Chapter 566 I am waiting for the day when Boss Peng repays me
It was difficult to talk in such a crowded place, and Peng Yuanliang didn't want to let Sang Zhixia escalate the situation further while he was at a disadvantage, so he simply spoke in a more tactful tone and invited Sang Zhixia to a corridor near the farm.
Sang Zhixia only took Xu Yu away, and the rest of the people continued to guard the manor.
When Peng Yuanliang saw this, he praised Mr. Sang for his prudence with a forced smile, then walked ahead as if he didn't want to be seen anymore.
The onlookers around the corridor were swept away. Sang Zhixia sat down on the stone bench that Xu Yu had covered with his outer robe and said leisurely, "Boss Peng, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Peng Yuanliang originally wanted to buy time, thinking that he would stabilize Sang Zhixia first no matter what, and then discuss other matters after Lord Liu arrived.
In the final analysis, if the people don't pursue the government, no matter how powerful Sang Zhixia is, he is just a mere merchant.
With Lord Liu here to support us, Sang Zhixia's arrogance can be suppressed to some extent.
But the opposite happened.
The messenger who had gone to report the news hadn't returned, and there had been no response from Lord Liu either. Peng Yuanliang looked at Sang Zhixia with an ambiguous expression, then smiled, seemingly agreeably, "I don't know why I shouldn't speak rashly, and I'm afraid the price I'd offer wouldn't suit Master Sang's taste."
"Since the Sang family is willing to sit down and discuss in detail with me, why not get straight to the point and ask for a price?"
Sang Zhixia seemed amused by this and laughed a few times playfully: "If Boss Peng says so, then I won't be polite to you."
When Sang Zhixia said this, the people led by Peng Yuanliang thought she was just making a joke to suit the situation.
But when Sang Zhixia really took out a list with clearly marked prices, marked the prices on each person's ticket and put them directly on the table, the people following him could no longer hold back.
"You are asking for too much!"
"How much does it cost to buy a young man from a human trafficker? You're asking for fifty taels just for pointing at one. Why don't you just rob him?"
When purchasing servants, middle-aged men and children are the most expensive. However, unless they are carefully trained and have special uses, the maximum price for one person is no more than five taels, and the maximum price for a young woman with good looks is no more than twenty taels.
Although the people on the list are all able-bodied laborers, it only involves one person's life contract. Even if they buy their lives, it wouldn't be that expensive!
The manager who yelled had a purple face, as if he couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and fight with Sang Zhixia.
But before Ke Ren could rush forward, he was kicked away by Xu Yu who was blocking the way in front of him.
Xu Yu kicked the man, his expression cold. His icy eyes swept over the others who were ready to make a move, and he sneered, "How can we allow you to be so presumptuous in front of our boss?"
"If there are still those who are not afraid of death and just rush forward, I will be incompetent even if I can't break your bones."
Xu Yu's voice was not loud, but he was filled with murderous intent.
Those who wanted to make trouble were frightened when they saw this situation. They looked around in panic and dared not move.
Sang Zhixia coughed lightly and laughed, "It was just a few small talk, why would it be necessary to go on such a rampage?"
Xu Yu, who was like a god of death in the last second, became obedient in an instant as if he was a wolf with its neck pinched when he heard the sound. He quietly retreated two steps and retreated behind Sang Zhixia.
Peng Yuanliang looked deeply at Xu Yu's ordinary face in disguise and said quietly, "Such a skilled fighter is so loyal. The Sang family is indeed a master."
The manager who was kicked fainted immediately after being thrown out. It was obvious without a careful examination that at least a few ribs were broken.
Such a person is willing to be a dog obeying Sang Zhixia's orders, and Sang Zhixia is quite capable.
Sang Zhixia didn't seem to notice Peng Yuanliang's sarcasm. She smiled faintly and said helplessly, "As a weak woman traveling outside, I have to put in a little extra effort to protect my life. This is just a last resort. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Boss Peng, today."
Peng Yuanliang pulled the corners of his mouth but couldn't laugh out loud.
Sang Zhixia spoke slowly, "But as the saying goes, even if a deal fails, friendship remains. Since we've agreed that one person will name the price and the other will buy, then we can discuss it."
"I've called out the price, so you don't have to respond."
Sang Zhixia seemed unable to understand the inexplicable anger of these people. She smiled and shook her head, "Anyway, I'm not here to make money today. I just want to take my things back."
"I'm not the type to force others to do things their way. Even if today's discussion fails, it won't affect our future interactions. Why make such a fuss?"
"Boss Peng, don't you think so?"
A breeze blew through the corridor, but it couldn't blow away the depressed mood that had accumulated in Peng Yuanliang's heart.
If Peng Yuanliang still didn't realize that he had fallen into Sang Zhixia's trap at this time, he would have lived all these years in vain.
Peng Yuanliang didn't have time to catch the strange feeling that flashed through his mind. After trying to bargain again and again, Sang Zhixia snorted in displeasure: "At this price, if we can't reach an agreement, forget it."
"Let's go get our people."
Sang Zhixia stood up and left. The people standing at the end of the corridor tried to stop him with fear, but this time it was Sang Zhixia who took action.
A cold light flashed at Sang Zhixia's fingertips, and the flying knife flew out of the air and fell to the ground with a scream. The person who reached out to stop it fell to the ground in pain, covering his wrist that was pierced by the flying knife.
The rest of the people didn't dare to move at all.
A flying knife, emitting an icy air, slid dangerously and deftly through Sang Zhixia's hand. Following it, Sang Zhixia's voice, half-smiling, rang out: "I don't like others to get close to me. To avoid damaging the relationship, you'd better stay away from me. Otherwise..."
"If someone that Boss Peng needs is injured, how can I afford to compensate him with just thirty or fifty taels of silver?"
"Walk."
"stop!"
Peng Yuanliang didn't bother to look at the injured man. He walked forward with a gloomy face and said, "Does the Sang family really want so much silver?"
"Or do you think I'm joking?"
Sang Zhixia raised her eyebrows comically and sneered, "Boss Peng, I'm not that free."
"Besides, I'm different from others. I'm not afraid of hot money."
She had robbed Peng Yuanliang's goods and then sold them to him. She even dared to accept such shameless money.
What's more, today?
Peng Yuanliang was reminded of dark memories by Sang Zhixia's words. He forced a smile from under his fierce expression, "Well done, you're really good."
"I accept the generous gift from the Sang family today."
"Someone, come here! Go and get the silver!"
The steward who followed Peng Yuanliang gritted his teeth in anger: "Master, this..."
"go!"
"Just give us the amount Mr. Sang wants, not a penny less!"
He wanted to see whether Sang Zhixia could afford to spend the silver he had earned with his life today!
The man who went to get the silver ran away without stopping. Peng Yuanliang narrowed his eyes meaningfully, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, and said word by word: "Mr. Sang, the northwest is such a small place. I will remember every detail of your request and will repay you one day."
Sang Zhixia chuckled, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "There's a lot of time to come, there's no rush."
"I'm waiting for the day when Boss Peng repays me."
