Chapter 77 Despair
"Let you go? Huh, you were the one who provided money and effort for Lin Dong to train the army, and now you want me to let you go? Okay, then just buy your life with money, I don't want more, fifty taels of silver a piece
As long as you give me fifty taels of silver, I will let one of you go, otherwise, I will kill you without mercy." Cang Lang said with a cold snort.
"Fifty taels? Isn't that too much, good man? Linjia Village is full of poor people, how can we get so much money at once?" A fat man in gorgeous clothes said tremblingly.
"Too expensive? If it's too expensive, forget it. Anyway, the money will belong to me even if I kill you. Brothers, come to me and kill them all. The money and the women will all have a share." Cang Lang shouted and immediately swung his sword.
He rushed towards the entrance of the village.
"Heroes, wait a minute!" Just as the bandits were about to attack, several men in brocade clothes snatched them out from the crowd and said tremblingly. Judging from the clothes of this man, he must be a rich man.
"What else do you have to say?" Canglang waved his hand, signaling to the people behind him to temporarily stop attacking.
"Heroes, we were not involved in supporting Lin Dong in training the army, and we did not contribute any money or effort. If you don't believe me, you can ask them, and please don't accidentally hurt good people." One of the fat men stood up and said tremblingly.
"It's so shameless. Lin Dong offended the bandit in order to save you guys. Now it's better. He actually puts all the blame on a dead man. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" The villagers were furious after hearing this. Some people were already
He cursed loudly.
"Hmph, I don't care. Anyway, Lin Dong is from your Lin family village. Since he can destroy my Canglang Ridge, I can destroy his village. How come you have lived for so many years and don't even know the principle of retribution?"
?"
Cang Lang paused for a moment and then said: "If you want to live, you can bring money. As I said just now, fifty taels of silver per person, no matter how much you lose."
"I, I am willing to pay. As long as a good man can spare my life and that of my family, I am willing to pay any amount." A middle-aged man said with a pleading expression.
"As I said just now, fifty taels per person, as long as you pay the money, I will let you out." Cang Lang said with a smile.
"Second uncle, what do you want to do?" At this time, a young man grabbed the man and asked. The boy's name was Lin Yi. He looked about 13 or 14 years old and asked with an angry look on his face.
"What else can you do? Of course you have to pay for your life. Look, there are so many bandits, can you hold on?"
"That's right, Lin Yi, I'm not talking about you. I understand that you like Lin Dong, but now that Lin Dong is dead, no matter how powerful he is, he can't come back to save you." The man said with a look of disgust.
"That's right, if you die, you will die. In the end, it will drag us down. If Lin Dong hadn't offended the heroes of Canglang Ridge, why would we be like this." The middle-aged man said again.
"Second uncle, you still have no shame. Don't forget who guarded the village in the first place, otherwise you would have been killed by the bandits." The young man said angrily.
"What do you know? If it weren't for Lin Dong, our village would be fine. In my opinion, he is the black sheep." Na Jinyi retorted.
Seeing how energetic they were arguing, Canglang was not in a hurry to attack, but watched with a smile. Looking at his expression, you could tell that he was very happy at the moment. This is what he wanted to see. If you dare to go against me, you must die.
, However, before I die, I will let you fight in the nest and let you taste the feeling of betrayal and separation.
The middle-aged man scolded the young man, then nodded and bowed and said to Canglang: "Okay, okay, fifty taels is fifty taels, I'll get the money right now!"
Several other wealthy households also agreed, turned around and ran towards home.
"Second uncle and the others are also true. When I asked them to donate money, they were not so active. Now I use it to bribe the bandits, but they are crying because they are poor."
"Yes, these people are just fagots. Waiting for Lin Dong to come back..." Lin Yi lost his voice at this point. Brother Lin Dong, can he come back? Even if he can come back, he won't be able to see us anymore, right?
!”
Sure enough, a few people soon got the silver. They took the silver and came to the front of the crowd and said, "Heroes, I have already taken the silver. Please let the heroes get out of the way and let us pass."
"Hand over the money first." Canglang looked at them coldly and said slowly.
Several people immediately nodded and bowed and handed over the money.
Cang Lang laughed, counted the money in the bag and said, "You can come out now."
After hearing this, several people were overjoyed and hurriedly separated from the crowd and walked towards the bandits.
"Lin Baoqing's family has a tattoo of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and three of his family members are pardoned; Lin Baoqing's family has a tattoo of two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and four of his family members are pardoned; Lin Baogui's family has a tattoo of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and three of his family members are pardoned..."
Soon Cang Lang counted the money and the number of people. He did not expect that this small Linjia Village would actually pocket hundreds of taels of silver.
"Since I have accepted your money, I will not kill you. You just wait aside until I slaughter the whole village before letting you go."
Canglang laughed loudly and asked people to put away the money. What he wanted to see was a fight between enemies!
"Brothers, charge forward and kill them all."
Boss Canglang gave the order, and the bandits behind him immediately roared and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
Seeing the bandits coming like a tide, the villagers felt nervous and tightened their weapons one after another. They knew that this would be a battle between life and death!
As the bandits approached, the villagers no longer hesitated and started fighting with their tiger-forked hoes. A fierce offensive and defensive battle began in the small area at the entrance of the village.
This time, the villagers still adopted the tactics originally planned by Lin Dong, with long weapons in front and short weapons behind.
But Canglang was well prepared this time. The bandits attacked for a while but were unable to break through. Then he waved his big hand and dozens of bandits came forward with crossbows.
"Cum for me!"
Boo hoo hoo…
The arrows pierced the sky and hit the people at the entrance of the village. Villagers like them had never seen such a powerful weapon before, and they were at a loss for a moment.
And during this delay, someone had been hit by an arrow, and screams could be heard one after another. It seemed that many villagers were injured this time.
Seeing the heavy casualties among the villagers, everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Unfortunately, they had limited knowledge and did not know how to deal with these terrifying flying arrows.
Seeing the heavy casualties among the villagers, the Lin Bao family brothers felt very happy in their hearts. The Lin Bao family said with a complacent expression: "Fortunately, I and others saw the opportunity early and bought their lives with money, otherwise they would have died when the Canglang boss captured the village."
I don’t know how to die, but if you don’t believe it, look, they are the precedent.”
"Yes, eldest brother still has the foresight, otherwise, we will be the ones who die." Lin Baoqing looked happy.
