The incense is still burning.
And the further down it burns, the faster it burns!
Qin Baiye and Chen Kun couldn't help but look at Zhang Tao.
Chen Kun wished that Chen Xuan would kill Zhang Tianci and Qin Hao as soon as possible, after all, these two were not his sons.
Kill him directly, completely break off relations with the governor, and fight to the death. This is the situation he hopes to see.
Qin Baiye was secretly anxious because he only had Qin Hao as his precious son.
He is now thinking about giving the money and rescuing his son first.
However, since Zhang Tao didn't say anything, he didn't dare to make a decision on his own.
Zhang Tao's face was gloomy and uncertain. Since he became the governor of Mancheng, he had never been threatened like this.
If he compromised with Chen Xuan like this, he would be very unwilling and feel that his authority was challenged!
But if he doesn't compromise, his son will really die.
He now really believes that Chen Xuan dares to kill his son.
But he was really unwilling to surrender to Chen Xuan.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Tao said in a deep voice: "Chen Xuan, I have sent 4,000 elite soldiers to surround you. So what if you are good at fighting? As long as I give the order, everyone around you will die! No matter how powerful you are, you can't protect them!"
Chen Xuan immediately looked at him as if he were an idiot, and taunted him, "I can just kill you as soon as you give the order. If you die, won't these soldiers stop fighting? Who would risk their lives for a dead man?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tao's face changed, "You want to kill me?"
Chen Xuan continued to mock, "So what if I kill you? Are you that great? You are just a small governor of a barbarian city, a 7th-rank official. In the capital, any corrupt official I catch is much more powerful than you."
Zhang Tao's face turned green. He was the one who had the final say in Mancheng and was a seventh-rank official appointed by the imperial court.
In Chen Xuan's eyes, it is so insignificant?
You know, as a seventh-rank official, he is a prefect with military power, which means he has more power than an ordinary sixth-rank official!
"You are so arrogant!"
Zhang Tao gritted his teeth and was filled with anger.
Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "You don't think Ling Mo can protect you, do you? That kick I gave him internal injuries. It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, that kick I just used was an earth-level martial arts."
"Besides, I was very lenient with my kick just now. I only used 70% of my strength. If I had kicked him with all my strength, Ling Mo would have suffered more than just internal injuries. Even if I couldn't kill him with this kick, I would have crippled him."
These words were spoken lightly and effortlessly.
But every word that fell into the ears of Zhang Tao and others was like a bolt from the blue, exploding loudly!
"That's actually a real earth-level martial art?"
"Damn it! He's a martial artist, how could the Chen family agree to teach him such a powerful martial art? And he even mastered this martial art!"
When Chen Xuan took the initiative to tell everyone the level of his martial arts, no one was not shocked. After all, it was just a guess just now, but now it has been confirmed!
"Ling Mo, how long can you stop him?" Zhang Tao asked in a deep voice.
Ling Mo was still hunched over and half-crouching on the ground. He slowly turned his head and glanced at Zhang Tao.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but when he did, Zhang Tao's heart sank.
Because he saw blood flowing out of the corner of Ling Mo's mouth!
It seems that the injury he suffered is not an ordinary injury!
Moreover, if it was true as Chen Xuan said, he only used 70% of his strength.
If this is true, with a full-strength kick from Chen Xuan, it is possible that he could actually kill Ling Mo, who is at the fourth-level martial artist!
What is the concept?
This means that it would be easy for Chen Xuan to kill Zhang Tao!
"Baye, prepare four thousand taels of gold!"
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Tao spoke unwillingly.
The incense is almost burning to my butt. If I delay any longer, it will really burn out!
Moreover, Chen Xuan was too strong and left no room for maneuver!
Zhang Tao had no choice but to admit it!
"Brother-in-law, why should I prepare four thousand taels of gold by myself?"
When Qin Baiye heard that he was asked to pay, he felt as if someone was cutting his flesh with a knife and felt extremely heartbroken.
"Why, I asked you to pay, and you have a problem with that, right?"
Zhang Tao was already in a bad mood, and when he heard what Qin Baiye said, he became extremely annoyed. If you don't pay for it, should I?
Seeing him angry, Qin Baiye's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to pay this money, but I need money everywhere recently, and I can't come up with so much money for the time being. How about this, I will pay 2,000 taels of gold first, and let the Chen family pay the remaining 2,000 taels?"
If he were asked to pay four thousand taels of gold alone to redeem someone, he would definitely not be willing to do so. He must find someone to take the blame for him!
Chen Kun was furious when he heard this. "Is it your job to pay the ransom?"
Without even thinking, he immediately shook his head and refused, "Master Qin, this is your business. It was your son who provoked others first. If he was caught, you should pay the money. It's a bit too much to involve me."
Qin Baiye immediately sneered and said, "Chen Kun, that boy is from your Chen family. You can't control him, that's your problem. Logically speaking, you should pay for the four thousand taels of gold. I'm paying you two thousand taels, which is very generous!"
Chen Kun got angry instantly when he heard this.
You want to pay for my loss and ask me to pay half of it, and then you say that you paid me two thousand taels of gold?
What kind of logic is this?
"Master Qin, what kind of logic is this? It's complete nonsense. I won't pay this money!" Chen Kun refused.
"You don't have to go out? You have to go out even if you don't want to. This is the order of the governor. Do you want to disobey the governor's order?!"
Qin Baiye was too lazy to argue with Chen Kun, so he understood why he brought Zhang Tao out and used Zhang Tao to pressure him.
Zhang Tao and Qin Baiye are originally a family. The money houses in Mancheng are owned equally by the Zhang and Qin families. On weekdays, the Prefectural Government has received many benefits from the Qin family, and the Qin family has also made a lot of money from the Prefectural Government.
At this time, Zhang Tao would definitely help Qin Baiye.
"Chen Kun, this matter all started when your son was not allowed to enter the city. If you had let him in, would he have made a scene at the city gate?"
"If we hadn't caused such a scene at the city gate, there wouldn't have been so many troubles afterwards!"
"After all, your son Chen Qing is not immune to the consequences of the situation!"
"So this time, the four thousand taels of gold will be paid in half by your Chen family and the Qin family!"
Zhang Tao spoke coldly, and found Chen Qing's angle to force Chen Kun to give him money.
Chen Kun's face turned black. As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Two thousand taels of gold is equivalent to twenty thousand taels of silver. I wonder how long it will take to earn it back? !
"The incense is burnt out!"
At this moment, Chen Xuan's indifferent voice rang out.
The incense stick burning on the incense altar burned out at this moment!
