Chapter 588: Asking for Ransom
Outsiders don't know how the three talked to each other, but judging from the expressions of the three people, the whole process was quite smooth, and there was no tension. Although there were some disagreements along the way, they were quickly resolved through negotiation.
"Okay, according to what we agreed, Chen Shuizhou's future income Hou Mansion will take forty percent, Gongsun Shijia and Fengbing Pavilion will each account for thirty percent, heaven and earth will be the proof, and high-five is the oath!"
The other two also stood up, and the three palms "snapped" together, and they clapped their hands three times in a row, and the matter of this conversation officially took effect. What they agreed upon was not documented, it was only a verbal agreement, but it was sufficient for those who kept the spirit of the contract. People's words are believers, and words are counted, this is a necessary quality for a person, not to mention a big man like the Northwest Marquis and the head of the Gongsun family.
In the eyes of the older generation of Jianghu people, private contracts are more important than conventions, and things that are said must be carried out, self-restraint, and self-improvement, and this is called private contracts, and writing down documents is a kind of expression of conventions; if a certain party wants to break the contract, even if a document is written, what can a piece of paper have? The function of this piece of paper is nothing more than relying on a third party to determine who is right and who is wrong, and once it is necessary to use it, it means that someone has lost his integrity. In the final analysis, if all agreements need to be adjudicated by documents, it is a complete collapse of trust between people, which is the sorrow of the person who made the documents, and the sorrow of the whole society!
"Master Gongsun, let's go back and rest, I'm really sorry for your hard work in the middle of the night!"
"Didn't you, a high-ranking and powerful marquis, also toss all night? It's all for Chen Shuizhou's future, what are you afraid of with this little effort!"
"There's no way, now there are wicked people eyeing the bed, the building is about to fall, where can I sleep. Fortunately, with the help of two people, I believe that the Suncheon Empire will soon be able to return to the day when the country and the people are safe. Northwest Hou said solemnly.
"How can the side of the bed be coveted by others? Hou Ye rest assured, although the shadow is strong, after all, it is some conspiracy villain, if he succeeds, heaven will not tolerate it. The head of the Gongsun family said.
The Marquis of the Northwest nodded and said: "I hope to make good use of this evil eradication conference and give the shadow a fatal blow, they have already raised the three princes to control the imperial capital, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will ascend the throne, the situation is very unfavorable to us!"
"Then let's make good use of the Evil Eradication Conference, not only to fight the Shadow, but also to unite the righteous to fight the enemy together, and the fate of the Empire must not be controlled by the Shadow. Ye Heng said.
No matter how the situation develops, Wu Haoren must die, and if he escapes, it will be too great a blow to us!"
"Don't worry, Master Hou, I understand the seriousness of this matter!" Ye Heng emphasized.
"Then if we leave, we must hide Wu Haoren well, and we must not be rescued!" Before leaving, the Northwest Marquis said solemnly.
"Rest assured, few people know his whereabouts except me. Ye Heng assured.
"That's hard work, Gongsun family master, it is estimated that no one will come here to harass you tonight, let's go." Northwest Hou said.
The two giants left together, and Yun Yifeng fell from the top of the building and said, "Brother Ye, there is no abnormality found around. ”
"We have killed the two elders of the Heavenly Sword Alliance strongly, which has a deterrent effect on the people of other forces, and they are afraid of causing misunderstandings, so they will not easily come to prison again. Ye Heng said.
"Then what about this person?" Yun Yifeng asked, pointing to the Heavenly Sword Alliance's disciple who was stunned to death on the ground. This person knew that his life was tied to the two elders, but he watched the two being killed one after another, and his soul was so frightened that he had already passed out.
"Keep him, he is very valuable now, I don't believe that the people of the Heavenly Sword Alliance will not come to redeem people, and the living and dead will be kept for them, this is all gold and white silver, if you don't knock them hard, these gold and silver will become an army, weapons or grain and grass against us, etc., so, the Heavenly Sword Alliance must not be soft. Ye Heng said.
Yun Yifeng nodded, and the two of them sent the survivors of the Heavenly Sword Alliance and the two corpses to the prison, and rested in the cell for one night.
The next day, the news of the killing of the two elders of the Heavenly Sword Alliance quickly spread throughout the city, and the whole process was also circulated, people were sighing at the strength of the Fengbing Pavilion, no wonder they dared to hold a high-profile anti-evil conference, and killed the Taiyin Sect Sect Leader, who was once ranked sixth on the Dragon Gate list, it turned out that they were not crazy, but really had such strength. Gradually, people began to discuss how many places the Fengbing Pavilion could rank if the Dragon Gate List was re-ranked.
While people were discussing the Blade Pavilion, the Heavenly Sword Alliance had completely become a foil, and at their foothold, a group of high-level officials gathered for a meeting early in the morning. What made them very helpless was that in Tiancang City, they really had no way to take Ye Heng. This place is far away from their base camp, and these people can't compete with the Fengbing Pavilion in terms of numbers and strength, not to mention that the Fengbing Pavilion also has the military support of Chen Shuizhou, if they really collide with the Fengbing Pavilion, it is tantamount to looking for death.
"Alliance Leader, shouldn't we ask the Shadow for help?They sent us to fight the front station, it's only been a few days, and nothing has been done, we have lost nearly twenty people, including three Martial Sect rank elders, we can't go on like this!" said an elder to the Nangong Alliance Leader.
The leader of the Nangong Alliance said: "Elder Jian has sent news that the third prince has completely controlled the imperial capital, and the Shadow will arrange for him to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and then he will issue an edict ordering the troops around Chen Shuizhou to come and encircle and suppress it. Moreover, the army of shadows has already been dispatched and is assembling towards Chen Shuizhou, let's endure it for a few more days, and then settle accounts with the Fengbing Pavilion!"
"It's really a wretch, when did our Heavenly Sword Alliance suffer this anger!" someone yelled excitedly.
"Everyone, listen, stay here for me for the past few days, and restrain the doormen, no one can go out without my permission! Now the whole city is talking about us, going out will not only be noticed by others, but also very embarrassing!" said the leader of the Nangong Alliance.
Everyone was silent, knowing that the alliance leader was now on fire, and no one dared to speak out against it.
"Alliance leader, the jailer sent a letter, saying that it was sent to you by Ye Heng. At this time, the guards outside the door sent in a letter and told the leader of the Nangong Alliance.
"Where's the jailer?"
"Send the letter and leave, he said that Ye Heng was waiting in the prison. ”
"Take it. ”
The leader of the Nangong Alliance took the letter sent by Ye Heng, tore it open, just glanced at it a few times, and suddenly became angry!
"It's too much to deceive, too much to deceive!" roared the leader of the Nangong Alliance.
The others looked at each other, and someone boldly asked, "Alliance leader, what's wrong?"
"Ye Heng'er is too deceitful, he not only killed our two elders, but also wants us to spend money to ransom the corpses, if we don't comply, he will have to dispose of their corpses by himself, isn't this a threat to this seat?"
"Alliance Leader, the bodies of the Great Elder and Elder Yang should indeed be redeemed, after all, they are the people of our Heavenly Sword Alliance, and we should also be buried after death. One of the elders spoke.
"How can this seat not understand this truth, but, see for yourself, how much is the ransom he wants!" Nangong Alliance Master angrily threw out the letter in his hand and yelled at everyone.
Someone picked up the letter and only glanced at it a few times, and also showed an angry look, because the ransom written on the letter was really too much! The only surviving disciple asked for 200,000 taels of gold, and the corpses of the two elders cost a total of 500,000 taels of gold! This can no longer be described as a lion's big mouth, it is simply to cut off the finances of the Heavenly Sword Alliance! Even though the Heavenly Sword Alliance can come up with so much gold, it is only two disciples and two corpses that have been ransomed, what is the use of them asking for corpses?
"Damn, why didn't he rob it, Alliance Leader, I'm going to tear this kid, it's too dark!" one of the elders yelled angrily.
"Tear him up, is your strength as strong as that of the Great Elder? I'm afraid that if you are sent to the door to find death, then he will also come to me with your body to ask me for ransom!" Nangong Alliance Master said angrily.
"Alliance leader, you say, what should we do?" No one had an idea, so they had to kick the ball back to the Nangong alliance leader.
"People are under the eaves, I have to bow my head! I really didn't expect that my dignified Heavenly Sword Alliance would be played with like this, and we had to swallow our anger!" said the Nangong Alliance Master helplessly.
The leader of the Nangong Alliance knows very well that the Heavenly Sword Alliance has now been roasted on the fire by Ye Heng, if they don't redeem people, they will definitely be criticized as cold, ruthless and unjust, not to mention anything else, the number of disciples who want to join the Heavenly Sword Alliance in the future will definitely decrease. And on the ground in Chen Shuizhou, this is Ye Heng's home field, and no one in public opinion will clarify and whitewash the Heavenly Sword Alliance, if it is not dealt with in time, the Heavenly Sword League will be depicted more and more black. The leader of the Nangong Alliance wanted to understand this, and immediately made a decision, and was forced to accept Ye Heng's blackmail, even if he knew that there was a big and deep pit in front of him, the Heavenly Sword Alliance had to pinch his nose and jump down!
"Alliance Leader, that's 700,000 taels of gold, not silver!, how many years does it take for our Heavenly Sword Alliance to accumulate to save so much!" One of the elders yelled in pain.
The eyes of the leader of the Nangong Alliance became fierce, and he said: "Don't feel distressed, I want him to spit it out for me anyway! Blackmail me Nangong Suo, no matter who it is, you have to pay the price! Come on, send a message to Ye Heng, just say that the amount of gold is too much, and it is inconvenient for us to transport it, let him bring someone to get it!"
"It's the Alliance Master!" someone said yes and exited the hall.
"Isn't it just 700,000 taels of gold, I'll give it! I'll see if he Ye Heng dares to come and get it! Everyone, I'll go out, you must not leave here, before I come back, if Ye Heng comes, let him wait. Nangong Suo explained.
After everyone agreed, Nangong Suo immediately left the foothold and walked away alone.
In the prison of Tiancang City, the soldiers in charge of guarding here have already arrived, and they have already heard about Ye Heng and Yun Yifeng killing the elders of the Heavenly Sword Alliance last night, of course, they have all seen the corpses of the two elders of the Heavenly Sword Alliance with their own eyes, and when they look at Ye Heng and Yun Yifeng again, their eyes are full of admiration.
"Commander, the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect have sent a message, do you want to bring someone over. Yu Sheng walked in from outside and said to Ye Heng.
"So fast, this Nangong Suo is not simple! Bring people in, let's see how the Heavenly Sword Alliance answers." Ye Heng agreed.
Yu Sheng quickly brought people in, and when the people of the Heavenly Sword Alliance saw Ye Heng, they immediately said: "Ye Pavilion Lord, our alliance leader said that we are preparing the ransom you want, but because there are too many of them, we need you to go and get it." The people of the Heavenly Sword Alliance said.
"Okay, you go back and tell the leader of the Nangong Alliance, just say that I will be there before noon. Ye Heng happily agreed.
