Chapter 467 Revealing the Truth of That Year
Although Chen Shou and Chen Shao were extremely dissatisfied, they were unable to refute at this moment.
Because although this person's words were very impolite, they were not wrong.
Langhuan Island was not a pirate den from the beginning. It was the Cheng'en Mansion that secretly spent money and used connections to send some prisoners and even fugitives to the island.
Then he got women, food and tools for these people, and gradually developed Langhuan Island into what it is today.
If not, the people on the island would not have agreed to Chen Shao becoming the island owner at such a young age.
They were rescued by the Chen family and were raised by the Chen family at their expense, so naturally they would feel grateful and be willing to give the Chen family some face.
It was not until they started the pirate business and made more and more money that their ambitions grew.
If the Cheng'en Mansion did not fall, they would naturally be willing to serve as dogs for the Chen family.
However, the Cheng'en Mansion no longer exists, and the court is still looking for the remnants of the Chen family.
They did not pack up and hand over all the Chen family members on the island, which was already considered as repaying the Chen family's kindness.
Chen Shao wants to keep riding on their heads forever, which is simply wishful thinking!
It would be fine if he could find strong foreign aid and let them continue to reap the benefits.
But his backers are all dead, and now he himself has become a toothless sick tiger. Why should he expect them to continue to obey him?
Chen Shao did support them, but they also did a lot for Chen Shao, and they had already paid him back!
A dark-faced man with a full beard said directly: "Chen Shao, for the sake of our brotherhood, we can give you a favor.
If you tell us all the secrets you know, we won't make things difficult for you. But if you disregard our brotherhood and insist on drinking a toast and then refuse to drink, then don't blame us for being ungrateful!
Chen Shao sneered: "What kind of punishment do you want me to drink?"
"Bring it in!"
As soon as the big man finished speaking, Mrs. Cao and Chen Qian were brought in.
Chen Qian was only six years old. When he saw Chen Shao, he angrily complained: "Father! They dared to disrespect me and my mother. Kill them!"
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked hard from behind and fell to the ground!
"Ah—" Chen Qian screamed, raised his head from the ground, and looked at Chen Shao in horror, "Father, save me!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, blood flowed out, and there were two broken front teeth.
When he was kicked to the ground, his jaw hit the ground so hard that two of his teeth broke on the spot and blood gushed out!
"Qian'er!"
Mrs. Cao screamed and tried to move forward, but someone grabbed her arms tightly and she couldn't take a single step forward.
The dark-faced man looked at Madam Cao's appearance and figure presumptuously, and said with a half-smile: "The island master has been very lucky in recent years. With such a beauty by his side, he doesn't even let the brothers take a few more glances."
Chen Shao's face turned ugly, and he said angrily: "My wife's father is Master Cao of Qingyun Academy, and her uncle is the Minister of Personnel. If you don't want to die, you'd better be polite to her!"
As soon as he said this, the conference room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Chen Shao couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth in satisfaction. He swept his eyes over everyone's faces one by one, admiring the way their expressions changed.
Do these people really think that he is unprepared and can only be slaughtered?
Chen Shao also did not forget to comfort Mrs. Cao: "Madam, don't worry, they dare not touch you."
Madam Cao frowned and looked at him worriedly: "Then you..."
"As long as my wife is fine, I will be fine."
Chen Shao comforted her and then said to the others, "I have already arranged for someone in Gusu. If anything happens to my wife and I, that person will send the news here to the Cao family and make it known to the whole city.
By then, none of you will be able to escape! Even for the sake of face, the Cao family will send the imperial army to wipe you out!
I know that you are dissatisfied with me, and you are also worried that the imperial court will trace Chen Shou to Langhuan Island.
But the imperial court is unaware of my existence. As long as Chen Shou's body is handed over, Langhuan Island will be safe.
And with the support of the Cao family, everyone can still do business in the future.
As long as you agree, I can swear an oath and promise to forgive this incident forever!"
Everyone was silent, looking at Chen Shao with complicated eyes.
Only Chen Shou's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "What did you say? I'm your biological brother, and you actually want to hand me over!"
"At this moment, Big Brother is still so selfish and unwilling to consider the overall situation?"
Chen Shao glared at Chen Shou in dissatisfaction, "If you weren't so presumptuous, why would the court pursue you so relentlessly?
Now that you have come to Langhuan Island to hide, I took you in out of kindness, but you have brought me to this point!
I have done my best for you, brother. You can't blame me. It was the court that wanted you dead, not me!"
Chen Shou's eyes suddenly turned red with anger, and his aura became more and more seductive, making many people present feel hot all over.
"Clap clap clap!"
The dark-faced man suddenly clapped his hands, startling Chen Shou and Chen Shao so much that they looked over.
The two of them looked alert at the moment and didn't care about fighting among themselves anymore.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The dark-faced man laughed mockingly, "This is truly a great show of brothers fighting against each other. But have you all forgotten that Langhuan Island has now encountered a mysterious and powerful enemy?
Since the other party specifically left those words, how could the island owner think that the matter would be settled as long as Chen Shou's body was handed over? "
Chen Shao's face changed drastically. "You want to kill me? Or do you want to kill my wife too? Don't forget, I have deployed troops in Gusu! If you kill us, do you think the Cao family and the court will let you go?"
"Then we'll have to see how hard the island owner is to keep his mouth shut. As long as we pry open the island owner's mouth and find that person, won't everything be fine?"
The dark-faced man was full of sarcasm, "Besides, how can the island owner still have the nerve to mention Madam Cao?
Back then, you were attracted by Madam Cao's beauty, talent and family background, so you designed for her fiancé to drown and then had Madam Cao kidnapped. You played the hero who saved the beauty and forced Madam Cao to give herself to you.
You killed Madam Cao's fiancé, causing her to be separated from him in death, and then sent people to kidnap Madam Cao, causing her to lose her innocence and be separated from her parents.
Now that you are on the verge of death, you still refuse to tell those secrets and protect Madam Cao and her child.
Instead, you're trying to use Madam Cao's family to protect yourself, threatening to make the whole Gusu area aware of the incident. I've never seen anything as shameless as you, worse than an animal!
Chen Shou looked at Chen Shao in surprise, and couldn't help but feel particularly ironic when he thought about how the other party had recently mocked him for taking advantage of women and said that he was hypocritical and disgusting.
Chen Shao himself is a worthless person, so how could he have the nerve to mock him?
He couldn't help but look at Mrs. Cao again.
Mrs. Cao was trembling all over, looking at Chen Shao in disbelief, her beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears: "Is what he said true? Back then, it was you..."
Chen Shao panicked instantly and quickly denied it, "Madam! Don't listen to his slander! I'm devoted to you, madam. How could I do such a thing?"
"Then do you dare to swear?" The dark-faced man snorted coldly, "If you do this, your descendants will be extinct, and you will die without a burial place. You will be at our mercy."
Chen Shao glared at him with resentment, and suddenly understood something!
This person was clearly prepared!
