"But then again, how did Master know that this man could deal with the governor?"

"Have you forgotten? Master always likes to join in the fun. When the incident happened at the city gate yesterday, Master went to see it. Later, when Qin Hao was beaten while driving a carriage at the market, Master also went to see the excitement. After that, the prefect mobilized a large army to besiege the courtyard. Master had planned to go and see it again, but the prefect closed the city gate and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so Master was unable to go. But Master did go to see it the previous few times. He must have recognized this man."

The apprentices of the old man in the blacksmith shop looked at Chen Xuan one by one and couldn't help but speak.

At this time, the old man was hammering away at the iron with a faint smile on his face.

It was obviously a boring blacksmithing job, but with his continuous hammering, it produced a rhythmic sound that sounded like music.

"Are you the one who kidnapped Zhang Tianci and the others?"

Liao Jun is not a fool. The discussions of the people around him reached his ears, and he finally realized why Zhang Tianci ran away!

"Isn't it a little too late for you to react now?"

Chen Xuan didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either. However, since he had already said this, it was no different from admitting it.

"You! Damn it, I'm unlucky to have met you. How much money do you want? I'll pay you some, and you let me go!"

Liao Jun suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

This morning, his father was still warning him that if he met the person who kidnapped Zhang Tianci, he must not conflict with him. Our Liao family has no grudge against this person. If Zhang Tianci wants to instigate him to deal with Chen Xuan, he must not be fooled and not be used as a gun by him.

He promised everything in the morning, but now something went wrong. What you feared will come true!

"You want to give me money? Are you rich?" Chen Xuan smiled.

Liao Jun said timidly: "I'm sorry for offending you by not having eyes. How about this, you go to my Yihong Courtyard and play around. You can pick any woman you want. I won't charge you any money. We can just be friends after a fight."

Men are all lustful, and he wanted to use his beauty to temporarily seduce Chen Xuan.

However, before Chen Xuan could express his opinion, Xu Ruolan on the side could no longer stand and pointed at Liao Jun's nose and cursed:

"You dishonest bastard, it's fine if you're vulgar yourself, but you actually want to take my husband to that kind of red-light district to have fun?"

"You want to lead my husband astray, right? I'm telling you, you're dreaming! My husband has no shortage of women around him, so just give up on this idea!"

Yang Ying'er also cursed coldly: "You filthy bastard! It seems that the kick just now didn't completely turn you into a eunuch. I'm going to kick you again!"

It would have been fine if Yang Ying'er hadn't mentioned this, but once she did, Liao Jun, who had just managed to forget the pain, felt the pain in his balls again.

The kick Liu Jinyu just gave him had already made him feel worse than death. If he received another kick, he would really go to the west!

He subconsciously squeezed his buttocks.

"I'm not interested in the women in your Yihongyuan." Chen Xuan said indifferently.

What did Liao Jun think he was? A ladybug?

"Then I'll give you money. How about this? I'll give you one thousand taels of silver to settle the matter. What happened just now was purely a misunderstanding. Consider this one thousand taels as friendship. From now on, if you have any problems in Mancheng, you can call me. As a friend, I will definitely help you wherever I can!"

Liao Jun said with gritted teeth.

No matter what, he had to get away with it first and let Chen Xuan let him go. It didn't matter if he spent some money, he could just consider it as a way to avoid disaster.

However, Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Do you know how much the ransom for Zhang Tianci and the others is?"

When Liao Jun heard this, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

How could he not know that Chen Xuan wanted one thousand taels of gold per person, but in the end, he extorted a full five thousand taels of gold!

"Are you trying to extort one thousand taels of gold from my Liao family?"

Liao Jun spoke with a grim expression.

Chen Xuan shook his head: "I'm not short of money."

Hearing this, Liao Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's fine as long as you don't charge any money, everything can be negotiated.

"You don't want money, what do you want? Women? I have a lot of girls in Yihongyuan, how many do you want?"

Chen Xuan discovered that this guy mentioned money or women every few words.

I can only say that the life of this kind of playboy is really too decadent.

Chen Xuan said calmly, "I heard that your Liao family controls more than half of the rice shops in the entire Barbarian City, right? Well, let your Liao family pay you 10,000 dan of rice to redeem you."

boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, a huge uproar ensued, and the entire scene exploded.

"What? He doesn't want money? He wants food instead?"

"Is he crazy? He actually wants 10,000 dan of rice? You know, in our Daqian Dynasty, one tael of silver can only buy two dan of rice. Ten thousand dan of rice is worth 20,000 taels of silver!"

"Rice from other places in the Daqian Dynasty only costs one tael of silver for two dan of rice, but the rice in our Mancheng sells for one tael of silver for four dan of rice, which is double the price. In other words, he is directly asking the Liao family to pay 40,000 taels of silver for an acquaintance!"

"The Liao family can definitely come up with 10,000 dan of rice, but that would be like cutting off their own flesh. The Liao family won't agree!"

"Ten thousand dan of rice is enough to feed the people of our Barbarian City for two to three months!"

No one was not shocked. Barbarian City was already short of food, and Chen Xuan was still asking for such a huge amount of food. It was simply unbelievable!

"Impossible! My father couldn't possibly have given me so much rice to redeem me!"

Liao Jun never expected that Chen Xuan didn't want money but food.

Food is much more valuable than silver.

He would rather pay ten thousand taels of silver than ten thousand dan of rice!

Immediately, Liao Jun said with a stiff upper lip, "If you really want money, I can give you the same price as Zhang Tianci, but forget about the food!"

Chen Xuan immediately looked at him as if he were an idiot and sneered, "Are you kidnapping me? Or am I kidnapping you? Do you think you have room to negotiate with me? Are you worthy?"

After saying that, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Liao Jun. He found that this man must have some problems with his brain. No wonder the three heroes of Mancheng didn't take him with them.

Chen Xuan gave Liu Jinyu a look, and Liu Jinyu understood what he meant. He smiled and picked up a dirty rag nearby and stuffed it into Liao Jun's mouth, not allowing him to speak. Then he found a hemp rope to tie him up, and he enjoyed the same treatment as Zhang Tianci yesterday.

"Woo!"

Liao Jun kept making humming sounds, trying to speak.

However, Chen Xuan didn't give him this opportunity at all. He said to the crowd of people around him: "Please, everyone, someone go to the Liao family and tell them that before sunset today, 10,000 dan of rice must be delivered to my residence outside the city. If it is not delivered, his son will surely die, and the Liao family will be extinct!"
