246 Duncan's Self-Help
"He's not just raiding here." Chen Xiansong smiled, he decided to add another fire to the angry Ze Long'er: "He also wants to force me to hand over the recipe for making salt, and wants to bring the recipe back to Emperor Fall City." ”
As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, and sure enough, as soon as Ze Long'er heard this, his face immediately turned from cold to calm, but the fierce light flashing in his eyes from time to time proved how turbulent and turbulent his heart was. The City Lord's Mansion worked hard to find a way to make money, and all kinds of black roads were used, and after decades of frugality, he saved more than 100,000 gold coins. And if the plan for the salt mine is launched, excluding labor costs, he conservatively estimates that the family will be able to get at least four or five hundred gold coins every month, which is more than three times the monthly book income of the City Lord's Mansion, and this business is very long-term, so that the family will not bother with money for hundreds of years.
But now, someone dares to fight his family's idea of wealth. A hundred gold coins can make a mercenary go out of his way to assassinate a small nobleman, and ten thousand gold coins can make a bunch of madmen assassinate a nobleman. In this way, no matter how many times Duncan died, he couldn't make Zelonger really calm down in his heart.
Four blood-soaked City Lord's Mansion guards walked in: "Young Master, the people outside have all been cleaned up. ”
"So fast?" Zeron asked.
One of the guards replied, "Ms. Bai Qianxin alone almost knocked them all unconscious, and we are only responsible for bloodletting." So naturally faster. ”
Hearing this, Duncan and his two guards could already see their bodies trembling visibly.
"Can you let me take this guy with me?" Zelonger pointed at Ken: "Don't worry, I'll let this guy die a miserable death." This is your home, and you don't want to get dirty. ”
"Please." Chen Xiansong shrugged his shoulders, Ze Long'er took the initiative to take this trouble into his body, and he couldn't ask for it.
A word was like a thorny whip whipping Duncan's, and his handsome face turned pale and distorted with fear. Now in this case, lust has faded from his head, and the reason that was once expelled from madness because of interests has returned to him, at this time, he finally realized how much mistake he had made, and then, many things were connected, for what was the reason why some time ago when he reported the news to Riccardo, the other party had not moved, and when the matter of salt production came out. After he reported it, a notice came down from above, and then he hurriedly took the notice to send him to death, and Ricardo counted all his actions.
"Riccardo, you dare to me." Duncan who figured things out. The face is even worse.
Originally, the Bauhinia family was just biased towards Rika and one more. Not completely thrown into the arms of the other party. But as long as he has an accident in Qingxi City, the family will definitely fall to Ricarer, and he Duncan is a pawn to be sacrificed. A person from a big family like him is born noble and extraordinary, no matter how undeniable he is. In the future, you can also mix up the lowest title with the help of the family, of course, more or less territory, with or without it. That's another story.
It's just that a noble person like him has become an abandoned son used by others to transfer contradictions, which makes him embarrassed by the always arrogant and arrogant. At most, he and Chen Xiansong were just a battle of wills and beauty, but Riccardo's approach made him feel that his self-esteem had been greatly hit.
"Can you spare my life?" Duncan looked at Chen Xiansong with a pale face, although his lips were trembling slightly, and then even his eyebrows were tangled into the appearance of an earthworm, even if he was begging for mercy from the enemy, but his voice was still very steady, still with a bit of arrogance unique to the great nobles: "If you kill me, it will only allow your enemies to succeed, leave me alive, and you can avoid a lot of trouble, I think from the perspective of the interests of the nobles, this is a very good choice." ”
Chen Xiansong was a little surprised by the other party's performance, in this environment, in such a psychological state, he could still straighten out his head, and then express his meaning fluently, this is not something that ordinary gentlemen can do, and he suddenly became a little interested: "Spare your life, okay!" The reason, it is easy for you to convince me, but it is probably a little difficult to convince His Excellency Zelonger. ”
Duncan took a deep breath, put his right hand to his mouth, and bit hard, blood flowing. The intense pain made his brain more and more awake, and the blood seemed to drip down in front of his clothes, and when he felt that he was not so nervous, he put down his hand, and at this time, Ze Long'er, who was standing behind him, clearly looked at the white phalanges that had sunken a little under the blood-red tooth marks.
It takes a lot of effort to do this, and people who are so ruthless to themselves are not common among nobles, Ze Longer is also a little interested, he suppressed his killing intent, and said slowly: "You speak slowly, if you have time, if I think it sounds good, I can spare your life, besides, don't want to use your family background to press me." We are a military family, and we just listen to your orders in normal times, and at critical moments, the army is not something that can be fooled casually. ”
"I know the way!" Duncan took a breath, turned to Ze Long'er and said: "I figured out something just now, Riccardo issued a notice, he guessed what I would do, if I kill His Excellency Chen Xiansong, it will naturally be better for him, on the contrary, I was killed by Chen Xiansong, which is also within his expectations, and then my family will completely list His Excellency Chen Xiansong as a mortal enemy, and not killing is not enough to save the honor of a big family, even if he is a soul thinker." ”
Ze Longer sneered: "He has two Sun God Servant guards, and more than a hundred elite guards trained by Sun God Servants, your family wants to kill him, why should you scold him to death with your mouth?" If the army is used, hehe, you will make our city lord's mansion just sit on the sidelines and watch the show? ”
"Indeed, it is really difficult to kill His Excellency Chen Xiansong." The more Duncan spoke, the calmer he became, and he explained, "However, multiple enemies are not good after all, do you say yes, Your Excellency Zelonger." Moreover, I understand my father's character, if he can't deal with His Excellency Chen Xiansong, then he will definitely take his anger out on the entire Black Rock City, and your City Lord's Mansion will definitely be involved. ”
Ze Long'er's eyes became sharp in an instant, and he let out a breath of low airflow, and said slowly: "Are you threatening me?" ”
"No, I'm just stating a fact." Maybe it was because he was too nervous and emotional not long ago, Duncan's mouth was dry now, and his voice gradually became hoarse: "Although I am not particularly important in the family, as long as I have an accident, my father will definitely completely fall to Riccardo's side, a Bauhinia family may only make you feel a little troublesome, but if you add Riccardo's strength, I think it will be very difficult for you to deal with it." ”
In order not to anger the two people in front of him, Duncan was already speaking very clearly. In Ze Long'er's calculations, if you offend both the Bauhinia family and Ricarer, their power is huge, it is equivalent to offending several big families at the same time, even if the city lord's mansion is a military family, no matter how confident you are, you will definitely feel furious when you encounter this situation.
Thinking of this, Ze Long'er nodded: "I admit that you have a lot of sense, but do you think you can decide a family's plan or intention yourself, and you have the ability?" ”
"I really don't have that ability, but I can try to say good things about you, I was treated as an outcast by Riccardo, and if my father knew about it, even if he continued to cooperate with Riccardo, he would not be as close as before." Duncan felt that he was a little short of words, and bit his right hand again, a mouth, and his teeth turned red: "But if I die here, you will really have to deal with two deep-rooted big families at the same time, you are both elites among the nobles, and the pros and cons, I think the two of you should be able to calculate clearly." ”
Ze Long'er pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, what do you think?" ”
In fact, he had already agreed with Duncan's statement, and he was going to let him go and ask Chen Xiansong, just to show respect for him.
Chen Xiansong nodded: "He has a point, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them." It's just that he led people to break in like this, and slashed around my house, someone must have been injured, and someone might have died, so he patted his ass and let him go, I don't think the mood is very smooth, do you have any good ideas. ”
"Discount his limbs and arms, so that he can't connect them for three days." After all, Zelong'er has dealt with internal affairs for a long time, and he knows a lot about this aspect of affairs, and he also knows how to punish a nobleman they can't kill: "In addition, let him compensate for all the losses, and at the same time ask him to write a letter to inform his family and send someone to pay a sufficient ransom." Lord Duncan, how much do you think you should be worth? ”
"Twenty thousand gold coins." Duncan didn't think about it, and replied directly: "I know my father, this is definitely his bottom line." I have several heirs in my family, and I am not particularly important, and my father will not pay more for me. ”
Hearing this, Ze Longer nodded to Chen Xiansong, indicating that the number was acceptable.
Chen Xiansong thought for a while and said: "Then let him stay here for a while, and when Sister Qianxin comes back, I will ask the village about the injury first, if someone dies, then I have to take him and ask the villagers how to deal with him, otherwise I can't explain it to the villagers." ”
Duncan breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Xiansong's words seemed to him to be a way out. Even if his subordinates killed someone in the village and he was dragged over for trial, those villagers would not dare to let him exchange his life for a life, at most he would make more money, and the problems that could be solved with gold coins were not a big problem.
After knowing that his life was not in danger, Duncan finally found that his strength was almost exhausted, he propped his hands on the table, walked to the chair next to him, and sat down slowly, he saw a large pool of blood where he was standing just now, and then he raised his right hand, and found that the place where his index finger and the tiger's mouth were already bloody and fleshy, and the bones were white. The entire palm has turned red.
It was only then that he felt a terrible pain in his right hand. (To be continued......)
