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

It was getting dark.

"Old Liu, how long has it been now?"

Chen Xuan looked at Liu Jinyu and asked.

One hour is two hours.

Chen Xuan himself doesn't know how to tell time, after all, he doesn't have a watch on his hand. In this world, people usually tell time by observing the movement of the sun.

Liu Jinyu placed a stick on the ground, and the sun shone on it, casting a reflection.

He looked up at the sky, then at the shadow of the stick, and said, "Master Chen, there's less than a quarter of an hour left. It'll be an hour!"

"Ah."

Chen Xuan nodded lightly, then gave Zhang Tao a look without saying anything. The meaning of that look was very clear: time is almost up, you can handle it with your own people!

Zhang Tao felt mixed emotions. As a prefect, he was blackmailed and had to pay the money.

I have never suffered such a loss in my life.

If Ling Mo couldn't win...

He turned his head to look at Ling Mo, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in meditation. His face was a little pale and he did not look very healthy.

Obviously, Chen Xuan's kick caused him great harm, causing internal injuries and he would not be able to recover in a short time.

Zhang Tao considered using a large army to crush Chen Xuan.

He has eight thousand men under his command, and he doesn't believe that Chen Xuan can handle it alone!

But after thinking about it, this is not a safe solution at all.

Even if everyone around Chen Xuan could be killed, Chen Xuan himself would probably be able to escape.

If Chen Xuan escapes, then he, the prefect, will not be able to sleep at night.

You never know when he will sneak into the prefect's mansion to assassinate you.

Moreover, there is another very dangerous reason, that is, Zhang Tao's men are here. If he gives the order to attack, Chen Xuan will come and capture the leader first, and then everything will be finished.

Therefore, after much thought, he had no choice but to compromise.

As for how to retaliate in the future, I can only plan it carefully after I return!

“The money is coming!”

At this time, someone shouted.

Several carriages drove in from the road, and the soldiers on both sides immediately made way for them.

The carriages stopped at the gate of the courtyard, some belonged to the Qin family, and some to the Chen family.

"Brother-in-law, I have brought here one thousand taels of gold and fifteen thousand taels of silver."

Qin Baiye pointed at the two carriages and said with a painful look on his face.

It’s such a huge amount of money. I wonder how much usury I have to lend out to earn it back!

"Your Excellency, I have here twelve hundred taels of gold and thirteen thousand taels of silver."

Chen Kun spoke in a depressed tone, feeling very regretful. He should have known not to come along earlier. All the money was wasted.

But then again, if he didn't come along, Qin Baiye wouldn't agree. This guy was deliberately trying to drag him into this.

Zhang Tao breathed a sigh of relief. It had finally arrived. He said to Chen Xuan sternly, "Now that the money has arrived, you can release him now!"

"No hurry, let's count the number first."

Chen Xuan gave Xiao Liuzi a look.

Xiao Liuzi understood what he meant and waved his hand immediately. A large group of bandits who had been prepared for a long time smiled and blew into their palms, then rubbed their hands excitedly, swarmed over, and began to count how much money there was.

In less than an incense stick's time, everyone counted the number of pairs, and the total was exactly 2,200 taels of gold and 28,000 taels of silver.

In other words, the total value was exactly five thousand taels of gold, not a copper penny more or less, and it was strictly deducted.

"Okay, pull it in."

Chen Xuan waved his hand back, and Xiao Liuzi immediately called everyone to bring the horses and carriages into the courtyard.

"Get rich, get rich!"

Xu Ruolan's face was so wide with smiles that she couldn't stop smiling. She immediately and enthusiastically asked Xiao Liuzi and others to unload the gold and silver.

However, Xiao Liuzi scratched his head and laughed dryly, "Third sister-in-law, why are you taking it off? The horse and the cart are ours, so just leave the money in the cart."

This guy is also very considerate. He always calls Li Xiuning "sister-in-law", An Ruxue "sister-in-law", and Xu Ruolan "sister-in-law".

As for the others, regardless of order, they are all called "little sister-in-law".

Xu Ruolan was stunned by his words and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean? You're not going to return the carriage to them?"

These horses and carriages are worth several hundred taels of silver.

"This is our stuff." Xiao Liuzi said with a smile.

Hearing this, the women couldn't help but look at each other.

Wow, he really ate it all up without leaving anything for others.

As expected of a bandit, he really makes use of his professional expertise!

"Can you let him go now?"

Zhang Tao said in a deep voice, the carriage carrying the silver had already been pulled into the courtyard, but they still didn't let the people go. It was a bit unreasonable.

Chen Xuan glanced at Liu Jinyu and ordered, "Release him."

"Go ahead, you guys."

Liu Jinyu threw them over like dumplings. Zhang Tao's men immediately caught them, untied them, and pulled the smelly socks out of their mouths.

"Father, you must avenge me!"

As soon as the smelly socks were pulled out and he was able to speak again, Zhang Tianci threw himself into Zhang Tao's arms and burst into tears.

"I swear I won't be a human being if I don't tear this man's tendons and skin him alive!"

He cried and howled. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life and hated it to the extreme!

However, Zhang Tao frowned because Zhang Tianci's mouth was facing him when he spoke, and a strong smell of foot odor emanated from Zhang Tianci's mouth, which was choking!

"Okay, stay aside and don't talk without my permission!"

Zhang Tao said in a deep voice.

However, Zhang Tianci acted as if he didn't hear anything. He cried and asked Zhang Tao to avenge him, which made Zhang Tao feel nauseous.

Zhang Tao was already upset, and the stench was so overwhelming that his patience ran out. He glared at her and shouted, "If you dare to say anything again, I'll break your legs!"

Zhang Tianci was so frightened that he dared not say a word.

On the side, Qin Baiye felt that Zhang Tao was going a bit too far.

Your son just escaped from danger and needs comfort at this time. It would be fine if you didn't comfort him, but you scolded your son and didn't let him speak. What's the matter?

Besides, you didn't have to pay a penny for the money worth five thousand taels of gold. Even I, who paid the money, am not angry with my son.

But soon, Qin Baiye instantly understood why Zhang Tao asked Zhang Tianci to shut up.

Because his son Qin Hao also threw himself into his arms, gnashing his teeth with hatred and saying, "Father, my Qin family's money will not be wasted. Now that we have escaped, Chen Xuan no longer has any hostages. You have nothing to worry about, you can take action now! I will cut him into pieces and dismember him!"

The pungent smell of feet was even stronger than that of the pit toilet in the dry toilet. Qin Baiye felt a blackout in front of his eyes and almost couldn't breathe.

He patted Qin Hao's shoulder, his voice a little hoarse, and said heavily: "Hao'er, don't speak for now!"
