That night, the young people who returned to their hometown knew that the fields in Chen Hu's house had been destroyed, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, and gathered at Chen Xu's house to demand that Zhang Qi's blood debt be repaid with blood, and Chen Xu and Chen Jing took a lot of effort to appease everyone.

"Big brother, this is the reason why my Chenjia Village has never been bullied." Seeing everyone returning home, Chen Jing waved his arms and shouted: "What I just said, eldest brother, please think twice, if you can sacrifice a little, it can not only protect the blood of Chenjia Village, but also make the eldest brother famous Yangzhou County, why not?" ”

Chen Xu was silent when he heard this, looking at Chen Jing, he thought of a sentence in later generations: People with paranoia and extreme ego are the easiest to succeed.

Regardless of whether this sentence is right or wrong, Chen Jing vividly expresses the word paranoia at this time. When he thinks that something is beneficial to his family, he will do whatever it takes to do it.

This may not be said to be paranoid, and the phrase 'no poison and no husband' is more suitable to describe Chen Jing.

"I'll consider what you say, but for now, it's most important to cure my uncle's illness first."

Weighing the gains and losses for a moment, although he was very tempted by Chen Jing's proposal, Chen Xu did not agree.

Chen Jing had to be depressed when she heard this, and returned home alone.

Early the next morning, Chen's father called Chen Jing and went to Puyang City to invite the Taiping Sect Immortal Master, and Chen Xu also took the children of the clan to the Puyang City Market to deal with many prey.

Puyang is the capital of Dong County, where there are many dignitaries and nobles, and although there are many prey, it did not take long to sell out, and the total amount of money obtained is 15,000 yuan. In the end, only one tiger remained, provoking everyone to watch.

An onlooker looked at the tiger that was more than two meters long and praised it sincerely: "Such a big insect can be hunted, how brave are the children of the Chen family?" ”

"Yes, the 'Three Heroes of the Chen Family' in Chenjia Village are all very human, and they are also fierce and strong, and the children of the clan are united, so that although Chenjia Village is small, outsiders dare not bully."

"I can't see it, I heard that the fields in their village were burned the day before yesterday, and there has been no movement until today, are you afraid of the people who burned the fields?"

"Yes, I heard that the fields of Chen Hu's family, who is still one of the three masters, were burned, as the so-called: destroy people's fields, if you kill your parents, they can endure this breath in Chenjia Village?"

There are also many people with bad intentions on the lookers, who are either jealous of the tiger hunted in Chenjia Village and make sarcastic remarks; or have a grudge against Zhang Qi and want to provoke the anger of Chenjiacun to retaliate.

After knowing the reason for the incident, the onlookers pointed at the children of Chenjia Village for a while......

At the beginning, the children of Chenjia Village heard everyone's praise and held their heads high, their faces overflowing with pride; Later, when I heard the words of the people, they all showed indignation.

At this time, Chen Xu understood the true meaning of Chen Jing's words, 'This revenge is not avenged, although the world is big, there is no place for us'.

He lowered his head and thought secretly: Ah Jing's plan, I didn't agree at first, it seems that I was too indecisive. Those who have achieved great things are not informal, and since they have come to this era, they must live vigorously.

With a flash in his eyes, he had already made up his mind.

Moreover, he knew that troubled times were coming, and he knew better than Chen Jing what great benefits he would have for himself after the planned things were completed.

At this moment, a shouting sounded, and I saw Zhang Qi with thirty or forty house slaves, separated from everyone and came to Chen Xu.

Zhang Qi showed a playful smile on his face: "I haven't seen you in January, Da Lang's demeanor is better than in the past." ”

"Zhang Qi's dog thief, no one cares about deceiving me in Chenjia Village?"

Among the many children of the Chen family, someone recognized Zhang Qi and was furious, and pulled out his sharp blade and was about to step forward to kill Zhang Qi.

Although the children of the Chen family heard Zhang Qi's name, not all of them knew him, and when they heard that the person in front of them was Zhang Qi, the children of the Chen family, who had been talked about by everyone and were already full of anger, were even more angry at this time.

For a while, those who had weapons took out their weapons, and those who did not have weapons took out wooden sticks, and they stepped forward to confront Zhang Qi's slaves.

Zhang Qi was startled, and hurriedly hid behind many house slaves, seeing that he was protected by many house slaves, he was bold, and immediately said sharply: "You dare to kill people in the street, is there a king law in your eyes?" Believe it or not, let the government take you all to prison? ”

Zhang Qi regretted it a little after burning Chen Hu's field, he was afraid that Chen Xu and the others would not give up after they came back, so he kept sending people to keep an eye on Chen's village.

Yesterday, I heard that Chen Xu was returning, and I was afraid that he would come to take revenge overnight, so I summoned Zhuang Ke and domestic slaves to protect him that night, but I didn't want to wait for a night but didn't see Chen Xu and others move.

He thought that Chen Xu must not dare to retaliate because he was afraid of the Zhang family's forces, otherwise with Chen Xu's temper, he would bring people to seek revenge that night.

Zhang Qi, who thought he had guessed Chen Xu's idea, was immediately overjoyed, and when he heard that they were coming to Puyang to sell tigers, he wanted to come to watch.

But for his own safety, he still brought thirty or forty house slaves, never thinking that his actions would be regarded as a provocation by the Chen family's children.

Although Zhang Qi brought thirty or forty domestic slaves, he was still afraid of the prestige of Chenjiacun, afraid that they would really come to fight, so he had an idea and shouted: "I only came to buy the tiger, I never thought that you would treat the guests so lightly." ”

The children of the Chen family were even more angry when they heard that Zhang Qi wanted to buy tigers, Zhang Qi was the enemy of Chenjia Village, but he wanted to buy the tigers hunted in Chenjia Village, such behavior was tantamount to humiliating the children of the Chen family, and they would go forward to fight immediately.

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Chen Xu stomped his feet and roared: "Stop it." ”

The roar was like thunder, and everyone lost color when they heard it, and the whole market was quiet for a while.

I saw Chen Xu striding up to Zhang Qi, and said murderously: "You came to buy a tiger, but you played with me?" ”

Zhang Qi only heard that Chen Xu was brave in martial arts, but he was a little unimpressed, but today he saw his roar, and his heart was a little afraid, and then he saw the children of the Chen family staring at him, and replied repeatedly: "How dare you play Da Lang?" I came here to buy tigers. ”

"So very good, as the so-called visitor is a guest, since you came to buy a tiger, we are not embarrassed with you, a price, a million dollars."

"What, a million dollars? Why don't you grab it? ”

Only then did he begin to hear Chen Xu say that he was not embarrassed to be with him, and Zhang Qi was still happy in his heart.

Although he brought thirty or forty people, he was also afraid when he saw the murderous Chen children. But I don't want Chen Xu to open his mouth, and he will ask for a million dollars at once.

The market price of a Tiger is 250,000 yuan, no matter how expensive it is, it will not exceed 300,000 yuan, and 1 million yuan is definitely blackmail.

Although Zhang Qi is a gentleman, he is not a straw bag, and 1 million yuan is not a small amount for him, so he refused immediately.

"So, you're here to play tricks on me?"

Chen Xu clenched his fists, and his joints clicked.

In the past, only Zhang Qi bullied people, but he didn't want to be blackmailed by Chen Xu today, he was very angry at the moment, and he was no longer afraid, and said loudly with his head held high: "You want to sell the tiger and me?" ”

Chen Xu was surprised to see that Zhang Qi was no longer afraid, and then suddenly laughed.

looked at Zhang Qi with contempt, looked around at everyone and said: "I have heard that the Zhang family is rich, but I don't want to be unable to even afford a tiger, so it seems that the Zhang family in Puyang is nothing more than that." ”

After Chen Xu finished speaking, the children of the Chen family burst into laughter, and someone immediately scolded: "If you can't afford it, get out, don't be embarrassed here." ”

"You don't know how many wealthy families in Puyang can't afford it, so naturally some people can afford it. If you are fine, leave quickly, don't stop us from selling tigers. ”

After speaking, Chen Xu opened his eyes with disdain.

Zhang Qi's face was flushed when he heard this, if it was just a battle of will, he would never spend 1 million yuan to buy a tiger, if it was involved in the prestige of the family, how could Zhang Qi, who was a child of the family, retreat?

Since the Han Dynasty, the family power has been extremely strong, and in the eyes of the children of the family, the interests and prestige of the family far exceed everything else.

If it were someone else, they would not pay attention to such blackmail, because even if someone used the radical method like Chen Xu, the person who was provoked would not buy it even if he didn't buy it, so the family's prestige would not be damaged.

However, Zhang Qi's family is flying and domineering, and there are many enemies in Puyang County, and it is difficult to keep others buying the tiger in public in order to lose the face of the Zhang family.

In this way, what is the face of the Zhang family?

After all, 1 million yuan is a lot for Zhang Qi personally, but for a big family, it is not too much. If the enemies of the Zhang family know, they will definitely not be stingy with 1 million yuan to make the Zhang family deflated.

"If the Zhang family can't afford to buy the tiger, I don't know if Dalang is willing to sell the tiger to me, just a million, what's the point?"

I was really afraid of something, as soon as Zhang Qigang hesitated, he saw a young man speak up, and immediately glared at the young man, but the young man was not afraid at all.

Qiao Mao is the history of Yanzhou Thorn, Qiandong County Taishou, for the Qiao Xuan clan. This man had a great reputation among the scholars, and had always hated the eunuchs.

However, the ten permanent servants control the government, and for his own future, he does not dare to persecute Zhang Qi's family too much, but the two families have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, and the person who spoke out was the son of Qiao Mao.

"It's just a tiger, which one says my Zhang family can't afford it?"

A female voice sounded suddenly, and Zhang Qi was overjoyed when he heard this.

When Zhang Qi saw ******** coming, he shouted, "Mother, why are you here?" ”

The beautiful woman glared at her fiercely, her face quite displeased. Zhang Qi didn't dare to be presumptuous, and stood obediently beside the beautiful woman's voice, no longer speaking.

Although the beautiful woman is a woman, she doesn't dare to look at her: "The Chen family, you are very good." We can afford this tiger, but we don't know the Zhang family's money, do you dare to accept it? ”

As if he hadn't heard the threat in the mouth of the beautiful woman, Chen Xu smiled and said, "Since someone sent money, why don't I dare to accept it?" ”

The beautiful woman was not angry, but smiled: "In this case, please wait for half a day, and I will send someone to raise money." ”

The Zhang family began to rise because of Zhang Gong, one of the ten permanent servants, and it is not like other families that have gone through hundreds of years to have a rich family background.

Although they said that they ******** amassed a lot of family wealth, most of them gave filial piety to Zhang Gong.

There are also many other things such as fields, mansions, shops, beautiful jade, treasures, etc., and there is not a lot of cash that can be withdrawn from the family, so they have to go back to raise money.

"It's okay, we have the right to go back, tomorrow morning I will send the tiger to the Zhang family's mansion, if you can't get together the money in an emergency, it's okay to give a few days."

Chen Xu saw that the beautiful woman city was deep, and deliberately squeezed it.

The beautiful woman's eyes flashed with a cold light, but she was still not angry, but smiled: "With Lao Dalang's concern, a million dollars, it is just a drop in the bucket with my Zhang family, why bother?" All you have to do is send the tiger. ”

Chen Xu saw that the beautiful woman was still not angry, and his heart was full of murder.

He knew that the calmer the other party was, the more violent the revenge would be in the future. A woman of the Zhang family has such a scheming, and if such an enemy is not eliminated early, it will become a trouble.

The beautiful woman glanced at Qiao Mao's son, didn't say a word, and then left with Zhang Qi and the others.
