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

"Of course, just exchange it at an exchange rate of ten to one."

Chen Xuan nodded without objection.

Anyway, whether it is gold or silver, it is money, as long as it is money.

"Okay, but the silver is too heavy. We need a carriage to bring it here, which will take some time. One stick of incense may not be enough."

Zhang Tao said in a deep voice.

When the money is brought in, the amount needs to be counted, which takes time.

"I'll give you one hour. If you exceed one hour, I'll give you another 1,000 taels of gold."

Chen Xuan directly gave a time limit.

Anyway, the initiative is in his hands, he can blackmail however he wants.

Of course, the reason why Zhang Tao compromised was because Ling Mo was no match for Chen Xuan!

If Ling Mo could beat Chen Xuan, it would be Chen Xuan who was being pressed to his knees and about to have his throat cut!

To put it bluntly, strength is the bottom line.

Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say!

"Two idiots, why don't you go now!" Zhang Tao immediately yelled at Qin Baye and Chen Kun, who were still standing there motionless.

After being scolded, the two of them hurried back home to get the money.

On the way, Chen Qing whispered to Chen Kun, "Father, doesn't Chen Xuan want money? Let's deliberately delay giving it to him and make him angry. Chen Xuan is definitely a man with a bad temper. In a rage, he might kill Zhang Tianci. Even if he doesn't kill him, he will definitely injure him. In this way, the governor will definitely fight him to the death. This is a great thing for us!"

Snapped!

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Kun slapped him hard on the forehead and cursed, "You pig brain, do you want to kill me?"

"Zhang Tianci can die, but he can't die because we can't raise the money. Otherwise, the governor will not only fight Chen Xuan to the death, but will also kill our whole family!"

"Although our Chen family is considered a wealthy family in Barbarian City, it's not the people who fight against the officials. If the governor wants to raid our house, it's easy. To put it nicely, we are his subjects. To put it bluntly, we are his dogs. He can kill us whenever he wants!"

"No matter what, we can't offend him!"

This barrage of criticism was enough to make Chen Qing feel utterly miserable.

"Is it that serious?"

Chen Qing felt a little aggrieved. "Our Chen family isn't that weak, is it?"

He felt that Chen Kun was praising Zhang Tao too much.

"Idiot, how many people are there in our Chen family? There are only a few hundred people in total. How many people are there in the prefectural government? There are already 8,000 elite soldiers under their command. If they want to slaughter us, it will be as easy as killing a chicken!"

Chen Kun glanced at his son coldly and found that he looked quite smart on weekdays and was nicknamed the Little Zhuge among the Three Heroes of Mancheng. Why was he so stupid today?

Chen Qing was scolded so hard that he dared not breathe a word, but he still felt a little dissatisfied. He whispered, "Those 8,000 elite soldiers were sent by the imperial court to defend against enemy countries and bandits. Now they have almost become the Zhang family's private army. They haven't killed many enemies or captured many bandits. They are used exclusively to bully ordinary people like us."

"Shut up! If you dare to say such things again and it gets out, I'll break your legs!"

Chen Kun angrily slapped him hard, grabbed his ear and ran home.

There's no way, there's only one hour left.

And his Chen family needs to pay 2,500 taels of gold, which, when converted into silver, would be 25,000 taels!

We must hurry up and gather them. If we can’t gather them within an hour, we will have to pay more!

In the courtyard.

"My husband is so awesome! Five thousand taels of gold, just snap your fingers and you'll get it!"

Xu Ruolan is a money-grubber. When she heard that she could get so much money all at once, her eyes were almost sparkling with stars.

The other women were naturally happy as well. After all, Chen Xuan was rich and was willing to spend money on them.

Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes flashed, and she found that Chen Xuan's ability to make money was really unique.

Before, Liu Jinyu brought the bandits to surrender. Under normal circumstances, Chen Xuan should have rewarded the bandits with a large sum of money and asked them to help him do things.

As a result, Chen Xuan turned against Tian Gang and made the bandits pay a large sum of money to serve Chen Xuan.

Now, he has obtained a total of five thousand taels of gold from the prefect, the Qin family, and the Chen family.

Although the way of making money is a bit unconventional and not a legitimate income.

But his ability to make money is unique.

This made Li Xiuning wonder if Chen Xuan was a bandit.

Is he really a young man from a prestigious family like the Chen clan? How come when he's blackmailing people, he exudes even more banditry than Liu Jinyu, a legitimate bandit?

If Chen Xuan were to become prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, the money that the corrupt officials had taken would probably be forced to be returned by him, along with interest...

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty's treasury has been empty and its expenditure has often been insufficient due to the excessive number of corrupt officials who have enriched themselves. This has often given the Tang Emperor a headache.

Wait, why did I think of this?

Li Xiuning suddenly realized that she was thinking too far and immediately shook her head to calm herself down.

The only calm person in the courtyard was An Ruxue.

She has no interest in money. The only thing that really interests her is something that can improve her strength.

"They've already gone to collect the money. Can you untie them?"

Zhang Tao looked at his son who was tied up like a dumpling with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth. The stench drifted towards him, and he couldn't help but speak in a negotiating tone.

"We'll talk about it when the money arrives."

Chen Xuan was too lazy to say anything more and refused to give in at all.

He knew clearly that a veteran like Zhang Tao would only erode your bottom line bit by bit.

If you agree to pull the smelly socks out of their mouths, the next step will be to untie you. After you untie them, they will say that the money is on the way and they can't run away, so you might as well let a doctor check your body first.

So Chen Xuan would not give in at all.

Seeing that Chen Xuan was so hard-hearted and didn't give him face, Zhang Tao could only sulk in his heart.

I have been in Barbarian City for so many years, and no one has ever dared to disobey my wishes. Today, I met a tough guy like Chen Xuan. I am really unlucky!

This kind of person should be killed!

If you can't kill him, find a way to drive him out of the barbarian city!

There is more than just Mancheng on the border. Chen Kun has already made up his mind. If he can't kill Chen Xuan and can't drive him away, he will find a way to ask him to leave.

In short, let Chen Xuan go anywhere, just don't stay in Barbarian City.

On Zhang Tianci's side, the three of them shed silent tears.

It wasn't because of fear, but the smell of Xiao Liuzi's collectible edition patinated stinky socks was so strong that it was unbearable, and the tears were simply brought out by the smell.
