Chapter Twenty-Six: Self-Respect

200,000 taels ......

This is undoubtedly an astronomical amount.

Black Wind Village: This is ...... Extort?

But why is it blackmailed to the head of the lord of the city, does the lord of the city look rich? Or does the lord of this city look like a bully?

At this time, Xiao Yue'er also hurried over, worried: "Li Changan, it's not good, the saltpeter mine has been hijacked by Heifeng Village." ”

She rushed from Xiao's house, she was so tired that she couldn't breathe, and beads of sweat slid down her forehead, dripping into the placket of her clothes, and getting wet.

Li Changan calmed himself down, couldn't mess up his senses, and nodded lightly: "I know, do you know what the situation is in this Black Wind Village?" ”

Xiao Yue'er swallowed her saliva and nodded: "Black Wind Village appeared near the border city five years ago, stationed in Wangyue Mountain, because the border city is down, and the city lord's mansion is ...... If you don't have the strength to manage this group of robbers, let them stay there. ”

After speaking, she also glanced at Li Changan.

Mochizuki Mountain is not far away, about fifteen miles northwest of the border city, and the general outline can be seen from the city lord's mansion, which is almost three hundred meters high.

As the so-called side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, let a gang of robbers be stationed nearby for five years, which shows how depressed the border city is.

Li Changan continued to ask, "What is their strength?" ”

Xiao Yue'er said: "There are three masters in Heifeng Village, the big boss silver high-level, the second master silver intermediate level, and the third master silver beginner level, and there are more than 50 minions of all sizes under his hands, if the city lord wants to fight, my Xiao family also has guards, and Fu Bo is the strength of the silver middle level." ”

"Can't fight!"

Li Changan shook his head and vetoed it directly.

An Zhaoran is only a beginner level of silver, Fu Bo is a middle level of silver, but the other party has three silver, even if he can beat it, the other party still has hostages in his hands, once the ticket is torn up, then it will be a big problem.

There are more than 30 people who are mining, and if they are killed, it will affect more than 30 families, and the hearts of other civilians will be cold, and the people's hearts that they have built up with great difficulty will collapse, which will be very detrimental to the development of the border city.

An Zhaoran was angry and helpless, "Then what should I do?" Do you want to give money? That's 200,000 taels! ”

Xiao Yue'er said: "The Xiao family can take out 50,000 taels, and if they sell some more things, they can get 70,000 taels in three days." ”

Li Changan said to her: "Thank you." ”

So much money is also very painful for the Xiao family, Xiao Yue'er can take it out without hesitation, it is not easy, she did not mistake her as a friend.

An Zhaoran said: "I can also take out 10,000 taels." ”

"Oh, so you have your own little coffer." Li Changan immediately looked at her with a smile.

An Zhaoran glared at Li Changan, "At this time, you are still in the mood to laugh, this is the dowry I secretly saved, and you have to pay me back in the future." ”

Li Changan laughed casually: "If I marry you, I don't have to pay it back." ”

"Whew!"

An Zhaoran's pretty face instantly turned red like a cloud, and he grabbed Li Changan's arm and twisted it angrily.

"Hiss-I was wrong, good sister, it's awkward, I'm going to break ......"

"Hmph, next time you dare to talk nonsense, I can't spare you!" An Zhaoran snorted and let go of Li Changan.

"The old slave also has two thousand taels."

"Father-in-law Hai, don't take out your pension money."

Xiaohe blushed and whispered, "Slave maid only...... There is only one ...... One or two ......"

Li Changan touched her head and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

Then he glanced at the people around him and said with a smile: "I don't need everyone's money for the time being, if there is really no way, I won't be polite to you." ”

After a while, a slave trotted over and said respectfully, "Lord of the city, the housekeepers of the Wang family and the Sun family ask to see you." ”

The Wang family and the Sun family?

Li Changan's eyes flashed slightly, "Take them to the hall to see me." ”

Soon, Li Changan came to the hall and saw two people dressed as housekeepers, the Wang family's housekeeper had a goatee, and the Sun family's was a fat man with a big belly.

The two of them just saluted Li Changan and said, "I've seen the city lord." ”

Li Changan made a gesture of please, "Please sit down, I don't know what you are doing here?" ”

"There's no need to sit down, we're just going to come over and talk to the city lord about a business, and we'll leave after the talk."

"Please."

The housekeeper of the Wang family stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Our family master heard that Heifeng Village has hijacked the saltpeter mine, and he is concerned about the safety of the border city, so he specially asked me to tell the city lord that if the city lord's mansion is short of money, we can help." ”

The housekeeper of the Sun family touched his big belly and said with a smile: "Our Sun family also thinks the same, doesn't Heifeng Village ask for 200,000 taels?" Just now we were still talking about it, my two families can make up this money. ”

Li Changan's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and he said in surprise: "Is this true?" ”

Did you misunderstand them before? Are they actually good people?

However, before Li Changan's impression of them improved, he listened to the words of the Wang family's housekeeper.

"We can pay the money to the city lord first, but our two families are small businesses, and we have to support our families, and this money can't be in vain, so I hope the city lord will pay it back according to the monthly interest rate of five wen."

Five cents per month?!

Scold!

Good guys, so it's waiting here!

Li Changan sneered inwardly.

What is the concept of monthly interest five cents, five percent of the interest will be repaid a month, 200,000 taels of interest alone will be 10,000 taels a month, and the interest will roll over later, why don't they grab it?!

According to the current income of the City Lord's Mansion, the money earned every month is not enough to pay off the interest.

Once Li Changan agrees to this request, then the City Lord's Mansion will owe the Wang and Sun families a debt that will never be repaid! In the future, the city lord's mansion will work for the two families of Wang and Sun, which is really a good calculation!

Small business? Bring home the bacon? It's really a dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth!

I thought they had found out with their conscience, and it turned out to be stinky shit!

Li Changan said expressionlessly: "The kindness of the two city lords has been received, please go back!" ”

The housekeeper of the Sun family couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, what else is there to hesitate about, if you want to make up 200,000 taels in three days, no one else will be able to take it out except us, and we are also thinking about the border city." ”

The housekeeper of the Wang family smiled and said: "Lord of the city, please think about it quickly, if the Black Wind Village tears up the ticket, it will be a big blow to the border city, once this person's heart is scattered, it will not be easy to bring." ”

"Grandpa Hai, send off!"

Father-in-law Hai immediately walked in front of the two of them and said coldly: "Two, don't send it away!" ”

"Farewell!"

The two butlers arched their hands and swaggered away.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Li Changan's eyes slowly narrowed, and a cold light flashed.

Gonggong Hai scolded: "The two families of Wang and Sun are simply wolf ambitions and delusions!" City Lord, we must not agree to their requests. ”

"Don't worry, I know."

Li Changan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What a trick to raise Kou's self-respect, the two families of Wang and Sun want to be the soil emperors of the border city!" ”
