and others were even more surprised to hear that Mu Tong actually called Han Tao as their brother, Han Yi and others were even more surprised. They didn't know when they got into friendship.
Han Tao responded to Mu Tong with an innocent look: "Maybe someone doesn't want me to win today's competition, so he framed me, right?"
The other party had already put the knife on his neck, so Han Tao naturally would not be timid anymore and pointed out that he was being framed.
"Okay, I don't want to ask more about my family affairs. I'd better complete the deal you and I agreed upon first."
Mu Tong turned around and pointed at the entourage carrying the box behind him: "One hundred brocade robes, each one will be bought twice your original price. Please count the payment for the goods."
Mu Tong's follower immediately put down the box, then opened the lid of the box, which contained neatly arranged currency.
Mu Tong's words surprised all the elders of the Han family present.
None of them expected that Mu Tong would pay for all the brocade robes in Han Tao's hands, and at a double price. Why is this?
"Brother Mu is so friends, so I don't need to count them. There is definitely no problem."
Han Tao thanked Mu Tong with a smile, then pointed to the brocade robe hanging in the store and said to Mu Tong, "Then please check the goods, brother."
But Mu Tong smiled and waved his hand: "No need, I can trust me, and I can trust me too. Put it in the box quickly and I will take it away."
Han Tao hurriedly ordered Yu'er, who was standing aside in a daze, "Yu'er, have you heard that, hurry up and arrange someone to pack the brocade robe."
Yu'er then realized and hurriedly called the guy to take action.
Then Mu Tong turned around slowly and saluted Han Yi respectfully: "Mu Tong has met Mrs. Han."
Although the two parties are in a competitive relationship, the other party is a customer when shopping, and they treat each other with courtesy first.
Han Yi could not lose his manners, so he hurriedly stood up and returned the gift: "Suhengjun is too polite, I dare not take this great gift."
"Just just arrived outside the door, I heard the old lady questioning Han Tao, and Tong dared to give him a verbal testimony."
