In front of the head of the Wang family and the head of the Zheng family, Lei Ren slapped him directly.
Wang Guohai and Zheng Jingguo's faces turned pale and their brows furrowed.
Wang Guohai said: "General Lei, you are asking for 50 million taels of silver to let one person go. Isn't this a big deal?"
"Even if each of our two families pays 25 million taels, this is not a large amount. You are a bit excessive." Zheng Jingguo agreed.
Lei Ren smiled faintly and shook his head: "It's not 50 million, it's 500 million."
hiss!
As soon as these words came out, Wang Guohai and Zheng Jingguo suddenly sweated on their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief.
Five hundred million taels of silver!
This is not blackmail, this is robbery! And it’s a big robbery!
"This... General Lei, this is absolutely impossible!" Wang Guohai shook his head angrily.
Zheng Jingguo also trembled with both hands and said: "It's impossible, not to mention too much. You want our two families to come up with 250 million taels of silver each. How can our two families come up with so much?"
There aren’t that many. Where can we have so much silver in the remote countryside?”
As soon as Zheng Jingguo finished speaking, Lei Ren immediately corrected him: "It's not your family's 250 million taels, it's your family's 500 million taels!"
"..."
After Lei Ren finished speaking, the two old men with white hair immediately fell into silence. Their wrinkled faces were almost so angry that there was no color at all.
"Hmph, General Lei, you are simply a vampire!"
Wang Guohai turned his face and said: "Don't say 500 million taels, 50 million taels, or even 5 million taels! You can do whatever you want with our family members. However, I have to remind you, don't be too polite."
Pass! If the fish is dead and the net is broken, you won't get a tael of silver! Be careful of ghosts walking at night!"
After Wang Guohai finished speaking, he snorted coldly and turned around to express his dissatisfaction with Thunder Blade.
"The royal family leader..."
Zheng Jingguo showed a troubled expression, and turned to look at Lei Ren: "General Lei, your price has sold all the property of our two families, and we can't get it out. Do you think... Mr.
a little?"
After a pause, Zheng Jingguo said: "How about 50 million? Our family will pay 50 million taels of silver. What do you think? This is really the most we can afford."
Lei Ren was unmoved, smiled faintly, and said: "In that case, those two, please. In this matter, I will follow the normal procedure. I will send them to Xiandu City first, and then wait for the news from Xiandu City.
.Before the news of the trial in Xiandu City comes out, your two families cannot leave the house. As for whether Xiandu City will convict you two of treason, confiscate all family properties, and punish the nine tribes, I naturally don’t know...
Please, you two!"
"Do you think you can scare me like this? Huh, I eat more salt than you eat rice. Don't try to play tricks in front of me!" Wang Guohai snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the living room angrily.
Zheng Jingguo looked like he was in a dilemma and asked Lei Ren: "General Lei, please take it a little less. We can still discuss it if it's a little less..."
Lei Ren shook his head: "This is a fund for the troops, not for me. There is no room for negotiation. You can go back. I will send people to protect you tonight until there is news from Xiandu City..."
"well!"
Hearing Lei Ren's decisive words, Zheng Jingguo shook his sleeves angrily and ran out.
Lei Ren sat leisurely on a chair, drinking tea and counting in his mouth: "One, two, three, four..."
Before he could count to "ten", he saw Zheng Jingguo pulling Wang Guohai back.
"General Lei..."
Zheng Jingguo looked at Lei Ren with an extremely embarrassed expression and said.
On the side, Wang Guohai looked arrogant. However, he walked back and stood in front of Lei Ren again, which already explained the problem.
"What, you agree to my conditions?"
In fact, Lei Ren knew very well that the behavior of these two old guys just now was just a joke.
Crying poor?
How can a businessman who can make hundreds of millions of dollars in one transaction not be able to offer 500 million taels of silver? One billion is no problem! Lei Ren's offer of this condition can no longer be considered cruel.
Therefore, he was 100% sure that these two old men would never risk the entire family for this little money.
Zheng Jingguo nodded: "Well, I discussed it with the royal family leader and thought it would be better not to alarm the people in Xiandu City..."
Wang Guohai snorted coldly and said: "General Lei, you are really a greedy person. This is the first time I have encountered a greedy person like you!"
Lei Ren laughed: "Is this the first time? So, it seems that the royal family leader still wants to deal with me in the future..."
"Humph, impossible!"
Wang Guohai refused to give Lei Ren a good look and said instead: "We are willing to pay the money, but if you collect it, leave a space bag. The weapons and silver in it should be returned to us, right?"
Lei Ren shook his head: "This is evidence and illegal income. Hey, I'm afraid it won't be returned within a short period of time. Chief Zheng, what do you think?"
"Uh... Okay, okay, it's settled. We've stung the hornet's nest ourselves. Let's accept this somersault!"
Under Thunder Blade's coercion and inducement, the two families finally had no choice but to pay 500 million taels of silver Thunder Blade each before releasing him.
As for the prisoners of the Fire Eagle Legion, Lei Ren interrogated them for many days, and finally came up with the news that the Fire Eagle Legion was also recruiting troops. After that, they found nothing, so Lei Ren imprisoned the prisoners.
Through this method, Lei Ren obtained 1.21 billion taels of silver out of thin air, as well as more than 20,000 weapons. It was a windfall from heaven.
Next, things for Thunder Blade became much simpler: recruit troops and pay them.
After all, Firestone City is a small city, and there are not many cultivators. Lei Ren spent a lot of effort and only recruited more than 600 people in half a month. It was so hard to cry without tears.
"Boss, it's bad, the Fire Eagle Legion has sent a force to our side. It looks like they want to attack us!"
Another half month later, on this day, Ni Qiang hurried into Lei Ren's study and lost his voice.
"How many people came?"
This is the issue that Lei Ren is most concerned about. The Fire Eagle Legion is attacking Firestone City. This is what Lei Ren expected. Especially when Lei Ren still imprisons several members of the Fire Eagle Legion and has not released them.
"Judging from the team, there should be about 10,000 people." Ni Qiang responded.
Haha, ten thousand people?
Hearing this, Lei Ren smiled.
The Fire Eagle Legion really doesn't take themselves seriously, so fine, I'll let them pay the price for underestimating the enemy!
Although the force of ten thousand is more than the 8,500 troops of Lei Ren, Lei Ren is still defending the city!
This can only show that the Fire Eagle Legion really regarded him as Su Chenglong's defeated army and did not take Thunder Blade seriously.
