Chapter 573 Do you want to count the money with me?

Peng Yuanliang just laughed when he was mocked: "In the past, it was indeed worth this price, but now is not the past."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Sang family should be in a hurry to sell it, right? I dare say that in such a big country like Northwest China, no one except me would dare to buy this farm right now."

"you……"

"If no one dares to buy, I can always choose not to sell it."

Sang Zhixia sneered: "The things are mine. Whether I let them grow weeds or sell them to someone else is my business."

"If I don't want to, who else can come and rob me?"

Sang Zhixia was very tough and refused to give in to Peng Yuanliang's hypocrisy.

Peng Yuanliang laughed for a while, then shook his head and said, "One million is not impossible, but this farm alone is not enough. I need something else."

"I heard that the Sang family also enclosed a tea mountain on Mo Ding Mountain. I bought it for 800,000 taels, including those tea gardens."

It wasn't the farm that made Peng Yuanliang visit in person.

But it is the thousand-acre tea garden on Moding Mountain.

However, Sang Zhixia laughed softly when she heard this: "Mo Dingshan?"

"I thought I was the one who was exhausted and confused, but I didn't expect there were people who were even crazier than me."

Sang Zhixia looked at Peng Yuanliang like he was a fool and said sarcastically, "I wouldn't sell my tea garden to you even if someone offered me five million, let alone four hundred thousand as a bonus."

Thousands of acres of tea gardens are equivalent to endless mountains of gold.

Sang Zhixia showed her determination to make a comeback by protecting the tea garden and refused to give in. Seeing this, Peng Yuanliang couldn't help but sneer and said, "Are you really not going to sell it?"

“Not for sale.”

Sang Zhixia lost her patience and waved her hand, saying, "Come on, show him up!"

Peng Yuanliang was very enthusiastic at first, but when it came time to see the guests off, he didn't insist.

After the people walked away, Song Liu, who was standing behind Sang Zhixia, whispered, "Boss, will this guy go to the tea garden to cause trouble?"

Everything on the farm was arranged by them in advance. The granary that caught fire today was just a cover, and it was filled with useless hay and chaff.

Just burn it for show, it’s not a valuable thing anyway.

But tea gardens are different.

The thousand acres of tea orchards on Moding Mountain took several years of hard work. Now that the time has finally come for the golden hen to lay eggs, it cannot be destroyed by such a killer.

Sang Zhixia flicked her fingertips and said lightly, "No."

"He considers the farm and tea plantation his own, and he knows the value of Mo Ding Mountain better than anyone else. If you were in his shoes, would you be willing to smash the golden egg that's about to be in your hands?"

Sang Zhixia stood up slowly after she finished speaking, and said calmly, "No rush."

"He came here today to act so dignified, just to amuse himself by watching me lose my composure in my impatience. We'll have plenty of opportunities to discuss this later."

Sang Zhixia's words hit the nail on the head, and also pinpointed Peng Yuanliang's hidden thoughts that he could not tell anyone.

Peng Yuanliang was indeed reluctant to give up the tea garden that was about to be acquired, nor was he willing to give up the meat that was right in front of his mouth.

But now it’s a test of patience.

If the fisherman is too impatient, the fish under the water may not be willing to bite the hook.

Sang Zhixia returned home slowly. In the next few days, he kept sending people out to negotiate with different people, as if he really wanted to find a new buyer.

Peng Yuanliang secretly observed the developments here. As usual, after listening to his subordinates' reports, a sense of dread rose in his heart. "We control everything inside and outside the border now. Have you noticed anything wrong?"

Since a month ago, it is no longer just goods that enter the border, but also some strangers in disguise.

After entering the pass, these people will hide secretly in the northwest, and after accumulating a large number of them, they will prepare to take over the northwest in the near future.

If the commander of the Northwest Camp is not sensible, these people will be a deadly knife from the inside out.

As long as they hide the evidence well and then stage a scene to expose it, those who disobey and refuse to follow orders will die under the sword of the court.

They have been planning for this day for a long time.

The person being questioned looked respectful and whispered, "Don't worry, Master."

"Whether it's goods or people entering the country, we know their routes very well, and everything is safe."

Peng Yuanliang was a little uneasy because of the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He paused and said, "The verification should not be underestimated."

"Remember, you must be extremely careful and not let any news leak out. You must be careful!"

The man who was warned by Peng Yuanliang again left with a serious face. Peng Yuanliang had just sat down when someone came in and said, "Master, there's new news from the tea garden and the farm."

Peng Yuanliang instantly perked up: "What do you mean?"

At the same time, Wu Lian, who was sitting at the table in plain clothes, had an expression of unspeakable envy on his face. He said quietly, "Otherwise, why do people say that Young Master Xu has a good life? This blessing is indeed extraordinary."

Sang Zhixia has contacted many people recently and has also worked out a rough price for selling the tea garden and the farm together. He will not sell it for less than five million taels.

Five million taels is a huge number, but judging by the combined value of the two, it can actually be considered a bargain.

The buyer got a bargain.

At this price, even if Peng Yuanliang wanted to lower it, he couldn't help but be tempted.

But in reality...

The farms and tea gardens being sold are all fake.

Peng Yuanliang would probably never have thought until his death that Sang Zhixia had been thinking of getting something for nothing from the very beginning.

By the time the deal was done and the money arrived, it was almost the time of Peng Yuanliang's death.

What business can you talk about with a dead person?

The names on those deeds will never even change, they will always be Sang Zhixia's.

Even the businesses that Peng Yuanliang had run in the early days were owned by Sang Zhixia.

Wu Lian couldn't help feeling jealous when he thought that Sang Zhixia was about to get five million taels of silver just by saying a few words and snapping her fingers.

"How much silver did Peng Yuanliang hide? After the Sang family is robbed, will there be anything useful left to be found on the corpse?"

Wu Lian, Deputy General Wu and others had already sharpened their blades and were just waiting for Peng Yuanliang to charge forward.

But before this man died, Sang Zhixia was too cruel!

Xu Yu said with a smile: "Why, are you envious of my good fortune?"

Wu Lian curled his lips and said, "Who can resist being jealous after seeing this? I am just a red-eyed crow, but there are many others in the camp who are as jealous as rabbits."

Xu Yu placed a piece to block Wu Lian's path amidst his repeated gasps. He raised his hand and said, "Since we've already agreed that this is a case of collusion between officials and businessmen, I won't just let you watch in vain."

"The meat is out of the pot, so naturally, everyone who sees it gets a share."

As for how to divide it specifically, Xu Yu did not interrupt.

The benefits of mulberry branches and summer pits should be divided into mulberry branches and summer pits.

Wu Lian had only said this sarcastically, but after hearing this he felt a little embarrassed: "That's inappropriate, isn't it?"

"After all, we're just playing a supporting role. We haven't put in any effort. How can we have the nerve to enjoy such benefits?"

"You guys still have time to be polite?"

Xu Yu tutted his tongue in surprise, and sneered at Wu Lian's reluctance, "It's not much. The damage from sharpening the knife can always be made up."

"It's been hard to suppress the activity outside lately. When Peng Yuanliang comes to pay the silver, I'm afraid these dumplings that have been wrapped for so long will be exposed. How are you dealing with those flies that have sneaked in?"

When talking about business, Wu Lian's expression became much more serious.

Wu Lian coughed and put his hand to his mouth. His sneer disappeared and he said murderously, "Don't worry, Master Xu. All those who deserved to die are dead."

"The dead won't stand in the way."

Peng Yuanliang and the man from the Eastern Palace wanted to repeat the same trick. They secretly released foreign enemies and forged evidence that the local garrison was collaborating with the enemy, thereby achieving the goal of replacing military power.

Such tricks may seem fresh once, but if they are used too many times, hell will be their only destination.

Xu Yu smiled slightly upon hearing this and said delicately, "That's very good."

As soon as Xu Yu finished speaking, he turned around and saw Sang Zhixia walking out from the north courtyard, dressed as if he was going to meet a guest.

Noticing Xu Yu's gaze, Sang Zhi Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows with pride and jokingly said, "Peng Yuanliang brought me some silver. Do you want to count it with me?"
