"What a sharp-tongued boy! I want to see how long you can keep your stubbornness going!"
Qin Baiye was so angry that he almost exploded. He turned to Ling Mo and gritted his teeth, "Commander Ling, take him down immediately!"
However, Ling Mo frowned slightly, just glanced at him with the corner of his eyes, and did not obey his order.
He is the commander-in-chief of the troops in Barbarian City, and only the governor can give him orders.
Seeing that Ling Mo didn't listen to him, Qin Baiye suddenly felt ashamed. He quickly said to the sedan chair: "Brother-in-law, give the order quickly!"
This time, he didn't call him "Sir Governor" but directly called him brother-in-law.
Zhang Tao in the sedan was silent for a moment, and soon a majestic voice came out slowly: "Chen Xuan, right? This governor will give you a chance. Release Tianci, Qin Hao and the butler, and pay four thousand taels of gold. I will not bother with you about what happened today."
Chen Xuan asked them to pay compensation of four thousand taels of gold. Now Zhang Tao plans to use his own method to get back at Chen Xuan and ask him to pay the compensation!
Qin Baiye was listening anxiously and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother-in-law, why are you wasting time talking to him? Just let Ling Mo take him down, and Hao'er and Tianci will be saved, right? And if you raid his house, won't all his assets be yours?"
Just as he finished speaking, the curtain of the sedan chair suddenly opened a corner, and Zhang Tao showed a pair of indifferent eyes and glanced at him coldly.
One look made Qin Baiye instantly feel a chill all over his body, giving him a chilling feeling and he couldn't help but shiver.
Zhang Tao was warning him to shut up!
"Brother-in-law, I was wrong." Qin Baiye lowered his head, took a step back in fear, and immediately behaved himself.
The corner of the curtain that was lifted up was put down again.
On the side, Chen Kun naturally observed this scene and sneered in his heart.
The prefect actually wanted Chen Xuan to give him four thousand taels of silver?
This is simply wishful thinking!
Chen Xuan is the most domineering and unreasonable person he has ever seen. He dared to kill a captain at the city gate. Would he be afraid of a threat from your prefect?
Now the governor's murderous intent is not that strong, Chen Kun thought that he must increase the governor's murderous intent!
Immediately, he stepped forward, deliberately put on a stern face, and persuaded in the tone of an elder:
"Chen Xuan, the governor only asks you to pay 4,000 taels of gold in exchange for letting bygones be bygones. This is the governor's gift to you!"
"If you can't come up with so much money right away, let me ask you to give me some time to collect the money. I still have some face in front of the governor.
"If you really can't come up with that much money, you can borrow money from the Mancheng Bank, but you have to pay interest."
"As long as you agree, the bank can immediately prepare 4,000 taels of gold for you, but before lending you the money, you must first release Master Zhang, Master Qin, and the chief steward!"
He spoke with a sincere attitude, as if he was really doing it for Chen Xuan's own good.
On the side, Qin Baiye's eyes lit up.
The money house in Mancheng was jointly opened by his Qin family and the prefectural government.
Moreover, according to the rules of the money house, nine out of 13 return.
It means that if I borrow ten dollars, I will only give you nine dollars, but you will need to pay back thirteen dollars.
In other words, Chen Xuan borrowed 4,000 taels of gold, but the bank only gave him 3,600 taels, and when he returned it, he had to pay back 5,200 taels of gold.
This is definitely loan sharking!
But the money house doesn’t care at all. The interest rate is so high that you can lend it to me or not.
Anyway, what money houses lack the least is people coming to them to borrow money.
Many failed businessmen and gamblers will borrow money at any cost, no matter how high the interest rate is, in order to get money.
Qin Baiye was not afraid that Chen Xuan would not pay back the money when the time came.
Anyway, as long as Chen Xuan stays in Mancheng, he will have two possible outcomes.
Or, pay back the money honestly and work like a slave.
Either die!
Debts are cancelled when a person dies?
That's impossible. Qin Baiye can go to the Chen family with the IOU to ask for it back.
Anyway, it was you, Chen Kun, who came up with the bad idea of borrowing money. What's more, Chen Xuan was a member of your Chen family. Now that he is dead, who else should I ask for money from if not your Chen family?
If Chen Kun dared not to give it, Qin Baiye would move the prefect out.
Half of the money house belongs to the prefectural government. If you don't pay, you won't just be owing the Qin family, but also the prefect!
As long as Chen Kun wants to continue to survive in Mancheng, he has to honestly pay back the money with interest!
Thinking of this, Qin Baiye felt happy and his mood improved a lot.
His son is still a hostage in Chen Xuan's hands, and he has already started thinking about how to make more money.
"Chen Xuan, other banks lend you money and they give you 90% back. Here, I'll give you 100% back and I'll give you 13% back. I'll earn a little less from you and I'll think of it as doing a good deed."
Qin Baiye shouted as if he was so magnanimous.
Chen Xuan looked at him as if he was a fool, and suddenly raised a finger.
"What do you mean?"
Qin Baiye frowned, and the others also looked puzzled.
"If you don't get four thousand taels within one stick of incense, I will send your son on his way." Chen Xuan said calmly, leaving no room for maneuver.
"What did you say?"
Qin Baiye's eyebrows instantly stood up, "Are you threatening me?"
Chen Xuan shook his head. "It's not a threat, it's a notice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jinyu ordered someone to put a table at the door. On the table was an incense altar with three complete incense sticks inserted in it.
Liu Jinyu lit one of the incense sticks and it slowly burned.
"Our Master Chen means to burn one stick of incense and kill one person!"
"After the three incense sticks have burned, they will all be slaughtered."
Liu Jinyu grinned.
Even when facing a large army surrounding him, and even if there were martial arts masters on the opposite side, he was not afraid at all, and was even slightly excited.
You know, Chen Xuan easily used the method of enlightenment to make him learn the Dragon Claw Hand.
what does that mean?
This means that Chen Xuan must have even stronger martial arts skills!
So what if there are many people in your prefectural government?
So what if there is a martial arts master like Ling Mo leading the team?
In the face of absolute strength, everything is a joke!
Liu Jinyu didn’t know where the confidence came from, but he was inexplicably confident!
Incense is burning slowly.
"Chen Xuan, you! You really don't want to drink!"
Chen Kun had an extremely angry expression and pointed at Chen Xuan, as if he was about to die of anger.
Finally, he swung his sleeves and said angrily: "Because you are a member of the Chen family, I have repeatedly advised you with good intentions. Since you don't appreciate it, then I have nothing more to say!"
When he said this, his expression and attitude made it seem as if Chen Xuan was an ungrateful person and that he, Chen Kun, had already done his best.
"You old bastard, who do you think you are? How dare you give instructions to Master Chen?"
Liu Jinyu started cursing.
