"But then again, how did the master know that this man could deal with the governor?"
"Have you forgotten? Master always likes to join in the fun. When something happened at the city gate yesterday, Master went to see it. Later, when Qin Hao was beaten while driving a carriage at the market, Master also went to see the fun. After that, the governor mobilized a large army to besiege the courtyard, Master was planning to see it again, but the governor closed the city gate and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so Master was unable to see it. But Master went to see it a few times before, and he must have recognized this man."
The apprentices of the old man in the blacksmith shop looked at Chen Xuan one by one and couldn't help but speak.
At this time, the old man was hammering away at the iron with a faint smile on his face.
It was obviously a boring and tedious job, but with his constant hammering, it produced a rhythmic sound that sounded like music.
"Are you the one who kidnapped Zhang Tianci and the others?"
Liao Jun is not a fool. With the discussions of people around him reaching his ears, he finally realized why Zhang Tianci ran away!
"Isn't it a little too late for you to react now?"
Chen Xuan didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either. However, since he had already said this, it was no different from admitting it.
"You! Damn it, I'm unlucky to meet you. How much money do you want? I'll pay you some money and you let me go!"
Liao Jun suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
This morning, his father was still warning him that if he met the person who kidnapped Zhang Tianci, he must not conflict with him. Our Liao family has no grudge against this person. If Zhang Tianci wants to instigate him to deal with Chen Xuan, he must not be fooled and be used as a gun by others.
He promised everything in the morning, but now something went wrong. What you fear will come true!
"You want to give me money? Are you rich?" Chen Xuan smiled.
Liao Jun said timidly: "I'm sorry for offending you in this matter. How about this, you go to my Yihong Courtyard to play around. You can choose any woman you want. I won't charge you any money. We can just treat it as making friends."
Men are all lustful, and he wanted to use his beauty to temporarily seduce Chen Xuan.
However, before Chen Xuan could express his opinion, Xu Ruolan on the side could no longer stand it and pointed at Liao Jun's nose and cursed:
"You dishonest bastard, it's fine if you're vulgar yourself, but you actually want to take my husband to that kind of red-light district to have fun?"
"You want to lead my husband astray, right? I tell you, you are dreaming! My husband has no shortage of women around him, so just give up on this idea!"
Yang Ying'er also cursed coldly: "You bastard, you are so dirty. It seems that the kick just now has not completely turned you into a eunuch. I will kick you again!"
It would have been fine if Yang Ying'er didn't mention this. But once she did, Liao Jun, who had just finally forgotten the pain, suddenly felt the pain in his balls again.
The kick Liu Jinyu gave him just now had made him feel like he was living a life worse than death. If he got kicked again, he would really go to hell!
He squeezed his butt subconsciously.
"I'm not interested in the women in your Yihongyuan." Chen Xuan said indifferently.
What did Liao Jun think of him as? A ladybug?
"Then I'll give you money. How about this? I'll give you one thousand taels of silver to settle the matter. What happened just now was purely a misunderstanding. I'll give you this thousand taels to make friends. In the future, if you have any problems in Mancheng, you can call me. As a friend, I will definitely help you wherever I can!"
Liao Jun said with gritted teeth.
No matter what, he had to get away with it first and let Chen Xuan let him go. It didn't matter if he spent some money. He could just consider it as a way to avoid disaster.
However, Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Do you know how much the ransom for Zhang Tianci and his men is?"
When Liao Jun heard this, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
How could he not know that Chen Xuan wanted one thousand taels of gold per person, but in the end, he extorted a full five thousand taels of gold!
"Are you trying to extort one thousand taels of gold from my Liao family?"
Liao Jun spoke with a grim expression.
Chen Xuan shook his head: "I'm not short of money."
Hearing this, Liao Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just don't ask for money, everything can be negotiated.
"You don't want money, what do you want? Women? I have a lot of girls in Yihongyuan, how many do you want?"
Chen Xuan discovered that this guy mentioned money or women every other sentence.
All I can say is that this kind of dandy young man's life is really decadent.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "I heard that your Liao family controls more than half of the rice shops in the entire Barbarian City, right? How about this, let your Liao family pay 10,000 dan of rice to redeem you."
boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, a huge uproar ensued, and the entire scene exploded.
"What? He doesn't want money? He wants food instead?"
"Is he crazy? He actually wants 10,000 dan of rice? You know, in our Dagan Dynasty, one tael of silver can only buy two dan of rice. 10,000 dan of rice is worth 20,000 taels of silver!"
"Rice from other places in the Dagan Dynasty only costs one tael of silver for two dan of rice, but the rice in our Mancheng costs one tael of silver for four dan of rice, which is exactly double the price. In other words, he is directly asking the Liao family to pay 40,000 taels of silver for an acquaintance!"
"The Liao family can definitely come up with 10,000 dan of rice, but this is tantamount to cutting off their flesh, the Liao family will not agree!"
"Ten thousand dan of rice is enough to feed the people of our Barbarian City for two or three months!"
No one was not shocked. There was already a food shortage in the Barbarian City, and Chen Xuan was still asking for such a huge amount of food. It was simply unbelievable!
"Impossible! There's no way my father would give me so much rice to redeem me!"
Liao Jun never expected that Chen Xuan didn't want money but food.
Food is much more valuable than silver.
He would rather pay ten thousand taels of silver than ten thousand dan of rice!
Immediately, Liao Jun said with a stiff upper lip, "If you really want money, I can give you the same price as Zhang Tianci, but forget about the food!"
Chen Xuan immediately looked at him as if he were an idiot and sneered, "Are you kidnapping me? Or am I kidnapping you? Do you think you have room to negotiate with me? Are you worthy?"
After saying that, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Liao Jun. He found that this man might have some problems with his brain. No wonder the three heroes of Mancheng didn't take him with them.
Chen Xuan gave Liu Jinyu a look, and Liu Jinyu understood what he meant. He smiled and picked up a dirty rag nearby and stuffed it into Liao Jun's mouth, not allowing him to speak. Then he found a hemp rope to tie him up and enjoyed the same treatment as Zhang Tianci yesterday.
“Woo woo!”
Liao Jun kept making humming sounds, trying to speak.
However, Chen Xuan did not give him this opportunity at all. He said to the people around him: "Please everyone, someone go to the Liao family and tell them that before sunset today, 10,000 dan of rice must be delivered to my residence outside the city. If not, his son will surely die, and the Liao family will be extinct!"
