Chapter 35: The Lion Opens His Mouth!



When Li Xiuning and others saw Chen Xuan's half-smile, they always felt that he was a bit mean and suspected that this guy had come up with some bad idea to cheat others.

However, none of them spoke. After all, they were all Chen Xuan's people, and it was impossible for them to speak for Liu Jinyu and his group at this time.

What's more, although Liu Jinyu spoke very eloquently, people's hearts are hidden. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows what his real purpose is?

Seeing Chen Xuan start to propose conditions, Liu Jinyu was immediately overjoyed.

I'm not afraid of Chen Xuan making conditions, I'm afraid of him not making conditions!

Putting forward conditions means that things can be negotiated!

He patted his chest and promised: "Master Chen, just tell me what conditions you have. As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "You don't have to go through fire and water, just give me some money."

Liu Jinyu was stunned.

Want money?

He thought Chen Xuan would put forward some particularly harsh conditions, but he never expected that he would just ask for money?

"No problem. We in Liufeng Village have saved up some money over the years. Master Chen, just tell us how much you want!"

Chen Xuan thought about it and stretched out a finger.

"One hundred taels of silver?" Liu Jinyu asked tentatively.

Chen Xuan's face suddenly turned dark.

One hundred taels, are you giving to a beggar?

Liu Jinyu quickly apologized with a smile: "Master Chen, I was just kidding you. How could I possibly give you a hundred taels? Even if you really only want a hundred taels, I can't possibly give you only that much."

Then he asked again tentatively: "One thousand taels of silver?"

After all, Chen Xuan just extended a finger.

So no matter how you calculate it, it’s always the number at the beginning.

One thousand taels is not a small sum, but it is not a lot of money for a bandit den like Liufengzhai with a population of 500. They have made a lot of money from robbing and robbery over the years.

It can be said that this group of bandits are much richer than many big landowners.

Chen Xuan's expression eased a little, but his face was still gloomy.

It seems that the price of one thousand and two taels of silver still does not satisfy him.

I didn't expect you to be so greedy at such a young age. If it weren't for Master Qin asking me...

Liu Jinyu secretly complained in his heart.

On the surface, he continued to smile and said, "Master Chen, do you want ten thousand taels of silver?"

"To be honest, this is not a small amount of money, but if you want it, I can give it to you right away!"

Chen Xuan was immediately happy. He didn't expect that this bandit was so rich. He could take 12,000 taels of silver just by saying so.

You have to know that all the money Chen Xuan has on him now is only six hundred taels of gold.

According to the exchange rate of gold to silver, which is 1 to 10, it would be 6,000 taels of silver.

Now, Liu Jinyu can directly take out 12,000 taels of silver. If this isn’t called being rich, what is it called?

But since they are being slaughtered anyway, why not slaughter them even harder?

Immediately, Chen Xuan shook his head and continued, "I think you must have misunderstood. What I want is indeed ten thousand taels, but not silver, but gold!"

"What?!"

Liu Jinyu's eyes suddenly widened into a round shape.

"Oh my god, ten thousand taels of gold?"

Xiao Liuzi was so scared that he sat down on the ground with his mouth wide open, and almost said "You are talking like a lion".

Around them, Li Xiuning and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chen Xuan's appetite is a bit too big.

they

Ten thousand taels of gold is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver!

For wealthy families in the capital, this is a huge amount of money.

If the bandits could come up with so much money, why would they still be bandits?

"Master Chen, you are... asking for too much..."

Liu Jinyu was cursing in his heart. Even if he emptied the entire Liufeng Village, he still couldn't collect 10,000 taels of silver!

They are just bandits, not money lenders!

"A lot?"

Chen Xuan immediately looked at him with disdain, then pointed at his seven wives and said,

"Don't you see that I have so many women to support? My wife is the first wife, so I must give her more, two thousand taels of gold. Each of the other concubines must be given one thousand five hundred taels of gold. In total, it will cost 11,000 taels of gold. I only want ten thousand taels of gold from you, and I will have to pay one thousand taels out of my own pocket."

Liu Jinyu was speechless. What does it have to do with me if you support a woman? Why should I pay for it?

Your woman won't let me touch her!

He was so sad and angry inside!

However, some are sad while others are happy!

When Xu Ruolan heard that Chen Xuan was asking for the money for them, she burst into laughter and couldn't close her mouth:

"Oh, my husband really cares about us. He knows we have no money to spend, so he comes to ask for money for us."

[Ding!]

[Xu Ruolan's favorability? 10, current favorability 16]

When the system voice sounded in Chen Xuan's mind, it scared him.

He never expected that Xu Ruolan's favorability would increase so much all of a sudden.

In an instant, he understood a truth.

As long as you cater to a woman's preferences and let her get what she likes, then she'll have a sharp increase in her favorability towards you!

For example, Xu Ruolan’s favorability has been increasing little by little.

Now that it comes to the money she likes, I will directly add ten points of favorability. The more money I give her, the more she will favor me. It is estimated that it will soon break through thirty points.

Once he breaks through to thirty points, Chen Xuan will be able to obtain new system rewards immediately!

Chen Xuan waited for a while and found that only Xu Ruolan's favorability increased.

What’s going on? Why isn’t the favorability of other women increasing?

This made him a little depressed. Don’t Li Xiuning, Lu Qiqi and the others like money?

"Master Chen, it's not that I am stingy, but even if I emptied the entire Liufeng Village, I couldn't come up with 10,000 taels of gold."

Liu Jinyu smiled bitterly. He now seriously suspected that Chen Xuan was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Not to mention that he couldn't come up with so much money, even if it was the Mr. Qin behind him...

Lord Qin could take it out, but others can’t take it!

"You've been a bandit for so many years, are you so poor? You can't even take out 10,000 taels of gold?"

Chen Xuan looked at him sideways.

Liu Jinyu suddenly felt that he was being despised.

If I had money, why would I be a bandit?

He forced a smile and said, "Master Liu, to be honest, everyone knows that there are many bandits in Bandit Mountain in recent years. Anyone who passes by must leave some money to pay for passage, so everyone would rather take a long way than go to our place. It has been difficult for us to be bandits in recent years. There are even some mountaintops that have started to drive people away because they can't make money from robbing and there are too many people to support in the village."

Chen Xuan couldn't help but blurt out: "How come bandits can also lose their jobs?"
