I let you have children and you lead seven sinful girls to rebel?

The incense is still burning.

And the further down it burns, the faster it burns!

Qin Baiye and Chen Kun couldn't help but look at Zhang Tao.

Chen Kun wished that Chen Xuan would kill Zhang Tianci and Qin Hao as soon as possible, after all, these two were not his sons.

Kill him directly, completely break off relations with the governor, and fight to the death. This is the situation he hopes to see.

Qin Baiye was secretly anxious in his heart, because he only had Qin Hao as his precious son.

He was now thinking about giving the money and rescuing his son first.

However, since Zhang Tao didn't say anything, he didn't dare to make a decision on his own.

Zhang Tao's face was gloomy and uncertain. Since he became the governor of Mancheng, he had never been threatened like this.

If he compromised with Chen Xuan like this, he would be very unwilling and think that his authority was challenged!

But if he doesn't compromise, his son will really die.

He now really believed that Chen Xuan dared to kill his son.

But he was really unwilling to surrender to Chen Xuan.

After a moment's contemplation, Zhang Tao said in a deep voice, "Chen Xuan, I have dispatched 4,000 elite soldiers to surround you. So what if you are a good fighter? As long as I give the order, everyone around you will die! No matter how powerful you are, you can't protect them alone!"

Chen Xuan immediately looked at him like an idiot and sneered, "I can just kill you if you give the order. If you're dead, won't these soldiers stop fighting? Who would risk their lives for a dead man?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tao's face changed, "You want to kill me?"

Chen Xuan continued to taunt him, "So what if I kill you? Are you that great? You're just a small governor in a barbarian city, a mere seventh-rank official. In the capital, any corrupt official I catch would be far more powerful than you."

Zhang Tao's face turned green. He was the one who had the final say in Barbarian City and was a seventh-rank official appointed by the imperial court.

In Chen Xuan's eyes, it is so insignificant?

You know, he is a seventh-rank official and a prefect with military power, which means he has more power than an ordinary sixth-rank official!

"You are so arrogant!"

Zhang Tao gritted his teeth and was burning with anger.

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "You don't think Ling Mo can protect you, do you? That kick I gave him internal injuries. To be honest, I used an Earth-level martial art."

"Besides, I was very lenient with my kick just now, using only 70% of my strength. If I had kicked him with all my strength, Ling Mo would have suffered more than just internal injuries. Even if I couldn't kill him with one kick, I would have crippled him directly."

These words were spoken lightly and effortlessly.

But every word that fell into the ears of Zhang Tao and others was like a bolt from the blue, exploding loudly!

"That's actually a real Earth-level martial art?"

"Damn it! He's just a martial artist, how could the Chen family agree to teach him such a powerful martial art? And he even mastered it!"

When Chen Xuan took the initiative to tell everyone the level of his martial arts, no one was not shocked. After all, it was just a guess just now, but now it has been confirmed!

"Ling Mo, how long can you stop him?" Zhang Tao asked in a deep voice.

Ling Mo was still hunched over and half-crouching on the ground. He slowly turned his head and glanced at Zhang Tao.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but as soon as he did, Zhang Tao's heart sank.

Because he saw blood flowing out of the corner of Ling Mo's mouth!

It seems that the injury he suffered is not an ordinary injury!

Moreover, if it was really as Chen Xuan said, he only used 70% of his strength.

If this is true, Chen Xuan could really kick Ling Mo, who is a fourth-level martial artist, to death with all his strength!

What is this concept?

This means that it would be easy for Chen Xuan to kill Zhang Tao!

"Baiye, prepare four thousand taels of gold!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Tao spoke unwillingly.

The incense is almost burning to my butt. If I delay any longer, it will really burn out!

Moreover, Chen Xuan was too strong and left no room for maneuver!

Zhang Tao had no choice but to admit it!

"Brother-in-law, why should I be the only one to prepare four thousand taels of gold?"

When Qin Baiye heard that he was asked to pay, he felt as if someone was cutting his flesh with a knife and was extremely heartbroken.

"Why, I asked you to pay, and you have a problem with that, right?"

Zhang Tao was already in a bad mood, and when he heard what Qin Baiye said, he became extremely annoyed. If you don't pay for it, should I?

Seeing him angry, Qin Baiye's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said, "Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to pay this money, but I need money everywhere recently and I can't come up with so much money right away. How about this, I'll pay two thousand taels of gold first, and let the Chen family pay the remaining two thousand taels?"

If he were asked to pay four thousand taels of gold alone to redeem someone, he would definitely not be willing to do so. He must find someone to take the blame for him!

Chen Kun was furious when he heard this. "You guys pay the ransom, what the hell is it to me? Why should I get paid too?"

Without even thinking, he immediately shook his head and refused, "Master Qin, this is your business. It was your son who provoked others first. If he was caught, you should pay the money. Involving me in this is a bit too much."

Qin Baiye immediately sneered, "Chen Kun, that kid is from your Chen family. If you can't control him, that's your problem. Logically speaking, you should have paid for the four thousand taels of gold. I'm giving you two thousand taels, which is already very generous!"

Chen Kun got angry instantly when he heard this.

You want to pay compensation and ask me to pay half of it for you, and then you say that you paid me two thousand taels of gold?

What kind of logic is this?

"Master Qin, what kind of logic is this? It's complete nonsense. I won't pay this money!" Chen Kun refused.

"You won't go out? You have to go out even if you don't want to. This is the order of the governor. Do you want to disobey the governor's order?!"

Qin Baiye was too lazy to argue with Chen Kun, so he understood why he wanted to bring Zhang Tao out and use Zhang Tao to pressure him.

Zhang Tao and Qin Baiye are originally a family. The money houses in Mancheng are owned half by the Zhang family and half by the Qin family. On weekdays, the prefectural government has received a lot of benefits from the Qin family, and the Qin family has also made a lot of money by relying on the prefectural government.

At this time, Zhang Tao would definitely help Qin Baiye.

"Chen Kun, this whole thing started when your son refused to let him into the city. If you had let him in, would he have caused a scene at the city gate?"

"If we hadn't caused such a scene at the city gate, there wouldn't have been so much trouble afterwards!"

"After all, your son Chen Qing is not immune to the consequences of this situation!"

"So this time, your Chen family and the Qin family will split the four thousand taels of gold in half!"

Zhang Tao spoke coldly, and found Chen Qing's angle to force Chen Kun to pay.

Chen Kun's face darkened. As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Two thousand taels of gold, that's twenty thousand taels of silver. I wonder how long it will take to earn it back?!

"The incense is finished burning!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan's indifferent voice sounded.

The incense stick burning on the incense altar burned out at this moment!
