Chapter 431 - 431-Resurrection
Mute’s heart instantly came to life. He would never have thought that there would be such a good thing even in his dreams. He had come back from the dead.
Could he put down that grappling hand and stop using force on his wound? He was afraid that before it was time to identify Zhou Dalang, he would die from excessive blood loss.
Mute nodded his head like he was pounding garlic. The sounds of ‘ah ah ah’ made him so anxious that he split his legs.
He was afraid that Xiao Baoxin would misunderstand and think that he would rather break than bend, and directly break him into two like a firewood stick
Xiao Baoxin raised his eyebrows and saw Mute extend a finger at him with lightning speed. His bean-sized eyes emitted a blazing light.
She didn’t understand what the sudden light meant, but she could hear his thoughts. This guy saw that there was a way out and immediately talked about a deal with her.
He had made a deal with Zhou Dalang and wanted to continue with her.
He still wanted to ask her for another ten thousand taels. Did she look like a fool who wanted money?
“What do you mean?” Xiao Baoxin’s face was filled with innocence.” You want to ask me for a hundred taels of silver as settlement fees?”
Mute’s head shook like a wavy drum. Killing at this price was no different from killing. He had a price of ten thousand taels in his heart. Actually, it was not impossible for him to agree to a thousand taels.
After all, if they left a life, there was hope.
However, 100 taels was too little. Now that this chaotic world had turned into a pot of porridge, if he could not find a place to settle down, he was afraid that the money would be gone. Money was his life, and it was better to lose his life than his money.
He was afraid of being poor.
He became a robber so that he would not have to live a poor life anymore. However, those people used their hands and effort, while he used his brain.
It was also because the world was in chaos and bandits were rampant in Jiankang City that Mute and his cousin decided to learn from them and rob their homes. They would then start a rebellion with his cousin’s brothers who were usually local ruffians and hooligans.
He did not expect that he would really succeed a few times, but they were all small fights that did not quench his thirst.
A thousand or eight hundred taels of silver might seem like a lot for a single person, but it couldn’t stop them from chewing on it in numbers. The cost was there, and there wouldn’t be much left after spreading it out. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so hot-headed and listened to Zhou Dalang’s bluff.
Now he understood that none of these aristocratic families were to be tritrifled with.
At first, he had thought that it would be light to flatten the Xie family with a hundred or eighty people. Even if the Xie family had many people, they were all powerless servants. Zhou Dalang had given him advice, but he had thought that Zhou Dalang was timid and afraid of trouble. He was just asking for a foolproof plan. Now, it seemed that Zhou Dalang knew very well that the Xie family was not to be trifled with. Otherwise, he would have secretly found a group of people to sneak into their team.
He was being used as a tool.
Mute didn’t know how to speak, but his brain worked faster.
He did not understand the twists and turns of the aristocratic families. He had never come into contact with them in his life and had never understood them. Now that he had suffered a loss, he understood. Even the mistress of the house was a martial artist. She was ruthless and ruthless. No matter how many people he had, they would fall into her hands.
It was too sinister.
He firmly waved his finger and refused to compromise. If he did not have a thousand taels, he would rather die than live. If he couldn’t even beg, wouldn’t he starve to death?
“Ten taels?” How could Xiao Baoxin do as he wished and deliberately say less.
Ten thousand!
Mute said something anxiously, but it didn’t sound like it. The buzzing sound was like an old dog barking.
The four maids couldn’t help but laugh. His wife was too wicked. Who would lower the price?
However, his wife was very serious. She was clearly a hateful robber, but why did she look so pitiful now?
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but laugh.” What’s wrong? You still want to lower the price? One tael?”
Mute gritted his teeth, crossed his arms, and drew a circle in the air.
It meant that he wanted more.
Xiao Baoxin dislocated Mute’s arm with a Tendon Splitting and Bone Dislocating Hand. Mute let out a shrill cry, and his entire face changed color. He fell to the ground and couldn’t get up.
He wanted to die.
“Don’t say that I’m not loyal. I’ll give you a thousand taels of silver. How did you plan with Zhou Dalang, how did you collect the silver, and all the twists and turns in your life, settle them for me.”Xiao Baoxin stood up this time.
The two guards had sharp eyes and were afraid that Mute would take things too hard and offend Xiao Baoxin. The moment her hand left Mute’s shoulder, the two guards stepped forward and pressed down on one side of Mute’s shoulder to control him.
“I believe in your brain. You can definitely settle it.”
“If you play any tricks on me, I have the ability to make you wish you were dead, understand?”
Xiao Baoxin looked down at Mute condescendingly, his chin slightly raised. His imposing manner was so overbearing that the four maids ‘eyes almost went straight. He was simply too handsome!
Although Mute was mute, he could still hear her.
At this moment, he couldn’t care less about the pain. If he could get 1,000, he would get 1,000. Now, if he were to give him 100 taels of silver, he would do it even if he had to give up his biological father.
This woman is beautiful, but her heart is very vicious.
He believed in what was worse than death. This was definitely not a threat. It was the truth.
Mute didn’t even dare to raise his head. It was the rule of a powerful family that they couldn’t look at other people’s wives. Even the maids weren’t people they could look at casually. He only used his head to nod and kowtow to the ground, indicating that he understood and agreed.
As for what method to use, Xiao Baoxin didn’t care. She just wanted the results.
“Take them away and send them to the chief justice.”
Xiao Baoxin went out with the four maids. It was late August and the night was as cold as water. Fortunately, Xiao Baoxin had a foundation in martial arts and was as strong as an ox.
“That mute has finally paid. Not only did he not die, but he also got a thousand taels of silver from the ground.”Cai Wei grumbled indignantly:” Only Furen is kind enough to spare him. If it were someone else, he would have killed him.”” Tangli glanced at Cai Wei, indicating for her to stop talking.
Did she not know that a maid died from talking too much?
Cai Wei’s mouth was long enough, she knew all the things that no one could find out about.
It was all Madam’s orders, so it was not a big deal. However, it was not up to them to question the decision of the main family. They were not allowed to have too many ideas of their own.
Tangli was usually on good terms with Cai Wei, so she indicated for her to not talk too much.
Cai Wei laughed dryly, sometimes unable to control her mouth,””I am… Just casually saying… That’s true. If he didn’t give him 1,000 taels, would he have turned against the Zhou family?”
“The most despicable is that Zhou family! He had bribed the bandits and wanted to take down the Xie family. He really had the heart to do it!”
“Back then, it was clearly their Zhou Weiniang who did something outrageous. Now, she’s making a countercharge. She even thinks that she’s the victim and wants to deal with our Madam! I think it’s just a family that confuses right and wrong and doesn’t distinguish between black and white!”
Cai Wei was filled with righteous indignation, the more she spoke, the angrier she got. The main culprit was the Zhou family!
“I said I’ll give him a thousand taels, so he’s giving him a thousand taels?” Xiao Baoxin smiled. Even if I gave him the entire Liang Empire, I would still have it.”
What?
Even Tang Li was surprised. She could put half a peach in her mouth.. So you’re such a lady?!
