Chapter Eighty-Five: Sword Qi (Part II)
Xiao Ziyang was not silent for too long, but in the feelings of Tang Pei and the others, it seemed that the sky was about to dawn. Xiao Ziyang's sneer suddenly came from his ears, which made the hearts of the two of them even higher. "Blinded, how did he blind the two of them?" The coldness in Xiao Ziyang's voice made the roots of their teeth a little sour.
Tang Pei hurriedly said: "The seniors are angry, the clerk sent a message to the two of us, framing the seniors as the real red silk guest, the red silk guest killed by the predecessor a year ago is actually a stand-in for the senior, this is the senior's golden cicada shell plan." ”
Although he had long known about the poisonous plan of the clerk, Xiao Ziyang was still surging with anger in his heart at this time.
At this time, the clerk only felt a bitterness in his heart, thinking that he had used the power of a lion to fight a rabbit against a wanderer, and there was no reason to do it. How could I have thought that Xiao Ziyang would become a top master.
It seems that this person is not a wanderer, and there must be an amazing background behind him. The domestic martial arts sect in Xiliang is extremely powerful, the six thousand-year-old sects are more like a country within a country, and the county government where the mountain gate of the six major sects is located, and the orders of the imperial court are almost impossible to get out of the yamen.
Those famous families, martial arts families, not only have huge power in the local area, but also have spokespeople in the imperial court.
Looking at Xiao Ziyang's eyes that were almost spewing fire, the clerk only felt a chill all over his body.
Xiao Ziyang retracted his gaze, and looked at the two people in front of him who were still bowing and clenching their fists, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, "Oh, it's really a good plan, so do you two believe it?"
Tang Peizhi said that at this time, if he was clever and quibble, it would only anger this person, it was best to tell the truth, lower his posture, as long as he could get out tonight, and after he went back, he would either give a heavy gift or ask someone to intercede, and there would be room for maneuver.
"Back to the seniors, the clerk promised me five thousand taels of silver each, and the two of us were fascinated by the wealth brocade; ”
"Five thousand taels? My head doesn't seem to be worth much. Xiao Ziyang sneered, "It's good that you two are villains, but I'm not an adult, hmph!
"I have no such intention, the two of us have made such a big mistake, and we should be punished, that is, the seniors want to kill us on the spot, and we have no complaints, but the ants still spare their lives, and only ask the seniors to spare my life. Tang Pei bowed lower, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he could hear that Xiao Ziyang's voice no longer had the killing intent at the beginning.
"My head is only worth five thousand taels of silver, I wonder how much silver you think your life is worth?" Xiao Ziyang said faintly.
Hearing Xiao Ziyang talk about money, Tang Pei and Jin Shengjie's hearts finally fell to the ground, "I am willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to atone for my sins." Jin Shengjie also hurriedly followed: "I am also willing to pay 100,000 taels to atone for my sins." ”
Xiao Ziyang chuckled, "Okay, the two of you are worthy of being smart people, and I will visit you in ten days, hoping that the two of you will be as smart as you are today." ”
"Thank you for the grace of your predecessors not to kill, your predecessors' martial arts are world-famous, how dare we have the slightest disrespect. The two said in unison.
"Okay, get out!" Xiao Ziyang waved his hand, ignored the two, and turned around and walked outside the clerk.
Xiao Ziyang was furious, and was about to slash this clerk with a heart like a snake and scorpion, when he suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation coming from the clerk's body, which made him shudder, "Magic weapon!"
The clerk looked at Xiao Ziyang's figure walking step by step, his expression was panicked, he touched the jade pendant on his waist, and seemed to have something to rely on.
"It's really a good calculation outside the clerk, 15,000 taels of silver for 150,000 taels of silver, it's really a good deal. Xiao Ziyang's voice did not carry a trace of anger, but it also did not carry a trace of anger.
The clerk took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Ziyang deeply and said: "The old man designed to frame you, it is indeed damned, but for the sake of you and me, please also ask Wu Daxia to temporarily extinguish the wrath of the thunder; I am willing to offer 500,000 taels of silver to make amends with you; after all, the old man is a second-grade member of the court to sue the old man, if you kill me, you will be against the court, and please Wu Daxia think twice." ”
"A rendezvous? Ha, yes, are you also looking at the intersection between you and me, so you not only want to take my life, but also want me to be ruined?" The words that popped out of Xiao Ziyang's teeth made the clerk's heart sink, and he knew that today's things might not be good.
Xiao Ziyang observed him while talking to the clerk, and suddenly a faint burst of colorful brilliance seemed to flash on the jade pendant on the clerk's waist very quickly. But when he looked closely, the brilliance disappeared without a trace, as if it was just his hallucination, but Xiao Ziyang knew that he was absolutely not wrong, and this scene made his heart sink.
"Wu Daxia, the clerk outside the design to frame you really deserve to die, but he is the old court second-class master, if you kill him, the court will definitely send a worship master to hunt you down for the sake of decency; since the clerk is willing to pay 500,000 taels of silver to make amends, why don't you take the money and let him live; Next to him, Liu Bingbei suddenly spoke.
"Hmph, Liu Bingbei, you might as well think about how to let me let you live, don't you think I dare to kill you?" Xiao Ziyang glanced at him coldly and said.
Hearing this, Liu Bingbei took a step back in surprise, and suddenly stepped forward and said angrily: "Hmph! Could it be that you dare to kill the imperial court officials?"
"Hmph! It's really troublesome to kill the court officials, but it's just troublesome. Besides, Liu Bingbei is also in his forties, hmph! I don't know how many years you can still be an official; what I have is patience. After speaking, Xiao Ziyang's sword tip shook.
"You...... Where did I get a hundred thousand taels of silver from the seven-rank military envoy, you ...... Don't push people too hard. Liu Bingbei said with a strong face.
"100,000 taels of silver? No, no, no, no, you are not worth the price, I can sell you 10,000 taels of money for your head." Xiao Ziyang smiled playfully.
"You ......" Liu Bingbei trembled angrily, pointing at Xiao Ziyang speechless.
Xiao Ziyang ignored him anymore, "Although I really want to kill you with a sword, but what this Lord Liu said is also a little reasonable; I said that I would like to divide half of the reward for killing the red silk guest, but now I naturally want to take it all back, as well as the 500,000 taels of your life, and prepare 800,000 taels of silver within five days, and I will take it myself after five days." If you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being merciless with the long knife in my hand when the time comes. ”
After speaking, Xiao Ziyang jumped up to the treetops, tapped the branches with his toes, turned into a cloud of green smoke and disappeared in an instant.
