Chapter 330: Speaking for the Landlord
Xiao Yuan saw that the other party was strong, and he only came to ask for money, and he didn't want to kill people, if he could spend money to avoid disasters, this would be the best solution in front of him, he thought about it, and immediately turned back to an old man next to him and said: "Butler, go to the account room and get twenty gold coins, all of which should be our sponsorship fee for the heroes to build a mountain fortress." ”
"Twenty gold coins? Phew, are you calling Hanako?"
The square-faced man became angry when he heard this, he frowned, and immediately yelled at Xiao Yuanwai angrily: "I see that you old guy is asking for money and not dying, believe it or not, I'll cut off a few heads for you now." ”
"The hero is angry. ”
Seeing that the other party was about to go berserk, Xiao Yuanwai certainly didn't want to exacerbate the matter, so he hurriedly interrupted the other party's words and said: "The hero doesn't know, the local government is also in a hurry to expand the army recently, and has made us pay the wartime security tax for several months, and at the same time, it is the time to be busy with farming, and a lot of money has been invested, and we really don't have much cash to give you at the moment, so please forgive me, if possible, we will prepare more gifts in the future to honor the heroes." ”
"Phew, don't give me hardship, you have money to give to the government, no money Lao Tzu, what are you to us?"
The square-faced man didn't listen to Xiao Yuanwai's words at all, he raised his eyebrows and shouted viciously to his subordinates: "Brothers, tie up this surnamed Xiao for me, and by the way, grab two more women for us to taste, hmph! If his family doesn't come up with a thousand gold coins, just wait to collect the body of this old man Xiao." ”
"Yes!"
More than a dozen people on the other side came up and were about to make a move after answering.
"Stop!"
I had to shout, and I broke off with confidence.
When the dozen or so bandits on the other side heard this majestic and high-pitched shout, they all stopped in fright, and suddenly threw their stunned eyes in my direction, because they could all hear that the strength of that person was probably the lowest four-star fighter.
Four-star fighters, this strength is higher than the square-faced man on the other side, how can this make them not nervous?
With a light but sharp gaze, I looked at the twenty or so people opposite, the other party was going to be rough, I couldn't watch the excitement in the back anymore, although I don't like to show my strength in front of people, because it will create a lot of problems for myself, but I can't watch someone being kidnapped by bandits in public, let alone the people of the Xiao family.
Under the gaze of everyone, I walked steadily to the middle of the field.
Seeing me come out, Xiao Yuanwai's eyes suddenly flashed with joy, and at this moment he had confidence again, and immediately shouted to the twenty or so people of the square-faced man: " Everyone, I just promised to give you twenty gold coins, just because I don't want to have a conflict with you, my Xiao Mansion is not no one, my nephew Ling Shi is a four-star fighter, and he has the strength of a magician, so I think this matter will end here, I don't want to embarrass you, I will still give you twenty gold coins today, just to meet a few more friends, but from now on, we will not interfere with the river water, and we will no longer be embarrassed by each other, what do you think?"
I froze and stood there, swallowing back the fierce and intimidating words that I had prepared, and it seemed that Xiao Yuanwai still wanted to solve the problem in a peaceful way.
It is estimated that Xiao Yuanwai thinks that I can't take these people alone, and even if I really have the strength, but there are more than 20 people on the other side, it will be quite dangerous for the Xiao family and me to really fight, Xiao Yuanwai doesn't want me to fight with the other party, which is understandable, and even if I really beat these people away today, if I have a feud, when I leave, their Xiao family will still have endless trouble.
Therefore, it is wise to settle it peacefully, and it should be regarded as spending money to buy peace.
I just don't want to show my strength, I don't want to fight, it's better to solve it like this.
However, I heard Xiao Yuanwai say that I am a four-star fighter, and he said that I announced the strength in school, at this moment I already know what Xiao Sheng said in the letter, Xiao Sheng must have said in the letter that I am a four-star fighter who is less than twenty years old, which is a very rare cultivation in the city, not to mention the countryside, so Xiao Yuanwai called me my nephew after reading the letter.
With a grim brow, the square-faced man gave me a fierce look, and after his eyes rolled quickly, his face shook a few times, and he suddenly yelled at Xiao Yuanwai: "Hmph! Do you use a milky little hairy child to scare us? We are all people who have been on the battlefield, crawling out of the dead body, are we still afraid of a little hairy child?" But for the sake of you, an old guy, we are still considerate, let's also take a step, today you take out 500 gold coins, even if we completely solve our affairs, otherwise, even if we fight for our brother's life today, we will also flatten your Xiao family. ”
Hearing the square-faced man say this, the eyes of more than 20 people on the other side showed a fierce light again, and the eyes that looked at me again also had a trace of contempt, yes, if it is a cultivator with a four-star fighter, the little hairy child who will be scared to pee when he sees blood is not afraid at all, they are no longer afraid of me at this moment.
The gaze is still indifferent, I stand here majestically, looking at the other party's contemptuous eyes as nothing, using the strength of my seven-star fighter to deal with these people, just like cutting melons and vegetables, however, I don't want to use such a strong strength, if I can buy the peace of the Xiao Mansion with a little money, this is also the result I want to see.
Blind killing does not solve all problems, and surviving in troubled times depends more on wisdom.
But the corners of Xiao Yuanwai's eyes next to him were shaking violently, and at this moment Xiao Yuanwai's head was already oozing sweat, of course he didn't know my strength, and he could see that he really couldn't take out the 500 gold coins at the moment, but the other party was in a hurry, so he decided to slaughter him, and after thinking about it, he was busy and said stiffly: "What are you doing here?" Even if you flatten my Xiao family, you will also suffer heavy losses, and my Xiao family village, there are thousands of people, after you are injured, can they spare you?"
The helpless Xiao Yuanwai obviously didn't want to be suppressed by the momentum of the other party's more than 20 people, what he meant at the moment was obviously to say, there are more of us than you, we have thousands of people, and the entire Xiaojia Village is our people, even if they can kill a few of us, the thousands of people in Xiaojia Village can still kill them.
"Hahaha!"
The square-faced man laughed exaggeratedly, and then pointed in the direction of the village outside and shouted: "Do you want the tenants and peasants around you to work hard for you, the landlord? ”
The three-star fighter's square-faced man had a loud voice at the moment, and his voice could be heard far away, and it was estimated that the entire Xiaojia Village could be heard.
But what made Xiao Yuanwai even more embarrassed was that after the voice of the square-faced man stopped, the entire village outside was surprisingly quiet, without any sound, as if there was only one of us in the whole village now, which verified the words of the square-faced man, these farmers were unwilling to go out for Xiao Yuan.
In fact, it seems to me that this is not surprising, the landlord and the tenant are basically two groups of people on opposite sides, and the contradiction between them lies in the fundamental conflict of interests, which is difficult to reconcile. If you want to satisfy the tenants, it is equivalent to making the landlord's own interests suffer, so few landlords can handle this conflict very well, let alone let them help themselves hard, so there will be an unusually quiet scene at the moment, and the face of Xiao Yuanwai is already very ugly.
"Want to fight hard? Wow, I think you have a few lives to fight for. ”
Taking two steps forward, I once again broke the entanglement and anxiety of the Xiao family at the moment with a deep and calm voice, at this time I had to stand up and speak, I couldn't see the Xiao family being blackmailed by the group of bandits in front of me at will.
At this moment, my clear attitude is tantamount to provocation, and this is tantamount to slapping the other party's face in the face, and the square-faced man suddenly became angry and said: "Little cub, if you are tired of being crooked, we can kill you immediately!"
"My life is here! If you have the ability, just come and take it, master, I'm watching you." ”
I said with a smile and a breezy voice.
Then I took a steel knife from the hand of a man next to me, walked steadily into the middle of the field, and looked at the faces that had become charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a gaze that looked like I had seen a meat skewer about to be kebab
