20demayo Chapter 164
Chapter 164
"It's like this, we are willing to redeem each person for 100 silver taels, what do you think?" Sun Haisheng said with a smile.
This 100 silver taels, calculated on a per capita basis, is still a sky-high price. According to the slave trade, a few silver taels are very high prices, and the wages of an ordinary worker are only a few silver taels a month, which is equivalent to a few thousand coins.
And these 100 silver taels are equivalent to 100,000 coins, and these two families are clearly being taken advantage of.
However, this is only based on the market price.
"Master Zhao, this is 10 times the market price." Li Zizhong also hurriedly said.
Zhao Shenzong's face was full of black lines. This time, they captured a total of nine people from two families, and these nine people were only 900 silver taels.
"Okay, I'll pay you 900 silver taels, and then I'll kill them all."
"Master Zhao, we're the ones who offered this price."
"Get lost, if you don't show your true sincerity, I'll arrest both of you." Zhao Shenzong snorted coldly.
Suddenly, both of them were scared.
Sure enough, it was impossible to take advantage. And Zhao Shenzong also seriously suspected that these two people were smart in calculations, but lagging behind in brains?
Did they treat him as a fool?
"Hey, Master Zhao, calm down, tell me, how exactly do you want to..."
"Come here." Seeing that they still wanted to play Tai Chi, Zhao Shenzong immediately became rude.
"Wait!" Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng panicked.
"Well, our two families will pay a total of 1 million silver taels, and there are also gold, silver, jewelry, jade and other things, a total of 2 million silver taels, please let the Zhao family let us go."
At this time, they were no longer calm, and immediately expressed their sincerity this time.
"No more?"
Obviously, Zhao Shenzong did not want to miss this opportunity to make the other party bleed.
Seeing this, Li Zizhong advised: "Master Zhao, you see, although you are the boss in the town, the combined strength of our two families is not small."
"It is said that it is better to resolve a feud than to make one. I think this matter is almost over."
"Who do you think you are?" Zhao Shenzong sneered and said, "If this is all you want for the apology fee, don't blame me for being rude."
"It just so happens that I have already sorted out the family. It's time to take action against you."
"I know the details of your two families. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhao Shenzong said impolitely.
This made the two people's faces extremely embarrassed.
"Sorry, Master Zhao, this is really all we brought. If you want anything else, you can come to talk." Sun Haisheng said seriously.
However, as long as Zhao Shenzong dared to come to their house, they would never let him go, and would detain him like the people who detained them.
"Come to their house?" Zhao Shenzong naturally knew what they meant, but he was not afraid.
With the bone-refining pills given to him by Li Taihang and his guidance, he has now entered the body-refining realm.
If he really had to come to their house, he would not be afraid.
"Are you sure?"
At this time, Zhao Shenzong looked at the two men with a playful look on his face, which confused them.
Sun Haisheng was even more so. He was just talking nonsense casually. Wouldn't they take it seriously?
However, thinking of the consequences of others taking it seriously, he could not help but feel ecstatic.
Even Zhao Shenzong was not a fool. Didn't he know what it meant to come to their house?
Besides, it was precisely because of this that their family heads did not dare to come to their house, so they sent them here.
They were also afraid that Zhao Shenzong would detain them, and then the gains would outweigh the losses.
After all, Zhao Shenzong was plotted against and almost died. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have a good face.
"You'd better think it through. If I come to your house, you will be exterminated."
"Hahaha, Master Zhao, you are joking. We were just joking. Don't take it seriously."
They thought that there was an immortal cultivator behind Zhao Shenzong. If the other party took action and exterminated their two families, they would really be finished.
Moreover, the government can't control immortal cultivators, and even fears immortal cultivators.
If they get angry with them, these immortal cultivators may even destroy the entire government, which is no different from them destroying a sect.
As for the official army's revenge, there is no need to think about it. Not to mention that they are all mortals, even if they go, they may not be able to reach the top and be killed.
"Yes, yes."
The two hurriedly gave up the idea of letting Zhao Shenzong come to their house, but they were also wondering in their hearts, that is, they didn't know the existence of Li Taihang.
"Is this immortal cultivator really here?"
With such doubts, they wanted to test Zhao Shenzong.
However, Zhao Shenzong would not waste time with them."Okay, you can go away. I will take all the benefits you bring."
"But you'd better let your master show absolute sincerity, otherwise, die."
Zhao Shenzong gave them the final ultimatum.
Then, he asked someone to send them out.
"Send them out."
At this time, the guard heard the sound, came in, and dragged Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng out, without giving them a chance to react, and dragged them out.
"Ah, no, let us go."
"Yes, you can't do this."
"No, Master Zhao, at least let our people out, we are sincere enough."
However, no one paid attention to them, and Zhao Shenzong also asked the guards to forcibly pull everything outside into their house.
Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng outside, watching everything being taken away, cried very sadly.
They claim to be the smartest, that is, they are calculating others, but in fact, they are nothing.
After returning this time, they will probably be dealt with by their respective masters.
"Ah, what are you going to do?"
"No, don't catch me."
After the supplies were emptied, a group of guards rushed out of the Zhao Mansion, arrested their followers and guards, and then took them into the mansion.
These guards and followers were naturally unwilling and wanted to resist, but they heard the guards of the Zhao Mansion say: "Let's go, you have been given to us by your master at the price of 100 silver taels each."
"Ah?"
Suddenly, the guards and followers were stunned.
They were pulled into the Zhao Mansion.
"No, why do you want our guards and followers too?" Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng were originally stunned.
Now, after hearing this, they were even more furious.
"Damn it, we didn't sell them, don't talk nonsense."
"Return them back."
"Yes, we didn't get the silver at all?"
The two rushed forward and tried to snatch the people back.
As a result, they were stopped by the guards and dragged out. When they reacted, they had been arrested and taken into the mansion.
"Woo woo." Li Zizhong couldn't bear it anymore, and he cried and snotted.
"The Zhao family is just a gangster."
"Yes, it's really too bad." Sun Haisheng also cried.
At this time, a guard saw them standing at the door and talking nonsense, and suddenly said with a sly smile: "I think their clothes should also be given to us. After all, except for these two people, the others are supplies sent to us this time."
"Well, strip them of their clothes, and then let them go back to report the situation. Anyway, it's the same. As long as they are not dead, it's fine."
"No, no, don't."
After these words came out, Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng were already scared to death. There was no plan to recover them. If they really became penniless, they would not be able to raise their faces in this life, and the Li family and the Sun family would not let them go.
Seeing them run away in disgrace, the guards laughed.
"Tsk, look at their cowardly look."
"Humph, they have to be cowardly."
"That's right."
This time, their Zhao family can be considered proud. Before this, they were worried about the future of the Zhao family, afraid that the future Zhao family would no longer exist.
Now, the Zhao family has not only escaped from bad luck, but also stood up again.
"Let's see who dares to bully our Zhao family in the future."
They also know that their Zhao family has a cultivator protecting them, and no one will dare to bully them in the future.
In the mansion, Zhao Shenzong was very happy when he saw the gold and silver treasures sent in.
"Hahaha."
"Master, will they sue us?" The housekeeper on the side asked worriedly.
"Sue?"
Zhao Shenzong said disdainfully: "The government dare not control us. After all, there are cultivators behind us. The government must weigh the consequences."
"Besides, this matter itself is the fault of the Li family and the Sun family."
Anyway, he has no pressure at all, but he dislikes that the other party gave too little.
"Discount 2 million, we will give 1.4 million silver to Mr. Li."
"Yes." The housekeeper responded, and he also knew that the Zhao family relied on Li Taihang.
So, Zhao Shenzong would not hesitate to give all the benefits he got to Li Taihang.
However, Li Taihang didn't want them to work for nothing, so Zhao Shenzong could only give 70% directly as agreed.
Li Taihang also came out of Liu Hongwu's house at this time. He had said everything he needed to say, and the rest was just waiting.
As soon as he came out, he saw the woman.
"Hello, Aunt Liu."
She is Liu Hongwuwife.
"Hello, Mr. Li, the young lady has gone back first, saying that the Li family and the Sun family went to her house, and she wants to go back to see the situation."
"Oh, okay."
Li Taihang said goodbye to Liu Hongwu's house and went out.
When he came to the street, he found that he was being watched and someone was following him.
Li Taihang found that the other party was still a cultivator.
Li Taihang didn't care much at first, but found that the other party was still following him, so he deliberately walked towards a quiet street.
When he came to this deserted street, Li Taihang stopped.
"Come out."
Li Taihang turned his back to the other party, and the other party came out when he saw that he was discovered.
"You found me?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I walked here?"
"That's right, this is not the inn where you live at all." The cultivator grinned.
