Gu Xun lowered his handsome face and asked in a weak voice:
"For a one-time payment, what is the maximum amount that I think is appropriate for you?"
Haha, you have to let others suggest the amount of blackmail, you are so good...
The Six-Fingered Black Man wanted to say it was best not to take any points, but it was obviously impossible, so he could only reluctantly make a rough calculation:
"If it's a one-time deal, I'm afraid it will cost at most... twenty thousand gold."
"Huh!?" Gu Xun couldn't help but look like dead fish eyes when he heard this, staring straight at the Six-Fingered Black Man.
That’s it?
One of the hundreds of schools of thought, the largest gang in the world, with one hundred thousand disciples, this is it???
Are you kidding me?
The Six-Fingered Black Man's tone was a little awkward when he said the amount. After all, it was 80% less than Gu Xun's original asking price, but the problem is...
According to his estimation, the farmer can only afford this price at this juncture.
In order to defend the honor of the various schools of thought, the six-fingered black man coughed lightly and tried to explain:
"Farmers... are indeed not very wealthy. Jianghu sects are just Jianghu sects after all. Although they have various channels to collect money, maintaining the operation of the sects is also quite expensive."
"What's more, for a peasant family, one hundred thousand disciples are both a strength and a drag."
Gu Xun still couldn't accept it. He spread his hands and said in a surprised tone:
"Even so, it's too outrageous. I squeezed two hundred thousand gold from Cricket and one night. The farmer's strength can be said to be enough to defeat four nights, right?"
"Um...strength and money are two different things, right?" Six-fingered Black Man replied speechlessly.
"Besides, Night...it is an organization attached to South Korea, which is different from the Jianghu forces like us."
The six-fingered black man added in a complicated tone, "Ye Mu's funds... are not so much Ye Mu's money as they are South Korea's treasury funds in the past ten years."
"...That's true." Gu Xun thought about it and found that it was indeed the truth.
In the final analysis, it is the poverty of South Korea that creates the wealth of the night.
Of course, Gu Xun doesn’t think that exploiting Ye Mu is equivalent to exploiting Korean people.
It is impossible for Ye Mu to return the money to the treasury, and even if it is returned, it will be squandered by Han Wangan, which is equivalent to a waste.
The six-fingered black man nodded slightly, "It's good that Mr. Gu can understand. Let alone the farmers who are bound to be short of funds these days, even my Mo family can only scrape together thirty or forty thousand gold in a short period of time."
"Twenty thousand gold is basically the farmer's limit. I think I won't be wrong."
"Yes, Juzi, your estimate is not wrong, but... that's just based on your knowledge." Gu Xun suddenly smiled again, no longer frustrated as before, and murmured softly.
After just casually mentioning the night scene, he remembered something that should be very useful.
The six-fingered black man’s brows could not help but frown under his hood.
Based on my knowledge... is it possible that there is really an important secret behind the farm?
What is that? Why does Gu Xun seem to know it so well?
Even though he was full of doubts, the Six-Fingered Black Man had no intention of asking.
If you can speak, the other party will explain it directly when you bring it up, and there is no point in asking.
"I've changed my mind." Gu Xun put on a bright smile and changed his previous attitude of relenting, "I still want one hundred thousand gold."
"This is impossible..."
Before the Six-fingered Black Man finished saying his words of rejection, Gu Xun raised his right hand:
"Don't refuse in a hurry, giant."
"One hundred thousand gold is my bid. You can talk to the farmer and you can reduce it appropriately, but it cannot be less than fifty... sixty thousand gold."
Five... no, it’s better to be six.
"But..."
The Six-Fingered Black Man continued to try to persuade, but was interrupted by Gu Xun again.
"Just do as I say, Don't worry, I won't blame you even if your talks fall apart."
"..."
The six-fingered black man doesn't want to talk. Yes, you won't blame me or the Mo family, but you will probably go to bring trouble to the farmer's family!
Seeing the six-fingered black man hesitate to speak, Gu Xun still maintained his smiling expression and waved his hand indifferently.
Of course he is not forcibly exploiting farmers.
If the farmer has no money, he can still go to Mr. Changping behind him!
As the Right Prime Minister of the Qin State, he holds the power of the Chu State in the DPRK, and secretly may have some connections with the Chu State.
As a secret boss with two countries at his feet, he can’t even afford tens of thousands of gold, right?
No way, right?
Anyway, regardless of whether he can pay for it or not, Gu Xun will squeeze it out.
As long as that guy still hopes to use the power of the farmer, he will definitely try his best to provide the money.
Feeling that the Six-fingered Black Man was filled with an aura of embarrassment, Gu Xun added again:
"I can give farmers an extra two or three months to raise funds."
Two or three months... is better than nothing.
The Six-fingered Black Man sighed in his heart and could only accept this result.
Let’s wait until we get back in touch with the farmer and then think of a solution.
While talking, Gu Xun and the others finally passed through the long and winding corridor and re-entered the mountain.
This is the real activity area for Mohist disciples. Once inside, you can see Mohist disciples wearing black and white clothes walking around everywhere.
Six Finger Black Man introduced:
"From this point on, even if you enter the main area of the organ city, this area is divided into five areas, each connected by mountain corridors."
"As I'm about to leave, I still have some things to deal with, so I can't accompany my husband to visit the government city all the time. I hope you'll forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay. If you have something to do, you'll be busy. As for visiting the government city..." Gu Xun waved his hand and replied with a nonchalant smile.
The Six-fingered Black Man immediately answered, "Mr. Gu can do whatever he wants regarding the tour of the government city, or he can find any free disciple to accompany him."
"That's good..." Gu Xun nodded slightly, and then asked, "There should be some places in the government city that are inconvenient for outsiders to enter. What if I wander in by myself?"
The six-fingered black man chuckled softly, "Don't worry about this. Important areas in the agency city are usually blocked by agencies, or disciples, so they won't enter by mistake."
Unless you sneak in deliberately...
The Six-fingered Black Man didn't say these words, he just looked at Gu Xun and thought to himself.
He didn't think that Gu Xun would definitely not do this, but he wasn't particularly worried.
I am not confident that Gu Xun will not be able to break in, but at least I am sure that I know Gu Xun’s secret activities.
The important areas of the Organ City are all sealed by agencies. Anyone who enters or exits, whether he forcibly destroys the agency to break in, or secretly opens the agency to enter, will cause the corresponding agency in the Mo Core, the core center of the Agency City, to react.
As long as Gu Xun can't walk through the wall, he can't sneak into it secretly.
After explaining the matter, the Six-fingered Black Man left. Before leaving, he arranged for two Mo family disciples to take Gu Xun and Yan Lingji to the guest room prepared for them.
Naturally, Gu Xun and his wife would not refuse and went happily.
