Chapter 167 Killing Aobai (Part )

Xing Tianli smiled.

Jin San sighed grimly.

Xing Tianli smiled. When he signed the mortgage contract, he had already taken into account that these wealthy and powerful families with great wealth and strong connections would naturally have countless ways to easily raise cash and redeem the mortgage contract if they were forced into a corner.

It is like the Qian family’s 100,000 acres of ancestral sacrificial land, which was estimated to be worth only 300,000 taels.

Three hundred thousand taels, is this considered money for these wealthy families in Jiangnan?
If you just find a girl from a collateral clan to marry into a middle-class family, the money you have to raise for the bride price might be more than this amount.

That's why Xing Tianli came to the International Court of Justice as the plaintiff and asked Joe Peter, Greenman and others to serve as witnesses.

The contract has expired. As the newly-crowned Marquis of Black Cloud of the Kingdom of Yingjishi, he just wants those shops and properties. What he wants are the real estates.

He doesn't want silver. Even if a mountain of silver is placed in front of him, he won't take it.

Those family heads jumping around in the crowd were crying out for injustice - before the contract deadline, they did raise enough real gold and silver, and even did not hesitate to let the elders know the fact that their silver cellars had been emptied. They risked being driven off the throne of family head by the elders, or even being lynched according to clan rules. They raised enough gold and silver through their network of contacts.

but.

They rushed to Dongyun with a fleet transporting gold and silver, hoping to find Maso and redeem their mortgaged real estate... Dongyun was in chaos and flames everywhere. They could not get close to the Dongyun Islands and were driven back by warships from various countries.

"We have raised enough money." A family head cried out at the top of his lungs, "Sir, we are willing to double, no, triple the funds to redeem our collateral. Three times, sir, we are sincere."

Xing Tianli smiled.

Fisherman smiled.

Joe Peter smiled.

Greenman smiled.

The judges of the International Court of Justice and officials from major consulates all showed the same smile - that smile, no matter how you look at it, is exactly the same as a great white shark in the deep sea showing its fangs, ready to pounce on its prey.

Are you kidding me?
Xing Tianli is clearly going to devour your property. What if you raise enough money? What if you give one, three, five, or ten times the ransom?

What they want is your property!

"You may pronounce the verdict, Your Excellency the Chief Justice. All the contracts are here, with the signatures and seals of the distinguished local tycoons and, of course, the signatures and seals of officials from various countries who served as witnesses."

"I just want justice. I am seeking legal protection for my rights."

Xing Tianli gently lifted the box in front of him and sighed, "Of course, I admit that this is a huge astronomical amount of wealth. Perhaps, someone will threaten me in various ways? For example, resorting to force? Or even more despicable means?"

Joe Peter said sternly: "Dear Marquis, behind you stands the powerful Kingdom of England. All soldiers and fleets of the Empire in the Far East will fight to protect your interests."

Greenman also stood up and said solemnly: "The same is true for the Kingdom of Saint Norman. Your Excellency the Marquis is a friend of the Kingdom of Saint Norman. Your interests are the interests of the Empire."

Several charlatans wearing white robes with silver lines on their cuffs also stood up. They gently shook the bells inlaid with various jewels and diamonds and chanted loudly in the standard charlatan voice: "Most Merciful Mother, we see the glory of your grace in Marquis Black Cloud. All brothers and sisters of the Mother Church in the Far East will devoutly carry out your will and safeguard the rights and interests of Marquis Black Cloud."

Yingji's vassal brothers, Saint Norman's vassal lackeys, representatives of the devout believers of the Holy Mother Church, and dozens of consuls general all started clamoring.

Jin Santan's face turned pale, and he instantly gave up the idea of ​​spending a little money to get some clan artifacts from these contracts to pass on to future generations - he, Jin Santan, really couldn't afford to offend these ferocious foreign masters.

In particular, the Empress Dowager, the Virgin Mary, enshrined the statue of the Virgin Mary in the side hall of her own bedroom.

Can Jin Santan provoke Xing Tianli, the Marquis of Heiyun, who is backed by a charlatan? Does he dare to provoke him? Is he destined to provoke him?

Xing Tianli smiled brightly, revealing two rows of white teeth. He was in a good mood. He had been madly devouring a lot of gold and silver precious metals at all costs these days. In addition, the huge wreckage of the Allied Navy's sunken warships in the strait on the west side of Yunxiang Island provided a huge amount of Taichu Qi. Xing Tianli, whose cultivation had reached the critical point, took advantage of the sudden joy and boiling blood in his body to break through another level of cultivation.

"Crack!"
'rumble'!
Xing Tianli's skin moved slightly, and he tried his best to restrain his blood. However, the Five Elements Heavenly Witch made a breakthrough, and the Five Elements Witch Blood turned into the second level. His physical strength increased by one time, and the pure static physical strength reached a terrifying 200 million tons. His blood was rolling like a dragon, and a slight leakage of abnormality still caused a terrible impact.

The ground was shaking slightly.

It was as if there was a huge hammer weighing hundreds of thousands of tons, constantly hitting the ground.

Boom, boom, boom!
The breakthrough lasted only three breaths, and Xing Tianli forcibly controlled his surging blood and strength. However, during these three breaths, the breath that he could not control leaked out, still frightening everyone in front of him.

Jin Santan, Wei Lansheng, Zhao Pu and other officials at all levels, as well as those unlucky wealthy families and their entourage, all those who faced Xing Tianli and saw his brilliant smile, all collapsed to the ground. Ninety percent of the people, including Jin Santan, had wet crotches and peed themselves out of fear.

In those short three breaths, they really seemed to be facing gods and demons directly. Their souls were washed away by Xing Tianli's terrifying essence, blood and energy, and they were almost reduced to ashes.

This is an absolute crushing defeat at the life level.

With a physical strength of 200 million tons, even if Xing Tianli still maintained a pure human form, he could not be considered a "decent" and "normal" "mortal". A huge gap had opened up between him and a "real mortal".

Everyone shut up.

Even Peter Joe, Greenman and the others, who were standing behind Xing Tianli and not facing Xing Tianli's brilliant smile, were frightened by the shaking of the ground and the sudden surge of energy from Xing Tianli's body, and their bodies became stiff as if they were trapped in a nightmare. Everyone almost fainted.

Joe Peter, Greenman and others instantly recalled the careful instructions given to them by Augustus, Di Si and others before they returned to their homeland to "report on their duties" - respect Xing Tianli, just as you respect Augustus and Di Si themselves, just as you respect their Majesty the King!

Power!
"Well, can you pronounce the verdict now?" Xing Tianli flicked the Tongtian Miaozhu with his fingers and silently recited the Taoist scriptures he had practiced in his previous life, which were about shocking inner demons and purifying the soul. Bit by bit, he tried to erase the fierce, barbaric, primitive and tyrannical instincts that came from the surge in strength and the sudden increase in the purity of the Five Elements Heavenly Witch's life essence and blood.

He really wanted to kill these people in front of him with one punch.

Starting with Jin Santan, all the wealthy businessmen and heads of powerful families will be killed!

It's just a matter of one punch, clean and clear, no need to think too much.

This is what the great witches of the ancient times were best at doing, and this is the method of handling all conflicts and disputes - whoever has the bigger fist is right!

But after all, there are still remnants of his past life in Xing Tianli's heart.

He took a slow breath and turned to look at Fisherman. "Your Excellency, Chief Justice, no one has raised any objection to my legitimate and reasonable appeal. So, please pronounce the verdict!"

Fisherman took the prepared ruling document from the secretary beside him, signed his name on it neatly, and stamped it with the seal of the International Court of Justice.

Fisherman's smile faltered.

His crotch was also a little wet, and he couldn't wait to end this fatal judgment, and quickly return to his temporary official residence to hug those lovely dog-head golds and have a good sleep.

Damn it, is this handsome Marquis in front of me the incarnation of the devil?
When Xing Tianli's breath just leaked out, Fisherman could swear that he really saw his great-grandfather, grandfather and father who had been dead for many years, dancing around him hand in hand, enthusiastically welcoming the reunion of four generations of their family.

It's really weird.

There are so many golden nuggets waiting for him to pamper them, and he doesn't want to meet those three old guys.

Xing Tianli took the judgment document and handed it to Jin Santan, who was sitting on the ground and had not recovered for a long time. "Your Excellency Governor, please use the seal. By the way, issue a pass to my people so that they can go to various places to receive these properties that belong to me." Xing Tianli smiled and said, "You don't want the millions of elite troops under my command to conflict with the Jiangdong Province and the officials in the jurisdiction of these properties, do you?"

Jin Santan shuddered.

What the hell, a million elite troops?

Haha, he knew very well what the military equipment of Jiangdong Province was like, and he knew even better about the military equipment of his neighbors, such as Yunmeng Province and Chutian Province, and how poor they were.

If Xing Tianli really prepared a million elite troops...

My god, look at how aggressive Xing Tianli is, as if he wants to kill all these wealthy businessmen. He has definitely prepared a million-strong army... This million-strong army is enough to destroy cities and strongholds, and turn Jiangdong Province and several neighboring provinces into a mess.

Jin Santan snatched the judgment document, took a deep breath, and looked at the many wealthy businessmen who were slumped on the ground with dull eyes.

He knew that these unlucky guys had been set up.

All their belongings were swallowed by Xing Tianli.

However, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, and your methods are inferior to others...just accept your fate!

Jin Santan smiled bitterly, signed, and heavily stamped his silk screen and the governor's seal of Jiangdong Province, then handed the ruling document back to Xing Tianli carefully: "This official respects the universal law of all nations, and this official respects the ruling of the International Court even more. Not only this official, I think all the dignitaries in Fentian City also respect this."

"I just hope that when Your Excellency the Marquis takes over these properties, he won't start a war or cause unrest among the people. That would be the best."

Jin Santan's bitter smile turned into a smile as gentle as spring breeze in the blink of an eye.

Can't stop it.

Impossible to stop.

With millions of troops under his command, backed by the great powers, and with his own power like a god or demon, and with the legal advantage, Xing Tianli was unstoppable by Jin Santan. Xing Tianli was bound to become the most terrifying super-rich man in Jiangdong Province, no, the entire Jiangnan region... no, the entire Dayu Dynasty, except for the royal family and a few iron-hat princes.

These wooden boxes contain the entire wealth of Xing Tianqingshu's thousands of partners and thousands of wealthy families.

Ha ha!

The entire wealth of thousands of wealthy families.

What is this concept?
Xing Tianli also possesses such a huge military force. To be disrespectful, he can even establish territory in the Jiangnan region. However, the Empress Dowager of the Dayu Dynasty and all the officials in the court can do nothing about him.

Jin Santan's heart twitched violently, and his smile became even brighter.

"Well, there are still some things that require the cooperation of the Governor." Xing Tianli waved his sleeves again, and some wooden boxes fell down with a bang: "Here is the ancestral home of the Xingtian family and all the real estate of the main branch of the Xingtian family that Zhang Qingshu mortgaged."

Xing Tianli smiled very subtly: "He also failed to pay off the debt on time, so, because of these mortgage contracts, Nanxun Town, Pingyuan Hall, and all the property of the main branch of the Xingtian family should belong to me."

Jin San sighed and nodded: "It's a matter of course."

Jin Santan's attitude became extremely cooperative, and his mentality changed extremely well - Xing Tianqingshu was destined to be unlucky, and Xing Tianli was destined to rise. Instead of pitying an unlucky guy whose fate was unknown, it would be better to quickly hold on to a thick thigh that seemed comparable to that of Dayu Dynasty.

"I will issue an official document immediately and order the elite troops of the standard camp to lead the private soldiers of the Marquis to take over all the property of the Xingtian family."

Jin Santan smiled warmly.

"Your Excellency the Governor may have made a mistake." Xing Tianli coughed lightly, "In the first ruling document you just signed, it has been determined that I am the Earl of Pingbo and the only legal heir of the Xingtian family of Pingyuan Hall in Nanxun Town. Therefore, of course, all of Xingtian's property should belong to me."

"And Zhang Qingshu actually used my belongings as collateral to me?"

Xing Tianli shook his head and said, "This is obviously inappropriate."

“So, I have estimated the price of the ancestral home of the main branch of the Xingtian family in Pingyuan Hall, Nanxun Town, as well as all the real estate, such as shops, fields, etc. I estimate it to be about 100 billion taels of silver.” Xing Tianli smiled and said, “That is to say, after I inherited the title of Earl of Pingbo and took back the Xingtian family property that originally belonged to me... Zhang Qingshu owes me 100 billion taels!”

Jin Santan opened his mouth in horror.

You are poisonous!
You are poisonous!
You are really, so vicious!
One hundred billion taels of silver? How dare you ask for that? Even if Xing Tian's ancestral home is more than ten miles in radius, even if Xing Tian owns millions of fertile fields and countless assets, the market value is estimated to be one or two hundred million taels of silver, which is the highest, right?

One hundred billion taels of silver?
Do you want to drain the blood out of Xing Tianqingshu, the Zhang family, and everyone related to them and kill them all?
You might as well just kill them!
Xing Tianli laughed again: "You must be thinking that I should just kill them."

Xing Tianli hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, kill them? Haha, then all the suffering my mother endured over the years, I drank bowl after bowl of poison since I was a child, became blind at a young age, and suffered all these years, wasn't it all in vain?"

Jin Santan felt cold all over.

He felt a rare glimmer of compassion in his heart, and he sighed, "My Lord Marquis, the valuation of one hundred billion taels of silver is really excessive. If I sign this certificate, I'm afraid the whole world will be in an uproar."

Xing Tianli narrowed his eyes and smiled: "But if you don't sign, for you, the uproar of one person, I am afraid, will be more terrible than the uproar of the whole world, right?"

Xing Tianli spread out his left hand, and his five fingers suddenly became as clear and transparent as glass. Then the five fingers separated into five colors, and five lightning bolts spurted out from the fingertips. The lightning bolts spurted out three to five feet away with a "hissing" sound. Xing Tianli casually scratched the ground, and a very long gap was torn in the rammed earth made of bricks and stones.

The terrifying Five Elements Divine Thunder directly melted a large area of ​​the ground. The boiling magma was bubbling with "pops". Everyone present exclaimed in unison, and many of the timid people turned around and ran away.

This is by no means human.

This is the power of gods, demons and evil spirits!

Jin Santan readily accepted the advice and immediately laughed: "Your Excellency the Marquis is right. Those bastards who act recklessly and violate human ethics should be severely punished and never be able to stand up again. One hundred billion taels of silver? I think that is a very appropriate estimate. The ancestral home of the Xingtian family can give birth to a dragon among men like Your Excellency the Marquis. It is obviously a top-notch Feng Shui treasure land. This ancestral home alone must be worth one hundred billion taels!"

Xing Tianli loves to hear this!
He smiled brightly and patted Jin Santan's shoulder gently: "You are indeed a good official... uh, a good official."

Jin Santan wrote the letter himself, Chief Justice Fisherman ground the ink himself, and many officials of the Dayu Dynasty prepared the words. Another ruling document with astonishing content came out.

In short, all of Xingtian’s property has nothing to do with Xingtian Qingshu.

Xing Tianqingshu owed Xing Tianli a huge debt of 100 billion taels of silver... What's worse, there were many supplementary clauses in the judgment document. The most important one was that if Xing Tianqingshu was unable to repay Xing Tianli's debt, then the relatives related to Xing Tianqingshu would bear unshirkable unlimited joint and several liability.

The guarantee for the pursuit of "unlimited joint and several liability" comes from the public law of the Far West represented by the International Court of Justice and the royal law of the Great Jade Dynasty represented by Jin Santan. Of course, it also comes from the many new battleships of the Kingdom of England anchored in the concession ports, as well as the inhuman power displayed by Xing Tianli.

The judgment document was completed, and Xing Tianli was about to take out the mortgage contract that Princess Yihe had made with the entire Jieshi County, when an extremely cold and arrogant voice suddenly came from inside.

"So, all this was caused by you, a kid, stirring up trouble behind the scenes?"

"You are the one who took away the property of Pingbo Bo and many kind-hearted gentry, robbed their goods, and plotted against them time and time again, right?"

"This old man is Aobai."

"Boy, have you thought about how you're going to die?"
