Chapter 164 Followed
"It's like this. We are willing to redeem it on a head-by-head basis for 100 silver taels per person. What do you think?" Sun Haisheng said with a smile.
The 100 taels of silver, calculated according to the head, is still a sky-high price. According to the slave trade, a few taels of silver is a very high price, and the salary of an ordinary worker is only a few taels of silver a month, which is equivalent to several thousand dollars.
And these 100 taels of silver are equivalent to 100,000 yuan, and these two families have clearly been taken advantage of.
However, this is also in terms of market prices.
"Patriarch Zhao, this is 10 times the market price." Li Zizhong also hurriedly said.
Zhao Shenzong's face was full of black lines. This time, they arrested a total of nine people from two families, and these nine people only paid 900 taels of silver.
"Okay, I will pay you 900 taels of silver and kill them all later."
"Patriarch Zhao, we are the ones paying the price."
"Get out, if you don't show your true sincerity, I'll arrest both of you." Zhao Shenzong snorted coldly and said.
Immediately, both of them were afraid.
Sure enough, it is impossible to take advantage of it. And Zhao Shenzong also seriously doubted whether these two people were shrewd in calculations but lagging behind in their brains?
Do you think he is a fool?
"Hey, Patriarch Zhao, please calm down, tell me, what are you going to do..."
"Come here." Seeing that they still wanted to practice Tai Chi, Zhao Shenzong was immediately blunt.
"Wait!" Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng panicked.
"Well, our two families have paid a total of 1 million taels of silver, and gold, silver, jewelry and jade articles, totaling 2 million taels of silver. Please let the Zhao family let us go."
At this time, they were not calm anymore, and immediately expressed the sincerity brought about this time.
"Gone?"
Obviously, Zhao Shenzong didn't want to let go of this opportunity to let the other side bleed.
When Li Zizhong saw this, he persuaded him: "Patriarch Zhao, look, although you are the boss in the town, the strength of our two families together is not small."
"The so-called enemy should be solved rather than tied. In my opinion, this matter is almost done."
"What are you?" Zhao Shenzong sneered, and said, "If you apologize for this little fee, then don't blame me for being rude."
"It's just right, I have already rectified the internal affairs of the family, and it is time to take action against you."
"I know the details of your two families. Don't blame me for being cruel."
Zhao Shenzong said something politely.
This made the faces of the two of them extremely embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Patriarch Zhao, this is really all the things we brought. If you want anything else, you can come and talk about it." Sun Haisheng said seriously.
However, as long as Zhao Shenzong dared to come to the door, they would never let Zhao Shenzong go, and detain Zhao Shenzong just like the people who detained them.
"Come to the door?" Zhao Shenzong naturally knew what they meant, but he was really not afraid.
With the Bone Forging Dan given to him by Li Taixing, coupled with their guidance, he has now entered the Body Refining realm.
If you really want to let him come to the door, he is really not afraid.
"Are you sure?"
At this time, Zhao Shenzong looked at the two of them with a playful face, and they were completely confused.
Sun Haisheng is even more so, he is just talking nonsense, he can't be taken seriously, right?
However, thinking of the consequences of others taking it seriously, I couldn't help but feel ecstatic in my heart.
Even this Zhao Shenzong is not a fool, don't he know what it means to come to the door?
Moreover, because of this, their patriarchs did not dare to come to the door, so they were sent here.
They were also afraid that Zhao Shenzong would detain them, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
After all, Zhao Shenzong was calculated and almost died. If he was replaced by other people, he probably wouldn't have a good face.
"You better think clearly, if I come to the door, you will destroy the door."
"Hahaha, Patriarch Zhao, you are joking, we were just joking, don't take it seriously."
They thought that behind Zhao Shenzong, there was another immortal cultivator. If the other party took action and wiped out their family, it would really be over.
Moreover, the government can't control the cultivators, and they are even a little afraid of the cultivators.
If they were annoyed, these immortal cultivators might even destroy the entire government, which is no different from their destruction of a sect.
As for the retaliation of the official army at that time, there is no need to think about it, let alone that they are all mortals, even if they go, they may not be able to reach the top, and they will be killed.
"Yeah yeah."
The two hurriedly dismissed the idea of letting Zhao Shenzong come to the door, but they also wondered in their hearts, that is, they didn't know the existence of Li Taixing.
"Is this cultivator really there?"
With such doubts, they wanted to test Zhao Shenzong.
However, Zhao Shenzong would not bother with them, saying: "Okay, you can get out, I will accept all the benefits you have brought."
"However, you'd better let your Patriarch show absolute sincerity, otherwise, you will die."
Zhao Shenzong gave them an ultimatum.
Then, ask someone to send them out.
"see a visitor out."
At this time, the guards heard the voice, and after they came in, they pulled Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng out without giving the other party a chance to react, so they dragged them out.
"Ah, no, let us go."
"Yes, you can't do that."
"No, Patriarch Zhao, you should at least release all of our people. We have shown our sincerity."
However, no one paid any attention to them, and Zhao Shenzong also asked the guards to forcibly pull everything outside into their mansion.
Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng outside, seeing all this being taken away, immediately cried quite sadly.
They claim to be the smartest, that is, they are calculating others, but in fact, they are nothing.
After going back this time, it is estimated that they will be cleaned up by their respective Patriarchs.
"Ah, what are you doing?"
"No, don't catch me."
After the supplies were emptied, another group of guards rushed out of Zhao's mansion, arrested their followers and guards, and brought them into the mansion.
Naturally, these guards and attendants were unwilling and wanted to resist, but they heard the guards of the Zhao Mansion say: "Go, you have been given to us by your Patriarch at the price of 100 taels of silver per person."
"ah?"
Immediately, the guards and followers were dumbfounded.
Just like that, he was dragged into the Zhao residence.
"No, why do you even want our guards and entourage?" Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng were confused at first.
Now, after hearing this, he was even more furious.
"Damn it, we didn't sell them, stop talking nonsense."
"Bring him back quickly."
"That's right, we didn't get silver taels at all?"
The two rushed forward, trying to snatch him back.
In the end, they were stopped by the guards and pulled out. By the time they realized it, all of their people had been arrested and brought into the mansion.
"Woohoo." Li Zizhong couldn't bear it any longer, and burst into tears and snot.
"The Zhao family are simply hooligans."
"Yeah, it's just too bad." Sun Haisheng also cried.
At this time, a guard saw that they were still standing at the door making sarcastic remarks, and suddenly said with a smirk: "I think their clothes should also be given to us. After all, except for these two people, the others are given to us this time." supplies."
"Well, strip off their clothes and let them go back to report the situation. It's the same anyway, as long as they don't die."
"No, no, don't."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zizhong and Sun Haisheng were scared to death, and there was no plan to recover them. If they really became nothing at that time, they would not even be able to lift their faces in this life. I will not let them go.
Watching them run away in despair, the guards burst out laughing.
"Cut, look at how cowardly they are."
"Hmph, they can't be cowardly."
"just so."
This time, their Zhao family felt proud. Before that, they were worried about the future of the Zhao family, fearing that the future Zhao family would no longer exist.
Well now, the Zhao family not only got rid of bad luck, but also stood up again.
"In the future, let's see who dares to bully our Zhao family."
They also knew that their Zhao family was protected by a cultivator, so no one would dare to bully them in the future.
In the mansion, Zhao Shenzong was very happy to see the gold and silver treasures brought in.
"Hahaha."
"Patriarch, will they sue us?" The housekeeper at the side asked worriedly.
"tell?"
Zhao Shenzong said disdainfully: "The government doesn't dare to control us. After all, behind us are immortal cultivators. The government has to weigh the consequences."
"Besides, this matter itself is the fault of the Li family and the Sun family."
Anyway, he didn't have any pressure at all, instead he hated the other party less.
"The discount is 2 million, and we will hand over 1.4 million silver taels to Mr. Li."
"Yes." The butler replied, and he also knew that the Zhao family relied on Li Taixing.
Therefore, Zhao Shenzong will not hesitate to give all the benefits to Li Taixing.
However, Li Taixing didn't want them to do it for nothing, so Zhao Shenzong could only give 70% directly as agreed.
Li Taixing also came out of Liu Hongwu's home at this time, all that should be said has been said, and the rest is waiting.
As soon as he came out, he saw the woman.
"Hello, Aunt Liu."
She is Liu Hongwu's wife.
"Hello, Mr. Li, the young lady has already gone back first. She said that the Li family and the Sun family have gone to her house. She wants to go back and check the situation."
"Oh well."
Li Taixing bid farewell to Liu Hongwu's home and went outside.
When he came to the street, he found that he was being targeted, and someone was following him.
Li Taixing discovered that the other party was also a cultivator.
Li Taixing didn't care much at first, but found that the other party was still following him, so he deliberately walked towards a quiet street.
Li Taixing stopped when he came to this deserted street.
"Come out."
Li Taixing turned his back to the other party, and the other party came out when he saw that he had been discovered.
"You found me?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I came here?"
"That's right, this is not the inn where you live at all." The immortal cultivator grinned.
