1823. Chapter 1823 Thunderblade is also treacherous
Firestone City, midnight.
A group of people passed through a small road in Firestone City, bypassed the city gate and left the city.
This small road is extremely hidden and is usually guarded, so ordinary people are not allowed to approach it.
This group of people, a dozen or so people in front and back, quietly left Firestone City under the moonlight and headed south.
"Old Zheng, this time, you still have the same price, right?"
"Of course, didn't we agree to do business together and make a fortune together? We are all the same regarding prices. We, the Zheng family, will never deceive you, the Wang family. What is the relationship between the two families? Haha."
"Yes, let's make money together. By the way, our delivery this time is so large, will they pay cash?"
"A large quantity? One or two hundred million silver, which can only be regarded as average for the transactions of weapons and iron ore. Don't worry, the Fire Eagle Legion will definitely pay half in cash and half in arrears as agreed.
.That’s not bad, haha, if it weren’t for this war, we wouldn’t be able to make all this money.”
"That's right, I've made a lot of money this time. Next time I go to Xiandu City to visit the brothels, I'll treat you, haha..."
This group of people moved forward quietly.
The twelve people are all members of the two wealthy families in Firestone City, the Wang family and the Zheng family.
These two groups went out late at night, naturally to trade weapons with the Fire Eagle Legion.
When the Nanzhou War broke out, these businessmen made a fortune.
Marching from late at night to noon the next day, they stopped in a wine shop more than a hundred miles away from the City of Fire.
After staying there for a day, a group of people entered the wine shop the next day. This group of six people, all wearing gray robes, were from the Fire Eagle Legion.
The place they agreed to trade was in this wine shop.
The two parties exchanged pleasantries before entering the wine shop and conducting business quietly.
Hoo ho ho!
Outside the wine shop, a strong wind blew at some point, but no one in the wine shop noticed it.
However, when these people came out of the wine shop after completing the transaction, they found that the entire wine shop had been surrounded by people!
Their guards who were standing sentry outside were also quietly killed!
"Yes... from Firestone City..."
Wang Shuliang, the second elder of the Wang family, looked at the costumes of these people and recognized them immediately.
Next to him, Zheng Jingguo, the third elder of the Zheng family, also said: "Yes, he is from Thunder Blade of Firestone City. I recognize this person. This person is the guard captain of Thunder Blade, his name is Ni Qiang!"
The person sent by the Fire Eagle Legion to trade was a leader in the late stage of becoming a god, named Yang Long. When he saw that there were two hundred people surrounded here, with a strong aura, he felt a little scared.
"Stop struggling, resisters, die!"
At this time, a person walked out from behind Ni Qiang with a stern face, it was Lei Ren.
Seeing Thunder Blade, everyone in the wine shop immediately changed their expressions!
If only Ni Qiang was here, they might be able to fight their way out of the siege.
But if General Thunderblade came in person, they would be helpless.
Even the stone hills of the Immortal Stage can be easily defeated. Those cultivators in the Divine Transformation Stage will probably be able to deal with them easily with the Thunder Blade.
"General Lei, why are you here? We are surrounded by heavy troops. Are you going too far to deceive others? We are not breaking the law!"
Wang Shuliang looked at Lei Ren, gritted his teeth, looked angry, and scolded Lei Ren.
Lei Ren sneered: "You didn't break the law? Are you sure? Say it again if you have the ability!"
Afterwards, Lei Ren's voice became louder, scaring Wang Shu so much that he lowered his head in guilt and did not dare to speak anymore.
Lei Ren and the others actually led their troops to follow them here. Naturally, Lei Ren probably knew what they were doing in this wine shop.
"Damn it, you are so careless. When did the people from Thunder Blade set their sights on us?!" Wang Shuliang said angrily in his heart.
Under the clear contrast of strength, Wang Shuliang, Zheng Jingguo, Yang Long and others, a total of fifteen people, were all brought back to Firestone City by Thunder Blade.
After returning to Flint City, Lei Ren first sent people to seal the path leading outside Flint City.
After that, he imprisoned Wang Shuliang, Zheng Jingguo and Yang Long.
Thunder Blade searched out and confiscated all six interdimensional bags belonging to Wang Shuliang and the other three. He and Ni Qiang personally took inventory, and the results shocked them greatly!
There are more than 20,000 weapons in total, and 210 million taels of silver!
This was naturally a large sum of money. Ni Qiang had never seen so much silver in his life! When he saw it, his eyes lit up.
"Two hundred and ten million. What I want to get is more than this amount."
Seeing the harvest, Lei Ren was not satisfied, but said to Ni Qiang confidently.
Sure enough, in less than a day, people from the Zheng family and the Wang family came to Lei Ren's temporary residence and asked Lei Ren to release them.
Lei Ren pointed it out directly: "Wang Shuliang and Zheng Jingguo were doing weapons business with the Fire Eagle Legion, and they were caught by this general. There are all the witnesses and physical evidence, how dare you come to ask for them? Let me ask you, they are treasonous and collaborating with the enemy.
Do you know about this? Or was it just you who instigated it?"
The words frightened the heads of the Wang family and the Zheng family into a cold sweat.
The so-called three nobles of Flint City are indeed strong, but they are only strong in Flint City.
Facing Thunder Blade's thousands of cultivation soldiers, the three nobles, even if they unite, are clearly no match for Thunder Blade.
Therefore, at this time, Lei Ren took their hand and spoke straightforwardly. The two nobles could no longer argue.
"If you don't admit it, then I will immediately escort them to Xiandu City, and then present personal and material evidence to His Majesty the Emperor for trial. What do you think the result will be?" Lei Ren said.
"Don't!"
"No, no, no!"
Upon hearing this, the head of the Wang family and the head of the Zheng family stood up almost at the same time and spoke nervously.
"General Lei, if you have something to say, we, the Wang family, don't want this kind of thing to get into trouble." Wang Guohai, the head of the Wang family, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
Zheng Yunzhi, the head of the Zheng family, is a man who is good at observing people's words. He stared at Lei Ren for a long time, pondered for a while, and then said quite sensibly: "General Lei, people in the light don't tell secrets. Please tell me your conditions. We can do it."
When you arrive, you will definitely do it!"
Zheng Yunzhi saw that Lei Ren's purpose was to blackmail them!
Hearing this, Lei Ren did not deny it and said: "Although they are collaborating with the enemy, fortunately I found out in time and it did not lead to a big mistake. Since you two are willing to repent and are willing to help our army resist the Fire Eagle Legion, I can
Consider giving them a chance to mend their ways."
Funding?
Zheng Yunzhi and Wang Guohai looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat. Knowing that Lei Ren was about to start "blackmailing", they both closed their eyes slightly and listened, waiting for Lei Ren to give the price.
