'Bang, bang'
At the agreed time, Xiao Yuanbing, accompanied by Ni Fang, knocked on Wang Changzhi's door.
Wang Changzhi was waiting for them, and upon hearing the commotion, he immediately welcomed them in.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly. You must be tired from your journey from Xin County."
Xiao Yuanbing was too lazy to play along. "Where are the copper coins? Show them to us first. I need to confirm that they really exist and that they are genuine before I can talk to you with peace of mind."
Seeing that Xiao Yuanbing was blocking the doorway and hadn't moved, Wang Changzhi was worried that someone would see them. He gave Zhou Ping behind him a wink, and Zhou Ping took out a copper coin and waved it in front of them.
"See? Come in and see if it's real or fake."
Seeing that Ni Fang nodded to him, the two of them entered the house without any problems.
After entering the room, Ni Fang took the copper coin and examined it carefully.
But Zhou Ping wasn't stupid. She tied a very thick rope to the copper coin, with the other end tied around her waist. No matter how many tricks they had up their sleeves, they couldn't take the coin away immediately.
Sure enough, Ni Fang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but she still carefully examined the copper coins.
But unfortunately—
She had no idea what copper coins actually looked like.
She didn't even notice that the characters on the coins were different from the original ones.
All I vaguely remember is its color and size.
After a moment's consideration, she said, "It's true."
Are you sure?
"Sure."
"Of course it's true. I found it on the beams of the Lin family's house. If it weren't extremely important, it wouldn't have been hidden there."
After Wang Changzhi finished speaking, he immediately told Zhou Ping to put the copper coin away. "Alright, let's talk about the copper coin now. This copper coin is so important, I don't think 5,000 yuan is enough to redeem it."
"Name your price, and I'll give it to you as long as I can get it."
Seeing that Xiao Yuanbing was a generous person, Wang Changzhi, with his mind wandering, made an absurd statement: "I don't want more, a flat price of 100,000."
Ni Fang exploded on the spot, "Why don't you just rob us? We have 100,000 yuan, why would we need these copper coins?"
“You don’t have to give it, but if it’s less than 100,000, this is out of the question. Anyway, there are other people who can help us…”
“Okay.” Xiao Yuanbing agreed immediately. “Okay, I’ll give you 100,000, but if you give it to someone else along the way, I will never let you go, no matter where you are.”
“Yuan soldier… you…”
Seeing that Ni Fang was about to interrupt him, Xiao Yuanbing shouted sternly, "Shut up, you good-for-nothing! If it weren't for you, how would you have ended up in someone else's hands?"
Ni Fang finally shut her mouth, but the thought of giving away 100,000 yuan to someone else made the resentment in her eyes seem to pierce the sky.
“I need some time to get 100,000 yuan in cash. You two should bring the copper coins and come to Gongcheng Road at 10 pm tomorrow night.”
"Can't I manage by myself?" Wang Changzhi asked doubtfully.
“You can manage on your own, but what if your wife takes the money and runs off to sell it to someone else? You two have to come together, otherwise the deal is off.”
“Okay, we’ll go together.” Without much thought, Wang Changzhi agreed.
Before leaving, Xiao Yuanbing still uttered a harsh threat: "Although I'm not from Jiangcheng, I'm still a small business owner. If you mess with me, I'll make you pay the price."
After saying that, Xiao Yuanbing and his companion left without looking back.
Just as the Wang couple were excited about the 100,000 yuan they were about to receive, Ni Fang, who had already returned to the car, got angry because she felt bad about the money.
“You clearly have money; you can take out 100,000 yuan. Why don’t you save Qingguo?”
Xiao Yuanbing snorted coldly, "Where the hell am I supposed to get any money? All the money I've worked so hard to earn over the years for your brother has gone into it. Do you think I'm going to change it?"
“Then why are you still…” Ni Fang was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on. “You wouldn’t… No, Yuan Bing, no, we’ve already made a mistake once, could it be…”
“Shen Jize has a lot of power behind him. If we can repay this life-saving debt, we will have endless wealth. A few lives are nothing; he has the ability to take care of it for us.” Xiao Yuanbing was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. “Don’t you want to save your brother?”
"But Yuanbing, can things go as smoothly as we think? What if Shen Jize doesn't give us face?"
Xiao Yuanbing hardened his heart. "Then kill Weiwei. Let her mother go and cry. Do I need to teach her how to gain sympathy? We have no way back now. It's too late to stop now."
-
10 p.m. the following night.
Xiao Yuanbing and Ni Fang, together with their tools, lay in ambush on Gongcheng Road early in the morning.
Gongcheng Road is located in the Jiangcheng undeveloped area. Because it has not yet been developed, there are almost no residents in the surrounding area.
Xiao Yuanbing had the opportunity to survey this area several times during a recent project discussion, so he has a fairly good understanding of the terrain.
The two hid behind a mound of earth and, seeing that Wang Changzhi and Zhou Ping hadn't brought any random people with them, came out with peace of mind.
"here."
As Wang Changzhi walked, he asked, "Where's the money?"
Xiao Yuanbing pointed to the side, where two large suitcases were placed at their feet.
Just as the two were about to walk over, Xiao Yuanbing stopped them, "Stop, wait, we need to look at the copper coins."
Wang Changzhi also became arrogant, "We also need to look at the money, so let's look at each other's money."
"OK."
Wang Changzhi pulled the copper coin out of his waist.
At the same time, Xiao Yuanbing opened his luggage bag, revealing real money on the top layer.
Just as both sides were getting excited, Ni Fang grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it into Wang Changzhi and Zhou Ping's eyes.
"ah."
'Bang'
Before they could react, Xiao Yuanbing picked up the shovel he had hidden beforehand and smacked each of them on the head.
In an instant, the two of them collapsed to the ground, barely alive.
Xiao Yuanbing was panting heavily. "Go, take out the copper coins and double-check them. I don't believe these people are so honest."
As Xiao Yuanbing had predicted, the money Wang Changzhi brought was indeed not real.
“The Yuan soldiers are different from the copper coins we see during the day.”
'Bang'
Without hesitation, Xiao Yuanbing smashed the shovel into Wang Changzhi's head once again.
"Tell me, where are the copper coins?"
Wang Changzhi was in so much pain he almost convulsed, but when he saw the shovel already placed on his neck, he was also afraid.
He may be a troublemaker, but he's not reckless.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Tell me, where are the copper coins? Hand them over right now."
"At home, I'm keeping it at home. I just want to make some more money, please don't kill me, please don't kill me..."
'Bang'
Before the other person could finish speaking, Wang Changzhi completely lost consciousness.
"Search them, search both of them."
Ni Fang frantically searched the two men, but in the midst of her frantic search, she suddenly froze on the spot.
Xiao Yuanbing noticed something was wrong, "What's wrong with you?"
As he approached, he saw a fruit knife stuck in Ni Fang's abdomen.
The person who stabbed him was Zhou Ping.
