16.Chapter 16
"Changqi, the one million dollars from the sale of tigers, plus the money from the sale of other prey, can be divided according to the head, one person can share more than 8,000 yuan, how about the five of you take 45,000 yuan?"
Chen Xu was afraid of implicating Li Guo and wanted to send him away first.
Selling the tiger, Chen Xu walked up to Li Guo and said in a low voice.
As soon as he came to the door of Zhang's mansion, he saw that there were only more than fifty Zhang family slaves at the door to maintain order, and Chen Xu felt that something was wrong.
The Zhang family is a big family in Puyang, and there are hundreds of guests and slaves in the clan. Yesterday, Zhang Qiwei made a strong momentum and led more than 40 house slaves who were like wolves and tigers to see the tigers.
Looking back today, although there are more than 50 people at Zhang's house, most of them do not have a fierce look on their faces, but they look like honest tenants.
If this is the case, where did the Zhang family's house slaves and doormen go?
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xu knew the Zhang family's plan. They were nothing more than angry that they were blackmailed by Chen Xu, and sent all the doormen and house slaves out to ambush Chen Xu and others on their way home.
If they want to wait until Chen Xu and the others return, they will kill people and seize the wealth again, and then blame the thieves for this matter, and at most find a few more substitutes for the dead ghosts, even if everyone knows that this matter is done by the Zhang family, what can they do with the Zhang family?
"Seeing that I exchanged my money for food, and asked the grain seller to send the grain to Chenjia Village, don't you dare to intercept it halfway, right?"
Chen Xu sneered in his heart, Father Zhang had just sent a henchman out, and Chen Xu, who had been paying attention to him, had already seen it.
No matter how unscrupulous the Zhang family was, they didn't dare to do anything to many wealthy people in Puyang, so they had to send someone to recall the people who were ambushed halfway.
When Li Guo heard this, he was flattered, but he hurriedly refused: "The big worm can sell so much money, and all the credit belongs to Da Lang, how dare we take so much property?" ”
Although his family is not wealthy, he is very righteous and not greedy for money.
And he knew very well that Chen Xu took a great risk to sell the Tiger for 1 million, and he didn't want to take advantage of Chen Xu.
With 45,000 yuan, each of the five of them can get 9,000 yuan.
In this Han Dynasty, which was dominated by farming, the most expensive ploughing ox would not exceed 8,000 yuan, and if you only bought half a large ploughing ox, 9,000 yuan could buy two.
Although this money is nothing to a large family, for Li Guo and others, it is tantamount to a huge amount of money, and Li Guo can refuse, and his character can be seen.
"Brother Changqi has to be postponed, if this trip is not Changqi, I don't want to talk about hunting tigers, and even the children of the clan are very likely to die in the tiger's mouth."
"Besides, the Zhang family is by no means a good type, and the eldest brother is still about to lead the clansmen away. I know that his righteousness is profound, but I also have to think about the elders in the township, if I get involved in the battle between us and the Zhang family, I am afraid that it will cause disaster to the township. ”
Chen Xu was afraid that Li Guo would not leave, so he said it very seriously.
Li Guo's face was cloudy, and after a while, he gave Chen Xu a salute and said: "Today, I will lead the four brothers of the clan back to their hometown, and when the parents at home are arranged, they will definitely come to help, and Dalang will not refuse at that time." ”
After speaking, Li Guo took the money, took the four teenagers who came with him, turned around and left without saying a word.
Li Guo knew that Chen Xu would have to find trouble sooner or later, but he was also afraid of affecting his parents at home, so he took his belongings back to settle his family.
Seeing Li Guo leave, Chen Xu was moved in his heart, he had only known Li Guo for a few days, but he didn't want this person to be afraid of the power of the Zhang family, and insisted on coming to help, and he was really a righteous husband.
Li Guo's words about coming to help were full of sincerity, and Chen Xu did not doubt the authenticity of these words at all.
……
After working for more than an hour, almost all the millions of dollars were spent, and a total of more than 3,600 stones of corn were purchased, a total of more than 100 carts, escorted by the sellers, and rushed to Chenjia Village.
Seeing the team carrying the grain leaving, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he found an excuse to stay in Puyang alone, and then walked towards Zhangfu empty-handed.
Seeing Chen Xu coming, the four people guarding the door took their weapons and said to Chen Xu viciously: "Why are you coming to my Zhang Mansion?" ”
These people have a fierce momentum all over their bodies, far from being comparable to the more than fifty people in the morning.
They had never seen Chen Xu carrying the big worm alone, although some people knew Chen Xu, but they were not afraid.
Seeing that there had been a change of person at the gate of Zhang's Mansion, Chen Xu was not surprised, and said at the moment: "I have another big deal to trade with Zhang's Mansion, you just have to go and inform your master." ”
The gatekeeper naturally knew that his master had just been cheated by the person in front of him, and he heard that Chen Xu still wanted to come to do 'business', and his face was not good.
As the so-called 'lord humiliates the minister to death', although the Zhang family is said to be a disaster in the township, but it is not bad for their own house slaves and doormen, and when they saw that Chen Xu still dared to come to the door, some people wanted to come forward to teach Chen Xu a lesson.
One of them was quite clever, and felt that Chen Xu was not easy to deal with, so he said loudly: "Don't do it first, let's tell the master about the matter, if there is an order from the master, it's not too late to do it again." ”
The rest of the people had also heard of Chen Xu's reputation, but they knew that their master hated the person in front of them, and if they didn't make a gesture when they saw Chen Xu, they would inevitably make the master unhappy in the future.
Now that the gesture has been done, and Chen Xu didn't say anything provocative, they all 'snorted' at the moment, retreated to the door, and stared at Chen Xu with an unkind expression.
The house slave who said just now ran to the yard to inform Zhang's father.
It didn't take long to see Zhang's father and Zhang Qi come out with more than 20 people, all of them holding sharp knives and staring at Chen Xu viciously.
Father Zhang's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that you still have to do business with us, the courage of young people is really good." ”
Chen Xu exchanged the money for food, and asked the grain seller to send the grain to Chenjia Village, which made his plan to rob halfway fail, and he was furious at home at this time, thinking about how to take revenge on Chenjia Village.
But I don't want Chen Xu to know what to do, and dare to come to Zhang's door at this time and say that he wants to do 'business', no wonder Zhang's father has a gloomy face.
Zhang Qi also stared at Chen Xu with a distorted face, his eyes breathing fire.
was cheated by Chen Xu once, and Zhang's father taught Zhang Qi a hard lesson, so that his hatred for Chen Xu reached its peak, and he was bent on revenge.
Chen Xu didn't answer, but stared at the weapons held by the slaves of the Zhang family, and said slowly: "Your Zhangfu's knives are good, but it's a pity that all your subordinates are a group of straw bales." ”
'A soldier may be killed, but not dishonored'.
Although many of the people who followed Zhang's father were slaves of the Zhang family, there were also some customers recruited by the Zhang family.
When these people heard this, their faces turned red one by one, they scolded, pulled out the weapons in their hands, and were about to step forward to fight with Chen Xu, but they didn't want to be stopped by Zhang's father.
Although the crowd of onlookers in the morning has dispersed, some people passing by the gate of Zhang's Mansion saw that there was a lively scene, and they all called friends to come to watch, and after a while, there were many people gathered here.
"What the hell do you have to talk about?" Although Zhang's father resented Chen Xu, when he saw that there were more and more onlookers, he couldn't retaliate in public, so he could only suppress the anger in his chest and ask out loud.
Chen Xu didn't answer, his legs were slightly bent, his body was full of strength, and then, like a predatory beast, he quickly ran towards Zhang Qi's father and son, knocked over one of them with one punch, and then pinched their necks.
As soon as Zhang's father's voice fell, he saw Chen Xu rushing towards him, and he immediately felt bad.
was about to hide behind the house slave, but he didn't want Chen Xu's movements to be as fast as lightning, and he subdued the two of them at once.
The house slaves of Zhang's mansion were shocked when they saw their masters being attacked.
They didn't expect that in Puyang City, under the blue sky and white sun, Chen Xu was alone, and he dared to hurt people empty-handed.
Everyone wanted to attack Chen Xu, but they saw that he pinched Zhang's father and Zhang Qi's necks with both hands, as long as he used a little force, the two of them would immediately lose their lives, and everyone did not dare to act rashly at the moment.
"Chen Xu, you dare to hurt people in public, is there any royal law in your eyes?"
Zhang's father was dizzy from being punched by Chen Xu just now, but fortunately Chen Xu didn't use all his strength, otherwise he would have killed someone with one punch.
At this time, he sobered up a little, and when he saw that his neck was pinched by Chen Xu, he was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly said.
Chen Xu carried the two of them, with a slight force in his hands, and sneered: "If you know the royal law, how can my Chenjia Village's fields be burned?" ”
Zhang's father's face turned red, he felt that he couldn't breathe, and his heart was full of fear.
Looking at Zhang Qi again, I saw that his face was full of horror, and he begged for mercy repeatedly: "Ahem, it is my fault to send someone to burn the fields of Chenjia Village, and I also ask Da Lang's subordinates to be merciful, and we will double the compensation for all the losses in Chenjia Village." ”
Chen Xu hurt people here, and everyone in the audience was startled at first, and when they heard what Zhang Qi said, they all booed.
In this era, destroying people's fields is a great crime, and it is to form a mortal enmity with others.
When Zhang's father heard Zhang Qi's words, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he was about to faint, and he couldn't help but secretly scold his son for being stupid.
At this time, how can you admit to the burning of the fields in Chenjia Village?
If he denies it, even if Chen Xu kills the two, it will be 'not right, and his words are not good', if Chen Xu cares about his reputation, the two may not be fine.
But now, Zhang Qi personally admitted that he sent someone to do it, even if he killed the two of them, others would not say that Chen Xu was lawless and killed people indiscriminately, but would say that he killed people in anger because he couldn't bear the bullying.
At this time, Zhang's father could only hope that Chen Xu's subordinates would show mercy.
Chen Xu pinched Zhang's father's hand and let go, Zhang's father took a breath, and scolded angrily: "You rebel, you dare to do such a thing, if I had known earlier, I would have broken your dog's leg." ”
Hearing Zhang's father's words, Zhang Qi also reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "I know it's wrong, Ah Weng often teaches me to be a good man, and I regret not listening to Ah Weng's words, this matter has nothing to do with the rest of my family, and I asked Da Lang to let my father go first." ”
Zhang Qi burst into tears at this time, not knowing whether he was frightened or because of remorse.
Chen Xu didn't pay attention to Zhang Qi, but just scolded angrily: "Dog thief, don't talk about it again." When you were flying high, forcibly buying fields, destroying people's crops, and running rampant in the countryside, did you ever think that there would be today? ”
"The strong man also asks his subordinates to be merciful, we don't know about my son's burning of the fields in Chenjia Village, as long as you can release my beloved and his son, we are willing to compensate you ten times according to the loss."
At this moment, Zhang's mother came out with a group of people, saw her husband and son being held hostage, and then saw Chen Xu gritting her teeth, for fear that he would kill people in a moment of excitement, so she hurriedly said out loud.
