110. Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other

The representative on the other side directly ignored Wang Wanwan's existence and shouted at Zhao Xiang: "Zhao Gongzi, seven hundred taels is too little, 20,000 taels of silver, people will leave it for you, our brother will leave Zhangzhou, and no one will dare to grab this land with you." ”

Zhao Xiang looked at He Defang: "Old He, these people are crazy, right?" ”

He Defang shook his head: "Although there are some accidents, it is still reasonable, these big local families usually have one or twenty families at home, and in the event of a disaster, they will invite some other people from outside to be temporary nursing homes." The people invited are often ruthless characters who are half-bandits and half-people in the mountains, hunting for a living in ordinary years, and occasionally encountering lone traders who also rob to earn some money. In a disaster year, big families paid a high price to invite these people to come over to help for the safety of their families, and by the way, they became thugs and invaded the fields of ordinary people. It seems that they are treating you as a rich man and want to make a fortune and run away. ”

Listening to He Defang's introduction, Zhao Xiang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the other side.

"Lao Wang, you are in big trouble this time! actually colluded with bandits to extort me, this kind of crime is also confiscation of family property and exile for 3,000 miles, right? ”

Wang Million hung on the tree and twisted, still making his last efforts: "Tian Qi, you bastard, did Lao Tzu tell you to let people hear!" ”

Tian Qi still pretended not to hear: "What are you saying, be louder, you can't hear clearly!" Zhao Gongzi, have you thought about it clearly, 20,000 taels, to protect their surname, they also got 20,000 acres of land for nothing, and the document title deed was found in the county, and they all discussed it. I can only say this, people die for money, birds die for food, I will give you a pillar of incense time, if a pillar of incense does not send money over in the future, I will start killing. The brothers came out to sell their lives just for a little money, if Zhao Xiang thinks that your nursing homes can leave us behind, the brothers will fight with you to the death! ”

"Okay! Deal! Just give me a little more time, I don't raise money that quickly. Zhao Xiang agreed. The other party quickly agreed, but Tian Qi demanded that the silver be handed over before dark, otherwise he would kill people and flee for his life.

On the way to Shifeng, the people accompanying him were silent. 20,000 taels of silver to save seventeen people, Zhao Xiang is undoubtedly crazy. But six of the seventeen people were Wutian villagers and two were villagers from the north branch of Liushui...... Emotionally, no one wants their friends and neighbors to be killed.

He Defang was the only one who could enter the first floor of the basement with Zhao Xiang. Entering through the code door and going downstairs, a straight corridor is flanked by several storerooms, each with a large, thick vault door. When he arrived at the door of the first warehouse, He Defang stopped: "I'll wait for you here." ”

Zhao Xiang smiled: "Come in together, there's nothing you can't see here." ”

The door opened, and inside was a huge room ten meters long and ten meters wide and five meters high, with iron shelves on which were silver bricksβ€”silver bricks weighing ten kilograms each.

The modern silver ingots that have been treated with anti-oxidation treatment reflect the light under the light, and He Defang only feels that his heart is beating faster.

Zhao Xiang pushed a small pile of carts over: "A silver brick is two hundred and fifty taels, twenty thousand taels, and eighty yuan is enough." ”

So He Defang carefully moved the silver bricks one by one to the small cart.

Eight hundred kilograms of silver bricks is not much, but they are piled on the cart, and everyone who sees them is a little excited. The silver bricks were distributed to five carts at the bottom of the mountain, and then pushed to the bank of the river.

Seeing the silver bricks stacked on the wall, there was an exclamation on the other side. The robbers who had suddenly been transformed from the nursing home could hardly restrain their excitement. Although it has not been inspected, it is mostly silver. Tian Qi said with a smile: "Zhao Dayuan is really wealthy, no wonder so many big families have never left you since you appeared in the Zhangzhou territory." Spend 20,000 taels to redeem more than a dozen mud legs, Tian admires someone! Wang Da Rich Lord, we have to learn more from Zhao Gongzi in the future, we are also some face-to-face people, you send us like a flower child, brothers are not happy! ”

"You bunch of XXX stuff!" Wang Million scolded at the top of his throat, but no one paid attention to him.

The money was delivered, but how to pay the money and release the people became a problem again. The last thing Zhao Xiang wants to see is that the other party tears up the ticket after collecting the money, and what the other party is most afraid of is being shot to death by random arrows after releasing people. And there is another problem, I am afraid that the silver will be transferred after being put into the box, but there is no way to transport it centrally if it is not put into the box.

Zhao Xiang was not in a hurry, he sat on the wall and negotiated with Tian Qi slowly, and it took an hour to talk about it, and finally determined the handover plan: build a simple bamboo bridge (the bamboo has already been prepared anyway), and then put the silver on the wall into four boxes and lock it, the other party took a hundred steps back except for the four archers, and the archers hid in the nearby bushes, so as to ensure that they would not be killed by the arrows of Zhao Xiang's archery team and would not lose their deterrence. Then send four people to push a car from the bamboo bridge, push the silver to a place fifty paces away, and then turn back to the hostage, and wait for the other party to inspect the goods and rescue the hostage from the bamboo bridge.

When stacking silver bricks, Zhao Xiang was also unhurried, and every time he picked up a piece, he had to lift it up before putting it in the box. Eighty dollars took a long time to get it right. On the other side, I only saw Zhao Xiang put the silver brick code in, but he didn't see that there were two glass bottles of transparent liquid in each box.

The four captains took on the task of transporting the silver bricks, and Zhao Xiang gathered them together to explain a few words, and then let them push the cart across the bridge.

When the box was opened, the glass cork in the box was pulled out, and the clear liquid flowed everywhere. The person inspecting the goods smelled the smell and didn't care, but then he felt that his eyes were really spicy, and he shouted in horror: "Poisonous! ”

Four arrows shot out of the bushes and headed straight for the four captains. But all four of them easily dodged, and in a flash they rushed into the bushes, followed by screams.

Tian Qi, who had taken a hundred steps back, had already rushed to this side with his brother.

Zhao Xiang ordered the arrows to be released. Eighty arrows flew out and landed around the four boxes, blocking the bandits alive.

Two deadly bandits rushed towards the box, and just as they picked up the silver bricks, a new round of arrows came again, shooting them into hedgehogs. The four captains took advantage of this gap to free the hostages from the stake and bring them back.

"The officers and soldiers are coming, run!" Qian Million, who was hanging from a tree, suddenly yelled at the other side, and his fat ass twisted hard.

Zhao Xiang patted Pan Laoer: "Shoot it, it's annoying to watch." ”

Pan Lao Er nodded, an arrow left the string, passed through Qian Million's neck, and the blood flowed down like a waterfall, and his body twitched in the air, and soon he lost his life.

Qian million to death can't believe that he lost his life like this, he has invaded the farmland of a small family countless times, but he didn't expect that this time the idea of hitting a temple will be gone, is this retribution?
