219. Chapter 219 Son of the Merchant of Venice 2


Liu Ting walked to Shylock and comforted Shylock: "Don't worry, father, I have a way to deal with it."

After saying that, he smiled at the lawyer and said: "I have a way to cut off Antonio. A pound of Mr. Liu’s flesh without letting him shed a drop of blood.”

The lawyer stared at Liu Heng and looked up and down, not believing what he said.

Lawyer: "You have to think carefully. If you let Antonio shed an extra drop of blood, you will lose your life, or your father will lose all his property."

Liu Hiiragi: "I'm sure."

His confident look made everyone curious about what he could do.

Liu Hiiragi: "Let me demonstrate it to everyone first."

After he finished speaking, he called his servant's name.

A young servant walked to the court and put down what he was holding. ,

Everyone was surprised to see two live chickens inside.

Liu Hao smiled and said to everyone: "I will cut the meat from the live chicken now. Let's see if I can leave an extra drop of blood in the live chicken."

As he spoke, he poured a powder into Fill the bucket with water, and then throw a live chicken into the bucket.

White smoke came out of the bucket and started to freeze. The live chicken was frozen in the bucket.

Waiting until the live chicken was completely frozen, Liu Tiao took it out of the bucket of water.

The whole body of the live chicken was frozen, but it was still alive.

Liu Heng picked up the knife, cut the chicken, and cut off a piece of meat.

The chicken blood has been frozen, so it did not flow out with the knife wound.

Liu Hao smiled and said to everyone: "Look, if you cut the flesh like this, there will be no bleeding."

Everyone in the court looked pale.

Antonio shivered all over, he was like a frozen chicken, feeling that he would not live long.

Liu Hiiragi: "I have a second method."

As he said that, he lit ten candles and then put the knife on the fire to bake.

When the blade of the knife was roasted red, Liu Hao quickly cut the knife on a live chicken outside.

The hot blade directly solidified the blood from the wound, and there was no blood dripping either.

Liu Heng smiled and said to Antonio and the lawyer: "How? Which way do you choose."

Antonio looked pale and shaky.

The lawyer was not much better. Although she was smart, she was just a spoiled young lady. She had never seen such a bloody scene before and was completely frightened.

"You, you are a devil!" the lawyer shouted.

Liu Hiiragi: "No, I just deal with the problem the way you, Mr. Lawyer. Oh, by the way, I can't call you sir, I should call you miss."

Liu Hiiragi: " I have a question, Mr. Judge, please explain to me. Why can one, oh, no, two women pretend to be men and come to the court to show off their power? Is there any justice in this court? "
< br>

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

In Europe of this era, women's status was relatively high, and some young ladies from powerful families still had the right to inherit.

But in fact, men are still superior to women, and women will not be allowed to participate in some important political places. The lawyer, Ms. Portia, had to disguise herself as a man in order to defend Antonio.

Portia's identity was revealed by Liu Hieragi, and her face was extremely ugly.

Portia's maid Nerissa, who was disguised as a secretary, was completely panicked and full of fear.

Liu Heng said: "It is only natural to borrow debts and repay money. Miss Portia, you are chasing my father and not letting Antonio change money. What are your intentions? You don't want people to know the reason why Antonio asked for money. Did my father borrow the money to help his friend Bassanio pursue you?"
< br>"It stands to reason that you are so rich. You can completely help Antonio pay back the money with three thousand gold coins before Antonio's debt is due, and then pay you back after Antonio's merchant ship arrives. But you For failing to do so, Antonio was taken to court by my father and forced to have his flesh cut off. Why was this? "

"It's because you don't actually like the person you chose, Bassanio, but you were forced to choose him. Therefore, you hate Antonio for giving Bassanio money, so you want to use my father's affairs to deal with Antonio. Or have you set your sights on my father's property and set a trap for him? "Is your choice of husband just a part of the conspiracy?"

"Miss Portia, your family is very rich, but as far as I know, it was not like this when your father was still alive. A lot of wealth. Could it be that the current huge wealth is obtained by such a conspiracy?”

"..."

One accusation after another was thrown at Portia.

Others in the court continued to think along Liu Heng's words...

The eyes they looked at Portia became more and more weird, filled with fear and disgust.

Even Antonio began to doubt Portia and looked at his friend Bassanio worriedly.

Bassanio did not doubt Portia and trusted his lover wholeheartedly.

Portia was so angry that she was shaking all over and almost vomited blood.

"Slander, you are a naked slander." Portia shouted.

Liu Heng asked calmly: "Then, Miss Portia, why didn't you help your lover's friend exchange money early in the morning? And now you are still bent on seeking my father's property?"

Portia: "..."

Portia actually just wanted to seize property for her lover's friend, not herself.

But if she says it now, others won't believe it and will only think that she is an insidious woman who has really been calculating Sherlock's property from a long time ago.

If such a statement spreads, businessmen from other places will be afraid of being plotted by her and will no longer come to Venice.

When Venice's economy declines, she will become a sinner in Venice.

The Duke of Venice and the local nobles could not spare her, they were afraid that they would attack the family property in her hands.

How could she, a weak woman, keep her family's wealth when surrounded by wolves?

I’m afraid I can’t even protect myself.

"You..." Portia glared at Liu Hieragi, wishing she could bite him to death.

Liu Hao said calmly: "You are too pushy and I have to fight back. If you just accept it and let my father get his capital back instead of returning my family's wealth, I won't do it either." will expose Your identity. All this is your own fault."

In fact, as long as Ms. Portia is not so aggressive and stops in moderation and lets Shylock get his money back, Liu Heng will not come forward.

In his previous life, he watched "The Merchant of Venice" and really admired this smart woman.

But unfortunately, in this life, I am the son of Shylock, so I am naturally on the opposite side of Portia.

And he knows that his father is not the ruthless loan shark in the play. Everything is just the slander of Shylock by others.

Liu Hiiragi naturally wanted to help his father.
