Chapter 1900: Establishing Prestige
1900
The car drove all the way to the door of Zhao's house.
Xu Taiping got out of the car and walked into Zhao's house.
As soon as he entered Zhao's house, Xu Taiping saw Zhao Bigan hurriedly walking past him.
"Old Zhao!" Xu Taiping shouted.
Zhao Bigan stopped, looked at Xu Taiping, and said in surprise, "Master, when did you come back?"
"I just came back." Xu Taiping walked up to Zhao Bigan and said, "From now on, when no one else is around, just call me Taiping. Don't use honorifics. What is our relationship? If you call me you, what should I do? You can afford it, right? Father-in-law."
Zhao Bigan rolled his eyes at Xu Taiping, and then said, "I have become the head of the Zhao family, and yet I am poor..."
"Do you think it's okay to let your daughter follow me now?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I can't control her anymore. You can do whatever you want. By the way, Taiping, I still have something to deal with." Zhao Bigan said.
"What's the matter?" Xu Taiping asked.
"A few Zhao family members were sneaking around the treasure house and were caught by the Iron Blood Army. I plan to go over and have a look." Zhao Bigan said.
"Sneaky?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go and take a look together."
"Um!"
Xu Taiping and Zhao Bigan walked to the treasure house together.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the entrance of the treasure house.
At this time, hundreds of people were scattered around the entrance to the treasure house.
These hundreds of people were basically members of the Iron Blood Army, and some were guards of the Zhao family. Of course, at this time, all of these guards became treasure keepers.
Three men, probably in their twenties to thirties, were squatting on the ground, holding their heads in their hands.
"You go over first, I'll wait a while and see what's going on." Xu Taiping said.
"Yeah!" Zhao Bigan nodded, then walked up to the three people squatting on the ground and asked, "What's going on with you?"
"Butler, we are just walking around here, not doing anything!" one of the three people replied.
"What's your name?" Zhao Bigan asked the other party.
"I...my name is Zhao Rong." The other party replied.
"Are you really just walking around here?" Zhao Bigan asked.
"Yeah, I'm really just walking around casually!" Zhao Rong said.
"Steward, this is what was found on them!" A member of the Iron Blood Army walked up to Zhao Bigan and handed him a piece of paper.
Zhao Bigan opened the paper, and then his expression changed slightly.
"This is the design drawing of the Zhao family's treasure house!" Zhao Bigan stared at Zhao Rong and asked, "What are you doing with the design drawing of the Zhao family's treasure house?"
"This...this..." Zhao Rong hesitated for a while and then said, "We are just curious about the treasure house, so we came here to take a look."
"Tell me the truth, do you want to steal something from the treasure house? Things in the Zhao family's treasure house were often stolen before. Is it you who did it?" Zhao Bigan asked.
"No, no!" Zhao Rong shook his head repeatedly and said, "We really are not here to steal anything! Butler, we are also members of the Zhao family after all. Just let us go, so that everyone looks good!"
"You also know that you are members of the Zhao family?" Zhao Bigan said coldly, "The Zhao family is now on the rise again. If you don't fight for the Zhao family, you are still holding the design drawings of the Zhao family's treasure house. You are sneaky here, Zhao Rong, I know you, a member of the Zhao family branch. I was checking the Zhao family’s previous accounts recently, and I found that you alone have spent more than 100 million yuan this year outside. You You haven’t done any business, and the Zhao family’s living allowance for people like you is two million a year. Tell me, where did you get the other ninety-eight million?”
"Zhao Bigan, please stop it. After all, I am also a member of the Zhao family. You are just a foreigner with the surname Zhao. Why do I need you to take care of my money? The previous head of the family has never taken care of us. The Zhao family's money "If our Zhao family doesn't spend it, why should we leave it to you foreigners?" Zhao Rong shouted angrily.
"That's right, you are a foreigner. Who do you think you are? How dare you control us!" A person next to Zhao Rong also shouted.
"What a foreigner." Xu Taiping sneered and walked over from the side and said, "Zhao Bigan is the general housekeeper I appointed. Zhao Bigan can take care of the entire Zhao family, from Zhao Taiheng to a servant. You three can take care of it." , why can’t he control it?”
"Clan leader!!" As soon as Zhao Rong saw Xu Taiping coming, he quickly bowed and said hello.
"Clan leader!"
"Clan leader!"
The other two people also bowed.
"Military Lord!" Hundreds of people from the Iron Blood Army knelt down on one knee in front of Xu Taiping and shouted in unison. This voice startled others around him.
"You all get up." Xu Taiping said.
Just as everyone was about to get up, Xu Taiping suddenly pointed at Zhao Rong and yelled, "You three, kneel down for me."
Zhao Rong and others, who were about to stand up, quickly knelt on the ground.
"Tell me, what are you doing sneaking around the treasure house? Why do you still have the design of the treasure house hidden on you?" Xu Taiping asked.
"We just came to take a look at the treasure house. The treasure house is a forbidden area for our Zhao family. We are very curious. Really, clan leader, we are just curious." Zhao Rong said.
"You two, I'll give you a chance." Xu Taiping pointed to the two people next to Zhao Rong and said, "Whoever tells me the truth first, I will let go of this matter today. If you don't tell each other and cover each other up, Then you have to pray that I will never be able to find out what you are doing here. Otherwise, once I find out, the three of you... let alone people from the Zhao family branch, even if you are from the main line of the Zhao family, you will have to pay. I die!"
Following Xu Taiping's words, a terrifying murderous intent enveloped these three people.
The three of them were sweating profusely.
"I...I...I said!" One of the slightly thinner men couldn't help shouting.
"Zhao Xu, shut up!" Zhao Rong shouted.
"Shut the hell up." Xu Taiping scolded.
"Clan leader, I say, I say it all!" The man named Zhao Xu said excitedly, "The clan leader is Zhao Rong. He said that he has the design of the treasure house and knows where to escape the guards and enter the treasure house to steal things. He Let’s come with him to the treasure house to steal things!”
"Clan leader, he's talking nonsense, it's not like that!" Zhao Rong shouted excitedly.
"Really?" Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Xu and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, yes, Zhao Rong has stolen the treasure house several times before, but it was our Zhao family's own treasure house before. He took out and sold all the things in the treasure house, so he had money to spend the day and night outside. His Cars and other things were bought with this money," Zhao Xu said.
"Zhao Xu, you bastard!" Zhao Rong shouted angrily, "I always take you with me when I spend money, how dare you betray me!"
"It seems that what Zhao Xu said is true." Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Rong with a smile and said, "I have always heard that the Zhao family's former treasure house was occasionally stolen. I always thought it was those servants who did it. Yes, after all, they are not the real Zhao family. I didn’t expect that the person who stole the treasure house was actually a member of the Zhao family or a branch of the Zhao family. If Mr. Zhao knew that, not long after he left, the Zhao family would start stealing. He will definitely jump out of the coffin with his own things... You guys, when your family is big, it’s really easy for good and bad to be mixed. There are excellent people like Zhao Taiheng, who have contributed to the whole of China, and rubbish people like you. , there are also people who steal things from their own family, no wonder Zhao Gangjun doesn't want to stay in the family, because no matter how rubbish you are, you are all his descendants, hey, it is really not good to live too long."
"Head of the family, I was wrong. Please forgive me. Those things were all done when the previous head of the family was here. After you came to power, I haven't stolen anything, head of the house!" Zhao Rong was excited. said.
"It is true that you have never stolen anything, but that's because you were caught!" Xu Taiping said, looked at Zhao Bigan and said, "Old Zhao, according to the clan rules, what should be the calculation for stealing the family's finances?"
"Expelled from the Zhao family." Zhao Bigan said.
"No, clan leader, please, don't expel me!" Zhao Rong shouted.
"Expelled from the Zhao family? No, no, no, I won't expel you!" Xu Taiping shook his head.
Zhao Rong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xu Taiping's words.
"If I expel you from the Zhao family, you will be resentful to the Zhao family, and you will also be resentful to me. You are the Zhao family, and you know too many things about the Zhao family. Therefore, it is impossible for me to let someone hate the Zhao family. People with resentments in the family and who know many things about the Zhao family are staying outside, so... I'm really sorry, Zhao Rong, you hit the gun." Xu Taiping said, looked at Zhao Bigan and said, "Take it down, do it, your hands and feet are clean Let him suffer less."
"Did it?" Zhao Bigan looked at Xu Taiping in surprise.
"I did it." Xu Taiping nodded.
"Don't go, Patriarch, please, don't! I don't dare to have any grudge against the Zhao family. I agree that you want to expel me from the Zhao family, but please don't kill me, don't kill me!" Zhao Rong cried and rushed to Xu Taiping's feet, hugging Xu Taiping's feet tightly.
"As a member of the Zhao family, when the Zhao family was at its lowest, you didn't do anything for the Zhao family, and even stole the Zhao family's treasures to meet your own needs. People like you are not worthy of being a member of the Zhao family, nor are you worthy of being a human being. It’s a good tire,” Xu Taiping said coldly.
"Come here, take Zhao Rong down." Zhao Bigan said with a dark face.
"Yes!" Several treasure keepers came over and grabbed Zhao Rong from the ground.
Zhao Rong cried loudly, but it was of no use.
Many Zhao family members were attracted by Zhao Rong's cries. They stood in the distance and watched helplessly as Zhao Rong was taken away.
There was silence outside the entire treasure house.
A faint sense of solemnity floated in the air.
