Chapter 64
"but……"
Xin Zhuo emphasized, "I have conditions. I have always been a person who strongly believes in promises. I am such a person. I believe that all the young masters and ladies with outstanding martial arts and noble family backgrounds must be the same."
Have you heard about the commitment agreement that Chen Jing and his gang signed with me? What do you think it is? Blackmail? Weird? Weird?
In fact, it was just a step to let Miss Su go. Once she got down, everyone had a good face. From the beginning to the end, I didn’t take any advantage. After all, I, a little bandit, can’t fight with you. I feel aggrieved.
I wipe my tears at night, who can understand the pain in my heart?"
His eyes turned red as he spoke.
"Ugh..." Xiao Huang next to him also had his head drooped and his ears drooped, with a look of aggrievedness on his face, which made Xin Zhuo almost lose his temper.
This credibility is suddenly high!
Chen Guiyan hugged the child with difficulty, and thought for a moment: "What Master Xin said... does make some sense, so if you have any conditions, you might as well say so."
"There is no problem for me to let you go, but I'm afraid that you have to be like Chen Jing and others, and give me the most valuable thing in your life to guarantee it. Isn't this reasonable?
It’s not that I don’t believe you, I just think the spirit of the contract is more appropriate. Is this wrong? This is absolutely right!”
Everyone was silent, mainly because Xin Zhuo's words were a bit convoluted and needed to be digested.
If you think about it carefully, Xin Zhuo is really not a murderous person. Although he injured many people, he did not kill him. Even a beautiful woman like Miss Su did not suffer any harm.
Compared with Sun Wuyi, he is a real person!
In other words,
Everyone present was not afraid of death. It was a blessing to sign some damn contract with this little thief and leave unscathed.
As long as a person is alive, there are infinite possibilities.
After a final inner struggle, a group of people agreed without hesitation: "Okay! No problem!"
"It's so refreshing! You are indeed a heroic generation, admirable!"
Xin Zhuo smiled happily.
Xiao Huang next to him was also jumping up and down with a proud look on his face.
Everyone had no choice but to laugh along.
The picture suddenly became harmonious.
In order to show that he indeed had this quirk, Xin Zhuo took out three incense sticks from the Tiger Village to worship the gods, lit it with a torch, and bowed three times to the air:
"I light incense to worship the gods, but it is difficult to reconcile my feelings. Now I am reconciled with all the gentlemen and young ladies, and we will not infringe on each other, and we will do what we say!"
Yuan Yourong, Murong Lei and the others stared blankly, feeling extremely ridiculous.
This Xin Zhuo... actually believes in the promise to the point of being so obsessed!
How many of the trustworthy people in the world are treacherous and sycophantic?
Could it be that Xin Zhuo is really a loyal young man?
The remaining doubt in my heart suddenly disappeared.
This kid...maybe has a good nature.
Xin Zhuo had already turned around, with a pair of convincing dimples on his cheeks, and waved his hand: "Come on, let me give you gentlemen and ladies some water first, and see how thirsty you are. It's so unkind, and that one
……Paper, ink and pen!"
"Okay, boss!"
Huang Dagui and Han Jiulang, who were waiting outside, worked together to carry a bucket of water in.
It's okay not to mention water. When they saw the water, not only Yuan Yourong and others were thirsty, but Chen Guiyan and others who had sucked a belly of wrong muscles and cartilage powder were also thirsty.
So each person had a bowl and drank it all, but there was no taste at all.
Afterwards, it was very important to untie everyone's arms and sign the most important things in their lives. Xin Zhuo needed to look at them one by one to prevent them from fishing in troubled waters.
For example, Wang Yuejing does not recognize such things as guarantees of my personality and integrity.
After finishing, I looked at Wangyue Well, and I saw that the spirit of this contract was indeed extremely mysterious. Once they drank the water from the well, the signed things they owed themselves accounted for half of their lives, and it took effect immediately.
There are currently 13 people offering sacrifices to the spirits in the well, with only two spaces left. There are more than 30 people on the other side, which is obviously not enough, so we can only continue to replace and share them.
While he was thinking about it, Murong Lei suddenly asked: "Since the promise has been signed, can we let us go?"
Xin Zhuo shook his head: "With your current physical condition, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back. You will need to be raised for a few days. That's it for the time being. I will send someone to serve you with good food and drink every day. Give me a few days and let it go naturally."
You leave completely, trust me."
Murong Lei and others looked at each other, and Yuan Yourong said: "Then at least send one person back to report that everything is safe. Don't worry, Master Xin, there is a fierce battle outside the city, and we are also in your hands, so we will not threaten you.
"
Xin Zhuo was silent for a moment. Logically speaking, he must not be released, but... his mind suddenly came alive again. The heads of the four major families were not here, and I wonder who would come. Could he take the opportunity to blackmail him again?
After all, I have tasted the blood-sucking promotion power, which is like poison, making it difficult for people not to think about it.
Anyway, the news of these people's capture will be spread back to the city sooner or later. Even after releasing them, there will still be some conflicts. Why can't I let the storm come more violently? Anyway, the highest level is six, can you kill me instantly?
If that didn't work, I took my bandit subordinates and jumped into the river from the back mountain to run away.
"good!"
…
Fufeng City.
The battle outside the city and the bandit suppression in Fulong Mountain did not affect the prosperity of the frontier within the city.
The streets are crowded with people, customers are lingering in shops, and the shouts of street vendors are heard one after another.
There were also some Dongyi traveling merchants who brought fine mutton-fat jade, purple-blood spiritual stones and fine furs, and hawked them along the streets.
But the most exciting thing these days is of course the two poems in Zui Xin Lou and the kidnapping of the oiran by the poet's author. This is simply a long-lasting topic of conversation after dinner.
In addition to this, there are four bets made by masters of the family to capture the thief king Xin Zhuo. It can be said that the whole people participate. Those who have money place a bet of 1,800 taels, and those who have no money also take three copper coins and two taels of broken silver.
And as time goes by, the truth is about to come to light, and the betting trend is unprecedented.
There was a huge crowd in front of the Ruyi Gambling House on West Street, and the bets had grown from silver taels to three pounds of wheat, four pounds of wild apples, and even more outrageous, there were people betting on their wives and children.
Betting on this kind of thing is really scary!
"Mr. Jiang bet another five thousand taels. The total of the two gambling houses is twenty thousand taels, right? Is this the entirety of Mr. Jiang's current net worth?"
Jiang Hezhu and other young masters gently waved their folding fans to squeeze out of the crowd. The fat young man said with envy: "I'm afraid I'm going to make a lot of money!"
"I don't dare take it!" Jiang Hezhu said leisurely, "In addition to being obsessed with martial arts, I also have some fun in gambling."
"May I ask Mr. Jiang why he is so sure that it must be the Song family and the Chen family?" The fat man was very confused.
"Good question!" Jiang Hezhu said with a smile: "I investigated this matter through visits and investigations, and through my connections, I made friends with Mr. Xing, the man who went to encircle and suppress Xin Zhuo last time. I have some knowledge of Xin Zhuo, and this is one of them.
.
Secondly, parallel analysis, the eldest son Murong turned against the thieves, after all, he is a member of his own family, the Murong family will definitely turn against the rat, and the leader of the Yuan family is a young lady, I am afraid that she will be motivated. If these two are excluded, naturally the Chen family and the Song family will
The winning rate is higher.”
"Ingenious!" The fat young man laughed, and then asked doubtfully: "By the way, the man named Shangguan Fan Qing is said to have detained Xin Zhuo to kill the four families for thirty thousand taels. What is his confidence?"
"Nonsense!" Jiang Hezhu said with disdain. "Since ancient times, it has been a gambling practice to analyze the winning rate before betting, so that you can make a sure profit without losing money. Even if the bandit Xin Zhuo has some skills, he will not be able to win due to his absolute strength.
In front of me, I'm still a little bit conceited. As a qualified gambler, I can't bet on low probabilities. This is stupid behavior. This Shangguan brother, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the city gate. A disgraced and tattered knight almost screamed with all his strength: "The masters of the four major families were captured alive by the thief king Xin Zhuo, and the entire army was wiped out.
Please rescue..."
After saying that, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
There was instant silence in all directions.
Jiang Hezhu felt his eyes go dark and stumbled out.
"Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
